章 496: 461. Divulging Secrets
After Kanna and Tatsuya's departure, Izuna turns his attention to Akari and Viktor.
"How's the current situation on Donut Island and Redaku?"
"Izuna-sama! The economy of Donut Island is flourishing and there isn't any invasion of sea monsters after the previous attack. As for the central plain of Redaku capital, the current king is diligently ruling the country and is not a power-hungry tyrant like the previous monarch." Akira reports the situation to Izuna.
"Hmm… I see! Well done for a good job!" Izuna nods his head in satisfaction.
"Also, another thing, what is the opinion of the Redaku's people about the war in the shinobi world?"
"Well, about that matter, the people have a split opinion. Some people want to maintain the current status quo and thus don't want to interact or interfere much with the shinobi world. There are also a few among them who are afraid of the power possessed by the shinobis and thus want to avoid them at all costs.
Then, there is also another faction that wants to aid the five great shinobi nations in the war to earn their favor to open trade routes and establish a peaceful relationship with them. Though, most of the people in the second faction are merchants and people who regularly use products from the shinobi world." Viktor explains the situation.
"Hmm… I see!" Izuna nods in understanding as he is aware of the heart of the people.
'Though maintaining the status quo will be hard after the barrier around Redaku vanishes in a few years.'
Everything was a part of his arrangement. The unknown box he gave to the Akari to pass to Ayaka was a sealing artifact called the Box of Ultimate Agony. It is a part of a set and its other half is the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
The box of Ultimate Agony was responsible for maintaining the seal around Redaku while the box of the Ultimate Bliss was responsible for sealing the pathway to Abyss. The unknown God whom the people of Redaku worshipped and the God who was responsible for repelling the invasion of Redaku was the same person who made the entire Fuinjutsu formation around the shinobi world.
And that same God happens to be the younger sibling of Seiryū. Not only that, even the Sin Grimoire which he used extensively in the past is also a divine artifact of the very same person. She was also the kind God who taught Senjutsu to the various summoning animals in the world and she was also responsible for the salvation of Genryūworld from the Abyss.
It is part of all these reasons that Seiryū decided to stay back in this world and investigate the matter of the death of his little sister. And the shrine where she breathes her last happens to be situated in the depth of Redaku Mountain.
Also, all these violent creatures in the Redaku Mountain range are guarding her shrine according to her last wishes. They won't allow any person to enter the sacred grave of their deity and profane it with their filthy hands.
Now, for the two sacred relics in question. Initially, both the Box of Ultimate Agony and the Box of Ultimate Bliss were sealed within the depths of the Tataru mountain.
However, sometime after Seiryū's sister's death; a clan of Abyss devil worshippers from the shinobi world infiltrated the Tataru Mountain range.
These devil worshippers performed a sacrificial ritual and summoned the Dragon Abyss Centurion within the Tataru Mountain range. The guardians of the two boxes allied with the forces from the Light Genryū world to fight against the forces of the Abyss. After a prolonged battle, when the forces of humanity were on the brink of losing the war, they expanded all of their power and summoned a powerful being using the artifact left by Seiryū's sister to win the war.
The rest of the story is known to all as the said being defeated the forces of evil and sealed the Dragon Abyss Centurion within the Prison seal in the HOLE.
'Well, how did I know of such a story? Of course, it's obvious. The person those people summoned was none other than me. As for why I was there in the first place. It's a story for another time.'
Izuna shakes his head in melancholy after recalling some incidents from the past.
'Who would have known that I was the trigger behind all these events that happened to me in these few years in the past? Divine Techniques sure are scary. Able to alter the phenomenon of cause and effect and toy with the fate of mortals.'
Now, for the matter of those two boxes and the seal. During his previous visit to Redaku, he came into possession of the Box of Ultimate Agony. The Uzu clan members are the current guardians of this box. Izuna studied it extensively during the few days he spent in Redaku and became aware of its secrets.
These two boxes are the source of the powerful seal around the Redaku and are also a medium for a very powerful Divine technique. Not only that, the Ultimate Box of Agony in the Uzu clan's possession isn't complete and a part of it lies within the treasury of the Uzumaki clan.
Izuna recalls the strange black box with the sin eye. That box almost made him miss the destiny event of Naruto's birth. However, now that he reflects on these past events, everything seems to be preordained by a set of rules, and all his movements were accounted for within them.
However, what was unaccounted for was the sudden arrival of Seiryū during the Nine-tails attack.
'Sigh… I was so foolish back then!'
Izuna sighs and shakes his head at his foolish act of challenging Seiryū back then. It's laughable how the he from back then fearlessly challenged Seiryū and successfully repelled him.
'Well, most of it was from a series of coincident or if it could even be called so! After learning the news about his sister, Seiryū rushed all the way to the shinobi world without any care for his energy reserves. Not only that, the traces of divine technique on my body surprised him a little. If that wasn't enough then the presence of Sin Grimoire in the hands of a filthy mortal clouded his emotions. Also, he never expected my counterattack with an extremely powerful technique that even threatened his life.
Divine techniques sure are scary. To set the course of fate and destiny straight, even after interference from a higher power. Now that I think about it, it wasn't courage but ignorance that made me challenge Seiryū. I would have died a dog's death, if not for the protection from the divine technique.'
After reminiscing about some memories, he turns to Akari and Viktor and opens his mouth.
"The winds of great change are about to blow through the shinobi world and even Redaku won't remain unaffected by them."
The Akari and Viktor stare into each other's eyes and wait for Izuna to finish his words.
"Gather a few proficient Fuinjutsu experts from the Uzu clan and send them to the Shinobi world to assist the Allied Shinobi Force in their battle against the Akatsuki."
"Yes, Izuna-sama!" Akari accepts his orders without any questions.
"This will serve two purposes. First, it will help the Uzu clan form friendly ties with all shinobi nations in one go and allow them to gain a foothold in the shinobi world. Second, it will also act as a display of strength of the protectors of Redaku's protectors. After witnessing the strength of the Uzu clan members, the few organizations with ulterior motives will think twice before making their move in Redaku. I want Redaku to forever stay as a peaceful haven as a tribute to her." Izuna's eyes turn moist as recalls his memories.
"Anyway, I will leave the rest of the arrangements to you. For now, I am on a vacation in Redaku with my kids."
"Yes, Izuna-sama!" Akari and Viktor nod in understanding and quickly issues a series of orders to hold an emergency clan meeting.
Izuna senses Kanna and Tatsuya's chakra and walks in their direction with a smile on his face.
