I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 84 The Role of "Eight Thousand Spears"

The reason it is described as "burning" is because there are flame-like marks at the notch of the talisman, but no ash spills out.

Furthermore, even as the two of them were watching, the talisman continued to dissipate slowly.

"Jianzi, can you still see those ghosts and monsters now?"

Uchiha Hikaru asked.

Jianzi nodded: "Yes, there's one behind you, Miss Guang, about four or five meters away, but it seems to be frightened by Miss Kikyo's talisman and doesn't dare to come closer for now. There are also two on the chair to your left..."

"?"

Uchiha Hikaru turned around and saw nothing at all.

With a blink of an eye, the three-tomoe star is activated.

The kaleidoscope is activated.

It remains the same.

"...It seems we'll have to call in a professional."

Anonymous started a group live stream.

[Anonymous @ Kikyo: Miss Kikyo, can you see what's happening on our end?]

Uchiha Hikaru was not surprised that the Mangekyou Sharingan could not see evil spirits.

In fact, most people in the Naruto world do not have the ability to directly see spirits. They can only see them in certain special circumstances, such as when the Impure World Reincarnation is undone, or in a specific spiritual world.

but.

The Naruto world is not without ways to deal with spirits—

Yin-Yang Escape and Sealing Techniques.

The Truth-Seeking Ball, based on Yin-Yang Release, can destroy the soul of a person resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation, preventing the Impure World's body from regenerating. Theoretically, it can even cause a person's soul to be scattered.

Higher-level sealing techniques and barriers can also restrict the soul. For example, Minato Namikaze used the "Dead Demon Seal" before his death, and the "Four Flames Purple Formation" which was used by the Sound Four and by Akimichi Choza and others to trap Kato Dan in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Hikaru Uchiha intended to use sealing techniques to deal with Naraku.

the other side.

On the carriage heading to Hitomi Castle.

Kikyo, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, opened them and looked at the live stream window that had appeared in the void.

[Kikyo: ...I can see.]

[Kikyo: There are quite a few evil spirits gathered around you, Hikari-san and Miko-san. I can see them very clearly. If you also want to see them, you can stick this talisman on your forehead.]

As she spoke, Kikyo opened the wooden box beside her and took out two talismans.

Ten seconds later.

Uchiha Hikaru affixed the "Spirit Eye Opening Edict Talisman" that Kikyo had just uploaded to her forehead. As the talisman transformed into invisible light and entered her body, it seemed as if a third eye opened on her forehead, and the world she saw had changed completely.

Around the bus stop, blurry figures wandered and moved about.

They were densely packed and terrifying in appearance, looking as if a bunch of people had been thrown into a stone mill and ground up, and then a clump of flesh had been randomly torn out, squeezed, and thrown out. Just one glance at them would make your sanity drop drastically.

At this moment, they formed a circle, all staring longingly in the direction of Uchiha Hikaru and Miko, uttering low murmurs that did not belong to any human language, yet could be understood by people.

"Can you see it?"

"Can you see it?"

"...I don't think this scene was in the original storyline, was it?"

Uchiha Hikaru's lips twitched slightly, somewhat speechless.

The evil spirits of the Seer World have a touch of supernatural, rule-based fantasy. As long as you "cannot see," or even pretend not to see, you can coexist peacefully with them. But once you show signs of "being able to see," they will gather like sharks that have smelled blood, quickly devouring people alive.

Just like right now.

The appearance of the "exorcism talisman" and Uchiha Hikaru caused Miko to take a different approach than in the original story. Instead of pretending to be calm and not seeing them, she pointed at these things, which directly exposed that she had activated her spiritual vision, causing all the evil spirits around to gather, with the closest ones already two or three meters away.

They didn't approach any further because they had "exorcising talismans".

Under the effect of the "Spirit Eye Opening Edict Talisman", Uchiha Hikaru could clearly see a faint talisman light emanating from the talisman in Miko's hand, forming a transparent light film around the two of them. Whenever an evil spirit approached, it would trigger the protective mechanism of the light film, forming an invisible and colorless flame that would burn the other party's body.

Can……

"Miss Hikari, Miss Kikyo's talisman seems to be burning faster and faster, what should we do?"

Seeing that Zi was a little nervous, he said.

Kikyo: ...Should I go over there?

[Anonymous: Not for now. I want to test my abilities first.]

Under Miko's gaze.

Uchiha Hikaru first checked to make sure there were no cameras around—Japan's surveillance system is far less sophisticated than China's; even in a place like Tokyo, there are many areas without surveillance cameras—then he formed hand seals, opened his mouth, and gently blew: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A huge fireball appeared above the street.

"!!"

Yotsuya Miko suddenly opened her eyes wide.

however……

The seemingly formidable flames had no effect on these evil spirits; upon colliding with the rain, they quickly unleashed a cloud of white steam that obscured visibility. It was only because it was dark and raining that few people passed by; otherwise, some passersby might have thought they were encountering a paranormal event.

Immediately afterwards, the black windmill in Uchiha Hikaru's right eye gently turned:

"Amaterasu!"

"Tsukuyomi!"

After some maneuvering, Uchiha Hikaru gradually confirmed the situation:

Ordinary escape techniques are completely ineffective against these spirits; even if they can be seen, it's useless.

Whether it's a Fireball or a Rasengan, it will pass right through them, just like cutting through smoke with a knife. At most, it can only disperse their bodies for a short while, but it doesn't cause any damage. Once the blade passes through, they will immediately regenerate.

The techniques of Amaterasu and Lankavatara are somewhat useful, seemingly allowing spirits to experience some burning or binding pain, but the effect is negligible.

While Tsukuyomi cannot pull them into the illusion space, it can leave an imprint on them.

When Uchiha Hikaru attempted to use his strongest and most hidden eye technique, "Eight Thousand Spears," to draw upon these markings, something unexpected happened—

Surprisingly, wisps of grayish-black flames, drawn by her pupil power, were extracted from these evil spirits and then entered her eye sockets!

As these auras entered, Uchiha Hikaru felt a damp, cold, and dark emotion surge into his mind, but his eyes experienced a strange sense of comfort, as if he had received an eye treatment, and even his vision became slightly clearer.

Uchiha Hikaru's eyelid twitched—

"The 'Eight Thousand Spears' can actually absorb spirits?!"

"No...it must have absorbed the spiritual power that constitutes these spirits?!"
