🕑 Added 2025-01-18 11:58:10 +0000 UTCKeito, who was unaware of Reiji's internal dialogue, continued in a heavy tone, "I don't really know what that place is, but I plan to send some people to investigate it."
"Uncle Keito! Please let me go there!" Reiji said, his voice filled with determination.
Keito shot him a sharp look, his eyes suddenly radiating firmness. "Have you lost your mind? That place is dangerous!"
"Even the adult members of the Clan lost their sanity after being there. I won't let you take that risk!"
"But, Uncle Keito! If no one else can go there, then I am the only one who is most likely to understand the situation there."
"Let me go! This is important!" Reiji insisted, his voice growing louder.
"There’s no discussion! I said no!" Keito shouted, his voice echoing in the room.
However, Reiji did not back down.
With a sharp gaze full of determination, Reiji said, "Uncle! This isn't just about me or the Uzumaki Clan! If that place is truly as dangerous as you say, the ninja world could be in great danger."
"Only a genius from the Uzumaki Clan can investigate this properly. If I don't go, who else will?"
Keito fell silent.
Reiji's words touched his logic and sense of responsibility as a leader.
Keito then closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and finally said, "...Alright. But I won't let you go alone. You must go with a group of Anbu for protection."
Reiji smiled widely, satisfaction evident on his face. "No problem! Thank you, Uncle Keito."

Two days had passed since Reiji prepared himself with various Fuinjutsu stored in the Storage Pouch and Magic Ring.
Now, along with the Anbu, Reiji sailed towards the location of the underwater cave that was their target for investigation.
Three small boats, each capable of carrying ten people, moved across the waves, bringing them closer to their destination.
The cold sea breeze blew, carrying a salty aroma that stung the nose.
Reiji stood at the stern of the boat, his eyes looking ahead with determination.
Around Reiji, there were about five to eight Anbu assigned to escort him, standing silently, their faces hidden behind their distinctive masks.
Upon arriving at the location, the boat stopped over the clear waters.
The sunlight penetrating the water's surface reflected the colors of the corals and the fish swimming freely below.
The sight left Reiji momentarily stunned.
He gazed in awe at the beauty, something he rarely felt during serious missions like this.
However, Reiji's awareness quickly returned.
With a hand signal, Reiji gave orders to the Anbu.
They immediately prepared, putting on diving gear, and began to dive into the sea.
The cold water enveloped their bodies as they entered.
The stunning underwater scenery made the journey to the cave feel like exploring another world.
Brightly colored fish swam among the corals, creating a scene that was almost magical.
After a while of swimming, they arrived in front of the underwater cave.
The cave looked dark and eerie from the outside, with its mouth gaping like a monster's jaw.
However, without hesitation, Reiji and the Anbu entered the darkness.
Once inside, they were surprised to see the cave's interior was different from their expectations.
The cave actually looked beautiful, with walls reflecting the dim light from the natural crystals embedded within.
The shimmering light created a mysterious yet captivating atmosphere.
They continued to move deeper until they finally found a large chamber that was not filled with water.
