SWNOVELXO Chapter 193: Chapter 193
It had been a month since their connection was lost. The silence had stretched on for too long, and now, Tsunade's voice finally cut through the void, shaking Uchiha Shin from his trance-like state.
"It's been a month since we've been disconnected. What the hell is going on with you, Shin?"
Her voice echoed in his ears, pulling him out of the intoxicating warmth he had been drowning in.
Within the suffocating isolation of the seal, emotions that had long been suppressed had begun to surface.
And after thousands of years of imprisonment, Kaguya had become insatiable.
If it weren't for Uchiha Shin's overwhelming physical endurance, he would have never heard Tsunade's voice in the first place.
"Kaguya, stop for a moment. I need to talk to the outside world."
"Shinjun, can you communicate with them?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki lifted her breathtakingly beautiful face, her expression a mix of curiosity and obedience. Despite her words, she did not fully relent.
Her otherworldly yet alluring features carried a hint of doubt, but she remained still, waiting for his answer.
Uchiha Shin, though internally frustrated by the interruption, nodded.
"Yeah. I almost have a plan to get out, but I need the cooperation of the people outside."
Kaguya's pale eyes flashed with a mix of hope and uncertainty. But soon, that hope was overshadowed by something deeper—a sorrow she had buried for centuries.
While showing her gratitude through her actions, she murmured, "Even if I escape, the seal would have masked my chakra for so long. If I reappear, the higher-ups from the Otsutsuki will sense me."
A thousand years had passed, and no one from her clan had come looking for her.
Not because they had forgotten her—but because the universe was vast, and tracking her was an arduous task.
At first, she had feared them coming for her, especially with the overwhelming chakra she had once radiated. It had been a beacon, impossible to ignore.
But the moment she was free, that beacon would reignite. And if the Otsutsuki came looking, the consequences would be inevitable.
Hearing her concerns, Uchiha Shin smirked, placing a firm hand on her head before pushing her down gently.
"Hush, Kaguya. That's not something you need to worry about."
His voice was laced with unwavering confidence.
"If the Otsutsuki send someone, I'll handle them."
A glint of something dangerous flashed in his eyes—a mix of anticipation and hunger.
After all, every Otsutsuki was a walking buffet of power.
Just by being with Kaguya, he was already slowly adapting to her chakra. Given a few more years, he would replicate her abilities entirely.
And if the likes of Momoshiki and Kinshiki dared to show up, he would devour them whole.
Naruto and Sasuke had managed to take them down in the original timeline. So why the hell would he lose now?
Something about Shin's unwavering confidence seemed to affect Kaguya. As if infected by his assurance, she pressed closer, her devotion growing stronger.
The silent gratitude in her actions did not go unnoticed.
Soon after, as Kaguya indulged herself in her own way, Uchiha Shin and Tsunade reestablished their long-lost connection.
"Hey, hey. Sorry, Tsunade. I couldn't tell you what was going on," Shin admitted, a rare hint of embarrassment flickering across his face.
He had been so consumed in his newfound world of pleasure that he had forgotten about everything else.
"Tch. You had me worried, bastard. A whole month without a damn response?"
On Tsunade's side, she wasn't alone.
Mikoto, Kushina, and several others had gathered, their expressions ranging from relief to frustration.
"I told you Shin was fine," Mikoto murmured, a soft smile tugging at her lips.
Her connection with Shin was the strongest among them. Even without direct contact, she had sensed that he was alive and well.
Still, a small part of her had been worried.
Now, hearing his voice through Tsunade's connection, she could finally breathe easily.
Meanwhile, Tsunade leaned back in her chair, crossing her legs clad in black stockings.
"The space tunnel near the celestial spring is sealed. I sent ANBU to investigate, but it's just a normal spring now."
"Fuck! That old fossil Hamura must've done it!"
Shin immediately cursed.
It had to be Hamura. No one else had the ability to sever the tunnel to the moon so cleanly.
"That bitter old ghost must be pissed I wiped out his descendants," Shin muttered, clicking his tongue.
Tsunade sighed. "What now? Any ideas?"
"Yeah. I'll push as much chakra as I can through the seal. If we're lucky, you guys might be able to sense the Flying Thunder God mark I left on the moon."
If this plan failed, then the only alternative was to build a damn rocket and fly there manually.
Due to the constraints of the seal, Shin's ability to transfer chakra was severely limited.
However, if someone on Earth was close enough, they might be able to reestablish their connection through chakra resonance.
After discussing, Tsunade and the others reached a decision.
Mikoto was the best choice.
"Mikoto, your Sharingan is directly linked to Shin, and his Sage Curse Mark is anchored to you," Tsunade explained. "The two of you are more connected than anyone else."
Mikoto nodded solemnly. A small part of her felt a flicker of pride at being the most compatible with Shin. However, she kept her emotions in check.
"I understand. I'll do it."
With Shin's approval, they began the ritual.
"Sage Seal: Chakra Resonance!"
A circle was formed. The markings on their bodies glowed with a radiant pink hue as Shin's chakra began flowing through the link.
Mikoto's curse mark shone the brightest.
Under everyone's watchful gaze, she donned a golden cloak, eerily similar to Shin's.
But hers was more refined—more regal.
Fortunately, Shin had been modifying their bodies for a long time, subtly aligning them closer to the Otsutsuki physique.
As a result, when Mikoto received his chakra, her Mangekyo Sharingan evolved, transforming into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
She felt her connection with Shin intensify to an unprecedented level.
Their link transcended the Six Paths' sealing jutsu.
"Shin kun!" Mikoto gasped. "I can feel you!"
"Then use it!" Shin barked.
"Flying Thunder God!"
With a flash, Mikoto vanished.
The girls back on Earth watched with bated breath.
Tsunade exhaled. "Looks like it worked."
Everyone could only wait, hoping Mikoto would bring back good news.
At this moment, not even the wars raging across the lands mattered. Not as much as Uchiha Shin.
