He paused before adding,
"But that space is empty. No light, nothing inside....pitch black.
Don't be afraid. The moment you activate the imprint, I'll feel it and enter the space to get you."
Yuugao's hands flew to her mouth. Her already large eyes widened in shock.
She never imagined Arata's secret techniques would involve space–time ninjutsu.
Even though she lacked some specialized knowledge, she wasn't naïve.
As a member of the Anbu, she had learned enough to understand how rare these techniques were.
Only a handful in the entire shinobi world had ever mastered space–time jutsu—Second Hokage, Fourth Hokage…
And now Arata, for her sake, had revealed that he possessed such power.
Her chest tightened with overwhelming emotion. Unable to hold back, Yuugao leaned in and kissed Arata fiercely.
For the next few days, Arata indulged himself with Yuugao without restraint.
Days spent wandering the outskirts of Konoha, and nights battling until dawn.
It was fortunate Arata's physical strength rivaled a taijutsu-specialized jōnin's, and that he possessed a partial Sage-Body. Otherwise, he would have collapsed long ago.
On the third day, Izanagi's cooldown finally ended—just in time for Arata to send off Shisui and Itachi.
Uchiha Fugaku, upon learning that his eldest son would be undertaking a mission issued directly by Arata, did not object. He simply instructed Itachi to be careful.
Because Shisui's fake death prevented him from appearing openly, both he and Itachi wore masks.
And Arata had no intention of letting them leave through Konoha's main gates....it was too troublesome and too conspicuous.
Early that morning, Shisui and Itachi arrived together at Arata's home.
Since Arata had already revealed his space–time ability to Yuugao, he used the imprint he left at her house to send her back beforehand.
After days of rest, Shisui and Itachi looked refreshed and fully recovered.
Once they arrived, Arata brought them into his secret chamber.
After activating the barrier, he began sharing everything he knew about the Akatsuki.
The timeline was still early, so Arata wasn't certain of every member. He could only give them general warnings.
His main focus was on the immortal Hidan and the five-hearted Kakuzu...eccentric abilities that could easily take down even stronger shinobi who didn't understand their tricks.
Neither Shisui nor Itachi were surprised by the information. In their eyes, Arata....who possessed prophetic insight—knowing such things was entirely normal.
After finishing the briefing, Arata's expression turned serious.
"Shisui. Itachi. There is someone you must be especially cautious of: Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki. Behind him stands a man named Nagato—he possesses the Rinnegan.
If you encounter someone with those eyes, you may make brief contact, but do not engage for long.
If things turn dangerous, activate the dimensional imprint immediately and retreat."
Shisui finally showed shock.
"The legendary Rinnegan… it's truly appeared? Does Pain really wield the Sage of Six Paths' eyes?"
Arata nodded heavily.
"Yes. And his abilities are exceptionally strange. If something feels wrong, escape immediately."
Shisui understood the gravity of the situation and nodded with solemn determination.
Seeing everything settled, Arata turned to Itachi with a smile.
"Itachi, come closer. I have something to give you.....something that will keep you alive."
Shisui immediately took a step forward, concern evident. He knew exactly what Arata intended.
"Arata… Izanagi is a forbidden technique. Using it too often will harm your body."
Arata waved casually.
"It's fine. A few days of training and I'll recover.
You and Itachi are pillars of the Uchiha clan; losing either of you would be a tragedy. Besides, Izanagi doesn't damage me that much. I recover quickly."
Shisui wanted to object, but he knew Arata was right. He sighed and stepped aside.
When Shisui stepped forward to stop Uchiha Arata, Itachi immediately halted as well.
He listened quietly as the two argued....and when he heard them mention Izanagi, his pupils shrank sharply.
As the heir to the clan leader, Itachi had long heard of Izanagi's fearsome reputation. He even knew the method of casting it. But the price was too heavy.
The Uchiha, famed for their Sharingan, would never willingly use a technique that destroyed their own future potential unless absolutely necessary.
After Shisui stepped aside, giving Itachi a clear path to Arata, Itachi hesitated for a moment before stepping forward.
Though he normally spoke little, he couldn't hold back now.
"Arata-nii… does using Izanagi truly not cost you much? Maybe you shouldn't cast it on me.
And as the strongest among the Uchiha, you shouldn't weaken your own battle strength."
