"Transcription Seal!"
As Retsu injected a massive amount of Ocular power into Naraku's body, the same Mangekyo Sharingan pattern as his own instantly emerged in Naraku's pupils. The pattern spun rapidly for a moment before quietly vanishing, as if sinking into an abyss.
"Done!" Retsu withdrew his finger and let out a long sigh of relief.
The Transcription Seal for this Ocular Jutsu was extremely difficult, nearly exhausting more than half of his Ocular power.
Fortunately, he was currently in an Edo Tensei body. Although it limited his strength, he didn't have to worry too much about consumption, and the Mangekyo Sharingan's Ocular power recovered very quickly.
"How is it?" Seeing him stop and step aside, Kikyo hurried over and asked, her tone unable to hide her tension.
Retsu turned to look at her, nodded, and said, "It's fine, everything is ready. Once my Ocular power and Chakra recover, I'll start preparing for the resurrection."
"Kikyo! Retsu! What on earth are you two up to?!"
Just then, Inuyasha's voice suddenly came over. Retsu turned to look and saw Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and the others all gathered around, but they were blocked by a transparent Barrier and could only stand a few meters away, watching them.
"Did you create this Barrier?" Retsu looked at Kikyo in surprise, seeing the small Barrier enveloping him, Kikyo, and Naraku.
"Yes." Kikyo nodded, her expression calm. "I was worried the resurrection might be interrupted, so I set up a Barrier around us."
Hearing this, Retsu praised, "You're quite thoughtful, preventing them from disturbing us."
While Retsu and Kikyo were talking, Inuyasha and the others blocked outside the Barrier were also watching them anxiously, unsure of what they were trying to do.
Just as Inuyasha was once again repelled by the Barrier, Miroku suddenly spoke up, "Inuyasha, don't waste your energy. You should be able to hear what they're saying, right?"
Hearing Miroku's words, Kagome, Sango, and Shippō all looked at Inuyasha. This Barrier only blocked them from entering and didn't block sound. At such a close distance, with Inuyasha's demon ears, he could still hear what they were saying.
"They... they seem to be talking about resurrection..." Inuyasha was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and pricked up his ears.
At this moment, the conversation between Retsu and Kikyo clearly reached his ears.
"They... they're talking about 'resurrection'?" Inuyasha's face was full of disbelief. "Kikyo just said this Barrier is to prevent them from being disturbed during the resurrection."
"Resurrection?!" Kagome, Sango, and Shippō exclaimed at the same time, their faces filled with shock.
"Miss Kikyo has been dead for fifty years, hasn't she?" Miroku said in surprise.
"Yes, Retsu also said he's a 'dead man'," Kagome added.
"Are these two trying to use the shikon jewel to resurrect?" Sango stared intently at the situation inside the Barrier; she remembered her younger brother Kohaku was resurrected by Naraku using the shikon jewel.
"Probably not. They have many shards of the shikon jewel. If they wanted to rely on the shikon jewel for resurrection, they would have used it long ago." Kagome shook her head.
"Then what's going on with Naraku? Why hasn't Kikyo killed him?" Inuyasha stared at the motionless Naraku, feeling a bit frustrated. This was his first chance to kill Naraku, but he was blocked by Kikyo's Barrier.
"We can't get into the Barrier, so we can only watch now." Miroku sighed and sat cross-legged by the Barrier.
His body, which had been eroded by the evil energy before, hadn't fully recovered and was still throbbing with pain.
