Reiji smiled with an indescribable grin, turning to face Keito and the members of the Uzumaki Clan who were still standing on the beach, observing everything with a sense of astonishment.

What had happened? A question that surely shook many minds.
Not just confusion, but also wonder and fear.
What had actually occurred? What did all of this mean?
All of it happened because of the Sealing Technique of the Illusory Sea Region.
This sealing technique was not the result of coincidence, but rather the product of deep thought and the genius of a man who had lived more than once.
A man who, despite being young, bore a heavy burden on his shoulders—Reiji.
Recalling all of this, let us return to a few years ago, specifically in the first month after the turn of the year.
At that time, Reiji was not yet seven years old.
It is truly ironic that a boy so young was already thinking of ways to protect the entire world around him.
(Author's Note: This takes place around Chapter 60)
At that time, although Reiji was still very young, he had already begun to contemplate many things about the future, about how he could protect the Spiral Island and the Uzumaki Clan from all threats.
In the silence of the night, far from the crowds, under a star-filled sky, Reiji sat in contemplation, pondering a future filled with uncertainty.
A growing awareness weighed on Reiji: this world is so vast, and many dangers lurk in every corner.
In Reiji's mind, ideas began to swirl.
The Protective Island Sealing Technique and the Village Protective Sealing Technique—two great techniques that Reiji knew would require countless hours to create.
Although Reiji was confident he could achieve it, he also knew very well that time was not something he could easily possess.
Many factors had to be considered—the creation of seals, the structure of the seal locations, and many other technical aspects.
All of this required a lot of resources, effort, and a long time.
However, as despair began to creep into Reiji's thoughts, something suddenly emerged in his mind.
An idea. A technique that might be realized more quickly, yet still be effective.
That is why Reiji ultimately chose to create something different—something more practical yet still extraordinary.
A new Sealing Technique, which Reiji called the Sealing Technique of the Illusory Sea Region.
Although complex and requiring a considerable amount of time to perfect, this technique was easier for Reiji to understand.
Given his experience in his previous life as the Strongest Shaman on Earth, illusions were not foreign to Reiji.
In the world where Reiji was born before, illusions were weapons often used for various purposes—from mind control to emotional manipulation.
Reiji was accustomed to the power that could create another world within someone's mind, making this concept very close to his heart.
Illusions were not just tools to deceive the senses; they were a way to delve into and shake the deepest feelings, to penetrate the boundaries of consciousness.
With that understanding, Reiji began to design a Sealing Technique that would change the way people viewed the world.
A technique that allowed them to experience "death," even though their bodies remained intact in the real world.
That is what Reiji called the Illusory Sea Region.
This technique was not just an ordinary illusion.
Reiji created Pseudo-Death, a genjutsu that not only deceived the senses but also buried the soul.
Anyone trapped within it would feel every detail of their death—from the bone-piercing pain, the blood flowing from invisible wounds, to the breath that gradually ceased, slowly.
All that suffering felt so real, so intense, that even their consciousness began to tremble.
But it was just an illusion.
No one was truly hurt.
No one was truly dead.
