131: Hizashi: I will never give you my daughter.
“It all started when I was 4 years old. The day after I was branded by the caged bird seal, I woke up with my previous life's mories. At first, I was in disbelief; after all, we both knew that our souls are quite special. With my death, I thought I would only be able to reincarnate through chakra, like big brothers Ashura and Indra. I even suspected that I sohow possessed this body that had inherited my chakra.
But as ti went by, I slowly realized that my soul had sohow miraculously reincarnated into this body. And the reason why mories were awoken at the age of 4 is because of the huge ntal strain I went through during the process where they placed the caged bird seal on .
I speculated that the trauma may have stimulated my soul, which awoke the dormant mories“. Hinami said, making Izanami squint her eyes.
Although what Hinami said was very logical, Izanami felt things were not that simple. It is because after she took over her post as the ruler of the Pure Lands, she had tried to search for Hinami’s soul.
You know, at that ti, it was only about a few decades after Hinami’s death, so Izanami had very high hopes of finding her soul. But unfortunately, no matter how hard she searched, she didn’t find any clues at all.
So, after months of fruitless searching, Izanami had to face the cruel truth that Hinami’s soul had passed through the cycle of reincarnation.
But now Hinami was saying that her soul had reincarnated into another body with her mories intact. This is absurd, as Izanami knew that when a soul reincarnates, their souls would be cleansed and all their mories, karma, and fates would be washed away and their souls would turn into blank souls, which would then enter the cycle of reincarnation.
For a soul to skip these steps and directly enter the reincarnation cycle is impossible. This is the absolute law that had placed. But then again, there are many loopholes to this rule.
As we all know, Izanami sotis sends so of the worst sinners to beco Orochimaru’s test subjects. And to do this, Izanami uses a loophole.
Joy’s rule is that no soul could reincarnate with their mories and karma intact. So what Izanami does is she identifies those poor victims who have the fate to die a grueso death and selects the most unfortunate and innocent ones. Then she uses her authority over death and swaps the souls of these guys with those sinners.
This way, those sinners would receive the appropriate punishnt at Orochimaru’s hands, and those innocents would be spared the unnecessary misery.
This thod is quite useful, as the sinners would go through enough torture and have their attachnts broken and could go through the cycle of reincarnation. And those innocents would also be able to easily move on, as they didn’t go through the traumatic experience.
Of course, Izanami wouldn’t dare to use this thod frequently. After all, no matter what, swapping souls is directly ddling with the cycle of life. And Izanami only used this thod to torture so serious sinners who had lived in the Pure Land for a long ti and refused to move on.
In addition to this, she also found another loophole, but that thod is quite similar to the first thod. Wait a minute, maybe whoever reincarnated her used this thod.
The second thod Izanami was thinking of is the thod she used to save Kaguya, Sakumo, Rin, and finally Yahiko. What she did was to directly stuff them into their souls before they died, into animals that represent them.
Maybe whoever reincarnated Hinami used this thod to stuff her soul into this body that is very suitable for her.
“Hey Izanami, why are you in such a daze? “ Suddenly, Hinami pinched Izanami’s face, bringing her out of her thoughts.
“It’s nothing; I was just thinking how your situation is quite different from Kiyomi’s. “ Izanami lied as she smiled. Izanami’s gut is telling her this matter is very fishy and should be investigated very thoroughly and slowly. And she had no intention of speaking about this to Hinami.
Her role as the guardian of the pure land is not sothing Izanami could tell to everyone. Even if it was Hinami herself. At least not now, just when they have reunited.
“Oh, Kiyomi had also reincarnated. “ Hinami asked in surprise. She didn’t expect that. “Wait, is Kiyomi reincarnated as the daughter of the Uchiha clan leader? “ she asked as she suddenly rembered a woman who is a bit older than her but seems to have little presence in the village despite being a clan leader’s daughter.
“Yes, that’s her. I t Kiyomi when I just ca here a year ago. According to her, Kiyomi retained her mories since birth. Although, frankly speaking, it’s quite ironic since her little brother is actually Indra’s reincarnation. Don’t tell her I said this, but I’m sure Kiyomi is enjoying her new life very much. After all, in her past life, she was always annoyed by Indra’s coldness. Now she is disciplining him as much as she wants, “ Izanami said with a grin.
“Oh, I could already imagine her face.” A similar grin also appeared on Hinami’s face. Due to the two of them staying with each other for a long ti, Izanami’s bad habits had already been shared with Hinami.
Like this, the two of them began to have so small talk. Both of them had many things they wanted to tell each other.
“Wait, you are telling that in this life, you are the eldest daughter of the previous branch family head, Hizashi?” Izanami asked with a weird expression on her face.
“Yeah, although I didn’t spend much ti with him but I really respect him. Thinking about it now, he is very similar to my brother“. Hinami nodded, failing to notice Izanami was not paying attention to her.
‘Damn, doesn’t this an Hizashi is my father-in-law? Shit, he won’t take it out on for ignoring him after letting him stay in Japan, right? No, he won’t be that petty, right? Maybe I should arrange for him to get the best VIP treatnt after I go back to Japan. That way, in the future, if he tried to object to my marriage, I could run away with Hinami with peace of mind. Yeah, let’s do that. Izanami thought with determination.
She was getting Hinami one way or another. And there is nothing Hizashi could do about it. Hmm, speaking of which, she should also take care of her brother-in-law just to be safe.
Speaking of which,
“Hey Hinami, why are you not out of that stupid seal? With your sealing knowledge, I’m sure this flimsy cage bird seal is not a big deal, right? “ Izanami asked curiously. When it ca to sealing arts, Hinami was definitely grandmaster level. So the caged bird seal shouldn’t be too hard for her to unseal.
“ Well, “ a bit of embarrassnt appeared on Hinami’s face, making Izanami more curious. Is that sha she saw in Hinami’s eyes?
“Wait, are you still missing so of your mories? “ Izanami asked with a bit of panic. She was very scared that Hinami might have so gaps in her mory. This is a clear symptom of soul damage.
Although Izanami had not seen any souls getting damaged after reincarnation, the possibility is still there. Especially with Hinam, I who had reincarnated with her mories.
“What? No, my mory is perfectly fine. “ Hinami explained in a hurry as she saw Izanami’s worried face.
“Phew, that’s good, “ Izanami breathed a sigh of relief, hearing this. If it were soul damage, then things would have gotten very ugly.
“So if there aren’t any gaps with your mories, why did you not free yourself? “ Izanami asked the question once again.
“Well, “ after hesitating for a while, Hinami sighed heavily and spoke with a complicated expression. “Well, the reason why I couldn’t break out of this seal is because…
