At the moment Akio collapsed, his mind was in complete disarray.
While to Hashirama and the others, it was completely normal for Akio to fall at this time, he himself knew that all that talk about overdrawing his life force was complete nonsense...
"Could it be... I just stood up too fast and got dizzy?" This was his last thought before losing consciousness.
After Akio collapsed, his three disciples burst into uncontrollable sobs.
Hashirama choked up, "Second Grandfather, may you rest in peace. I will never forget your contributions to the Senju Clan!"
Tobirama, his face full of sorrow, took two steps forward and examined Akio carefully. A strange expression crossed his face.
"Big Brother..."
Hashirama ignored him, continuing his soliloquy.
"Big Brother! Stop crying! Second Grandfather is still alive. His breathing is stable... he's just asleep."
"Huh?" Hashirama lifted his head, stunned.
"Really?" The three disciples were overjoyed.
Deep within Akio's consciousness.
Akio found himself in a place that was both familiar and foreign.
"This is... the Uzumaki Clan's territory? The location is correct, but since when did these buildings become so old-fashioned, and in black and white too? And the clan land... it's huge! Did the population increase again?"
Then, he witnessed a massive war. He couldn't hear any sounds, nor see any faces clearly—only black and white silhouettes clashing in battle.
In that monochrome battlefield, countless figures fell while others charged forward. Two apparent leaders fought intensely until the one at a disadvantage suddenly pulled out a "disc." After a few movements, both of them were sucked into the "disc," and the battle finally ended, leaving only a wasteland of ruins.
"A disc? That's a mask, isn't it..." Akio murmured, looking helpless.
"So breaking the Shiki FÅ«jin only gave me 2 Witness Points? Turns out you were behind this, Death God..."
"Is this some kind of Hokage-version soul takeover?" Akio sighed and shook his head but surprisingly felt more relaxed.
Countless predecessors of other transmigrators had told Akio that a transmigrator's soul strength was twice that of a normal person, and Akio had firmly believed it.
The black-and-white scene shattered, leaving behind what felt like an infinite space. Within it, only two figures remained—or rather, two souls.
"Should I say, as expected of the Death God? In just two years, you've gone from a weak wisp of a soul to a humanoid form. But me... What the hell?! Why am I a stick figure?!"
Akio looked down and was utterly shocked—his arms and legs were thin like matchsticks, making him look exactly like a stick figure.
The Death God lunged at him instinctively, and Akio turned and ran.
"Damn it, is this what they meant by soul strength being twice as strong?! Senior transmigrators, you've screwed me over!" Akio cursed while running, feeling utterly wronged.
"Fine... I can only rely on myself. This is my soul space, so I should be able to control it, right?" For some reason, the first thing that came to Akio's mind at this moment was a stick-figure battle video from his past life.
"Grant me strength, League of Legends! Let me channel the power of Leona!"
As he thought this, a sword and shield actually materialized in his hands.
Overjoyed, Akio steadied himself, turned to face the Death God, and roared, "Prepare to die! Zenith Blade!"
Five minutes later...
A one-armed stick figure sprinted across the endless void.
The difference in power was too vast—Akio's sword strikes barely fazed the Death God. In the end, he had no choice but to bite a chunk out of the Death God's soul to escape.
Looking back at the relentless pursuer, Akio's face was full of grievance. "This is too much! Even Madara didn't bully me like this..."
"To hell with relying on myself! System, come out and save me!"

"Yin Affinity at LV-1? Is it because I lost an arm?"
But it was a blessing in disguise—Yin Affinity finally appeared in his status. Without hesitation, Akio allocated all his Witness Points to Yin Affinity.
Yin Affinity:
LV6 (409,000/600,000) (+)
His stick-figure arm regenerated, feeling as if someone was inflating it. His soul rapidly solidified.
When the transformation was complete, Akio looked up and found the Death God right before him. On instinct, he reached out—and the Death God was pinned to the ground, struggling desperately but unable to resist.
Akio finally had time to examine his soul. Instead of turning into a giant, he now perfectly resembled his real self, even in strength.
"So, a Level 6 soul is already this solid? Does that mean at Level 9 or 10, I can manifest like the Sage of Six Paths?" He shook his head. "Not that I plan on dying."
Looking at the writhing Death God, he smirked. "If this were decades later and you were strong enough to absorb the Nine-Tails, I wouldn't be able to do anything..."
"But right now..."
With a flurry of strikes, he shattered the Death God into fragments, which then absorbed into his body, further solidifying his soul.
Yin Affinity:
LV6 (510,000/600,000) (+)
"Nice, that's about 10 Witness Points gained..."
As Akio pondered, his soul world faded. Back in reality, he opened his eyes.
"Second Grandfather, you're finally awake." A gentle voice greeted him.
Of all the people Akio expected to see first, he never imagined it would be Mito.
Oh, and also the now eight-year-old brat, Senju Kenji.
