'This test would have been useful if I went through it before going to the eternal chamber since it could have helped develop future sight faster, but now I already have it and going through this trial is just a piece of cake for me' thought Bakorio as he instantly used future sight and dodged all attacks sent his way without any problems, and before long, the door of the chamber opened and a dog told him with an astonished look on its face that he passed the test and that he should wait for one of the sages to be back to teach him…
Finding himself with nothing to do, Bakorio used his Byakugan to try and see what was happening with Kakashi but he couldn't see anything 'Surprisingly their seals are so advanced to the point that they can block the Byakugan's ability to see through things' thought Bakorio in amazement before he went back near hell's gate and tried to use his Byakugan on the portal.
But just as before, his vision couldn't pass through the barrier and this time instead of getting blocked, it got completely distorted making him feel nauseated instead…
'What about the eye of truth, would be able to see through these things?' thought Bakorio and he immediately put it to the test! His eyes of truth were extremely hard to level up and currently, it was only level 10, unlike his Byakugan which already reached level 100 during the past few months (in real-world time)…
Bakorio's vision suddenly turned completely still, and he started seeing a river of red energy coming from the portal to hell, and another river of natural energy getting absorbed by the portal 'This portal appears to be using the natural energy in the air to power up its functions… was it just a coincidence for it to be placed here in such a sacred ground that's rich in natural energy? Or was it intentional?' Bakorio's eyes narrowed slightly before his gaze shifted into the portal and tried to see through it and this time he succeeded!
He saw a vast desolate land with terrifying and destructive weather… Hell flames raged on some places, Hell's ice storms engulfed others and all kinds of disastrous phenomena occurred… However, in spite of all this chaos, there was a palace standing firmly on top of a black mountain that resembled the Osore mountain chain, and behind that palace was a huge king of hell, the same one that a Rinnegan user can summon through their Naraka path!
However, different from just the head that the user of the Rinnegan can summon, this one here was the full body and it was huge, at least 30 meters tall, and its eyes weren't controlled by the Rinnegan, instead he was sitting silently behind the palace inside a huge open hall with banners around him that had the world 'Judgement' written on it.
Currently, Uwabami was feeding it the souls of some of the people that died and they were slowly getting brought back to life thanks to the king of hell's ability…
This was a being born naturally from hell to oversee it, just like how the death reaper was born from the pure lands to oversee the dead…
"He's actually reviving those devils? Did they have some parts of their souls stored here… Sneaky bastards" thought Bakorio before he turned his attention to the palace and noticed that it was empty with only one woman inside it and she was having a bath in a pitch-black pool that was bubbling from time to time and gave him a chilling sensation…
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
'Who's this woman?' thought Bakorio but suddenly, the woman stared in his direction and smiled faintly before moving her lips and Bakorio could understand what she said 'Peeping isn't nice' before her red eyes suddenly shined with a terrifying light and Bakorio felt as if his head was about to break apart as he felt a strong tug on his very soul!
"UGGHHH" He suddenly fell to the floor while holding his head but he quickly cast recovery on himself and chugged down a health potion before he felt the pain weakening slightly…
"What was that ability…" Bakorio felt as if his very soul was punched directly and almost got destroyed in the process, and if not for it being tempered by nature's energy multiple times from the different sage arts. He would have probably died right now…
"If my guess is correct, that woman is truly terrifying… I need to find a way to protect myself from these kinds of attacks in the future" muttered Bakorio before he stood up and Shiroinu who noticed what happened to him quickly rushed to his side and helped him up "Are you okay Bakorio-kun?"
"Mmm, I'm fine, it's just a backlash from using my previous power…" He lied…
"You can go rest if you want in our living grounds…" said Shiroinu with a worried look on her face but Bakorio simply shook his head as he thought 'How can I rest with such a being existing in the world…'
"I'm okay, can I start learning sage arts?"
Shiroinu stared at him silently before she nodded and said "Follow me, training our sage arts is a bit tricky…"

Meanwhile, inside of hell, Amatsu had an intrigued look on her face as she muttered "Ohh, how surprising, he actually survived that attack and he's already back on his feet, this kid is indeed not simple… but now is not the time to make our move, our master's plan comes first"
Then she closed her eyes silently inside the pool, this pool was a natural treasure that naturally combined hell's energy with nature's energy… and the longer she stays inside of it, the stronger she becomes…

Back outside of hell, Bakorio spent the day learning the dog's sage arts from Shiroinu and Kuroinu that heavily relied on enhancing the senses and before long, a notification appeared in front of him
[Congratulations host, you learned dog sage arts]
[Dog sage arts level 1: Each level increases the user's strength and agility by 7 points]
Bakorio didn't care much about the increase in attributes, what he cared most about was the increase in his already incredible senses, and right now he could even 'feel' people even with his eyes closed!
"You are truly a great genius" said the hellhound sage as he approached Bakorio who just opened his eyes after completing his training
"Thanks for the compliment" replied Bakorio calmly before he asked "Is this the only reason you wanted to see me?"
"Those devils' actions were out of our expectations, we didn't even think that they had that much power, and it worries me to think just how much they are still hiding…"
Bakorio glanced at the three-headed dog in front of him and couldn't help but say "It's wise of you to worry, but the situation is beyond your control so you are simply wasting your time… I saw a little bit inside of hell with one of my abilities and I noticed that they could revive their own people…"
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Said the hound sage with a startled look on all of his heads but Bakorio simply shook his and said "I'm serious, this matter appears to be far more than what your tribe is capable of handling, I will see what I can do when I go back to the village…"
"If all the devils we killed throughout our stay here decided to attack at the same time… This world would be doomed!"
Bakorio nodded in agreement and remembering the terrifying aura of that woman, his mouth twitched slightly as he thought 'This world is probably already doomed even if we don't include the rest of the devils…'
