White Lotus was a formidable water-style user, while Uzumaki Ashina was a rare and powerful sealing technique specialist.
Right now, it was the perfect time to call upon the power of Uzumaki Ashina's sealing jutsu!
Especially since in the future, if Kushina faced anything she didn't understand, Takayama Haru would be able to guide her directly.
[Upon fusing with this card, the host will gain access to Uzumaki Ashina's complete arsenal of ninjutsu, sealing techniques, physical skills, combat experience, and training aptitude.]
[Estimated full integration time: 30 days.]
[Would you like to proceed with the fusion?]
[Fuse!]
After fully integrating the character card of Hashirama Senju, it was as if Haru had inherited all of Hashirama's immense power. Now, adding Uzumaki Ashina to that foundation, it meant Haru would possess the peak strength and talent of both the Senju and Uzumaki clans, including their unique bloodline limits!
Uzumaki Ashina—a legendary ninja from the same era as the First Hokage, renowned for his unparalleled sealing techniques. Even Hashirama himself had once been astonished by their might.
In a flash, a virtual space appeared in Haru's mind.
At its center stood a decayed but majestic silhouette: Uzumaki Ashina himself.
Haru's consciousness merged with Ashina's, as though he had become Ashina!
And standing before him was the Nine-Tails itself!
"Four-Headed Seal!"
"Eight Trigrams Seal!"
With Uzumaki Ashina's sealing techniques, the Nine-Tails was sealed into a young kunoichi named Juri.
That silhouette… looked somewhat familiar!
Haru snapped back to reality, feeling intimately familiar with all the sealing techniques flooding his mind. He could activate any of them on a whim.
With just a thought, he could seal a Tailed Beast.
That was the terrifying power of Uzumaki Ashina.
And this was only partial integration. Once complete, the results would be unimaginable!

Thanks to Uzumaki Ashina's enhancement, Four Symbols Seal and Reaper Death Seal jumped directly from Level 3 to Level 9!
Haru only took a quick glance before rushing full speed to Training Ground No. 4.
"Who dares run wild in the village?!"
Haru ignored them and sprinted ahead at full force.
In the night sky, even high-ranking Jonin could only catch a blur as he passed.
…
Soon, Haru arrived at the entrance of Training Ground No. 4.
The entire area was surrounded by a formation of ninja—nothing could enter, not even a mosquito.
He could see the Four Violet Flames Formation still active inside!
Within the barrier, the massive twin-tailed beast was suppressing the half-transformed Tailed Beast Mode of Uzumaki Mito!
Danzo had said he needed Mito to strengthen the seal, but now Nibi had already broken through—why was Mito fighting alone?
Where was Danzo?!
Why were the surrounding ninja just standing guard, not helping?
"Who's there?! This is administrative business—unauthorized personnel must leave!"
Aside from the ANBU, Konoha's largest ninja divisions were the Administrative Department and the Police Force.
The Police had always belonged to the Uchiha clan, while the Administrative Department was a joint effort between major families, including the Shunyu and Mito clans. Many of these guarding ninja were from those families.
"Administrative business? Get lost!"
Seeing the Nine-Tails and Two-Tails together at the training ground's center, Haru felt a wave of dread rise in his heart.
The Nine-Tails had grown eight tails, completely transformed—it no longer resembled Mito at all. It looked just like a full Tailed Beast!
"Kushina… Grandma Mito… please be alright!"
Haru charged forward.
A squad of elite ninja moved to block him.
"Can't you see this is an official operation? No outsiders allowed!"
Haru roared, "If you value your lives—move!"
As soon as he shouted, the elite Jonin in front of him broke out in a cold sweat.
Haru had activated Sage Mode.
His sudden burst of natural chakra was visibly menacing—the killing intent radiating from him made even hardened warriors tremble.
The administrative ninja dropped to their knees under the pressure.
Some older Jonin began to shake—they recognized it instantly: the Sage Mode of the God of Shinobi!
This… this was the reincarnation of Hashirama Senju!
