At this point, Yahiko paused for a moment. Upon hearing Yahiko's words, the faces of all those about to face the assessment turned serious.
Despite the numerous challenges posed by the Sea Spirits, there were still nearly ten thousand people who managed to reach Ogami Island.
However, Ogami only intended to recruit one hundred people to join.
In other words, among this group, only one out of every hundred would succeed, and almost everyone else would be eliminated.
Truly living up to the phrase "finding a needle in the sea." But in response, countless people breathed a sigh of relief.
Because Yahiko had said that the upcoming assessment had nothing to do with their strength level.
This meant they still had a chance. If the evaluation was based solely on cultivation, then there would be no point in them persevering.
At this moment, determination shone in everyone's eyes. Having overcome countless hardships to arrive here, everyone possessed strong willpower.
Not a single person believed themselves to be inferior to others. Yahiko took a breath and continued,
"Therefore, to ensure the fairness of the assessment, we will temporarily seal your chakra. We hope you can understand."
"Of course, if you are unwilling to accept this, we will escort you out of Ogami without forcing you."
"Now, please make your decision. If you are unwilling, please step aside and make your choice known."
With that, Yahiko's gaze fixed firmly on the countless crowd before him, awaiting their decision.
However, because there were simply too many people, Yahiko couldn't possibly see them all.
Therefore, others from Ogami also stared intently at the crowd. Several minutes passed, and the scene remained silent.
No one moved, and no one voiced their intention to give up.
The entire scene was filled only with the heavy sound of breathing, with hardly any other noise. Having come this far, no one would choose to give up.
Although the idea of sealing their chakra was difficult for many to accept, it was not entirely unacceptable.
After all, Ogami couldn't afford to wait for them to have their chakra sealed before taking action against them.
To put it bluntly, with the summoning beasts nearby, Ogami's people didn't even need to lift a finger.
Aside from a few top experts, none of these individuals stood a chance of escaping.
Seeing that no one showed signs of backing down, Yahiko spoke again, "Since you've all chosen to continue, please relax and do not resist."
After saying this, Yahiko turned to Nagato, Konan, and Kushina, and spoke softly:
"You've worked hard. It's up to you next." The three of them were highly skilled in sealing techniques.
Nagato and Kushina, being descendants of the Uzumaki clan, naturally excelled in sealing techniques.
Konan's Paper Jutsu also required a great deal of knowledge in sealing techniques, making her proficiency in sealing arts top-notch as well.
Of course, another master of sealing arts was Minato Namikaze.
After all, mastering the Flying Thunder God technique also required mastery in sealing techniques.
However, despite Minato's mastery in sealing arts, he wasn't suited for this mission. It simply didn't match his style.
With so many people here, he'd likely exhaust himself if he participated. If it were a single-target sealing, Minato would indeed be an excellent choice.
In response to Yahiko's words, Nagato, Konan, and Kushina smiled softly, assured him it was okay, and then instantly erupted with intense chakra fluctuations.
Sealing techniques were not like fighting; sealing thousands of people at once required their full effort.
So, they had already begun absorbing natural energy. At Yahiko's command, the three instantly entered Sage Mode.
Kushina, after entering Sage Mode, once again entered the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
As Kushina transformed into her golden form, Nagato and Konan ascended into the air. The three exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
Instantly, behind Nagato and Kushina, numerous gigantic sealing chains emerged - the Adamantine Sealing Chains unique to the Uzumaki clan.
As a fellow descendant of the Uzumaki clan, Kushina didn't hold back.
She had already copied all the sealing knowledge of the Uzumaki clan and passed it to Nagato long ago.
With the two of them unleashing the Adamantine Sealing Chains, their chains continued to extend rapidly.
Soon, the coverage area of these chains surpassed two-thirds of the area where everyone was located.
Meanwhile, Konan wasn't idle either. As Nagato and Kushina took action, she quickly sent out countless paper sheets from her body.
A large number of paper sheets swiftly flew towards those who were not covered by the chains.
As the paper sheets accurately adhered to each person and then burst into pure chakra before returning to Konan's cuffs.
The chains in mid-air quickly ruptured into clusters of light dots, penetrating the bodies of each person.
The next moment, everyone felt no chakra within them, just like before they had ever trained.
Of course, this didn't apply to ordinary people since they had never sensed chakra to begin with.
Despite some being mentally prepared, there were still some who instinctively resisted when the moment arrived.
However, it was futile. Their resistance, under the powerful sealing of Nagato, Konan, and Kushina, didn't even cause a ripple.
Such a grand display filled everyone's hearts with awe, including Hanzo and Orochimaru.
The vast scope of the jutsu, maintaining such power, was beyond their imagination.
If these three unleashed individual attacks, it would be terrifying. Hanzo and Orochimaru both knew the trio was formidable.
After all, during the Third Great Ninja War, they were already top-tier combatants of their village.
However, in these three years, they hadn't witnessed the strength of Ogami's members.
Typically, at this level, even slight improvements were challenging.
But these people from Ogami were entirely different; in three years of silence, their strength had advanced to another level.
Both of them flashed a hint of delight in their eyes.
They didn't feel jealous because the stronger Ogami's members became, the more it would prove their speculations and choices were correct.
After completing the task, Nagato, Konan, and Kushina all nodded to Yahiko.
Seeing this, Yahiko understood everything was going smoothly.
Therefore, he quickly activated his chakra to ensure his voice could clearly reach everyone's ears amidst the shocked and buzzing crowd.
