In the unknown room…Currently, Kirito is standing on the water and looking at the old man in front of him with an instance gaze because whatever he heard from the old man went over his head.
"So you are my great, great grandfather? " Kirito asked with a not so sure tone.
"Yes, I Uzumaki Ichizoku is indeed your Great Great Grandfather. " Ichizoku replied with a smile and gave a small nod toward Kirito.
"I don"t believe you are Uzumaki Ichizoku because he was even older than Hashirama Senju," Kirito said while shaking his head.
"What does that have to do with anything? " Ichizoku asked with a curious tone
"If you are really him then how are you even alive even after all this time? " Kirito asked with a serious tone.
"oh that you see I am really not alive. " Ichizoku replied with a nod and smiled at Kirito mysteriously.
"What do you mean you aren"t alive??? " This really made Kirito surprised then he looked at Ichizoku with a serious face and asked "Do you mean to say you are dead? "
"Indeed now you get what I wanted to tell you. " Ichizoku said with an excited smile and gave a small clap then added " You might not be believing me but come closer. "
Hearing that Kirito approached the old man witha doubting face and asked when he is right in front of the Ichizoku "What now? "
"Here try to touch me. " Ichizoku replied with a smile.
As Kirito tried to hold the hand of Ichizoku his hand pa.s.sed right through as he asked surprised " Why can"t I touch you? "
"That is because I am not here but a small part of the soul is here and when you used your blood on the seal, it started to consume your Chakra to start the trail for my inheritance after confirming that you are an Uzumaki. " Ichizoku said suddenly getting serious because of the importance in this matter.
"What trail can you explain, please? " Kirito asked getting interested because if the old man really is Ichiraku Uzumaki then he is one of the strongest shin.o.bies from his time.
"In this trial, you will need to clear some steps and with every success, you will learn new techniques and the first one is going to a tricky one but when you started the trail I will tell you what you need to do. " Ichizoku said with a serious tone.
"So what should I do now? " Kirito asked with a serious face because he felt he might get stronger if he successfully completed this trail.
"Be wear if you fail only death awaits you and the 2nd thing is that you are not allowed to quit. " Ichizoku said as the surrounding started getting dark.
"What are you doing old man? " Kirito asked with a serious tone while losing his sight.
"Good luck kid, I will explain everything when you arrive at the trial ground. " Ichizoku said as Kirito falls on the water and started drowning.

The same time Kirito meets Uzumaki Ichizoku Kyuubi also discovered something strange around itself.
"It"s been a long time Kuromi. " Suddenly a voice came inside Kyuubi"s ears.
"Who are you? " Kyuubi asked releasing its chakra in this weird place and looked vigilant.
"Don"t tell me you have already forgotten about me so quickly after helping that old man and Hashirama along with that host of yours to seal me here in this land??? " All of a sudden a Snake dragon twice the size of Kyuubi appeared from underwater.
"No, it"s impossible how can I be here but, but…"
