Retsu held a struggling rabbit in his hand, his fingertips carefully controlling the flow of Chakra, slowly infusing it into the rabbit's body.
At this moment, he was researching exactly how the Six Paths Sage had distributed Chakra to others back then.
"Is it really only possible by mastering the Six Paths Power?" Retsu irritably tossed the rabbit in his hand onto the ground.

Seeing the rabbit trying to flee in terror, his eyes shifted, and several thin branches instantly sprouted from the ground, tightly binding the rabbit's limbs and rendering it immobile.
"I gave you a chance, but you're useless; I'll roast and eat you in a while," Retsu said fiercely to the struggling rabbit on the ground, his tone full of the frustration of a failed experiment.
"Failed again?" Just then, Kikyo's voice came from the side.
As she walked over, she saw the rabbit tied up by branches and still struggling, and asked in a calm tone.
"Yeah." Retsu sighed with a hint of helplessness, "After the Chakra is infused into the rabbit's body, besides temporarily making it a bit stronger, it has no other effect. There's no sign of Chakra being produced within its body at all. Once the infused Chakra is consumed, it returns to its original state."
He turned to look at Kikyo beside him, his gaze sweeping over the bow and arrows on her back. He raised an eyebrow and asked casually, "Is someone looking for you to exorcise a demon?"
"Yes." Kikyo nodded slightly and looked at him, saying, "Come, you're coming with me this time."
"What's wrong? Is that demon very strong?" Retsu asked in surprise upon hearing Kikyo ask him to go along.
You see, since they had settled in this shrine, the surrounding villagers had gradually started coming to their door, either seeking Kikyo to exorcise demons or asking her to treat illnesses.
At first, Retsu had been somewhat curious and followed Kikyo every time, but later he discovered that those so-called 'demons' were almost all small monsters transformed from things like rats, lizards, and toads.
Every time, he would follow Kikyo, riding Kuro Maru, and then watch helplessly as Kikyo finished off the demon with a single arrow before returning with her.
He couldn't get involved at all during the process, so eventually, Kikyo started handling such trivial matters by herself.
He really didn't expect that Kikyo would specifically call him to come along today.
"Some nearby villagers said that the men from their Village who went into the mountains haven't returned, and it's highly likely they were taken by a demon," Kikyo said as she raised her hand to summon her Shikigami, Kuro Maru, her palm gently stroking the top of Kuro Maru's head.
Retsu watched Kikyo vault onto Kuro Maru's back and climbed on after her. Hearing her words, he asked with a hint of surprise, "The men who went up the mountain are all gone? Only the men?"
"Yes." As Kuro Maru galloped along the path with the two of them, Kikyo spoke against the wind, "I suspect this demon only targets men, which is why I called you. If I went alone, I'm worried I might not be able to find the demon smoothly."
