"In addition to reading minds, this mask seems to have some other functions." Sōseki gently stroked the side of the mask with his fingertips, and he whispered softly while feeling the simple texture of the mask.

He turned around and walked in front of a bandit, put his right hand on top of the other party's head, and then pull it gently, as if pulling a fishing line, to remove the bandit's soul from his body.

"This is part of the Shinigami's ability." Looking at the soul in his hand, Sōseki nodded slightly, as this is not something he can do with Spirit Transformation Technique at present.

"From a formal point of view, this part of the ability seems to be closer to Rinnegan's Human Path, but it is more delicate than Human Path, and the extracted soul is more complete."

"In addition to the most basic reading memory, it can also be used as a material for soul fusion."

"Speaking of which, the Shinigami, which I summoned for the second time, seems to be a bit stronger than before. It should have absorbed the power of the few souls that were sacrificed."

It is not devouring, but absorbing, just like a certain fox who is required to pay rent regularly.

Otherwise, Minato's soul would not have been eaten for more than ten years and still be intact.

" t's called the Shinigami, but it doesn't even have the ability to devour souls, and even the results of its hard work can be easily stolen by capitalists like Orochimaru and me. If this is the real Shinigami, it would be too miserable!"

Sōseki calmly analyzed, "If I'm not wrong, the back door to remove the Dead Demon Consuming Seal should be left by the "Shinigami" on purpose, or, in other words, it was specially reserved for the Uzumaki Clan!"

In Sōseki's view, it is because Uzumaki Clan's physique is too attractive. Even with the powerful Fūinjutsu, it is still difficult to dispel the enemy's coveting.

Therefore, some powerful Uzumaki clansmen developed the Dead Demon Consuming Seal based on themselves.

To make them become the Shinigami themselves and when their clansmen encountered an enemy that is difficult to deal with, they will give a direct warning to the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, and every time they use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, the Shinigami can become stronger.

And the purpose of this backdoor is to liberate the soul of the clansmen who used this technique among them.

It is precisely because of this that this technique does not use such a bad method as devouring and fusing souls.

'Just piling up the number of souls can create a Shinigami that make the Kyūbi unable to resist, that is to say, fusing souls and obtaining higher-quality souls may become a new way of becoming stronger... or even use these souls as materials to create a Hōgyoku belonging to this world?'

But after thinking about it carefully, Sōseki had to let go of this tempting idea for now.

The soul quality of an ordinary person is too weak. If it is used as a fusion material, it is like a high-rise building made of poor-quality cement. It may collapse with just some external force.

But the soul of the expert is not so easy to get. It's okay to quietly kill one or two. However, if he is hunting the experts on a large scale, there is no way the Sage of Six Paths in the Pure Land is blind, right?

The Sage of Six Paths sitting in the pure land should be the most sensitive to the destination of these souls.

Just by looking at how easily he can easily summon the souls of the Kage of the past, his ability to control the Pure Land can be seen.

"It's really troublesome, the gap between Shinobi and Ōtsutsuki is too big. Even if I stand at the apex of the Shinobi World, I'm still two or three levels away from the Sage of Six Paths, not to mention that right now, I am still far from the apex of the Shinobi World."

Sōseki sighed helplessly, 'To break the shackles of life level, all the ways to become stronger must be considered in place.'

'Even if Madara's coffin board is tightly closed to prevent him from dancing, the Ōtsutsuki trio that might arrive in a few decades was a threat that could not be ignored.'

Sōseki secretly sighed, as there is not much time left for him!

In this case, it is impossible for him to give up any idea easily.

"So, first of all, do I have to find someone to help me take the blame?"

When it comes to taking the blame, Sōseki subconsciously thinks of the respected Elder Danzō.

But he quickly shook his head, "This matter is too big, Elder Danzō can't carry it!"

Sōseki pondered to himself, 'I can't do something like collecting the souls, at least, I can't do it in this world. It might be a good choice to look for Black Zetsu in the parallel world... However, it's not easy to deceive Black Zetsu.'

Using the advantage of information is one way, but the information he currently has is not enough, and if he throws the bait rashly, he may beat the grass to startle the snake. (T/N: Beat the grass to scare the snake means do something that surprises, startles and perhaps frightens the enemy.)

After all, his knowledge of Black Zetsu is limited to the memory of previous life. If he wanted to plot against Black Zetsu, he needs to know more about him.

'Perhaps, I can repeatedly test it in this world, and then use the information I have obtained to win the Black Zetsu of another world's trust.'

Thinking of this, the corners of Sōseki's mouth curled up slightly, "It seems that I have to think about how to play the next game with him."

...

The next day, early in the morning.

Stepping on the dewdrop, Sōseki returned to the Western Front's main camp.

Then, he received news of the truce between the two sides.

In this regard, everyone's opinions in the camp are not unified, and their attitudes are roughly divided into two factions.

The war-weary faction thinks it's good to end the war early. Iwagakure is not a pushover, and pushing too hard will make them jump over the wall.

As for the pro-war faction, this decision is unacceptable. Most of them have lost their friends and relatives in the war, and hatred makes them unwilling to stop.

In just one or two days, a lot of disputes have broken out in the camp.

Therefore, when Sōseki returned to the camp, a large crowd gathered around him.

"Sōseki-sama, please mention it to Hokage-sama, how can you give up at the last moment?"

"That's right, the war has been going for three years!"

"Sōseki-sama, don't listen to their nonsense, the war has caused enough pain!"

At this moment, Sōseki is feeling a headache as it is hard for him to do anything about this.

After all, he is not Gaara, how could he make them put down their hatred with just one speech.

'However, I can only bite the bullet.' Sōseki felt helpless, but a serious and solemn expression appeared on his face, "Everyone, please listen to a few words of mine."

Hearing Sōseki's words, the noisy voice in the surrounding suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked towards Sōseki expectantly.

"As you said, if this war continues, we would definitely win! As the battlefield's Commander-In-Chief, I can easily harvest flowers and applause by then."

"From the point of my interests, I should support the war, however, I don't want to do this, because I don't want the next time I see you, it would be at a funeral."

"The hatred that has already been generated cannot be eliminated, but the spreading pain can be stopped. If your friends and relatives die, you will be sad, but if you die, those who care about you will also be sad. This is how the pain continues to be passed on."

Then, Sōseki said, "However, I am not trying to persuade you to let go of your hatred. There are many ways to take revenge on Iwagakure. There is no need to use this way of harming yourself and the people around you."

"For example, after the war, you can organize people to grab Iwagakure's missions and make Iwagakure unable to receive missions anymore; or write a book like Jiraiya-sama to spread the evil and brutality of Iwagakure through words; you can even work hard to make money to establish a large chamber of commerce and then impose economic sanctions on Iwagakure."
