The night sky is not bright, with a few dark clouds obscuring the starlight.
Among the mottled tree shadows, Sōseki moved forward like a ghost, and stopped outside the Konoha's barrier.
Although the Uzumaki Clan's Mask Storage Temple is far away from the village, it is generally still within Konoha's territory, so entering it rashly will get perceived by the barrier team.
Of course, for Sōseki, who is already considered a higher-up of the village, it is not difficult to bypass the barrier and enter the village without being discovered.
Barrier, open!
'It's really troublesome to go back to the village secretly!' Sōseki sighed with emotion secretly, and then he proceeded along the route he had already planned.
It didn't take long before he came to a dilapidated temple.
'This is it.' Sōseki walked into temple calmly.
The temple was gloomy and empty, with nothing but a wall covered in masks.
'Are all of these Shinigami Masks?' Sōseki looked at it for a while, and then his hands began to form hand seals quickly.
Spirit Transformation Technique!
At the next moment, Sōseki's spiritual body floated into the air.
In the "sight" of his spiritual body, there is a Shinigami faintly floating behind almost every mask.
"An artificial Shinigami similar to Jashin?" Sōseki had some conjectures in his heart, but it wasn't the time to verify it yet.
With the induction of the spiritual body, Sōseki picked a mask with the lowest soul strength and took it in his hand.
Then, he retracted his spiritual body, and then turned and left.
'Although this temple is on the edge of Konoha, in the end, it is still in the village. It is better to change the place to conduct the experiment.'
...
In the Land of Fire, on a group of bandits's small mountain top.
Since most of Konoha's Shinobi were transferred to the battlefield, the lives of the bandits in the Land of Fire were relatively much better.
Of course, this is only the situation for the first two years.
As the war situation improved, their lives became difficult again.
At this moment, Sōseki is standing on a nearby large tree, observing the sacrifices below.
'Although the quality of the sacrifices is very bad, Satori was sealed by me. In this case, there shouldn't be a big problem in completing the technique... If it doesn't work, I can just quantity to make up the difference in quality.'
With a thought, Sōseki decided the fate of these bandits.
The bandits, who didn't know their fate have already decided, are laughing loudly around the bonfire.
"Haha! Today's harvest is not bad!"
"Those old fellows were not honest at first. They insisted on forcing us to kill a few people before willing to take out the money."
"It can't be helped, who told us to have a hard time."
"It is getting harder and harder to live in the Land of Fire. After we finish the last raid, we will Go to the Land of Wind..."
At this moment, a chakra wave dispersed.
The movements of all the bandits stopped instantly, and their pupils lost their luster, which looked very strange in this dark night.
Sōseki calmly jumped off the branch and activated the sensing barrier before taking out the scroll that sealed Satori.
Seal, Kai!
The ice coffin exuding chilling air appeared on the ground, adding a hint of chill to the cold night.
"It's time to start!" Sōseki used a Genjutsu to control a bandit to come over and form hand seals while facing the ice coffin.
The focus of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal is the soul. Like the battle between Sandaime and Orochimaru, after the contract with the Shinigami is set, it is possible to use shadow clone as a sacrifice.
Therefore, although the quality of these bandit as a sacrifice is very bad, under Sōseki's control, it can still barely able to summon the Shinigami with his own soul as the guide.
Of course, the premise is that the fare is at his own expense—that is, he has to pay the chakra by himself.
However, for Sōseki, giving out some chakra is not a problem at all.
Soon, the Shinigami, holding a set of prayer beads and biting a short sword in his mouth, appeared behind the bandit.
"This is Shinigami? It doesn't seem to be very powerful." Sōseki raised his eyebrows. Although he picked the mask with the lowest soul strength, the Shinigami in front of him really couldn't pose much threat to him.
Sōseki even suspects that if someone uses the Dead Demon Consuming Seal on him, the final result might be he defeated the Shinigami.
"It seems that this technique is also related to the strength of the soul."
While Sōseki was observing it, the summoned Shinigami finally began to act.
The intangible arm easily penetrates the ice coffin, and even penetrates into Satori's body, pulling Satori's soul out with a sudden tug.
Although Satori's body is still being sealed, Satori's soul has already reacted, "Bastard! What is this? This is not Rōran, why am I here?"
Obviously, its consciousness was still at the moment before it was sealed.
However, even if it didn't know what the phantom that was pulling its soul was, Satori knew that he could never be pulled over by the other party.
Therefore, Satori desperately pulled back.
Pull it back and forth, like a tug of war.
Perhaps due to the poor quality of the sacrifice, in this tug of war, it is Satori's soul that gained the upper hand.
Sōseki looked at it calmly, and then went off to call for back-ups.
Another five bandits came over and used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal at the same time.
The Shinigami's power soared in an instant, pulling Satori's soul over in one fell swoop.
Next, the Shinigami took the knife with its hand and slashed Satori's soul.
Under Satori's unwilling wailing, Satori and several bandits' souls were all sealed into Shinigami's body.
After completing the seal, the Shinigami disappeared.
If someone don't look at the fallen bandits, it will seem that nothing has happened around here.
"I can start the next step – kill the donkey when the grinding is done!" Sōseki nodded with satisfaction, and then summoned another bandit, and then put the mask on the bandit's face. (T/N: Kill the donkey when the grinding is done means get rid of somebody once they have ceased to be useful.)
Dead Demon Consuming Seal!
The Shinigami, who had just finished its work, was summoned back, but before it could find its goal, it was cut in the stomach by an unscrupulous capitalist.
Several Hitodama flew out of the Shinigami's stomach. Six of them were very weak, but the other was extremely powerful.
Spirit Transformation Technique: Absorb!
At the next moment, several Hitodama were like the rootless plants and were captured by Sōseki.
"Well, there is a Ninjutsu like the Impure World Reincarnation in this world. Although I don't think anyone will use Impure World Reincarnation to revive you guys, but for the sake of safety, I'll need to annihilate even your soul!" Sōseki said indifferently as he shattered the souls of these bandits.
Then, he turned his calm gaze towards the inexplicably aggrieved Shinigami.
"You weak Shinigami, just merges with this soul!"
Shinigami: Σ(°△°|||)︴
Sōseki forcibly immobilized the Shinigami who was about to escape, and merge the Shinigami with Satori's soul together.
This is some inspiration he got from Black Zetsu's body.
Although it is not a Yin-Yang Release, it can be merged and separated like Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.
After doing all this, Sōseki sealed the fused product into the mask.
"The current Shinigami mask is not just a medium for summoning, but it is more of a ninja tool!" Sōseki played with the mask and put it on his face.
At the next moment, the voices of the rest of bandits who were immersed in the Genjutsu continued to emerge in Sōseki's ears.
After confirming that the mask's function and his assumption were correct, Sōseki took off the mask with satisfaction, "Before I learn this ability, I will use this mask for the time being."
