The Shadow of Konoha

The seven Uzumaki ninjas stood around the Nine-Tails that was trapped like a dead dog. At this time, they had completed the hand seals... and the Demonic Sealing Art had begun.

However, Hanyu didn't notice any difference in the surroundings. The most powerful sealing technique, the Shikigami Fuujin, seemed to be silent to the onlookers... Now Hanyu was standing on a big tree a little further away, staring at the Nine-Tails without blinking.

"Are you curious about this technique?" The old chief of Uzumaki appeared beside him at some point and asked.

"Master, I am not particularly curious about the Shiki Fuujin itself, but I am curious about the existence of the 'God of Death'. Frankly speaking, I think the God of Death is a non-scientific existence. What is it? A natural phenomenon? The sealing ritual itself? Or some kind of spiritual incarnation? It can't really be a god, right?" Hanyu asked.

Hanyu does not understand the working principle of the ultimate sealing technique, Shiki Fuujin, but he understands its effect. However, what exactly is the "God of Death" that appears when performing this sealing technique?

Is it an image or a concrete thing? Does it exist in a real dimension? Hanyu is confused about these questions.

Because of the existence of chakra, a special energy, even souls can be explained in this world, but what about "death gods"? Frankly speaking, this thing is a bit in conflict with the scientific worldview of the ninja world. It is... too unique.

The old clan leader didn't expect Hanyu to ask such a question. He thought about it for a while, and then said, "Shiki Fujin is a sealing technique that has been passed down by the Uzumaki clan since ancient times, but how this technique was born and who was the first person to use it, it is now impossible to prove .

As for what exactly the Death God is, we have also studied it before, but I still cannot give you an accurate answer to your question, because this is something that the Uzumaki clan has not figured out - but in any case, the Demonic Sealing Technique is an ultimate sealing technique, and its effectiveness is beyond doubt."

The old patriarch could naturally understand the technique of the Demonic Sealing Technique itself, but he seemed unable to explain what the God of Death was.

So Hanyu changed the question, "Now that the seven senior ninjas of the Uzumaki clan have used this sealing technique, and since this technique was used by each of them, is there only one 'Death God' that appears now, or are there seven?"

Except for the caster and the sealed person, no one else can see the existence of the "God of Death", so Hanyu asked this question.

"That's a simple question. I can tell you... the God of Death is the God of Death. Even if they are summoned at the same time, there will only be one God of Death." The old patriarch said, "If you are really interested and fearless, you can stand next to me. Then you will naturally see the image of the so-called 'God of Death'. He... It is a unique existence."

Death is an "existence", and the only one.

Hanyu thought about it and soon understood this explanation... It is precisely because the God of Death is unique, so when Ninja A uses the Shiki Fuujin to seal the things in the God of Death's stomach, Ninja B can use the method of releasing the seal to release the sealed things again.

If the "God of Death" is not independent but merely a part of the Shiki Fuujin, then it would be impossible for Ninja B to take out what Ninja A sealed in his own Shiki Fuujin.

So… Death is Death.

But now is not the time to explore the nature of the Grim Reaper.

At this time, a round hole suddenly appeared on the clothes on the chest and back of the seven Uzumaki ninjas, as if penetrated by something transparent. Then, the Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly howled.

That cry... was filled with fear and anger. This was the "ritual" to split the Nine-Tails.

But things didn't seem that simple. Although Hanyu couldn't see the specific situation, just from the distorted expressions of those ninjas, it seemed that things were not going so smoothly.

The key to success or failure lies here, but for this kind of thing, Hanyu can only stand here and can't help at all.

"Mito, tell Kyuubi to behave himself!"

Someone tried hard to hold back something and suddenly shouted loudly.

These seven Uzumaki ninjas are old after all, and their weakened chakra may not be able to withstand the Nine-Tails' struggle... If someone wants to cut up his body, the Nine-Tails will naturally resist.

With this kind of resistance, the elderly caster might not be able to tear the Nine-Tails' body apart.

Fortunately, Mito was there. The chakra chains on the Nine-Tails suddenly tightened at this moment, and the Nine-Tails was like a sponge grasped by five fingers, and was instantly flattened, squeezed and deformed.

Then, a huge amount of chakra rushed to the chest of the seven ninjas. For a moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox's body exploded like thunder, but then everything seemed like an illusion.

Looking at the Nine-Tailed Fox again, its body size is still the same, and it still has nine tails behind it, but now it looks like an animal that has been drained of fat. The whole fox has become skinny, and its orange-red fur has turned into a light gold, as if it had suddenly undergone a bleaching treatment.

More importantly, the thrilling, eyelid-twitching chakra reaction disappeared... Although the remaining chakra of the Nine-Tailed Fox is still indescribably huge, there is no harm without comparison. Compared to it just now, it now seems too weak.

There is nothing that can be done about this, after all, the Nine-Tail has become the 9/8-Tail.

Then, the marks of the Four Seals appeared in front of the seven Uzumaki ninjas at the same time, and then those marks disappeared again.

"nailed it..."

"Yes, fortunately I have fulfilled my mission..."

I don't know who said this, but the next moment, the seven ninjas shook at the same time and then fell down one after another.

The Demonic Sealing was completed, and the Grim Reaper left with its "sacrifice".

The slug also retracted its body, and the Nine-Tailed Fox, which had been sucked dry, lay powerlessly on the ground.

"Hanyu!

Ninjas of Konoha and Uzumaki, what have you done to me?

Kill you!

I will definitely kill you!"

After taking a few breaths, the Nine-Tailed Fox roared again. This time it was really angry because it could feel that it had lost a huge amount of power.

The tailed beasts themselves are chakra creatures, and chakra is their essence. It is precisely because of that power that they can act recklessly. Even if they are sealed in the body of a ninja for a while, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the life span of a ninja is so short that they have the possibility of breaking free from the seal at any time.

However, when it realized that it had permanently lost most of its power, the anger and fear in the Nine-Tailed Fox's heart could no longer be concealed... Even though the Nine-Tailed Fox was equivalent to a "natural disaster", the ninjas were now beginning to overcome the natural disaster.

Therefore, Kyuubi's current state is nothing more than impotent rage.

But what does it matter if he is angry? Hanyu doesn't care about this kind of thing at all. After all, when the Nine-Tailed Fox roared, it was still lying on the ground powerlessly.

Hanyu just looked at the seven ninjas falling down, and whispered, "Oh, I'm honored that Master Nine-Tails can remember the name of a little ninja like me."

The chains of the Diamond Sealing suddenly tightened, and like dragging a half-dead drowning dog, the Nine-Tail was pulled to Uzumaki Mito's side again. Then, the body of this skinny fox also disappeared - it was sealed back into Uzumaki Mito's body again.

Seeing that the Nine-Tailed Fox was sealed again, Hanyu thought of a profound question.

The Nine-Tailed Fox was cut into eight parts by seven cuts, and it was cut into eight parts in a very organized, planned, premeditated, and step-by-step manner. The ninja's conspiracy must have completely angered it, so...

If Naruto still has the opportunity to become the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki in the future, can he still brainwash the Nine-Tails into becoming his good friend with his brainwashing ability? Can the so-called bond between humans and beasts that transcends species still be established?
