The Shadow of Konoha

Hanyu gathered the bodies of several deceased Uzumaki elders together. There was no damage on their bodies, but their souls had disappeared.

"Hanyu, don't worry about that for now. I will join in later."

Seeing Hanyu doing this, the old patriarch signaled him not to start working so early.

"…"

Hanyu had no choice but to stop what he was doing, and his expression became depressed... There was nothing he could do. The person who was about to die was much more open-minded than him who was still alive. What could he do?

Mito was sitting aside to rest at this time. Not to mention the huge consumption brought by using the Diamond Seal to restrict the Nine-Tails, just to unlock the seal of the Nine-Tails and then seal it again, this back and forth is not something that an ordinary ninja can endure.

Although Mito is an extremely powerful ninja, she is also old.

"Mito-sama, is there anything wrong with your health?" the Third Hokage who was accompanying her asked with concern.

Mito just waved his hand gently, "It's no big deal, but... I think I can only endure this one ordeal now. If it happens again, my old bones will definitely not be able to take it.

But there are always pros and cons to everything. Although I am a little tired now, the good news is that I can easily suppress the Nine-Tailed Fox again, and I don't have to work harder like before... In a sense, this is a permanent solution. "

Due to the influence of age, Mito is getting weaker, so she used to worry that one day she would no longer be able to suppress the Nine-Tails. However, this problem no longer exists because the Nine-Tails has also been weakened at an epic level... She can probably suppress the Nine-Tails until the end of her life.

Mito rested for a while before standing up, "Okay, the plan has been completed more than halfway so far, and what remains is to get the Nine-Tails back from the God of Death.

Hanyu..."

"I understand, Mito-sama."

Hanyu nodded, and then began to instruct Katsuyu to notify Shiko in Konoha, and bring them here after Shiko was ready.

About twenty minutes later, Shiko and seven other tightly tied up prisoner ninjas also appeared here.

After Shiko arrived at the Wet Bone Forest, the first thing he noticed was the seven Uzumaki ninjas lying nearby.

After all, there were originally eleven people, but now seven were lying down and only four were standing. It was hard not to notice this situation, but she didn't say much at this time... Such a sacrifice itself was something that had been decided long ago.

The destroyed and messy terrain around has already shown the successful completion of the first step of the plan, and the next step is the follow-up.

"Master Hanyu, the person has been brought here."

Shiko walked up to Hanyu and handed the seven bottles filled with blood to him.

Hanyu nodded and walked over to the Third Hokage.

At this time, the Hokage had already untied the huge scroll behind him and unfolded it completely, so that the complicated technique of Impure World Reincarnation was revealed in front of everyone.

Then Hanyu handed the bottle containing the blood of the seven Uzumaki ninjas to the Third Hokage.

Then, Hanyu threw the seven prisoners who were tied up like dumplings into certain circles of the ritual according to the positions designated by the Third Hokage.

Then, as if some strange cult ritual was being performed, the Third Hokage spilled blood onto the technique one by one.

"Okay, it's my turn next."

After seeing that the Third Hokage had completed these preparations, the old Uzumaki clan leader said this... For the Impure World Reincarnation to be successful, the soul of the person being reincarnated must exist.

But now the soul of the reincarnated person is sealed by the god of death.

The Nine-Tails' chakra is not sealed in the bodies of the seven Uzumaki ninjas, otherwise there would be no need for the Impure World Reincarnation step.

Because of the special nature of the Shiki Fuujin, the Nine-Tails' chakra is entangled with the souls of every Uzumaki ninja, so only by retrieving their souls can the remaining seven Nine-Tails be retrieved.

"Hanyu, come here."

Following the previous instructions, Hanyu walked over to the Uzumaki clan leader and placed his palm on his shoulder as he requested, while his own chakra connected with the other party's chakra.

The Uzumaki clan leader nodded slightly to the Third Hokage and Uzumaki Mito, then put on the death mask that he had been carrying on his face, and then he began to make hand seals.

"Hanyu, if you really want to know the secret of the god of death, perhaps you can find the answer from the confidential information of the Uzumaki clan." He suddenly said this just before the clan leader completed the seal.

Hanyu: "…"

This statement is inconsistent with what the patriarch said before about the god of death, so does he know the origin of the "god of death" or not?

But by this time it was too late for Yuzuru to ask further questions, because the clan leader's seal had already been completed.

As the old patriarch completed the technique, Hanyu suddenly felt something particularly chilly behind him.

Then he turned around and saw the humanoid " thing" in a loose white robe... It was floating in the air, at a height of seven meters, and had a spiritual translucent color as a whole.

This is the Grim Reaper.

The Grim Reaper looks like a dead object and is very dull. It does give people the feeling that it is very close to some kind of natural phenomenon, so it is not that scary.

After summoning the god of death, the old patriarch began to control the god of death with the "mask of death" worn on his face. Hanyu saw the "god of death" take out the dagger in his mouth, then slowly swung his arms and cut open his own stomach.

At the same time, the old patriarch waved gently to the Third Hokage, and the Third Hokage, who received the signal, also began to make seals with his hands and perform the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.

In Hanyu's eyes, seven balls of light flew out from the belly of the god of death, and then poured into the bodies of the seven imprisoned ninjas in the Impure World Ceremony.

An indescribable "debris" began to appear around the prisoners' bodies, and then as they wailed, their bodies and appearances began to change... They turned into the appearance of the seven Uzumaki ninjas.

The bodies of the seven people were clearly right next to them, but they appeared in the Impure World Technique again, as if everything was copied.

Hanyu reached out and supported the old patriarch who was about to fall.

The patriarch's body was still warm, but he had already lost his life.

After supporting his body, Hanyu brought him to the remains of the seven Uzumaki ninjas and removed the death mask from his face.

After the Impure World Reincarnation, the Third Hokage stepped forward again and applied some kind of sealing technique to each of the reincarnated people one by one.

"Although I summoned you all back, I did not awaken their consciousness. If possible, I would let them continue to sleep.

And if I find a suitable Jinchūriki, after removing the Four Symbols Seal and releasing the Nine-Tails, I will also remove the Impure World Reincarnation and let the souls of these Uzumaki ninjas rest in peace...

Is this okay, Mito-sama?"

The Third Hokage explained this, and just as he said, the seven ninjas who were resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation had not regained consciousness at this time, but were like puppets one by one... The Third Hokage obviously did not want to do anything to desecrate the dead, not to mention that these dead people were sacrificed for the long-term interests of Konoha.

So Uzumaki Mito nodded and said, "Just do as you say, Sarutobi."

…

Although there were some minor setbacks during the process, thanks to the presence of ninjas like Mito, the entire operation did not encounter any major twists and turns or difficulties from beginning to end, and everything went as planned.

It can be said that up to this point, the "Eight-Divided Nine-Tail Plan" has been successfully completed...

This was done at the cost of the sacrifice of eight top Uzumaki ninjas.
