Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 71 Myths and Origins (Fifth update, please give me a monthly ticket)
Naruto and Karin stayed in "Uzushio Village" for more than two months before they made rubbings of all the "inscriptions" in the village, big and small.

During this period, I received some letters from Jiraiya.

Hopefully he'll make a trip back to the Fire Nation.

There were also requests for him to be present at the ceremony for Hatake Kakashi to succeed as the Fifth Hokage.

There are also some miscellaneous contents.

Most of Naruto refused.

Only when Kakashi succeeded as the Fifth Hokage did Naruto summon a shadow clone to congratulate Kakashi, but the real body still stayed in the Land of Whirlpools to study these inscriptions.

Most of the valuable things have been taken away by other ninja villages.

What remains here are mostly "myths" and "history".

Recorded on the stele.

The "Uzumaki Clan" are the descendants of the "Six Paths Sage". They experienced some things in the Warring States Period and were eventually led by the clan leader "Uzumaki Ashina" to establish a ninja village on this island. They signed a friendly contract with the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and became a part of Konoha.

The record of "Death God" on the monument is independent of the history of the Uzumaki clan.

It is a very ancient god. During the Warring States Period, it was found by the Uzumaki clan and a contract was signed with it. It can be summoned by performing a spell to reap the souls of the enemies. Of course, the price of doing so is that the user's soul must be sacrificed as well.

It's really old.

The inscription on the stele does not specify from which period the deity originated, but there is a passage that clearly states that it is older than the "Six Paths Sage".

Stare at this line of text.

Naruto frowned: "Six Paths Sage. I seem to have heard of his legend."

"He is the first user of Chakra."

"He is also the one who brought Chakra into this world."

Karin nodded.

The same was true of the myth of the "Six Paths Sage" that she had heard of.

"If we follow this myth," Naruto continued, "then everything related to chakra should come after the Six Paths Sage."

"Then there is the god of death"

"It shouldn't be older than the Sage of Six Paths."

Are the records of the Uzumaki clan wrong?

However, the inscription clearly states that the Six Paths Sage is the ancestor of the Uzumaki clan.

It doesn't make sense, there would be mistakes in things related to ancestors.

What a shame.
The Whirlpool Country was destroyed twenty years ago.

Otherwise, if you ask the elders in the clan, you can directly get clearer and more certain information.

"The textual materials here do not contain any information related to the technique of Shiki Fuujin." Karin flipped through the copied text and eliminated the relatively irrelevant content. "The only useful information may be this one."

She pointed to a line of text.

"Sacrifices offered to the god of death will be sucked up and stored in his stomach, instead of going to the Pure Land after death like normal souls."

This short line of text contains an enormous amount of information.

"Pure Land." Naruto repeated the two words.

Is this the name given to the place in this world that houses the souls of the dead?

It seems
Ninjas are not as ignorant of souls as they think.

They already knew about this, but it was probably quite niche knowledge and they had never heard of it before.

And more importantly.

The meaning of this sentence.
The soul that has used this technique will be stored in the stomach of the evil ghost.

This means that even if you find the "Pure Land", you may not be able to find the souls of your parents.

They were sealed in the belly of the god of death.

"Where are we going next?" Xianglin sorted out the scrolls, arranged them one by one according to their importance, labeled them, and sealed them one by one.

Naruto thought for a moment and said, "Let's first find out what kind of things these gods are?"

"After we figure out what they are, we'll go find that guy called Death."

Xianglin paused and said, "Come to think of it, shrines like this that enshrine gods are not uncommon."

"I saw some of them when I was in the Land of Grass."

"It seems that the Land of Fire also has many shrines and temples dedicated to the gods?"

Naruto nodded.

Speaking of this, he remembered that when he was on a "D"-level mission in Konoha, he had seen some "mikotos" and "monks" who came to Konoha from the capital of the Land of Fire.

Their status is much higher than that of ninjas.

Being able to communicate with those "aristocrats" and "rich businessmen" on an equal footing, or even at a higher position.

"Then let's go to those places first." Naruto finalized the itinerary.

They packed up their things and left the Whirlpool Kingdom.

He also took a look at the small village he had saved before.

Their lives haven't improved much.

Although the little boy had not yet refined his chakra, his body had become visibly stronger.

While Naruto and Karin were on their way.

The Country of Fields, the Sound Hidden Village.

In a secret underground base.

Yakushi Kabuto stood in front of a white-haired boy.

"Didn't you bring Sasuke back?" The white-haired boy saw that there was no one around him except for one person who came back, and said calmly, "You are so incompetent, Kabuto."

"Don't say that to me, Kimimaro." Even though he was scolded, Kabuto Yakushi still smiled, not showing any anger at all, "Sasuke was not overwhelmed by Lord Orochimaru's power."

“I persuaded him many times.”

"Even after he was beaten by Uchiha Itachi, he risked being discovered by Konoha and broke into the hospital." "That didn't persuade him."

"He seems to distrust Lord Orochimaru."

The boy called "Kimimaro" narrowed his eyes, chakra surged, and he instantly appeared in front of Kabuto, stretched out his hand like a knife and slashed, his nails extended as sharp as a blade, leaving a bloody line on his neck: "Don't blame your incompetence on Lord Orochimaru."

Yakushi Kabuto smiled and held Kimimaro's hand: "Then please forgive my incompetence."

"Do you want me to try again?"

"Konoha's security has been very strong lately. If I were to break in again, I'd probably have to wait a while until they relax their guard."

Kimimaro pulled his hand back and snorted, "Lord Orochimaru can't wait that long."

He paused and looked down at his body: "I can't wait that long."

Yakushi Kabuto narrowed his eyes, his glasses reflecting the light, obscuring his expression: "So should we call Orochimaru back now?"

Kimimaro looked at him coldly and said nothing.

"Do you need my help?" Yakushi Kabuto took the initiative to ask, "I am also an excellent medical ninja."

Kimimaro refused: "No need."

"My presence is enough."

He got up and walked into a room.

Yakushi Kabuto narrowed his eyes, stared at the door, and tried hard to recall.

The Room
It seemed that what was contained were experimental subjects that Orochimaru had collected from various places.

of course
Orochimaru's "experimental subjects" are not as simple as "natural materials", but also include some children "picked up" from various places who have special bloodline limits.

Is the method to call back Orochimaru similar to the "Reincarnation of the Dead" technique?
I really want to see it.

house.

Kimimaro glanced at these "experimental subjects" and selected one of the children to plant the "curse mark" on.

Take out a piece of flesh and blood cultivated in the "nutrient chamber" and paste it on the "curse seal".

Make a seal with your hands.

"The seal to ward off evil"!
Chakra surged, flesh and blood twisted, and in the blink of an eye grew into a snake head.

The python opened its bloody mouth.

A man climbed out.

"Kimimaro, give me a hand." The man raised his head, and it was Orochimaru.

Kimimaro extended his hand carefully.

This is one of Orochimaru's life-saving methods.

Every "curse" contains a trace of his will.

As long as the "curse" is removed, Orochimaru will be resurrected.

The only drawback of this technique.

That is.
Orochimaru's will within the "cursed seal" cannot be exerted actively, and he can only wait for others to take action.

A subordinate as loyal as Kimimaro.

Or something. A smart person who noticed the nature of the "curse".

"Lord Orochimaru, I..." As soon as Orochimaru landed, Kimimaro opened his mouth and was about to report the information.

Orochimaru shook his head: "I heard everything in your curse seal."

"No need to say more."

"It's a shame Sasuke wasn't captured."

"I can't wait any longer."

Kimimaro responded.

He helped Orochimaru out.

"Lord Orochimaru." Kabuto Yakushi immediately came forward to greet him.

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and said frivolously: "I am really surprised by your performance, Kabuto. I thought you would not be such a loyal person."

“It really touched me.”

Yakushi Kabuto put on a fake smile and said, "My loyalty to Lord Orochimaru is no less than that to Lord Kimimaro."

Orochimaru sneered: "Don't say such things, prepare a new body for me."

"This one is no longer usable."

There are quite a large number of "bodies" suitable for reincarnation stored in this base.

One day later.

Orochimaru, who had completed the physical transformation for himself, sat in a wheelchair and was pushed in front of the mirror.

His face was covered in bandages, so it was hard to tell what he looked like, but his eyes were filled with resentment and anger: "Third Hokage, what a great trick."

After reincarnation, he still couldn't use his hands.

"The Demon Sealing the Dead".
This technique, which he had never heard of before Sarutobi Hiruzen used it, sealed the soul in his hands. It was a "curse" imprinted on the soul, and changing the body could not break it.

Therefore, if you want to recover completely, you must find a way to crack the technique and release the soul of your hands.

Yakushi Kabuto stood behind him, his face calm and his presence low, like air.

"Lord Orochimaru." Kimimaro pushed the door open and walked in.

Orochimaru turned around and looked at him: "You should be resting at this time."

"My body doesn't have much time left." Kimimaro said calmly, "Kou checked me and found that even if I don't do anything, I only have a few months to live."

"Rather than dying in bed."

"I want to do more for Lord Orochimaru."

"Please allow me to go to Konoha and bring Uchiha Sasuke back for you."
