Upon hearing the elder's words, Yemo, who had been sent flying by the elder in the sky, couldn't help but curse loudly.

"Elder, you old fox! Even on your deathbed you're plotting against me! I have no interest in being the clan leader!"

Unfortunately, Yemo had already flown dozens of meters away, and his curses did not reach the ears of the elder. However, even if the elder had heard them, he probably wouldn't have been angry, since he had indeed outmaneuvered Yemo.

On the other side, Kakashi, who wanted to help, stood aside, unsure of what to do. He suddenly realized that he seemed to be an outsider here, unable to get involved.

For example, just now, the elder who had threatened to kill Yemo suddenly announced that Yemo was the patriarch of the Uzumaki Clan. Although the Uzumaki Clan is now defunct in name only, he is still a patriarch. Since it has little to do with him, he might as well just be a spectator. Thinking this, Kakashi actually found a rock and sat down.

Of course, Kakashi wasn't just sitting there watching. He took out a few Military Rations Pill, put them in his mouth, and began to recover Kakashi Chakra. After a battle, Yemo's Chakra was completely depleted, let alone Kakashi's, whose Chakra was also long gone.

Here, Black Zetsu was puzzled by the series of actions of the clan elder, but when he saw that Yemo was flying towards the location of the flower bud, Black Zetsu's expression changed drastically, and he was no longer as confident as before.

Turning to look at the Great Elder, he saw that although the Great Elder's face was pale and his breathing was disordered, he had a smug smile on his face because he had achieved his goal. He used the Four Holy Seals to buy a mere half a minute, giving Yemo enough time to get close to the power of the bloodline.

Black Zetsu's face was extremely gloomy, and he said coldly, "I never expected that you, old bastard, would actually scheme for this day. I never imagined that you, who slaughtered your own clan for that bloodline, would now help a brat obtain the power of that bloodline."

Upon hearing this, the elder burst into laughter. "You're right, I am indeed an executioner, and I have no intention of explaining. But what about you? I don't know your origins, nor do I believe you are the ancestor of my Uzumaki Clan. I know I am doomed, and even if I obtain the power of the bloodline, it will be of no use to me. However, even if it costs me my life, I will not let you, the mastermind behind this, obtain it. This belongs to my Uzumaki Clan, and it must be used on the people of my Uzumaki Clan."

In the end, the elder's smile vanished, replaced by an unusually firm tone. He said, "Yemo is the most talented member of my Uzumaki Clan in the last hundred years. This bloodline power will be more useful to him than to me. His future achievements will be limitless, and one day he will seek revenge on you."

Black Zetsu sneered, utterly disdainful. Who was he? He was the will of Otsutsuki Kaguya. No one in the world had ever been able to destroy him in the past thousand years. It was even more impossible for a mere brat to do so.

Thud...

Black Zetsu slammed another punch into the light barrier in front of him. This punch was extremely powerful, and the cracks on the light barrier grew larger and larger. At this rate, it wouldn't be able to withstand more than a few punches from Black Zetsu.

Slowly raising his fist, Black Zetsu calmly said, "So what if that's the case? I only need two punches to shatter this barrier seal, and killing you is just one move. Then I can rush over and kill that brat in less than ten seconds. Ten seconds? How much bloodline power can that brat absorb? In the end, all that bloodline power will still be mine."

Upon hearing this, the elder's expression remained unchanged, as if he had already anticipated it. He laughed and said, "You underestimate me too much. Do you think I wouldn't have guessed this? What I did just now was only the first step. What follows is my killing move."

Amidst the endless killing intent, the elder swayed his body and slowly raised his waist, using his last strength to stand upright, his eyes as calm as a smooth lake surface, his hands forming one ninja hand seal after another.

"Si-Hai-Wei-Mao-Xu-Zi-You-Wu-Si" one by one, the forbearance seals appeared in the hands of the rich elders.

Although he didn't think the old man in front of him had any means to threaten him, for some reason, Black Zetsu had a bad feeling, and suddenly clenched his fists and punched out.

Under the Black Zetsu's attack, the sealing barrier was already on the verge of collapse. When the Black Zetsu punched out, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. With a series of cracking sounds, the barrier shattered into countless fragments that scattered on the ground and then dissipated into the void.

Just as Black Zetsu broke through the sealing barrier, the clan elder also completed all the ninja hand seals, clasped his hands together, and exuded a ghostly aura that sent chills down one's spine. The temperature of the surrounding world suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees.

The sudden temperature change startled Kakashi, who was refining Chakra. He felt the air around him was incredibly cold, like the dead of winter, even though it was summer, the hottest time of the year, with the scorching sun high in the sky. This temperature change puzzled Kakashi, and he also felt a strange and eerie feeling in the air, so much so that even in broad daylight Kakashi, a chill ran down his spine.

Putting Kakashi aside, Black Zetsu was the one who reacted the most. For some reason, a deep-seated fear arose within him, something that had never happened in a thousand years.

"Reaper Death Seal!" The elder clan leader clasped his hands together and shouted loudly, "Come forth, Shinigami!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange white shadow appeared behind the elder of the clan. The white shadow twisted and slowly turned into a demon with a blue face and fangs, and two red sharp feet on its head. It was wearing a white robe, had a full head of white hair, and its arms were outstretched, revealing its purple chest. It was biting a short knife in its mouth.

When he appeared, a series of cold, eerie winds suddenly rose from the void, causing the stunned Kakashi to shiver uncontrollably. Kakashi was an atheist and did not believe in ghosts or gods, but the scene before him shattered his worldview.

Black Zetsu was well aware of the Reaper Death Seal Ninjutsu. It was precisely because he knew the power of this Ninjutsu that Black Zetsu was terrified. He could disregard the attacks of the clan elders, but not this one. This Ninjutsu was a real threat to him.

Black Zetsu tried to escape, but it was too late. The clan elder had already activated his Ninjutsu. The demon behind him seemed to slowly extend its arms, but it moved with incredible speed, instantly seizing Black Zetsu's soul.

Unlike ordinary people whose souls are azure, Black Zetsu's soul is entirely black. Black Zetsu is not even a living being; he is merely a product of will. Therefore, ordinary attacks are ineffective against him, but this particular Ninjutsu is surprisingly effective.

"Although I don't know what you are, every life has a soul, and you are no exception. Shinigami will suppress your soul forever." Seeing that the Reaper Death Seal effective, the elder couldn't help but laugh triumphantly. This was the only time since the start of the battle that he had been able to injure Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu, struggling against the Shinigami Reaper, angrily retorted, "Are you insane, you old bastard? You should know that using the Reaper Death Seal sacrificing your own soul to the Shinigami, and your soul will be suppressed in the Shinigami's belly for thousands of years."

Hahaha...

The elder clansman laughed dismissively, "So what if it's been a thousand years? I'm no longer qualified to go to that Pure Land. Being able to suppress you in the belly of Shinigami is a small atonement for the sins I've committed."

Before deciding to unleash the Reaper Death Seal, the clan elder had already seen through everything. His ambition had led to the annihilation of the Uzumaki Clan, and he had committed too many sins. He no longer dared to hope to go to that Pure Land. If he could kill the culprit who caused the annihilation of the Uzumaki Clan before he died, he would agree without hesitation, even if his soul was destroyed, let alone suppress him for thousands of years.

Pulled by Shinigami, even though Black Zetsu tried to stop it, his soul was being pulled out little by little. As his soul was about to be completely pulled out of his body, the fear on Black Zetsu's face grew stronger.

"Pfft..."

Just then, the elder spit out blood, his face turned deathly pale, and his breath became extremely weak, as if he were about to die at any moment.

Black Zetsu burst into laughter. The clan elder's life force had reached its limit, and his Chakra was about to be exhausted. He no longer had the strength to maintain this Ninjutsu, and he was slowly pulling the soul that had been pulled out back into his body.

"Old man, I will still win in the end. You are exhausted and have no power to seal my soul. In the end, I will not seal it, but your soul will be sealed forever in the body of the Shinigami," Black Zetsu laughed loudly.

Blood flowed down the elder's lips. The elder was exhausted and on his deathbed. He could even feel his life force disappearing little by little, and his body was losing consciousness.

Looking up at the laughing and enormous sum of money, the elder sighed softly, then suddenly coughed, spitting out a large amount of blood.

The elder, his mouth full of blood, said with a tone of regret and resentment, "It seems I realized this too late. If I had understood everything sooner, things wouldn't be like this now. But do you think this is all there is to it?"

Before he could finish speaking, the elder paused, then suddenly raised his head and laughed, "I am prepared to let my soul be forever deprived of light, but do you?"
