The Disappearance of Emiya Shihara

"I just—"

I don't want you to be used by that guy, Madara!

Tobirama Senju frowned, trying desperately to break free, but his body was completely sealed and he couldn't move at all.

"Spiritualization Technique!"

Tobirama Senju's soul suddenly broke free from his body!

Even if the Curse Mark can seal his power, it cannot seal his soul!

The Spiritualization Technique is a technique that allows the soul to leave the body and enter the enemy's body to kill the enemy's soul!

Tobirama Senju's research on the soul was second only to anyone in the Shinobi World, and even second only to Shirou Emiya, who once lived in the Netherworld Pure Land. His soul suddenly rushed into Shirou Emiya's body!

So close!

There's absolutely no way there could be any mistakes!

There is absolutely no possibility of it being hindered!

Generally speaking

The Spiritualization Technique was powerful enough, but for Tobirama Senju to use it was tantamount to courting death!

When Tobirama Senju's soul appeared inside Shirou Emiya's body, his head involuntarily tilted back, gazing up at the soul that was as majestic as a god!

"This is a bit too astonishing—"

Even Tobirama Senju was somewhat shocked at this moment.

No wonder

No wonder Madara Uchiha always wanted to collude with Shirou Emiya!

This power of the soul often signifies the strength of the deceased during their lifetime!

Shirou Emiya's power was even greater than that of his older brother Hashirama Senju. This was probably the power that Madara Uchiha had been trying to control.

Tobirama Senju recalled the conflict that occurred when Shirou Emiya first met Madara Uchiha in Konoha. Perhaps it was at that time that Madara Uchiha used Genjutsu to try to control Shirou Emiya and realized that Shigenori Emiya was powerful. He was not only trying to heal his eyes, but also trying to obtain the power of the Ancient Era from Shirou Emiya!

"Seeking their own death—"

Shirou Emiya's soul looked down at Tobirama Senju, sealing off his mental space and preventing his soul from leaving the place.

Even though Shirou Emiya spoke calmly, the sheer volume of his voice, amplified by such immense spiritual energy within such a confined mental space, was still deafening!

"You're a bit too arrogant, Tobirama."

Shirou Emiya stretched out his palm and reached out to grab Tobirama Senju's soul, as if reaching for a toy. This was truly walking into a trap!

In a battle at the soul level, Shirou Emiya not only slightly better than Tobirama Senju, but even describing it as a crushing defeat seems a bit weak.

No matter what other strange methods Tobirama Senju might possess, at this moment he could not possibly be a match for Emiya Tsuchihara, and there was no hope of victory whatsoever.

Absolutely impossible!

Even if his soul could use any technique in the world, he could not win in this pure contest of strength.

Unless.

Tobirama Senju's soul swiftly formed hand seals. He looked at Shirou Emiya's descending hand, a resolute glint in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Thanks to Lord Shirou once told me about the secrets of the Underworld, I have also just learned a sealing technique targeting the soul."

Already-hai-wei-mao-xu-zi-you-wu-si!

Tobirama Senju suddenly formed a cross shape with both hands!

Boom!

The entire mental space trembled!

Tobirama Senju's soul unleashed a surge of powerful soul energy!

"Dead Demon Consuming Seal!"

The phantom of the Death Reaper emerged from Tobirama Senju's soul!

This phantom of Death Reaper resembled a ghost, its size almost identical to that of Shirou Emiya's soul, with long horns on its head and a mouth full of sharp fangs.

Death Reaper!

The most terrifying god in legend.

This is a legendary monster that controls everything in the Underworld and can devour souls!

The Uzumaki Clan discovered the existence of the Death Reaper while researching techniques for sealing souls. They even developed the Ruler Demon Sealing Technique, which can summon the Death Reaper and seal any enemy within the Death Reaper's body!

Even Shirou Emiya couldn't underestimate the power of the Death Reaper!

Even someone as powerful as Shirou Emiya would need to use Six Paths level power to eliminate the threat of the Death Reaper.

"Feel sorry."

Tobirama Senju Shirou Emiya, who was dodging the dagger in the Death Reaper's hand, and a sense of calm finally settled in his heart. "This is the only way I can seal Lord Shirou."

"You, who cannot leave your body—"

"The Death Reaper will surely be able to capture your soul and seal you away. Although my soul will also be sealed within the Death Reaper's body when I summon it, I will do so in order to prevent Lord Shirou's power from becoming an aid to Madara."

Tobirama Senju calmly accepted his fate and continued, "The moment your soul was sealed, even the Impure World Reincarnation could not revive you. Your soul will be forever sealed within the body of Death Reaper— "

In such a short time, Tobirama Senju came up with this sealing method. After dealing with the missing-nin forces of Kumogakure, he was no longer able to fight. After the failed surprise attack on the seal, he had no choice but to adopt this tactic of mutual destruction.

Now it looks...

Perhaps I have let Shirou Emiya a bit.

However, no matter what, Madara Uchiha could no longer use Shirou Emiya. Even if he found Shirou Emiya's other half, he could not revive him through the Impure World Reincarnation.

It looks like...

It seems that everything can finally come to an end.

However·-·

As the phantom of the Death Reaper reached out to grab Shirou Emiya's hand suddenly seized the Death Reaper's hand, and he punched the Death Reaper in the face, sending him flying. The Death Reaper, Wolf, crashed directly behind Tobirama Senju!

"!!!"

Tobirama Senju's expression changed instantly.

Shirou Emiya

How could it be so powerful!

Even Death Reaper Shirou Emiya is no match for Emiya Shibara?

Tobirama.

Shirou Emiya's soul rubbed his wrist, as if he could faintly feel the recoil pain from his punch, and his gaze fell on that tiny soul.

"You want to use Dead Demon Consuming Seal me away—"

"But you probably don't know this, but I've been fighting against the Death Reaper in the Underworld. Those souls lost between life and death, unable to escape, have always been led back to the Netherworld Pure Land by me. That's one of the reasons why I dared to let Hashirama exist in that narrow space."

Tobirama Senju's soul trembled slightly.

This is bad.

I did something stupid!

I didn't realize I had made an irreparable mistake!

Because Tobirama Senju remembered what Shirou Emiya had mentioned: only the legendary god-like power could freely travel through the Netherworld Pure Land!

Shirou Emiya a true god!

This is a god who cannot be Dead Demon Consuming Seal!

Shirou Emiya ran his fingers through his hair, his forehead slightly red and swollen, unsure how to lift it. "I never imagined you would try to seal me away with Death Reaper, attempting to keep me forever asleep within Death Reaper body, simply because I would help Madara—"

"On you—"

I see no hope at all.

"You can get anything, but you won't allow others to share it, isolating yourselves as individuals, and using that to hate other individuals."

"Feel sorry."

Tobirama Senju's soul slowly tried to retreat, while still wanting to continue speaking ill of Madara Uchiha: "Because I personally witnessed the pain Madara once brought to the Shinobi World—."

"So"

Shirou Emiya lowered his head slightly, gazing down at the tiny soul. "Did Madara, in the past, also allow the Death Reaper to devour the souls of others? Did he also commit such acts of plunging human souls into inescapable suffering?"

Tobirama Senju could never refute that.

"You may not be as good as him."

"You used the Impure World Reincarnation to disturb the peace of my soul."

"They want to obtain the secrets of the Ancient Era from me through deception, secretly manipulating me in an attempt to gain the power of the Ancient Era from me—"

"During my travels in the Shinobi World, he secretly assigned Shimura Danzo to monitor me, and even attempted to control my social interactions in the Shinobi World."

"After the outbreak of war, you began to utilize my medical skills under the guise of a medical ninja, allowing me to work day and night to treat the seriously wounded soldiers of Konoha;"

"At this critical moment in the war, you want to use me without any hesitation in the name of peace to force Hidden Stone Village to withdraw its troops, thereby helping Konoha to win the war."

Shirou Emiya's face remained tolerant, and he continued calmly, "These are all trivial matters to me, and I won't mind your minor offenses. But how dare you, who have been doing these things all along, think that you are more deserving of my favor than Madara?"

"Feel sorry-"

Even Tobirama Senju's soul felt like it was about to break out in a sweat.

Because Tobirama Senju never imagined that everything he did was being watched by Shirou Emiya, or perhaps it was Madara Uchiha secretly reported him.

After all·

Shirou Emiya just mentioned that Madara Uchiha did indeed secretly report him!

That inherently evil bastard, he really has been colluding with gods like Shirou Emiya all along, harboring ill intentions!

"To escape Death Reaper."

"I too must pay the price of returning to the Underworld," said Shirou Emiya. As he spoke, nine jet-black Truth-Seeking Orb slowly floated up behind him. "Only this posture can defeat the Death Reaper— "

"In this state, the Impure World Reincarnation will automatically dissipate, because this is a power that cannot be contained by the Impure World Reincarnation Body."

Tobirama Senju instinctively wanted to back away!

Because the phantom of Death Reaper behind them was also slowly retreating!

As Tobirama Senju slowly raised his arm, the phantom of the Death Reaper also raised its arm, but he could clearly feel that the phantom of the Death Reaper was also trembling!

Death Reaper.·

Even Shirou Emiya was afraid of him at this moment!

"But it doesn't matter anyway."

Shirou Emiya didn't care about returning to the Underworld after being freed from his Impure World Reincarnation Body. His voice was calm. "When someone breaks the taboo of the boundary between life and death, the rule of keeping one's promise will no longer be followed."

"Don't want"

There was a hint of despair in Tobirama Senju's eyes.

Because he realized the meaning behind Shirou Emiya's words.

Is Death Reaper a taboo for the other party?

Is this to say that he used the power of the Death Reaper and truly angered Shirou Emiya?

"There's no need to despair."

"Now you can be proud."

"For you, scheming against someone you might even revere as a god is enough to make you proud."

After Shirou Emiya finished speaking, his aura gradually rose, and his hand suddenly grasped at Tobirama Senju's soul. "I also want to learn from the ninjas of your era."

Just how meticulously you scheme against others—

Shirou Emiya slowly raised his hand, suddenly grabbing Tobirama Senju his palm. Under this god-like soul, Tobirama Senju's body and soul seemed insignificant. He even had a vague feeling that he would be crushed by Shirou Emiya's hand.

However·

In a place unseen by Tobirama Senju's soul, a pair of Rinnegan quietly appeared in Shirou Emiya's eyes.

The next moment!

Tobirama Senju suddenly felt his memories being continuously extracted!

A glint flashed in Shirou Emiya's Rinnegan. His face remained expressionless as his Rinnegan continued to absorb the Chakra memories deep within Tobirama Senju Tobirama's soul!

Shirou Emiya had absorbed all the theoretical origins and processes of Tobirama Senju's development of all forbidden techniques, and his soul was rapidly deducing and evolving all the forbidden techniques!

Flying Thunder God Technique

The techniques of Impure World Reincarnation and Spiritualization Technique are as numerous as the stars in the sky!

All the techniques that Tobirama Senju had mastered were extracted by Tsuchihara Emiya at this moment. Under the Six Paths Sage Mode level of Chakra, Tobirama Senju had no ability to resist at all!

These forbidden techniques and memories

This will also be Shirou Emiya's biggest gain from this resurrection!

In order to maintain his image as a medical ninja, Shirou Emiya has never been interested in Tobirama Senju's techniques!

The reason he had never dabbled in any forbidden techniques in Konoha was now that he was truly extracting these techniques from the minds of their developers!

Certainly·

Strength is not the most important thing.

What's truly important is that I will possess this knowledge from Tobirama Senju, and in the future, it will be easier for me to guide the one who resurrected me!

Finally, all memories were completely extracted by Emiya Tsuchihara.

Shirou Emiya's eyes returned to normal, and he then threw Tobirama Senju's soul onto the ground in the spiritual space. The Second Hokage's eyes were filled with pain, and the pain in his soul made him unable to react for a moment. He looked as if he had been ravaged by a storm!

"My memories—"

Tobirama Senju struggled desperately to stand up.

Ninja intelligence is top secret; all of his information has been thoroughly read by Shirou Emiya, even down to his birth in the Warring States Period. "Your soul doesn't seem noble at all..."

Shirou Emiya looked down at Tobirama Senju's soul.

Death Reaper floated silently, its mouth agape.

Because Tobirama Senju's soul is the reward it should receive.

"Take his soul and go."

Without further hesitation, the phantom of the Death Reaper grabbed Tobirama Senju's soul and threw it into the mouth full of monkey teeth, finally able to reap its reward!

When Tobirama Senju's soul fell into the Death Reaper's mouth, he even felt a faint sense of relief. A row of healing teeth appeared in his vision, allowing him to see Shirou Emiya through the gaps between them.

What will this medical ninja eventually become?

What will become of this medical ninja who once took saving lives as his mission, after he used the Death Reaper against him, and after Madara Uchiha used and deceived him? Tobirama Senju looked at the gap in the Death Reaper's fangs and seemed to see a faint hope for the future. Only hope can sustain the will. The seal of the Death Reaper is not just the end.

The Uzumaki Clan also has a way to free souls from the bodies of Death Reaper, but it also requires sacrificing souls, and no living person would do this unless absolutely necessary. Perhaps this will be a long time from now.

However, when Tobirama Senju's soul fell into the Death Reaper's mouth, Shirou Emiya's ordinary eyes continued to gaze at him until the other was swallowed by the Death Reaper.

"Are you still holding onto hope?"

"But none of this is necessary anymore—"

"The moment you emerge from Death Reaper, you will become a new pawn."

Shirou Emiya's soul returned to the mortal realm. His soul remained suspended there, but he quickly withdrew his power. "My other pawn should be arriving soon, shouldn't it?"

Since his Impure World Reincarnation body had already collapsed, he could not stay in the mortal world for long. He looked up at the sky, seemingly still having an infinite longing for the world of the living.

Only in this vibrant world...

Only then can people truly experience the taste of being alive.

Even though he already possessed godlike power, Shirou Emiya strived to maintain his human heart.

They should be here soon.

Because Shirou Emiya Madara Uchiha Shirou Emiya's situation when he was summoned by Tobirama Senju, they would definitely be rushing towards him desperately—

Madara Uchiha also wanted to take this opportunity to kill Tobirama Senju.

"Spiritualization Technique".

Shirou Emiya obtained the Spiritualization Technique from Tobirama Senju's memories. His soul flew swiftly into the distance, leaving behind his last words.

On the other side.

Madara Uchiha was indeed as Shirou Emiya had predicted.

Madara Uchiha even brought Black Zetsu along. The two of them quickly advanced towards this area, but their speed was ultimately a bit slow, and they couldn't possibly arrive in time.

In the sky.

Shirou Emiya's soul was flying rapidly.

With the power of the Spiritualization Technique, Shirou Emiya's soul travels at an astonishing speed, because it is impossible for him to remain in the mortal world in this state.

"What is that?"

As Madara Uchiha traveled, he looked up at the glowing object flying at high speed above, which was rapidly approaching them!

"That is—"

"Lord Shirou's soul!"

Madara Uchiha in horror.

"Wei Yuan!"

Black Zetsu stared in disbelief at Shirou Emiya's soul.

"Spotted, Black Zetsu—."

Shirou Emiya's soul descended swiftly, and without even waiting for Madara Uchiha to greet him, he hurriedly told them what had happened to him.

"Has something happened to Tobirama?"

"We just found out too."

Black Zetsu quickly reminded Emiya Tsuchihara, "I heard there was a coup in Hidden Cloud Village, and the future Third Raikage couldn't wait to withdraw his troops and went back."

Tobirama is dead.

Shirou Emiya looked somewhat dissatisfied, as if he was unhappy with his fate. He said, "Because before he died, he thought that my connection with Madara would threaten the Shinobi World. Tobirama released the Impure World Reincarnation from me and even wanted to use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal my soul. Now, in order to get rid of the Death Reaper, my soul has to return to the Underworld."

"That despicable scoundrel!"

Madara Uchiha was somewhat surprised that this day came so soon.

How should I put it?

This is a day filled with both good news and bad news.

Although Madara Uchiha was not happy that Shirou Emiya's soul had returned Underworld the Underworld Tobirama Senju, the death of Shirou Emiya Madara Uchiha Madara Uchiha n't help but feel happy Tobirama Senju.

"Hmph, this shameless behavior is really typical of him—"

Madara Uchiha's lips curled into a wicked smile. He could almost picture Tobirama Senju, that shameless scoundrel, freeing Shirou Emiya's soul while simultaneously righteously criticizing his relationship with Shirou Emiya.

Shirou Emiya frowned.

"Snort-"

Madara Uchiha noticed Shirou Emiya's attitude and explained with a cold laugh, "I know that Lord Shirou hopes that the dead are honored, but Lord Shirou is just too kind-hearted to the point of being somewhat weak—"

"Never mind."

"Now you have seen peace."

"There's no need to feel sad when you return to the Underworld."

Madara Uchiha still held Shirou Emiya in high esteem, not abandoning him despite inheriting Black Zetsu's legacy. He said earnestly, "Return to the Underworld Shirou Emiya peace, Lord Shirou."

This era will at least calm down for a while.
