Death Reaper's Domain

Kazahana Dōtō stood up from his seat and roared angrily.

What are you?!

The next moment, just like in the movies, the sound of orderly and rapid footsteps echoed all around the palace. The once empty palace was now teeming with ninjas and soldiers from all directions.

The scene was quite exciting; as a signal to smash a cup, the axemen lying in wait behind the curtain all rushed out of the window to attack.

Naruto suddenly felt a pang of jealousy. He felt he should be standing on the platform of the hall, not at the entrance. If he were to set up the ambush, he certainly wouldn't choose some lowly soldiers.

Only an Elite Jonin like Kakashi is qualified to be an axe-wielder and fight like that. Oh, everyone knows him, the social butterfly of the Shinobi World, Kakashi.

It's prestigious.

But now, Kazahana Dōtō has found a group of pitiful ordinary ninjas who are neither strong nor very knowledgeable.

Since he was able to break through the blockade of seven Land of Snow Jonin unscathed and arrive here as if it were empty, could he really be easily taken down by a few crossbow bolts and kunai?

"I am just an ordinary Konoha High Command." Naruto looked up at Kazahana Dōtō, who sat on the throne with a dignified expression. "You refused Konohagakure's investigation and attempted to harm Konoha High Command."

"I can conclude that the Land of Snow's monarch, Kazahana Dōtō, unilaterally provoked war against the Land of Fire. In order to prevent the situation from escalating further, I have the right to make a temporary decision."

"What are you talking about?" Kazahana Dōtō was taken aback.

Seeing the other person's face, as dark and gloomy as a deep well, he was momentarily stunned. Konoha High Command? What nonsense! The Land of Snow has never had any dealings with the Five Great Nations; what is a Konoha High Command official doing here?

Even when lying, you should at least prepare a draft. How can you just spout nonsense like that? Ridiculous.

"I didn't say anything, just said something casually." Naruto sniffed and said with a smile, "You have so many people lying in ambush here, and I'm the only outsider here. I'm really nervous because I don't know anyone here."

Kazahana Koyuki looked at him hesitantly, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

Kazahana Dōtō frowned, and without wasting any words, pointed at Kazahana Koyuki and said.

"Hand over the Hexagonal Crystal, or else..."

Before he could finish speaking, Naruto suddenly clasped his hands together with a loud thud. Amidst the astonished and confused gazes of Kazahana Dōtō, he shouted something.

"Wake up!!!!"

Inside the palace, which was surrounded by layers upon layers of walls, a hundred coffins rose from the ground, some even emerging from between the soldiers' legs like cannonballs.

"Ah!"

"What is that?!"

"Where did this coffin come from? What's inside?"

"Look! Look! There seems to be something inside! It's about to come out!"

"Hurry up and do something!"

They soon realized that the most terrifying thing in the world was that the coffin lids weren't sliding lids, but flip-top lids. More than a hundred coffin lids slammed heavily to the ground with a bang, kicking up clouds of dust.

One hundred Impure World Reincarnation corpses stepped out of their coffins—ninjas, soldiers, and civilians alike. The addition of these hundred-plus corpses made this party—oops, this party—even more lively.

More than two hundred muscular men, half of whom were not breathing, crowded the main hall.

With a snap of the fingers, the battle began immediately.

Amidst the constant shouts of battle, Naruto stood motionless, protecting Kazahana Koyuki. Whenever someone charged at him, he would simply punch them away.

Ordinary ninjas could not withstand the massive Tailed Beast Chakra. Naruto directly injected the Chakra into his opponent's body with a punch, blasting the opponent away with a bang.

Another ninja of some skill dodged the Impure World Reincarnation corpse and charged towards him. His armor crackled with blue Chakra currents, clearly indicating he was a new type of ninja utilizing advanced ninja technology.

He took two or three steps toward Naruto, and the faint sound of lightning crackling from his wide, sweeping movements could be heard. Naruto didn't dodge; instead, he kicked him, sending him flying ten meters away.

They were all insignificant nobodys, and combined they weren't even half the strength of Elite Jonin Kumogakure.

Kazahana Dōtō stood on the throne, watching the situation within the palace crumble, his face growing increasingly pale. Naruto stood in the center of the battlefield, his tall stature and outstanding presence striking.

The battle was over in less than ten minutes.

The vast palace was deathly silent, the ground littered with corpses. Those still standing were all broken and remnants of the Impure World Reincarnation, scattered about, some already fallen to the ground.

Kazahana Koyuki cautiously but boldly glanced at the area and breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that her father had not been Impure World Reincarnation.

On the throne.

Kazahana Dōtō gripped his scepter, his entire being consumed by rage. He gritted his teeth, and his robe was ripped open, revealing his Chakra Armor.

Seeing this, Naruto shook his head. In this world, villains who take off their clothes will die.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" he asked with a smile, then strode forward, walking straight toward the Kazahana Dōtō.

"If I were you, I would say something in the final moments of my life."

"Who exactly are you?" Kazahana Dōtō asked with a gloomy face.

"Can I ask something else? Didn't I already say that?" Naruto said. "An ordinary Konoha High Command official who also works Genin."

"Konohagakure has no right to interfere in the affairs of our Land of Snow!" Kazahana Dōtō roared. "Even the Five Great Shinobi Villages can't act so domineeringly when they have no connection with us!"

"No rights?" Naruto laughed, stopping in his tracks. "I don't know what rights Konohagakure has, and I don't care. It was just an excuse anyway. You're very important to me."

"You!!!"

"You'll get your comeuppance! You're a monster! Manipulating Forbidden Jutsu! You'll die a horrible death!" Kazahana Dōtō was trembling all over. He never expected that his Land of Snow, which he had built up over ten years, would collapse so quickly.

Faced with overwhelming power, everything crumbled like clay chickens and earthenware dogs.

Upon hearing this, Naruto suddenly smiled.

"Will I die a horrible death?"

"Do you think I'll die? Too many people want me dead, but I'm still alive and well. On the contrary, I can wake those people up anytime."

With a snap, Naruto clapped his hands, too lazy to even put them together in prayer position. He simply patted his hands lightly, as if brushing off dust.

"Wake up!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A rustling sound suddenly rang out in the palace, and the corpses on the ground rose up at bizarre angles. Their eyes turned dark red, and they stood there blankly.

For those with lower strength, Naruto could easily awaken them without even completing the Impure World Reincarnation ritual. However, the side effect of Impure World Reincarnation is a reduction in combat power; some of these individuals are even weaker than a peasant woman.

But it doesn't matter; the sheer awe of seeing the dead rise again before the Kazahana Dōtō is unparalleled. Even if it doesn't apply to everything, the effect is still excellent.

Kazahana Dōtō took a step back, holding the scepter in his hand, his lips trembling slightly, as he looked at the Impure World Reincarnation corpses standing before His Highness, many of whom were familiar faces.

"You're insane! You're a madman!" he shouted, his expression filled with terror, his hysterical voice echoing throughout the hall.

Located in the middle of the main hall, amidst the Kazahana Koyuki, she remained remarkably calm. This wasn't the first time she'd witnessed such a scene; she felt nothing, and even a little cramped.

She looked around again and made sure her father wasn't there.

Naruto walked step by step to the front of the Impure World Reincarnation line, looking up at Kazahana Dōtō. For some reason, on a whim, he took a Death Reaper Mask from the Sealing Space and put it on.

The menacing mask made Naruto's face appear even more somber, like a pool of stagnant water. An eerie and terrifying atmosphere instantly spread, and a cold wind blew by.

Kazahana Dōtō shivered, even though she was wearing Chakra Armor. This was warmer than any thermal underwear, maintaining a constant temperature and completely unaffected by the outside temperature.

Even so, looking at the horde of corpses and the boy wearing the demon mask, he still felt a chill run down his spine.

Naruto, on the contrary, was very polite and gave a gentlemanly bow to Kazahana Dōtō, his pupils glowing red.

"Now, I will witness your death."
