Reaper Death Seal

"They're too easy to fool. The Anbu of Kusagakure are really not very smart." With this thought in mind, Naruto returned to his cell with satisfaction.

While reviewing the system's side quests, a sudden question arose in his mind. Those guys from Grass Real Faction are really patient; why haven't they come and drained him dry yet?

Opening the Box of Paradise must require a massive amount of Chakra, right? Although my imprisonment was Sasuke that bastard Sasuke, it's clearly a good thing for them.

It's really rare to find someone in the Shinobi World with more Chakra than him. With such a huge fat sheep like him delivering himself to their doorstep, how could those people possibly stand it?

Is he Liu Xiahui from the Shinobi World? All this grand ambition is tied together by a single thread, come and drain yourself dry! Damn it! Don't you want to open blind boxes anymore?

Three days passed, and the people on the Grass Real Faction side still didn't seem to make any moves, so Naruto couldn't sit still any longer and prepared to start his escape.

Are you kidding me? If a movie's plot takes half a year to unfold, I'll be stuck in jail for life. Since I'm not going to start, I'll just have to force the plot forward.

If they don't care about the escapees, then I might as well just run away myself. Anyway, what he promised Ryūzetsu would happen no matter what, even if Naruto escaped and disappeared.

Ryūzetsu was completely unaware of this; she had always believed that Warden Muwa was a heartless man who Mui remain indifferent even to the death of his son for the sake of Kusagakure's growth.

Little did they know, Mui had changed, through countless days and nights. Mui's greatest wish was to resurrect his son. Even if Naruto didn't appear, or if someone else did, Warden Mui would still open the Box of Paradise to resurrect Mui.

Naruto said he would persuade Wuwei Mui open the Box of Paradise and revive Muku, but he didn't actually guarantee Muku's revival. To some extent, he was just taking advantage of a loophole, but it wasn't exactly a lie.

While it's incredibly shameless, it becomes quite reasonable when applied to Naruto. He feels absolutely no remorse for deceiving a complete stranger.

That night, after checking the rooms, Naruto decisively chose to escape. He did it quietly—well, not exactly quietly—because Ryūzetsu, who had been watching him from next door, noticed something was wrong.

That man deserves to die!

Ryūzetsu guessed that Naruto wanted to escape from prison, so he gritted his teeth and ran out of the cell, chasing after the man's back from the warehouse roof to the edge of the cliff.

The prison lights receded into the distance, Ryūzetsu, panting heavily, faced endless darkness. Gazing at the figure so close yet so far, she suddenly felt a pang of unease.

"Stop!" she shouted, her feet moving with lightning speed, leaping and flipping several times to block Naruto's path, arms outstretched. "Where are you going?"

Below them was a cliff, and below lay a dark sea, the thunderous roar of the surging waves crashing against them. Naruto glanced at her and frowned.

"What right do you have to tell me what to do?"

"What?" Ryūzetsu was a little confused. Then she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have signed some kind of agreement and felt something was wrong.

"I am your master. You can only cooperate with me and have no right to interfere in anything I do." Naruto squinted, and the searchlights of the prison moved slowly across the sea behind him.

The sea was pitch black, completely blending into the night.

"You you you you!!!!"

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean?' Did you forget what you signed yourself?" Naruto glared at her and shoved her away without any politeness.

"I'm warning you, don't bother me."

Ryūzetsu, both angry and anxious, shouted at Naruto's retreating figure.

"Below is an Uzumaki. If you jump in, you'll be torn apart by the undercurrents. There won't be any time to gather Chakra."

"Really? I don't believe it." Naruto said arrogantly, turning back to glare at Ryūzetsu. Just as he was about to leap into the air, a beam of light suddenly shone down on him.

"Hurry! Someone has escaped from prison!"

"The warden is here!"

"Ah!" The seal activated, Naruto immediately lay down without struggling at all.

The seal on Ryūzetsu's body had been broken, and she was unaffected. Therefore, she hid in a corner the moment the beam of light shone on her.

She only emerged from the shadows when prison guards came and dragged Naruto away. She glanced at their departing figures with a complex expression, then turned and went back into the prison.

The prison interior.

"I heard someone escaped from prison!"

Ryūzetsu returned to his cell silently, overhearing the commotion outside. Hozuki Castle Prison was indeed bustling tonight, with searchlights and guards everywhere.

"No way, who can get out of Hozuki Castle?"

"I don't know. Could it be that someone took the seal out and can't use Chakra anymore?"

"Isn't that person able to do it without using Chakra? If it's him, he should be able to do it, right? Like that weirdo, with that physical strength..."

"Heh, that guy's a pushover! Even I could hold out for half a minute under Mui's seal, but that guy collapsed to the ground the moment the seal kicked in!"

Ryūzetsu agreed wholeheartedly. Not only that, but that blond-haired man was also a treacherous, shameless, and utterly despicable scoundrel; his demeanor was truly repulsive.

But once she calmed down, she couldn't help but worry about Naruto's safety. Ugh, she suddenly felt so pathetic, actually worrying about that jerk's safety.

Ah!!!!

After a period of internal strife, Ryūzetsu shook his head, about to say something. Suddenly, the prison began to shake violently, and with a loud boom, a blood-red energy pillar shot into the sky.

The ceiling began to crack, the load-bearing columns swayed and crumbled little by little, and half of the prison's interior was crushed to ashes by the energy pillars.

"What's going on?" Ryūzetsu was stunned.

In an instant, screams and explosions rang out one after another, and the burning walls collapsed one after another like dominoes, and the fire spread instantly.

Ryūzetsu and huddled in her cell. Once the fire had died down, and seeing the bars glowing red, she kicked one and forced her way out. She looked around in the inferno, then chose a direction and ran out.

On the other side, the Box of Paradise had already been activated. Naruto's trash talk was, of course, partly inevitable, but two-thirds of his Chakra was still drained.

Logically, the Box of Paradise should be a bottomless pit, draining all the Chakra from the sacrificial materials. However, in reality, the Box of Paradise does have a limit; at least the Noble Phantasm cannot exceed that of its original owner.

The Nine-Tails' chakra is naturally not enough compared to the Sage of Six Paths, but 73% of the Nine-Tails' chakra in its complete form is enough to fill the Box of Paradise.

To be precise, when fifty percent was extracted, the Box of Paradise was completely filled.

With a flip, Naruto easily broke free from the altar, leaping up with a somersault. Before he could even utter a few sarcastic remarks, he heard arguing coming from the other side.

"Excellent! Mui, the Box of Paradise has been opened!"

"Quickly make a wish, let the Land of Grass become the overlord of the Shinobi World! Hurry! We've finally waited for this day!"

Naruto squinted, about to shout "You motherfucker!" when he caught a glimpse of a stubborn little figure crawling out of the sea of fire on the other side of the prison.

The clothes were burned short, and you could even see the edges of the bra strap.

Although true gold is not afraid of fire, men's and women's pelvises are different, and this difference is immediately apparent when clothes are burned. There was only one woman in the prison, Naruto recognized Ryūzetsu from 800 meters away.

That's bizarre. With such a huge fire, why didn't they try to get away?

"Mui! What are you doing!"

The commotion started again over there. The higher-ups of Grass Real Faction burst into a series of pig-like screams, as if they had heard something terrifying, and roared in unison.

"Don't want!"

The Hozuki Castle prison was engulfed in flames, with more and more walls collapsing, the scene resembling hell. Ryūzetsu stumbled over, looking utterly lost.

"Box of Paradise, please revive my son, Muku!" Mui cried out.

The plot, after many twists and turns, has returned to its starting point. Mui feels immense guilt towards his son and is determined to revive Muku no matter what happens.

Unfortunately, the Box of Paradise did not possess the magical power to resurrect the dead. Only demons emerged from it, demons in human skin.

Reviving the dead, even for someone like Obito Uchiha, required exhausting his entire life and using his Rinnegan. More importantly, it was only through his old acquaintance, the Death Reaper, that he was able to pull Rin Nohara back from the Pure Land.

Reversing life is nothing special; the Sage of Six Paths didn't enter the Pure Land of Death Reaper simply because he was a stranger in a foreign land. The Otsutsuki Clan doesn't have the concept of dying of old age; their lives are essentially about constantly changing bodies, as simple as changing clothes.

Humans are different; even ninjas cannot escape death. Even if the physical body can be rebuilt and life can be reversed, what about the soul?

Who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Death Reaper and say, "Hey bro, I need someone"? The last person to do that was Sun Wukong, who turned around, grabbed his staff, and pierced through the Queen Mother of the West's Yaochi.

Let alone a treasure left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, even if the Sage of Six Paths were alive, he could only revive people who had just died. He would directly infuse life force into the person to revive them while they were still alive and their soul had not yet returned to the Pure Land.

The effects of this Box of Paradise are predictable; it's nothing more than a demon-generating machine.

"Muku." Ryūzetsu clutched his right arm, staring blankly at the enormous Box of Paradise in front of him.

Blood-red light etched a huge rune on the ground, and a ferocious and ugly demonic phantom rose into the air, with white steam mixed with the blood-red shadow overflowing from the gaps in the box.

The box opened, and a young man with lifeless eyes stepped out. He had a cold face, messy hair, and his gait was somewhat stiff and unnatural.

It was like a wolf in human skin, slowly adapting to walking. Naruto stood still, having originally intended to attack, but now he only wanted to observe.

"This box seems pretty good." He stroked his chin and began to covet the Box of Paradise.

He initially entered Hozuki Castle prison with only two purposes: one was to fulfill Kakashi's request and resolve the incident caused by the Box of Paradise.

Secondly, they recruited the ignorant girl Ryūzetsu to replenish the supplies needed by the Evil God follower.

Coincidentally, the conditions for recruiting Ryūzetsu overlapped with the requirements for completing Kakashi's mission. After signing the Evil God Contract with Ryūzetsu, Naruto's sole purpose for staying in Hozuki Castle prison was...

After Mui revived his son Muku, it was considered an explanation to Ryūzetsu. Then, he destroyed the box, killed the berserk Mui, and other unrelated personnel.

Now, he's changed his mind; he can keep the box and sell it himself.

He suddenly remembered that the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' treasures seemed quite valuable, so he decided to keep them rather than destroy them. As for those Mui things like "Innocence Muku," he figured he could just kill them.

Mui looked at Muku, who was somewhat stiff, and at his son walking towards him step by step. For a moment, he was at a loss. He shouldn't have been so careless as to not even notice such an obvious abnormality.

Perhaps because he felt too guilty towards his son, he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word, nor did he dare to look into Muku's eyes. Those eyes were filled with indifference and murderous intent.

"I Muku, I'm sorry, it was Dad who was wrong."

Muku seemed oblivious, staggered over, and slapped Mui straight through his body. Caught completely off guard, Mui Wei's pupils dilated rapidly, and his body was bent into a shrimp-like shape from the impact.

A splash of blood fell like a flower, piercing through the heart. Amidst the Ryūzetsu's gasp, Mui knelt in the pool of blood.

"Mui Wuwei dead?"

Amidst gasps of alarm, Muku let out a scream, its entire body swelling up like a wild beast. Its body instantly expanded dozens of times, revealing a gigantic figure resembling DemiDevimon.

Its ferocious appearance took everyone's breath away, their eyes fixed on the scene on the field.

"Demons! We've released demons!"

The high-ranking members of the Grass Real Faction were terrified. They had witnessed Muku from the Box of Paradise kill Warden Mui as easily as killing a chicken.

The jailer, who had been waiting nearby, rushed forward. Ryūzetsu also moved, tearing off the turban from his head to reveal a head of flowing white hair.

"Muku! Wake up! Don't lose yourself!"

Naruto watched Ryūzetsu's performance quietly from the side, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, "Is this how you just casually reveal your identity? All you did was show a headscarf, and you shouldn't have apologized like that."

No, at least change your clothes! The people here aren't blind! Wearing a headscarf and a breast wrap doesn't make you a man, does it?

Hei tui!

Muku, or more accurately, DemiDevimon, had gone berserk; how could it possibly be interested in a human female? With a roar, it slammed its massive claws down.

With a loud bang, the Ryūzetsu narrowly avoided the attack, leaving a large, cracked hole in the ground. Covered in dust, the Ryūzetsu rolled on the ground, only to find that its opponent had not continued to attack.

"Muku!" she called out.

"Stop yelling, that thing is Awakening." Naruto walked out of the smoke with his arms crossed. "The Muku in your eyes has long been assimilated, but he still retains his memories."

"How do you know all this?" Ryūzetsu asked, turning his head. "No! You knew from the beginning!"

"I don't know, I was just captured and used as a sacrifice, I almost died there." Naruto cracked his wrists, his bones making a series of popping sounds.

"Save your energy. Whatever that thing is, just drag it down to hell."

"What?" Ryūzetsu stared at Naruto, but found that the other party did not intend to use Chakra.

Not far away, the enormous Kaku stared at Naruto, a mocking smile on its ugly face. Just as it was about to utter a few words, it suddenly noticed something equally enormous.

Death Reaper Phantom!
