The former site of the Uzumaki Clan
A dazzling flash of lightning appeared, Senga stood before an abandoned shrine.
Looking around at the dilapidated surroundings, Senga couldn't help but sigh.
"I never imagined the Uzumaki Clan would fall to this state."
It's important to know that the Uzumaki Clan's talent is among the strongest in the Ninja World. They are born with enormous amounts of Chakra and possess various powerful Sealing Jutsu.
Yet even such a clan could not escape the fate of being wiped out.
But thinking about it, it makes sense; in the Ninja World, the more powerful a race is, the worse its fate seems to be.
Leaving aside the massacre of the Uchiha Clan, the Senju Clan fared no better, perhaps even worse.
The Senju Clan was almost entirely supported by Hashirama Senju. His younger brother Tobirama was also good, but compared to Hashirama, he was still several levels below him.
Moreover, after Tobirama's death, Nawaki also died young. Apart from the Senju Clan who had already integrated into Konoha and whose bloodline had been diluted to an unknown degree, only Tsunade remained as their sole heir.
From this perspective, the Uchiha Clan actually had the best outcome among these three clans, as they at least had Obito, Itachi, and Sasuke, plus Uchiha Madara from the fountain.
The legendary eye-based conflict among the five villages is no mere empty boast.
Now, the strongest Senga has emerged. Even if all the ninjas were tied up, they might not be enough to defeat him. If he wanted to, he could revive the Uchiha at any time.
The small white snake at Senga's waist poked its head out and spoke.
"Lord Senga, the Shinigami mask should be inside this shrine. Let's go in!"
Senga nodded, casually tossed the small white snake from her waist, and said calmly,
"You should transform into human form first, to avoid trouble later."
The small white snake wriggled on the ground for a moment, and then Orochimaru appeared in front of Senga, soaking wet, and licked his lips with his tongue.
Senga frowned and muttered a complaint.
"Can't you act like a human being?"
After saying that, Senga walked into the shrine. Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then quickly stuck out his tongue and followed Senga.
As soon as Orochimaru entered the shrine, he began to search around, and eventually he actually found a hidden door and opened the secret room inside the shrine.
Upon entering the secret room, Senga immediately spotted the Shinigami mask hanging on the wall. He gave Orochimaru a look, and Orochimaru promptly stepped forward, took off the Shinigami, and put it on his face.
After donning the Shinigami mask, Orochimaru began to perform a bizarre dance, resembling a shamanistic ritual.
As Orochimaru danced, a blurry white phantom appeared above him; this was the Shinigami, the god of Shinigami in the Naruto World.
As soon as the Shinigami appeared, Orochimaru immediately cut open his own stomach. Normally, the Shinigami should have done the same, but Shinigami didn't. He just stared intently at Senga, completely ignoring Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was completely dumbfounded. He stared at his abdomen, which was gushing blood, and didn't know what to do.
He'd been stuck with the Shinigami bug his whole life, but today he'd finally messed up, and the worst part is he didn't even know what happened.
Senga looked up and met Shinigami's gaze; an eerie atmosphere filled the small, secret room.
Orochimaru, however, was about to give in. He suddenly opened his mouth, and a large Orochi with a human face emerged from it, landing beside Senga.
He lay sprawled on the ground, looking at Senga with a surprised and suspicious expression, and said...
"I'm so sorry, Lord Senga, it seems some kind of accident has occurred, and I'm unable to release the Fourth Hokage's soul!"
Senga nodded and said,
"It's alright, your task is complete, there's nothing more for you to do."
Having said that, Senga took a step forward, gazing at the Shinigami floating in the air, and said coldly,
"You're being a bit ungrateful!"
Orochimaru was taken aback, wondering if Senga was talking to Shinigami? Did Shinigami have consciousness?
However, what happened next completely overturned his understanding.
Shinigami then opened its mouth and let out a sinister laugh.
"Hehehehe! Human, your soul looks quite delicious!"
He had never seen a human with such powerful soul force; it was stronger than all the souls he had ever devoured combined!
Senga narrowed his eyes, and then, black ripples spread out from his eyes as he activated the Rinnegan.
The unique pressure of the Rinnegan erupted, and the phantom of the Shinigami was gradually blurred under this pressure. His expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock.
"How is this possible? How could you have these eyes!?"
Then, the phantom of Shinigami flickered, seemingly trying to escape.
Senga naturally wouldn't let him go. A bone-chilling, Underworld Cold Air emanated from Senga's body, transforming into a long serpent that coiled around the phantom of Shinigami, instantly freezing him into an ice sculpture.
The Shinigami's face still bore the mark of terror, just like Orochimaru's; he too was too frightened to even breathe.
He's really seen something new today. He was just dealing with the Shinigami through glitches, but Senga is going to rob him outright!
Senga raised his hand and pulled the Shinigami, who had turned into an ice sculpture, towards him. Then, he punched into the Grim Reaper's abdomen and pulled out a ball of blue energy.
Orochimaru, seeing this, quickly shouted,
"Lord Senga, my hands are also inside the Shinigami's belly, could you...?"
Orochimaru's face showed a very humble pleading look. Senga glanced at him, but in the end, she still helped him remove his "hands".
Orochimaru was overjoyed and immediately transformed into human form to catch his "hands".
Although he can use his hands through the Living Corpse Reincarnation, his incomplete soul still greatly limits his strength, preventing him from using many forbidden techniques.
In the anime, he was only able to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to revive the past Hokage after regaining his "hands".
After extracting the soul, a purple light flashed in Senga's Rinnegan, and the ice sculpture formed by the Shinigami shattered and completely dissipated into the air.
Orochimaru couldn't help but ask,
"Lord Senga, has the Shinigami been defeated?"
Senga shook her head and said,
"No, this guy was just severely injured; it'll be difficult for him to reappear in the future."
Upon hearing this news, Orochimaru almost blurted it out.
"Does that mean I can't use my Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu?"
"Hmm? What do you intend to do with the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu?"
"Um, I'm just a little disappointed..."
Senga stared intently into Orochimaru's eyes. Orochimaru, unable to withstand the pressure of the Rinnegan, immediately prostrated himself on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Senga didn't continue to scare Orochimaru. He closed his Rinnegan and said calmly,
"The Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu is utterly insignificant compared to the Rinnegan."
