"Jingle~"
"Jingle~"
A clear bell sound drifted from the depths of the cave on a chilling wind.
Uchiha Gen could not help frowning. He instinctively felt uncomfortable, as though something had passed by his side. Both his body and mind were affected by the bell sound, gradually slowing his steps.
He looked around. The surroundings remained exactly the same as before. When he raised his head to look upward, there was nothing in the vast cave.
No... there was something!
The tomoe in his Sharingan spun as Uchiha Gen strained his vision to the limit. He saw a blurry shadow, its long tongue hanging out as it floated through the air toward the end of the path.
"That is... King Yama!"
The Rinnegan possessed the power to connect life and death, and King Yama was likely part of the Pure Land as well. He guided Undead Spirits at the gates between life and death, which was why he could be summoned and controlled through the Rinnegan.
Remembering Orochimaru's warning before their departure, Uchiha Gen ignored King Yama.
He was alive. King Yama would not concern himself with him.
"Jingle~"
"Jingle~"
The bell sound grew clearer, and Uchiha Gen's footsteps slowed once more.
At the far end of his view below stood a towering, imposing gate.
Its viciously grinning demonic face seemed to mock every departed soul about to enter the Pure Land. Spikes jutted out along its edges, and the entire gate was red.
According to Konoha's records, the first five Rashomon Gates were red, green, blue, cyan, and brown respectively.
Once summoned, the gates possessed a certain degree of defense, which could be enhanced by the quality of the user's chakra. However, there was an upper limit. Only by summoning subsequent Rashomon Gates could their defensive power be further
