"The Reaper Death Seal actually..."
"Actually failed?"
"Lord Yue, just... just how strong are you?"
Though even Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, shinobi capable of using the Reaper Death Seal, were stunned by the sight before them, the fact remained that Uchiha Yue had forcibly broken the supposedly unsolvable forbidden technique from the original Naruto story with the power of his Purple Eye. It stood before Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and the others like an ironclad truth.
As they watched the Reaper Death Seal break apart, Kushina Uzumaki froze. Minato Namikaze froze. Even the once-renowned Sannin of the Shinobi World froze. Having felt the Reaper's majesty, even the Third Hokage's body had stiffened where he stood.
Only Uchiha Yue remained.
He vaguely sensed that the Purple Eye shattering the Reaper Death Seal was merely the beginning.
That unsettling aura still lingered around him, making even the pupils of Uchiha Yue's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan contract slightly.
Sure enough!
The Purple Eye had challenged the Reaper's phantom, and the terrifying backlash from hell had begun!
In an instant, an incomparably dark aura enveloped Uchiha Yue's body. That darkness was even gloomier than the aura of Uchiha Yue's Asura Susanoo. Moreover, the very moment that aura shrouded him, not only did the Purple Eye that had just resisted the Reaper's phantom fall into boundless darkness, but even Uchiha Yue's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan became trapped within it, unable to struggle free no matter what he did.
Outside, within Kushina Uzumaki's field of vision—
She only felt the pulling force on her body suddenly vanish, while the Nine-Tailed Fox's chakra returned to her body once more. Likewise, the barrier of space-time disappeared, and Kushina Uzumaki returned to the world where Minato Namikaze and the others were, as though she had crossed through time and space.
