He Spat Out a Soul

Senju Tobirama beside him swallowed hard.

"Big Brother!!! Look carefully! That's no shinobi!!!"

"Huh? Then what is it?!" Senju Hashirama still looked utterly bewildered.

"Big Brother... do you remember that jutsu I invented a long time ago?!"

"What jutsu? You've invented so many that I can't keep track!"

"The one called the Dead Demon Consuming Seal!!!"

"I don't remember..."

Hearing his big brother's reply, Senju Tobirama grimaced. To be honest, he hadn't expected Hashirama to remember.

After all, whenever he invented a jutsu, his big brother would toss him a Sealing Scroll without even looking up...

At first, his big brother would show some interest and ask what kind of jutsu it was. But after Tobirama explained it, Hashirama would furrow his brows and say...

"Tobirama! That jutsu of yours is just too dangerous! I think you'd better write it down in a Sealing Scroll!"

After this happened enough times...

This became the scene every time he invented a new jutsu.

"Big Brother!!! I invented another new jutsu!" Senju Tobirama announced excitedly.

"Is it a Water Release Ninjutsu?!" Senju Hashirama asked without looking up.

"No!" Senju Tobirama shook his head.

"Then seal it away! Here's a Sealing Scroll!" Senju Hashirama tossed him one...

Later on...

"Big Brother! A jutsu!"

"Water Release?"

"No!"

"Then ban it..."

Eventually, it became...

"Jutsu!"

"Water?"

"No."

"Ban it!"

So it was only natural that his big brother didn't remember the Dead Demon Consuming Seal...

Senju Tobirama then explained to Senju Hashirama what the Dead Demon Consuming Seal was.

After hearing his explanation, Senju Hashirama furrowed his brows.

"Tobirama! I've told you more than once not to study these strange jutsu. They're so dangerous! What if a future shinobi doesn't master one properly? Wouldn't they put themselves in danger?!"

"Big Brother! Now isn't the time to talk about that, is it?!

The most important thing is that Ito Hirofumi clearly used the Summoning Technique, and the one he summoned should have been one of Konoha's dead. So why did he bring out this Death God?!"

Hearing Senju Tobirama's words, Senju Hashirama furrowed his brows and began to think.

"Could it be that Xiao Haowen's Summoning Technique is stealing souls from the World of the Dead, and the Death God got upset and came to demand an explanation?!"

Senju Hashirama stood up, frowning at the thought.

Uchiha Madara had already moved to stand beside Ito Hirofumi, so Senju Hashirama went straight to Ito Hirofumi's other side.

At that moment, Senju Hashirama was thinking...

No matter what, he had been revived—and revived perfectly!

So he owed Xiao Haowen a debt of gratitude!

Most importantly, he'd gotten to see Madara and his little brother!

Besides, Xiao Haowen was a youngster from his village. As the First of Konoha, it was only right for him to stand up for the younger generation!

After all, the boy was one of his own!

Whether or not this so-called Death God had come to demand an explanation...

If it dared to lay a hand on Xiao Haowen, then the First wouldn't mind showing it what True Several Thousand Hands and Top Transformed Buddha were!!!

Just then, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama seemed to share a telepathic connection. They exchanged a glance, then both readied themselves for battle.

But what happened next wasn't at all what Senju Hashirama had imagined...

The Death God inside the magic circle looked to be in excruciating pain. Golden chains wrapped around its entire body, and the golden light within the circle seemed to be dissolving it!

The Death God had been holding a tanto in its mouth, but the pain forced its jaws wide open, and the blade fell to the ground.

Then something that left everyone dumbfounded happened...

A clump of Soul Fire slowly floated out of the Death God's mouth.

Once the Soul Fire had emerged completely, the Death God seemed to be in less pain.

It hurriedly picked up the tanto from the ground, as though it had seen something indescribable, unspeakable, and too terrible to look at!

Then it quickly slipped into the Golden Magic Circle on the ground and vanished...

Everyone who saw this was stunned.

"Did... did the Death God just spit a soul out of its stomach?!"

Uchiha Madara thought the sight before him was simply too bizarre.

Senju Hashirama nodded blankly beside him.

"That does seem to be what happened... Who is this guy? I wonder which Konoha shinobi he is, and how he ended up swallowed by the Death God!

Good thing he wasn't digested. Otherwise, wouldn't he have turned into poop?!

I wonder what it feels like to be pooped out by the Death God..."

Hearing Senju Hashirama mutter to himself, Uchiha Madara, Ito Hirofumi, and Senju Tobirama all broke out in a cold sweat.

As expected of the First, Senju Hashirama. He always focused on the strangest things!

Just then, Ito Hirofumi heard the system's voice again.

[The hell! Why are you acting like some god in front of me?!

Think you can do whatever you want just because I haven't beaten you up?!

I'm calling you the Death God to show you some respect. If I stop showing you respect, I'll bury you!!!]

Hearing the system's arrogant words, Ito Hirofumi swallowed...

"System bro! You're awesome!!!"

[Keep it low-key! Keep it low-key! This system isn't one to show off!

It's just that this so-called Death God is way too full of himself!

Asking him for a soul is doing him a favor!

And he still has the nerve to drag things out with me?!]

Meanwhile, seeing his big brother standing there looking like a clueless fool, Senju Tobirama had no choice but to explain.

"Someone must have learned the Dead Demon Consuming Seal I invented back then. Big Brother, I just explained how it works. Basically, this jutsu is a trade with the Death God!

You exchange your own soul for someone else's!

And now, because Ito Hirofumi used the Summoning Technique, that guy's soul was probably spat out by the Death God.

But judging by this, Ito Hirofumi's abilities are terrifying...

Even the Death God of the World of the Dead can only be oppressed by him!

Or rather, bullied..."

Hearing this, Senju Hashirama was quite pleased. After all, the more impressive the youngsters from his village were, the more it reflected on him as the First!

Uchiha Madara glanced at Ito Hirofumi without drawing attention to himself. At the same time, the Rinnegan in his eyes vanished, leaving them normal once more.

Senju Hashirama rolled his eyes, then looked at Uchiha Madara. With the Death God gone, he had returned to his usual clueless self...
