Shimura Danzō said, "Enough chatter, Uchiha Gentō. It's time for you to die!"
Whoosh-
Under Gentō's gaze, Danzo formed hand seals, and shadows fell across the faces of the Root members.
Then a cold, clammy presence emerged.
White mist billowed within it, with a figure faintly visible. Even when Gentō looked directly at it, he could not make it out clearly, catching only a glimpse of a pair of crimson horns.
A sharp pain stabbed through Gentō, and he immediately grabbed Uchiha Hikari and shot into the sky.
"Is this... the Dead Demon Consuming Seal?"
Gentō's expression hardened, and he cried out in disbelief.
As Kushina's husband, Gentō was naturally familiar with the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, the S-Rank forbidden soul-sealing technique passed down through the Uzumaki Clan.
As far as he knew, the Dead Demon Consuming Seal used the caster's own soul as an offering in exchange for the Otherworld Shinigami's intervention.
The target's soul would be trapped in the Shinigami's belly for all eternity.
Cut off from every resurrection ninjutsu, the soul would suffer eternal torment.
However, the technique's most important restriction was that the Dead Demon Consuming Seal could not be used in the Pure Land to harm the souls there.
Likewise, balanced against its many costs and restrictions was the technique's tremendous power, trading one life for another.
But from what Gentō could see...
Since Danzo had cast the Dead Demon Consuming Seal so decisively, it meant he had overcome the costs and restrictions of this S-Rank soul-sealing jutsu.
At the very least, the price would no longer be as steep as before.
So that stabbing pain just now came from the Otherworld Shinigami?
In a flash, Gentō darted away, rapidly changing positions. With a thought, he activated Shinjutsu: Divine Concealment.
He removed his own existence
