Trying to Exploit a Dead Demon Consuming Seal Bug

A few days later, to be cautious, Uchiha Feng avoided the Land of Fire and led the group directly from Degarashi Port in the Tea Country by ship to the Land of Whirlpools.

After coming ashore, under Uchiha Mikio's lead, the group quickly found the Uzumaki Mask Hall.

Along the way, at Feng's request, they casually tied up two foolish bandits as well.

"Ms. Kushina, I'll have to trouble you. First, sense out the mask that sealed your Minato."

Looking at the wall of various Death God masks hanging throughout the Mask Hall, Feng spoke.

"No problem."

Kushina casually agreed, then closed her eyes and began sensing.

"Found it!"

Before long, she spoke again as she took a Death God mask down from the wall.

"Kushina, you know the consequences of using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, so please confirm it once more.

Is this really the mask?"

Seeing this, Feng asked with great seriousness.

This concerned the most important step in his future growth. He could not afford to be careless.

"Yes, I'm certain it's this one. After all, I wouldn't mistake Minato's chakra."

Kushina smiled confidently and confirmed it.

"Good. Since you've confirmed it, I'll tell you what to do next."

First, put on this mask and use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.

Once the Death God appears, immediately control it to cut open its own stomach. That will release Minato's soul, which was sealed inside.

Since the Death God is a spiritual entity, none of us can see it. Only you, Kushina, as the caster, can see it.

So after releasing Minato's soul, tell me the result..."

"Alright, I understand."

Before Feng could finish, the impatient Kushina prepared to form hand seals.

Smack!

Feng directly reached out and interrupted Kushina's hand seals, saying helplessly:

"Don't be in such a hurry. I haven't finished speaking."

"?? What else is there?

After I use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, I'll disappear. I probably won't be able to help with anything else, right?"

Kushina was somewhat confused.

"Quiet. Listen to me.

After successfully releasing Minato's soul and telling me the result, don't immediately dispel the jutsu. Keep the Death God's soul attached to yourself.

I have an idea. If it succeeds,

not only will you avoid being sealed inside the Death God's stomach, but you'll also be able to help me greatly in the future.

By then, perhaps I can bring Naruto over early and let you personally accompany him as he grows up.

And not in an Impure World Reincarnation state!"

Feng spoke with utmost seriousness.

If the following attempt succeeded, he would be able to exploit a Dead Demon Consuming Seal bug and use it freely without any limit on the number of times.

Then why wait for Nagato and Obito to follow the plot? He could just take them both out, seize the Rinnegan and Kamui Sharingan, and clear the whole thing himself.

"Really?! You aren't lying to me?!"

The moment Kushina heard that she might have a chance to live again and personally accompany Naruto as he grew up, she grabbed Feng and shouted with wide eyes.

"It's only a possibility. The prerequisite is that my idea succeeds.

If it doesn't, then don't even think about it."

Feng casually pushed Kushina aside and replied calmly.

His idea had never appeared in the original work. It was merely a modern person's wild idea, with no precedent to reference. Whether it would succeed or fail could only be known by trying.

"Alright, I'll do as you say.

Can I begin now?"

Kushina's face was full of excitement and urgency. Even though it was only a chance and not a certainty,

it was still better than her current situation of already being dead.

"Mm. If you've remembered everything I said, then begin."

Feng stepped aside with Uchiha Mikio and Uzumaki Ayaka, leaving Kushina room to perform the jutsu.

"Alright! Snake-Boar-Ram..."

Kushina shouted and began forming hand seals.

In Feng's and the others' eyes, after Kushina finished her seals and pressed her hands together, she simply stood motionless. They could sense nothing and see nothing.

But before long, Kushina's stomach suddenly split open with a pfft, without any warning.

"Minato's soul has already been released, Uchiha Feng! It's time for you to make your attempt."

Kushina pressed her hands together and shouted lowly as she struggled to maintain the jutsu.

"Mm, hold on. Keep the Death God attached to yourself.

Rat-Ox-Monkey-Tiger-Dragon-Boar! Release!"

The moment Feng heard Kushina speak, he immediately began forming hand seals.

What he used was precisely the release jutsu for Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu.

And as he shouted the final word, "Release!"

Kushina, who was maintaining the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, began rapidly turning into ash and vanishing as the Impure World Reincarnation was undone.

With a snap, the Death God mask fell to the ground, and Kushina, the Impure World Reincarnation, completely dispersed.

Feng turned to Uchiha Mikio, who held an unconscious bandit in each hand, and said:

"Senior, please put those two bandits on the ground and secure them.

I'm going to use them as sacrifices for Impure World Reincarnation.

Whether we keep lying low and developing or charge ahead directly depends on this."

"You want to reincarnate Kushina with Impure World Reincarnation again?"

Uchiha Mikio had already understood Feng's plan, but still asked.

At the same time, his hands did not stop moving as he secured the two unconscious bandits on the ground according to Feng's request.

"Yes! If it succeeds, Senior, just imagine it.

We could reincarnate all the Uchiha ancestors who bore grudges against Konoha, then have every one of them charge into Konoha and use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal..."

Feng did not finish his sentence, but Uchiha Mikio could imagine the outcome.

He even felt the urge to master the Dead Demon Consuming Seal himself and charge into Konoha, so...

"Mm. Remember to reincarnate me with Impure World Reincarnation when the time comes."

Uchiha Mikio immediately made his request to Feng.

Not long ago, he had discussed things with Feng.

Once the matter of the Mask Hall was settled, Feng would have fully grown.

In the foreseeable future, he would certainly lead the Uchiha to their peak.

And then Mikio would be released from Impure World Reincarnation and peacefully return to the Pure Land.

Feng had also promised that he would not disturb him, an undead soul, again.

But now, Uchiha Mikio felt that returning to reality for some fun was not such a bad idea.

"Heh heh, alright!"

Feng laughed when he heard that and agreed.

Mikio had helped him so much; how could he refuse such a small request?

Although the two were chatting, their hands never stopped moving.

Not long after Uchiha Mikio secured the two unconscious bandits, Feng, who had studied Impure World Reincarnation for a long time, had already finished drawing the formation needed for the jutsu.

Tiger-Snake-Dog-Dragon. After Feng completed the seals and pressed his hands together,

under the immensely expectant gazes of Feng and Uchiha Mikio, two coffins slowly rose from the ground.

Inside lay the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who had been reincarnated with Impure World Reincarnation, and Kushina Uzumaki, whose Impure World Reincarnation had just been released.

It worked!!

The two exchanged a glance and were instantly overjoyed.

With a thought, Feng awakened Kushina in one of the coffins.

As for the Yin Nine-Tails and Flying Thunder God Technique on Minato Namikaze, there was no rush now. They weren't going to grow legs and run away.

"Eh... I've been reincarnated with Impure World Reincarnation again.

The Death God didn't take away my soul!"

The moment Kushina opened her eyes after being awakened—having undergone Impure World Reincarnation for the second time—she understood the situation.

"Heh heh, that's right!

Kushina, I'll have to trouble you one last time. Try seeing whether you can use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal again."

Light shone in Feng's eyes as he looked at Kushina with great anticipation.

"Uh... alright."

Kushina looked at her husband, who was still lying in the coffin beside her, but did not refuse.

Being able to snatch Minato's soul from the Death God's grasp without being sealed by the Death God herself

was enough to prove that Feng had accomplished what he said before. Then his claim that he could revive her in the future and let her go find Naruto was no longer an impossible dream.

With that hope, so long as the request was not excessively unreasonable, Kushina was now willing to obey Feng in everything.
