With a slight sweep of his senses, Natsuki discovered that Yashiro's corpse was continuously emitting a strange ripple.
The ripple had no effect on Natsuki, yet it constantly deceived his senses.
It made Natsuki feel, on a cognitive level, that the corpse...
Smelled delicious?
Natsuki suddenly recalled the white liquid they had consumed during their last invasion of Boruto Spacetime.
It had carried this exact scent.
So this was what they ate!?
Damn it, that was disgusting.
Everyone present had lost their minds.
The others unconsciously began moving toward Yashiro's corpse.
Whether it was Hashirama, Minato, Naruto, or Sasuke, all of them staggered toward Yashiro's corpse.
The rationality and greed on Orochimaru's face kept alternating.
Natsuki frowned and spread his five fingers.
Empty Coffin.
This time, he used Empty Coffin around himself.
He separated himself and everyone else with space.
But even with a layer of space between them, it merely weakened the attraction. No one else regained consciousness.
But at this moment, markings similar to Curse Marks suddenly appeared on Orochimaru's body.
Orochimaru's face was filled with greed.
Yet his voice sounded mechanical as he said, "Natsuki, destroy it."
Within the Empty Coffin, Natsuki created another, smaller Empty Coffin and sealed Yashiro's corpse inside.
Then he continuously compressed it. After it shrank into a tiny point, Natsuki flicked his finger with a soft snap.
A Space Devour appeared there.
But to Natsuki's surprise, Space Devour failed for the first time.
After using Space Devour, Natsuki could still sense that the corpse remained there.
It existed atop the hollow in that layer of space Natsuki had torn away.
Natsuki focused slightly and began extracting all the Foundation of Space from the area where Space Devour had appeared.
He turned that place from emptiness into nothingness.
Only then was Yashiro's corpse
