There!
A being that ordinary people could neither sense nor see—emaciated, with disheveled white hair, crimson oni horns, and a short blade in its mouth that glinted with ominous cold light!
It wore a loose white robe, emanating an aura of death and contracts so dense it seemed impossible to dispel!
It was the God of Death summoned by the Reaper Death Seal!
At this moment, this evil spirit, which should have been harvesting the Great Elder's soul, had not vanished even after its contract target was interrupted.
Its hollow, greedy eyes were fixed on Neji, as though it had discovered prey even more delicious and nourishing than an Uzumaki soul!
One of its claw-like ghostly hands gestured with the short blade, as if hesitating over where to cut in order to take Neji's soul, which radiated such alluring tricolor light!
When it saw Neji's gaze pierce through the void and land precisely on it, a trace of surprise seemed to flash through the God of Death's empty eye sockets before turning into an even greedier, ferocious grin.
It seemed angered by Neji's ability to "see" it. No longer hesitating, it abruptly removed the short blade from its mouth and slashed viciously at Neji through the void!
There was no blade light, no sound of air being torn.
Yet an icy, bone-piercing sense of fatal danger from the level of his soul instantly gripped Neji's heart!
It was as though that slash had not targeted his body, but sought to sever the thread of fate itself!
"Space Leap!"
Neji's pupils constricted sharply, and he did not hesitate for even an instant!
Shikkotsu Forest Immortal Power surged wildly within him. His figure blurred in an instant, leaving an afterimage behind as his true body appeared in the air dozens of meters
