Everyone froze as they watched the corpses surge out.
Anything steeped in such an aura of death was clearly bad news.
Moreover, the auras emanating from some of the corpses were rather unusual.
Their clothing, in particular, still bore distinctive features despite being torn to shreds.
Those wearing forehead protectors were especially easy to identify at a glance.
"That's... my uncle!"
"He died in the Third Shinobi World War!"
"That one is my great-grandfather! He died protecting his comrades in the Second Shinobi World War!"
People kept recognizing the corpses.
But once they identified them, only one emotion remained in their eyes-rage!
Nothing enraged them more than someone who toyed with the dead!
"You merely killed one of my many followers. What have you got to be so smug about?!"
"I am the Reaper!"
"The end to which all things return!"
"Today, I shall let you experience the power of the undead!"
The Reaper spread his arms.
His frenzied army of the dead swiftly charged toward the shinobi.
"Shukaku!"
Gaara suddenly stepped forward and woke the sleeping Shukaku.
After forming hand seals, he pressed both hands against the ground.
The grassland instantly turned into a desert.
As vast quantities of sand appeared, the corpses began sinking into quicksand.
With the added power of sealing, all those corpses were buried in the quicksand.
"Matatabi!"
Yugito Nii joined the fight as well.
Senbon appeared in her hands, while the Two-Tails' chakra enveloped her body.
Every senbon she shot caused a corpse to burn in soul flame.
"Reaper, I should really address you by another title."
"Miluo Void Lord of the Sage Land, the Void Sage!"
Uchiha Kazama spoke with a smile.
At the same time, he raised a finger, and a stone tablet appeared before him.
