Nine-Tails, who was suppressed by Wood Release·Adamantine Summoning Wood, let out an extremely miserable howl.
I saw Death God's ghost hand that penetrated Minato Namikaze's chest and grabbed it suddenly!
A terrifying suction force that cannot be described in words exploded!
The mountain-like Nine-Tails Demon Fox, the notorious incarnation of disaster, had no room to struggle under this grasp. Its body composed of pure Chakra was torn in half!
Half is Yang Release Chakra, which represents Nine-Tails hatred and tyranny.
The other half is Yin Release Chakra, which represents the coldness and spirit of Nine-Tails.
Yang Release's Nine-Tails Chakra turned into a crimson torrent, was roughly pulled by Death God's hand, and forced into Minato Namikaze's body, sealing it together with his soul that was about to be swallowed!
The other half of Yin Release, Nine-Tails Chakra, under the control of Minato Namikaze's final will, turned into another torrent, and through the spell of Eight Trigrams Seal, it rushed crazily towards the baby lying in the barrier, who was sleeping peacefully just now, but was awakened by this earth-shattering incident and crying loudly - Naruto Uzumaki!
"Whoa--! Whoaaah--!"
The baby's cry and Nine-Tails's unwilling roar mixed together to form a tragic and cruel symphony.
The golden Eight Trigrams Seal array flashed away on Naruto's young belly.
Ceremony, completed.
The soul of Minato Namikaze, at the moment when the final seal was completed, was mercilessly pulled into the abyss-like belly by Death God, and there was no more sound.
The last remaining expression on his face was not pain, but a feeling of relief and... please, looking in the direction of Senju Chen.
Everything happens in the blink of an eye.
From Senju Chen being knocked away, to Nine-Tails being torn apart, to the completion of the seal, and Minato Namikaze's soul being swallowed up, the whole process was so fast that Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other Anbu who were watching did not even have time to react.
They could only watch helplessly as their young Fourth Hokage, known as Konoha's future, was just... gone.
However, just when everyone thought everything would be over.
The phantom of Death God who completed the contract did not disappear immediately like the legend.
Its huge, ominous figure seemed to slowly turn its head.
Those empty eyes, which did not belong to any living creature, passed over everyone and the messy battlefield, and landed accurately on Senju Chen, who had just struggled to get up from the ground and was half-kneeling on the ground due to the heavy damage to his soul, breathing heavily.
This time, the gaze is no longer just "observation".
Death God's gaze gave people the feeling of eternal coldness and emptiness.
But at this moment, Senju Chen seemed to "see" a hint of emotion in Death God's eyes.
It was a kind of high-altitude, like a god looking down at ants...
ridicule.
As if to say:
"A mere mortal."
"Dare you... disobey the gods?"
That silent ridicule was like the sharpest ice pick, piercing into the deepest part of Senju Chen's soul.
It hurts more than having your soul torn apart!
It's colder than being deprived of life force!
Senju Chen raised his head suddenly, and his eyes, which seemed a little dizzy due to the trauma to his soul, stared into those mocking, empty eyes.
His lips murmured, but no sound came out.
And that huge Death God shadow, after leaving this last "eye" full of contempt, began to slowly fade away, like water vapor melting into the air, and finally disappeared completely.
It seemed as if its short stay just now was just to leave an unforgettable lesson to this challenger who didn't know the heights and heights of the world.
"Pfft..."
Senju Chen could no longer hold on, and another mouthful of blood spurted out.
His body was weaker than ever due to the loss of vitality.
His soul, due to the confrontation with the rules and the final impact of Minato Namikaze, was full of cracks and in great pain.
But none of these could compare to the cold, burning anger in his heart at this moment.
He lost.
A complete defeat.
His carefully planned plan that could perfectly solve everything was completely disrupted by Minato Namikaze's "sacrifice for love" and his own "recklessness".
He tried to challenge the rules, but was swatted back like a fly by the incarnation of the rules, and was even ridiculed.
Minato Namikaze finally died.
Kushina's life is like a candle in the wind.
Naruto finally became Jinchūriki.
Everything seemed to be back on track with the "plot" of the original work that he knew.
Faced with his various plans and calculations, the result was the same ending as the original work. Senju Chen fell silent at first, and then suddenly lowered his head and laughed.
"Hehe... hehe... haha... hahaha..."
The laughter was low at first, like blood foam stuck in the throat, with uncontrollable self-mockery.
He is laughing Minato Namikaze.
Laugh at his stupid, self-righteous heroism.
Laughing, he would rather believe in an illusory meeting after death than believe in his living "brother" who can create miracles.
Senju Chen is laughing at himself too.
I laugh at myself for naively thinking that with a little foresight, I can change the "destiny" of this world.
Laughing at myself, I was like a clown, jumping up and down on the stage, but in the end I was kicked off the stage by a backstage manager named "Plot" without even seeing the audience.
"Little Chen? Are you... are you okay?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the crazy-looking Senju Chen and took a tentative step closer.
The surrounding Anbu members were even more threatened. The young man in front of him who had just torn apart Four Red Yang Formation was in a really weird state.
However, Senju Chen's laughter became louder and louder, more and more unrestrained.
"Haha... hahahahahaha!"
He laughed so hard that tears flowed from his eyes, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
God?
Rules?
Plot?
Go ride a horse!
Do you think this is the end? Do you think I will admit defeat?
Do you think you won?
No.
You just succeeded in irritating me.
Death God Right, let's see...
Senju Chen's laughter stopped abruptly.
Then he slowly straightened up.
He casually reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His pupils, which had been dilated due to the severe trauma to his soul, regained focus. However, in that focus, there was no longer any gentleness and calmness of the past, only a kind of heart-stopping, pure coldness and madness.
His diameter passed over the frightened Hiruzen Sarutobi, towards the dying Kushina, and Naruto, who was lying in his infancy and had just become Jinchūriki.
