"Never mind."
Didaze sighed.
Didaze then stepped out the door.
Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!
However, just as Didaze was about to leave, he turned around and unleashed a Great Fire Annihilation instantly!
The massive Fire Style seemed poised to Annihilation everything.
" Sealing Jutsu: Fire Sealing Method: Flame Seal!"
Seeing the sea of fire rushing towards him, the old man immediately Hand Seals and summoned Fire Sealing Method: Flame Seal!
As the old man Hand Seals, a large amount of Chakra erupted, and the sea of fire was absorbed by the Sealing Jutsu, and then all of it was sealed into the scroll by the old man.
"Do we still need to pretend?"
Didaze had already arrived beside the old man and spoke coldly.
How did you find out?
The old man asked without turning his head.
"I don't believe such a powerful Sealing Jutsu could only seal away a piece of trash."
Didaze said.
Although the seal weakened over time, Didaze could still discern what level of Sealing Jutsu it was at the very beginning.
This is a Sealing Jutsu close to S-rank, and judging from the old man's condition, it can put the sealed person into a state of suspended animation, allowing them to survive without food.
However, in the original story, because no one came to the Land of Whirlpools, the old man never saw anyone until the seal naturally collapsed.
Therefore, they will most likely starve to death after the seal is broken.
"As expected of the person from Iwagakure who inherited Dust Release, let's make our move."
The old man sneered; he had already sensed the gap between himself and Didaze from the Fire Style he had just used.
Didaze only used a Fire Style, yet he had to use a large amount of Chakra to block it.
The opponent had just used Dust Release to open the door, and he was already struggling to withstand it even before the Dust Release was used. So the old man gave up on resisting and sat down on the ground, ready to die.
In his view, all Five Great Nations were the same, including the Land of Fire; none of them were good.
"Kill you? I have no intention of killing you. On the contrary, I will let you see the remnants of the Land of Whirlpools."
Didaze looked at the old man and spoke.
" Kushina... Kushina ran away?!"
The old man suddenly became very agitated, grabbed Didaze's arm, and asked a question in a trembling voice.
"She ran away and is doing well in the Land of Fire, but the person I'm showing you isn't her."
Didaze nodded, then shook his head.
"Are there other survivors in the Land of Whirlpools?"
The old man was taken aback.
"Of course she is, she's in Iwagakure right now, but if you want to see her, you'll have to do me a favor."
Didaze, seeing that the old man had fallen for his trick, immediately pressed his advantage.
What do you want?
The old man didn't even ask Didaze what he wanted to do; instead, he directly asked what he wanted.
He knew perfectly well that Didaze had come to the Land of Whirlpools to find something.
Otherwise, what reason would a master of Dust Release like Didaze have to come to the Land of Whirlpools?
"I'm going to the ancestral home of the Uzumaki Clan to find the Shinigami Mask."
Didaze stated his goal directly.
" The Shinigami Mask? What do you need that for? Releasing the Reaper Death Seal with that thing will still be deadly!"
The old man said with a frown.
He was grateful to Iwagakure for taking in the survivors of the Land of Whirlpools, and so he gave Didaze a friendly reminder.
"You don't need to know that. You just need to help me find it. I won't risk my life."
Didaze spoke to the old man.
"Okay."
The old man reluctantly agreed to Didaze's request.
Led by the old man, Didaze soon arrived at the ancestral land of the Uzumaki Clan.
During the journey, Didaze also learned who the old man really was.
The old man's name was Uzumaki Hiko, and he was an elder of the Land of Whirlpools.
He had wanted to go too, when everyone else was fighting desperately.
But the clan chief stopped him and sealed him away.
Furthermore, the clan leader placed Uzumaki Hiko in a place where his aura could be isolated.
Furthermore, it reinforced the seal on Uzumaki Hiko.
The main purpose was to keep Uzumaki Hiko alive, so as to preserve the last legacy of the Uzumaki Clan.
As for why young people shouldn't be allowed to go?
That's because the elders have a complete set of Sealing Jutsu in their minds, while young people don't have that many Sealing Jutsu in their minds.
The clan chief's idea was good, but for some reason, the gate was completely sealed off.
If nothing unexpected happens, in the original world, the moment the seal on Uzumaki Hiko was broken, his life began its countdown.
Because Uzumaki Hiko had absolutely no power to break through this stone gate.
The methods for opening the door that the clan leader had previously left for Uzumaki Hiko have all been erased, turning what could have been a place for Uzumaki Hiko to live into a place that will trap and kill him.
As for who sealed the door, Uzumaki Hiko didn't know.
This made Didaze involuntarily think of something dark.
As everyone knows, the one who did it is Black Zetsu, though we don't know who did it.
"This is the ancestral home of the Uzumaki Clan."
Uzumaki Hiko led Didaze to a shrine.
" The Shinigami Mask!"
Didaze immediately spotted the Shinigami Mask placed in the most conspicuous spot.
The Shinigami Mask has two yellowish-brown horns and a mouthful of sharp teeth, making it look incredibly terrifying.
"Etc."
Uzumaki Hiko stopped Didaze, who was about to remove the Shinigami Mask.
Then, Uzumaki Hiko muttered something unintelligible while looking at the Shinigami Mask Shinigami Mask before finally removing it.
What are they doing?
Didaze watched Uzumaki Hiko's actions and asked him curiously.
"Actually, I don't know either. I just took the Shinigami Mask according to the method left by our ancestors."
Uzumaki Hiko gave a wry smile.
The ancestor only instructed that the Shinigami Mask be taken in this way, but didn't explain why, so Uzumaki Hiko truly didn't know.
But since they are one's own ancestors, they certainly wouldn't harm one.
So Uzumaki Hiko took the Jashin Mask using the same method.
" The Shinigami summoned using this mask is stronger than the Shinigami Reaper Death Seal, but it also has its drawbacks."
Just as Didaze was looking at the Shinigami Mask, Uzumaki Hiko continued speaking.
"Summoning Shinigami requires a dance, and the dance is quite long, which is why the Shinigami Mask is not as effective as the Reaper Death Seal."
"That's what Uzumaki Hiko said."
The Reaper Death Seal is instantaneous, while the Shinigami Mask requires a long incantation.
Even if the Shinigami is stronger than the Reaper Death Seal, so what? By the time the dance is over, the person will have vanished without a trace.
"Dancing is mainly to attract the Shinigami's attention. The Reaper Death Seal directly summons a clone of the Shinigami, while the Shinigami Mask summons the Shinigami himself. But if I were to summon him, the Shinigami would descend immediately."
The Six-Tails spoke to Didaze in the spiritual space.
Is that so?
Didaze suddenly realized.
No wonder they said there was a difference; it turns out one was a clone and the other was the original!
The fact that the Six-Tails said it would immediately descend upon summoning the Shinigami indicates that the Tailed Beast's Chakra is among the brightest of all the summoners to the Shinigami, making it completely unnecessary for it to dance to attract the Shinigami's attention.
