"Um."
The Six-Tails took the Shinigami Mask and then put it on its own face.
The Shinigami Mask and the Six-Tails' body proportions are so exaggerated that they appear quite comical.
Just seconds after the Six-Tails -Six-Tails put on the mask, the phantom of the Shinigami appeared behind it.
Didaze could see Shinigami very clearly.
The Shinigami has a blue face and fangs; he is terrifying.
But Didaze saw eagerness and an intense greed in Shinigami's eyes.
The Shinigami's eyes were basically staring straight at the Six-Tails, not at all like the all-seeing look seen when it's summoned in the anime.
"Summoner..., who do you wish to perish with...?"
The Shinigami, seeing that the Six-Tails hadn't spoken, actually took the initiative to speak!
The voice of Shinigami was like scratching a blackboard with claws, extremely harsh and unpleasant to hear.
I want to destroy him.
Six-Tails took out the Jashin Statue.
Shinigami remained silent, but a fierce glint flashed in his eyes!
At the same time, the Jashin Statue emitted wisps of black energy that shot straight toward the Shinigami!
This aura was incredibly powerful; even Didaze felt he would have difficulty withstanding it.
Shinigami simply opened its mouth wide and swallowed the black mist whole!
However, it was clear that this black energy was not so easy to digest; after swallowing it, Shinigami showed a distinct expression of pain on his face.
But Shinigami quickly returned to normal.
Shinigami continued to open its maw, devouring the black mist bit by bit.
The Jashin Statue remained locked in a stalemate with the Shinigami.
But not long after, the Jashin Statue stopped emitting black smoke.
Didaze vaguely saw a phantom appear behind the Jashin Statue, and then it was swallowed whole by Shinigami!
"This must be an avatar of Jashin..."
Didaze looked at the illusory figure with some uncertainty in his mind.
After all, if it were the true form of Jashin, then that Jashin would be far too weak.
After all, Shinigami shows no signs of fatigue yet, and the Jashin has already been devoured?
To be honest, Didaze didn't quite believe it.
"The contract is complete; your soul is mine now..."
The Shinigami spoke softly, in a voice only the Six-Tails could hear.
Then, the Shinigami opened its huge mouth and swallowed Yin Six-Tails's soul whole!
Didaze seemed to see that the Shinigami's body had noticeably grown taller after swallowing the Yin Six-Tails.
Didaze remained silent; he hadn't expected the Jashin Statue to be so weak, failing to achieve any effect in counterbalancing Shinigami.
"I have reclaimed my consciousness in my Yin form. The current Yin form is merely a mindless soul, so there's no need to worry about it suffering."
Six-Tails seemed to realize what Didaze was thinking and smiled as he spoke to Didaze.
"You were actually able to retract your consciousness?"
Didaze stared wide-eyed at Six-Tails and said.
"It's called a yin form, but it's actually just a clone that's been injected with my dark side; to put it bluntly, it's still a clone."
"Six-Tails spoke," it said.
Didaze suddenly realized.
The Yin Six-Tails and the Yin Nine-Tails are fundamentally different.
One is a true split in two, while the other is merely a larger clone infused with the darker side.
In reality, Yang Six-Tails is still the original body; what was just absorbed was only a clone with half of its power!
"However, your strength has definitely declined; at least in terms of endurance, it's nowhere near what it used to be."
Six-Tails, lying in the mental space, gave Didaze a reminder.
"I expected this, there's no need to worry."
Didaze said with a smile.
He knew that Naruto would travel through time in a little over a year, and if he could absorb the Dragon Vein into himself when he went to Rōran, his strength would immediately rise and even surpass that of the fully evolved Six-Tails.
But there's something even more important now.
That is, to see what kind of power the Jashin Statue is hiding.
Didaze took the Jashin Statue into his hands.
Didaze then channeled his Chakra into the evil Jashin Statue Jashin Statue, beginning to carefully perceive the power it possessed.
"This..."
After a few minutes of investigation, Didaze's eyes widened.
The power possessed by the Jashin Statue truly shocked him.
The abilities of the Jashin Statue can be roughly divided into two types: one is the absorption of Kekkei Genkai.
The absorbed Kekkei Genkai will be directly converted into one's own ability, just like it was innate.
However, the person who absorbs it will die immediately.
However, this ability can only be used once, Didaze doesn't know if it's because the Jashin's true form has left.
Even so, Didaze felt that absorbing Kekkei Genkai's power in one go was incredibly overpowered.
The Jashin Statue also possesses the ability to convert killing into power, at a rate of approximately one-fiftieth.
In other words, Didaze could gain the power of one Jonin by killing fifty Jonin.
This also made Didaze understand what the black aura emanating from the Jashin Statue was; it must have been the power he stored in the Jashin Statue after killing people.
"There seems to be some power stored inside."
Didaze could sense some power within the Jashin Statue, which seemed to be something he had obtained from killing someone in Kirigakure.
At that time, he killed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in Kirigakure, as well as a large number of other ninjas.
Didaze placed his hand on the Jashin Statue and began to absorb its power.
Didaze quickly extracted this power.
"His strength has increased by about one and a half Jonin."
Didaze sensed the Chakra within his body and muttered to himself.
Although Didaze killed a lot of people, they were mostly civilians. The real strongmen were the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and some Genin.
It's already quite good that Didaze can increase his Chakra by one and a half Jonin.
"Try this one..."
Didaze placed his hand on the Jashin Statue again, and the Jashin Statue emitted a burst of black light!
Then, a large amount of black energy appeared around Didaze and enveloped him.
Didaze instantly transformed into a person draped in a cloak and exuding an aura of evil.
This ability transforms Didaze into an emissary of Jashin, emanating the aura of that Jashin, and can also summon the Jashin's phantom to intimidate enemies.
To be honest, I didn't find the phantom of the Jashin god Didaze particularly useful. Frankly, isn't it just a top-tier version of Transformation Technique?
The Jashin Statue clearly contains several other abilities, but because the Jashin's original body is missing, these abilities are also unusable.
Didaze therefore couldn't know what these abilities were, but he didn't feel it was a pity.
After all, based on what we've seen so far, we've already made a profit.
However, Didaze was really struggling with how to absorb a Kekkei Genkai.
Didaze crossed out the Sharingan first, since he had no brothers and the Sharingan without the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was meaningless to him.
The power of the Mangekyō is less than his own strength, so absorbing a Sharingan.
