chapter 82 part 3
Mobility, long-range attacks, powerful assaults, unpredictability, and other aspects were all quite developed.
"I used to envy powerful assault Jutsu Formulas like Rasengan and Chidori, which break through defenses with a single point. But now I don't need to. My Corpse Release: Reaper Death Seal is only stronger, not weaker, than those two Jutsu. Of course, the cost also seems a bit higher, consuming Consciousness in addition to Chakra..."
But then again, aside from special cases like Naruto, who can create countless Rasengan in a single battle, normal users of Rasengan and Chidori would collapse from exhaustion after only a few uses.
Tsukasa Kaede using the Corpse Release version of the Reaper Death Seal a few times, paying some cost, was actually not much different from the total number of times a normal person could use Rasengan or Chidori.
He looked at the Reaper once again.
The Reaper, unwillingly, extracted a blob of Tsukasa Kaede's Consciousness from the Jutsu-performing Zombie and reluctantly swallowed it — it seemed tasteless and hard to eat.
Lord Reaper had never suffered such indignity in its life! It did a job for someone, only to be reduced to eating a mere fragment of Consciousness? Never mind that it didn't inflict much damage on the enemy; that was due to the Jutsu-performing Zombie being too weak. The Reaper didn't acknowledge that, but it truly felt it had been fooled.
Then, feeling somewhat displeased, it muttered incomprehensible words, and its massive form gradually dissipated. It was leaving.
"Is it gone? Aside from possibly cursing a bit, it seems willing to follow the rules. I like dealing with orderly Gods the most."
Tsukasa Kaede was very satisfied, feeling he had developed another ingenious supplementary Jutsu Formula. His mood brightened considerably.
Well then, next, it was time to completely eliminate Hanzo's threat.
"It seems your Summoning Animal isn't in a great situation, Lord Hanzo."
Tsukasa Kaede watched Hanzo from a distance and said.
Hanzo stared intently at the Jutsu-performing Zombie that had suddenly collapsed, and combining it with Tsukasa Kaede's series of strange actions just now, he vaguely realized what had happened.
"You always manage to pull out Jutsu that surprise me. Before long, you'll grow into a powerhouse who shakes the Ninja World... But can you tell me what exactly you did to my Summoning Animal?" Hanzo asked.
"Given your experience, you must have already guessed, right? If there are no physical injuries, then where it's hurt isn't obvious?" Tsukasa Kaede said indifferently.
"Hmph, as expected, it's an attack on its Soul..."
Hanzo's heart pounded. Who would have thought this Konoha genius would pull out such a Jutsu with a flick of his hand? This must be a Forbidden Jutsu, right? "It seems every Jutsu you use is a Forbidden Jutsu, yet you look perfectly healthy and alive... I have a strong premonition that the future Ninja World will be very exciting, and countless people will be unlucky."
"Provided you can live to see that future."
Tsukasa Kaede confirmed that the Reaper had departed. With a flick of his hand, he activated Void Realm second stage. After many Zombies once again broke through the poison gas and approached the Salamander, he Summoned one of the Zombies he had touched.
"As you can see, I touched three Corpses in total, meaning I can still perform two Forbidden Jutsu."
The second Zombie, imbued with Tsukasa Kaede's Consciousness, performed the Reaper Death Seal and touched the Salamander.
This time, Hanzo watched even more closely, not even bothering with the fate of his own Summoning Animal.
In Tsukasa Kaede's Sensory Perception, the Reaper had returned, also drooling, but upon seeing the familiar place and familiar person, its movements halted, and the entire God fell silent.
A hint of incredulity appeared in its fierce eyes — was this something a normal human could do?
"We meet again. Now, please cut off another part of the enemy's Soul."
The first time was novel, the second familiar; in the future, it would become even more familiar. Tsukasa Kaede was already quite adept, controlling the Zombie to once again extend its Spirit Hand from its abdomen, Sealing a portion of the Salamander's Soul.
Strange, writhing Runes appeared on the Zombie's abdomen, then solidified completely.
The Reaper still wanted to demand Tsukasa Kaede's Soul directly, but it remained restricted by the Jutsu-performing Zombie. In the end, it reluctantly swallowed another portion of Tsukasa Kaede's Consciousness.
It smacked its lips.
It ate, yet it felt like it hadn't eaten.
Not eating it would be a pity and violate the Jutsu Formula's rules, but eating it felt like not eating at all, somewhat disgusting.
A hint of bewilderment subtly appeared on the Reaper's face. It had been a long time since a human had summoned it. It had eagerly rushed over twice, drooling with excitement, but why had it turned out like this now?
Was this right? Calling it over to fight, then giving it nothing afterwards — well, actually, it did get a hair pulled — but this method was simply too insulting to a God.
The Reaper wanted to do something, but its barren mind couldn't come up with any good ideas. It mainly acted on instinct and was subject to the restrictions of the Reaper Death Seal Jutsu Formula, forced to abide by the rules.
And so, the Reaper left again. This God had a strong premonition that it would be back soon.
"What a diligent Reaper. Among all the supernatural entities on this planet, the Reaper is probably the most principled one... Well, then, I can confidently and boldly bully it from now on."
