Shortly after, holding the numerous documents and a Kirigakure's forehead protector given by Sora, Pakura walked out.
But this time, she wasn't leaving as a prisoner, but as a naturalized Kirigakure's Ninja, and a future Kazekage's candidate.
Next, she would recuperate in Kirigakure for a while, wait for Sora to apply the Blut to her, and then return to Sunagakure to compete for the Kazekage's position.
But that had nothing to do with Sora.
The mere position of Kazekage wasn't his battlefield, and he had no interest in it!
Instead, after seeing Pakura off, Sora had already returned to the secret base!
In the secret base, Minato had made all the preparations!
Before him was a criminal freshly extracted from prison… this was the target he would use for the Dead Demon Consuming Seal later!
Seeing Sora arrive, Minato's gaze held a question.
Seeing this, Sora nodded: "Begin!"
"Understood, Soul King-sama!" Minato took a deep breath and began forming hand seals rapidly!
"Snake - Boar - Ram - Rabbit - Dog - Rat - Bird - Horse - Snake!" The eight hand seals for the Dead Demon Consuming Seal flashed by!
Then, a chilling wind gusted through the area.
Next, to Sora's surprise, a disheveled old man, dressed in traditional Otsutsuki robes, though somewhat tattered, and bearing a strong resemblance to the Sage of Six Paths, appeared behind Minato!
"So, this is the Shinigami of the Ninja World!" Looking at the old man, Sora took two steps forward, observing him closely.
Under Sora's surprised gaze, as if sensing his observation, the Shinigami old man slightly raised his eyes and looked towards Sora!
A faint, almost imperceptible sense of crisis settled over Sora.
Sora had a premonition.
If he were caught by the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, it might take some effort to break free!
However, Sora wasn't the target.
"Minato, control this Shinigami!" Sora said coldly.
"Yes, sir!" Minato nodded.
Controlling the Shinigami meant controlling its target.
And as for making it change targets, wasn't that simple?
Minato used a Shunpo to appear in front of the prisoner, selecting him as the target for the Dead Demon Consuming Seal!
The next second, just like in the Anime, the Shinigami reached out from behind, its hand passing through Minato's stomach and piercing into the prisoner!
The deathly still eyes fixed on Sora shifted away!
Seeing this, Sora nodded thoughtfully, "Although he looks like the Sage of Six Paths, he's actually just an unconscious entity, or an AI program with the lowest level of intelligence?"
"Interesting. This Ninja World's Shinigami... I want to see what kind of entity you really are! And whether you fall under my jurisdiction as the Soul King!"
Saying this, Sora reached out towards the Shinigami.
Then, under the Shinigami's emotionless, thoughtless, yet somewhat subconsciously puzzled gaze, Sora grabbed the Shinigami's wrist!
"Bakudo #99, Bankin!"
"Prologue: Halting Wraps! Refrain: Serial Hundred Bolts! Finale: Fully Prohibited Great Seal!"
Consecutive incantations rang out!
Amidst the incantations, the vast Reiatsu within Sora surged forth, finally transforming into linked restraints that bound the Shinigami firmly!
However, looking at the Shinigami bound tightly, Sora was still not satisfied.
"Bakudo #4, Hainawa!"
"Bakudo #61, Rikujokoro!" (Six Rods Prison of Light
"Bakudo #75, Gochutekkan!"
"Bakudo #79, Kuyo Shibari!"
Sora continuously chanted at high speed, applying every usable Bakudo he could.
Only after truly binding the Shinigami into a rice dumpling did Sora nod in satisfaction.
He looked at Minato: "Alright, Minato, it's ready now. Release the Jutsu. I want to see where this Shinigami actually comes from!"
"Yes, sir!" Minato nodded and released the Dead Demon Consuming Seal!
The Shinigami, clutching the soul of the unfortunate prisoner, pulled it out.
Simultaneously, it reached for Minato's soul.
Seeing this, Sora frowned with displeased look. "Trying to take someone right in front of me? Ridiculous!"
With a flash of his blade, the Shinigami's barely mobile hand was severed by Sora!
However, this Shinigami seemed truly devoid of intelligence. Even with its hand severed, it remained unmoved.
But the Jutsu had ended, and the Shinigami always had to leave.
Normally, if unbound, it could leave directly.
But now, under Sora's layer upon layer of restraints, it couldn't!
Thus, under the stunned gazes of Sora and even Minato, a portal, seeming leading to the Pure Land, opened up behind the Shinigami!
From the Pure Land's portal, incomparable suction force arrived!
Faced with this suction, Minato was almost instantly pulled in!
Fortunately, Sora grabbed him at that moment!
The suction force that was unsolvable for Minato was manageable for him!
However, Sora didn't resist for long.
Looking at the Pure Land's portal, Sora thought for a moment, then tossed Minato to the side, and with the Ninja World's Shinigami in tow, jumped right in!
