Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 159 Death and Death!
That's how love is.

It will cause the hearts of kind-hearted children who have peace in their hearts to collapse, and will start a war that is big enough to sweep the entire world.

It will cause the most outstanding medical ninja in the entire ninja world to suffer from hemophobia.

same.

It can also cause the most thoughtful people to make 'impulsive' and 'stupid' choices.

Sacrificing Kushina in exchange for an end to the Nine-Tails Rebellion was undoubtedly the best choice, but the impulse of love made Minato Namikaze, the most self-thinking person, make an impulsive decision.

"I can't sit back and watch you die like this, Kushina."

Namikaze Minato gently held Kushina's cheek: "I will help you fulfill your wish. I will seal all your remaining chakra into Naruto's body. In this way, as long as Naruto grows up and comes into contact with your chakra, he will be able to meet you."

"As for the Kyuubi, that is my responsibility as the Hokage, so leave it to me."

"Watergate……"

Hearing what Minato Namikaze said, Kushina's eyes widened in an instant, and she subconsciously said: "No, in your current state... Wait, Minato, you want it!"

"No, absolutely not!"

"Konoha still needs you, Naruto needs you, everyone needs you, you can't do this!" Kushina said loudly: "You and I know the consequences of using the Shikigami Seal. I can't let Naruto lose his mother and his father at the same time on the first day of his birth. You can't do this to him!"

"Besides, you are the Hokage of Konoha. Konoha cannot live without you!"

"But without you, what's the point of living?"

Namikaze Minato looked at Uzumaki Kushina with tenderness on his face: "The village still has the Sandaime. Although it is a bit unfair to Naruto, I believe that Naruto will get better under everyone's care."

"Teacher Jiraiya once said in his book The Legend of the Strong Ninja that only by sharpening one's will and training one's mind can one grow into a truly strong person. We named him Naruto, isn't it because we want him to bring peace to the ninja world in the future? I believe that Naruto is the son of prophecy mentioned by Teacher Jiraiya. I believe that Naruto in the future can really become the protagonist in the teacher's book!"

"But, but..."

Kushina hesitated to speak.

The starting points of a father and a mother are always different.

Compared to being the 'protagonist', Kushina didn't care too much. What she really cared about was whether Naruto could live a good life in the future, whether he could grow up peacefully, and then marry a virtuous wife and live a stable life.

"and……"

A look of determination emerged in Namikaze Minato's eyes. While forming seals with his hands, he spoke in a deep voice: "The Nine-Tails is too important to Konoha. If you follow your method, Konoha will completely lose the Nine-Tails!"

"I am the Hokage of Konoha, I need to be responsible for this village and country!"

Along with Minato's voice and movements, several figures appeared, and the leader was the belated Third Hokage.

"That seal is..." As soon as he arrived, he witnessed the seal in Minato's hand. Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils contracted and he exclaimed.

"Shit seal!"

With a light shout, a gloomy chakra emanated from Minato Namikaze's body.

The next moment, a pale, almost invisible figure appeared and quickly condensed behind him, forming the image of a white evil ghost.

He held a blade in his mouth and a string of Buddhist beads in his empty hand. Waves of cold air emanated from him and kept pouring into Minato Namikaze's body, as if the next moment, the short blade in his mouth would cut open Minato Namikaze's soul!
"For Naruto's future, for Konoha's future." Namikaze Minato glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen who had arrived late, his face was extremely determined, and he put his hands together: "...I will seal the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body, along with our chakras."

"In this way, in the future, you and I should be able to see what Naruto looks like when he grows up."

"Minato..." Uzumaki Kushina's face was full of rejection. She didn't want her husband to die like this, because that not only meant the death of her most beloved person, but also meant that her child would become an orphan without a father or a mother!

But she had no choice.

Just as Minato Namikaze said, he is the Hokage, he has a heavy responsibility, he has a village, and he has reasons to do this!
he is……

The Fourth Hokage!

"I'm going to start."

Namikaze Minato whispered, and the flow of chakra suddenly increased.

As the chakra was activated, the 'God of Death' behind him also changed.

As if he had sensed that there were delicious souls to be harvested, this god of death, like Orochimaru, excitedly stuck out his long tongue, and held the short blade in his mouth in his hand. At the same time, he slowly raised his other hand, immersed it into Minato Namikaze's body, and grabbed Minato Namikaze's soul in his hand.

To summon the god of death, no matter whether the spell is successful or not, and whether or not you can achieve a satisfactory result, it will cost you your own soul.

With his soul bound, Minato Namikaze felt a strange and cold feeling.

But now is not the time to think about these things. What he needs to do is to use the power of the god of death behind him to seal the Nine-Tailed Fox!
"Come on, Death!"

Along with Minato Namikaze's thoughts and chakra, the god of death behind him also raised his hand and, with the help of the summoner's body, grabbed towards the target.

Namikaze Minato groaned, and suddenly felt a cold breath passing through his abdomen. A hand of death that outsiders could not see suddenly attacked the Nine-Tails and hit its body instantly.

"Asshole, damned Fourth Hokage!"

A powerful pulling force was felt, and the Nine-Tailed Fox, which was regarded as the target, saw the terrifying existence floating behind Minato Namikaze. It roared in fear and tried its best to resist.

But at this moment, the Nine-Tails was tightly bound by Kushina's diamond shackles. Even though Kushina was extremely weak at the moment, the final seal that could cost her life was not so easy to break free from.

The Nine-Tailed Fox was unable to break free, which was like fish on a sticky board to the God of Death. The next moment, a pale Nine-Tailed Fox soul was pulled out by the hands of the God of Death!
"Come on, Kyuubi!"

"seal!"

Namikaze Minato looked determined and with a low shout, he controlled the God of Death to forcibly seal half of the Nine-Tails' soul, along with its chakra, into his own body.

A burning sensation came from the abdomen, and at the same time, there seemed to be some terrifying existence in the body, as if it could tear me apart from the inside at any time.

"What a heavy chakra..."

Namikaze Minato gritted his teeth and used his remaining chakra to suppress half of the Nine-Tails' body. On his abdomen, a pattern representing a sealing formation appeared.

Wow…

There was a sound of chains falling, and the Nine-Tailed Fox, which had lost half of its body, shrank rapidly, causing the originally tight chains to loosen a little.

"Is it really that move?"

Seeing this, the Third Hokage's eyes were heavy. Knowing the cost of that move, he knew very well what Namikaze Minato would encounter next.

Behind him, several Konoha ninjas arrived and witnessed the scene. One of them said, "But the Nine-Tails is still there. Although it has become much smaller, it has not been completely sealed yet?"

"No, Minato's idea is not just to get rid of the Nine-Tails, what he wants to do is to keep the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki back in Konoha!"

The Third Hokage noticed Minato's actions and took a deep breath: "And the new Nine-Tails container... is that child!"

With the current power of Minato Namikaze and Kushina, it is impossible to completely seal the entire Nine-Tails into Naruto's body. Not only is it beyond their own strength, but it will also be extremely difficult for Naruto to suppress the Nine-Tails in the future.

Once the Jinchūriki goes berserk, the future of Konoha and Naruto will probably pay an extremely painful price.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze chose to take away half of the Nine-Tails' chakra and soul power. Although this weakened the Nine-Tails' power to a certain extent, it also provided an additional level of security for Naruto and Konoha.

But the fear is that Minato and Kushina are not in a position to do this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to enter, but the space around them seemed to have an invisible barrier that blocked them out.

"Boundary?"

Inside the barrier, Namikaze Minato waved his arms forcefully, trying to resist the discomfort of the Nine-Tailed Fox entering his body. He changed the seals in his hands, and slapped the ground with his palm, and a baby altar with burning candles appeared.

"The next step is the seal of the Eight Diagrams..."

The tall Nine-Tails was watching this scene from high above. After seeing Minato Namikaze put Naruto on the altar, his eyes revealed an angry look, "The altar for sealing... You bastard Fourth Hokage, you actually want to seal me again, and seal me into that brat?!"

Jiuwei knew everything very well, and could see what these sinister guys were trying to do.

Although it had lost half of its strength, the Nine-Tailed Fox still struggled hard, extending its sharp claws from the Diamond Blockade.

Below, Kushina coughed, blood gushing out uncontrollably. She had reached her limit, and coupled with the Nine-Tails' struggle, she couldn't even continue to maintain the power of the Diamond Seal. "Kushina!"

Minato Namikaze looked worried and hurried forward to support him.

But at this moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes focused, and it transformed into a top timing warrior. Its sharp claws broke through the air and its target was Naruto on the altar!

"Pfft!"

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, blood splattered everywhere, but the Nine-Tailed Fox's sharp claws stopped in front of Naruto.

The blood on it dripped onto his young body, and standing in front of him were none other than Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki!
The Nine-Tails' sharp claws were blocked by their bodies, and that's why Naruto was able to survive.

"Cough...cough..."

Kushina coughed, blood flowing out of the corners of her mouth uncontrollably, but she smiled.

"Perhaps this is what is called the responsibility of a parent... Naruto..."

Namikaze Minato gently hugged Kushina in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, it is the responsibility of parents... Next, it is the final gossip seal... Kushina, I am afraid I will not see you again in the future, just say what you want to say..."

"Naruto……"

"As moving as this scene is, I have to stop for a moment."

A sudden sound suddenly rang out within the special barrier, and three pure white figures broke through the air under the astonished eyes of everyone and suddenly appeared within the barrier.

The familiar voice and the special costumes made Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki look puzzled, while Sarutobi Hiruzen and others outside the barrier widened their eyes.

"That costume..."

"It's Seireitei, damn bastards, what do these guys want to do, are they going to attack the Nine-Tails?!"

"Damn it, we have to stop them."

As long as the Nine-Tails is completely sealed, everything will be over. Even if Kushina and Minato are sacrificed, Konoha at least still has the Nine-Tails.

But if the Nine-Tails was also stolen, or the enemy took this opportunity to strike Konoha again...

"Water without moonlight..."

Namikaze Minato raised his head with difficulty. Mizunoe Yue, who had been with him in the Land of Iron not long ago, now appeared in Konoha!

Looking at the clothes of the other people, Hozuki Gengetsu on the side raised his hand and greeted him, which made the expression on Namikaze Minato's face become more complicated.

He coughed lightly a few times, and blood flowed out of his mouth. The Grim Reaper's scythe behind him seemed to be able to sever the connection between his spirit and body in his hands at any time, completely ending Minato Namikaze's life.

"Is the Seireitei really under your control? Why did you come here today?..."

"Why, are you worried that I will take advantage of the opportunity to capture the Nine-Tails and destroy Konoha?"

Ye Dan smiled: "Although Jiuwei has some value, please don't get me wrong. If I really wanted to do this, I could have done it on weekdays. There is no need to come out now."

"Too……"

Namikaze Minato panted weakly, his eyes dimmed: "Your power... is no longer in the same dimension as mine..."

"Hey, self-awareness is a very difficult thing. You have self-awareness, no wonder you can defeat Orochimaru in the Hokage selection." Ye gave Minato Namikaze an affirmative look and smiled lightly, "Don't worry, my coming here has nothing to do with you. Just continue to do your thing, and I won't disturb you."

"Isn't it us..." Namikaze Minato was stunned and subconsciously thought about the current situation, while at the same time thinking about the rumors about Soul Society in the ninja world.

If it wasn't the Nine-Tailed Fox and the two of them, then what else could be in this place that could attract the attention of this monster-like guy like Mizunoe Tsukiyomi?
Wait, could it be that!

Minato Namikaze's eyes suddenly widened. Although this possibility was extremely low, after eliminating all impossibilities, the remaining answer could only be the correct answer.

He followed Mizunoe Yue's gaze and saw that this guy's attention was not on him or the Nine-Tailed Fox at all. Instead, he was looking straight behind him!
"You can actually... see the God of Death..." Namikaze Minato was extremely shocked.

The god of death is special. He is the master who controls the soul and is an existence that ordinary people cannot see.

Except for the caster and target of the Shiki Seal, no one present, including Uzumaki Kushina, could see the existence of the God of Death. But at this moment, the look in Mizunotsuki's eyes...

“Oh, the God of Death…”

Mizuno Yue looked at the hideous shadow floating behind Minato Namikaze. He didn't even need to analyze anything, as he could already hear the impatient reminder from Brother Tongzi in his mind.

[Special spirit 'Death' detected]

[The ferryman of the netherworld, the harvester of souls]

[Side quest has been triggered:]

[Mission (5000000): Successfully kill the special spirit 'Death', reward points]

Five million points were enough to show the soul strength of this guy in front of him, but the identity given to him by the system was the ferryman of the Yellow Spring Pure Land, not the controller or manager.

"interesting……"

Ye's eyes were fixed on the god of death in front of him, and the god of death seemed to feel the gaze and looked at Mizunoe Ye and the other two.

It doesn't matter if you don't look, but when you do, the Grim Reaper seems to have been given stimulants. He actually raised his palm, and his arm extended infinitely, grabbing towards Mizunoe Yue and the other two!

"Wha, what?!"

Such a scene shocked Minato Namikaze.

He did not urge the god of death to attack Mizunoe Yue, which means that it was the god of death himself who was taking action now.

How could Mizuno Yueye, that guy, actually be able to induce the God of Death to attack actively? !
Ordinary people don’t know this, but Minato Namikaze, who has practiced the Shikigami Seal, naturally has some understanding of the God of Death.

In this world, the god of death is a noble god who controls death. Everything in the mortal world is meaningless to him. No matter how strong you are, how big your chakra is, or whether you are young or old, the god of death doesn't care about all of this.

He only cares about the soul!

By offering your soul, you can make a deal with the god of death. This is the basic principle of the Shikigami Sealing Technique. Without a soul, no matter how much you give, you cannot make the god of death work for you.

And because of the special nature of living things, living creatures cannot attract the god of death. Only the soul exists. Everything depends only on the soul!
That is to say...

Namikaze Minato's brainstorm quickly came to a conclusion, and he growled in disbelief: "Mizuno Yueye, have you already..."

"hehe."

Ye ignored Minato Namikaze and looked at the attacking arm of the god of death.

This guy's arm was just like Luffy's, able to extend infinitely. In an instant, he rushed in front of Ye, but then, the arm actually took the initiative to bypass Ye and rushed towards Hozuki Gengetsu and Uchiha Shisui.

This situation made the two people behind Ye stunned, and then they used instant steps to dodge quickly.

"It's not me, it's Yong Daimei who provoked you. Why are you looking for me?!" Gui Deng Huan Yue's figure appeared from the side, looking at the Grim Reaper with a depressed and unfriendly expression: "I'm telling you not to look for trouble, bro, if we start a fight, it's not easy to mess with me!"

"Idiot, this Grim Reaper apparently only targets souls."

Uchiha Shisui said softly, "He is wearing an artificial body, no different from an ordinary human being. The God of Death will naturally not look for him, but we are different. We are beings that directly fuse natural energy with our souls. To the God of Death, we are simply lighthouses in the dark night!"

"…Yongdaimei!"

"You are all Death Gods. Don't you want to have a fight with your counterparts in this world?"

Ye chuckled and said, "This is a rare opportunity. A pure spiritual power battle cannot be compared to that special battle where spiritual power crushes chakra."

"whispering sound!"

Hozuki Huanyue snorted lightly, but he also knew that Mizunoe Yue was right. This was indeed a rare opportunity to train himself.

"Do you want to come or should I?" Hozuki Huanyue looked at Shisui.

"You do it."

Shisui shook his head. He didn't want to take action in Konoha...
