Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 113 The Disappearing Corpse

Naruto left the conscious world.

Karin asked nervously, "How is Kyuubi?"

After the Yin Nine-Tails was completely transferred into Naruto's body, the "Little Nine-Tails" that had been moving outside immediately disappeared.

This worried her.

"They're fighting," Naruto answered simply.

Xianglin's brain froze for a moment, and she let out an "ah", at a loss as to what to do.

Fight.Fight?

Is the contradiction so big?
But why did Naruto's reaction seem so nonchalant?

"The Nine-Tailed Fox's power has not been integrated?" After a while, she came to her senses and tried to ask, "Are they fighting for dominance now?"

"Naruto, don't you care?"

Naruto smiled, "This is their way of communicating, don't worry, it's not a bad thing."

"There is no negative impact, so let them make a fuss."

Karin nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

In this tone, "fighting" sounds like a form of play.

Naruto stood up, closed his eyes, made a hand seal, and used all his strength to exert the "Kagura Heart's Eye" to search the mountain for the "laboratory" that the Second Hokage mentioned.

It is well hidden in a natural cave on the top of the mountain.

Even after decades, the barrier left by the Second Hokage is still in effect.

However, the sealing techniques that make up this barrier are all based on the knowledge of the Uzumaki clan.

For the two of them, it was not difficult to crack it, but there were too many of them and they were too complicated, which made it a bit cumbersome.

"The sealing technique of the Second Hokage is so powerful that it has not been found for so many years." Karin turned around and could vaguely see the Hidden Leaf Village from here. "If the Second Hokage hadn't said it, who would have thought that Uchiha Madara's body was hidden here."

She pulled out the scroll and held it tightly in her hands, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Uchiha spot
He is a powerful ninja who can fight against the "God of Ninja" Senju Hashirama.

Perhaps we can dig out something from his body that can help Naruto.

Wait until the last seal is released.

Naruto pushed the door open and walked in.

The space inside is not big and the furnishings are even simpler, with only a laboratory table, some dirty equipment, and a standing, intact culture chamber.

But...the two of them stared at the culture medium, both of them were stunned.

"Where is Uchiha Madara?" Karin asked.

Through the glass, you can see that the culture chamber is empty, with only less than half the height of nutrient solution left.

And the "person" who was supposed to be inside disappeared.

Naruto shook his head.

Karin walked over and knocked on the glass.

Two crisp "dangdang" sounds.

The nutrient solution inside vibrated and caused tiny ripples.

The nutrition bin was intact.

She turned her head and looked at other corners of the room, but apart from this incubator, there seemed to be no other place to store Uchiha Madara's body.

"Is it corrupted?" She uttered blankly.

Naruto also frowned, his mind full of mixed thoughts.

Decades are enough time for a corpse to decompose.

But even if there was a problem with the incubator and the corpse really rotted, there should be some bones left, and it wouldn't disappear completely.

Could it be that someone secretly knew that Uchiha Madara's body was hidden here, and after receiving the news that the Second Hokage had died in battle, they moved Uchiha Madara's body away?

if so.

Why bother pretending that the barrier has not been broken? What a waste of time!
Anyway, the Second Hokage is dead and no one knows about this place anymore.

It is more convenient to crack by force.

The possibility of "an outsider breaking in and taking away Uchiha Madara's body" is extremely small.

The possibility of "rot" is almost non-existent.

Eliminate all that is impossible.

That can only be.
"Uchiha Madara is not dead." Karin's mind gradually became clear, and she came to the same answer as Naruto. This was the understanding they had from the very beginning.

"But if Uchiha Madara didn't die, how did he leave here?" She stared at the empty incubator and covered it with her hand.

"Genjutsu." Naruto said softly, giving an answer, "The Sharingan is very good at genjutsu."

"So will Uchiha Madara."

"Perhaps from the very beginning, the First Hokage was deceived by Uchiha Madara. He did not kill Uchiha Madara, or he thought he killed Uchiha Madara." He analyzed, "And the Second Hokage did not get Uchiha Madara's body."

"It's just a shadow clone."

"Uchiha Madara disbanded the technique after learning about the death of the Second Hokage."

"Or maybe there was nothing at all from the beginning."

"It's just that the Second Hokage thought he had it and put a non-existent thing into the nutrient tank."

"Can illusions be so powerful?" Xianglin was stunned and couldn't believe it.

This. Is this still a ninjutsu?

Naruto nodded: "Deceiving the five senses and distorting cognition."

"This is the pinnacle of illusion."

He thought of Aizen.

That man possesses the ultimate "ability to deceive".

If it were him, he could do this easily.

Karin nodded without questioning. Since Naruto said so, then this incredible illusion ability must exist.

"If Uchiha Madara hadn't died." She tilted her head and said in a surprised tone, "He should be over ninety or a hundred years old now?"

“What a long life.”

Naruto didn't say anything, which wasn't surprising.

Ordinary people can live to be seventy or eighty years old. It is not impossible for ninjas to live longer by using other methods to prolong their lives.

Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, is said to have the ability to remain young. And she is only over a hundred years old.
It seems that none of the death gods I know are younger than this age.

"But he lived for so long and concealed the truth from the First and Second Hokage. What was his purpose?" Karin was even more confused.

Naruto shook his head.

I haven't even had any contact with that man, so how can I know what he's thinking?
However, the purpose of the Akatsuki organization is to collect the tailed beasts.

Is the purpose related to "unifying the ninja world"?

"We can just ask him directly when we catch him." Naruto said softly, "He killed my parents, he can't get away with it."

"But now."

"Let's clean up first. Since there are ready-made facilities here, let's rest here for a while."

"It just so happens that I have something else I want to study."

He flipped his hand and summoned a scroll.

It was the one that had just sealed up the "God of Death".

They cleaned the lab bench.

Karin went out to collect firewood and prepare for dinner.

Naruto opened the scroll and released the seal.

The evil ghost called "Death" floated out from the seal, and it still looked as dull as at the beginning.

"Can we communicate?" Naruto asked it.

no reply.

It stretched out its arms and remained in the same state as at the beginning, dazed.

Naruto raised his knife and cut off one of its arms.

The evil ghost showed no reaction, as if it had no sense of pain.

Naruto stared at it.

It was completely different from the kind of truly living "god" that he had expected before. It was dull and stupid, like a piece of stone with different "form" and "existence", without any self-awareness at all.

What kind of existence is it?

He has been focusing on this matter for the past week.

Until the final result was obtained and the final research on this "evil ghost" was completed, Naruto drove it away.

"Have you figured out what it is?" Karin finished writing the last line of the record and looked up to ask.

Although she was the one who recorded the experiment.

but.
She could hardly understand what was said, as most of the words looked unfamiliar to her when put together.

I don’t know what those numbers represent, nor do I know what those strange spells mean.

It feels like another kind of knowledge system.

"It's not a living god." Naruto shook his head, "I thought it would be a spirit, but that's not the case."

"It is similar in nature to the Nine-Tailed Fox, a ball of pure energy."

"It's just that the Kyuubi is chakra."

"The words of that evil ghost."

"It's a mixture of natural energy and chakra."

As for this guy's soul
This guy has no soul. The "soul power" that I felt before was the "spiritual power" mobilized by the person who performed this technique.

Karin nodded, thoughtfully.

"It should have been conscious before." Naruto took a record and frowned in thought, "But for some reason, it lost its consciousness and soul, and completely turned into a ball of energy."

The results of the research made him feel very strange.

"The soul is what it should have been before."

"The history of natural energy is much older than that of chakra."

Naruto said softly.

“When it only possesses these two powers, it can be said to be a ‘god’.”

"But when chakra replaces the soul"

Although there is no evidence and it is just an intuition, Naruto feels that the reason why this evil ghost has undergone such a change is most likely the energy of "chakra".

That doesn't sound good.
Naruto had a feeling that the evil spirit was being parasitized and eroded by its "chakra".

"Chakra is a very strange kind of energy." Naruto did not rush to draw any conclusions, but just shook his head and sighed.

He certainly thought so.

Some of the uses of chakra are incredible if you think about it carefully.

Especially in terms of "soul".

Take the technique of "Impure World Reincarnation" for example. The Second Hokage had never studied the Pure Land, but he could perform the technique smoothly and pull the souls out of the Pure Land without causing hostility and resistance from the "Six Paths Sage".

And myself.
It’s just to set up three layers of barriers, hoping to keep the soul for a short time.

Let the "Six Paths Sage" take action and forcibly break your seal.

That's the difference.

It is the power that one leaves behind in one's soul, and has nothing to do with chakra.

"Immortal Reincarnation" is a ninjutsu based on "chakra".

Karin nodded thoughtfully.

"Let's go." Naruto glanced at the empty incubator.

Karin gathered her things, sealed them in a scroll, and followed behind, "Where are we going next?"

Naruto thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Land of Lightning."

"Look for the real waterfall that Daddy talked about."

"By the way, ask about the organization called 'Akatsuki'."

"Uchiha Madara, I really want to see him right now."

"You want to learn the knowledge needed for recording? I will teach you that, too."

Xianglin agreed happily.

(I'm a little late, QAQ, I kowtow and apologize)
