Simultaneously traversing from the beginning of the rampage in Konoha

A dark blue arm, adorned with prayer beads and covered in tiny runes, suddenly stretched out and grabbed Uchiha Owl.

As the two came into contact, the Grim Reaper's eerie and hideous appearance came into his view.

Two small, jet-black cow horns were stuck in a head of pale white hair.

Beneath the long, unkempt hair, resembling a lion's mane, lay a ferocious, purple face.

Beneath the wide white robe, his bare chest was thin and bony, reminding Uchiha Owl of his own body when he was long plagued by injuries and illnesses.

"Is this the Grim Reaper?"

"His appearance is really sloppy!"

Having already known the power of the Reaper Death Seal, Uchiha Owl, with his own confidence, uttered a mocking remark devoid of any respect.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Owl Uchiha, who showed no fear whatsoever, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Thinking that the young enemy was unaware of the terror of this sealing technique, he slowly spoke with a pale face, trying to intimidate him.

"The Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, as a forbidden sealing technique, requires me to surrender my soul to the Grim Reaper."

"But at the cost of my life, I can pull your soul out of your body and seal it away!"

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently into Owl Uchiha's eyes, trying to see fear in them.

However, unlike the horrified gazes around him, he only saw indifferent stares tinged with a hint of mockery.

A sense of panic and unease rose in his heart, but when he remembered that this was the ninjutsu that had sealed the Nine-Tails, he calmed himself down.

"Those whose souls are sealed by this ninjutsu will never ascend to heaven and will forever suffer inside the belly of the Grim Reaper!"

"The souls of the sealer and the sealed person will become intertwined, hating each other and fighting forever!"

Uchiha Owl watched Hiruzen Sarutobi quietly, as if he were watching a rather uninteresting monkey show.

As he watched Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice grow increasingly hesitant, he finally spoke up, asking, "So, what is your Shinigami doing right now?"

"..."

Hearing these words filled with unbridled laughter, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had a vague premonition in his heart, naturally could not, did not want to, and dared not answer.

He clearly saw the Grim Reaper place his hand on Uchiha Owl's body.

The arms that had been gripping and trying to pull out the soul were now completely still.

It didn't seem like they couldn't pull out Uchiha Owl's soul; rather, it seemed like he was too scared to move because of something terrifying.

The beads of cold sweat dripping from his forehead merged into one at that moment.

Even the many Konoha ninjas around noticed that something was wrong, and a faint murmur of panic and commotion arose.

Right now.

A sinister, cold, fearful, and frantic roar suddenly rang out.

This terrifying roar was faintly heard even by those around who had never seen the Grim Reaper.

Compared to those who were completely bewildered and felt a chill run down their spines, Hiruzen Sarutobi heard it all more clearly and saw it with even greater despair.

Death suddenly stretched out his right hand and pulled the sheathless dagger from his mouth.

He moved so fast and exerted so much force that he didn't even care about the bloody gash on the corner of his mouth.

The ferocious Grim Reaper raised his right arm, holding a knife, and slashed down on his left arm without hesitation.

"Trying to run away?"

"Don't you think it's getting a little late!"

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed from the heartbeat that only Uchiha Owl could hear.

The Grim Reaper's arm, severed by a single blow, along with a piece of his white robe, was shattered into invisible dust by the sound.

However, even with such a price paid, Death still could not escape its fate.

To Hiruzen Sarutobi's incredulous perception, the eerie presence behind him instantly crumbled and vanished.

As Uchiha Owl looked at the collapsing Shinigami, a look of surprise flashed in his Mangekyou Sharingan. He hurriedly raised his hand and released a cloud of black mist.

Then, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose face was as pale as bone powder, the knot in his heart dissipated slightly.

He stood opposite Uchiha Owl, separated by the amethyst.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who could clearly sense that death was approaching, suddenly felt a surge of power and shouted with all his might.

"Konoha ninja, heed my command! Find Jiraiya! From this moment forward, he shall be the Fifth Hokage!"

Using the power squeezed out by his last burst of energy, Hiruzen Sarutobi fulfilled his final responsibility as Hokage.

Separated by the translucent purple crystal wall, Uchiha Owl waited quietly for him to finish speaking before speaking softly.

"Remember, Hiruzen Sarutobi, tonight is not the end!"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi could no longer hold on, and he knelt down in despair, his dim eyes growing even darker.

At the same time, he felt an overwhelming sense of guilt towards Jiraiya.

On the contrary, a deep sense of satisfaction filled Uchiha Owl's heart.

He cheerfully dispersed Susanoo and raised his hand to recall a shining obsidian.

They didn't give the rushing ninja a chance to pick up Hiruzen Sarutobi's body.

The 300-meter-tall amethyst giant gradually disintegrated into fragments, slowly transforming into countless starlight points across the sky.

The ninjas, having lost their foothold, could only try to save their own lives, letting the Hokage's body fall downwards.

call!

With a tearing sound, Uchiha Owl swung down the massive, deadly axe-halberd in his hand.

In an instant, the falling corpse was severed from its head and body!

boom!

Uchiha Owl let the earth capture him and slammed straight into the ground, creating a huge crater in the already cracked earth.

However, his physique is not what it used to be, and the terrifying fall from the sky only caused him to experience some blood turmoil.

With the axe and halberd planted firmly in the ground, his arms were spread wide, and he stretched his muscles and bones freely amidst a series of crisp cracking sounds.

At the same time, a strange sensation came from all over my body.

However, the chakra that had been barely depleted was now rapidly surging within his body, flowing chaotically through his meridians like a rushing river.

Under Uchiha Owl's careful perception, his chakra was decreasing at an eerie and rapid pace.

Of course, it's less about reduction and more about qualitative change and transformation.

The enormous chakra, comparable to the combined power of several Nine-Tails, shrank by one-tenth in the blink of an eye.

And it is shrinking even more rapidly over time.

The changes finally stopped completely when Uchiha Owl's chakra reserves were reduced to only one percent.

He watched as the chakra wrapped around his hands seemed to rise like flames, transforming into blazing white starlight.

Feeling a bit better, Uchiha Owl tilted his head and glanced at the gaze that was fixed on him.

Their indifferent gazes met briefly with the conflicted glint in Hyuga Hiashi's eyes, where veins bulged.

He ignored Hyuga Hiashi, who was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

He pulled out his axe and halberd, and with his still-growing short legs, rushed towards the ruins of the clan's territory that he had ravaged.

In just a few blinks, he returned to the front door of his house, which was no longer recognizable.

After a brief pause, Uchiha Owl continued to walk forward slowly for a few more steps, the joy on his face quickly fading as he got closer.

Although the walls and bricks of the house have collapsed and fallen off, Uchiha Izumi's house is now the best-preserved building in the Uchiha clan's territory.

He gently applied force to the half-closed door, and the dilapidated door collapsed.

With a thud, Uchiha Owl silently walked in and saw Uchiha Izumi's corpse.
