Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Hanzo left with the ninjas from Amegakure.

Orochimaru began to gather the wounded and slowly withdrew from the Land of Rain.

Neither side judged the outcome, and they acted in accordance with their tacit understanding.

Inside the tent, Rope Tree was the most withdrawn one.

In this battle, he was once again the one who was rescued. After witnessing the cruelty of war, he finally understood why Tsunade was so resistant to him coming to the battlefield.

It wasn't as wonderful as he had imagined.

Of the thousands of ninjas, only a dozen or so become famous.

Other ninjas were merely stepping stones to their rise to fame, crushed in the tides of time.

"What's wrong? Are you withdrawn?" Tsunade, having finished treating the wounded, walked in looking exhausted.

The rope tree remained silent.

Tsunade chuckled. Knowing to respect the battlefield was a good thing. "Keeping you out before was like me trying to harm you. Go to sleep early, little brother!"

Because there were many wounded, the evacuation was not fast.

However, information about this battle has already begun to circulate.

First, the Second Shinobi World War came to a complete end.

This great battle came and went quickly.

No one suffered significant losses; it was more of a test, which is perhaps why the Third Shinobi World War came so quickly.

Following closely behind were the names of the Three Ninjas.

Orochimaru and his two companions became quite famous.

Although Tsunade doesn't seem to really want this title.

Finally, there's Shikatoshi and Minato.

Minato earned the title of Yellow Flash ahead of schedule.

Lu Shi, on the other hand, received the title of Shadow Dominator.

However, their reputations are completely different.

Minato's true nature is easy to judge; he was the only user of the Flying Thunder God Technique after Tobirama Senju's death, and he was the fastest.

Lu Shi's reputation is not very good.

Based on the information Shikatoki has released about his ninjutsu so far, both the Shadow Imitation Technique and the Sealing Technique seem incredibly sinister.

There's even talk of them escaping one-on-one.

How so?

How can this not be considered a different kind of deterrent?

The border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire.

"Jiraiya, have you gone mad?" Tsunade stared at Jiraiya in disbelief. "You still want to stay in the Land of Rain?"

Orochimaru also looked at Jiraiya, "Your injuries haven't fully healed yet. Let's go back to Konoha first and talk about it after everything has settled down."

Jiraiya smiled confidently. "Hehe, Tsunade, Orochimaru is almost fully recovered, the war is over, it's time to find the chosen one."

"There's no need to do it in the Land of Rain!" Tsunade said, somewhat puzzled.

"I guess it's just my gut feeling," Jiraiya muttered to himself, then handed Minato a scroll. "Sorry, Minato, I don't think I have time to teach you. This is the summoning scroll I promised you. Just sign it."

Minato took the scroll and did not blame Jiraiya.

"Thank you, Jiraiya-sensei."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Jiraiya waved to the crowd with his back turned, looking free and unrestrained.

The deer remained calm.

I thought Jiraiya wouldn't meet Nagato and the others this time, but I didn't expect it to end like this?

Thinking about the battles that had taken place recently, Lu Shi looked into the distance.

"Tsunade-neechan, I'm not going back either," Shikatoki suddenly said.

Tsunade looked at the deer in disbelief and asked, "You're staying in the Land of Rain too?"

"Of course not, I'm going to the Land of Hot Springs." Shika made no attempt to hide anything.

"What are you going there for? To soak in the hot springs?"

"To become stronger."

Lu Shi's expression was serious.

Tsunade remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded. "I understand. I'll talk to the old man. Come back soon."

"Um."

After leaving the group.

Lu Shi did not rush on his way.

The Land of Rain is quite a distance from the Land of Hot Springs.

We traveled along the way, stopping frequently to appreciate the scenery.

The war is over, and the whole world seems to have slowed down.

Unbeknownst to him, Lu Shi returned to Wochao Village once again.

This place is a wasteland.

With the Uzumaki clan officially joining Konoha, Uzumaki Village was naturally abandoned.

Walking through the ruins, Lu Shi felt a pang of emotion.

"I really don't understand why I risked my life to attack back then."

Lu Shi stopped when he reached the Namen Hall of the Uzumaki Clan.

There is a mask there.

This is the key to Orochimaru breaking the seal on the Reaper Death Demon in the future.

A mask belonging to the Grim Reaper.

Lu Shi picked it up out of curiosity.

The editor suddenly spoke.

[Special item detected. Can be made into a template. Produce?]

"Special template?" Lu Shi looked around, put down the mask in his hand, and picked up another cracked mask.

The editor is not responding.

"Is it because the mask is broken, or because the god being worshipped doesn't exist?"

Lu Shi couldn't understand it, and finally picked up the Grim Reaper mask again.

"Let's give it a try." Lu Shi made up his mind. "Let's make it!"

At Lu Shi's command, the originally clear weather instantly turned dark.

A chilling wind rose from all around.

The waves kept rolling.

"Why is there such a commotion?" Lu Shi looked around warily.

The next moment, a huge spirit appeared.

He had white hair, wore white clothes, was tall, and had a short knife in his mouth.

"Isn't this the Reaper Death Seal?! Holy crap! System, don't mess with me?!"

Lu Shi was being stared at by Death, his body was cold, and he was completely unable to move, as if his soul would be taken away at any moment.

And then, in the next moment...

The weakened Grim Reaper let out a mournful cry.

Under Lu Shi's incredulous gaze, a large amount of energy was drawn from Death's body, causing Death to shrink in size and his face to become extremely wary.

As it dissipated, Death glanced at Deer, as if trying to remember what Deer looked like.

[Completed. Please check it yourself.]

"Wow! This editor is amazing! Are you just going to rob it outright?!"

Lu Shi thought of the look in Death's eyes when he left, and his body trembled slightly. "It's like Death has his eye on me."

at this point.

Lu opened the editor.

A special template has been added below the original template.

Once opened, there is only one template inside.

[Special Template: Death]

[Death God: Unique template, deals soul damage, cannot be removed once added.]

"Soul Attack!"

The concept of a soul exists in Naruto.

The spiritification techniques in the Book of Seals also attack the soul.

Essentially, the ability to attack the soul is not a normal thing.

"This is truly an unexpected part of life."

Lu Shi stopped moving, found a clean spot to sit down, and began to study.

"What would happen if I added it to Shadow Imitation Technique Modified?"

[Grim Reaper (Compatibility: Very Low): The shadow deals soul damage to enemies upon death, but consumes the host's soul. Adding this template is not recommended.]

"It's not consuming chakra or natural energy; consuming one's own soul won't do!"

If it's a deer, just pass.

In the original work, Orochimaru's frequent body changes resulted in the loss of his soul, making him completely defenseless against genjutsu.

"What about the sealing technique?"

[Grim Reaper (Compatibility: Extremely Low): Can directly seal the enemy's soul, but requires consuming the host's soul; adding this template is not recommended.]

"Then Sage Mode is the only option."

[Death God (Compatibility: Extremely High): Perfectly merges with natural energy, mastering true soul power.]

"What else is there to say!" Lu Shi exclaimed with a hint of joy, "This is it!"

Template added successfully

[Sage Mode: Autonomously absorbs natural energy to slowly replace chakra.]

[Add template:]

Death God: The one who wields the power of souls.

Lu Shi felt a force that was originally natural energy returning to his body.

This energy from the soul continues to surge.

Lu immediately sat down cross-legged.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Shi opened his eyes.

"Feeling refreshed!"

He stood up and stretched.

A small bird landed nearby, and the deer grabbed it.

I saw not just the bird, but its soul. I tried to tug at its soul, and found that it really worked.

"If I change the shape of my soul."

The deer subconsciously changed, the bird emitted a mournful cry, and the body began to change shape in accordance with the soul's transformation.

When the deer was frightened, the bird's soul was quickly restored.

"Holy crap! Isn't this ability almost the same as the inaction transformation of a true immortal? I'm afraid I'll end up like a beastly immortal!"

Lu Shi then tried using soul attacks.

The results showed that chakra could not mobilize soul power; only natural energy could. The consumption of chakra for soul-attached attacks was acceptable, but the consumption for modifying the soul was much greater.

"Another top-notch method, let's head to the Land of Hot Springs."

Deer walk on the water and head to the Land of Hot Water according to the map.

Uzushio Village is not far from the Land of Hot Springs.

About half a day later, Shika arrived in the Land of Hot Springs.

There were quite a few people in the Land of Hot Water at this moment, and it looked very lively.

This surprised Lu Shi.

He randomly picked a small stall and asked, "Brother, this Land of Hot Springs seems completely unaffected by the war!"

When the stall owner glanced at the deer, he said, "What's unaffected? It wasn't doing too well when the Second Shinobi World War ended, but it's been over a year now. Thanks to the hot springs, the Land of Hot Springs has recovered."

Lu was taken aback.

"It's been over a year since the war ended?"

"Yeah, buddy, aren't you from the vicinity of the five major countries?" the stall owner asked, looking puzzled.

Lu Shi nodded. "Thank you for informing me, brother."

He wasn't stupid; he quickly figured out the reason.

After all that, it turns out I spent a year in Wochao Village, is that right?

Lu Shi really didn't feel anything at all. Come to think of it, since Wochao Village had always been in ruins, it was hard to tell.

"Never mind, a year is normal. I have mastered the power of the soul."

Instead of dwelling on it too much, Shika began to observe the Land of Hot Springs.

There were quite a few people in the Land of Hot Springs at this moment, not only ordinary people and merchants, but Shikatoshi also saw a few ninjas who didn't seem to be on a mission, but more like they were just passing by to soak in the hot springs and take a break.

Judging from the headbands, most of them are ninjas from Kumogakure and Kirigakure.
