Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Chapter 191 The Corpse Demon Sealing! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

With Danzo dead, Hoshishita Hideaki naturally became the new leader of Root.

This was originally impossible because he lacked the necessary qualifications, even with Wood Release.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi completely trusted him and decisively handed over the Root organization to Hideaki Hoshishita.

Having taken control of the core business, Xingxiaxiu embarked on a sweeping expansion and reform.

In addition to recruiting and training new members from various ninja clans, Hoshino also brought the Uchiha and Hyuga clans into the Root organization.

Danzo feared the Uchiha clan, but Hoshino Shuu wouldn't.

Let alone the current Uchiha, even if Itachi Uchiha or Shisui Uchiha awaken their Mangekyou Sharingan in the future, he can still suppress them.

He also dares to use the Byakugan, even though Hoshino Shu isn't afraid of having his Sharingan secret discovered.

This is the confidence that comes with sufficient strength.

However, Xingxia Xiu did not stay in the parallel world for long. He left his wooden clone as an anchor and began to travel back and forth between the two worlds.

Upon returning to Konoha from the parallel world, the first thing Hoshino Hide did was to obtain the Reaper Death Seal Technique and begin researching it with Kushina Uzumaki, Tsunade, and Minato Namikaze.

To date, Hoshino Shu has not yet found a reliable method for splitting the tailed beasts.

The only solution is to seal away the corpse demon.

If one awakens the Rinnegan, it can be used to separate the tailed beasts.

Therefore, at present, the only option is to use the corpse demon seal.

Of course, the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique is a method of mutual destruction. Even if Hoshino Shu knows how to undo it, he doesn't have Orochimaru's Reanimation Jutsu.

Therefore, Xingxiaxiu had to use other methods to avoid the side effects of the Corpse Demon's seal.

This wasn't difficult for him either.

On the contrary, learning the Corpse Seal is more difficult.

……

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Tsunade returned from Konoha Hospital, looking cheerful, and even showing a smug look in front of Hoshino Hide: "Hide, my technique is almost fully developed, when will your bloodline limit be complete?"

"If we don't hurry, I'll win this match."

Inside the study, Hoshino Shizuka, who was studying sealing techniques, looked up, slightly surprised: "So fast?"

Tsunade raised her chin: "I'm Tsunade!"

Seeing his confident demeanor, Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't be too smug until the very end."

Tsunade scoffed, "Your medical bloodline limit may seem to have a clear objective, but it's actually impossible to find. Synthesizing it won't be that simple."

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "I've always been very lucky."

Looking at his confident demeanor, Tsunade hesitated, "You haven't already mastered it, have you?"

Xingxia Xiu shook her head: "Not yet."

"But it should be soon, don't forget I have a lot of clones."

Tsunade stepped forward with a sneer, looking at the scrolls on the desk covered with incantations and spells, and frowned, saying, "The Corpse Demon Sealing Technique?"

"Didn't you already master it?"

Hoshino Hide laughed and said, "No ninjutsu is perfect. This is information collected from various places. I'm looking for a way to break the Reaper Death Seal."

Tsunade looked slightly taken aback: "You can even break a technique like the Reaper Death Seal?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "We've already made progress."

He knew all along that breaking the seal on the corpse demon required a mask from the Uzumaki clan's Namendou, and he had already obtained the mask.

But obviously, it's not enough to just have that mask; you also need to understand the incantation and spell, and then you can use that mask.

That's why he sent his clones all over the ninja world to search for the lost information of the Uzumaki clan. With the help of some information left behind by Mito Uzumaki and Konoha, they gradually pieced together the method to break the Reaper Death Seal.

However, whether you cast the Corpse Demon Seal or break it, you have to give up your life.

To be honest, Xingxia Xiu is now more curious about the origin of this sealing technique.

Unfortunately, there is too little information to trace its origin.

However, that Grim Reaper mask is quite interesting.

"Have you found a way to solve it?"

Tsunade sat down next to Hoshino Hide.

Xingxia Xiu casually put her arm around his waist and nodded, saying, "We've found it."

"Moreover, I find this sealing technique quite interesting."

Tsunade, who had also studied the Reaper Death Seal technique, asked curiously, "What's so interesting about it?"

Hoshino Hide got up and grabbed the Grim Reaper mask: "This!"

Tsunade took it, seemingly lost in thought: "Is this the key to breaking the seal?"

Hoshino nodded: "Do you remember when we were researching the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, we discovered that the sealing technique also contained elements of space-time manipulation or summoning techniques?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Tsunade nodded, then asked疑惑地问道, "Is it related to this mask?"

Xingxia Xiu pointed to the mask: "Death is inside!"

Tsunade exclaimed in shock, "What?"

She was truly shocked; the sealing technique was terrifying, and the Grim Reaper was actually inside a mask.

When they were researching this ninjutsu, they all speculated about the origin of the Grim Reaper and unanimously believed that it was in the Pure Land.

I never expected it to be inside a mask.

Tsunade immediately examined it carefully again, but couldn't see anything amiss.

Xingxia Xiu said, "Strictly speaking, it's not exactly inside this mask, um..."

After a moment's thought, he said, "This mask is similar to the summoning scroll of our summoning beasts. It can directly communicate with the Grim Reaper and summon him."

"This Grim Reaper is not in the Pure Land, but rather in the space between the real world and the Pure Land."

"This mask is similar to a ninja tool used for summoning."

This was a conjecture made by Xingxia Xiu after a long period of research. Of course, he felt it was pretty close to the truth because his perception of space and time was becoming increasingly sensitive.

This mask can also be compared to the chakra of Ashura and Indra, whose chakra can draw upon the power of the Six Paths, allowing the Sage of Six Paths to appear.

The mask can summon the Grim Reaper.

It could also be said that spiritual communication brings forth the Grim Reaper.

However, it is currently impossible for Hoshino Shu to determine whether this Grim Reaper was created by someone from the Uzumaki clan using their own soul, or whether it existed before the ninjas appeared.

The Grim Reaper looks a bit like the Otsutsuki clan.

However, only two members of the Otsutsuki clan have ever come to Earth.

The Uzumaki clan has the bloodline of the Otsutsuki, so it's reasonable for them to have horns, just like Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

Tsunade, holding the mask, said, "Summoning the Shinigami can break the seal?"

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "By cutting open the Grim Reaper's belly, we can release the sealed soul."

"However, if Death's stomach is ripped open, the stomach of the masked person will also be ripped open; it's a life for a life."

Tsunade frowned: "Is there any way to fix this?"

Hoshino Hide shook his head and then nodded: "No, unless you summon the Grim Reaper without the mask and then have the ability to cut open the Grim Reaper's stomach."

Tsunade threw off her mask and scoffed, "The price is too high. This technique is useless until the very end."

"With your strength, if you are forced to use this technique, it is actually useless."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "More or less."
