Chapter 83: Chapter 83: The Life-Risking Forbidden Jutsu, Reaper Death Seal!
Shimura Danzo hadn't been resting that night.
He was stationed at the Root, having dispatched all the Root ninja along with the ANBU to wipe out the Uchiha. Naturally, resting was out of the question.
Therefore, when he sensed the commotion caused by the Daytime Tiger, Danzo rushed over immediately, arriving just in time to save the Third Hokage and temporarily preserve his life.
The Eight Gates, with the seventh gate opened again?
Having previously lost his life to this technique, Danzo couldn't help but curse inwardly as he watched Uchiha Akira activate the seventh gate once more.
He couldn't understand how Akira could be moving so soon after his last use of the technique!
However, Danzo's time in hiding hadn't been without its gains.
Successfully transplanting Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan and possessing the ultimate ace, Kotoamatsukami, Danzo felt confident even when facing the seventh-gate-opened Uchiha
Akira.
Uchiha Akira? The greatest genius in the history of the Uchiha clan? Opened the three-tomoe Sharingan at the age of seven?
Very well, thought Danzo. If I can control him with Kotoamatsukami, such a powerful individual would become my most valuable asset.
Thus, despite knowing he wasn't a match for Uchiha Akira, Danzo confidently removed the bandages covering his face, revealing the transplanted Mangekyō Sharingan in his right eye. But just as he prepared to activate Kotoamatsukami, he was shocked to see Uchiha Akira summon a pitch-black crow.
The crow perched on Akira's shoulder, and in its eye socket was a Mangekyō Sharingan with a four-point shuriken pattern as well!
"Shisui... he left his other Mangekyō to you!?" Danzo's expression changed as he stared at Uchiha Akira in disbelief.
"I'm Shisui-sensei's disciple. Isn't it only natural that he would leave his other Mangekyō to me?" Akira replied, his tone making it clear that he saw nothing unusual about this, as if it were the most logical thing in the world.
Danzo was left speechless.
Indeed, Akira was Shisui's disciple, and his talent was unmatched in the Uchiha's history.
It made perfect sense that Shisui would entrust his Mangekyō Sharingan to Akira.
Danzo realized he had gravely miscalculated.
He had planned to use Kotoamatsukami to control Akira and make him his most powerful pawn.
But now, he realized that Akira also possessed Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan, which meant he too could use Kotoamatsukami. How could Danzo hope to control him now?
"Danzo, this is quite a problem for you, isn't it?"
With the crow capable of using Kotoamatsukami perched on his shoulder, Uchiha Akira's lips curled into a slight smile. "Now, Kotoamatsukami won't work on me."
As he spoke, Akira's three-tomoe Sharingan gleamed with a sinister and chilling murderous intent.
Danzo was silent.
"Have you considered how you'll protect yourself from me?"
Akira's question struck right at the heart of Danzo's fears.
Indeed, with Kotoamatsukami rendered ineffective, how was he supposed to defend himself against Akira?
With the seventh gate open, Akira's power was enough to overwhelm even the Third Hokage. How could Danzo possibly stand against him?
Whoosh!
It was as if he had made up his mind, and his tone carried a finality that chilled the air.
The Third Hokage began forming hand seals with a gravity that made Akira's skin crawl. Even though Akira had opened the seventh gate, making him one of the most powerful fighters in the world, the sight of the Third Hokage's determined seal-weaving sent shivers
down his spine.
A sense of unprecedented danger sounded alarm bells in Akira's mind.
Just as Akira was about to strike to interrupt the Hokage's jutsu, the Third Hokage finished his
hand seals.
With a final, resounding shout, he declared, "Sealing Jutsu: Reaper Death Seal!"
As the Third Hokage spoke, Akira saw something terrifying materialize behind him.
A spectral figure, like a demon, appeared behind the Third Hokage.
With a ghastly, menacing face, holding a knife in its mouth, the figure exuded an aura of pure terror. As this spectral figure loomed behind the Hokage, Akira felt the temperature around
him plummet.
Reaper Death Seal-Akira knew this sealing jutsu, one of the most powerful in the ninja world.
The jutsu called upon the power of the Death God to sever the souls of both the caster and the target, sealing them within the Death God's stomach, where they would battle for eternity. Moreover, the jutsu was so potent that it could bypass any defense or power to tear a soul
from its body.
Even with the seventh gate open? Akira thought, Even if I opened the eighth gate, or even used my Mangekyō Sharingan, if the Death God seizes my soul and slices it from my body, I'll be dead for sure! The Reaper Death Seal was a forbidden jutsu that ignored all defenses.
"I didn't expect that the Third Hokage had already learned the Reaper Death Seal at this point," Akira thought, his heart heavy with unease.
Indeed, as a veteran Kage-level ninja, if you don't kill them quickly, unexpected complications can
arise.
The power of the Life Simulator was extraordinary, allowing Akira to simulate life and grow
stronger.
But life-risking jutsus were always terrifying.
For example, the Rinne Tensei, a life-risking jutsu that could revive others, even thousands at
a time.
For example, the Eight Gates' final gate, Death Gate, which allowed Might Guy, a mere jonin, to overpower even the Six Paths Madara!
And now, standing before him was the Reaper Death Seal, another life-risking forbidden jutsu
that could seal anyone's soul, no matter their power.
Whoosh!
Having invoked the Reaper Death Seal, the Third Hokage was now fully committed, his heart
set on sacrificing himself. He charged straight toward Uchiha Akira.
As the Third Hokage moved, the terrifying Shinigami figure behind him followed, moving toward Akira with the intent to claim his soul.
