"However, due to some of the overly dangerous limitations of the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, I have never dared to use it."

"Even so, with the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique as a reference, I have a basis for contacting and studying the Grim Reaper."

"While I was researching how to eliminate the side effects of the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, I unexpectedly discovered something interesting."

"The Reaper Death Seal can be broken, and the Grim Reaper summoned by the Reaper Death Seal does not possess any thought."

"To put it bluntly, Death represents only a power, not a god who governs the Pure Land, much less an existence that we cannot understand."

Orochimaru's words shocked Akira Hatake somewhat. The Shinigami in the Naruto world was actually just a simple power...

This somewhat overturned Akira Hatake's previous understanding of the Shinigami in the Naruto world, and he was still a little overwhelmed.

"If that's the case, then what's the point of the Grim Reaper's existence?"

Akira Hatake quickly raised his doubts, and Orochimaru quickly provided an impeccable explanation.

"My lord, if the Grim Reaper has its own thoughts and unique powers, do you think the Reaper Death Seal technique can be broken?"

"This……"

Akira Hatake was speechless for a moment; Orochimaru's deduction left him unable to explain.

Imagine you work for someone and you have to receive payment; this is the simplest form of employment.

Similarly, the Grim Reaper summoned by the Reaper Death Seal technique is essentially working for the caster, or helping the caster complete the task of sealing the enemy's soul.

Once the mission is completed, the Grim Reaper summoned by the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique will collect the caster's soul as a reward.

If the Grim Reaper summoned by the Shiki Fury has its own thoughts, how could the reward that the Grim Reaper has worked so hard to earn be taken away by others?

Thinking this, Akira Hatake couldn't help but nod at Orochimaru, which was considered as agreeing with Orochimaru's theory.

However, a new question then lingered in Akira Hatake's mind.

"Orochimaru, since you say the Grim Reaper is just a power, then how did you imprison him?" Pointing to the demon mask in Orochimaru's hand, "Was it this mask... or something else?"

"All."

Orochimaru put the mask on his face. "When I found this mask in the ruins of the Uzumaki clan and put it on, I felt a tremendous Yin Release power!"

"Yin Release? Are you sure?!"

Akira Hatake's voice involuntarily rose. If the Grim Reapers were formed from Yin Release, then the power represented behind the Grim Reapers...

It's very likely that it's Hagoromo Otsutsuki!

"You can try wearing it."

Orochimaru reached out and removed the demon mask from his face, then handed it to Akira Hatake.

To verify his guess, Akira Hatake did not hesitate. He took the demon mask and put it on his face without thinking.

boom!

The instant Akira was hit, a surge of powerful Yin Release chakra rushed into his mind, causing him to momentarily lose focus.

The human body is divided into Yin and Yang. The strength of the body can be understood as Yang, and the soul can be understood as Yin.

For some reason, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's body slowly decayed and eventually his life came to an end.

As for Hagoromo Otsutsuki's strength, even after his body dies, his soul can exist forever along with his immense power.

This has already been proven by Hagoromo Otsutsuki's two sons.

Since Indra and Ashura can be reincarnated continuously with chakra, the even more powerful Otsutsuki can naturally do the same.

However, Hagoromo Otsutsuki did not do that. Instead, he chose to enter the Pure Land with his soul, hiding himself while constantly monitoring the ninja world.

Akira Hatake didn't want to investigate what Hagoromo Otsutsuki was planning, but when he put on the demon mask, a bold idea came to him.

Human souls belong to Yin. Is Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who is hiding in the Pure Land, trying to rely on the vast number of souls in the Pure Land in order to achieve another breakthrough in his strength?

After all, the Rinnegan of Hagoromo Otsutsuki is essentially the ultimate use of Yin Release; otherwise, it wouldn't be called the Sage's Eye.

The immortal body represents Yang, so the immortal eye represents Yin!

The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that his guess was the truth, which made Akira Hatake's heart skip a beat.

If the Shinigami summoned by the Reaper Death Seal is only a fraction of Hagoromo Otsutsuki's Yin Release power, then Orochimaru sealed this power in this chakra crystal prison...

Will this cause trouble?

Akira Hatake ripped off the Grim Reaper mask from his face and glanced at Orochimaru with lingering fear. "Orochimaru, I think the true owner behind this demon mask is someone we can't afford to mess with."

"Hehe, I never thought even a wise ruler would have moments of fear."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he licked his lips with his long tongue, his expression full of a desire to explore.

"I think the wise ruler shares the same thought as me, both of us wondering who the power behind this mask belongs to."

"Then you've sealed the power within the mask here!"

Akira Hatake spoke very quickly; he seemed a little anxious.

With his current strength, he is definitely in a class of his own in the ninja world, but if he were to encounter Otsutsuki Hagoromo, a true Six Paths level fighter, Hatake Akira would only have the option of waiting to die!

"if not?"

Orochimaru countered with a question to Akira Hatake: "If this power is not sealed here, the souls in this prison will definitely dissipate and disintegrate. Then how am I supposed to study the essence of the soul?"

"You mean... the reason these souls can exist in places other than the Pure Land is because of the power within this mask?"

Akira Hatake understood Orochimaru's reasons for doing this, but he was also worried about Orochimaru's ambition.

"Yes, it's thanks to the massive Yin Release technique hidden within the mask."

Orochimaru nodded. "If I can maintain the stability of the many souls in this prison, it will be crucial to my subsequent plans."

"What are your plans?" Akira Hatake asked instinctively.

"My plan is simple, yet ambitious!"

Orochimaru glanced at Akira Hatake, then puffed out his chest and pointed at the surrounding group of souls, "If... I create their bodies and then force their souls into them..."

"At that time, what do you think the ninja world will become?"

WC!

Akira Hatake couldn't help but swear, and at the same time, his blood boiled!

Chapter 273 Preparing to capture Hanzo the Salamander.

"Your Majesty, remember to send the 10 billion taels of research funding tomorrow."

Akira Hatake, who had spent most of the day in the lab, decided to leave.

However, before leaving, Orochimaru still reminded Akira Hatake about the 10 billion yen research funding.

"I know, I know!"

Without even turning his head, Akira Hatake responded to Orochimaru and hurriedly left the laboratory.

Hearing about such a large sum of money gave Akira Hatake a headache...

"Although Orochimaru spent a lot of money on scientific research, his results were still quite impressive."

After leaving the laboratory base, Akira Hatake remembered the ninja world reform plan that Orochimaru had explained to him in detail.

This plan is insane, involving the summoning and utilization of soul entities, the cloning, cultivation, and replication of physical bodies, the artificial synthesis and application of bloodline limits, and so on.

In short, if this plan succeeds, the future of Konoha and even the entire ninja world will be overturned.

Because the concept of reincarnation does not exist in the ninja world.

After death, the souls of humans in the ninja world enter the Pure Land, and once there, their souls remain there exclusively.

Without reincarnation, the quality of the souls of newborns in the ninja world cannot be guaranteed, and their talents will be uneven.

However, if it were possible to artificially summon the souls of some powerful individuals back from the Pure Land, and then use cloning technology to give their souls physical bodies.

So……

The ninja world will produce a continuous stream of powerful individuals, fundamentally solving the problems of insufficient talent and combat strength.

When the Otsutsuki clan from outer space invades, they will face an attack from hundreds or even thousands of Kage-level or higher powerhouses.

If you're even luckier, it's not impossible to cultivate a large number of Six Paths level experts using this method.

However, although the future is promising, Orochimaru's research is still in its early stages, and it will take a lot of time to accumulate results.

Putting that thought aside, Akira Hatake instantly passed through the water-ripple-shaped spatial barrier and arrived at the Hokage's office.

Akira Hatake needs to consult Minato Namikaze to see if Minato agrees to let him go to Amegakure to capture Hanzo the Salamander.

When Akira Hatake emerged from the water-like spatial fluctuations, Minato Namikaze, who was engrossed in handling government affairs at his desk, looked up.

"Ming, you've arrived."

"Good afternoon, teacher."

The two greeted each other, and the atmosphere was fairly harmonious.

At least until now, the relationship between the master and apprentice has not changed, and they still cooperate closely as before.

"Find a chair and sit down. I need to hurry up and sign these documents."

Minato Namikaze lowered his head again. After becoming the Hokage of Konoha, Minato's time was largely occupied. He was either on his way to handle government affairs or on his way home to take care of Kushina Uzumaki.

As a result, Minato Namikaze had very little free time, and his strength did not improve significantly due to the reduced amount of training.

"Teacher, please take a rest."

Akira Hatake couldn't stand it anymore. "You just need to grasp the general direction. If you try to do everything yourself, I'm worried you'll die young."

"You can only hope I'll be alright!"

Minato Namikaze raised his head again and glared at Akira Hatake. "You think I don't want to? I'm cleaning up your mess right now!"

"Me?" Akira Hatake pointed at himself with a look of astonishment. "What does this have to do with me?"

"Do you think you can implement all the reform proposals you've put forward just by talking?"

Minato Namikaze put down his pen, his face showing a lot of dissatisfaction with Akira Hatake. "You've been slacking off by hiding in the Ninja Academy and the Ninjutsu Library. I still have to worry about many of the details and specific implementation steps."

"Cough cough."
