One thing is actually quite strange. The Uzumaki family has developed a forbidden sealing technique - after all the corpses are sealed, it is impossible not to use it even once.

Even if someone finally cuts open the God of Death's belly and releases all the souls sealed inside, he will still be swallowed as a sacrifice.

Logically speaking, as long as it has been used, the body of the Shinigami cannot be empty, unless like Orochimaru, he has the ability to use another forbidden technique to compete.

After getting the Death Mask, Gu Shan Bu Shui also checked how many souls were sealed by the Death inside.

In the history of nearly a thousand years, it should have been full of them!

But the truth is, except for the Fourth Hokage - Minato Namikaze and the Yin Nine Tails in his body, there is no one else.

Where have all the souls that were swallowed by death gone?

Has it been digested?

Does the God of Death's belly still have this function?

After imagining many possibilities and chatting with Kaguya Otsutsuki for a long time, I came to a surprising conclusion.

The Shinigami is most likely a natural spirit or indigenous god like Umibozu, who was captured and transformed by the ancestors of the Uzumaki family, just like he transformed it into the incarnation of the "God of Rivers".

If Kosugi Fusui dies in the future, can his descendants use the power accumulated by the remaining Umibozu, the god of rivers?

A bit difficult, but not impossible.

For example, wouldn't it be enough to call the dead soul of Kosugi Bushui back from the Pure Land, completely integrate it with Lord Umibo, and then transform it into a sealing technique and a channeling technique that match the formula?

There are not just one or two techniques like this in the ninja world, such as the Earth Escape Reincarnation Technique, the Earth Escape Reincarnation Technique, etc.

Gusugi Bosui even speculated whether the Death God might simply be the ancestral spirit of a powerful senior member of the Uzumaki family who returned to his ancestors. In order to protect the family, he directly transformed himself into an ancestral spirit and was used as a Death God by future generations.

Of course, no matter what the truth is, it doesn't matter. Now he is the source of power that helps Gu Shan Bu Shui increase the speed of the "wedge" thawing.

In order to obtain the qualification to refine the seeds of the sacred tree this year, Gu Shan Bu Shui also had to work hard.

…

At the same time, thousands of kilometers away in Konoha Village, the third generation of the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, said to Maki with some embarrassment:

"I have read the letter written by the fourth generation of your village. I don't understand something. I hope you can clear up my confusion."

Maki acted like he was all ears, waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen to ask questions. The Hokage Sandaime, who was not in any hurry, knocked the ashtray with his pipe, coughed a few times, and then asked slowly:

"Whether it is the Red Sand Scorpion or Deidara, they are both traitorous ninjas. I wonder how the Sand Ninja is going to face them? Especially the Scorpion, which is the culprit that directly triggered the Third Ninja War."

"Your Majesty Hokage, please forgive me for reminding you..."

Markey solemnly explained,

"Whether it is Sunagakure Village, Konoha Village, or even the entire ninja world, no force has issued a bounty for the Red Sand Scorpion, nor has it been declared a traitor to the ninja."

Bounty?

announcement?

Of course, these are impossible, because more than ten years ago, everyone thought that the Red Sand Scorpion must be in trouble after many years of disappearance, and they never thought about the possibility of him defecting after killing the Kazekage Sandaime.

Just like before Orochimaru was caught and exposed for killing his compatriots for taboo experiments, how many people would think that he would betray the Leaf Village?

The nature of the news released by Kosugi Bosui is similar to Tsunade's defection after killing Sarutobi Hiruzen. The Sand Ninja values ​​the Red Sand Scorpion just as the Konoha Ninja values ​​Tsunade.

Before seeing tangible evidence, it would be difficult for the Suna Ninja to believe that the Red Sand Scorpion assassinated the Kazekage Sandaime and then defected.

"If you Sand Ninjas think so, there seems to be no need to seek our recommendation. You can just go directly to the important person in the Fusagi family."

joke!

If the Suna Ninja negotiate with Kosugi Bushui with the intention of seeking justice for the Red Sand Scorpion, they will fight if they can't disagree. If there are casualties, it may trigger the Fourth Ninja World War.

At this time, the position of Konoha Village is definitely on the side of the Furugi family.

The Land of Fire versus the Land of Wind, the Konoha Ninja versus the Sand Ninja, there is no reason to argue. The truth is at the tip of the kunai. If you want to intercede, you have to fight first.

As soon as they disagreed, Sarutobi Hiruzen offered tea as a farewell to the guests, and Ma Ji couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Hokage-sama, we Suna ninja have never had any contact with the Furusugi family. We don't know how to deal with the great nobles of the Fire Country. It seems a little inappropriate to come here rashly."

"You also know what's wrong? Then don't talk nonsense! I can treat it as if you said the wrong thing out of anger. Major Governor Gu Shan won't care so much. That's the second deputy of the Fire Nation. If you accuse them face to face of this

If I lie about something and frame you Sand Ninjas, it will not end well."

Among ninjas, the strong can reason with the strong even if they lose; the strong can reason with the weak, and power is reason.

However, for the great nobles, the way they conduct themselves is not only based on strength, reputation and respect, but also the source of their righteousness.

If a ninja from another country blatantly accuses Gushan Bushui of spreading false news in front of Gushan Bushui, he can initiate a duel on the spot and kill the madman who has tarnished his reputation, and the Suna Ninja will not be able to say anything.

In dealings between countries, there is no room for you to regret saying something wrong.

"I made a mistake. Don't blame me, Hokage-sama. We don't mean to accuse. It's just that the news has come. It's so unbelievable that we can't accept it."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that he was almost done beating, he put on a amiable expression and said with a smile:

"That's right! Don't be impatient. The third test of the Chuunin Examination is about to begin. You should take care of the things in front of you first. I'll go to the Shinkosugi family and ask about the situation. By the way, you can go to Liangshuge.

Let’s take a look at what’s going on.”

The heir apparent of the Fire Nation, as long as he waits for his father to retire, he can become the most powerful daimyo in the ninja world, without any brothers or sisters competing with him.

"Then... I'll trouble you, Hokage-sama."

Ma Ji nodded,

"What we are more concerned about now is whether the Red Sand Scorpion is still alive. Elder Chiyo has always felt that his grandson will not die so easily. However, this way of living is really too cruel to her."

"When the last information came back, he probably wasn't dead yet. Now, it's hard to say. I still know a little about Major Governor Gushan. Since the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara were not executed immediately, then

It proves that there is still room for bargaining. The question is whether you Suna ninja can offer conditions that will appease the anger of Major Governor Gusugi."

"I know, thanks for the tip, I'll tell the village and let the Yondaime make up his mind."

"Very good! That's it for today. I'm looking forward to the Suna Ninja candidates' performance in the third test."

After saluting, Ma Ji returned to the hotel where he was staying, and was surrounded by Sha Tie and Yin Feng, who had been waiting for a long time.

"How about it?"

Ma Ji shook his head bitterly and responded:

"It's most likely true."

"how come?"

Yinfeng was the first one who couldn't accept it. It was not easy for Sunagakure Village to produce a genius, especially a young hero like the Red Sand Scorpion.

Since the shameful death of Ye Cang, the commander of the Burning Escape, Sunagakure Village has not been able to find a young leader to boost morale.

There was no rising star on par with the endless stream of geniuses in Konoha, but Gaara, the madman who would bring disaster, appeared.

Frustrated, low in morale, and at a loss what to do, this was the state of Sunagakure Village during this period. As Konohagakure watched helplessly as it recovered its strength, it suffered successive major setbacks such as the Kyuubi's attack on the village, Orochimaru's defection, and the genocide of the Uchiha clan, but it still did not change its prosperity.

In terms of situation, Sunagakure Village is in a state of collapse. The gap is really too big.

Ma Ji signaled that the sound should be calm, and then explained:

"We have overlooked a problem. The Fusagi family is not a ninja village, nor is it a rebel ninja organization. They are not our direct competitors to the Sand Ninjas. They have no malicious intention to put the shit basin on our heads. Rather, the name of the Fire Country

There is even more trouble between the Furusugi family and the Leaf Village."

The Furusugi family and Sunagakure Village are separated by several layers, so there is no direct conflict. However, they do have economic relations with Konoha Village. Although the relationship is good on the surface, the competition secretly has never stopped.

The rebellion of the guardian ninja leader Kazuma that happened a few years ago is actually a microcosm of the overt and covert struggle over "Jade" between the Fire Nation daimyo and the Hokage.

During the Third Ninja War, when Konoha Village was in the most critical moment, the Fusagi family only provided material and military support, without any immediate consequences.

The conflict between ninja villages is called the Ninja World War, but at most it is a battle between ninja villages. The Fire Country takes action personally, and other major countries follow suit. The rules of not harming innocent civilians are no longer followed. That is the real dark world war.

.

Don't the few sand ninjas understand that a great noble like the Kosugi family will not let their reputation that has been maintained for thousands of years be tarnished by a "little thing" like the Red Sand Scorpion?

I know, I know, I don’t want to believe it!

Shatie thought for a while and asked:

"Is there still no news from Elder Qianyo?"

Up to now, only the fourth generation of the Kazekage, Rasa, had given orders. Could it be that Chiyo and Ebizo, the two elders who had taken a back seat, really died deep in the underground palace where they spent their remaining years?

Marki shook his head and asked tentatively:

"Have you found any useful information in Konoha Village in the past two days? Has the Furusu family left any important figures in Konoha Village?"

Shatie replied:

"The eldest daughter of Major Governor Gusugi is studying at the Konoha Village Ninja School. She is ten years old this year..."

"It's too young. Find someone who can talk."

"Togakushi Hinode, a childhood playmate of Major Governor Furusugi, a best friend who came to Konoha Village to study together, a close confidant, and now a senior teacher at the ninja school."

"You can go and get in touch, but I know this person. He has been stationed in Konoha Village for a long time. It's hard to say how much latest news he can know. Is there anything else?"

"The Crown Prince of the Fire Nation is Liangzhong..."
