People raise Hokage in Yunyin

When the moon was dark and the wind was high, two figures stepped into a room on the outskirts of Konoha Village.

A pattern of the Uzumaki clan hangs high in the middle of the room, and various masks hang on the walls below.

"Teacher, what are we doing here?"

Rooshu pulled down the hood on his head and looked around curiously.

"There is something waiting for me here."

Orochimaru took a few steps forward and looked at the mask on the wall.

"Yes, this is it!"

After a while, he took down a strange mask with a pale face and two horns from the wall with a smile on his face. The strange expression and cracked mouth corners added a bit of horror to it.

"I obtained the secret information about the corpse sealing technique from the Uzumaki clan's ruins and many classics."

Noticing the curious look on the tree beside him, Orochimaru naturally began to explain.

"The Namen Hall outside Konoha Village contains many masks of the Uzumaki clan, and this one is the most special among them."

He put the mask on his face, and familiar marks began to form on his hands.

"As long as this is done, you can summon the dead god of death who has sealed the corpse to possess you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and gloomy figure slowly emerged from behind Orochimaru, it was the God of Death himself.

Orochimaru's spirit body also floated out of his body and floated directly opposite the Shinigami.

'Such soul strength, such solidity...'

'The most important thing is...can actually compete with Pure Land for souls! ’

There was a hint of envy in Orochimaru's eyes. Perhaps the only shortcoming of the 'God of Death' was his lack of intelligence.

He shook his head to dispel the desire for research in his mind. There was still business to be done at the moment.

Stretching out one hand, the spirit's right hand was as sharp as a knife, easily cutting a wound on the abdomen of the 'God of Death' in front of him.

Almost at the same time, Orochimaru's body and abdomen also opened a hole, and a large amount of blood spurted out from it.

"teacher?"

Naoki looked at Orochimaru's spirit body floating in the air in surprise.

"It doesn't matter, just wait and fix it when you get back."

Orochimaru comforted Naoki casually, his eyes fixed on the 'Reaper' who began to undergo changes.

Huge wounds burst open on both sides, and light blue spiritual bodies flew out one after another.

‘Why so many? ’

Orochimaru's spirit body descended and casually wrapped around the open wound. The functions of his body would only affect his actions and would not have much impact on his life. What was worthy of his attention at this moment was undoubtedly the scene in front of him. .

He looked at the pale blue spirits that were flying out from the wounds of the God of Death, and he was a little confused for a moment.

Has the technique of sealing away ghosts been abused to this extent?

As the spirit body flew away, a soul that was obviously a few sizes larger slowly flew up. Through the faint chakra outer flame, a familiar figure came into view.

"Master Sarutobi..."

Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's spirit body being slowly sucked into the Pure Land, and felt a little complicated for a moment.

'No matter what, I am finally free...'

He had no intention of disturbing his teacher anymore. In any case, dying on the battlefield was already the best fate for a Hokage.

Looking away, Orochimaru's attention was attracted by the spirit body that finally flew out.

The light blue coat, the same as that of other spirits, suddenly took on a touch of silver.

Immediately afterwards, the group of light blue spirits seemed to begin to grow in size, like steamed buns soaked in water.

No, to be precise, it should be extended.

Just like all the chakra that had been restrained inside was released, the blue fire ball in front of him gradually turned into a familiar figure.

"Watergate?"

Orochimaru looked in shock at Minato, who was completely different from his previous spirit body.

Minato seemed to hear his call, and his eyes slowly opened.

After a brief period of confusion, his eyes became clear, with a sense of sudden enlightenment.

"Mr. Orochimaru, thank you for your help. I don't have much time. If there is still a chance..."

He nodded slightly, and the outside of his body was suddenly dyed with a golden tailcoat, and then turned into a stream of light and flew through the wall.

He flew high into the sky above Konoha, followed the guidance in the dark, and flew away in one direction at high speed.

When passing by a building, Minato seemed to feel something and hesitated for a rare moment.

After briefly feeling the condition of his body, he rushed into a house below.

Under the dark night, Jiraiya, who was sleeping soundly, turned over and opened his eyes drowsily as if he suddenly felt something.

In the vaguely opened pupils, a figure as warm as the warm sun shone in, as if saying something.

"It's Minato...what's wrong so late?"

Jiraiya muttered.

"Jiraiya-sensei, thank you for all these years...Naruto...just let nature take its course..."

There was a vaguely familiar voice, and then it disappeared.

Jiraiya turned over again, as if he was going to fall into sleep again.

But he didn't. He sat up suddenly, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Watergate?"

There was nothing in the empty room, let alone anyone.

'Is this a dream...'

He lay down again, somewhat dejectedly.

By this time, Minato, who had become a spirit, had already continued on his way.

He flew over the residential area, and in front of him was a relatively remote three-story building, where his secret destination was.

Through the roof, he "passed" into the corridor on the third floor. What caught his eye was Hibiscus, leaning against the door with a sad look on her face.

'long time no see……'

A slight smile naturally appeared on Minato's face, and memories of the past flowed out from everywhere in his mind.

"Minato Namikaze?"

He heard the other party's somewhat surprised voice.

Minato didn't say anything, he just stretched out his right fist at the right time.

As the fists collided, similar chakras interacted with each other like echoes. Like spirits, they penetrated the minds of the two people, and what they should know was all left unsaid.

"So, as we agreed?"

He asked softly with a smile, but there was a hint of certainty in his words.

"Of course!"

This is the obvious answer.

Minato leaned forward slightly, expressing his gratitude to the other party, and then looked at the child through the thin wooden door in front of him.

There were still some tears in the corners of Naruto's eyes, and he couldn't wipe away the sadness on his face. He was leaning against the door, seemingly full of vigilance and uneasiness.

"Naruto……"

Minato smiled, stretched out his hands, leaned over and slowly embraced the boy on the ground.

Golden chakra surged out of his body and slowly soaked into Naruto's body as he embraced him.

"I owe you this, Yondaime..."

There was a faint sound coming.

Whether it was the infiltration of chakra or Minato's embrace, the sadness in Naruto's brows seemed to be smoothed away, and stability and calm appeared on his face.

The corners of his eyes moved slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

Minato just watched the scene in front of him quietly, his time had already run out.

Invisible pulling power came from all over him, and his light blue body began to gradually fade, and finally dissipated in place.

Next, there are other tasks...

In the pure land, Minato with clear eyes crawled out from the surface.
