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 sealed souls 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 that except for the fourth generation of 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? 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 same 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 and channeling technique that matches the formula?
There are not just one or two techniques like this in the ninja world, such as dirty earth reincarnation, earth escape reincarnation, etc. Long and even Gu Shan Bu Shui had speculated whether the god of death could simply be the ancestral spirit of a powerful senior 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 by future generations as a god of death.
Of course, no matter what the truth is, it doesn't matter. Now he is helping Gu Shan Bu Shui improve.
The "wedge" is the source of power in thawing speed. 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 autographed letter of the fourth generation of your village, and I don't understand something. I hope you can clear up your confusion." Maki acted as if 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..." Ma Ji solemnly explained,
"Whether it is Sunagakure Village, Konoha Village, or even the entire ninja world, no force has issued a reward for the Red Sand Scorpion, nor has it been announced as a traitor to ninja." Reward?
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 Bushui is similar to Tsunade's defection after killing Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The Sand Ninja valued the Red Sand Scorpion just as the Konoha Ninja valued Tsunade. Before seeing tangible evidence, it would be difficult for 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 introduction. You can just go directly to the important people of the Gusugi family." Just kidding!
If the Sand Ninja negotiated with Kosugi Bushui with the intention of seeking justice for the Red Sand Scorpion, they would fight if they disagreed. If there were casualties, it might trigger the Fourth Ninja World War.
At this time, the position of Konoha Village is definitely on the side of the Furusugi family. The Land of Fire versus the Land of Wind, the Konoha Ninja versus the Sand Ninja, there is no truth to be said. 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 to serve tea as a farewell to the guests, and Ma Ji couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Hokage-sama, we Suna ninja have no 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 that something is 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 is the second deputy of the Fire Nation. If you accuse them face to face of this If you lie about something and falsely accuse you Sand Ninjas, it will not end well." Among ninjas, the stronger can reason with the stronger, even if they lose; the strong can reason with the weak, and power is the right.
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 accused Gushan Bushui of spreading false news in front of Gushan Bushui, he could initiate a duel on the spot and kill the madman who had tarnished his reputation, and the Suna Ninja would not be able to say anything.
There is no room for you to regret your wrong words when dealing with other countries.
"I made a mistake. Don't blame me, Hokage-sama. We didn't mean to accuse, but the news came. It was so unbelievable that we couldn't accept it." Seeing that the beating was almost done, Sarutobi Hiruzen put on a amiable look. With an expression on his face, he said with a smile: "That's right! Don't be anxious, the third test of the Chuunin Examination is about to begin. You should take care of the things in front of you first. I will go to the Nobosugi family to ask about the situation. Yes Now, you can go talk to Mr. Liangzhong." The crown prince of the Fire Country, as long as he waits peacefully until his father retires, he can become the most powerful daimyo in the ninja world, and none of his brothers or sisters can compete 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 Qianyo has always felt that his grandson will not die so easily. However, this way of living is really too cruel to her old man."
"The last time the 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, can you Suna ninja offer conditions that will appease 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. We look 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 Suna Tie and Yinfeng who had been waiting for a long time.
"How is it?" Ma Ji shook his head bitterly and responded:
"It's most likely true."
"How could it be?" 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 been unable to find a young leader to boost morale.
There was no rising star comparable to 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 Nine-Tails 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 has failed to recover. The gap is really too big.
Ma Ji signaled that the sound should be calm, and then explained:
"We have overlooked one issue. 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, and 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 the Sunagakure Village are separated by several layers, so there is no direct conflict, but they do have economic ties with the Leaf Village. , although the relationship is good on the surface, the competition has never stopped secretly.
The rebellion of the guardian ninja leader Kazuma that happened a few years ago was actually about the dispute between the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Hokage.
A microcosm of the overt and covert struggle of "Jade". During the Third Ninja War, at the most critical moment of Konoha Village, the Furusugi 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 Nation 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 lost to someone like the Red Sand Scorpion?
Are "little things" tainted? I know it, I don’t want to believe it! After thinking about it for a while, Xiang Shatie asked: "Is there still no news from Elder Chiyo?" Up to now, there are only orders from the Kazekage fourth generation, Rasa. Could it be that Chiyo and Ebizo, the two elders who have retreated to the second line, really Died deep in the underground palace where he spent his whole life?
Ma Ji shook his head and asked tentatively: "Have you found any useful information in Konoha Village in the past two days? Has the Gushan family left any important figures of sufficient importance in Konoha Village?" Satie replied: "The eldest daughter of Major Governor Gusugi is studying at the Konoha Village Ninja School. She is ten years old this year..."
"Too young. Find someone who can talk."
"Togakushi Hinode, a childhood playmate of Major Governor Kosugi, 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 knows. Is there anything else?"
"The Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, Yoshijutsu..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ma Ji waving his hand.
"This person is not good. The defense is too tight. There is no special reason. He will not let us Suna ninja get close at all." Even if the Hokage wants to meet, he must make an appointment in advance. The etiquette is thorough, and the identities of Ma Ji and others cannot see Yoshigege at all. .

"The last one, Katsura Haruki, is the business person in charge of the Kosugi family in Konoha Village, and is now the God of Wealth of Konoha Ninja. He is the one who builds a large area of newly built residences south of the main road, and is the 'one-family house' that the locals are flocking to. In charge of the development.”
"Gui Zhiji?" After hearing this, Ma Ji muttered a few times and then analyzed to himself,
"The name Zhiji is very common. It is generally used by wealthy people with a certain culture and background. However, the surname Gui is a bit strange. Are you sure it's not called 'Gui Gong'?" Sha Tie flatly denied, "What if the surname is really 'Gui Gong'?" How could the prince's family in the palace engage in such vulgar business activities?"
"That's right! Keep an eye on this person first. If you can't find any other direction, you can contact him." After the plan was decided, the three Sand Ninjas began to discuss and write a letter about the recent events in Konoha Village. Send the message back to Sunagakure Village and let the Fourth Generation Kazekage know.
...The middle-aged man who is being remembered——Gui Zhiji, in
The sales department of "One House Construction" received the bearded Sarutobi Asuma. Other customers can just let their subordinates arrange it. The son of the current Hokage must be more serious and handle it properly. It will also be an excellent publicity for the sale of commercial housing.
"Manager Gui, does the house you are selling this time have a relatively large area, a relatively high floor, and sufficient sunlight? I would like to grow some flowers and plants on the terrace in the future. If the location and orientation are not good, it will be troublesome." In fact, Sarutobi Asuma, a rough guy, grows crazy flowers because Yuhi Kurenai has this little hobby. If the above conditions are met, that would be great.
"Yes, yes, Master Asma, we have reserved several top-notch houses, specially prepared for customers with special customization needs. But..." Long Gui Zhiji complained with half truth and half falsehood. ,
"I hope you also understand that these high-quality houses have been customized by specialized designers after paying deposits in advance. We cannot directly transfer them to you unless someone gives up the reservation..."
"It's so troublesome! Is anyone giving up now?"
"Not yet, after all, it has just started selling." The bearded man frowned slightly, thought for a while and then continued to ask,
"Can you let me see their information? I'll discuss it with them and see if anyone is willing to give up."
"Sorry, it is inconvenient for us to disclose customer privacy, but..." Haruki Kuei said with an attitude of being willing to consider Asuma Sarutobi,
"If someone gives up, we will notify you as soon as possible. What do you think of Master Asma?"
"Yes, yes, we can just wait like this? If all the ordinary houses outside are sold out, wouldn't it mean that we won't be able to buy anything?"
"You can pay a deposit first! Even if no one gives up on customizing high-quality housing, we can still arrange a top-notch ordinary 'one-family house' for you, so you won't get nothing."
"Okay!" Anyway, Sarutobi Asuma was really sincere in buying a house this time. Not only did he spend his savings over the years, but he also borrowed a lot of money from his father and relatives.
Although I haven't thought about the direct benefits of doing this, if you can let Yuhi Hong look at it, at least it will be better than doing nothing!
