At dusk, the family land of the Uzumaki became more and more lively.
Akabane was fortunate enough to be invited over, along with the observation of the ritual, and a Calamity Tribulation. Uzumaki Clan's population was greatly reduced, and the training field where the celebration was located was not even full.
However, the place of worship was not in the training ground, but in a small forest not far from the training ground.
An ancestral hall was built in this small forest.
As the large group arrived outside the woods, Akabane saw the inside, Fusang sat down, kneeling before a mask, muttering words.
The distance is too far, it is not clear what she is saying, but it should be a sacrificial word.
Akabane watched silently while observing the masks.
There are many faces.
However, among these masks, only one side is related to the god of death, through which the ghoul ban and release can be performed, and then the soul that was swallowed in before is released.
Although it has to pay a certain price, it can be seen that this "god of death" must be related to the Uzumaki clan, and even said that he is probably the ancestor of the Uzumaki clan.
Akabane was full of curiosity.
Secretly, he released his perception and Observation Haki, trying to observe the strangeness on the mask through his powerful perception ability, but he did not find any results...
Maybe it was far away, or maybe the ceremony didn't start, so he couldn't see the flaw at all.
Not far away, Uzumaki Mito stood quietly, near the small ancestral hall where the sacrifice was held, but her eyes were fixed on one of the masks.
That mask is only needed for the highest sacrifice.
Akabane walked to her and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, that mask..."
"Shh, wait."
Uzumaki Mito's eyes remained motionless.
It didn't take long.
Fusang stretched out her hands and held a mask from the mask stand. The voice in her mouth became louder and louder. It was a peculiar spell, and it seemed to be a sacrificial word.
Afterwards, everyone followed.
Under the night, the forest they were in is like having a bonfire party, so lively, and in the middle is the Uzumaki Fusang wearing a mask.
From her, Akabane felt the more powerful Chakra.
this is...
Akabane's eyes widened, and at this moment he finally felt the power of the mask - this sacrifice made Fusang stronger.
Kind of like, bloodline purification?
He couldn't say it for sure, but he looked sideways at Uzumaki Mito and found that she was also frowning, apparently, she also found the abnormality of Fusang's body——
She was not unaware of this situation before, but this time she was the clearest.
Fusang's blood is getting stronger.
And her physique is getting closer to Uzumaki Mito.
"The people around have weakened to a certain extent. This is a...ceremony that requires a price."
Uzumaki Mito whispered.
She was not far away from Akabane, so the whispered words were not heard by the others.
Although Tsunade wanted to get closer, there were a bunch of people in between, so she had to watch Akabane whispering to her grandma from a distance.
When he was reminded, Akabane noticed the people around him. This weakening was so weak that it was almost imperceptible. Only Uzumaki Mito could find traces.
But...
After Akabane was reminded, he also noticed the changes.
Their physique seems to have been "looted"!?
Of course, it's just that everyone "robbed" a bit, and the power of the mask seemed to gather them on Fusang, bringing Fusang's physique and blood line closer to their ancestors.
"It's no wonder that in each generation, the patriarch will choose those who have the most vigour and those who have the most chakra among the tribe to be the priest. So that's how it is."
Uzumaki Mito sighed in a low voice.
The Uzumaki family has a special physique. According to her speculation, it may be related to the blood of their ancestors, and each generation will always produce one or two people with particularly strong physiques.
For example, she, and Uzumaki Tomoe.
Uzumaki Tomoe's physique far surpassed the other ten children. Even Fusang who went through the ceremony was not as good as Tomoe. As for surpassing Mito, it was even more impossible.
Originally, if there were no accidents, the blood of the Uzumaki clan would gradually weaken, just like the current Senju Clan…
But it seems that's not going to happen.
As long as there are Uzumaki Tribes, who know the ritual, the Uzumaki Clan will strive once again from its fall!
Akabane looked at Fusang thoughtfully, with some understanding in his heart.
In the original story, Uzumaki Kushina physique was definitely strong, she could use the Adamantine Sealing Chains to control Nine-Tails, and possessed a very strong sealing ability.
At that time, the Uzumaki Village had been wiped out, and the inheritance was cut off. There were no ceremonies to be held. In addition, the Uzumaki members who survived intermarried with foreigners, so the blood and physique gradually weakened.
In this way, the importance of the death mask to the Uzumaki clan need not be said, but it is probably only useful to the Uzumaki clan, even if Akabane takes it, he cannot use its effect in this respect.
In addition, one's own blood comes from an exchange.
Taking it will not benefit him at all, and Akabane does not know how to use the sealing technique, and cannot really make good use of the mask. In the end, it may cause a commotion.
At this time, the sacrifice has ended.
Uzumaki Mito took Akabane out of the forest, thinking about the situation as she walked.
Akabane took a few steps and couldn't help asking: "Grandma, where did those masks come from?"
"I don't know, but...maybe the ancestors of our clan left it behind, and I even suspect that the 'death god' involved in the ghoul seal is probably the ancestor of the Uzumaki clan."
Uzumaki Mito sighed.
Although they are just unfounded guesses, she does have this feeling faintly, but this is very strange, why did the ancestors turn themselves into death gods?
Few people in the clan use ghouls to seal them all up, so no one has really seen what a god of death looks like.
Akabane saw the mask of death and became more curious in his heart.
That night.
When he perceived that everyone had gone to sleep, Akabane activated his Eternal Mangekyo, and then created another Akabane, and asked him to "replace" himself to check the mask.
In the ancestral hall in the middle of the night, only some people on the periphery take care of the mask.
"Akabane" is the actual effect of illusion, it has the ability to switch between illusion and entity, so no one noticed it and walked into the ancestral hall.
In the world of illusion, Akabane saw this mask through it.
Its whole body is weird and full of peculiar power. From it, Akabane "sees" a weird mark.
This mark may be associated with death.
But...
Akabane had no further thoughts of exploring.
He came to see the Death Mask, mostly to satisfy the curiosity in his heart. On the other hand, he came out to avoid the limelight. This Death Mask was of little use to him, and there was no need to take risks to steal it.
As a result, Akabane plans to return to Konoha tomorrow.
...
At this time, in the Hidden Cloud Village, the Anbu Ninja hurriedly sent the latest comic update.
The Raikage A sat in a chair, finished all the affairs impatiently, and was about to go to sleep.
As a result...
"My lord, comic...the comic, it's here."
The Anbu ninja was panting.
He ran back from the country of fire without stopping in the middle. This exhaustion made him want to lie down and have a good night's sleep, but before that he wanted to deliver the comics to A.
"Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry. Anyway, it's delivered, let me see.."
The Third Raikage A said but still took it.
He originally wanted to go to rest, but seeing his subordinates deliver it so dutifully, it was hard for him to talk about sleeping first.
In addition, he is really curious about the follow-up development.
The follow-up of the comic will inevitably involve the Hidden Cloud Village. After all, the previous chapter was talking about the Eight tailed and nine tailed beasts. And the Eight Tailed beasts belong to Hidden Cloud Village. In addition, according to the prophecy of the Toad Sage, Naruto must find the eight tails to complete his final training.
What development will it be?
The Third Raikage A held his head and opened the comic and began to read.
In the beginning, Naruto and Killer B met, this is not surprising, but when the Falls of Truth appeared, and how a ninja from Hidden Cloud Village talked about it, The Third Raikage A face finally turned ugly!
The Falls of Truth are currently the top secret of Hidden Cloud Village. Even the people in the village do not know it and the trails in it, let alone outsiders...
But Kurama Akabane knew it!
"Did someone leak it? No, it's impossible!"
The Third Raikage A's mentality is about to explode, how could that kid named Karma Akabane know so much!
But…
Is it true that the Falls of Truth can make a Jinchuriki power stronger?
He couldn't be sure.
Conquering the dark side of oneself is not easy after all, and even he didn't dare to fight his own dark side. And Naruto's victory over the enemy with his mouth alone is completely a fantasy operation, and it is basically impossible to reproduce.
"My lord..."
"You go to rest first."
The Third Raikage A waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.
The Anbu ninja left. He stayed in the office for a while, then left the office and returned home.
And Fukai has been taken home by him.
At this time Fukai was not older than his age, and he had good talents and abilities. After sealing the eight tails in his body, he did indeed suppress the tail beast and fulfilled the duties of being a Jinchuriki.
In order to ensure that he will not go violently, the Third Raikage A even took time every day to chat with him, tell stories, and talk to him. It can be said that he did his best in all aspects.
Only comics, he has been hesitating whether to show it to him or not.
Maybe it's time to show Fukai the comics. If the villagers know that Fukai becomes a Jinchuriki, it will become a new vicious circle...
Remembering how all the Jinchuriki were treated in the comics, the Third Raikage A thought that he must not let that kind of thing happen again on Fukai, especially Fukai in berserk, he will never allow it!
Back home, Fukai is not sleeping.
Only after hearing the movement, he pretended to sleep for the first time...
however.
Soon, the Third Raikage A walked into his room, put down a pile of comic books, sat on the floor and said, "Fukai, I won't tell you a story today, Instead, I brought you comics, you can read it yourself."
"Comic?"
Fukai, who was pretending to be asleep, sat up immediately, leaned over and took a look, and said thoughtfully, "This is also drawn by Kurama Akabane...not One Piece, another set of comics?"
"Yes, and I am here to read it with you."
That's right.
He wants Fukai to truly control the Eight Tailed Beast, instead of simply becoming a Jinchuriki and being disgusted by others, he should have a brighter future, and even... inherit his position!
