After the villagers woke up, they simply explained the course of the matter, and left amidst the thanks of the villagers.
On the way back, Tenma was still worried about looking at the back of his hand. The feeling of burning all over his body was really uncomfortable, and he didn't want to experience it again.
Although Satoru said that he had cleared the marks attached to them, his heart had already left a shadow on the Fire God. Moreover, the Fire God had not died yet, which made Tenma unavoidably more worried.
But although the Fire God escaped this time, Hatake Satoru did not intend to let him go. The next time he saw him, it would be when he saw the Shinigami.
After two days, they finally returned to Konohagakure Village. When they arrived in Konohagakure Village, Tenma breathed a sigh of relief. After all, home is the safest place for anyone.
"Okay, you all go home and rest now, I will report the task by myself."
"Yes, Satoru-sensei, then I'll trouble you."
The faces of Tenma and others all showed obvious fatigue. On the way back, they never rested well. Even when they were resting, their hearts were frightened. The shadow of this trip to the ghost gate was not so easy to forget.
After watching several people leave, the next second, Satoru's figure appeared directly in the Hokage office.
And this time, as soon as Satoru entered Konohagakure Village, Minato had already sensed the other's chakra, so this time Minato had already prepared in advance.
"Did the task go smoothly?"
Namikaze Minato doesn't need to ask if the task is completed, because as soon as Hatake Satoru makes a move, there is no task that cannot be completed. So far, Hatake Satoru is the only man with a 100% task completion rate.
"It's okay, my two disciples almost died."
Although the tone of saying this sentence seemed a bit indifferent, the expression on Hatake Satoru's face could be said to be quite solemn.
"Huh?"
Hearing what Hatake Satoru said, Minato and Shikaku, who was standing behind him, first showed a surprised expression, and then a solemn expression appeared. Being able to almost kill his two disciples in front of Hatake Satoru shows how tricky the enemy they encountered this time is.
"What kind of enemy did you guys encounter?"
Shikaku asked directly, which is also the question Minato wanted to ask.
"We encountered a god."
"God? You're not joking with us right?"
Shikaku said in surprise.
"Do you think I'm in a joking state right now?"
Seeing the serious expression on Hatake Satoru's face, Minato and Shikaku knew that this might be true.
"Does this world really have gods?"
Minato said to himself with a serious expression.
"You should know, Minato."
"Hmm?"
Minato looked at Satoru with a puzzled look, how should he know?
"You should know the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, right? Think about what the principle of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal is."
"Dead Demon Consuming Seal? What is the Dead Demon Consuming Seal?"
Shikaku, who was next to the two of them, was also confused when he heard this Ninjutsu. After all, the Dead Demon Consuming Seal is completely a top-level forbidden technique, even if he is the Hokage's assistant, he is not qualified to know.
"Dead Demon Consuming Seal, a kind of seal that summons the Shinigami to seal the opponent, is very powerful, and the cost of the user is to dedicate his own soul to the Shinigami."
Minato said seriously.
"Did you guys encounter the Shinigami this time?"
Minato asked in shock, his eyes wide open.
"No, we encountered the Fire God, but it should be the same kind of thing as the Shinigami of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal."
"Unexpectedly, our world really has gods?"
Shikaku shook his head with a bitter smile. If one day they have to be enemies with these gods, do they have a chance of winning? They don't know anything about these gods now.
"But the title of god is not quite correct."
"What do you mean?"
Minato and Shikaku stared at Hatake Satoru again.
"Instead of saying they are gods, it's better to say they are powerful spirit beasts."
"Spirit beasts? God is actually a spirit beast?"
Shikaku's surprised voice rang directly in the Hokage office.
"It can be considered that way, but the strength of these gods is exceptionally strong, and ordinary ninjas want to deal with them, it can almost be said to be a dead end, because physical attacks have no effect on them."
Hearing Hatake Satoru's description, Minato's mind suddenly flashed the figure of the masked man, that is, Uchiha Obito.
The other party's ability to become ethereal can also dodge all physical attacks.
"Physical attacks have no effect? Then if these guys become our enemies one day, how should we defeat them?"
Shikaku asked again.
"Not one day to become our enemy, these gods are originally enemies of humans."
When he said this, Hatake Satoru's tone was very firm. He didn't know if there were good gods, but as far as Hatake Satoru knew, none of these three gods were good.
"And if you want to defeat them, either use powerful Genjutsu, or use attacks that target the soul."
"Genjutsu is the most difficult to practice and the most demanding talent among the three techniques. There are very few powerful Genjutsu ninjas, and there should be no means against the soul, right?"
After all, the soul can be said to be an elusive thing for them.
"Who knows? Maybe there is a secret technique against the soul somewhere. After all, the Dead Demon Consuming Seal is also against the soul. But I think if you really want to study the soul, Orochimaru should be a good candidate. I think Orochimaru is also very interested in studying the soul."
"Admittedly, Orochimaru's talent is good, but can he really research a method to attack the soul?"
If Orochimaru can really help Konohagakure research a method to counter the soul, they can now completely cancel Orochimaru's wanted, and let bygones be bygones for what Orochimaru has done before.
"Who knows? If it doesn't work, you can also resurrect the Second Hokage with the Impure World Reincarnation. After all, the Impure World Reincarnation is also a means to pull the soul back from the yellow Izumi to the body. I think the Second Hokage should have some research on the soul."
Hearing Satoru say this, Minato directly frowned at Hatake Satoru.
These methods of Hatake Satoru are really one more outrageous than the other, even thinking of the method of resurrecting the Second Hokage with the Impure World Reincarnation.
"But if you don't want to desecrate the ancestors, I can't help it, but Minato, I think you can ask the Great Toad Sage, I think he should have some reliable methods."
Satoru also knows that what he said is unreliable. It's okay to recall Orochimaru, but if you want to resurrect the Second Hokage with the Impure World Reincarnation, Minato's position as the Fourth Hokage may not be preserved.
"Great Toad Sage."
In Minato's mind, the image of that giant toad suddenly appeared, as well as the unbearable experience of practicing Senjutsu in Mount Myoboku.
