-------------------------------------------------------------
As the first ray of sunlight touched the ground at dawn, Kaito silently left the boundaries of Konoha.
After a night of calculations, he fully understood the impending crisis.
It seemed like merely sealing a Shinigami, but it would attract a whole host of enemies.
Without prior preparation, it would indeed be dangerous.
After all, Obito's abilities were too well-suited for surprise attacks.
To break this deadlock, there was actually a very simple method.
Just like the time he purified the Box of Ultimate Bliss, he could ride Gurē's back and move from high altitudes, searching for a deserted island in the vast ocean.
This way, he could avoid the tracking of those white monsters from the beginning, and the Akatsuki organization did not have the same deep resources as the Five Great Nations to send so many people to search the vast ocean.
Even if they did find him, the time delay would be enough for him to deal with the Shinigami.
This was the first method Kaito thought of to break the situation.
However, he immediately dismissed it.
As Chiri had mentioned, it was very likely that Black Zetsu was already aware of his plan to revive King Enma's power.
It was conceivable that he would do everything to stop it.
Moreover, that crazy guy Obito seemed eager to eliminate him.
Kaito couldn't just keep hiding from them.
Because he wanted to use Obito to resurrect Kaguya, he had let him go once before.
Now, Kaito had a better idea.
...
After reuniting with Gurē, Kaito rode on its back to the ruins of Uzushiogakure in the Land of Whirlpools.
"Gurē, you leave here first, as far as possible," Kaito said after landing.
"Alright, be careful yourself," Gurē said, used to this situation, then flapped its wings and flew away.
Kaito stepped into the ruins of Uzushiogakure, observing the surroundings.
Over the decades, the remnants of Uzushiogakure had been covered by vegetation, making it unrecognizable.
He was sure that after the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, this place had been ransacked countless times by different people.
However, he wasn't here for the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, just for a place where he wouldn't be disturbed.
Kaito kept walking until he arrived at a barely standing dilapidated house.
Crossing the collapsed wall, Kaito looked up at the roof with a large hole.
This was once the ancestral shrine of the Uzumaki clan.
"Hidden deep in the earth, Ryūmyaku, pulse of the planet, source of life, appear and grant protection, by my command!"
Standing outside the ancestral shrine, Kaito communicated with the Ryūmyaku.
"Ryūmyaku Lock!"
A golden chain shot out from the ground, like a serpent's tongue, and quickly plunged into the distant ground.
"Ahhh..."
With a shrill scream, a completely white human figure was dragged out of the ground by the chain.
"Perfect, I just need a sacrifice."
Kaito looked satisfied at the white creature dragged to his feet.
White Zetsu struggled for a while, then lay still, staring at Kaito with a strange smile.
Kaito coldly stared back, his eyes spinning into a five-pointed star, and a continuous stream of spiritual energy invaded White Zetsu's mind.
Moments later, White Zetsu's eyes turned blood-red, and it stood respectfully in front of Kaito.
"Put this on and infuse it with chakra in one go," Kaito handed the Shinigami mask to White Zetsu.
White Zetsu obediently took the Shinigami mask and placed it on its face.
As chakra was infused, a cold energy enveloped them.
Kaito looked up to see the Shinigami sneering at him.
The Shinigami's body was semi-transparent, like a spirit, with horns on its head, sharp teeth and claws, wearing a white robe, disheveled hair, and a short sword clamped in its mouth.
It spread its arms, slowly descending from the air, floating behind White Zetsu.
"Cackle cackle..." A strange laugh echoed in Kaito's ears, the Shinigami didn't open its mouth, but the voice was transmitted, "You finally found me, Onmyoji."
"So, you know what I intend to do," Kaito said calmly.
The Shinigami's cold voice continued, "Indeed, I know everything."
"But you still appeared, are you that confident?" Kaito asked.
"Not exactly, I'm not one hundred percent sure I can defeat you," the Shinigami's voice replied, "But, I have rules that even I must follow."
"Not a hundred percent, but you have a good chance, don't you?" Kaito asked further.
"Kakaka... Indeed, I'm about eighty percent sure..." the Shinigami's voice grew colder, "Don't compare me with those two trash you already sealed."
"I, as the Shinigami, inherited the core power of King Enma, those two were just discarded parts."
"Oh?" Kaito showed an interested expression, "What about Jashin?"
The Shinigami seemed pleased to share, "Kakaka... That guy is the darkest part of King Enma's polluted soul, but it has already gained its own power."
"What a hassle," Kaito sighed, then perked up and looked at the Shinigami, "But since we've started, no matter how troublesome, we have to finish it!"
"Kakaka, what will you do? Let me kindly remind you, using the power of the Ryūmyaku against me is not so effective."
The Shinigami raised its hand and swung the short sword at Kaito.
The movement seemed light, but it carried the ubiquitous natural energy, more like a grand suppression than a simple slash.
The golden mist of Ryūmyaku power around Kaito boiled like hot water. In an instant, without moving his limbs, he slid like a fish under the Shinigami's sword, retreating to widen the distance.
Swish swish...
Several golden chains shot out from the ground, dancing like a group of snakes, surrounding the Shinigami.
The Box of Ultimate Bliss also rose behind the Shinigami, the face of grief fell off, and the beast's mouth opened wide, spewing out purple mist.
Facing the combined attack of the Ryūmyaku Lock and the Box of Ultimate Bliss, the Shinigami constantly laughed harshly, waving its short sword.
The seemingly ordinary blade carried vast natural energy, easily cutting through the Ryūmyaku Locks and repelling the purple mist from the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
Despite the failed attack, Kaito's expression remained calm. He continually summoned new Ryūmyaku Locks to entangle the Shinigami, his hands rapidly forming seals.
Creak, the sound of decaying wood breaking echoed.
Creak creak, the entire Uzumaki ancestral shrine began to sway.
"Cackle cackle..."
The Shinigami kept slashing the golden chains with its short sword, slowly approaching Kaito.
At this moment, the entire ancestral shrine suddenly collapsed.
Boom, the sound of beams and columns falling resounded, raising a cloud of dust.
Kaito's voice came from within the dust.
"Four Symbols of Absolute Spirit Formation!"
