Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 39: Shiki Fujin

Masahiko House.

Masahiko held the Shinigami mask in his hand and carefully inspected it for almost half an hour.

“Sensei! What you see, even though it looks scary, it's just a mask. ”

The two students continued to wait impatiently the entire time, Yuriko seemed fine, but Nanako would reveal her other personality.

“I'm afraid there's something in this mask..” murmured Masahiko.

After careful examination, Mashiko's perception ability finally found something.

“It is soul! Whose soul is this?” Masahiko muttered to himself again.

In this era, the soul was something foreign to people. At least Masahiko had never heard of soul-related ninjutsu until now. In this world, souls can be manifested, some people can see them, and even manipulate the souls of the dead at will.

Masahiko looked at the Mask deeper, and suddenly his expression changed and became serious.

“It's a terrible seal. I never expected Uzumaki to have such a powerful predecessor.”

After observing the Mask for a while, Masahiko could finally guess where it came from.

This mask may be the catalyst for a particular technique. About a hundred years ago, Uzumaki's ancestors faced an invading enemy, Uzumaki then used powerful techniques to fend off invaders. This technique managed to destroy all the enemies and also sealed their souls inside the Mask. And for a hundred years, those souls kept fighting each other. The invader's soul has reached its limit, so knowledge, wisdom, and loss of his will to fight, then become a death god who feeds only by absorbing the souls of others …

Masahiko Fuinjutsu had already reached level 6, but according to him it was still not enough to apply a sealing technique as strong as the one in the Mask. He estimated that the ancestors who used this seal might be around level 8 Fuinjutsu. Likewise with the enemy he had to seal at the cost of his life.

The identity of the enemy soul trapped inside this Mask is still unclear. Although in warring periods of countries, conflicts between the two powers were frequent, only occasionally did one side commit to annihilating the other or launch a full-power attack.

Since they were always afraid, whoever lost would be vulnerable to being attacked by other Clans. So generally, when one side feels desperate, they will try to negotiate a ceasefire or peace, they will even pay tribute. But it seems like Uzumaki's ancestors would rather die than compromise with this enemy, suggesting that the enemy might be an alien force!

From the anime plot that Masahiko saw in his previous life, he predicted that the enemy might be the ancestor of the Gold and Silver Brothers from Kumogakure.

“Kinkaku and the Ginkaku brothers are quite interesting. They can devour the flesh and blood of the nine tails, and control the Six Treasures of Rikudo Sennin.

“Sensei, who are these brothers? And who is Kishimoto?” ask Nanako.

Masahiko's face stiffened, then he looked at her, “Did I just say something?”

When he nodded, Masahiko helplessly slapped his forehead.

“Oh, Son... Nothing, it's just.. You know sometimes Sensei likes to mutter something unreasonable to himself, you don't have to think about it.” Masahiko did not want to explain.

“Ah Nanako, can you catch a chicken for me?”

Nanako looked confused, but she still wanted to catch the chicken.

“Sensei, what do you want to do with that chicken?” Yuriko asked Masahiko while the two looked confused.

“Sensei will show you how to kill a chicken.”

Yuriko looked a little confused but remained excited. A child is just a child.

After a while, Nanako returned, holding onto the leg of the struggling chicken.

The chicken soul came out of his body. The chicken that had been moving now stopped struggling. Nanako who was holding the chicken felt dizzy, then suddenly she fainted.

Seeing this, Masahiko quickly sealed the mask of “Seals Four Symbols!” He sealed back the Mask, then he held Nanako using his other hand, and the spiritual manifestation from before fell back into the Mask.

“Did I just witness the rebirth of a Shinigami! But because he was hungry, he was still fragile. It could only seal the soul of a chicken. But it can make Nanako dizzy. Well, for a high practitioner like me, Shinigami has no effect on me.”

“Sensei... What are you doing..?” Nanako gradually regained her energy. As he looked at the lifeless chicken in his hand, he quickly threw it away, then he looked at Masahiko.

“Nothing, it's okay, you're fine.” Masahiko shook his head, again and again, feeling a little guilty.

“Give me my mask!” Nanako grabbed the Mask and pointed at Masahiko, but she did not respond at all.

“Did you just kill that poor chicken?” shouted Nanako.

“Eh.. Yeah..” Masahiko smiled helplessly.

“Nanako, Sensei has sealed the Mask back, you don't have to worry.” Yuriko next to him tries to help.

Nanako's face flushed red, and she almost exploded.

Half an hour passed. Masahiko comforted Nanako, and now she looked calm.

“Nanako, you must keep this Mask safe. When the time comes, I will strengthen the seal, the Clan will probably use it.” Masahiko explained.

Then Masahiko explained the origin of the Mask to the two girls, and the two listened ama.

“So this mask contains the soul of the enemy? Why not destroy it?” Nanako asked after she understood the story behind it, and began to wonder.

Masahiko was stunned because he knew that this Mask was Shiki Fujin, he never thought of destroying it. This is a critical Ninjutsu that will be used by various Characters in the future, and he does not want to change the plot…

Hesitating, again and again, Masahiko finally decided, this “Ninjutsu should have disappeared in time.”

He is still afraid of the consequences. However, with the Rasengan, he destroyed the Mask completely, at that moment, he felt relieved. When he finally decided on the matter, a voice interrupted him.

“Ah, Sensei, not my mask.” Nanako almost exploded again.

“This is what you asked of me..” Masahiko told Nanako when he saw her, but she did not look happy. Therefore, Masahiko quickly ran out, “I want to check out Kenichiro practice, you two can go to the mask festival and have fun. You don't need to practice today!”

Masahiko went to the third training ground while muttering to himself: “These children have no respect for their sensei.”.

He looked at Kenichiro who was training from a distance, and felt a hint of comfort in his heart, at the very least, one of his disciples was reliable.

“1493, 1494, 1495. If you can't do that, you will do sidekicks, from two thousand times” once Masahiko comes, Kenichiro bounces upright, “OOH! Battle Time!”

Mashiko's face turned black…

“Must be! Forget it, I'll go home.”.

Returning home, a Mandarin sentence suddenly flashed through Masahiko's mind, comforting her broken heart by her students.

“Take and Change a big event in this World story: Shiki Fujin. Reward: 2 (*10) Witness Points.”
