Chapter 398 Uzumaki Shrine! Death Mask!

[Shadow Creature] flew over the Konoha wall, continued flying to the outskirts for a while, and finally landed in front of a certain ruins.

The Yin Escape Chakra fell back into the shadow of Nara Langui, and he and the pharmacist Nonoyu looked at the dilapidated ruins ahead.

This is a dilapidated shrine that has been in disrepair.

Probably some time in the past, it suffered a very horrific attack. The fences, outer walls, wooden doors, etc. of the shrine all suffered varying degrees of damage. Even the eaves of the shrine tilted and collapsed.

The Uzumaki clan logo with slightly broken marks on the edge hangs diagonally on the tattered eaves of the shrine.

"Is this the Uzumaki clan's shrine?"

Pharmacist Nonoyu's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at the dilapidated building in front of him in surprise.

"How did it come to be like this?"

According to the education in Konoha that Yakushi Nonoyu received, Konoha and Uzushio Village have been on good terms for generations.

Even the vests and vests of the Konoha ninjas bear the Uzumaki clan's iconic red Uzumaki mark.

Although Yakushi Nonou has grown so old, he has only met one Uzumaki clan member, Uzumaki Kushina...

Although Yakushi Noonoyu never encountered another Uzumaki ninja when he traveled around the ninja world as a wandering miko...

But no matter what, Konoha and Uzushio Village have had a close relationship for generations.

No matter what, Konoha should not allow such an ancient shrine belonging to the Uzumaki clan to end up in such a dilapidated state.

Pharmacist Nonoyu's observation skills are not weak.

Looking at the dilapidated shrine ahead and the thick layer of dust covering the shrine's approach.

Yakushi Noonoyu is certain that she and Nara Rangui may be the only pair of guests who have visited this shrine in recent years.

in other words.

The only ninja named Uzumaki in the village now has probably never been to this shrine.

"Who knows?"

Nara Langui spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

He also considered the things that pharmacist Nonoyu thought of.

The Uzumaki Shrine is located on the outskirts of Konoha Village, closer to Konoha's "mainland" than Platycodon Castle.

Logically speaking, no one should be able to cause such damage on the outskirts of Konoha Village.

If someone really ran to the outskirts of Konoha Village and destroyed the Uzumaki clan's shrine.

So is this a slap on the Uzumaki clan's butt?

This is clearly a kick in Konoha's face!

However, there are too many secrets (BUGs) in the ninja world.

If Uzumaki Shrine is broken, just break it.

Nara Langui's surname is not Uzumaki, so there is no need to explore the reasons behind the dilapidation of Uzumaki Shrine.

As long as he can ensure that his target item is still in the shrine...

Nara Langui glanced at the dirty and rotten Uzumaki Shrine in front of him, and looked at the pharmacist Nonou next to him with a slight hesitation.

"Sister Nonoyu, are you going in with me, or are you waiting for me outside?"

"Let's go in and take a look together."

Pharmacist Nonoyu is not a delicate little girl.

I like cleanliness and hate dirt, but it also takes time.

It was obvious that the attraction of the weird and dilapidated shrine in front of Yakushi Nonou was far greater than his disgust for the dilapidated environment.

Nara Langui and the pharmacist Nonou walked towards the Uzumaki Shrine together. When the two stepped on the wooden floor of the shrine, there were bursts of "crunching" and "crunching" noises under their feet.

"Sister Nonoyu, be careful when you go."

"Um."

Nara Langui and the pharmacist Nonoyu stepped through the shrine gate, with only half of it remaining, and walked into the shrine.

Compared with the dilapidated exterior environment, the internal environment of this Uzumaki Shrine is equally messy.

Black traces of flames can be seen everywhere on the old and rotten wooden walls. There is a faint smell of dust in the air, making people want to reach out and cover their mouths and noses.

On the front wall of the shrine, under the worn and dirty curtains, there is a whole wall of special masks quietly placed.

The surface of these masks shows a pale color like a human corpse, bloodless. The details of each mask are different, but basically they all have a ferocious expression, ugly appearance, and two horns.

It seems that there is an unknown force protecting these special masks, so that the dust in the shrine never falls on them.

The moment Nara Langui and Yakushi Nonoyu entered the shrine, the dozens of masks on the walls and their empty, indifferent pupils seemed to be focused on the two of them.

Being stared at by these weird masks with strange shapes, even though the pharmacist No Naiyu has experienced many battles and has rich experience, at this time, she still inevitably felt a strange and penetrating feeling in her heart.

"Lan Gui."

The soft voice of Yakushi Nonou echoed in the Uzumaki Shrine.

"careful."

"I know."

There was no trace of panic in Nara Langui's tone, but a hint of joy.

"Sister Nonoyu, just wait a moment."

Pharmacist Nonoyu didn't know what this wall of weird masks was.

Isn’t it clear that Nara holds Gui?

These masks are the real goal of his trip - the masks of death!

Previously, Nara Langui killed Uchiha Madara in the mountain cemetery and looted all the secret techniques of the Uzumaki clan that the opponent had accumulated over many years.

At that time, Nara Langui not only discovered the forbidden ninjutsu [The Jutsu of Reincarnation in the Dirty Land] developed by the second Hokage Senju Tobirama.

At the same time, we also found multiple taboo sealing techniques developed by the Uzumaki clan, among which was [Sealing the Ghosts]!

According to Nara Langui’s recent research.

The complete secret technique of [Sealing the Ghosts] should be composed of [Sealing the Ghosts], [Sealing the Ghosts - Release] and the Death Mask.

[Sealing the Ghouls] and [Sealing the Ghouls·Resolution], Uchiha Madara has them all in his personal collection.

The only thing missing is the Death Mask.

Now it is placed in front of Nara Langui.

Still a whole wall!

Although in perception, the masks on the wall in front of them did not emit any chakra fluctuations.

But the "prophetic" Nara Langui knew that all the death masks in this shrine were genuine!

In the normal timeline, Orochimaru lost one of his hands - the souls of Orochimaru's hands - which were sealed by Hiruzen Sarutobi through the [Ghoul Seal] during the Konoha Collapse Plan.

Later, after three years of painstaking research, Orochimaru finally found a way to crack the [Ghoul Seal].

After he was "resurrected" by Uchiha Sasuke, he brought the Hawk Team to the Uzumaki Shrine, and completely unsealed his hands through a certain death mask in the shrine.

certainly.

Orochimaru unsealed more than just his hands.

Also being released from the seal were Namikaze Minato (with half of the Nine Tails), Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama and Sarutobi Hiruzen!

'Speaking of which, Namikaze Minato committed suicide during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, while Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other three had their souls sealed by the God of Death during the Konoha Collapse Plan, more than ten years apart. ’

'But Orochimaru can use a death mask to seal and unseal all the corpses at once, and unseal all their souls. ’

'What is the reason? Is it possible that [Sealing the Ghosts] actually share the same god of death? ’

Nara Langui's mind moved slightly, and the Yin Escape Chakra obeyed his will and transformed into a condensed shadow rope.

[The art of gathering shadows]!

Under Nara Langui's control, the nearest mask was taken off by his shadow.

The first time he came into contact with this mask, the attribute information of this mask popped up on the panel.

[S-level Ninja Tool: Death Mask]

Regarding Uzumaki Shrine, my personal impression is that it only appeared once in the manga in Chapter 618, and never appeared again in subsequent chapters.

Including Orochimaru's use of dirty soil to reincarnate, this was not at Uzumaki Shrine, but at Nanga Shrine of the Uchiha clan.

In Chapter 618, the Uzumaki Shrine is in dilapidated condition, and one wall in the shrine is covered with death masks.

Considering that the address of Uzumaki Shrine is on the outskirts of Konoha Village.

Personally, I speculate that Uzumaki Shrine may have suffered the aftermath of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

Of course, it is also possible that it was damaged long ago.

For example, it was affected when Uchiha Madara controlled the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha.

This chapter takes a second guess.

As for Payne's invasion or other village attacks...

If it were Pain's Shinra Tensei, then Uzumaki Shrine wouldn't even be rated as "dilapidated", it would be completely razed.

As for other villages, no one should be able to reach the outskirts of Konoha.
