Whirlpool Hidden Village, council hall.
After a systematic introduction by the elders of the Uzumaki clan, Kamihane also gained some understanding of the "Reaper Death Seal."
In fact, the "Reaper Death Seal" was not a sealing technique in the traditional sense, but like the Summoning Technique, it signed a certain contract with the Reaper through a special contract scroll, and then summoned the Reaper through hand seals to apply the seal.
In other words, its sealing technique was the Reaper itself.
It was precisely for this reason that the Reaper's shadow would appear behind the caster after the caster signed a contract with the "Reaper Death Seal" and activated the technique.
This was like signing a summoning contract with the toads of Mount Myōboku, and then using the Summoning Technique to summon toads instead of the great snakes of Ryūchi Cave, a similar principle.
The Reaper was the seal itself, connected to the caster in the Yang world through contracts and techniques. However, unlike other sealing techniques, this sealing technique appeared in a concrete form behind the contractor after it was activated.
As for its sealing ability, it was even more powerful.
After the technique was activated, the Reaper's shadow slowly appeared, and the caster would use their body as an altar, and first offer their soul as a sacrifice, in exchange for the right to temporarily control the Reaper.
It was precisely for this reason that Jinchūriki were unable to perform the "Reaper Death Seal," because they had already sacrificed their bodies to the tailed beasts, serving as containers to seal their power, and could no longer be used as sacrifices for the Reaper.
After the technique was cast, the Reaper would act on the selected target according to the caster's wishes. The general steps were "grabbing" and "swallowing," and finally sucking the target and the sacrifice into his stomach, and returning to hell.
Grabbing meant that arm covered with obscure and incomprehensible techniques, whose function was to make the grab "inescapable." In other words, once touched by the Reaper's hand, there was no escape.
Unless the caster's life was completely exhausted, causing the technique to be interrupted and the Reaper's shadow to dissipate, there was no way to escape.
Swallowing referred to the Reaper's abdominal space as the lord of hell, which was the darkest, black hole-like space, where even the flow of time was completely frozen. Once sucked in, it was impossible to escape from the inside, not entering reincarnation, never transcending, it was truly "eternal sealing."
On this basis, if the caster wanted to perform "precise sealing," then an additional "slash" step was required in the middle to achieve the operation of dividing and sealing.
That ancient, old short sword with a strong aura of death could cut off everything on the physical and spiritual levels at the same time, achieving the purpose of precise separation.
Whether it was the body, the spirit, or even the chakra, all were within the range of the Reaper's short sword's slash.
Referring to the "Konoha Crush Plan" in the original timeline, Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen's rooftop duel, the already old and frail Sarutobi Hiruzen, in the face of the resurrected First and Second Hokage, sacrificed his life to activate the "Reaper Death Seal" and successively sealed the souls of the previous generation of Hokage.
Finally, in the soul tug-of-war with Orochimaru, because he had exhausted all his strength, he had no choice but to use the Reaper's short sword to seal only his hands.
To undo the seal, unless the "Reaper Mask" was used to activate the technique, guiding the "Reaper Death Seal's" Reaper to possess oneself, and then manipulating the Reaper's short sword to cut open the Reaper's stomach, the sealed soul would be released, and the seal would be undone. However, the caster would still become a sacrifice.
Kamihane sat in the guest seat, his brow furrowed unconsciously, and his fingertips tapped the armrest unconsciously as he considered the feasibility of the "Reaper Death Seal."
His original intention was to seal and suppress the "Karma," similar to the way Jinchūriki sealed the tailed beasts, still imprisoning it within his body to inhibit the thawing of Urashiki's data.
This would not only free up more time for "Mahoraga" to adapt, but he himself could continue to cultivate and become stronger, so as not to remain in a state of "standing still."
That's right, he didn't want to completely erase the "Karma." The power of the Ōtsutsuki was still tempting. Otherwise, he would have reverted to the moment Urashiki implanted the "Karma."
If the "Reaper Death Seal" could really completely strip away the "Karma" mark and seal it in the Reaper's stomach, it would be somewhat counterproductive.
With this thought, he immediately asked:
"Are you sure that the Reaper's short sword can accurately separate me and the 'Karma' mark?"
The elders discussed for a moment and responded: "This still requires experimentation, but we..."
Uzumaki Kurami stood up. "Leave it to me."
"This..." The old men looked at each other, unable to make up their minds for a moment. After all, the cost of this experiment was quite heavy, and the current Uzumaki clan could not afford such a loss.
Kamihane clapped his hands. "Don't worry, I can avoid the death brought by the 'Reaper Death Seal'."
The entire council hall was silent for a moment, and everyone looked over in disbelief.
"Is this true?"
Kamihane glanced at Kurami and said in a light tone, "Of course it's true. Since we're going to cooperate, I don't mind revealing something..."
"My visual prowess can briefly rewind time and space, and then modify the outcome of reality. In front of me, all techniques that require paying a certain price to exchange for power don't need to pay any price, such as..."
As he spoke, his gaze turned to the center of the council hall, and he flicked a chakra blade with his finger, and the sound of breaking through the air flashed by.
There was a crisp and harsh sound, and the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the center of the hall shattered in an instant, and white mirror fragments scattered all over the floor.
Just as everyone was still scratching their heads, unable to guess Kamihane's intention, the mirror was miraculously restored!
Right in front of everyone!
At that moment, it seemed that the air was distorted for a moment, and everyone thought that they were hallucinating. However, the shards of glass that had been on the floor had disappeared, replaced by a perfect floor-to-ceiling mirror that hadn't even moved.
"Genjutsu..." Uzumaki Kurami couldn't help but murmur.
"Not Genjutsu, it's reality." Uchiha Nian said softly, his tone calm, "For Uncle, this is just the tip of the iceberg."
"This is simply miraculous!" The elders exclaimed, looking at Kamihane with even more respect.
Kamihane smiled slightly, the scarlet flowing deep in his pupils. Revealing this skill was to tell them that they could do it with confidence.
"In my opinion, there are three difficulties in sealing the 'Karma'."
He got up from his seat and slowly walked down the steps, pacing as he spoke:
"First, whether the 'Reaper Death Seal' can achieve precise separation, briefly separating the 'Karma' mark from me. This is the first step of the plan, and also the most important one."
"Second, assuming that the 'Reaper Death Seal' can really do it, then I don't want the power of the 'Karma' to be sealed into the Reaper's body. Instead, I want to reseal it back into my body in a way similar to the Jinchūriki sealing the tailed beast."
"Third, whether your sealing technique is reliable and can really completely seal the power of the 'Karma' without leaking it at all."
He looked around at everyone, "As long as these three can be overcome, then this matter can be accomplished."
