Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

This chapter was censored, probably because I had something to say in it, and added the group number. I revised it again.

Obito left and no fight took place.

Aoba didn't care about Tobirama's problem. The previous battle interrupted his research on the god of death, and Aoba now needed to restart the research immediately.

In the laboratory, there was no loss, and some instruments that were damaged in the earthquake were quickly replaced with spare parts.

Soon, the ceremony was rearranged, and Aoba immediately restarted the experiment of awakening the god of death.

In Qingye's mind, the most important factor in winning this war is information. He needs to know the truth of that year.

The truth about the Six Paths Sage, Ashura, Indra, and all the native gods.

Only by finding out all the truth can he know what the Six Paths Sage did, why he did it, and how to defeat him.

The evil god failed, and the other party was just a newborn god, so now the god of death is the last clue.

Aoba's side, the ceremony started again.

On the other side, Tobirama also started the second phase of testing.

He used an imperfect forbidden technique developed by the research institute to try to reach the soul level of Hashirama.

This is not easy.

Because in most cases, the stronger the ninja, the stronger the soul. Because the soul and the body are inseparable.

The strength of the body and chakra will be fed back to the soul, making the soul stronger.

Although the body of Hashirama Senju is not as good as the original perfect immortal body, it was also cultivated by Aoba specifically for him. It uses his own cells. Whether it is the degree of fit or the physical strength, it is the top in the ninja world.

Coupled with Hashirama Senju's special identity, Tobirama felt tremendous pressure from the beginning.

Although Hashirama's body was in a coma, his soul's self-protection still caused Tobirama considerable trouble.

But Tobirama was not fighting alone.

The biggest change that occurred at the Konoha Research Institute after it was fully opened was the change in the manipulation of chakra from pure manpower to a combination of manpower and machinery.

Although the cores are all chakra cores made from Hashirama's cells, they are real biological machines.

More than a dozen auxiliary bio-machines magnified Tobirama's spiritual power, allowing Tobirama to completely break through Hashirama's self-protection and successfully touch Hashirama's soul.

But the next second, Tobirama's face changed drastically. He instinctively wanted to withdraw, but it was too late.

To outsiders, it seemed that Tobirama's body just trembled slightly and then returned to normal.

Ten minutes later, Tobirama withdrew from Hashirama's spiritual world.

He looked the same, as if nothing had happened, and no one at the institute noticed that there was something different about him.

"Okay, I've got the data I wanted. Send him to the medical room and repair his body."

"Yes."

On the other side, Aoba's ritual to summon the god of death was successfully launched, and the phantom-like god of death appeared in front of Aoba again.

Because he couldn't use chakra, Qingye could only mobilize natural energy. But this seemed to have touched upon some special mechanism of the god of death.

Qingye clearly noticed that the eyes of the God of Death, who was originally in a chaotic state, suddenly became clear.

In the original story, when the Shiki Fuujin was used to summon the God of Death, and even when Orochimaru deceived the God of Death later, the God of Death was actually in a state like a robot executing a program.

But when Qingye used all the natural energy to summon it, it seemed to become a little different.

The Grim Reaper opened his eyes, but this time he did not swing the knife in his hand. Instead, he looked at Aoba quietly.

"Hello."

Aoba tried to communicate, but the other party did not respond.

Qingye thought about it and tried to communicate with the other party directly using his mental power. The next second, Qingye felt himself spinning, and when he woke up again, he was already in a strange space.

It's not a consciousness space. This is Qingye's first thought. He has used illusions to enter the consciousness space of many people. This feeling is completely different.

The space before my eyes was vast and empty, like a huge, sealed jar that completely isolated everything outside.

Qingye thought for a moment and seemed to understand where he was.

If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the belly of the god of death, which is where the sealed soul goes after the Shiki Fuujin is performed.
