chapter 85 part 1
**Chapter 85: Demise, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki**
Tsukasa Kaede's appearance at this moment somewhat exceeded the expectations of those present.
Especially the Nine-Tails, it was practically fuming. From the very beginning, it hadn't paid Tsukasa Kaede any mind, but just as it was about to kill the two people and regain its freedom, Tsukasa Kaede intervened.
"Brat, OOOOHHHH!"
"My apologies, Nine-Tails. Your power is too great. I can't just let you have your way... Given the current state of the Hidden Leaf Village, if you were to kill Lady Mito and break free from the seal, no one would be able to stop you."
Tsukasa Kaede spoke calmly to the Nine-Tails, but it was precisely this tranquil demeanor that further enraged the Nine-Tails.
Why so calm? Why so composed? Because Tsukasa Kaede felt no fear towards the Nine-Tails, which was why he adopted this stance.
Of course, Tsukasa Kaede himself knew that if he were to fight the Nine-Tails one-on-one, he definitely couldn't win. He couldn't outlast it either, and would ultimately have to flee in embarrassment.
Yet, the Nine-Tails also couldn't kill Tsukasa Kaede. Even with its immensely powerful Sensory Ability, it couldn't contend with the superior speed of Tsukasa Kaede's Spatial Rift Jutsu.
"Mito Uzumaki is about to die! Once she's gone, the Hidden Leaf Village still won't be able to stop me. I will kill all of you! This is the price for imprisoning me!"
The Nine-Tails roared and yelled.
Tsukasa Kaede ceased talking to the Nine-Tails and turned to Mito Uzumaki: "It's so noisy. Lady Mito, do you still have enough strength to seal this guy back?"
"I can't. At most, I can only restrain it now. Sealing it back into my body is impossible."
Mito Uzumaki gasped for breath, looking at Tsukasa Kaede. "I didn't expect you to risk coming here."
The Sealing Jutsu she originally used to restrain the Nine-Tails was the Eight Trigrams Sealing, which was stronger than the Four Symbols Sealing and Iron Armor Seal, but its execution difficulty also skyrocketed.
In fact, if she had used the Reaper Death Seal to seal the Nine-Tails, she could have done that too. But then, the Nine-Tails would have entered the Reaper's Belly with her, and the Hidden Leaf Village would lose the Nine-Tails. She couldn't possibly do that.
On the original timeline, Minato Namikaze faced the same dilemma: when he used the Reaper Death Seal to restrain the Nine-Tails, he couldn't take the Nine-Tails into the Reaper's body. Otherwise, if Konoha lost the Nine-Tails, its strength would plummet, and the balance with other Villages would be broken.
However, it wasn't realistic to seize the opportunity to seal the entire Nine-Tails into Naruto's body with the Eight Trigrams Sealing. Naruto was just born and couldn't bear such a colossal amount of Chakra.
Thus, a compromise was reached: using the Reaper Death Seal to split the Nine-Tails into Yin and Yang halves. The Yang Nine-Tails was sealed into Naruto's body with the Eight Trigrams Sealing, while the Yin Nine-Tails was taken into the Reaper's body with the Reaper Death Seal.
Tsukasa Kaede mused, "It's only right. I am a Ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village. Kaedence I brought you to the Land of Rain, I also bear the mission of taking you back. Moreover, you left me a portion of Nine-Tails Chakra... I sealed the unused Nine-Tails Chakra. Perhaps it will save my life at a critical moment in the future."
"What you say is flawless, but I can sense that your thoughts are incredibly complex, not as righteous as you claim."
"No one is absolutely simple, and neither am I. At most, my thoughts are a bit chaotic," Tsukasa Kaede chuckled.
He suddenly had a brilliant idea for sealing Tailed Beasts—not just the Nine-Tails, but all of them—using the Reaper Death Seal to solve the problem.
Being sealed inside the Reaper is not true death. For humans, it might be considered death, because without a Soul, the body rots, and that is death.
But for the immortal Tailed Beasts, this is not death at all; it's just a change of residence. Barring any accidents, a fixed-term sentence becomes a life sentence—Jinchuriki grow old and die, but the Reaper does not.
Tsukasa Kaede knew the method to break the Reaper Death Seal. After Mito Uzumaki's death, he would likely be the only one in the Shinobi World who knew this method for a long time.
Perhaps, the Tailed Beasts could be sent into the Reaper's body using the Reaper Death Seal. This way, people would absolutely never be able to obtain Tailed Beasts again, and waiting for Tailed Beasts to resurrect would also be impossible.
The Reaper, not only can it be used to cleave an enemy's Soul, but it can also be used as a piggy bank...
Tsukasa Kaede earnestly looked in the direction of the Reaper, even though he couldn't see anything at the moment.
"Perfect, I'll take this opportunity to test how many Reapers there actually are in this world."
Tsukasa Kaede Summoned a Zombie, and after touching it, had the Zombie perform the Reaper Death Seal.
As expected, it was still the Reaper behind Mito Uzumaki that was summoned; there was no other Reaper or Reaper Clone.
Tsukasa Kaede also saw the Reaper glance his way, disregard him, and then resume drooling over Madara and Mito Uzumaki.
"Indeed, there is only one Reaper, and at any given time, only one person can perform the Reaper Death Seal. If another person tries to perform it, the summoning will fail."
Tsukasa Kaede wasn't surprised. It was impossible for there to be a multitude of such terrifying super Spirit Bodies, an existence that could slay gods below the Kaedex Paths Level, in the Shinobi World.
"So that's how it is. Although I heard Danzo mention it before, seeing it firsthand still surprises me. The potential of Corpse Release is enormous, to be able to wield even the Reaper Death Seal in such a unique way."
Mito Uzumaki immediately understood how Tsukasa Kaede had used the Reaper Death Seal multiple times. It was truly a stroke of genius. In this way, the Reaper Death Seal Jutsu now had a successor.
If this were in the Warring States Period, a major clan's top-tier Technique Formula being learned by an outsider would surely cause a clan-wide uproar. They would rather sacrifice countless Clan Members to kill someone like Tsukasa Kaede.
However, in the era of Ninja Villages, such restrictions were largely broken. Talented individuals had the opportunity to learn valuable Technique Formulas submitted by other Ninja Clans from the Village.
However, she wouldn't live to see what heights Tsukasa Kaede, this successor, would reach in the future, or how far he would advance the Reaper Death Seal Jutsu.
