Shinigami in the Ninja World

Chapter 132: Human and God

What disturbed Pain wasn't just the abnormal extraction speed.

There was also something leaking out of Naruto's body.

Those unknown black, viscous substances slowly gathered in the air.

This was a situation that had never occurred before.

He lifted his head.

Although it was still daytime, the sky suddenly darkened, as if it had been tainted by those substances.

A shiver ran through his heart.

It wasn't the pressure from Naruto's strengthening "aura" from the outside in, but rather a sense of impending doom from the inside out, as if he had encountered a natural enemy.

This was a feeling he hadn't experienced since he "evolved" into a "god."

Extracting this person's soul might not be a good idea.

As this thought crossed his mind, the long-haired puppet had already reached out and completely pulled Uzumaki Naruto's soul out of his body.

Konan's pupils widened in disbelief.

This soul was entirely different from any other soul that the Human Path had extracted before.

In the past, when Nagato used this technique, the souls he extracted were deep purple, mixed with chakra, and nearly impossible to discern—"resentful souls."

However, Naruto's soul still retained his appearance, even his clothing: a black shihakusho and a white haori.

Before everyone's eyes, the now soul-form Naruto was completely unaffected by the control of the Human Path.

"That's enough help for now." He reached out, grasped the long-haired puppet's wrist, and said softly, "I'll handle the rest myself."

The remaining half of the spirit body effortlessly walked out of the physical shell.

The blond body, now without support, fell downward.

The two Nine-Tails stepped onto his soul's shoulders.

Naruto extended his hand.

Golden chains flew out, wrapping around his physical body and sealing it within a scroll.

"What is this?" Pain was finally somewhat moved, his tone filled with disbelief.

He could understand "resurrection," as the Rinnegan had the power to bring the dead back to life.

But a soul that still possessed immense power after leaving the body—this was something he couldn't comprehend at all.

Naruto looked down at himself. "If you call yourself a god at this level, then I am undoubtedly the..."

"Shinigami, Uzumaki Naruto."

He swung his blade.

The black, viscous substance began to boil, forming dotted lines in the sky, making the whole world seem blurred and indistinct.

The pressure followed.

The Rinnegan puppets creaked under the strain, squeezed by the intense force.

Konan's face was especially grim.

Kisame in the water, his smile froze, and his swimming slowed considerably.

This pressure was far more immense and clearer than what they had felt before.

Naruto looked past the water and toward the underground.

The power of the "Sage of Six Paths" was now incredibly clear in his perception.

However, it did not act as decisively as it had when capturing other people's "souls."

Instead, it was lying in wait, observing.

Ever since his initial encounter with the "Sage of Six Paths," when the Truth-Seeking Ball easily shattered chakra but failed to destroy his "spiritual power" immediately, Naruto had realized that "chakra" and "soul" might be two completely different forces.

However, Naruto did not know the technique to separate the soul from the body.

Of course, the Soul Society possessed this technology.

Kūgo Ginjō had mastered it.

But as a captain, the procedures to go to the real world were cumbersome. He had only been there twice on missions and had never used a "temporary Gigai," so he hadn't learned such seemingly "useless" techniques.

During his time in the ninja world, he had conducted some re

"Made me, after experiencing endless pain as a human, grow and transform."

"From a human... into a God."

"Jiraiya-sensei, are you trying to stop a god with your ordinary, fragile human body?"
