The Shadow Creature flew over the Konoha wall and continued to fly towards the outskirts for a while, eventually landing in front of a certain ruin.

The shadow chakra fell back into the shadow of Nara Lankatsu, and he and Yakushi Nonoyu looked at the ruined ruins ahead.

It is a dilapidated shrine that has fallen into disrepair.

Probably sometime in the past, it suffered a very horrific attack, and the shrine's fence, exterior walls, and wooden doors were damaged to varying degrees, and even the eaves of the shrine were tilted and collapsed.

The logo of the Uzumaki clan with slight signs of shattering on the edge hangs diagonally on the dilapidated eaves of the shrine.

"This is the shrine of the Uzumaki clan?"

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

"How did it get to be the way it is?"

According to the Konoha education received by Yakushi Nonoyu, Konoha has been friends with the Vortex Village for generations.

Even the vest vest of the Konoha ninja bears the iconic red vortex mark of the Uzumaki clan.

Although Yakushi Nonoyu grew so big, he only met a Uzumaki Kushina, a Uzumaki clansman......

Although Yakushi Nonoyu traveled to the ninja world as a wandering shrine maiden, he had never met another Uzumaki ninja......

But no matter what, the intimate relationship between Konoha and the Vortex Village for generations.

Konoha should not have allowed such an ancient shrine belonging to the Uzumaki clan to end up in such a dilapidated state.

Yakushi Nonoyu's observation is not weak.

Looking at the dilapidated shrine in front of you, and the thick layer of dust that covered the approach to the shrine.

Yakushi Nonoyu is sure that she and Nara may be the only couple to visit the shrine in recent years.

In other words.

Now the only ninja surnamed Uzumaki in the village should not have been to this shrine.

"Who knows?"

Nara stretched out his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

The things that Yakushi Ye Naiyu thought of, he also considered.

Uzumaki Shrine is located on the outskirts of Konoha Village, closer to Konoha "home" than Kikyo Castle.

It stands to reason that no one would be able to cause such damage on the outskirts of Konoha Village.

If someone really runs to the outskirts of Konoha Village and destroys the shrine of the Uzumaki clan.

Is this spanking the ass of the Vortex Clan?

This is clearly kicking Konoha in the face!

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

The Uzumaki Shrine is broken.

Nara is not surnamed Uzumaki, so there is no need to explore the reason behind the destruction of the Uzumaki Shrine.

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

Nara glanced at the dirty, rotten Uzumaki Shrine in front of him, and looked at Yakushi Nonoyu beside him with a slight hesitation.

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

"Let's go in and have a look."

Yakushi Ye Naiyu is not a delicate little girl.

Love cleanliness and hate dirty, but that's also the time it scores.

It's clear that the odd dilapidated shrine ahead is far more appealing to Yakushino than to the dilapidated environment.

Nara Langui and Yakushi Nonoyu walked towards the Uzumaki Shrine together, and when the two stepped on the wooden floor of the shrine, there was a sudden noise of "crunch" and "crunch" under their feet.

"Sister Nonoyu, go carefully."

"Hmm."

Nara and Yakushi Nonoyu crossed the gate of the shrine and entered the shrine.

Compared to the dilapidated exterior environment, the interior of this whirlpool shrine is just as messy.

On the old and rotten wooden walls, there are black stains of flames everywhere, and there is a faint smell of dust in the air, which makes people want to reach out and cover their mouths and noses.

On the front wall of the shrine, under the shabby and dirty curtains, an entire wall of special masks is quietly placed.

The surface of these masks is a bloodless white color like a human corpse, and the details of each mask are different, but most of them are hideous, ugly, and have two horns.

It was as if an unknown force was sheltering these special masks, so that no dust from the shrine had ever fallen on them.

At the moment when Nara Langui and Yakushi Nonoyu walked into the shrine, the dozens of masks on the wall, the empty, indifferent pupils seemed to be focused on the two of them.

Being stared at by these strangely shaped strange masks in unison, Rao is medicine master Ye Naiyu was experienced and experienced, and at this time, a strange and infiltrating feeling inevitably rose in her heart.

"Lan Gui."

Yakushi Nonoyu's soft voice echoed inside the Uzumaki Shrine.

"Be careful."

"I know."

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

"Sister Ye Naiyu, just wait a while."

Yakushi Nonoyu didn't know what the weird mask of this whole wall was.

Isn't it clear that Nara is still unclear?

These masks are the real goal of his trip - the Mask of Death!

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

At that time, Nara Langui not only discovered the forbidden ninjutsu [Dirt Reincarnation Technique] developed by the second Hokage Senjutsu.

At the same time, he also found the multiple forbidden sealing techniques developed by the Vortex Clan, among which is [Ghoul Seal]!

According to the research of Nara Langui in the recent period.

The complete [Ghoul Seal] secret technique should be composed of [Ghoul Seal], [Ghoul Seal: Solution], and the Mask of Death.

[Ghoul Seal] and [Ghoul Seal: Solution] are all in Madara Uchiha's personal collection.

The only thing missing is the Mask of Death.

Now it is placed in front of Nara Katsura.

Or a whole wall!

Although in perception, none of the masks on the wall in front of him emitted any chakra fluctuations.

However, the "prophetic" Nara Langui knows that all the masks of the god of death in this shrine are genuine!

In the normal timeline, Orochimaru was slashed by Sarutobi during the Konoha Collapse Project and lost a pair of hands through the [Ghoul Seal] - which were actually the souls of Orochimaru's hands.

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

After he was "resurrected" by Sasuke Uchiha, he took the Eagle Team to the Uzumaki Shrine and completely unsealed his hands through a certain Grim Reaper mask in the shrine.

Of course.

Orochimaru unsealed more than just his hands.

At the same time, the seal was lifted, as well as the Bo Feng Shui Gate (with half a nine-tailed), the Thousand Hands Pillar, the Thousand Hands Gate, and the Ape Flying Sun Slash!

"Having said that, Bo Feng Shuimen committed suicide during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and the three of them were sealed by death during the Konoha Collapse Plan, with a gap of more than ten years. ’

But Orochimaru can use a Grim Reaper mask to seal all the ghouls at once, and unseal all their souls. ’

'What is the reason for this?' Could it be that [Ghoul Seal] actually shares the same Grim Reaper? ’

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

[Shadow Gathering Technique]!

Under the manipulation of Nara Langui, the nearest mask was taken down by his shadow.

The first time you touch this mask, the panel pops up the attribute information of this mask.

[S-Class Ninja Equipment: Mask of Death]

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

Including Orochimaru's use of filthy earth reincarnation, this is not at the Uzumaki Shrine, but at the Nanga Shrine of the Uchiha clan.

In Chapter 618, the Uzumaki Shrine is dilapidated, and one of the walls of the shrine is full of Death masks.

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

Personally, I speculate that the Uzumaki Shrine may have suffered aftermath damage during the Hydra Rebellion.

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

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

This chapter takes the second guess.

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

If it is Payne's HRE Celestial Sign, then the Uzumaki Shrine will not even have the evaluation of "dilapidated", it will be completely bulldozed.

As for the other villages, there shouldn't be anyone who can hit the outskirts of Konoha either.
