With no clues to follow, Gensou chose to forge a new path.
As for whether this would provoke the so-called Shinigami's wrath, Gensou was curious to see if it would truly intervene or if it was just a mindless entity without emotions.
Knowing his fate, Orochimaru didn't mind his impending death, as this was merely a fragment of his soul.
The only regret was that the research conducted in the past few days would not reach his main body.
"May I do it myself?" Orochimaru made a final small request.
In response, Gensou gave the same answer Orochimaru had given him during the Chunin Exams: "Someone like you can never be taken lightly."
"Alright," Orochimaru smiled regretfully.
Without further ado, Gensou launched a scorching Fire Release ball at Orochimaru, burning all the moisture out of him, and then completely incinerating his body.
Having eliminated this hidden danger, Gensou clapped his hands together.
"Summoning Jutsu: Edo Tensei."
Another coffin rose from the ground.
Soon, another "Gensou" stepped out.
Gensou's eyes narrowed as he looked at the opposite version of himself, then quickly formed a series of hand seals.
Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Ram, Snake, Rat, Ox, Horse, Snake.
Finally, with a "clap," he brought his hands together.
"Sealing Technique: Dead Demon Consuming Seal!"
Instantly, a giant spectral Shinigami appeared behind Gensou.
Gensou turned to look, "So, this is the Shinigami?"
Only the caster of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal could fully see the Shinigami.
During the Chunin Exams, Gensou, who hadn't been the caster, hadn't seen it.
Seemingly noticing his gaze, the Shinigami, with a ninja blade in its mouth and long white hair with two horns, looked greedily at Gensou.
Once the Dead Demon Consuming Seal was cast, the caster's soul was irrevocably bound to the Shinigami.
Along with the enemy's soul.
The Shinigami, pleased with the double meal, was satisfied.
Gensou noticed the Shinigami's expression and snorted, then turned back to continue his plan.
With a squelching sound, the Shinigami's arm pierced through Gensou's chest, grabbing his soul while extending further to reach the Edo Tensei body.
Quickly, the soul fragment within the Edo Tensei body was yanked out.
The sound of fluttering paper filled the air.
The Edo Tensei body disappeared.
Once again, the Shinigami had snatched a soul from the underworld. But unlike Gensou's struggle to break free from the underworld's pull, the Shinigami faced no resistance.
As the Shinigami's arm, holding Gensou's soul fragment, retracted, it began to pull Gensou's soul along with it.
Gensou smirked and formed another series of hand seals.
This set of hand seals was similar to the Dead Demon Consuming Seal but in reverse, with a few additional seals.
"Dead Demon Consuming Seal: Release!"
With a final clap of his hands, Gensou shouted.
Upon his command, the sound of breaking chains echoed through the air.
Gensou could feel the contract with the Shinigami being forcibly torn apart.
The spectral Shinigami let out a silent roar of rage, cursing Gensou for breaking the pact.
Not only that, but its other arm began to reach for the ninja blade in its mouth.
Gensou intertwined his fingers and coldly said:
"It's not over yet."
"Edo Tensei: Release Slash!"
In an instant, a sharp blade seemed to slice through the air, cutting through Gensou's chest and the Shinigami's arm.
The Shinigami finally let out a tangible roar of anger.
For its arm had indeed been severed.
The timing was perfect.
As the Shinigami's arm was severed, it was just in the process of pulling out Gensou's soul fragment and main soul together.
With the arm cut off, Gensou's soul fragment and main soul were naturally released.
At that moment, with Gensou's proactive approach, his main soul and the newly freed soul fragment quickly merged into one.
A wave of overwhelming joy and satisfaction spread through Gensou's body and mind.
Finally!
After more than half a year, he had fully restored his peak state, eliminating any weaknesses.
But the surprises didn't end there.
Gensou soon discovered that the severed Shinigami arm turned into specks of light within him, merging with his soul instead of dispersing.
It felt like a significant boost.
With the light from the Shinigami's arm integrating, the minor soul fractures caused by the previous split were rapidly healing.
Once fully restored, the remaining light continued to merge into Gensou's soul, further enhancing it.
Gensou could feel his soul's power growing.
The benefits of a stronger soul were self-evident.
Additionally, it seemed a new technique had formed in his mind.
Unexpectedly delighted by this turn of events, Gensou felt even more satisfied.
But the Shinigami, now one arm short, was far from pleased.
Having always consumed souls, it had never imagined being consumed itself.
Especially now, seeing Gensou turn around with a greedy look, as if wanting more, the Shinigami's face darkened.
"So, you're not just an emotionless, fixed program," Gensou remarked, looking at the spectral Shinigami.
The Shinigami could feel greed and anger.
It was not just a mindless embodiment of death or a programmed will.
The Dead Demon Consuming Seal's creation likely stemmed from an Uzumaki ancestor discovering the powerful entity that was the Shinigami, a being with immense control over souls.
They had used the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques to form a pact, leading to the development of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
As long as the contract was honored, the Shinigami would appear as promised.
Even the face-off with the Shinigami's mask in the original story was likely part of the contract.
However, Gensou had not only torn the contract but also taken a piece of the Shinigami for himself.
Clearly, the Shinigami was furious.
As dark clouds covered the last bit of sunlight, the atmosphere grew more ominous.
Gensou and the Shinigami stared each other down in silence.
