Naruto opened the Mangekyō because he was afraid of death

In the world of the dead, Uchiha Takashi was flying towards Otsutsuki Hagoromo's territory, but he stopped midway.

Uchiha dropped to the ground and looked quietly at the big river in front of him. The river was thousands of meters wide, rushing endlessly, and rolling up huge waves from time to time.

The river was black, and there was no ship on the water. There was only a thousand-meter-long bridge across the water.

It is hard to imagine that a wooden bridge can still stand upright under the impact of such rapid water flow.

"Is this the Santukawa River?" Uchiha murmured to himself.

If the river was just turbulent and the water was black, Uchiha would not stop out of curiosity, but he felt that there was no breath of life under the water, no, it should be said that there was no breath of soul!

It stands to reason that if there are souls on land in the world of the dead, they should also be able to survive underwater. However, there is no soul aura in the Santu River, which makes Uchiha very curious.

So, he planned to ask other people.

"Hey, you, yes, you ghost, come here!" Uchiha pointed at a ghost and said.

The ghost was a little confused at first, looking left and right, then looked at Uchiha and pointed at him.

Later, when he discovered that Uchiha Takao actually had the aura of a living person on his body, he showed a greedy look.

"Hehehe, I haven't eaten a living person for a long time. I miss you so much!" The ghost opened his mouth wide and drooled all over the floor.

Then, in the blink of an eye, he came to Uchiha Taka's side. The speed was staggering. Just looking at his speed, he was already at the peak of the shadow level.

But for Uchiha Taka, this was as slow as a snail. Just when the ghost opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth, ready to try something new, Uchiha Taka directly turned on the sage mode and pinched it. He put it around the ghost's neck and lifted him up.

In addition to the Yin-Yang Shield, only immortal techniques can touch the soul, or some special secret techniques that attack the soul. Otherwise, even if Uchiha is now a demigod, he cannot touch the soul with his body.

"How, how is it possible? You, you are an Onmyoji?" The ghost was shocked. He didn't expect that the human in front of him could actually touch the soul!

Moreover, this scene also discouraged the surrounding ghosts who were planning to do evil things against Uchiha Taka, and they all stayed away from this place of right and wrong.

"I am not an Onmyoji, but there is an Onmyoji? What is that?" Uchiha asked.

"You, if you let me go, I will tell you." That ghost is still negotiating conditions with Uchiha. How could Uchiha be so used to him? He just went up and gave the ghost to him. Confused.

"Now, I am a swordsman and you are a fish. You will do whatever I ask you to do. Only in this way will you have a chance to live. Although you are already dead, I don't recommend letting you go to pieces. Do you understand?" He said calmly.

The ghost was stared at by Uchiha Takumi's cold eyes, as if he was being targeted by death. His instinct told him to be obedient, and he must be obedient.

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Seeing that he had calmed down, Uchiha let go of his hand, put him on the ground, and said, "Tell me, what is an Onmyoji."

"Sir, the power you are using is the power of Onmyoji, and Onmyoji specializes in catching ghosts." The ghost replied.

"Senjutsu, is it the power used by Onmyoji?" Uchiha murmured to himself.

"Is Onmyoji a living person or a soul after death? Why have I never heard of it?" Uchiha asked again.

"Sir, onmyoji is a living person. I died more than two thousand years ago because I was killed by someone. After death, I turned into a ghost and killed the person who killed me. After that, I was killed by onmyoji. He was captured and sent to the world of the dead," the ghost replied.

Uchiha Taka reasoned based on the ghost's words: "Two thousand years ago? At that time, the sacred tree probably had not appeared in the ninja world. In other words, at that time, the natural energy in the world was still sufficient, so it could support people after death. The soul becomes a ghost and continues to stay in the world.”

"And at that time, Onmyoji was the mainstream of the world. However, due to the advent of the sacred tree, the natural energy in the world gradually became thinner. As a result, the soul could not survive in the world and could only enter the world of the dead. Onmyoji also declined. No wonder then. I’ve never seen ghosts and Onmyoji at all, so that’s it.”

"I said that after I came to the world of the undead, I felt why the natural energy is so abundant. It is actually the basic energy that constitutes the world of the undead. It is indeed a snake oil-like existence!"

"Sir, you are right. Natural energy is indeed what ghosts and onmyojis need most. As for what you said about ghosts and onmyojis disappearing later, I don't know about this little one. He died too early, so for Living people don’t know much about the current world,” the ghost said.

"Also, what is going on with the Santukawa River? Why is there no breath of soul in it? You should know something about it after living for more than two thousand years." Uchiha asked again?

"Santukawa, I only know a little bit about it, but I don't know much. I hope it will be useful to you, sir. Please wait a moment and don't blame me." The ghost knelt down to please Uchiha Takao.

"Tell me, I don't blame you." Uchiha was in a good mood. He knew some things he had seen two thousand years ago, which were of some use to him.

When the ghost heard this, his eyes lit up. He understood what Uchiha meant, and he probably wouldn't be in a state of panic anymore.

So, he quickly introduced Santukawa to Uchiha Taka: "No one knows the starting point and end point of Santukawa, not even the ruler of the world of the dead. However, the reason why Santukawa does not have small souls in it is know a little."

"Santu River is also called turbid water by us. If a soul touches a little of it, it will be swallowed up by endless resentment and turn into an irrational beast."

"The soul that accidentally falls into the Santu River is directly turned into a pool of black water and merges into the Santu River. Therefore, there is no soul in the Santu River. It can be said that it is the nemesis of all souls. It’s not an exaggeration, even the great god Huang Quanjin doesn’t dare to pollute the water of Santu River easily.”

After hearing this, Uchiha Takashi fell into deep thought. Can he be used to deal with Otsutsuki Hagoromo? So what should be used to contain the water from Santu River?

If he wanted to use the water of the Santukawa River to deal with Otsutsuki Hagoromo, he felt that a large amount would be needed. A being who could compete with the great god Huang Quanjin must have reached the demigod level!

And he heard clearly what the ghost just said. Master Huangquanjin did not dare to contaminate the water of Santu River easily, but he could do it, but it would be a little troublesome.

Therefore, in order to deal with Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the demand for water from the Sanzu River must be very large!
