The hideous masks of evil spirits were clinging to the wall, staring intently at the visitors. The dense and cold gazes were chilling.

"Sage Mode!"

Red eye patterns appeared, and Duke touched each mask with one hand. Back then, he couldn't sense the difference between these masks, but now is different. Through the perception of natural properties, he quickly found the abnormalities hidden among hundreds of masks.

A hideous and terrifying evil ghost mask with two horns on its head, a grinning mouth with black fangs, high cheekbones and a frighteningly pale face.

From the outside, this mask is exactly the same as the one on the wall, as if it was mass-produced by a machine, without any difference. Even an expert in finding faults would not be able to see its specialness.

Duke put the mask on his face, and suddenly a strange cold chakra passed through his face and flowed into his acupuncture points. Duke was shocked and resisted, but found that things were not as bad as he imagined. He took off the mask easily, and the abnormality in his body disappeared.

Duke frowned and put on the mask again. Then the world in front of him changed drastically. The colorful world faded, and finally only black and white remained. Duke was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change from high-definition display resolution to black and white panda TV.

"What's going on? Why is it so slow?" Duke held Minato's pulse, feeling the surging vitality in his body, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

This is because Minato's soul is strong enough. If it were an ordinary person, Duke would have been killed. Although Duke has played soul implantation more than once in the Marvel world, the rules in the Naruto world are somewhat different. Without the power of the Rinnegan, he was able to do this, which was definitely extremely lucky.

Duke immediately performed medical ninjutsu to clear the meridians and acupoints in Minato's body. As the acupoints were opened one by one, the chakra in Minato's body finally established a stable flow system.

Duke pressed the switch, the energy liquid in the nutrient tank was drained, the lid slowly opened, and a perfect body appeared in front of Duke.

The clone's heart beat faster, and after a few seconds of rapid breathing, it stabilized. There was no sudden bounce as expected, nor did it explode. In Duke's black and white vision, Minato's soul merged into the new body, flowing along an inexplicable trajectory, like glue and paint, slowly fitting together, and soon they were indistinguishable from each other, as if they were one.

"Maybe it's a matter of appearance..." Duke concluded narcissistically.

"What is the reason? Sage Mode... Natural Chakra... Or is it because I'm an outsider?" Duke pondered for a while without any result, and stopped thinking about it. There were too few clues, and even if a famous detective was possessed, he would not be able to deduce the truth.

Just when Duke was at a loss, Minato's spiritual power began to fluctuate, and countless cells began to work, producing bits of chakra. This strand of chakra was extremely weak, only slightly stronger than a Genin, and blocked by the perfect muscle tension of the clone, it condensed into clumps, running around and unable to form a systematic circulation.

Clone... Minato's eyelids moved slightly, Duke picked up the hospital gown beside him and covered him with it, posing, ready to wait for Minato to wake up. However, his legs were numb from standing, and Minato's upper and lower eyelids were still fighting, fighting for three hundred rounds without a clear winner.

Minato didn't know what was going on, so he quickly touched his hands and feet and found that his heart was beating strongly, and his fingertips felt the normal human body temperature. So he became even more confused: "I remember using the Demon Sealing Technique, but I died."

From the outside, one can see the shadow of the Grim Reaper behind Duke, holding a knife in one hand, with his arms outstretched, grinning silently.

Duke waited for a long time, and seeing that the soul was still tangled, he couldn't help but choke up and stuffed the soul into the clone. The hypocritical soul was violently poured into the new body, without resistance or struggle, just like throwing a stone into the lake, after the ripples spread, there was no sound left.

Duke glanced at the clone's belly button three inches below his body, raised his head proudly, and said to the soul in his hand proudly: "Brother Minato, you're just like this! Far worse than me!" After saying this, Duke loosened his hands, and the soul gas ball first floated in the air, circled around the clone for a few circles, and then stopped moving.

"Duke, it's really you!" Minato's expression suddenly changed: "Are you dead too?"

Duke subconsciously grabbed the soul energy and unexpectedly blocked it.

"Duke!?" Minato asked uncertainly.

After that, he put on the death mask and came to the nutrient tank. The accelerated growth process was over, and the baby turned into a handsome young man with blond hair. His facial features and height were almost the same as Minato's. Of course, there were some minor differences. After all, it was a clone, so it was impossible for them to be exactly the same.

Duke did not blindly let the god of death strike him, but looked inside to find Minato's soul and tried to pull it out with his chakra. This time, he actually succeeded.

Minato's soul ball was shaking violently in Duke's hand, and couldn't wait to fly away. Duke thought about it and knew the reason. The Demon Sealing had taken away Minato's soul, but his body was not completely dead. If the soul was stuffed in, there was an 80% chance that he would be resurrected on the spot, and there was a 20% chance that he would become a vegetable.

"Long time no see, Minato-san!" Duke took off the Death Mask, and the shadow behind him disappeared with a grim smile. The strange and cold chakra flowed back into the mask.

"Brother Minato, I finally let you die. What would I do if you came back to life?" Duke held the soul energy ball with both hands and comforted him, "Don't worry, I have prepared an 18-year-old body for you, which will definitely satisfy you."

"What a strange feeling. Is it really because I am in the same world as it in another world?" Duke's voice became gloomy and hoarse after passing through the bloody mouth of the Death Mask.

"Uh..." Minato hummed softly, and under Duke's surprised gaze, he slowly propped up his arms and sat up.

Duke mobilized his chakra and instinctively injected it into the Death Mask. Suddenly, his chest tightened and his breathing became difficult. It was as if a big hand grasped his heart and slowed down his blood flow.

But he was too hasty. After all, the clone is not the original. Even if the similarity reaches 99.999%, there are still some subtle differences. The reason why Minato has not woken up is due to this difference. Only when the soul is completely integrated and adapted, can he wake up.

From an angle Duke couldn't see, the Grim Reaper behind him also opened his mouth, with the same lip shape as his, but no sound came out.

"It's not that I died, but that you came back to life!"

"Are you... the God of Death?" Seeing the God of Death with all the Shiki standing in front of him, Minato's eyes widened at first, and then he saw that the God of Death was just a phantom, and below it was a masked man with unusually familiar clothes.

According to the original book, Duke should have manipulated the Shinigami to commit seppuku and release the soul in its belly, but somehow, Duke could clearly sense Minato's soul in the Shinigami. It felt as if the Shinigami was a part of his body, separated from him for many years, and now under his control again.

"Brother Minato, how do you feel?" Duke asked in surprise. He forgot that he was still wearing the death mask, and the sound he made was not like human speech, but just like the low roar of evil spirits.

"Is this the world after death?" Minato held his forehead and shook his dizzy head. His heavy body made it difficult for him to move.

The Grim Reaper opened his mouth and spit out a ball of blue gas. This ball of flame made of souls circled around Duke restlessly, then flew away in a certain direction.

In the original novel, Orochimaru had to sacrifice his life to unlock the Shikigami Seal, but for him, it became a piece of cake. If there was no hidden secret, Orochimaru would definitely cry in the toilet.

Minato's soul suddenly stopped, swaying left and right in Duke's hands, as if he was in a state of confusion. The call from afar made him eager to fly over, but the body in front of him was also very familiar, and his soul, which had no ability to think, was in a mess.

Duke was overjoyed. He was not afraid that Minato's chakra would be disordered, but he was afraid that he would not react at all. Chakra is a kind of energy produced by the perfect fusion of the energy of various components of the human body. The production of chakra in Minato's body means that the fusion of soul and body is very successful.

At this point, Minato also realized that half of the Nine-Tails was inside him...

"Brother Minato, you slept for thirty years!" Duke said with a look of regret, "Naruto is already the father of two children, and he even became the Hokage!"

"Really?" Minato said in surprise as he entered the pit.

"Of course it's fake, you just slept for three days..."
