I, Deathsinger, Musician of the Naruto World

When the Third Hokage used the Reaper Death Seal, intending to die alongside Orochimaru,

a terrifying-looking God of Death appeared.

Third Hokage: "Only those who have made a contract with this jutsu can see him."

Orochimaru: "What is that?!"

Spectators: "Good heavens, what is that thing?!"

Third Hokage: "Wait, isn't he supposed to be visible only to me?!"

The God of Death took off his mask, revealing an extraordinarily handsome face.

"Rise, my army of the dead."

Granted the blessing of death, standing at the boundary between life and death,

reborn as an undying spirit amid the requiem of the dead.

Rise, my army of spirits! Let us sing in perfect unison!

Deidara: "Ah, the kiss of death."

Sasori of the Red Sand: "We are eternity."

Uchiha Itachi: "May death free us all."

Nagato: "The Deathsinger."

Kakashi: "Ka, huh?"

Jiraiya covered his mouth. "Shh, you're not dead yet..."

Jiraiya: "Karthus."
