[Passive Skill: Devil's Contract]

[Skill Description: During the skill's duration, anyone who dies at your hands but refuses to accept death will enter into a contract with you.

Once the contract is formed, the dead person will be resurrected, and the price they pay is their most important ability.

Note: The method of obtaining abilities is through replication, and the level of ability obtained is at its initial state, not at the peak state of the contract signer.]

[Skill Duration: 30 days]

[Note: Damn it, as a Shinigami of the Pure Land, I've been played by some despicable guy again.]

This month's passive skill is very strong!

Though the process is a bit cumbersome, Kyomu doesn't mind at all.

"Captain Kyomu, where are we going for dinner today?" Genma interrupted Kyomu's thoughts, holding a toothpick in his mouth and his hands in his pockets.

"During this mission, you showed the best performance, so you choose the place, and you pay," Kyomu replied with a faint smile.

"I'd rather not be so outstanding," Genma flipped his hair. "But I can't help it. My charisma can't be hidden, haha!"

Praising each other, boasting, teasing each other, spending money together, and dealing with things together had become the distinctive mark of this team.

Of course, Genma almost died this time, just to protect Ebisu. If it weren't for Kyomu's presence, the fight against three Chuunin and a Special Jonin would have almost ended in disaster.

"You can boast all you want," Ebisu rolled his eyes. "Being so outstanding will easily get you into trouble..."

He couldn't help but worry, but more importantly, he cared. "Don't be reckless. I could handle it at the time, why did you rush in?"

"You're saying I wasn't cool enough at the time?" Genma put his arm around Ebisu's shoulder.

"Cool, definitely cool!" Ebisu punched him in the ribs. "Too cool to care about your life."

"You're also reckless when it comes down to it," Genma shook his head. "And being too cool violates the ninja rules, doesn't it?"

"It doesn't," Kyomu kicked Genma . "But in my book, people as cool as you aren't allowed to exist."

"Haha..." Genma laughed happily. "Captain, if you're jealous, just say it. You haven't had a chance to be cool yet."

"Brothers, this guy is too cool, I can't stand it, what do you say..."

"Let's punch him!" Guy surprisingly responded first, he blended in quite well.

The three of them ran off, while Kyomu suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Kakashi, long time no see."

In the shadow of the back street, Kakashi's figure gradually emerged. "Kyomu, long time no see."

"How have you been recently?"

"I proved that what my father did was right, but it doesn't mean anything."

"Because..." Kyomu glanced at the sun.

"They're right there," Kakashi also looked up at the sun. "When its shine, it creates a shadow, and only where it wants to shine is bright at for the shadow is left at its own."

"I didn't expect you to be so profound," Kyomu felt a bit uncomfortable.

"If it weren't for you, I would still be like this, just blind to the truth, following the established path toward light or darkness, and not knowing what's real or fake."

He patted Kakashi on the shoulder, "But I think you didn't come to me today to talk about these things."

"Hmm," Kakashi narrowed his eyes, "I've been suspended, it feels relaxing, I want to laugh."

"You're causing quite a stir!" Kyomu raised an eyebrow. "No wonder they all have headache"

"But they're reassured," Kakashi walked forward slowly. "I heard you've got two new disciples, take me to see them."

"What disciples, they're brothers, you're the elder, they're the younger, calling them brothers is what you should do." Kakashi suddenly kicked Kyomu. "Don't involve too many people, they shouldn't be taking risks with us."

"But I'm the elder," Kyomu looked at Kakashi. "You have to listen to me, and I will take care of them."

"You better, or you'll regret it later."

The two of them spoke softly and soon arrived at the designated place, which was Ichiraku Ramen.

"Captain, come sit, I saved a seat in the middle for you!" Genma was still the most active.

But as soon as he spoke, Genma's gaze fell on Kakashi's face, "Kakashi?!"

"Genma, I remember you."

"Haha, then come sit quickly," Genma naturally made room. "Although I'm treating, you and Captain are the protagonists."

Kakashi took his seat, glancing casually at Genma , "I'm the teammate killer, aren't you afraid?"

"But I believe Lord Sakumo is right," Under the invisible influence of Kyomu, Genma was nothing like before. "And you have proven this, although a bit late, some people should feel guilty."

Of course, the only thing that didn't change was his carefree attitude.

"But the most admirable thing about you is wearing a mask, it's really cool and arrogant!"

"Here." Genma handed over a toothpick, "Put it on, double the coolness and arrogance!"

"Can you please calm down." Kyomu rolled his eyes. "You're almost becoming the social butterfly of our team, getting familiar with everyone."

"I only make friends with handsome and cool people, that's my principle, can't change it." Genma grinned, "Hurry up and eat, if it gets cold, it'll be a waste of money!"

---

Under the setting sun, a group of five finished their training, lying on the grass with the sunset on their backs, resting.

Their unified left legs crossed over the right, swaying in sync.

"These days are really comfortable!" Kakashi couldn't help but sigh, "I envy you"

"No need to envy, we're all together."

"Have you forgotten about us!" Not far away, Yamato's voice rang out.

All five of them tilted their heads back, and the reflection of Obito's figure appeared in their sight.

"This guy's not cool at all, and a bit silly." Genma mocked.

"Hey, Genma!" Obito had a serious expression. "You're the most carefree one, not cool at all."

Seeing the two about to argue again, Kakashi kicked each of them, "Lie down quietly, it's time for a group photo."

"I won't approve if I can't see my face." Ebisu suddenly spoke up, "My face, which has charmed thousands of girls, should have a chance to shine."

"Come on, let's all squat down and do the Asian squat I taught you."

"It's so ugly." Kakashi couldn't help but furrow his brows.

"I think it's great, very cool!" Obito's taste was always in line with style.

"I think it's ugly too..." Ebisu for once agreed with Kakashi.

"In that case, you guys pose yourselves, and Obito and I will do the Asian squat."

Obito's eyes lit up and he immediately came over.

"Ready, cheese!" Rin's Shadow Clone, responsible for taking the photo, shouted and pressed the shutter.

In the photo, Kyomu and Obito were squatting in front, looking like they were about to light up a cigarette.

Kakashi and Genma were behind them, one with cold dead-fish eyes and crossed arms, the other smiling broadly with a raised thumb.

On either side of Kakashi and Genma were Ebisu and Guy, the former flipping his hair and holding a rose in his mouth.

The latter, with shining white teeth, had one hand behind his back and the other making a gesture inviting someone over.

And finally, Rin was in front of the camera, with a sweet smile, both hands in scissor hands against her cheeks, leaving only a huge smile and head.

"Rin looks so beautiful when she smiles." Ebisu muttered, but noticing the killing intent behind him, he immediately shut up.

Obito withdrew his warning gaze and began to boast about himself and, of course, praised Rin.

As the last rays of the setting sun disappeared, Kyomu looked at the photo in his hand, feeling proud.

This is me, Aragami Kyomu, who has been in this world for eight years, building my empire.

"Our motto!" Kyomu shouted loudly, full of chuunibyou.

"As the sun sets, the night rises, and we are the dawn before the dawn!

With thunder! We shatter the darkness!

With blade, we forge the dawn of the new era!"

As the shouts subsided, everyone laughed like idiots, but Kakashi, though smiling, had tears in his eyes.

These people were what his father had always relied on and sought, but couldn't get. And he, so easily, got them.

"Here's to our future success, father." Kakashi clenched his fist and looked towards the direction of the Hokage Building.

When the sun disappeared from the horizon, Kyomu and his party of seven left.

Genma and Ebisu went together, Obito and Rin went together, Might Guy went home alone, while Kyomu naturally walked with Kakashi.

On the way, each bought a bouquet of flowers and leisurely arrived at the Memorial Park, standing in front of Sakumo's tombstone, neatly placing the flowers.

"Kyomu, I heard a rumor from Anbu." Kakashi's voice was soft. "There have been various disturbances in various countries..."

"Is war coming?" Kyomu continued.

Kakashi nodded, "If nothing unexpected happens, it is indeed so, it's just a matter of time."

"This is our chance." Kyomu put his arm around Kakashi's shoulder. "Using this war, we can carve out our name. And when the war ends, what we need to do will be much easy and simpler."

Kakashi remained silent, looking at the tombstone in front of him, his eyes deep.

Taking a deep breath, "Kyomu, do you think Father will blame us when he wakes up?"

"This village is rotten to the core, and only by decisively cutting it out will it flourish again." Kyomu looked at the tombstone in front of him. "Teacher won't blame us, trust me."

The two stood in front of the tombstone for a long time before leaving together.

And in the grave, Sakumo's stiff body, still retaining an active heart, suddenly twitched.
