Once called upon, the Shinigami hovers behind the user and wraps its left arm with prayer beads, uttering some unintelligible chanting, and after some time a [[cursed seal]] appears on its arm. The soul of the summoner is then partially separated from the body and restrained by the Shinigami's hair as it thrusts its arm into the user's chest to grab the soul of its target. At the user's command, the Shinigami then performs the sealing by dragging the target's soul into the user whose stomach is branded with the seal's mark. However, the sealing is double-edged as the user's soul is devoured by the Shinigami along with the target's, both souls trapped for all eternity within the fiend's stomach. It is also possible for the user to seal multiple targets through the use of [[shadow clone]]s. The methods of sealing vary, Hiruzen needing to get close to his targets in order to perform the sealing,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 123, pages 8-9</ref> while Minato was able to extend the Shinigami's hand to grab [[Kurama]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 504, page 6</ref> In the two known cases where the Dead Demon Consuming Seal was used, Minato and his predecessor Hiruzen are unable to completely take their respective opponents' entire souls with them. In Minato's case, intending to seal Kurama in Naruto, he had the Shinigami devour Kurama's [[Yin]] chakra so that the weakened Tailed Beast's composition would be purely [[Yang]]. <ref>''Naruto'' chapter 370, pages 12-13</ref><ref name="ch503">''Naruto'' chapter 503, page 17</ref> In Hiruzen's case, he was forced to take a part of [[Orochimaru]]'s soul within his arms, revealing that the body parts dealt in such a manner suffer from [[Wikipedia:Necrosis|necrosis]] and paralysis, causing the target extreme pain that worsens over time.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 198, page 15</ref> Though Orochimaru undid the damage by entering a new host with working arms, he remained unable to form hand seals properly, and therefore could not use more intricate techniques such as [[Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation]] until he retrieved his arms' soul.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 618, page 11</ref> == Countering == [[File:Souls released from Shinigami.png|thumb|The souls being released from the Shinigami's open stomach.]] Due to the nature of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, those whose souls are sealed away by it cannot be reincarnated.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 520, pages 11-12</ref> However, there is a way to [[Dead Demon Consuming Seal: Release|break the seal]]. The procedure involves invoking the Shinigami using a [[Shinigami Mask|mask]] from the [[Uzumaki Clan's Mask Storage Temple]]. From there, the act of the deed is potentially fatal as the summoner cuts the Shinigami's stomach to release the trapped souls. However this wound to the Shinigami is reflected on the invoker's body. The souls are then released from the Shinigami's stomach.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 618, pages 13-17</ref> == Trivia == * During his discussion with [[Kushina]] on how to deal with the [[Nine-Tails]], Minato stated: {{Translation|"''The fūinjutsu I — not being a jinchūriki — am able to use is… the Shiki Fūjin!''"|「人柱力でないオレができる封印術は屍鬼封尽！」|}} What he meant by this is unclear as the Hokage did not elaborate.<ref name="ch503"/> * In the manga and anime, Hiruzen calls this technique by its full name, {{translation|"Sealing Technique: Dead Demon Consuming Seal"|封印術・屍鬼封尽|Fūinjutsu: Shiki Fūjin}}. The databook entry for this technique drops the "Sealing Technique" part. == References == <references /> [[Clan::Uzumaki clan| ]] [[de:Shiki Fuujin]] [[es:Sello Consumidor del Demonio de la Muerte]] [[ru:Дзюцу запечатывания: Печать души Демона]] Summary: Minor edit Follow this page Cancel
