Shinigami Mask

A mask in the image of the Shinigami's face. It resides in the abandoned Uzumaki Clan's Mask Temple in the outskirts of Konohagakure, along several similar-looking masks. It allows the one who wears it to summon the Shinigami without the use of hand seals. The mask can be used make the Shinigami cut open its own stomach, releasing the souls of those who were sealed in it. Orochimaru has used it to release his own arm's souls, as well as the souls of the four previous Hokage, whom he proceeded to reincarnate.
