Purgatory (Para)

undefined Purgatory (煉獄, Rengoku) is a special place where souls of the deceased whom have not been satisfied with their life reside. These souls reside to gain holiness, forgiveness and satisfaction before entering the pure world. Although this was a realm of the deceased souls, Reikon managed to access it by establishing a link with the use of his Spirit Transformation Technique. Eventually, he was able to enter his spirit at will within moments in this realm.

Overview
During the Invasion of Pain, Kakashi Hatake died due to using the last of his chakra to save Chōji Akimichi from a missile of the Asura Path. He woke up to see himself in a dark void with a man sitting beside a camp-fire. That man was revealed to be his own father, Sakumo Hatake, whom was disgraced for dying protecting his comrads instead of completing a mission. Lamenting on the fact that both died young, Sakumo was shocked to hear that Kakashi forgave him and thanked his son. A bright white light appeared and Sakumo told Kakashi that his time was not over in the living. After Kakashi left, Sakumo smiled and said he would finally be able to see his wife.

Appearance
This realm appears to be an empty blank void with a small fire being the only source of light that resides within. The purgatory also has different realms for the soul of each and every being, as Sakumo was the only person Kakashi percieved within the realm, despite there being countless people in purgatory. Furthermore, use of chakra is disabled as the body, which contains the chakra, is separated from the soul, thus renderring escape impossible. There has been only one person whom was the exception to this rule, Reikon, whom can enter at will due to his spirit form.

A person with pinnacle skill with the spirit transformation is able to manipulate the purgatory, establishing a link and controlling it at his whim. Reikon has been the only person known to perform such a feat. He has been capable of incorporating it with his spatial technique to send the souls of people to the realm, earning him the monicker as the Death God. Additionally, he can enter it at will within moments whilst in his spirit form to evade any attack and also as a means of teleportation, bypassing any barrier set for him.
