Ten Courts of Hell



The Ten Courts of Hell (地獄の十御殿, Jigoku no Jūgoten) is located underneath Tsumegakure. Acting as a storage chamber for the many people sacrificed in the name of Chiyou, these bodies are secured and kept hidden in underground chambers separated into ten different floors. Chiyou consumes these bodies to absorb the remaining energies (an ability granted by Tenkarachikara) to strengthen his mental powers, effectively keeping his powers from weakening. As part of the sacrificial ritual, the sacrifice consumes a special drink that puts them to sleep. Afterwards, they are wrapped from head to toe and embalmed. The sacrifice is then offered to Chiyou to consume. This process occurs every night following Daoji's shift into Chiyou.
