"No." Ryoji stays firm, but then his brother (he's not his brother) commands his version of the personification of Death to cast that spell -

And he hasn't had enough practice to know Thanatos' limits that well, and it occurs to him that he's vastly outgunned here -

And Thanatos roars in pain and disappears, Ryoji's knees hitting the floor as everything turns dark. He looks up at Minato before everything can fade, eyes pleading for an explanation, for a connection, for something - but it's no use.

He closes his eyes and goes still.

... He sighs quietly as he watches Ryoji fall, expression still equally cold, eyes glancing downward. He lowers the crossbow, knowing the Mahamaon had hit its mark. This was it, Ryoji's life had been drained and taken from him by the spell.

Death... had done its duty. Almost triumphant, Thanatos disappears into his mind in quiet glee at the fact its so-called doppelganger had been outdone, pleased with yet another murder in the name of... nothing, really. He approaches Ryoji's body slowly, feeling responsible.

"... This was the only way it could end."

He doesn't take what Ryoji had, however. He replaces his crossbow into the backpack, along with his sword, and pockets his Evoker. Then, he places his hands in his pockets, merely turns in the direction he had been heading before, and slowly, deliberately, walks off and away from the scene without another word or sign of him.

Clean, efficient. ... That was how he operated.
