Zombie Sage in Naruto

Chapter 149 Ah yes, yes, yes, I, Obito, owe my success today entirely to Tsukasa Kaede's guidance.
Kaede Tsukasa and his dark personality carefully observed the scene within the Tsukuyomi genjutsu, with the Third Raikage and Roshi serving as crucial references.

"That's roughly how it is. Once we have more chakra, we can further refine the Tsukuyomi world." Kaede Tsukasa glanced at the other person.

“At this rate, we’re still a ways off from the ‘limited Tsukuyomi’ level I’m hoping for. You need to speed things up.” The darker personality was clearly more impatient than Kaede Tsukasa. “I’m trapped here and can’t get out. I can only rely on you to handle things in the real world.”

"Don't say that. You and I are one. You can't interfere with reality, and I can't directly interfere with this place either. That's why I chose to use the real waterfall to separate you. Only I am the most trustworthy."

Kaede Tsukasa said, "However, it's impossible to achieve something like the Limited Tsukuyomi in a short time. That's a real parallel world, while what I've created is virtual reality."

Yes, Limited Tsukuyomi is not a simple, watered-down version of Infinite Tsukuyomi, but a real world. When Naruto and Sakura entered Limited Tsukuyomi, Sakura even took the opportunity to run away to the real world and spend a unique time there.

Okay, this seems extremely illogical no matter how you look at it, but considering the various abstract events that often occur on the anime timeline, it's like stuffing a bunch of random parts into a normal world. Instead of making the world more complete, it just makes it leaky.

The dark personality snorted coldly: "I am you. Of course I know it won't work in the short term, but it will be possible in the future. Although I lost to you, I don't want the world I control to remain so dull and boring forever."

"Understood. The Infinite Tsukuyomi plan must be pushed forward. Whether it's obtaining the Ten-Tails or resolving Kaguya's threat, this must be done. I will find a way to replace the Infinite Tsukuyomi with our Tsukuyomi. I will control all of reality, and you will control all of illusion."

After thinking for a while, Kaede Tsukasa decided on a name for his Shingetsu-yomi.

"The Formless Tsukuyomi, that is the name of the illusory world. It will surely transcend limitations and imprints, and will ultimately surpass the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

Kaede Tsukasa took one last look at the figures fighting in the distance, his form gradually dissolving. With a dark personality watching over the place, he felt at ease.

real world.

The Third Raikage remained motionless.

Kaedeji waved his hand, immediately dispelling the Four Red Sun Formation, and stood personally in front of the Fourth Raikage, extending his hand to him.

"Lord Hokage, have you won?"

"Ah, a great victory! I got what I wanted and also acquired this guy. Very good."

Kaede Tsukasa summoned a coffin and placed the Third Raikage inside. This would be his strongest fighting force, but not his most important one. At least, Rōshi's importance surpassed that of the Third Raikage.

After casually repairing the ape demon that had met a terrible end, the battle came to an end. The turtle island beneath their feet was devoid of any life and had been completely transformed into a giant zombie, now wandering aimlessly in the ocean.

Hiashi was incredibly excited: "With this, the leader of Kumogakure has become one of our strongest! The war has only just begun, and the village has already achieved such a significant victory. This is wonderful!"

"I really want to see the expressions on the faces of those Cloud Villagers. Those guys caused us a lot of trouble in the past few years, and many of our comrades died at their hands."

"As long as the Hokage is here, the village will continue to prosper, constantly replenishing our strength with the lives of our enemies!"

"The matter of Lord Hizashi's resurrection..."

Iroha couldn't help but say something that made the Hyuga clan members look at each other, then stare intently at Hizashi's forehead, their gazes burning with a mixture of anxiety and fear.

Everyone knows what this means: to die and be resurrected, thus escaping the Caged Bird technique that controls their life and death? The branch family saw a glimmer of hope in breaking free from their shackles, but at the same time, this could also be the fuse that ignites the split of the Hyuga clan.

The Hyuga clan is extremely closed off, its rules are very strict, and the main family has a very strong control over the branch families. These branch family members know all too well how closed off the main family is, how strict its rules are, and how strong the control the main family has over the branch families is.

Once everyone knows that they can break free from the main family's control in this way, not only enjoying freedom but also having the potential to make their Byakugan comparable to the main family's Byakugan... there will definitely be a lot of branch family members taking the risk!
Kaede Tsukasa spoke up: "What are you worried about? Everything is under my control as the Hokage. Whether or not to revive, and how many people to revive, is all up to me. Even if the main family and the branch family really reach the point of being on the verge of war, they will absolutely not fight, because no one in your clan can defeat me."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, absolutely right. As long as Kaede Tsukasa is strong enough, he can make everyone obey with just his fists! As for the occasional stubborn person who refuses to obey orders? That's simple, just kill them. Their bodies will eventually follow orders.

The giant tortoise carried the group southwards, heading towards the heart of the Land of Thunder.

At this moment, Kaede Tsukasa raised his head and looked in a certain direction: "The fighting has already started at the front line. The guys from Kumogakure are very anxious. They probably think I will be killed or defeated by the Third Raikage, so they want to take the opportunity to rout our troops."

However, this was just what he wanted.

"Then let's use the guys from Kumogakure to test my Musou Tsukuyomi first... It'll add some fun for my other self, so I don't have to get his complaints every time I enter Tsukuyomi."

Kaede Tsukasa controls the body in reality, while his dark personality controls the spirit in illusion. No matter which world he is in, everyone must serve Kaede Tsukasa until they are reduced to ashes.

Swish!
Kaede used the Void Realm Technique to leave the spot, leaving only Hizashi and the others staring at each other, wide-eyed at the zombie in front of them.

"The Hokage has gone to the front lines, what should we do?"

"Let's wait. With the village's current strength, even though we've lost Jiraiya, Tsunade, and others, our overall strength has not only not decreased but has actually increased. Our comrades, who are not afraid of death, will unleash a power that will make our enemies tremble."

"What's more, Lord Kaedeji is now free to do his bidding, those guys will suffer a fate worse than death."

Richa simply sat down and quietly looked at the boundless sea. He subconsciously touched his forehead, needing to think things through carefully.

"Hizashi-sama."

Iroha handed over the headband: "In any case, let's cover it up for now. We can think about the future later. The Hokage must have his own ideas."

Hizashi accepted the document with a complicated expression. What was Kaedeji's idea? Kaedeji's idea was to use a large number of Hyuga clan eyes to create the Tenseigan!

……

Within the Land of Hot Water, a fierce battle had already raged. The forces of the two major ninja villages had officially clashed, and reconnaissance teams were constantly engaged in bloody combat, with people falling one after another.

The vanguard had already set up their formation and were advancing towards the enemy layer by layer, creating opportunities for the troops that followed to kill the enemy efficiently.

Yunyin was in a real hurry, rushing over one after another, clearly trying to buy time!
"The Third Raikage might not be able to kill Kaedeji in one battle; more likely, Kaedeji will find a chance to escape. Kaedeji received cells from the First Hokage and mastered the Wood Release bloodline limit, possessing immense vitality. If such a person were injured, a much larger number of corpses would be needed as sacrifices to heal him, so..."

There is no place more suitable for Kaede Tsukasa to plunder offerings than the front lines!
With a solemn expression, Tsuchida continuously directed the various actions of the Cloud Village troops, using high-intensity attacks and tug-of-war to search for weaknesses on Konoha's side. He only needed to create one opportunity to immediately put the overall situation of the troops under pressure.

Despite the high intensity and frequency of these attacks, it wasn't just the Konoha ninjas who had to withstand the pressure; the Kumogakure ninjas, as the executors, also had to endure a casualty rate far exceeding the normal pace of warfare.

But there was no other way; this was the best combat strategy that Tu Tai could devise.

Since Kumogakure didn't actually participate in World War II, and had accumulated enough ninjas over the past thirty years, it was worth it to send them all at once, even if it meant sacrificing lives for Konoha ninjas!

The Hidden Cloud Sect doesn't need to worry about fighting on multiple fronts!
“It’s almost time, Killer Bee!” Tsuchida turned to look at the AB brothers standing beside him. “We can’t afford to delay any longer than Konoha. If Kaede Tsukasa escapes back, the situation will be very unfavorable for us. Deploy the Eight-Tails Chakra Force immediately.”

"Yo~ It's finally my turn, you bastard~"

Killer Bee let out an exaggerated shout, pointed his finger straight at the sky, and a large amount of red chakra immediately surged from his body.

Yotsuki Ai clenched his fist and roared, "Go! This is a crucial operation that will determine the outcome of the war. Let them see the spirit of the Cloud Village ninja!"

Killer Bee moved at high speed, spreading his arms and slapping them rapidly, imbuing them with the Eight-Tails' chakra.

Before long, hundreds of Cloud Village ninjas wearing tailed beast cloaks were dispatched by the AB brothers. Once this red army entered the battlefield, the destructive power they caused was astonishing. They could defeat two or even three times their number of enemies in an instant!
Using ninjutsu and taijutsu to attack? Ordinary Konoha ninjas don't even have mastered many powerful high-level techniques, making it difficult to break through the opponent's tailed beast cloak in one blow and directly injure them.

"Damn it, have those guys from Kumogakure gone mad?! They've already sent out a Jinchūriki?!"

"They're even wastefully diverting their tailed beast chakra to ordinary ninjas; our attacks are unlikely to be effective!"

"What's the big deal! We still have our clansmen and comrades! Even if we die in battle, we can be resurrected. But the enemy can't. At worst, we can use several lives to kill an enemy with tailed beast chakra!"

The Konoha ninjas displayed an unusually strong resilience, especially the teams that were attacked head-on. After the chaos subsided, they quickly regained their composure and continued to attempt counterattacks.

They are not afraid of death at all—after all, there is a chance to be resurrected after death, or at least there is hope of returning to the world of the living!
"Obito, you must stick close to me. The guys from Kumogakure want to defeat us at all costs. If they find any weakness in you, they will do everything they can to kill you, this super genius."

Fugaku, his Sharingan gleaming with its three tomoe, killed two Cloud Village ninjas the instant Momoka Senju trapped them with Wood Release: Fire Release: Fire Release, using several of his clansmen to tear through their thin Tailed Beast Cloaks. However, this did little to alleviate the pressure, as Killer Bee continued to rampage across the battlefield, steadily increasing the number of Cloud Village ninjas with Tailed Beast Cloaks.

Obito glanced at Fugaku's retreating figure out of the corner of his eye, speechless, and nodded reluctantly. With his current strength, he was at most a Jonin, not enough to handle a war of this level with ease.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot over. With only his left hand still usable, Yotsuki A forcefully pierced through the bodies of several Konoha ninjas and charged straight at Obito.

Moreover, he was incredibly fast. He had prepared for this moment to kill Konoha's new generation of super geniuses with a single blow!

"Die! I will never allow Konoha to have a second Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Night Moon Ai's eyes were filled with murderous intent!
The Mangekyou Sharingan is a terrifying legend. It first appeared on Kaede Tsukasa, and the name of Susanoo shook various countries, forcing the leaders of many villages to dig out scrolls from many years ago to learn about Susanoo.

They couldn't kill Kaede Tsukasa, but they could find an opportunity to kill Obito, especially since Obito was just too dazzling, breaking too many records and overshadowing the previous and current generations of newcomers.

He's an Uchiha clansman! Someone like that must die!
Obito's figure rapidly magnified in Ai's eyes, his fist brimming with terrifying lightning, slamming fiercely towards Obito's head!
Resurrection? He shattered Obito's head, tore his body apart, and even destroyed and evaporated the splattered blood with his Lightning Release. He refused to believe that Kaedeji could revive someone who had died like that!
"Go to the Pure Land and then regret it, you brat!!"

"Don't even think about succeeding!"

Fugaku was shocked and hurriedly turned around. He saw it, but his body was slower than Yotsuki Ai's. More importantly, he did not have a powerful technique that could deliver a decisive blow, not to mention that he needed to form hand seals. Even if he activated the technique, he could not harm Yotsuki Ai in the slightest. Moreover, Yotsuki Ai would not give him that kind of time.

Many Konoha ninjas didn't even realize what was happening; they only felt a flash of lightning, and couldn't catch a glimpse of Yotsuki A's movement with their naked eyes.

The three tomoe in Obito's eyes spun rapidly, and his expression was extremely ugly, but there was not a trace of despair in him.

"Damn it, I should have taught Izanagi to Obito—"

Fugaku was filled with hatred! He had considered this before; Izanagi's ability to save his life was unparalleled, but the side effects were too great, causing permanent blindness in one eye.

Obito was ultimately the most likely person to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. In addition, he was too young, and youth means impulsiveness and irritability. He might have learned Izanagi and used it on the spot when he was hot-blooded.

"Hmph, they're coming for me."

Obito snorted inwardly, his three-tomoe Sharingan taking in all of Aya Yotsuki's movements. With the support of White Zetsu cells, his eye power was no less than that of Fugaku.

Stab it!

A piercing buzzing sound erupted, but Yotsuki Ai failed to blow Obito's head off; instead, she was stopped.

His fist smashed into the suddenly appearing demon face wood-style shield!
"Wood Release? Who is it? A Senju clan member? His casting speed is almost as fast as mine!"

Ye Yue Ai was taken aback. The speed at which that Thousand Hands Peach Blossom could cast a spell was so fast; it was practically an instantaneous spell without hand seals!
Fugaku's first reaction was also that it was Senju Momoka who did it. He was about to cast a grateful and admiring glance at her when he saw the look of astonishment on Momoka's face and realized something was wrong.

"Wood Release: Ranking Technique is more than enough to deal with someone like you."

Obito's voice, which had become somewhat deep, came from inside the demon mask.

The surrounding Konoha ninjas immediately launched an attack, forcing Yotsuki A, who could not find any flaws in the Ranking Technique, to retreat.

"This level of strength... There's actually such a powerful defensive technique within Wood Release, and it was used by a mere Uchiha brat!!"

Yotsuki Ai couldn't accept it. He was a genius, but he seemed to be no match for Obito. Obito's display of his three-tomoe Sharingan had already shocked Yotsuki Ai, and then he pulled out such a powerful Wood Release technique.

Is that right?! How could an Uchiha genius possess a Wood Release bloodline limit, and more importantly, be able to cast it so quickly?!
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Yotsuki Ai was extremely agitated. If he could use both hands now, the destructive power of that attack would have been even greater, but it probably wouldn't have been able to kill Obito directly.

Crunch!

As the layers of the ranking technique were dispelled, Obito's figure was revealed.

He was extending one hand, and strips of wood were protruding from his palm.

Anyone with a modicum of knowledge would understand that Obito's use of the Ranking Technique seemed to... not require hand seals!!

"Obito... Wood Release?!"

"Could this be an instant Wood Release technique?! Is that right? Wood Release techniques can actually have no hand seals?"

"That's not the point at all. The point is why Obito Uchiha possesses the Wood Release bloodline limit and can use it so skillfully, calmly dealing with enemy attacks!"

Those engaged in fierce combat couldn't help but cast a glance at Obito, their faces filled with undisguised astonishment.

Senju Momoka was stunned, but quickly revealed a bitter expression.

Looking at the entire Hidden Leaf Village, the only one who could do something like that is probably that guy... That makes sense, if she could obtain Wood Release, then it's also plausible that Obito could have Wood Release bloodline limit.

After all, Hashirama cells are the property of the village, not the private property of the Senju clan, and Kaede Tsukasa is the Hokage, who has the right to decide how to use Hashirama cells!
Obito's expression darkened: "Surprised? I'm even more surprised. I never thought that so soon after the war started, I would have to reveal my Wood Release. This is terrible!"

"Obito, did the Hokage bestow upon you the Wood Release bloodline limit?" Fugaku immediately appeared beside Obito, protecting this outstanding junior closely, his eyes filled with undisguised joy—he even felt a slight wariness towards Senju Momoka, worried that she might have some bad thoughts because of Obito's possession of the Wood Release bloodline limit.

"...Ah, right, that's why I can possess Wood Release."

Obito felt disgusted, like he'd swallowed a fly. He couldn't very well say that Madara had helped him obtain it, so he could only hold his nose and use his own amazing performance to boost Kaede Tsukasa's reputation.

As expected, everyone's faces lit up with realization when Kaedeji was mentioned, as if anything was normal as long as Kaedeji took action.

"As expected, the Hokage is truly amazing. After studying corpses for so many years, he must have reached the pinnacle of human experimentation!"

"He can even control life and death, so helping Obito obtain his bloodline limit shouldn't be a problem for him."

"The Hokage really favors Obito. I heard that someone saw the Hokage use space-time ninjutsu to take Obito away when he was a few years old. It was probably from that time that the Hokage started to train Obito carefully."

The morale of the people in Konoha Village was boosted. They were already gritting their teeth and fighting to the death, and now they had no reason to retreat even half a step. With a leader like Kaede Tsukasa who had created all sorts of miracles, they had fewer concerns and were more willing to risk their lives to stop the enemy at any cost!

"Hahaha, come on, you guys from Kumogakure, let's die together!"

"Use more detonating tags! Even if it takes one hand or one leg, it's worth it to kill the enemy while attacking their body. They can't afford to waste time!"

The Konoha ninjas pulled out a bunch of ninja tools with their left hands and a handful of explosive tags with their right, each displaying their extravagance and wealth, further increasing the pressure on the Kumogakure forces.

Tsuchida glanced over, then looked away. It was a pity he hadn't managed to kill Obito; in fact, it had backfired. But that's war—anything can happen. He was already prepared.

"We have 15,000 ninjas on our side. Even if we include the reinforcements that are constantly being deployed to the battlefield, Konoha will have no more than 10,000. This is the limit for Konoha in fighting on multiple fronts. We also have the Eight-Tails, so the advantage is on our side!"

Tsuchida clenched his fist. This was already a very good situation. Not only did Kaedeji not come, but neither did his disciple! They were probably dealing with the guys from Kirigakure.
If we can quickly defeat these outnumbered Konoha troops, we can launch a large-scale invasion into the heart of the Land of Fire, creating opportunities for other ninja villages.

"Kaedeji was too confident. He was leading the troops himself, but he insisted on going to Turtle Island. The Raikage found a weakness in him... No one here can withstand the AB brothers' combination. Victory is only a matter of time!"

Tsuchitai's eyes gleamed. Although he was known as the strategist of Kumogakure, to be honest, this was his first time commanding a legion in battle, and there were many things he was doing for the first time. If he could seize the opportunity to achieve a major victory, his efforts would not have been in vain.

Just as Tsuchikage gave the order for the AB brothers to continue tearing apart Konoha's forces, he was surprised to see Killer Bee enter full tailed beast form, and Yotsuki Aya staring intently in one direction with a solemn expression.

An ordinary-looking corpse twitched a few times before standing up. That was fine, but the next second, the corpse disappeared, and in its place stood Kaedeji Tsukasa.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting. Due to a very important reason, I have to leave for a while, but it seems that everyone is working hard and doing a good job," Kaedeji said.

Ye Yue Ai's eyes immediately reddened, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart: "Where is my father?!"

"You mean the Third Raikage? That guy was very talented. He made me use a bit more of my power. Now... he's probably dead. But don't be sad. It's not like what you're thinking. I can send all of you to see him."
