Zombie Sage in Naruto

Chapter 152 Dai, after you die, I will raise your son.
The descendants of the Otsutsuki clan had their own lofty ideals, and paid a price of almost extinction for them.

It could be said that if what they wanted to do failed, their bloodline would be lost, because there would not be enough people on the moon to reproduce.

For Otsutsuki Toneri, who was only a few years old, the continuation of the clan was not important at all. After all, they had long lifespans, so it didn't matter if he was the only one left in the clan. There was enough time.

If he succeeds, he can find women from the Hyuga clan to reproduce; if he fails, continuing the clan will be meaningless.

"Can you feel it, Toneri? Another war has broken out in the ninja world. I don't know how many people will die this time."

A hollow-eyed Otsutsuki sneered, "Hundreds of millions of ordinary people, hundreds of thousands of ninjas—these are all products of failure. It proves that the Sage of Six Paths was wrong! The world he created was flawed from the very beginning."

"Yes, Father. Under your guidance and that of the other branch elders, I have come to a deep understanding of the ills of the ninja world. The Sage of Six Paths was indeed remarkable, saving the world, but what he did was not perfect."

Young Sheren's words and actions were all very proper and methodical. If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were also empty, he would have been an impeccable new generation.

“That’s right, even immortals make mistakes! What we’re doing isn’t to deny the Sage of Six Paths, but to do our best to correct his mistakes! Our ancestors would be pleased if they knew about this.”

The other Otsutsuki, who were nearing the end of their lives, turned their heads and listened to Toneri's conversation, feeling extremely satisfied with the will he displayed.

Toneri is their most perfect descendant, with the purest bloodline, and is born with the ability to establish a connection with the giant Tenseigan!
This means that Otsutsuki Toneri can wield the giant Tenseigan in battle and can further strengthen himself using it.

If you can obtain a pair of highly pure Byakugan, you can instantly upgrade an ordinary Byakugan to a Tenseigan!
At that time, Shiren will have three Tenseigan in his hands, plus the chakra that the entire clan has poured into the giant Tenseigan. It is impossible to imagine what kind of power he will be able to unleash!

"He will surpass Ancestor Hamura, even Hagoromo—"

"Shut up! You mustn't disrespect our ancestors! What we're doing is simply following the will of those two and continuing down the path they laid out! Although we certainly can't see what the ninja world will become in the future."

But Toneri will see it, and after destroying the ninja world, he will become the god of the new world, propagate a new human race, and rebuild a prosperous civilization.

The destruction of the world was the purpose of these branch families, who did not hesitate to launch a rebellion, slaughter the main family, and gouge out the Byakugan of everyone, including themselves, to create a giant Tenseigan.

Toneri believed the words of his elders wholeheartedly, which strengthened his resolve to destroy the ninja world and kill everyone except the women of the Hyuga clan.

Because what the elders said is right. The ninja world is in a crazy civil war, people are dying everywhere, and there is no hope of self-correction. It would be more appropriate to just kill all these hopeless people.

When all the people are dead, the evil history and corrupt ideas will not continue, thus solving the problem at its root.

Suddenly, the attendant's expression shifted slightly, and he looked up in surprise.

"What's wrong, Master?"

"I sensed something... Can't any of you notice?"

"Not at all. Because of the giant Tenseigan, your sensory abilities are the strongest. Did you discover anything special?"

"Is that guy who stole the Gedo Mazo back then back again?! This time, we must kill him no matter what!"

These people believed it immediately.

Without their eyes, they rely entirely on their other senses and the perception of chakra fluctuations to determine the location of external objects.

Shiren looked up at the enormous Tenseigan before him.

Through the power of the Tenseigan, he vaguely sensed a blurry figure, which, judging from its appearance, was also one of their own.

"...Ancestor?" Toneri asked in confusion, but the other Otsutsuki were struck dumb.

Hamura Otsutsuki? But... he died a long time ago. Even if some of his chakra still remained, he should have stopped caring about worldly affairs long ago.

"Could it be that our actions have been approved by our ancestors, which is why they have appeared?!"

"Calm down. It might not really be an ancestor. It could be an enemy disguised as an ancestor."

"Toneri can use the power of the giant Tenseigan; the enemy cannot deceive him!"

Then, Toneri saw Hamura turn his head and glance at him before entering the giant Tenseigan.

He sensed that the feeling this eye gave him had changed; a higher-level entity was drawing power from the giant Tenseigan.

"Is it really an ancestor?" The young Toneri was bewildered, even more confused about what Hamura was planning to do, that he would actually use a giant Tenseigan. However, whatever the reason, it didn't matter. This eye, which they had created with the utmost effort from their entire clan, was being used by Hamura—it was an honor for them!

Hamura had no intention of talking to Toneri; there was absolutely no need for it. By the time Toneri grew up and reached a level where he could skillfully control the giant Tenseigan and even steal a regular Byakugan to evolve into the Tenseigan, who knew how many years would have passed.

“Kaede Tsukasa is the primary problem. These descendants… when they take action, someone in the ninja world will definitely step forward to stop them.”

But Kaedeji is different. Now, no one in the ninja world can stop this guy's terrible actions. Hamura, who is filled with rejection and disgust towards aliens, is willing to use his last strength and bear the price of complete annihilation in order to take away the threat of Kaedeji for the sake of the ninja world.

hum!
The giant Reincarnation Eye trembled violently, and a burst of golden light erupted, causing the desolate and lifeless moon to tremble slightly before finally shining upon the blue planet in the sky.

A faint golden beam of light created a path visible to the naked eye. Hamura used the giant Tenseigan and the principles of the Karma seal to perform the Reincarnation.

In the ninja world, a very few top-tier experts noticed the unusual activity on the moon.

"What was that...? Didn't any of you notice? Nagato, did you feel it?"

"I saw something on the moon with these Rinnegan eyes, but why would such a strange power, which I've never heard of before, exist in that place? And who is using this power?"

"It's not important, we'll figure it out later."

Yahiko didn't want to pay too much attention to it. Anyway, there were too many strange things in this world. He focused on Nagato in front of him: "You've made up your mind to listen to that frog and go to Mount Myōboku to learn Sage Mode? Then go ahead. I will protect the Akatsuki and wait for you to come back."

At the same time, Kaede Tsukasa also looked up at the sky.

"A giant Tenseigan? But why would it make a move at this time? The descendants of Hamura on the moon should be waiting for Toneri to grow up and wouldn't act rashly."

Even a fool could tell that it was because of him.

Perhaps it won't be long before he finds out exactly what happened.

Konoha Village.

The Hyuga clan's territory was much quieter than before, as most of the clan members had been sent to the eastern front with Kaede Tsukasa, while a few had gone to the western front with Orochimaru.

However, this family, with its strict hierarchy, oppressive atmosphere, and excessive emphasis on etiquette, doesn't seem very vibrant even in peacetime.

"Lord Tennin! I will be troubling you a lot from now on."

As the clan leader, Hiashi Hyuga has been working hard to help the person in front of him adapt to the current era.

The renowned Tennin of the Warring States period will undoubtedly need some time to integrate into the current ninja village era. This is the man whom the Hyuga clan spent seventeen resurrection slots to ask Kaede Tsukasa to revive!

"Yes, the pattern of war has also changed beyond recognition."

Tianren was a middle-aged man. He placed the history book in his hand on the table, sat upright, and every slight movement was as precise as if it had been honed through countless trials.

Hiashi nodded and said, "Before the fourth generation came to power, people already had a vague sense that the war would change; zombies are really—"

"I'm not saying that the Hokage's power changed the mode of warfare, but that the entire ninja world underwent a radical change in warfare after entering the era of one country and one village."

Tennin kept a straight face, showing no emotional fluctuation. He pointed to the books on the table and said, "When the major ninja clans and many commoner ninjas without clans unite, they can mobilize thousands or even tens of thousands of people at a time. The intensity and severity of the war are incomparable to the Warring States period. The ninja villages that claim to protect children have made the war even more brutal."

Hiashi fell silent. What could he say? The times had indeed developed to this point. Warfare was no longer like it was in the Warring States period, where a large number of ninja clans were hired by various countries to fight each other. It had long since developed in a more orderly and organized direction.

"However, this is a matter of your time. If you want to stick together for warmth, you have to accept the reality of being burned to death on the spot by the occasional rising flames."

Tennin stood up, his tall figure gazing at the pond in the courtyard: "Now that I've been resurrected, I will obey your leadership, that's the Hyuga clan's rule! But I must also obey the Hokage's orders... I still prioritize the Hokage's orders, isn't that right?"

"That's right, the Hokage is the leader of all our ninja clans."

"Hmm, what if the Hokage and the ninja clan have a disagreement?"

“That won’t happen, because he will either force the ninja clan to carry out his orders or simply kill the ninja clan and use them as resources to supplement obedient ninja clans.”

"I see. At first, I thought the Hokage was something like an 'employer,' using rewards, systems, and information to maintain relationships among ninjas. I didn't expect the Fourth Hokage to be so powerful."

Before Hyuga Tenjin could say anything, his Byakugan was suddenly covered by a golden light.

"What is this?" Hiashi became alert. It was during wartime, and although he didn't quite believe that an enemy would run into Konoha Village to attack the Hyuga clan's territory, it was always better to be cautious.

In an instant, Hyuga Tenjin paused, and when he raised his head again, his body undulated like waves on the water, gradually changing its appearance.

Hijikata's eyelids twitched violently, and he immediately struck out with a palm, but the opponent only touched his palm with a finger, thus neutralizing the attack.

"Which village are you from, daring to infiltrate Konoha and attack the Hyuga clan!" Hiashi felt the power in the other's fingers, his heart filled with utter horror. While he wasn't a Kage-level shinobi, he was still a solid elite Jonin, and his Gentle Fist technique could damage an opponent with a mere graze. But now…

The opponent destroyed the chakra gathered in his palm with just one finger, showing that he was even more skilled in Gentle Fist than the Hyuga clan leader!

"This body is filled with that guy's power. With your eyesight, you can't fail to see it, yet you still succumb to his power."

The "Heavenly Ninja" who made Hiashi feel incredibly oppressed spoke up: "However, I will not blame you. This person who should have returned to the Pure Land will belong to me."

“Who the hell are you!!”

"I am someone who is related to you by blood."

Tennin, or rather Hamura, felt the rapidly changing body and felt that his once incomparably powerful strength had returned somewhat.

Yes, some. He had no choice but to select this body, and it was already quite good that he could find such a body as a vessel. Where in the Hyuga clan could he find a suitable candidate?

Sheren is a good candidate, but he cannot take Sheren away. Only Tennin, who was originally dead but was resurrected by Kaedeji and whose body is filled with a dormant zombie virus, is the most suitable.

Hamura felt no guilt about using someone who was supposed to die as a vessel.

Next, it's time to cause trouble for Kaedeji. We just need to take care of the other guy first.

Hiashi stared stiffly as the other man walked out, his form changing with each step, eventually transforming into a man with horns on his head and the same white eyes.

He didn't recognize this person, but he suspected they were related to the Hyuga clan by blood. But who was this person? Why did they possess the Byakugan? Could they possibly be one of Kaede Tsukasa's resurrected ancestors?

"What is your goal?" Hiashi couldn't help but ask.

"My goal is to destroy all traces of Kaedejima left in this world."

Hamura completed the transformation and used the giant Tenseigan to overwrite Tennin's data, restoring a portion of his power from his previous life—although this resurrection was on a countdown from the beginning, Tennin ultimately could not bear his enormous power.

Moreover, Hamura himself was already dead, and he was making a final desperate attempt with his remaining chakra. Whether he succeeded or not, he would disappear completely.

Swish!
Hamura waved his hand, tearing open a gap in the space in front of him. He stepped inside and disappeared before Hiashi's dumbfounded gaze.

"Space-time ninjutsu?" Hiashi was shocked.

This is the rarest and most difficult space-time technique to master. Why would this strange Hyuga clansman possess it? Moreover, the strange clothing that appeared at the end seemed extremely ancient. If we carefully examine the historical records, we might be able to find something.

At least we can determine which era this guy belongs to, and then deduce how he reappeared in this era.

……

Hidan has been on a mission in the southeastern front recently, specifically targeting the Kirigakure ninjas who come ashore, which makes him very satisfied.

"Hahaha, those guys are about to send out a large force to land, right? They can't keep infiltrating with small teams like this, can they? I'm going to slaughter these guys, the Evil God will be very happy!"

Hidan shook his scythe, wiping away all the blood that stained it, feeling incredibly pleased.

Actually, it wasn't just him; most of the Konoha ninjas were in a pretty good mood. War certainly kills people, but they couldn't forget that they had a bunch of corpses to help them, and they even had a resurrection technique.

Kill more people, complete more missions, and earn more battle merits, and you will get a chance to be resurrected and have your life extended. Anyone with a little ambition will actively kill enemies.

"You keep talking about evil gods, but what exactly does this evil god you're talking about look like? Are you sure you're not just imagining things? Is your evil god just Kaede Tsukasa in a different outfit?"

Inuzuka Tsurugi and Kuromaru had just finished a patrol mission and had not yet found any new traces of the enemy. He immediately sat down on the ground to rest and said something to Hidan.

Hidan sneered, "What do you know? The Jashin is omnipresent. What if the Corpse Release technique is also the Jashin's power?"

"I have a feeling that things should be reversed. Your evil god seems to be the power of Kaedeji Tsukasa," Inuzuka Tsuru muttered to himself.

The concept of an evil god is just flashy and nonsensical. Hidan's immortality is naturally attributed to Tsukasa Kaede, who may have modified Hidan using the Corpse Escape Technique.
Just as this group of people were chatting and joking around.

Inuzuka Tsurugi's nose twitched, and Kuromaru beside him tensed up, making a whimpering sound, which startled Inuzuka Tsurugi.

Kuromaru is an extremely powerful ninja dog with a very strong sense of danger. The fact that it can make this move shows that the person who came is very strong!

"Who is it? Who could the enemy be?"

"Hmph, who cares who he is? He'll die after I cut him twice! Even if the enemy is the Mizukage or the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, he'll still die." Hidan immediately stood up excitedly. The stronger the enemy, the more excited he became.

The people present suddenly turned around and saw Hamura walk out of a black hole that had opened up space, their eyes focusing on Hidan.

"It's you, that guy's only disciple. Let's start by eliminating you." Hamura raised his hand.

"What, Byakugan? A member of the Hyuga clan? But since you've chosen to attack me, I won't care if you're an ally or not, I'll kill you anyway."

Hidan pursed his lips, but the next second, a golden light filled his entire vision, and he felt the part of his body that had come into contact with this power gradually disappearing.

Suddenly.

Hidan uncontrollably cast a spell, instantly swapping places with a zombie.

After the light faded, most of the zombie's body had vanished into thin air, leaving only broken pieces of flesh and blood scattered on the ground.

"An enemy with Byakugan? What kind of technique is this?!" Inuzuka Tsuru and the others immediately assumed a fighting stance.

"Step back, all of you. This is not someone you can handle. Someone else will deal with him."

Kaede Tsukasa dragged the heavily injured Hidan over and casually tossed Hidan aside: "Hidan, you were too careless. There will always be someone in this world who can destroy your immortality."

"Damn it, I'm not afraid at all! With the evil god by my side, I won't die!"

“This guy can even kill an evil god, so he might be even older than an evil god,” Kaede Tsukasa said.

Hidan was stunned, staring at the guy opposite him in disbelief.

Even Otsutsuki Hamura and Kaede Tsukasa didn't expect that it would be this guy who came!
Honestly, even if it were Otsutsuki Toneri, or some other descendant of Hamura, with a giant Tenseigan and wanted to fight him to the death, he could understand. But the moment he saw Hamura, Kaede Tsukasa was surprised.

But he was only surprised. An Otsutsuki who had been dead for so long and barely resurrected was not worth his backing down.

"Lord Hokage, what brings you here?!" Inuzuka Tsuru and the others showed expressions of surprise. Since Kaede Tsukasa had made a move, it meant that the enemy was very strong. However, no matter how strong the enemy was, they couldn't be stronger than Kaede Tsukasa!
Hamura had no regard for anyone else. The moment he saw Kaedeji, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face revealed an undisguised look of disgust: "You've come faster than I expected, but killing you first and then cleaning up what you left behind in this world is no problem."

"If I die, all the zombies will go out of control."

"It's better to be out of control than to let you live."

Hamura knew his time was running out. Now that he had forced Kaedeji out, there was nothing more to say; he could just take action!

"Air strike!"

Hamura unleashed another palm strike, and Kaedeji revealed his Susanoo. With a loud bang, a hole was blasted through Kaedeji's Susanoo.

If it weren't for the brief opening created by Susanoo's defense against the attack, allowing Kaedeji to turn to the side in time, his own body would have been partially destroyed by that attack.

"Eh?!"

"Susanoo... It looks like the enemy is using Bagua Palm, but how can it be so powerful!"

The others watched in disbelief, and at Kaedeji's signal, they quickly retreated.

"You reacted quickly and have already mastered the use of the eyes you copied from Indra. But even if you can use the most powerful Susanoo, you still can't possibly stand against me."

Hamura snorted coldly, took a step back, and disappeared into the cracked spatial tunnel.

No one knew where he would appear silently the next second and launch a surprise attack on Kaede Tsukasa.

This instantaneous space-time technique is clearly more convenient than Kaedeji's Void Realm Technique. Although it didn't surprise Kaedeji, even the weakest Otsutsuki can easily activate space-time abilities, let alone someone of Hamura's caliber.

However, he was not without ways to deal with it.

"I wasn't planning on using that power yet, but it seems I have no choice now. I'm busy, and I won't waste my time on you. If I leave you alone, you'll just keep causing me trouble, so..."

Kaede Tsukasa formed a hand seal and summoned an ordinary zombie. The zombie then formed another hand seal and swapped positions with a figure.

This guy, whom Kaedeji specifically summoned, will be Kaedeji's ace.

"You'll have to do this, Dai. Go and take care of this guy. Go for it. Even if you die, I'll raise your son," Kaedeji said.
