Zombie Sage in Naruto

Chapter 159: Within the Formless Tsukuyomi lies the fate of all beings in the ninja world.
I'm so stupid, really.

Obito wanted to slap himself.

Even though he knew that Kaede Tsukasa's offer to make a deal with him was ill-intentioned and that he would definitely gain vital benefits from him, he still couldn't help but agree!

Logically speaking, exchanging intelligence for intelligence, using a portion of the preliminary theoretical research of Infinite Tsukuyomi to exchange for information that Kaedeji Tsukasa, a non-Uchiha clan member, could obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan, wouldn't be a loss.

Every time Obito glanced at this illusionary world, his heart bled. Kaede Tsukasa had already used the information he had given him to achieve incredible results, but Obito didn't even have the chance to touch the Box of Elysium!
At this moment, Kaedeji made a further move. The vast illusionary world, a desolate world constructed from desert, began to undergo drastic changes.

Beyond the desert, entirely new scenery appears. The monotonous black and white lines of the ordinary Tsukuyomi are filled with color as if by an invisible hand, and mountains and rivers appear one after another.

"You bastard, you can actually further improve this world... Do you really want to create a fictional ninja world? A one-to-one replica of the real ninja world?!"

Obito's eyes were bloodshot; he was practically dying of jealousy.

Kaede Tsukasa said calmly, "That's not the case. I can modify the illusionary world at any time as needed. You are well aware of the special nature of the Tsukuyomi technique, right? The caster can control time and space within the Tsukuyomi at will. If the ordinary Tsukuyomi can do this, my Mukoro Tsukuyomi can do it even more."

However, ordinary Tsukuyomi is just an extremely crude and rudimentary black and white world, which is not worth mentioning at all. As long as you are not stupid, the person who is under Tsukuyomi will immediately realize that he has been under a genjutsu!
Obito cursed inwardly, no longer wanting to stay in this damned world.

"Abi within me remained unresponsive, yet I could still use his power. As expected, you've already cracked many of the secrets of Infinite Tsukuyomi, and can now manifest the power that the subject possesses in reality within the illusion, based on the subject's thoughts?"

The more Obito learned, the more uneasy he felt. Tobi had never actually entered the Musou Tsukuyomi; he was the only one who had entered from the very beginning!

The Ah Fei on his body was something temporarily constructed based on his thinking and cognition.

If this were assessed using ordinary illusions, it would undoubtedly be beyond comprehension. However, Obito possessed a great deal of information about the Infinite Tsukuyomi, knowing that the experiences of those afflicted by it were all tailor-made dreams for them, and even the powers the victim possessed in reality could be replicated one-to-one within the illusion.

Kaede Tsukasa's Musou Tsukuyomi truly draws on the strengths of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"You see, Obito? Those human batteries from the outside world will provide me with chakra for many years to come. I will use their chakra to continuously improve this world."

Kaede Tsukasa was very satisfied: "So, having one Four-Tails is enough for now. In the future, there will be a continuous supply of chakra for me to use."

He was in a really good mood, and hadn't felt this happy in a while. He didn't care how other timelines would turn out, but at the very least, his timeline had to go according to his plan.

Zombies and virtual reality are the symbols he left for this world.

As for psychological burdens... Kaedeji didn't have any of those things at all. Even without him, if things had gone normally, all these people in the ninja world would have suffered heavy casualties from the bombardment of Tailed Beast Balls flying everywhere during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Of the 80,000 ninjas who participated in the battle, almost all of them died in the end. The survivors had to go through the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and their chakra, along with their bodies, would gradually become appendages of the Ten-Tails God Tree.

It doesn't matter who it's given to, Kaede Tsukasa is happy to take over these people's bodies, souls, consciousness, chakra, and even their future destinies. With his help, many people in this world who should have died tragically might actually be able to live on.

Kaede Tsukasa's goal is to reap the benefits of the ninja world, using the efforts and struggles of countless natives to sustain himself, rather than engaging in world-destroying tactics.

"Let me leave," Obito said coldly. "I have no interest in watching you torture these guys, and I don't want to see how you create this fake world!"

"What, don't you find this interesting? Reality is full of deceit and lies, and killing and death are everywhere, but in my world, you can survive without caring about the conflicts in the outside world."

"Hmph, trying to brainwash me? You and Madara are no different. Although what you say makes sense, no matter how bad the real world is, it's still better than the fake world that you control."

Obito was in a foul mood. He snorted coldly, his three-tomoe Sharingan staring at the incorporeal Kaede Tsukasa in front of him: "Or are you just looking for an excuse to trap me here?"

"How could that be? We are collaborators... But to avoid any misunderstanding, I must clarify first that I have no intention of trapping everyone who enters here forever; that would not benefit me."

Kaede Tsukasa scoffed, "You think you can get those guys to log into my Mukoro Tsukuyomi by offering up their chakra? How about it? They'll offer up a certain amount of chakra each time they come!"

What are you doing here?

“Training, fighting, knowledge, ninjutsu, even sightseeing, or finding a place to escape reality after becoming weary of the world, any reason is acceptable.”

Kaede Tsukasa pointed at the figures in the desert: "These people are the top-tier consumables. They can be resurrected even if killed by those who land here. I will classify them into different ranks based on their strength. To fight or communicate with these people, you must offer me different amounts of chakra."

In this way, there would be a continuous supply of chakra. Who could refuse the Second Shinobi World? The key is that you can also fully display your talents without worrying about death.

This is Kaede's strongest trump card. In fact, when facing Hamura, Kaede was so confident not only because he still had several other techniques he hadn't used, but also because he had this Musou Tsukuyomi as his trump card.

If one day he were to face a true Six Paths level enemy, and Kaede Tsukasa himself had not reached the Six Paths level, then he could drain all the chakra of everyone who had ever been associated with the Musou Tsukuyomi!

With the chakra they had already stored up, if they used it all at once, they could at least hold their own against a Six Paths level expert. Even if they found out in the end that they couldn't win, escaping would definitely not be a problem.

As for where to escape to... simple, Kaedeji has already prepared a backup plan for that.

Moreover, the function of this massive amount of chakra is not limited to fighting and modifying the virtual world, but also has a more important function.

Obito felt a chill run through him as he stared at Kaedeji. He realized that he had never truly understood the man before him. Kaedeji wanted to turn all the humans in the entire ninja world into cattle and sheep that could be harvested at any time.

“Of course, Obito, if you want to enter here, you don’t need to pay me with chakra.” “Who cares?”

Kaede Tsukasa chuckled softly, his figure slowly dissipating, and Obito's consciousness returned to reality as well.

In reality, Tobi was continuously transferring his chakra into Obito's body, and finally received a response.

"What happened? You haven't responded for several minutes. Wasn't the power of Tsukuyomi supposed to end in an instant?" Tobi asked in surprise, noticing Obito's suddenly rapid breathing and not even caring that he was exposed to Kakashi and the others.

"Huh? There's another voice coming from the teacher. What's going on?" Matt Kai scratched his head. His limited brain cells couldn't figure out what was going on, let alone what had happened in the last few minutes.

Kakashi and Rin Nohara, being quick-witted, had already vaguely realized something. What truly surprised them was that this mysterious Tobi-sensei had two people in one body.

"No, it's this strange white body. I've found it strange for a long time. The vortex face isn't a mask, but rather it's integrated with the body. This means that the tall body I've been seeing is actually a set of 'armor'."

The armor and the armor itself actually house two individuals, two consciousnesses?

Kakashi pondered to himself, lowering his head slightly. He could only say that he was indeed the mysterious advisor handpicked by Kaede Tsukasa, equally enigmatic and unpredictable.

But... who exactly is that person inside the white armor?
After a long while, Obito finally looked up at Kaede Tsukasa, who had a calm expression on his face. It was as if the events in the illusion were all fake, but Obito knew very well that it was a different kind of reality!
The consciousnesses of the Third Raikage and others trapped there should all be real, and their chakra should be real!
Obito then looked at the crowd that had fallen into a deathly silence, only producing chakra, and took a deep breath.

"Let's go, there's no need to waste any more time here."

"Huh? Teacher Fei, what about our mission?" Might Guy asked.

"It's done. Hokage, I'm here to witness."

Obito was in a terrible mood, his mind a jumbled mess, and he responded impatiently. He needed to get away from Kaedeji as soon as possible! It was obvious to anyone that Kaedeji wouldn't tell him all the information about the Musou Tsukuyomi; he was definitely still holding back some crucial move. The further away he was from Kaedeji, the safer he would be!
and……

"The Mangekyou Sharingan, I must obtain these eyes no matter what. Only the Eyes of the Mind can allow me to break Kaede Tsukasa's technique!"

Obito left with Kakashi and the others.

Kaede glanced at Obito's figure, eager to see what methods this guy would use to deal with such a passive situation.

"Because of me, Madara in this timeline failed to completely brainwash Obito. Obito, who should have been disappointed with the real world and tried to build a genjutsu utopia, actually did not agree with the genjutsu world I created... Even if it was purely out of concern that I would attack his consciousness, there was indeed a gap in his understanding."

Now, Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan definitely can't be Kamui anymore; it's probably something else entirely.

Kaede Tsukasa withdrew his gaze, glanced at the people who were tirelessly offering their chakra to him, and then looked into the distance.

The intense commotion faintly reached this place. The battle between Rasa and the others and the Seven-Tails was still ongoing, but it wouldn't be long before a victor emerged. The Seven-Tails' combat power was basically at the bottom level among the nine tailed beasts. Being surrounded and attacked by so many Sand Villages, it was certain that it would suffer heavy losses.

Sure enough, not long after, Rasa returned, controlling a large amount of gold dust and dragging the Seven-Tailed Fox.

Of the several hundred people who had accompanied Rasa through the battle, most of them had perished. The survivors were all wounded and covered in dust. They showed little joy at defeating the tailed beasts, but instead looked up anxiously at where Kaede Tsukasa was.

Rasa looked down at the few remaining elite ninjas and sighed inwardly. What could he do? He could only use human lives to create a battle that suppressed the tailed beasts.

In the past, if Sunagakure could capture a Tailed Beast despite suffering casualties, it would undoubtedly be a major event worthy of national celebration. It should be noted that during World War II and even earlier, Tailed Beasts were not commonly used as weapons of war by various villages.

This resulted in a general lack of combat experience in fighting tailed beasts in various villages.

But in today's world? Defeating a tailed beast, especially a weak one, doesn't seem like anything to brag about, especially in front of the man who can decide their fate.

"Lord Hokage, we have successfully captured the Seven-Tails." Rasa wanted to say that he wanted to take the Seven-Tails back to Sunagakure, but when he looked down at the Sunagakure ninjas who were fighting bloody battles, the words stuck in his chest.

Kaede Tsukasa is fully capable of killing everyone and calmly bringing the Seven-Tails back to Konoha!
Kaede Tsukasa said, "Well, since this is your spoils, take it with you. But I need to cut off a portion of the Seven-Tails' chakra."

"No problem, that's your right."

Luo Sha was overjoyed, but then felt a pang of sorrow – they were the ones who did it, they were the ones who died, and in the end, they received Kaede Tsukasa's approval. His first reaction was relief and joy.
Kaedeji casually touched a few zombies, arranged for them to walk in front of the Seven-Tails, used the Reaper Death Seal Technique to cut off the Seven-Tails' chakra, and sealed it on the spot.

Busy running around, Kaedeji looked at the Seven-Tails, which had been cut off by a third, and then looked down at the scroll in his hand.

"In that case, we've got the Seven-Tails' chakra. All that's missing are the Two-Tails, Three-Tails, and Six-Tails."

The Two-Tails is in Kumogakure, and the Three-Tails and Six-Tails are in Kirigakure. As the war continues, Kaedeji will use various methods to bleed the various ninja villages dry. Before long, he will be able to obtain all the tailed beast chakra.

At that time, we can consider further improving the level of the body. Kaede Tsukasa will use the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, and also use the Musou Tsukuyomi to supply a larger amount of ordinary chakra.

"The path is clear, now we just have to wait for time to tell."

With a casual gesture, Kaede Tsukasa decided the fate of the Seven-Tails, and slowly said, "Then it is yours, Kazekage. Now that you have a tailed beast, you must repay my kindness even more diligently."

Rasa nearly coughed up blood. If it weren't for Kaedeji, they would still be a great ninja village, still controlling the One-Tailed Beast! How could they have fallen to their current predicament? Forced to become a vassal of Konoha—no, more accurately, a mere appendage of Kaedeji!
