Zombie Sage in Naruto

Chapter 167 If I were to use the Eight Gates, you would be blown up. If I were to use the Formless Tsukuyomi, how would you respond?

"Damn it, why did it have to happen at this time..."

Sweat kept dripping from Yahiko's forehead. Logically speaking, since he possessed the physique and strength of an Otsutsuki, he shouldn't have "sweat" like an ordinary person.

But he was ultimately bearing the power of the Otsutsuki as an ordinary person. Now, facing a desperate situation and an enemy of Kaede Tsukasa's caliber, even though he gritted his teeth, he felt more powerless than anything else.

Kaedeji is right.

With his current eye power, he could see through Konan's physical condition at a glance. Whether he took Konan away and eliminated her later, or eliminated her here on the spot, Kaedeji could take the opportunity to make a move.

Well... it seems the only way to deal with Kaedeji is here. I wonder if we can manage it in the remaining time.

"Xiao Nan, just stay here and hide. I'll be back soon."

A smile appeared on Yahiko's cracked face as he carefully laid Konan flat on the ground and stood up.

"Yahiko... what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to take care of Kaedeji right here!"

Yahiko ripped off his tattered sleeve, his voice turning icy cold, and his right eye radiating an increasingly powerful aura: "Although he did do us a favor, your safety and freedom are at stake. Even if it means becoming his enemy, I will not hesitate! Although Nagato might feel awkward if he knew, I can't worry about that now."

He no longer had time to slowly negotiate and wrangle with Kaedeji. While he still retained some power, he had no choice but to take forceful action to seize it, defeat Kaedeji, and completely eliminate the hidden danger on Konan.

Kaede Tsukasa shook his head: "Seriously, why do you make me sound like the most heinous villain? Didn't I already say that Minami is working for me? With her efficiency, she'll be free in two or three years at most... no, maybe even sooner."

Yahiko paused for a moment: "I don't want to put the safety of my comrades on whether you will keep your promise."

"Come on, you're forcibly releasing that power, and you're about to die. There's no way you can be sure if I'll keep my promise in the future, so you're desperately clinging to the present moment."

Kaede Tsukasa said calmly, "I am the Hokage, and I am the one who will inevitably win the Third Shinobi World War. If I don't deal with you, your behavior will shake my authority and damage my image in everyone's eyes. How much trouble will a leader who is questioned from the root cause have? You, the leader of a small organization, probably will never understand in your entire life."

This is purely from a political perspective. Yahiko's behavior is a challenge to his dignity. Kaede Tsukasa no longer has any reason to give in to someone like Yahiko.

Even though Yahiko is incredibly strong right now.

With a loud bang, a large hole was torn open in Kaede Tsukasa's house. Yahiko punched Kaede Tsukasa in the chest, and even though Kaede Tsukasa used Susanoo, it was shattered by Yahiko's blow.

Two figures tore through the air like cannonballs, creating terrifying sonic booms with their bodies. Wherever they passed, the ground quickly caved in and cracked, and buildings collapsed with a deafening roar.

Many bewildered villagers watched the sudden outbreak of battle with confusion.

"What happened? Who did this?!"

"My newly bought mansion! Damn it, the repair costs alone will be tens of millions of taels of silver! Who's so crazy as to dare to make a move in the village?"

"Our Konoha Village is the number one ninja village in the ninja world, with many strong ninjas. No matter what kind of enemy comes, they will all die!"

The villagers were outraged, and due to their overconfidence, some even wanted to go over and see who was so reckless.

Konoha ninjas immediately stopped these people and forcibly dispersed them.

The Konoha Police Force arrived first. Although there weren't many people left in the village, at least one squad remained.

But then, something astonished the Konoha Police Force—the Hyuga clan had also sent a team!
The key is that Hiashi Hyuga is personally leading the team!
"Hizu-sama?"

No matter how arrogant the members of the Konoha Police Force are, they must restrain themselves and maintain politeness and respect.

Hiashi nodded solemnly: "Thank you for your hard work. The Hyuga clan will also help maintain order and protect the villagers from now on."

"..."

Uchiha Hachimoku thought he had misheard. Most of the time, the Hyuga clan members would stay out of things that didn't concern them and wouldn't get involved in the village's various disputes. They would only show up if the situation escalated. How could they be like this now, as if they knew something was going to happen here and rushed over impatiently as soon as the turmoil started?

"Captain Eighth, look! The guy confronting the Hokage... his eyes look a little off!"

A Uchiha clansman exclaimed in shock, immediately attracting the Eighth Hokage's attention. He used his three-tomoe Sharingan to look, and even without making eye contact with the star-shaped eye, he could still feel the astonishing suppression of the eye's power.

"Mangekyo Sharingan!"

The Eighth Generation immediately became certain of this, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism: "Another pair—one, a new Mangekyou Sharingan! Who is this clansman? I've never seen one before. Why would someone with the Mangekyou Sharingan still oppose the Hokage? It's outrageous!"

As much as the surprise, there was also the regret. No matter how powerful the Mangekyou Sharingan is, if you only have one, it seems that you can't activate Susanoo. How could you possibly fight against the Hokage?
Well, although it seems that the Hokage is at a disadvantage, with his Susanoo being pierced through—something must have gone wrong. It must be that the Hokage didn't increase the strength of his Susanoo.

Even so, the strength of that unknown enemy was terrifyingly high; was this a level that physical skills could achieve?

"I can't tell what technique they used. Is it similar to the ninjutsu of the Hidden Cloud Village? But I didn't see the enemy using a lot of chakra to strengthen their body."

Yashiro speculated that this must be the Mangekyou Sharingan, a type of eye technique that leans towards physical combat.
Hizashi looked at his older brother: "That guy's eyes..."

Hiashi nodded seriously: "That's right, just as you thought. It seems this guy's strength is no less than Hamura's. Where did he come from?"

One of his eyes is a cross-shaped eye, which is considered the Byakugan. However, what puzzled Hiashi was that Yahiko's other eye was that of an ordinary person. This was impossible, as the Byakugan, unlike the Sharingan, does not have a pattern similar to that of an ordinary eye and cannot be disguised.

Back then, Hamura's eyes were also white.

The Eighth Generation glanced at the two brothers, inwardly scoffing. Although he couldn't understand what they were talking about—something about Hamura—he'd never even heard of it! However, he was generally shocked by the enemy's strength. There was no way around it; the Uchiha clan was just that awesome. Their bloodline was noble, their Mangekyou Sharingan was powerful, and in battle, a mere Byakugan couldn't possibly compete!

The Eighth Hokage's sense of family honor exploded instantly—even if that guy was an enemy, the Uchiha clan was just too awesome!
At the same time, Yahiko made several moves and dismantled Susanoo.

“I’ve already shown mercy. Otherwise, this punch would have been enough to kill you. Even if you possess the Wood Release bloodline limit, you wouldn’t have been able to escape,” Yahiko said in a deep voice.

His fist was only a few centimeters away from Kaede Tsukasa's skin.

"So confident? But you seem to have forgotten that I also possess the secret technique of corpse escape. For me, death is just another form of living."

Kaedeji's expression remained unchanged as Susanoo stretched out a large hand to grab Yahiko, who dodged it in time.

“You cast a spell on Susanoo, and I can see it.” Yahiko’s expression grew increasingly impatient. “You’re so stubborn. It seems I have no choice but to defeat you in one fell swoop. I was actually planning to hold back.”

In just a few seconds, Yahiko launched a high-intensity physical attack on Kaede Tsukasa, which Susanoo was completely unable to stop. Logically speaking, Kaede Tsukasa had no ability to fight him.

Given the choice, Yahiko would rather spend a few more seconds testing the waters to see if he could make Kaedeji back down. If that didn't work... then he would have to go for the more powerful method.

If he were to accidentally kill Kaedeji, he would probably feel guilty.

But then, Kaede Tsukasa simply formed a hand seal and used the zombie to bring a guy over.

"The Gate of Death, open!!"

Might Guy roared, his blood bursting through his skin and rapidly vaporizing into red steam. With a loud hissing sound, it seemed to be burning at high temperatures, just like a scorching ninja.

With all eight gates of his body opened, once again, the extraordinary Might Guy burned himself out, using his fists to carve a path for Kaede Tsukasa.

Although Might Guy had no idea who Yahiko was, it didn't matter. He knew his mission perfectly well: once he opened the Gate of Death, he would fight. He would either kill the enemy or kill himself, and then reopen the Gate of Death after being resurrected!
"What's wrong with this guy??"

As Yahiko watched Might Guy crash into him like a red meteor, seeing his muscles rupture and his skin fester and burn, his determination to perish together with him deeply shocked him!

"He activated eight major acupoints in one go, fully unlocking his body's potential... Damn it, where did Kaedeji find such a monster?!"

boom!
Like two meteorites colliding at high speed, without any airflow effects, Yahiko, who was just like an ordinary person, faced off against the imposing Might Guy head-on. Every second, the two exchanged blows dozens of times before the terrifying sound of their bodies colliding burst forth, forming a shockwave that spread rapidly, creating a visible hurricane with their flesh and blood.

From a distance, the air seemed to have caved in out of thin air, then surged and spread outwards, with terrifying ripples and waves destroying everything around it.

Several nearby streets were destroyed on the spot, and the economic loss alone amounted to tens of billions of taels of silver in an instant. However, at this point, no one cared about the financial loss anymore.

This extraordinary battle left everyone who witnessed it utterly shocked!

This infuriated Obito even more.

"That bastard, was he doing this on purpose? Why didn't he attack while Kaedeji was forming hand seals?! He clearly had that speed, and he went all out against me, but he deliberately held back against the stronger Kaedeji. What kind of crazy tactic is this guy using? Is he under a spell?!"

Obito was furious. His three-tomoe Sharingan eyes were bloodshot, looking exactly like when he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Obito, you're not jealous, are you?"

"Get lost, Afei! If you say another word, I'll shove you into the toilet and make you watch people poop on your head every day!!"

Why don't these inexplicable guys die? If you're going to fight, just fight! Why are you having other ideas in your head, and why are you using different strengths on different people?!
However, witnessing Might Guy and Yahiko's taijutsu battle firsthand still made Obito's expression solemn. This scene before him was definitely a taijutsu duel between the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Even if Kaede Tsukasa himself went up, he couldn't create this kind of explosive feeling in terms of physical skills!
But considering that Might Guy was actually Kaede Tsukasa's tool, and the key point is that this tool can be reused... Obito felt more and more frustrated. After getting the Mangekyou Sharingan, the gap between him and Kaede Tsukasa should have narrowed, but why did he still feel that the distance was far?
Finally, Yahiko could no longer bear it. He wasted several more seconds while maintaining a high level of output on this inexplicable madman in front of him!
"Young name Vigana!"

Yahiko hurled the stake, which instantly enlarged and pinned Might Guy's body to the ground. One stake wasn't enough, so Yahiko threw out many more, completely destroying Might Guy's body.

At this point, all he could do was sigh and use his last bit of strength.

"As expected, it seems I was too presumptuous to have expectations of someone with your personality. Don't blame me then."

Yahiko glared with his right eye, and black cubes began to crash down from the sky, each one enormous, creating a sound like an earthquake.

Finally, a massive weight pressed down on Susanoo, crushing both Kaede Tsukasa and Susanoo into the ground.

"Although I don't know why you know that the Yin-Yang Escape creation I made is called Juezi, it's all over now, and I don't have time to find out about these things."

Yahiko's expression was serious as he watched Kaedeji casually push aside the black cube and jump out from underground.

"Daizhatian, not bad eye technique. It uses numerous cubes created by Daheitian to construct a zone that disrupts perception, similar to a barrier."

Kaede Tsukasa raised his head, pondering. He estimated that using Tsukuyomi or Yachigen no Yahiko wouldn't be very effective, and using Wood Release would be too destructive. He couldn't allow a battle of this level to break out in Konoha.

At this moment, Kaede Tsukasa had already seen that part of Yahiko's body had turned grayish-white, like a stone sculpture.

This made Yahiko even more impatient, and he launched a final attack on Kaedeji without any regard for the consequences. The difference this time was that he was truly determined to kill Kaedeji.

This was the final blow. His self-righteous kindness cost him his best chance. Who would have thought that someone like Might Guy would suddenly jump out and fight him head-on in hand-to-hand combat?

“Might Guy is almost a killer of Otsutsuki, even though you’re not a complete Otsutsuki at all.”

Kaede Tsukasa clapped his hands together. At this moment, he also had to unleash some of his true power. Although the Musou Tsukuyomi had not been fully deployed yet, it was still usable.
