Zombie Sage in Naruto

Chapter 181 One Black Zetsu died, but a new Black Zetsu emerged.

Kaede Tsukasa was so moved that he almost cried.

How long has it been? How long has it been since he's seen such an honest human being?
He wasn't wearing any anti-virus gear, nor did he use chakra to attach to his body, and he didn't look at himself with a terrified expression the moment he saw him, wondering if he was about to turn into a zombie.

"You're all so honest, I really don't know what to say. I'm almost reluctant to kill you."

Kaede sighed, his gaze finally settling on the masked man: "Obito, come with me. Don't waste your time in this hypocritical and broken world."

"Hypocritical...broken? You, from the Limited Tsukuyomi, do you have the right to say such things? Your world is the one full of flaws, isn't it?"

The masked man stared resentfully at Kakashi's left eye. He was just a second away from gouging it out, but then Kaede Tsukasa appeared!
Even now, the masked man doesn't know anything about Kaede Tsukasa's techniques, but if he can make such a powerful counterpart of himself so wary, his strength must be even more terrifying!
Suddenly, Black Zetsu moved, and it wasn't that he forcibly controlled Kakashi, but rather that he reached a tacit understanding with Kakashi through some imperceptible subtle movements without any verbal communication.

They both looked up at Kaede Tsukasa's back, and in an instant, they moved at the same time!
"Kamiwei!!"

A spatial vortex appeared out of nowhere on Kaede Tsukasa's back, ready to kill him in one fell swoop!

In an instant, Kaede Tsukasa's entire body, along with the surrounding space, began to distort violently.

"Hmph, done." A slight curve appeared where Black Zetsu had enveloped Kakashi's left eye, and a grin appeared on his lips. He and Kakashi had combined their strength to unleash Kamui, and the speed at which they cast the spell reached an exaggerated level.

Anyway, Black Zetsu doesn't need to worry about straining his eyes. Let's wait until he survives from Kaede Tsukasa, this visitor from another world.

"That way, Obito can be saved. After that, I need to find out exactly what happened..."

Kakashi looked at Kaede Tsukasa, who had already been swallowed up by Kamui, and thought to himself.

As for Obito wanting to gouge out his left eye? It was originally Obito's eye, so he had no intention of resisting. In fact, he was already satisfied to see his best friend again. What was a mere Mangekyou Sharingan?
The masked man's expression remained grave as he sternly ordered, "Don't hesitate, Black Zetsu, let's get out of here quickly!"

As he spoke, he impatiently reached out and dug, not caring what Kakashi was thinking, he just wanted to get his eyes back as soon as possible and escape.

With a soft "plop," the masked man did indeed gouge out his left eye, but just as he was about to attach it to his own left eye, he paused for a moment—his left eye socket contained a regular three-tomoe Sharingan, and he needed to remove this three-tomoe Sharingan first before he could fill it with the Mangekyou Sharingan, but the problem was…

"You're very cautious, but you did the right thing. If you had really gouged out that ordinary eye, there would have been no chance at all. You wouldn't even have had a chance to escape with Izanagi."

Obito arrived, emerging from the black hole that appeared out of nowhere, brushing the dust off his clothes: "Besides, I've already obtained the coordinates of your alternate dimension. You have no chance anymore. As long as you continue to use Kamui, no matter which eye's Kamui, I will definitely seize the opportunity."

“Another Obito…” Black Zetsu thought quickly, unsure if there was a chance to cooperate with this Obito from another world. Anyway, his goal was to achieve the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and it didn’t matter who carried it out.

The masked man stared intently at him, but in reality, he was waiting for his friend, Tobi, to come and support him from the mountain graveyard of the Land of Iron. However, the chances were slim—the distance was too far, and time was too short. If all else failed, he would have no choice but to use Izanagi to escape.

At this moment, Kakashi spoke up: "Obito, is this the enemy? His face is hidden in a white vortex mask, hiding his true nature. We've already taken care of his accomplices, so we can just join forces to finish him off."

He moved his left hand: "The black thing attached to my left side seems to have a special ability; it can enhance my physical attributes."

The masked man sternly said, "Fool, haven't you realized yet? That Kaede Tsukasa is most likely not dead. Although we don't know exactly how he did it, he definitely won't be defeated so easily!"

The worst-case scenario is that guy is also a space-time ninja...

Obito frowned: "Is that so? So you've already met with Kaede Tsukasa? That's terrible... Come out here, do you find it fun to play with these idiots?"

"Tsk, it's actually quite interesting, especially seeing you and your timeline counterpart outwit each other. It felt like watching a very entertaining monkey show."

Kaede Tsukasa appeared silently on a branch of a large tree, sitting cross-legged: "I did get a close look at the power of Kamui's eye technique, it's pretty good, but just pretty good."

Kamui is absolutely overpowered in the current version, but unfortunately, after the Otsutsuki version is updated, space-time techniques will become the standard for Six Paths level. Servants like Kinshiki can use Byakugan to possess abilities that even surpass Kamui's.

Even compared to the Great Sun Spirit, Kamui is somewhat lacking.

"This guy is still alive..."

"How could that be? I moved him away with my own eyes!"

Black Zetsu and Kakashi were very surprised.

Kaede jumped down and slowly said, "What you killed was just one of my zombie doppelgangers. I can have thousands of zombies like this at any time. Even you yourselves are already potential usable corpses for me."

Corpse Escape: Corpse Transformation Technique!

Kaede Tsukasa merely glanced at Kakashi, and Kakashi immediately showed a look of pain. Even the masked man was not spared; his thoughts began to become chaotic, and he let out strange roars.

"What kind of technique is this?!"

Black knew Kakashi's physical changes best. Sensing the dramatic changes in his various physical indicators, he was immediately dumbfounded. He had never seen such a ninjutsu before!
"Is it a technique similar to nano-poisonous insects, or simply a virus..." Black Zetsu was shocked and finally understood why Kaede Tsukasa said they were very honest.

Obito suddenly moved, enduring the stinging pain from his newly transplanted right eye, and forcefully activated Susanoo, extending a chakra blade to cut off the masked man's left hand, the hand that was tightly gripping the Mangekyou Sharingan's left eye.

But the hand didn't end up in his hands; Kaede Tsukasa got it first.

"Those are my eyes."

"No, it's my eyes."

Kaedeji said calmly, "Who told you not to defeat Obito of this world quickly? You were too hasty. If you had gathered more information before making your move, you should have gouged this left eye out of Kakashi first." "What will it take for you to give it to me?"

"If the conditions are met, I will give it to you."

Kaede Tsukasa admired the eye in his hand: "You know, my Mukoro Tsukuyomi needs some bait to properly motivate those guys, and it can also be used to attract more people to join voluntarily. What do you think about using this eye to fish? Whoever can fulfill the task I issue will get the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Mangekyou Sharingan, click to receive it!
Kaede Tsukasa thought this idea was brilliant. Attracting more people to join the Mukoro Tsukuyomi would continuously power him up, and perhaps in a few years, the technique he envisioned would be usable without any problems.

As for Obito, who was extremely angry and dissatisfied...

“Obito, you know that because of me, you were able to enter this timeline and have the opportunity to obtain the right eye of another version of yourself,” Kaede Tsukasa said slowly. “Don’t test my patience. Even if you don’t use Izanagi to create the Dragon Vein, I can still do it with my own Mangekyou Sharingan.”

Sure enough, this guy also possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan. No wonder he dared to stare at another Obito with ordinary eyes!! Black Zetsu roared inwardly, but why is this guy's surname Kaede?

Moreover, the key to traversing parallel worlds lies in the Dragon Vein. He obtained crucial intelligence and things like the Mukoro Tsukuyomi, but this did not bring Black Zetsu joy. Instead, a chill crept into his heart.

This means... neither of these two guys intended to let him go either.

Obito had no interest in Black Zetsu; his mood had already turned extremely bad. If he was destined from the beginning to never get both eyes and could only get one, then his current gains were already more than enough to satisfy him.

But if he was just a moment away from perfection, and then watched helplessly as a villain like Kaede Tsukasa forcefully took it away right in front of him, that kind of loss would be too devastating.

Anyway, Obito was about to lose his temper. He was so angry that his chest heaved, but he could only glare helplessly.

Thinking about it carefully, at the very least, he's about to have a permanent right eye, which seems to be enough...

"By the way, let me remind you, if I'm not mistaken, simply and crudely piling up two types of eye power won't get you the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. However, I can't be sure, and you'll need to verify that yourself," Kaedeji Tsukasa said casually.

"Enough! Stop talking nonsense!"

Obito couldn't help but roar, "You still want to make me waver in a place like this? Don't forget, I am Madara's successor. I have almost all of his information, including how to obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Do you know more about the Mangekyou Sharingan than Madara?"

"I see. We'll know who's right and who's wrong in time. Actually, I really hope you succeed, as it would save me a lot of effort. But unfortunately, I don't think things will go smoothly."

Kaede Tsukasa is more inclined to believe that Indra's chakra is the key to the Eternal Eye, and also the most important factor in obtaining the Rinnegan based on the Eternal Eye.

If Obito gets stuck at this point, he'll never be able to raise his power ceiling, and that's all he'll ever be.

As for the masked man and Kakashi... although they haven't completely turned into zombies yet, they're close. Their minds are becoming blurred, and if Kaedeji gives them even the slightest push, both of them will be finished.

He ultimately did lend a hand, uploading the consciousness of both of them into the Musou Tsukuyomi as NPCs.

“Then it’s your turn, Black Zetsu,” Kaede Tsukasa said.

“Hehe, I have no hatred towards you. Whatever you want to get from this world, you’d better have a local help you. I can do that role,” Black Zetsu said.

Obito scoffed, "Hmph, are you planning to sell this world to us? Since this world doesn't have Kaede Tsukasa, then whose will are you the embodiment of?"

"I was created by Lord Madara. What, does your world also have Black Zetsu, and isn't it an incarnation of Lord Madara?"

“In my world, you were Kaedeji’s lackey, but you weren’t well-liked by him, so I killed that version of you. I threw him into a black hole, and he’s already been torn apart by the gravity of spacetime,” Obito said coldly.

Such a huge change has actually occurred... Black Zetsu felt heavy-hearted and even more bewildered. His other self in the other world was also supposed to act in order to revive his mother, so why did he not choose to disguise himself as Madara's will, but instead as Kaede Tsukasa's?

Unless Kaedeji possesses something of immense value that would make the other man willing to risk everything to obtain it.

“That must be another me with a major flaw, he deserves to die! But I’m different, I can help you get everything in this world. With two worlds at your disposal, no enemy can stand against you.”

Black Zetsu initially judged that these two probably didn't know the history of the ninja world and had no knowledge of the Otsutsuki clan. However, Obito's next words horrified him.

"Does this world also have Otsutsuki Hamura? That's perfect, I'll find a chance to kill him again, this time I can do it! I'm quite interested in the Byakugan bloodline limit. And that guy who controlled Yahiko has eyes that surpass the Byakugan, I want to get those too," Obito said coldly.

Black Zetsu was stunned.

Hamura?! He knew that name all too well. These two actually knew about Otsutsuki Hamura! And they even managed to kill him?! He was going crazy. What kind of bizarre event had happened in that other world?!
"I don't recognize the name you're mentioning. And Yahiko, he's been dead for ages." Black Zetsu feigned ignorance, trying to glean more information.

Obito finally became a little interested: "It seems that the course of history in this world has changed. By making comparisons, we can see various different details and find out where the problem lies."

Kaede Tsukasa was not interested. He knew even with his toes that all the mismatches in the evolution were because of him, but he didn't need to bring it up.

Finally, Obito asked the most crucial question: "Now that we've come to this world, how do we get back?"

"Finding the dragon vein is all that's needed, it's simple. But something more interesting is happening now. Don't you want to see what another version of you has accomplished? The amazing feat of unleashing the Nine-Tails to destroy Konoha Village."

Kaede looked in a certain direction.

Minato Namikaze has already used the Reaper Death Seal Technique to split the Nine-Tails in two. Not only that, he also created two shadow clones.
