Zombie Sage in Naruto

Chapter 212 I want all the eyes!

"Finally, it's a success... After spending so much time and effort, missing out on hunting Jigen and capturing the Ten-Tails, this is something I've finally obtained, and it certainly hasn't disappointed me."

Kaede Tsukasa has waited far too long for this moment.

Connecting the two major genjutsu is no easy feat, even for those with dragon veins. The sheer amount of chakra consumed has depleted most of Kaede Tsukasa's reserves, bringing him close to the critical 80% limit.

If this fails, Kaedejima might order the Konoha ninjas to launch a full-scale attack and capture a bunch of more ninjas, but that would only be a temporary measure. Capturing a few tailed beasts to use as batteries would certainly be enough, but that would provoke Jigen and the Sage of Six Paths. In the current extremely complex situation, Kaedejima needs to avoid uncontrollable variables as much as possible.

Despite the fact that Jigen seems to be pushed to his limit and about to collapse if he exerts any more force, he will actually recover in just over ten days. As for the Sage of Six Paths, he has been observing and is probably waiting for this generation of Indra and Ashura to grow up.

Unless the world is destroyed, the Sage of Six Paths would probably not share his Six Paths Power with strangers, but would rather give it to the reincarnations of his two sons.

Fortunately, the mission was successfully completed.

"In practice, the difficulty of the Limited Tsukuyomi was a bit beyond my expectations. Even if the rules of a real illusion world are incomplete, it is still huge enough for me..."

Kaede Tsukasa couldn't be more satisfied with this result. In his mind, he could appear in the Limited Tsukuyomi whenever he wanted.

Of course, it also appears in the form of a spiritual entity, but that's enough. The dark personality he placed in the Mugen Tsukuyomi can freely enter the Limited Tsukuyomi and unleash its full power!
If Kaede Tsukasa wants, the dark personality can switch places with Kaede Tsukasa at any time, while Kaede Tsukasa's original body can enter and exit the Limited Tsukuyomi, since the Limited Tsukuyomi is a real parallel world.

If he can enter the Limited Tsukuyomi, then Kaede Tsukasa can appear on the anime timeline at any time, and from then on, he will no longer have the worry of death.

Even those few Otsutsuki clans wouldn't be able to easily cross timelines to hunt him down, let alone kill every single zombie and exterminate all the living people.

This is true immortality and eternal life.

"Next, it's time to shift our focus..."

Kaede Tsukasa's gaze swept over Konoha Village. He stood in the Hokage Building, watching the commotion outside.

The things these ninjas were exclaiming about, even the impending war between the two illusionary worlds, were not a big deal to Kaede Tsukasa.

His eyes widened, and the Mangekyou Sharingan he had extracted from Obito's body in the anime timeline activated Kamui. Where his gaze focused, space distorted, ultimately opening a spatial tunnel.

Kaedeji stepped inside and appeared at the Naga Shrine in the next second.

"You came to my village but didn't come to find me first. Instead, you came to a place like this. Did you discover something? And you even brought Nagato with you?"

Kaede looked at the two Rinnegan users in front of him.

“This space-time eye technique is very similar to Jigen’s methods… Where did you get this Mangekyou Sharingan from?” Nagato’s expression changed.

He had suffered enough from the disadvantages of space-time techniques and had long harbored the idea of ​​obtaining space-time abilities, but he had no idea where to start, so he could only return to the old path—desperately digging into the hidden power of the Rinnegan.

The problem is, even Madara himself, who taught him, couldn't gain the ability to open spatial portals from those eyes. Is it possible for him to work on this?

Now, seeing Kaedeji silently pull out a new Mangekyou Sharingan, Nagato's mood became even more depressed. The main problem was that there was no end in sight for someone like Kaedeji; he always managed to pull out something new out of nowhere, leaving people feeling incredibly...

jealous.

Yes, he was envious. Nagato was proud of his own Rinnegan, but he also felt a subtle jealousy towards Kaede Tsukasa's eye technique.

"It's only similar; strictly speaking, it's far inferior to Jigen's level," Kaedeji said casually.

Jigen's teleportation portal can truly open and close instantly, allowing him to escape at the speed of light during battle. This is something that the ranged Kamui cannot do at all. The close-range Kamui is somewhat capable, since he can transfer the part of his body that is attacked to another dimension. However, it is too slow to teleport his entire body through space.

It doesn't matter anyway, since Kaede Tsukasa never had high expectations for Kamui from the beginning. After using up Shisui's eye, he couldn't just leave an empty eye socket, so he decided to make use of it and transplant Kamui's eye onto it.

The more casually he described it, the more tormented Nagato, who had recently witnessed the power of Jigen, felt.

Kaede Tsukasa said calmly, "You possess the Rinnegan. Logically speaking, these eyes should naturally have space-time abilities. After you cultivate for a while, you might be able to move over extremely long distances at will, just like me."

He didn't mention Madara because Madara was a dead man, and no matter what he did, he couldn't gain more power.

"I hope so. I'll try to get him to open the Limbo: Border Prison first, and then continue digging. Maybe we can get the spacetime ability."

Madara said, "Compared to us, it seems you've succeeded. You've been busy for so long, only to connect two illusion worlds? It seems you've also chosen to deviate from the path I set for you, and you don't intend to choose Infinite Tsukuyomi."

As he spoke, Madara kept scrutinizing Kaede Tsukasa's left eye, staring intently at the unfamiliar pattern. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out where Kaede Tsukasa had gotten this real Mangekyou Sharingan from.

At first, Madara suspected that the eye was a fake, because Kaede Tsukasa was obsessed with the appearance of Musou Tsukuyomi and Limited Tsukuyomi, and even connected the two Tsukuyomi.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the eye, he then suspected that Kaedeji had secretly used the Box of Elysium to wish for it again—but he couldn't detect that undeniable, sinful, and corrupt power in the left eye. In the entire Uchiha clan, besides Obito and Shisui, who else had secretly awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan? Who could possibly have that ability?
"Infinite Tsukuyomi... Madara, since you brought Nagato here and have lingered for so long, it means you already have the answer in your heart, right? Even if it's just a doubt?"

“That’s right. Such a crucial ultimate technique should not have any flaws or defects under any circumstances. However, there are still a few mysteries that I haven’t solved. Seeing this stone tablet again is just confirming my guess.”

Ban's expression was unusually sinister, like a demon struggling and twisting in the darkness, carrying an unspeakable cruelty and a viciousness born of a broken will.

If there is really no problem with the inscription on the stone tablet, then why didn't the Sage of Six Paths, who inscribed these words, write down the question that the caster was most concerned about?

For example, why didn't the Sage of Six Paths use Infinite Tsukuyomi himself, and what was the Sage of Six Paths' true origin? Even mentioning the word "Otsutsuki" would have made Madara carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan without hesitation!

"Perhaps it's a trap set by some other guy, but I can't tell what kind of trap it is for the time being. I became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, planted the God Tree, and awakened my Third Eye to cast genjutsu on the entire ninja world using the moon as a medium. I can't find the problem at any step." Madara's face was gloomy.

Kaede Tsukasa said, "So this is the biggest problem. In this era where the Otsutsuki have all appeared, the narrative logic recorded on the stone tablet is outdated. It's a method from the previous era. Looking at it from today's perspective, you can hardly tell that something is wrong. So what do you plan to do? Do you want to incorporate my Mukotsuki Dictionary?"

"...This pointless joke isn't funny. I will guide Nagato in his training, and then find a way to get rid of Jigen. Whatever happens in the end, getting rid of Jigen first is not a problem."

"Okay, come find me when you're ready, but you know, the fee you'll have to pay for my services will be very high."

Madara immediately understood what Kaede Tsukasa meant—to revive someone using the Reincarnation Technique.

Once resurrected, he will lose the fake Rinnegan he is currently using. He will either have to gouge out Nagato's eyes in advance, or find a way to get a pair of Kaleidoscope-level eyes to use in the meantime.

After obtaining the eyes, the key is still to find a way to defeat the Ten-Tails and seal it into his aging body. This is the most troublesome step, which determines that Madara cannot dig out Nagato's Rinnegan.

If the aging Madara really did gouge out Nagato's eyes and transplant them into his own body after being resurrected, then if his plan to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki failed, he would have no way out. Who else could he find to take on those Rinnegan eyes and use the Rinne Rebirth technique to revive him in his youthful form?
Who knows if the Ten-Tails without its Divine Tree form can actually become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki as expected?

The slightest misstep could lead to total defeat, or even death on the spot. Therefore, after much deliberation, Madara decided that it was better to play it safe and that the most suitable target was that guy... Obito.

A guy who is about to obtain, or has already obtained, the Eternal Eye.

With eyes of the Eternal Eye level, and a dojutsu like the Great Sun Spirit, a super space-time dojutsu, Madara couldn't find a new eye that would satisfy him more.

What? Obito is his successor? As mentioned before, he had almost forgotten that he had a successor. Since the successor is no longer useful and seems to have other ideas, he might as well discard him. After all, he was just a pawn.

As long as Madara waits for Obito to be alone, he can cripple Obito with a single hand seal. When he transplanted White Zetsu cells into Obito's body, he did a lot of tampering, turning Obito's body into a sieve long ago, and Obito wouldn't be able to find out because he was using Yin-Yang Release!

Madara planned to hunt Obito. Although he didn't say it out loud, Kaede Tsukasa could roughly guess Madara's thoughts just by looking at him.

"Heh, it seems you're also constantly devising new, very feasible plans... Nagato, you'd better keep a close eye on your partner; he's never been a peaceful fellow."

Kaede Tsukasa chuckled lightly. What a joke! He had already reserved Obito's eyes!

The Tsukuyomi is far from being completed. To truly achieve widespread and indiscriminate casting, and to allow everyone to log in and out at any time, the safest way is to conjure a small moon and throw it into the sky as a medium for casting the spell!
Kaede didn't want to hand over such an important WIFI business to Nagato, and he didn't plan to take away Nagato's Rinnegan for the time being. So the remaining matter was simple and clear: either go to the anime timeline and take out Nagato's eyes; or nurture Obito and let Obito obtain the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

But Kaede Tsukasa's final decision was... he wanted them all.

Don't forget, Kaede Tsukasa has a clone. His dark personality, which he cut off, acts as the GM in the illusion, directly managing and interfering with the increasingly large and complex illusion world.

Not to mention that he is now connected to the Limited Tsukuyomi. Once Kaede Tsukasa really covers the Limited Tsukuyomi with the Musou Tsukuyomi, it means that he will break the boundary between illusion and reality and master an alternative, incomplete but infinitely usable Izanagi.

Anything within the two Tsukuyomi can be pulled out by Kaede Tsukasa and projected into the real world. After all, even the limited Tsukuyomi can cause bizarre events like the native Sakura and the Sakura from the anime timeline briefly swapping worlds.

In this drafty thatched hut of the animation timeline, anything can happen.

Furthermore, there is a theoretical possibility that he and his dark personality could switch places, so... he needs two pairs of Rinnegan! One pair of eyes is used to guard the illusion, and when necessary, the dark personality can also use the real Rinnegan to appear in one of the two timelines to assist Kaede Tsukasa in carrying out his actions.

Moreover, Kaede Tsukasa truly values ​​the precious Otome technique, the Great Sun Spirit, and if he misses this opportunity, he might never get it again—because Sarada is unlikely to be born. If she were born, her life experiences would be completely different, her mind would change, and it would be very difficult for her to obtain the Great Sun Spirit Otome technique again.

At this moment, Obito was unaware that he was in extreme danger, but he was certainly aware of the trouble that was about to begin—who could have predicted that Kaede Tsukasa would connect the two genjutsu worlds?!
They even organized these people to attack the Limited Tsukuyomi from the Formless Tsukuyomi? That's ridiculous! A bunch of illusory people going to war in another real illusionary world—if they lose, they'll only suffer mental damage and recover after a while. But what if they win? Do they think they can get a real body in the Limited Tsukuyomi?

"To control a real body with an illusory spirit, that kind of thing..."

Obito remembered the strange word that Kaede Tsukasa had said—"getting on the list," which probably meant this.

"Obito."

Just then, Afei suddenly spoke up out of the blue: "Your plans have been completely disrupted, haven't they? You can no longer use the previous method to find Indra's reincarnation in the Limited Tsukuyomi. How about we try a different method? I will use the Limited Tsukuyomi technique to send your true body into the Limited Tsukuyomi."

Obito's first reaction was that he felt a little strange, because Tobi would never give such a clear and specific action plan.
