Zombie Sage in Naruto

Chapter 236 Hand-crafted Seeking Dao Jade

Toneri knew that Kaedeji was a very difficult guy to deal with, even defeating the barely resurrected ancestor Hamura, but he did not expect that Kaedeji would dodge his attack in this way.

"This is... a clone? Is this your eye technique?"

Shiren's eyes focused on the illusory shadow that had been hit head-on by the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion. The shadow was badly cleaved and was slowly trying to return to Kaedeji's body. However, Shiren immediately raised his hand and fired a rosary, pinning the shadow firmly to the ground.

He had never seen such a pupil technique before, which left him somewhat bewildered.

"As far as I know, you possess a spacetime technique called the Void Realm Technique, which allows you to swap places with a zombie, but now..."

It was clearly a pupil technique, not some new version of the Void Realm Technique, because the pupil power fluctuation just now was genuine.

However, this ability to instantly switch places with the original body and have the clone take the fatal damage in place of the original body will feel strangely familiar to anyone who knows a little about Kaede Tsukasa's past.

It's practically an enhanced version of the Void Realm Technique.

"Limbo: Border Prison, this is the eye technique of these eyes. Just as I expected, it works very well."

Kaede Tsukasa looked at the shadow that was suppressed by the chakra rosary and could not move, but he did not take it to heart. As long as he could find an opportunity to destroy the rosary, he could rescue the shadow at any time. Once he retrieved it and released it again, it would be the shadow in its prime again.

The advantage of this eye technique lies in its ability to instantly change positions. Whether used as a spatial technique or as a substitution technique, it works perfectly.

Moreover, each shadow possesses the same abilities as the original, essentially acting as a copy. By creating just a few shadows, Kaede Tsukasa can multiply his own strength several times over.

Although this technique looks like a superb skill for crushing weak opponents, making it seem like an advanced shadow clone, it is far superior to shadow clones in terms of damage absorption and actual combat.

Using this technique against the weak is indeed stomping on noobs, but then again, with this level of strength, even without using Limbo: Border Jail, you could easily defeat anyone below the level of a Super Shadow. As for fighting the strong... whether or not you have this technique, no one can guarantee a win against someone stronger than themselves.

Limbo: Border Jail can at least increase one's raw strength several times over. Considering the shared vision between the main body and the shadow, it can also be seen as an advanced version of the Six Paths of Pain.

The key is that the shadow is immortal and indestructible.

Toneri nodded repeatedly: "Is this the power you gained after you gouged out the eye of that guy named Obito? You seem to be very good at surprising people. You're clearly an outsider, and you don't even have the blood of the Otsutsuki clan, yet you were able to obtain this kind of eye."

Most Otsutsuki are not qualified to possess the Rinnegan. Theoretically, only leaders like Isshiki and Momoshiki are qualified. Kaguya, who stabbed Isshiki in the back and eventually awakened the Rinnegan, is an exception.

"This is yet another clear example of the Sage of Six Paths' failure. He passed on the Ten-Tails' bloodline to his descendants, but this resulted in outstanding descendants becoming prey for people like you," Shiren commented.

Kaede Tsukasa slowly shook his head: "It's not Obito. My eyes don't come from Obito."

"Oh? You actually gouged out Nagato's Rinnegan?"

"It's not the one you know... But never mind, I don't need to explain this to you. Let's find out the truth after you survive."

Kaede Tsukasa's eyes widened, and two more shadows were immediately created.

At his current level, he can only create a maximum of three shadows, one less than the original Six Paths Madara in the timeline. This is already his limit.

Ultimately, it was an eye that had been stolen, and since he did not possess the strength and bloodline of the Six Paths level, he was unable to utilize all the power of the Rinnegan.

Under Toneri's gaze, three Kaede Tsukasa rushed towards him, each possessing extremely strong strength and remarkable physical skills.

Yes, it can only be considered passable. Kaede Tsukasa's physical condition is ultimately no match for a real Otsutsuki. He is clearly inferior in speed and strength, but he is already considered top-tier among ninjas.

"From three different directions... it seems they don't want me to use Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion to wipe them all out, but using Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion would be too extravagant."

Sheren suddenly spread his arms wide, prioritizing the shadows that were attacking from the left and right sides.

One after another, smaller black balls emerged from his palm and transformed into green flames, firing out in rapid succession like machine guns.

The attack power of a single chakra rosary is already extremely strong, but now so many are being unleashed at once, with astonishing density and ridiculously fast speed, rapidly squeezing out the space for the two shadows to dodge.

Bang bang bang!
The green fireballs, like a sudden storm, drew deadly trajectories in the air, precisely striking every possible movement of the shadow. Even amidst such a dense barrage, Shiren was able to calculate them all simultaneously.

Violent explosions rang out one after another, and a blinding green light locked the shadow's form in place. Although these shadows created by Limbo: Border Jail were powerful, they were still unable to completely withstand Toneri's concentrated firepower, which was comparable to a small series of Tailed Beast Balls.

Even though the two shadows threw out numerous black rods while simultaneously holding another black rod in their hands, attempting to deflect the fireballs, their bodies were still being torn and twisted by the violent impact, causing their movements to become noticeably sluggish.

"The combined power of the complete Otsutsuki body and the Tenseigan is indeed stronger than I expected."

Kaede Tsukasa's main body frowned slightly. He could feel the immense pressure his shadow was under, but the clones he could utilize were not limited to just his shadow.

Void Realm Technique!

The two shadowy figures vanished instantly, replaced by two unremarkable zombies, who were blasted to pieces by a large number of chakra beads.

"?!"

The fact that they traded ordinary zombies for the precious shadows caused all of Sheren's powerful attacks to miss their mark. By the time he realized what was happening, the two shadows had already reappeared and released the shadow that had been sealed away at the beginning.

Now, the three shadows were free. Without any pause, they transformed into three afterimages, flying rapidly through the air and rushing straight towards Sheren.

As for why it's a straight line instead of a turn or somersaults... it's because it would slow down the attack rhythm too much. Every deflection would be impossible to hide from Sheren's eyes, and it would also slow down one's own speed to some extent. Even if it only slows down by 0.01 seconds, it would be enough for Sheren to have sufficient reaction time.

It would be better to charge straight in and use absolute speed to compress the time difference—after all, Shadow is not afraid of injury or death, and a suicidal charge is exactly the fighting style that Kaede Tsukasa is best at.

"Now, it's time to truly begin what I'm good at: spirit summoning!"

An enormous cloud of smoke surged forth, incredibly thick, and hordes of zombies appeared, summoned from all over the ninja world by Kaede Tsukasa. They stood in close formation, and it was impossible to count their exact number at a glance.

One hundred thousand? One million? Even Sheren couldn't immediately come up with an accurate number, although he didn't intend to calculate it.

The sheer number was enough for Sheren to ignore, but Kirabi and Yukito, watching from afar, felt their scalps tingle as they were even inside the horde of corpses.

Fortunately, Kaede no Tsukasa didn't even notice them, and the surrounding horde of corpses didn't attack, allowing them to hurriedly jump to a more distant location.

"How many people did he kill?!"

Yugito trembled, staring in disbelief at the various headbands adorning the massive, rotting zombies. Ninjas were the most esteemed group on the planet, extremely rare. Even in recent years, despite Kaedeji's efforts to intensify global competition and increase the proportion of ninjas, they remained a tiny minority.

Seeing so many ninjas at a glance, Yugito would have thought that all the ninjas in the world had been killed by Kaedeji and gathered here.

“It’s not entirely those who died in recent years; there are probably even earlier ones. I’ve seen many zombie corpses that are so rotten they’re incomplete.” Killer Bee also felt a chill run down his spine.

The Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails remained silent, observing the changes in the outside world.

Compared to Killer Bee and Yugito, these two tailed beasts actually had more dealings with Kaede Tsukasa—the tailed beasts' mental space was no secret to Kaede Tsukasa, and they had even had mental conversations with him, naturally being "bewitched" by him.

Surpassing the Ten-Tails... That's certainly a huge pie in the sky. Even though they know the chances are slim, it's still more exciting than existing as part of the Ten-Tails.

"Demon, perhaps..."

"Let me think about it and see," Yao replied.

“Then you’d better make a decision quickly. That guy has never had much patience for us. If we don’t satisfy him this time, he’ll definitely find a chance to settle scores with us later,” Two-Tail said.

Kaede Tsukasa's attitude toward the Tailed Beasts is no secret, but when such a person reluctantly lowers his head to look them in the eye, it makes the opportunity all the more precious.

Although many tailed beasts were actually unwilling to cooperate with Kaede Tsukasa, Kaede Tsukasa did not expect all tailed beasts to be willing.

At that very moment, as Toneri focused most of his attention on the shadows and zombies, Kaede Tsukasa's true form began to perform a completely new action.

Without anyone noticing, he opened one hand, and a continuous stream of figures flew out from the horde of corpses, which he caught in his hand.

The main food source is toads.

A large amount of Sage Chakra rapidly surged into Kaedeji's body.

"Don't even think about it, I won't let you have your way."

With a wave of his hands, Toneri unleashed a series of chakra beads in the direction his palms faced. Even though Kaedeji used a technique to change his position, Toneri always locked onto his location immediately.

Boom boom boom! !

Countless explosions occurred, completely overwhelming the land with firepower. Patches of zombies were reduced to minced meat, and towering dust obscured the sky. This offensive dealt a fatal blow to the already extremely fragile land.

"Well done, but take a look at this. This is a forbidden technique that I've always envisioned, but no one has ever qualified me to use it... Immortal Technique: Corpse Escape: Mass Burial of a Hundred Million Talismans!"

Patterns appeared on Kaedeji's face, showing faint signs of frogification, and this frogification was intensifying over time, but Kaedeji didn't care at all.

At his current level, to put it bluntly, even if this body is ruined, given some time, he can create a new one. The only priority is to preserve the precious eyes on this body.

At the same moment, all the zombies moved. Immediately, countless pieces of paper fell from the sky, but they were not paper money; instead, they were... a huge number of explosive tags, which completely transformed the surrounding area into a sea of ​​paper and corpses.

Within the horde of zombies, several zombies with Shadow-level strength were already standing around, casting spells simultaneously.

Six red light curtains rose up, enveloping everything inside, including Sheren and Kaedeji.

Then came the explosion.

A massive, utter explosion occurred, turning every zombie into an anchor point for Kaede Tsukasa's control, combined with the surrounding explosive tags and Sage Chakra.

The endless flames instantly obliterated everything in sight. Within the six red light curtains surrounding them, all destinies seemed fixed, locked in by this unreasonable attack.

"that's it."

Kaede Tsukasa had already appeared outside the light screen, calmly watching the violent explosion.

He has no shortage of corpses, especially after he extensively destroyed and plundered the animation timeline; corpses are the last thing he has in abundance.

By using the Mugen Tsukuyomi to attack the Limited Tsukuyomi, and by driving inexplicable ninjas to launch endless attacks on the Limited Tsukuyomi, Kaede Tsukasa's tentacles have already reached into the anime's timeline.

In other words, Kaede Tsukasa is already immortal. Even if the Sage of Six Paths were to appear and kill him, and wipe out all the zombies in one fell swoop, he would be helpless against the zombies in the other timeline.

With zombies around, Kaede Tsukasa could be instantly teleported there, preventing him from being truly destroyed. After all, the body is ultimately just a consumable.

The next second, Kaede Tsukasa appeared in front of Killer Bee and Yugito.

"what!"

"You damned bastard, what do you want to do?"

Yugito and Killer Bee simultaneously assumed battle stances, their tailed beast cloaks appearing on their bodies, even though they knew it was pointless.

"What exactly happened? I don't have much patience for creatures like you."

Kaede Tsukasa crossed his arms and said calmly, "Give me your chakra, and I promise you will have a place in the future world. You will also have the opportunity to become and surpass the Ten-Tails."

Killer Bee and Yugito quickly realized that Tsukasa Kaede was talking to the tailed beasts inside them.

"What are you talking about? You destroyed my village, and now you're spouting nonsense here. Two-Tails won't listen to you!" Yugito said angrily.

Killer Bee calmly asked, "Have you reached an agreement?"

"It wasn't an agreement. He had already used the Four-Tails to invade our mental space a long time ago, negotiating with us while also threatening us."

As soon as the Eight-Tails spoke, Killer Bee understood.

Kaede Tsukasa said calmly, "Once you've made up your mind, hand over the chakra seed. That Otsutsuki was only temporarily held back by my little tricks. I didn't buy much time."

Once he has mastered the chakra of all the tailed beasts, everything will be fine. Kaede Tsukasa plans to try to create Truth-Seeking Balls to break Otsutsuki Toneri's chakra rosary.
