I have a bunch of relatives who want to become Hokage.

Killer Bee avoided eye contact.

Although he was dead, the opponent's illusion technique was indeed powerful, as the Eight-Tails inside him warned him.

Avoid eye contact with the other person.

He is not yet the freakish figure he will become more than a decade later, capable of defeating Uchiha Sasuke, who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, with mere ninjutsu.

Whether in physical techniques or ninjutsu, they are far inferior.

The Huangyulu felling knife is still under development.

“Don’t talk big, you’re already dead.” Killer Bee’s chakra began to surge. “I still have a lot to do. I won’t die at the hands of a dead man.”

An octopus tentacle suddenly extended from his body and coiled towards Uchiha Kei.

"So, you're the vessel." Uchiha Itachi turned his body to the side, dodging the attack.

Half an octopus tentacle fell to the ground.

Uchiha Kei was skilled in Fire Release and Wind Release during his lifetime.

"I take back what I just said. You won't become a puppet; you'll just die."

Chapter Twenty-Three: You Must Leave Quickly

The first time Uchiha Itachi saw Senju Muzu was during a surprise attack on the Senju of the Forest. At that time, Senju Muzu was still an insignificant member of the Senju of the Forest.

According to the customs of the Warring States period, he led his clansmen to attack a young child of the Thousand Hands.

The younger brother, who had no hands and feet, was hacked to death by him and his clansmen. Considering that both the Senju and Uzumaki clans were ninja clans with strong vitality, they simply hacked him to pieces before stopping.

Unfortunately, they missed the chance to kill the Senju Muzan at that time, as the Senju clan ninjas returned.

This was the thing that Uchiha Keishi regretted most before his death.

A few years later, a creature that ran incredibly fast appeared in the Thousand Hands of the Forest. No one cared what it was called anymore; even the Thousand Hands clan habitually referred to it as the Thousand Hands Without Feet.

Yes, that thing.

They're not even human!

How did the Forest Thousand Hands, known for its love, manage to raise such a thing?

Everyone says the Uchiha clan is evil, but isn't this group much more evil?

Uchiha Kei didn't really care if people called him evil. Wasn't slander from enemies a symbol of one's strength? In the clan, apart from the clan leader and Izuna, no one was stronger than him.

So, he couldn't accept that his evil index had actually lost to a Thousand Hands.

Especially when this evaluation came from the clan chief he admired most.

He had always hoped to possess the Mangekyou Sharingan, but unfortunately, he had never succeeded. The clan leader bluntly told him to give up, saying that he wasn't cut out for it, simply because he wasn't ruthless enough to harm his own friends.

Later, he did take action, killing not only his friends but also his closest relatives, but by then he was no longer alive.

He knew Thousand Hands and Feet too well, just as Thousand Hands and Feet knew him well, and he knew how to make him wish he could die again.

In the eyes of the Thousand-Armed and Footless, a vessel for a tailed beast certainly has no value in being resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Seeing Killer Bee's transformation ahead, Uchiha Itachi made no attempt to stop him, quietly waiting for Killer Bee to complete his tailed beast transformation.

The impure body is indestructible, and its chakra will never be exhausted.

So, let the other party do whatever they want.

As Killer Bee transformed into his tailed beast form, the violent chakra began to affect the surrounding air, attracting the attention of the dead.

"Qi, are you kidding me?"

"It looks interesting; it's a 'container'."

"Fighting with your own will is truly exhilarating!"

Several impure bodies surrounded them.

The vast majority of the impure bodies had already attacked other parts of the city, and there were no living people left in the south city.

When the Thousand-Armed and Footless Ones use the Impure World Reincarnation technique, they never leave any survivors. They were the same in life, never having any concept of showing mercy.

Wherever they go, they sweep through like locusts.

This is also the only way they can relieve their pain.

Unfortunately, none of them had any connection with the ninja clans that made up Kumogakure. So, the dead had no mental qualms about killing the Kumogakure ninjas, thinking that since it was their last chance, they should have a good time.

Meanwhile, in Killer Bee's mental world...

"Hey! Calm down! Fighting them is pointless, you don't know any sealing techniques!"

Eight-Tails reminded Kirabi.

"I know! We need to find the caster."

That's not true at all! You need to leave right now!

The Eight-Tails realized that Killer Bee hadn't understood it at all.

Listen carefully, these people surrounding you now were all terrifying individuals when they were alive. Although their strength has diminished considerably since then, they remain the same in other aspects!

"Tailed Beast, are you communicating with your container?" one of the impure bodies suddenly asked.

The communication between Killer Bee and the Eight-Tails ended, not by their own will.

The first to notice something was wrong was Ya-Tails.

[Oh no! Attack! Quickly! Attack that person!]

Although he didn't know what had happened, Killer Bee, who had completed his half-tailed beast transformation and was covered in dark red tailed beast chakra, pounced on the reanimated body without hesitation.

This single movement was as if the earth were shaking.

The black and red figure, accompanied by destructive chakra fluctuations, released shockwaves that ravaged the earth, carving deep trenches into the ground.

The several impure bodies didn't take it seriously; instead, they sneered.

The next moment, everyone was torn to pieces.

【broken……】

The eight-tailed creature secretly groaned, recognizing the technique.

There was once a clan in the ninja world that was famous for its self-sacrificing sealing techniques.

Sure enough, tadpole-shaped runes began to appear on Killer Bee's body, and his chakra power began to plummet.

At the same time, dust-like particles were gathering in the air.

If the opponent is in the form of impure earth, then the self-sacrifice technique becomes an ordinary technique.

Above Killer Bee, Uchiha Itachi's figure appeared, his hands, which had completed the hand seals, pressed down.

A fierce storm arose, as if a giant hand had fallen from the sky, instantly blasting Killer Bee into the shattered earth.

The fine wind blades pierced through the tailed beast's cloak and cut directly into Killer Bee's body, instantly turning him into a bloody mess.

With a whooshing sound, the bone spear was already aimed at Killer Bee's head.

"Roar!"

With a roar unlike any human's, Killer Bee vanished, replaced by a tailed beast.

To save his friend's life, the Eight-Tails had no choice but to forcibly take over Killer Bee's body and attack in its perfect form.

In an instant, the earth sank, and the enormous tailed beast broke through the enemy's sealing technique, sending several impure bodies flying far away with its violent power.

But what came head-on was a chakra attack fueled by natural energy.

Everything on the ground was swept away, and the Eight-Tails took the hit head-on with its face.

Its massive body was struck and its head was thrown back.

I spotted the huge sand sphere overhead at a glance.

The sand ball exploded instantly.

The yellow sand poured over the eight tails' bodies like a shower.

[That idiot Shukaku, why is it so easy for others to learn from him...]

The Eight-Tails secretly groaned, realizing that Killer Bee's current strength was far from enough for it to truly unleash its power.

Just as I was thinking this, I felt something pressing against my stomach.

It was lifted up.

With a rip of the yellow sand covering his face, Eight-Tails saw a sky full of ice blades hurtling towards him.

What held it up was a huge rock pillar, and behind the rock pillar were seven or eight impure earth bodies.

All around, more and more impure bodies have appeared, staring at it with bloodthirsty eyes.

Eight-tailed Fox knew that if it didn't leave now, it would be too late.

The city has quieted down; it's obvious they've all been killed by these guys.

However, before it could regain its footing, dozens of impure bodies pounced on it.

The firelight obscured its vision.

The shockwaves from the explosion traveled through its entire body, and its chakra-based body began to give way.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Killer Bee Running

After throwing a group of reanimated corpses into Nanguan Castle, Uchiha Shingen left them alone.

Regardless of their relationship in life, their teamwork in the first playthrough was quite skillful, and it was only a matter of time before they wiped out Nanguan City.

However, the scope of operations can only be limited to the South Gate City and cannot be extended beyond it.

In a battle between ninja villages, killing the opposing ninja is perfectly justified.

But for ordinary people, if they had any other choice, ninjas would not touch them, even in a national war.

As for Nanguan City, Uchiha Shingen could release those three hundred Edo Tensei without restraint, because they were all ninjas inside.
