Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

His hands were clenched into fists, his pupils were only white, and his short black hair was as red as blood.

"The rate of consumption is slower than expected."

He could feel his life energy draining away.

The body's cells crave energy and want to eat.

However, the rate of consumption was lower than expected, and the time he could truly fight in the Eight Gates Formation was longer than that of Might Guy.

"That's not enough. Let me see where your limits are."

"product!"

Kazan roared, his blood boiling and coalescing into a giant dragon head.

Energy materialization!

This is a terrifying phenomenon; even space itself is distorted, and the air seems to be compressed and caved in.

........

Minato Namikaze is the fastest.

He used the Flying Thunder God technique to travel and was the first to arrive at the scene.

The scene looked as if a storm had struck, with ancient trees that had been standing for decades fallen, leaving the area in ruins.

In the center of these ruins, a emaciated person was stuffing food into his mouth, like a bottomless pit, eating frantically.

"Kazan?!"

Minato Namikaze was completely stunned.

He noticed Kazan's pure white suit and the iconic justice cape on his back.

"What on earth is going on?"

When Kazan turned around, he looked just like Luffy after Gear Fifth ended, his skin had no luster, and he was so thin that he was just skin and bones.

But he eats as fast as lightning.

He stuffed such a big cow into his mouth in no time, even chewing the bones to pieces, and swallowed it whole without leaving a single bit behind.

"Yongdai, you've come at the right time. Go and get me some food."

"Anything that's edible is fine."

This damn Eight Gates Formation consumes way too much energy.

He was such a valiant man, yet now he's almost as old as Granny Chiyo.

Chapter 188 October

"Hiccup~~~~~~"

I'm full.

Kazan let out a long burp, and at that moment, his cells, which were on the verge of death, began to revive.

"What did you do to end up like that?"

Tsunade's expression was strange.

Kazan's appearance just now was several times worse than when he lost vitality after breaking the Yin Seal.

His cells had lost their vitality, and he almost died.

"Cultivation".

"Cultivation almost killed you?"

"The Eight Gates Formation, I have opened the Gate of Death."

"So that's it, it's the Gate of Death..."

???

Jiraiya and the others were all stunned.

The rest of them arrived immediately, shocked by what he had done to end up in that state.

It turned out to be the Death Gate of the Eight Gates Formation.

"Eight Gates Formation... Gate of Death?"

It seemed that Minato Namikaze was learning of this technique for the first time.

"It's a forbidden technique that Might Guy spent twenty years perfecting."

"To gain power by opening the eight gates of the human body and activating one's own potential."

"When the eighth gate, the Gate of Death, is opened, one can obtain chakra dozens of times greater than that of a Kage-level chakra user, but the price is death."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave a brief explanation of the Eight Gates.

He believed in his heart that such a thing was impossible; no one could survive after opening the door to death.

But that soaring bloodlust couldn't be faked.

How did Kazan manage to do that?

"Could it be... a return of life?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, imagining Kazan's insane eating spree, considered this possibility.

"Kazan..."

"I know what you want to ask, but give up. If Uncle Dai and Kai can't comprehend the Return of Life, then no one else has a chance."

"Moreover, it's not just about returning life; one also needs to possess Yang-attribute chakra."

Kazan interrupted Hiruzen Sarutobi and gulped down a mouthful of water.

"This thing almost killed me just now."

To achieve the ultimate explosion of potential by burning one's life.

The cost was heavier than imagined.

Simply returning the dog's life is not enough to save it.

Even if he now possesses a monstrous physique like Garp's.

It also requires the assistance of Yang-attribute chakra.

but.......

His gains were also enormous, especially considering that he himself, rather than Guy, would be facing Madara Uchiha in the future.

Kazan was absolutely certain he could defeat Madara Uchiha with a single punch.

That power was so immense; at that moment, Kazan felt as if he could shatter the heavens.

The only drawback is that the duration of continuous combat is very short.

Recalling Guy's battle against Madara Uchiha during the Fourth Shinobi World War, where he activated the Eight Gates Formation.

He threw several punches throughout, and finally unleashed a Night Kai.

Just a few blows were enough to drain his life force.

Kazan's physique is monstrous, much stronger than Kai's, but he could only unleash five attacks, even those powerful enough to distort space.

"If one possessed a physique comparable to that of an immortal, would one be free from all worries?"

The so-called immortal body is a body at the level of the Six Paths.

A vigorous life force and regeneration speed, and a vast amount of chakra.

But most importantly, it is Ashura's chakra.

"What if I obtained the chakra of all the tailed beasts?"

Kazan began to think.

Can the young Ten-Tails Jinchuriki withstand the drain from the Death Gate?

"Give it a try if you have the chance."

He never imagined that he could obtain half of all the tailed beasts' chakra just by talking, like Naruto did.

That's unrealistic.

Aside from the Nine-Tails, the other eight tailed beasts probably wish they could devour Kazan whole right now.

After all, he killed the 3rd, 4th, and 5th tails once, and it's still unknown whether they've been resurrected.

He could only follow the example of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, eating the flesh of the tailed beasts to extract their chakra.

"You guys can go back now, I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, Kazan left the group behind and went back to his house to sleep.

He was very satisfied with the results of his cultivation today.

..........

the other side.

White Zetsu brought important news to Uchiha Jō.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is about to give birth."

White Zetsu's infiltration ability is so strong that even Konoha cannot detect it.

"It's too dangerous to clash with Konoha now, but... it is indeed an opportunity."

Black Jue spoke in a deep voice.

Although Orochimaru has defected, the impact is minimal; Konoha's power remains overwhelming.

This will hinder their ability to capture the Nine-Tails and revive the Ten-Tails in the future.

"When the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki gives birth, the seal inside his body will loosen, and we can summon him through Madara's summoning contract."

"With Kazan around, the Nine-Tails can't cause any trouble."
