Zombie Sage in Naruto

Chapter 37 This is not the end, but the beginning

"Your Void Technique, it's not a Bloodline Limit, is it?" Sasori of the Red Sand suddenly said.

"No, it's undoubtedly a secret technique. In theory, everyone can cultivate it."

Kaede Tsukasa emphasized the "theoretical" aspect.

Sasori of the Red Sand understood what Kaede Tsukasa meant; in any case, he didn't believe he couldn't learn Kaede Tsukasa's secret technique.

So, if the problem isn't with the threshold for cultivation, then it must be with the conditions for cultivation.

He also placed a scroll on the ground: "That old woman hasn't perfected this technique yet. Hmph, a forbidden technique to transfer one's own life force. I roughly know what she's trying to do. How boring. Does she think she can change my mind with this method?"

“I have no interest in the conflict between you and your grandmother.”

Kaede Tsukasa slowly retreated, then immediately summoned a zombie and retrieved the scroll of the Reincarnation Technique. Sasori of the Red Sand did the same.

There was no sneak attack, no poisoning, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no problems, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

Kaedeji directed the zombies to open the scroll, looked at the dense text on it, and nodded in satisfaction.

Sasori's clone directly controlled the puppet to leave, and after several twists and turns, it met the main body at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.

"It went more smoothly than I expected, and my opinion of that guy has improved a bit... He might actually be a genuine fellow traveler."

Sasori of the Red Sand was also on edge. He had not yet reached his peak, and if he were to take such a risk and make a deal, he would be in a very troublesome situation if he were exposed.

A conflict with Kaede Tsukasa or other Konoha ninja would also be troublesome.

Swish!
Sasori of the Red Sand opened the scroll, carefully read the Void Realm Technique on it, and closed it expressionlessly after reading it from beginning to end.

"To learn the Corpse Transformation: Void Realm Technique, one must first master the prerequisite secret technique for Corpse Escape: Corpse Transformation Technique?"

Sasori of the Red Sand snorted coldly, not believing in such nonsense. This Void Realm Technique essentially uses corpses to perform space-time ninjutsu.

If he can use a corpse to perform magic, then why can't he use a puppet to perform magic?

Corpses and human puppets are not essentially the same thing. Moreover, the potential for modification of corpses is far less than that of human puppets!
"Just wait, I'll learn it in no time."

Sasori of the Red Sand put away the scroll, turned and stepped into the sandstorm, but soon had to stop and stare blankly ahead.

“I thought you would focus your main efforts on negotiations with Konoha or the war with Iwagakure.” Sasori of the Red Sand sized up Chiyo.

"The war is over. The village suffered too many losses, and there was no point in continuing to fight. We have also made peace with Iwagakure. The Kazekage is negotiating with the Tsuchikage."

"The Third Kazekage ultimately chose to compromise. He, who was hailed as the strongest Kazekage, gained nothing in this war? But that has nothing to do with me," Sasori of the Red Sand said coldly.

Chiyo's expression was complicated: "Scorpion, what did you do?"

"As you can see, I made a good deal with that guy, exchanging your useless Reincarnation Technique for his Space-Time Technique."

Sasori of the Red Sand said, "You should be happy about this. That guy's technique is much more useful than yours. Our village will have mastered a space-time ninjutsu like never before."

Chiyo sighed, "I felt something was wrong after I discovered new traces in the secret room. It was you after all. How did Kaedeji know I was developing the Reincarnation Technique?" She really didn't know what to do. Arrest Sasori of the Red Sand for the crime of betraying the village? Don't be ridiculous. She valued Sasori's life more than her own, otherwise she wouldn't have developed the forbidden technique of transferring life force.

"Who knows? It was probably done by that shrine maiden. It means our village has been completely infiltrated by Konoha. If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time tracking a place like this."

Chiyo thought this was ridiculous. She had never told anyone about her secret development of the Reincarnation Technique. Only Sasori had the ability to enter her secret room, so she concluded that Sasori had revealed it to Kaedeji.

She said in a deep voice, "You're too young to know how cunning those guys in Konoha are! The fact that he gave you the space-time ninjutsu means he got far more benefits from you than just the ninjutsu itself!"

To resurrect zombies using the Reincarnation Technique? No, Chiyo only had to think about it for a moment before she immediately guessed Kaedeji's plan, and her disappointment and helplessness grew even stronger.

No wonder, no wonder he set his sights on the Reincarnation Technique. From now on, Kaede Tsukasa will break free from his shackles and truly become a strongman.

“The village will have another powerful enemy, who might be even more troublesome than Hatake Sakumo! Hatake Sakumo doesn’t know space-time ninjutsu!” Chiyo sighed deeply, feeling more exhausted than ever before.

She desperately tried to capture Kaedeji, but not only did she fail, her painstakingly researched Reincarnation Technique also fell into Kaedeji's hands, becoming his greatest asset on his path to becoming a powerful figure.

Yes, the biggest help, bar none!

Chiyo could hardly imagine how troublesome a guy would be if Kaedeji had mastered the means to transfer life force to zombies, alleviate his physical limitations, utilize corpses on the battlefield anytime and anywhere, and even perform space-time travel!
"He will eventually follow the path of human puppets. I originally planned to teach him the technology of human puppets. This is just the beginning. Your Self-Reincarnation Technique is not yet perfect. There are many flaws in its execution, and it is very difficult to learn. He will come to me in the future to ask for a more perfect Self-Reincarnation Technique. At that time, it will be enough for us to obtain the complete Corpse Escape Technique from him."

Sasori slowly walked to Chiyo's side, brushed past her, and headed towards Sunagakure: "I've thought of what you're thinking of too. Whatever he wants to do, he has to achieve one thing—controlling corpses with completely different physical characteristics and making them perform this S-rank forbidden technique. Is that even possible?"

According to Chiyo and Sasori's estimates, even if Kaedeji exhausted all his resources, he could only teach one or two zombies the Reincarnation Technique at most. They never imagined that Kaedeji wanted all the zombies to learn it.

Corpses are not puppets after all. While there are many unknown secrets about corpse escape, it is not reasonable to think that it is so outrageous. It is impossible for Kaedeji to have mastered it and all the corpses he controls to do so as well.
The principle of the Self-Rebirth Technique is completely different from that of the Void Realm Technique.

Chiyo watched Sasori's retreating figure and felt that her grandson was so unfamiliar, that he had completely changed.

"It's all that damned Hatake Sakumo's fault! If it weren't for you... this is not the end, it's just the beginning!!"

Chiyo gritted her teeth. This war was over, but there would be new wars in the future, and she would always have a chance to kill Hatake Sakumo.

Perhaps Sasori's deal with Kaede Tsukasa wasn't a bad thing; he could use the techniques he obtained from Konoha to perfect the human puppet, so that he could kill Hatake Sakumo in the future.

As for Kaedeji becoming even stronger... I can't worry about that now.

……

Kaede returned to the camp as if nothing had happened, greeting ninjas he knew and didn't know along the way; everyone was quite relaxed now.

After getting away from the crowd, he took a deep breath and opened the scroll.

"Finally... the crucial first step has been achieved. This is the most important and hardest piece of the puzzle to be obtained in all the subsequent plans, and it went even more smoothly than expected."

Kaede Tsukasa began to slowly work through this forbidden technique. It was not easy. The Reincarnation Technique was definitely at the level of an S-rank ninjutsu, and it was fully qualified to be included in the Book of Seals. The difficulty of learning it was off the charts.

Fortunately, Kaede Tsukasa may not have much chakra, but he has a strong learning ability.
