Zombie Sage in Naruto

Chapter 50 Zombies VS White Zetsu
Kaedeji's guess was accurate.

Madara wouldn't have interfered if anyone else had approached Nagato, but it was Kaede Tsukasa who came.

What would someone who can manipulate corpses, making them exert their strength and use their ninjutsu from their previous life think if they saw Nagato with the Rinnegan?
Of course, it was also because of Kaede Tsukasa's technique that Madara recalled the extremely disgusting Tobirama Senju, and thus had the intention to kill him.

Anyway, Madara has instructed White Zetsu to do similar things many times.

"To be honest, Nagato hasn't really grown up yet. He's been studying with Jiraiya for over two years, and his strength is at most enough to protect himself. He's not strong enough to become a powerful figure. That's precisely the time when he needs to be carefully protected."

Kaede Tsukasa moved quickly with his three subordinates, his gaze already passing over the zombies and landing on Shiro.

He was originally planning how to join Danzo and Orochimaru's human experimentation project under certain circumstances, so as to come into contact with Hashirama's cells.

But now there's no need to worry. Leukocytes are at least a lower-quality version of interstitial cells, possessing many of the characteristics of interstitial cells, so you can use them with complete peace of mind.

"This is a really good opportunity. Although it has attracted Madara's attention and created unnecessary risks, it is worth it."

Kaede Tsukasa's body was bathed in the cold rain, but he felt no discomfort. As his heart burned with heat, his muscles tensed up involuntarily, and the heat emanating from within dissipated visibly.

……

White Zetsu's true form arrived, leading a group of subordinates who were staring at the zombies in front of him.

"It can move, it can execute commands, and it stopped immediately upon discovering me, preparing for battle... Is this really something that can be controlled by remote spells? Or is this the spontaneous action of these corpses?"

No matter how wildly White Zetsu's thoughts wandered, he realized that something was wrong with these corpses—if they really possessed certain instincts, were these corpses truly corpses?
Is it alive or dead?

"Hey~ Do you guys poop? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Bai Jue stretched out a hand, moving a few fingers as if he were truly controlling puppets: "Once I capture you, I'll question you one by one, and I'll definitely find out... If I kill you who are already dead, will you still die? Will you be resurrected after you die?"

Several White Zetsu sped up and charged towards the zombies.

In silence, the zombies simultaneously launched their attack, charging head-on towards the White Zetsu.

To some extent, this is a battle between two completely different puppets, neither of which is afraid of death, only determined to complete the mission at all costs.

In an instant, a dozen figures collided in the rain. All the sounds of battle were swallowed up by the terrible sound of raindrops. The extremely cruel and bloody killing, the tragic scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere, all flowed away with the rain.

During the battle, several zombies joined forces to use water escape techniques, taking advantage of the weather conditions to achieve even greater results, and swept away several White Zetsu on the spot.

"Oh my? I've heard about this from other White Zetsu, but seeing it with my own eyes still startled me. He can actually use the ninjutsu he used in his previous life? No wonder Lord Madara wanted to kill Kaede Tsukasa."

Bai Jue muttered to himself.

At the same time, in a distant puddle, something as thin as a shadow was quietly wriggling, observing this unusual battle with equal astonishment.

White Zetsu was all too familiar to it; it was nothing more than a combat weapon that its mother had modified from the native humans of this planet.

But what about these corpses?

"Manipulating corpses to fight, this technique is really interesting, but the caster is about to die." Black Zetsu cared about Nagato's safety more than anyone else. Madara could die, but Nagato could not; if Nagato had to die, at the very least he would take the Rinnegan with him!

As long as there is the Rinnegan and the Ten-Tails, there is a chance to free the mother. It has waited for more than a thousand years and finally has this opportunity. It will not allow any accidents to happen.

"Wait a little longer. Now is not the time for me to show myself. I need to find a suitable opportunity." Black Zetsu retreated back into the puddle and pretended to be dead.

As time went by, the number of figures decreased, and both sides fell one after another.

Bai Jue personally pierced a zombie's chest, then chopped off its head with his forearm, and stomped on it, crushing the head.

"This is really troublesome. There's no way to stop these corpses without destroying their heads. This technique is very powerful."

Bai Jue looked around, intending to pick up a zombie whose mobility had been destroyed but whose head was still intact, and take it back with him.

"Even in this state, you still intend to bite me?" Bai Jue looked at the zombie's bared teeth in surprise, as if he had discovered a special toy, and immediately became overjoyed.

But he soon had to stop what he was doing because he discovered that even more zombies had arrived.

White Zetsu is least afraid of a numbers battle, and immediately summoned more than ten White Zetsu.

A larger-scale battle broke out between the two sides, and the situation became increasingly fierce. The White Zetsu had extremely strong vitality, and some injuries were nothing to them. The zombies were equally indifferent to injuries, and often preferred to exchange injuries for injuries.

Various ninjutsu techniques erupted continuously, causing the ground to tremble slightly. Figures fell one after another, but new figures joined in.

Finally, after losing twenty-seven White Zetsu, and attempting to take advantage of the chaos to fall to the ground and disguise themselves as zombies, only to be killed by the zombies immediately, the White Zetsu could no longer hold on.

Madara only recently created White Zetsu, and there are still less than a hundred of them in total. They need to be scattered throughout the ninja world to gather intelligence, so he can't just waste them like this.

"He can actually see through my disguise! This level of perception is too much! If we continue fighting like this, the losses will be too great. I'll be killed by Lord Madara! Just how many corpses does this guy have in his stash...?"

Bai Jue held his head in his hands, his face filled with disbelief.

"Rather than you killing me, I'd rather kill you. I came here of my own accord. I really want to see with my own eyes what's going on with you guys who look exactly alike, that you can fight my zombies like this."

Kaede Tsukasa appeared on the battlefield with three Root ninjas.

The three Root ninjas quickly surveyed the haphazardly scattered figures on the ground, focusing particularly on the White Zetsu that looked exactly like them, their expressions filled with confusion.

"What are these white things? Some kind of ninjutsu? Why are they stopping us from finding Lord Jiraiya?"

"Perhaps it's a splitting technique similar to the Second Tsuchikage's, splitting off many versions of oneself from a single body."

Root ninjas possess excellent intelligence analysis skills, and their first reaction is to try to analyze the enemy's techniques.

Komatsu asked, "Lord Kaedeji, you've already fought these guys. Who are they?"

"This is not important to you at all. You may not realize that when you see these things, your fate is to die here. This is a sacrifice you must make for the future," Kaedeji said slowly.
