Zombie Sage in Naruto

Chapter 51 Corpse Escape consumes mana? Activate it!

These three Root ninjas must die.

Not only will Bai Jue not let these three guys go, but Kaede Tsukasa also has to get rid of them now.

"Lord Kaedeji, what do you mean by this?" Komatsufuji raised his weapon.

"It means exactly what it says, you must die."

"Just because of these white things? It seems you know their origins very well, and that there is information in them that I absolutely cannot know. You even want to silence anyone who sees these guys."

Komatsufuji wasn't shocked or afraid; he didn't feel that way at all. He was simply gathering information.

These white objects, which look exactly like split bodies, appear to be composed entirely of white lumps of flesh, with no blood or internal organs in the wounds of those who have died on the ground.

Kaede Tsukasa formed a hand seal and slowly said, "I'm sorry, the three of you. I have no hatred between us. It's just that you've had really bad luck... In fact, I don't like people leaking information about my side. What you're seeing now has indeed exceeded my tolerance limit."

The three Root ninjas certainly wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. They were merely following Kaedeji's orders, but when it came to Kaedeji telling them to die, they wouldn't obey.

"You two stay here and hold him off at all costs. I'll find a chance to break through and report this valuable intelligence to Lord Danzo," Komatsu said coldly, his gaze sweeping across the ground, intending to seize some of the fragments of the dead White Zetsu's body.

For Kaedeji to suddenly turn on them and silence them, these white things must possess significant value.

Without the slightest hesitation, the other two Root ninjas immediately stood in front of Komatsu, ready to launch an attack.

The tactics were already planned: use a large number of ninja tools to confuse Kaede Tsukasa's vision, and take the opportunity to use ninjutsu to kill a few nearby zombies. All they needed to do was create a brief gap.

Komatsu Fujii will use this weather condition to quickly conceal himself and escape back to Konoha Village.

"How naive! You really think that what I said to you before I left was just something I brought up out of boredom?"

Corpse Escape: Corpse Transformation Technique!

In an instant, the three Root ninjas felt their bodies stiffen, their internal organs undergo drastic changes, their muscles begin to ache and go numb, and every nerve in their bodies seems to be buzzing.

They were losing control of their bodies, and they could clearly feel their life force rapidly slipping away. Their once vibrant flesh and blood had become cold and lifeless.

"What did you do? When did this happen?" Komatsu Fujii felt the changes in himself and couldn't figure out no matter how hard he tried. He couldn't understand when they had been attacked!

Kaede Tsukasa said, "Don't worry about these things anymore. If this hadn't happened, you would never have realized that you had fallen under my spell."

The three Root ninjas were thus captured. Under Kaede Tsukasa's reckless and violent consumption of chakra, the zombie virus that was already stored in their bodies accelerated its transformation, eroding healthy cells at an exponential rate.

This was also the first time that Kaede Tsukasa had recklessly expended his chakra to forcibly transform multiple living people into complete zombies. It must be said that only at this moment could he truly appreciate the powerful contagiousness of the zombie virus.

There's no way around it. It's not that the zombie virus he brought is ineffective. Under normal circumstances, a single scratch can turn an Earthling into a zombie within ten minutes, making it undoubtedly a super-powerful virus. However, in the ninja world where everyone has superhuman physical abilities, a virus of this caliber would be far less effective if it spreads spontaneously.

Fortunately, this is a world with extraordinary powers. Using supernatural energy like chakra to stimulate the potential of the zombie virus is enough to rapidly increase its power. "Logically speaking, as long as I don't face those with special bloodlines, I can carefully and secretly cast spells on ordinary ninjas beforehand to spread the virus in various parts of their bodies. When necessary, I can detonate them all, multiplying the virus in large quantities, and use this as a surprise attack method."

Unfortunately, this method may not work for everyone. It requires acting in secret, which is time-consuming, and if it's used against someone with special sensory abilities, it might be discovered.

Most importantly, it consumes too much chakra.

After a high-intensity journey, commanding numerous zombies from a distance, battling White Zetsu, and finally transforming these three in one go, Kaede Tsukasa had almost exhausted his stored life force and began to pant.

"Oh dear, I think I see you panting heavily. Are you tired? Turning these three subordinates into corpses under your control must take a lot of chakra, huh?"

Although White Zetsu found the secret technique very interesting, he has now lost interest—accumulating these dozens of zombies is probably the result of Kaede Tsukasa's hard work over a very long time.
Now, after a fierce battle, they've lost most of their strength and have no choice but to expend their chakra to deal with three living people?

White Zetsu naturally assumed that Kaedeji Tsukasa was out of options.

"But now that you've exhausted your chakra, how much room for resistance do you have against my attack? Are you relying on these corpses to protect you?"

Bai Jue grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth: "I'm not interested in you anymore, and I'm not interested in your corpse either."

Swish!
Four White Zetsu launched a siege on Kaede Tsukasa, while other White Zetsu attacked the surrounding zombies, creating an opportunity to kill Kaede Tsukasa.

Some White Zetsu simply stuck to the zombies, absorbing their chakra in preparation for using the zombies' ninjutsu—this was one of the White Zetsu's attack methods, and it was very effective against normal ninjas.

Kaedeji's expression remained unchanged as he slapped the ground.

"Psychic art!"

A total of five coffins emerged from the ground in front of Kaede Tsukasa, blocking the White Zetsu's attack path.

"A coffin? Haven't you always used summoning scrolls to summon corpses?" White Zetsu's true form stood at a distance, not taking action herself, but speaking with a grin.

Kaede Tsukasa said, "Using the lowest quality spirit scroll as a container is ultimately just the most basic storage method. For some usable zombies, I still prefer this more ritualistic storage method."

One by one, the coffin lids were lifted, and five zombies, led by Sandstorm Wildwood, emerged.

But this is only the beginning.

Kaede once again unleashed the summoning scroll, and more "corpse" characters protruded, with thirty zombies emerging in a flurry. To Bai Jue's astonishment, they lined up neatly around Kaede, completely surrounding him.

"Also, I actually really dislike your behavior of absorbing chakra, because the chakra you stole essentially belongs to me."

Kaede Tsukasa spread his arms, instructing the thirty zombies to simultaneously form hand seals. The time had finally come when he had to use that forbidden technique once again.
