Kakashi's Death!

Blessed by Lady Luck, the fusion of bloodline power required no sorcerer whatsoever; the fusion of bloodline power began the Yemo lay in the red liquid.

Yemo could feel a mysterious power surging into his body from the red liquid covering him, and the blood flowing within him became abnormally turbulent with the addition of this power.

If Yemo's eyes could magnify objects hundreds of times, he would be able to discover that within the red liquid, a trace of inexplicable power entered Yemo's Yemo through the capillaries all over his body. This power was the bloodline power extracted from the sacrifice of tens of thousands of the Uzumaki Clan.

When this bloodline power, comparable to that of Asura Ōtsutsuki, the ancestor of the Uzumaki Clan, entered Yemo's body, the blood within Yemo's body was almost instantly activated, and the blood in his blood vessels flowed at high speed as if expressing joy.

Within Yemo's blood vessels, these mysterious bloodline powers are devouring and replacing his blood; this is happening in every single one of Yemo 'Yemo blood vessels.

Not only the blood, but also the bones in Yemo's body were being transformed. This mysterious force tore open small openings in Yemo's Yemo and poured into every single bone.

Every second, Yemo's blood and bones were being destroyed, yet every second they were being reborn. This was a nirvana of life, a rebirth from destruction. Only then could Yemo undergo a fundamental change from the inside out. For Yemo, this was not only a nirvana but also a rebirth.

However, this process was extremely painful for Yemo. His bones, blood vessels, and every muscle in his body were torn apart, and the pain of being reborn was several times worse than being cut into pieces.

Almost instantly, Yemo's mind was overwhelmed by a surge of pain. The excruciating pain throughout his body, coupled with the feeling that his head was about to explode, caused Yemo to faint at the very beginning. Nothing can endure the pain of being destroyed all over one's body. No amount of willpower is useful. If you could really do that, you wouldn't be human but a god. Yemo was also human. He was no different from ordinary people. The only difference was that he had the title of genius. But it is undeniable that he was also made of flesh and blood. He also felt pain. He was not a monster like White Zetsu who was without pain.

After losing consciousness, Yemo's consciousness was plunged into a dark space, devoid of any light or figure, utterly silent. Yemo kept running, but to his astonishment, he couldn't hear his own footsteps, as if no sound existed in this dark space.

Running, Yemo kept running, when suddenly he lost his footing and fell straight down. The surrounding scenery suddenly changed as he fell, and the darkness disappeared like a tide, replaced by white clouds floating around him. Only then did Yemo realize that he had actually fallen from a height of tens of thousands of meters.

Yemo had no idea where he was. He fell freely into a white cloud. When he passed through the cloud, he saw a giant tree. Before he could see what the tree was, it transformed into a gigantic monster hundreds of meters tall. This monster ravaged the earth, causing mountains to collapse and the ground to crack wherever it went.

At this moment, two people appeared to block the monster, and another person appeared and stood with the monster. The two sides fought for an unknown period of time, and finally the two joined forces to seal the monster and the other person together.

Numerous scenes flashed past him like lightning. Yemo only caught a glimpse of each scene before they sped by. The tides rose and fell, the sun set and sank, Yemo continued his free fall from the sky, yet dozens of nights flew by.

Just as Yemo was about to fall to the ground, the scene before him shifted, and he returned to that dark, silent, and inexplicable space.

As Yemo underwent the fusion and transformation of bloodline power, time outside did not stop. Black Zetsu Yemo stealing the bloodline power he had been plotting for many years, was naturally furious.

Just as Kakashi was about to use his Body Flicker Technique to get to the flower bud, he quickly threw two Kunai at Black Zetsu's feet, stopping him from taking another step. Black Zetsu slowly turned around to look at Yemo behind him and said coldly, "You want to stop me?"

After recovering, Kakashi's Chakra had mostly returned. He looked up and met Black Zetsu's murderous gaze, saying firmly, "I'm just buying time for my comrades. If you want to stop him, you'll have to get over me first."

Even though Yemo and Kakashi often bicker and never let each other off the hook, their relationship has become unbreakable after going through a series of events. It's a relationship where they would entrust their backs to each other. If the two were in each other's shoes, Yemo would definitely stand up to stop Black Zetsu, even though he knew he was no match for Black Zetsu. Kakashi would never doubt that.

With a cold snort, Black Zetsu said disdainfully, "Young in years, but arrogant in tone. I'm currently seething with anger, so let you bear the brunt of my rage."

In Black Zetsu's view, dealing with this brat was a matter of a flick of the wrist, and wouldn't take much time. Moreover, he was currently so angry that he desperately needed someone to vent his anger on.

Kakashi didn't speak, but the raised Kunai represented his best answer: to fight.

Instant!

Black Zetsu used a Body Flicker Technique to instantly appear in front of Kakashi, covering a distance of over ten meters. Kakashi, who could barely make out a blurry afterimage, reacted quickly and shot Kunai forward. The best defense is offense.

But Black Zetsu was too strong. He closed his two fingers together and struck in the blink of an eye. With two crisp, scraping sounds, Black Zetsu easily flicked away the Kunai Kakashi had shot out with his fingers.

"You're too weak!" Black Zetsu shook his head and said.

Before the words had even finished, Black Zetsu lightly stepped forward, covering several meters to approach Yemo, who was retreating rapidly. He then swept out a kick, seemingly slow, but in reality, incredibly fast.

All he could see was a black shadow flying past. The next second, Black Zetsu's right foot had already struck Kakashi, like being hit by a car traveling at high speed.

With a "pfft, "Kakashi spat out a large amount of blood, and his entire body flew out like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto a pile of rubble with a loud bang, sending countless pieces of rock flying.

Black Zetsu gently withdrew his leg, glanced at Kakashi lying injured in the rubble, and said disdainfully, "I thought Konoha's geniuses were something special, but that's all they've got. You're no longer of interest to me. Die!"

As he spoke, Black Zetsu slowly raised his right hand. When he finished speaking, Black Zetsu's raised arm sent out logs flying towards Yemo.

Kakashi was naturally startled to see that his opponent could use Wood Release. He knew that Wood Release had disappeared from the world since the death of the First Hokage, and even the Senju Clan had not been able to learn it. However, the battle did not give Kakashi much time to think.

Four logs pierced through Kakashi's body with a whoosh, but Kakashi actually smiled despite being pierced. Black Zetsu immediately sensed something was wrong. Kakashi, who had been pierced, turned into white smoke with a bang. It turned out that this was just Kakashi's Shadow Clone.

Lightning Release: Chidori!

Black Zetsu turned around and saw that Kakashi had somehow sneaked up behind Black Zetsu. Kakashi leaped over, lightning crackling on his right hand, making a crackling sound like a thousand birds chirping. It was because of this peculiar sound that this Ninjutsu was named Chidori.

Kakashi dashed forward, his Chidori Chakra into a high-intensity electric current in his hand, possessing extremely strong penetrating power and lethality. However, this Ninjutsu has a fundamental requirement: it requires an extremely high-speed dash to unleash its maximum power.

As Kakashi closed in, Black Zetsu clenched his right fist. The next second, lightning flashed, and a large amount of high-intensity electricity formed on Black Zetsu's fist.

The instant Kakashi thrust out, Black Zetsu also raised his fist and slammed it out. The punch and the thrust were like two blinding bolts of lightning that streaked through the air before colliding intimately.

A blinding white light shot out, brighter than the sun. The next second, a huge explosion rang out, and hundreds of bolts of lightning flashed. The area several meters in front of the two seemed to turn into a sea of lightning, and the ground beneath their feet collapsed inch by inch. The high-intensity current enveloped the two of them.

Amidst flashes of lightning, Kakashi was suddenly sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. This was no longer Shadow Clone, but the real Kakashi, and the blood was real too. Kakashi's face immediately turned deathly pale.

That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Kakashi was no match for the opponent's Lightning Release in the previous clash, and now his whole body is paralyzed by electricity, which means he has lost his ability to move. Losing the ability to move in battle is no different from courting death.

"Damn it!" Kakashi tried several times, but couldn't get up from the ground.

No matter what, Kakashi's mastery of Lightning Release surpasses that of someone who has lived for over a thousand years. Of course, Kakashi's attack wasn't entirely ineffective; Black Zetsu was knocked back several steps, leaving seven charred footprints on the ground. The reason the footprints were charred was because high-intensity electricity had flowed into the earth through Black Zetsu.

After their brief exchange, Black Zetsu had already abandoned his contempt for Kakashi. He walked towards Kakashi step by step, saying, "To achieve what you did at such a young age, you are indeed a genius. But I've lived too long, and I've seen countless geniuses. Some of them were even more talented than you and that brat from the Uzumaki Clan, but none of them survived to the end. Do you know what I mean? This world is never short of geniuses, but geniuses who can't survive are nothing. Only living geniuses can shine brightly, and you clearly belong to the former."

Just as Black Zetsu finished speaking the last word, Black Zetsu stopped and gently raised his right hand. A wooden spear appeared in his palm, and Black Zetsu it high, pointing it directly at Kakashi's chest.

As the spear slowly descended from above, Kakashi gave up resisting. He knew he was really going to die now, so what was the point of struggling? He wasn't afraid of death; a ninja must be prepared to die when carrying out a mission. But he was worried about Yemo.

"I'm sorry, Yemo, I tried my best, but I'm no match for this guy... Perhaps, going to that Pure Land is a better choice for me. Goodbye, my friend..."
