Battle, Chapter Four

Before he could finish speaking, a vast, abyss-like gravitational force enveloped Katsuki's figure, pulling his body downwards.

"What the hell?"

The sudden burst of gravity was exceptionally strong; caught off guard, he tumbled and plummeted from the top of the Mud Golem.

With his eyes wide open and his pupil power enhanced to the extreme, the distance of a hundred meters instantly shrank as if it were right in front of him.

A large, orange-red urn was placed on the ground. Asura Path pressed one hand on the urn, looked up at the sky, and saw the shadow of the falling Katsuki Rinnegan. Suddenly, a smile that looked extremely incongruous and ugly appeared on his solemn and old face.

"... Hiss, this thing... Amber Purifying Pot? Using something like this against me, that's quite an idea!"

His body plummeted rapidly, the suction force emanating from the Amber Purifying Pot was exceptionally strong. He was suspended in mid-air, neither touching the sky nor the ground, with nowhere to pull himself up. Even if he wanted to resist this suction force, he had no way to do so... He'd better save his trump card for later when dealing with Madara Uchiha and Kaguya Otsutsuki!

Katsuki's thoughts raced like lightning, with hundreds of ideas swirling in her mind in an instant.

"Let me see what's so special about this Amber Purifying Pot! A treasure left behind by the Sage of Six Paths..."

While he was pondering, he was already only five or six meters away from the Amber Purifying Pot. Under the influence of a strange force, Katsuki found that his body had shrunk, or rather, the world in front of him had magnified. By the time he entered the Amber Purifying Pot, the Asura Path standing next to him was clearly a giant.

As for the wooden figures and the collapsing Mud Golem, they are two towering mountains that reach for the sky and soar into the clouds.

"That's interesting!"

The last sound was cut off by the bang of the Amber Purifying Pot's lid.

Katsuki was completely immersed in the Amber Purifying Pot.

Asura Path covered the Amber Purifying Pot with his hands, pressing them tightly against the lid as if afraid that Katsuki might escape from inside.

"Wow, did that monster get inside?"

Deidara rode up on his giant bird, circling in the air, his eyes full of curiosity as he looked at the Amber Purifying Pot under the Asura Path's command.

"Um!"

Asura Path a succinct reply, pressing his hands firmly against the lid, not daring to relax.

Although, according to the records of the Cloud Ninja, the Amber Purifying Pot left behind by the Sage of Six Paths is very reliable, and Cloud Ninja Uzumaki Katsuki has never had any problems using it to seal the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails, but... Uzumaki Mizuki is a monster even more monstrous than the Tailed Beast.

The Asura Path has no intention of letting go, at least not until its main body officially launches the Moon Eye Plan.

"What's next? We've got the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the calamity of Konoha has been captured."

Kakuzu carried Hidan, whose brain had not yet been repaired, and walked over. He glanced at the Amber Purifying Pot and then stopped paying attention to it, instead staring at Tendo who was walking over. Senju Zen was gone, Uchiha Genso was dead, and the one in charge had become this clone of Senju Zen.

But this is the Third Mizukage!

Looking at Tendo's expression, Kakuzu's eyes gleamed with greed. If he were to sell the Third Mizukage's corpse to the black market, it would be an enormous sum of money!

Speaking of which, the six clones of the Senju Zen master, along with himself, are all worth a fortune. The combined bounty on the black market would be enough to scare a person to death.

Of course, since the Kumogakure was destroyed by the two big shots, Senju Zen and Uchiha Genso, the black market also became sluggish. After all, without a powerful backer, it's a miracle that the black market hasn't collapsed.

"Next, we'll attack Konoha."

With a wave of his hand, Tiandao spoke casually.

Extracting the Nine-Tails is sufficient with just the main body and Zetsu working together. With One-Tail to Eight-Tails already in hand, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path already possesses the ability to devour the Nine-Tails.

With Uzumaki Katsuki, a thorn in their side, trapped, this was the perfect opportunity to weaken Konoha and prevent them from sabotaging the extraction of Konoha Nine-Tails. Although extracting the Nine-Tails was simpler than extracting other Tailed Beast, it still took time.

Offense is the best defense.

Deep down, he also harbored the desire to fulfill Uchiha Genso's wish: to destroy Konoha.

"One of my hearts was destroyed by the Konoha Disaster, so I can use the hearts of Konoha Ninja to replace it."

A glint flashed in Kakuzu's emerald green eyes. Konoha has quite a few big fish with extremely high bounties! He might be able to make a killing while replenishing his heart supply.

"Let's get ready to fight!"

The Heavenly Dao Hand Seals and cast the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu.

One after another, coffins rose from the ground, numbering about five or six hundred, standing in a forest on the field cleared by the battle. This was a forest of the dead who had returned from the underworld.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The coffin lids kept opening, and one after another, mindless reincarnated beings emerged, their intense killing intent filling every inch of space.

"How terrifying! These... were all important figures in life!"

Kisame Hoshigaki licked his lips, his shark-like face beaming with excitement.

Tobirama Senju, Hanzō, Gold and Silver Brothers, Sasori of the Red Sands, the Second Tsuchikage, the Second Mizukage, the Third Raikage, the Fourth Raikage, the first Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Blue B, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B, and other masters from various ninja villages are all historically renowned strongmen.

There's even a First Hokage standing on top of the wooden figure next to it!

This lineup is absolutely luxurious!

"Hey, this kind of momentum could destroy the entire Shinobi World!"

It was Deidara who spoke, riding his giant bird and circling in the air, looking down at the rows of moving corpses below, which made him feel a chill run down his spine.

That's absolutely terrifying.

"Konoha is ready to fight back. Let's crush Konoha head-on and overthrow this corrupt world." The Heavenly Dao swung his right hand down sharply, and the hundreds of living corpses began to move. Their steps were initially very unsteady, but they quickly regained their agility, although their eyes still had no luster.

The wooden figure also moved, taking long strides forward, each step covering a great distance, causing the earth to tremble with a rumbling sound.

"You should go too!"

The Deva Path Clone pointed south, which is the direction of Konoha.

Deidara curled his lip, and the giant bird beneath his feet flapped its wings, leaping out and leaving a trail of white streaks in the dark, cloud-covered sky.

"That reckless fool isn't afraid of getting struck by lightning?"

Kisame Hoshigaki chuckled and started walking, following behind the horde of zombies as they headed towards Konoha.

Kakuzu glanced at Hidan, whose head was still not fixed, and then disgustedly tossed him at Pain's feet before rushing over.

"Genso ..." Tiandao looked at the Impure World Reincarnation Legion, hesitated for a moment, took out a scroll, took out the body of a White Zetsu from it, and then took out a glass tube filled with deep red blood.

He smeared blood on the blank space in the center of the scroll covered with runes and began to cast the spell.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu"

Endless dust, like ashes rising from hell, enveloped White Zetsu, causing his face to contort and shift before settling into a state of chilling killing intent in his crimson eyes.

It was none other than Uchiha Genso, whom Katsuki had previously killed. (To be continued)
