Rasa's lips curled into a smile. "Power, that's right, it's this power! Hahaha, Uchiha Kō, I now possess Chakra that is fundamentally different from yours!"
After speaking, Rasa hooked his right index finger, and a huge golden sword materialized, its tip pointing directly at Uchiha Kō. Uchiha Kō had originally thought it was some kind of incredibly powerful force.
The result is Natural Chakra!
Uchiha Kō closed his eyes, then opened them to activate Sage Mode! His skin was fair, adorned with purple facial markings, and he wore Golden Dragon Armor as he stared at Rasa.
No one understands Natural Chakra better than me! Uchiha Kō's lips curled up. Facing the golden blade, he neither dodged nor avoided it, but rushed forward. The Golden Dragon Armor Uchiha Kō the golden blade, but it shattered automatically in less than a second.
With a mocking smile, Uchiha Kō clapped his hands together and unleashed the "Sage Art: Nine Dragons Illuminate Heaven Art." Nine golden dragons flew towards Rasa then used Gold Dust wall to try and block them.
The result was that it shattered in less than a moment. Just as he was about to make a move, Uchiha Kō stretched out his right hand, Banshō Ten'in, Rasa was hit hard by the Nine Dragons Illuminate Heaven Art.
In the end, his arms and legs were blown off, turning him into a human pig. But he didn't panic or scream. Instead, the fleshy buds on his limbs wriggled and grew back in a short while.
Uchiha Kō raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Limb regeneration, huh? Interesting, very interesting!"
"Host, stop joking! They're already 50% done! If we don't find a way to break through soon, we're really going to die here!"
Without further hesitation, Uchiha Kō strode forward, Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan exclusive skill, "Soul-Shattering Nine Netherworlds!" Since he couldn't destroy Owl's physical body, he would destroy his soul!
Rasa was stunned as the scene before him changed drastically! By the time he realized it was Genjutsu, Uchiha Kō's hand was already on Rasa's arm.
In an instant Rasa's soul was pulled out and sent to the Nine Netherworld Hell, but the barrier did not break. Uchiha Kō couldn't help but think of Black Zetsu.
He looked at Rasa's body, and was about to act again when Black Zetsu took control of Rasa's body and struck Uchiha Kō's chest with his right hand.
Uchiha Kō coughed up blood and flew backward. He tried to give chase after him, but found himself unable to move.
However, in the next moment, Uchiha Kō Mangekyō Sharingan, releasing Rasa's soul and watching helplessly as Rasa's soul returned to his body.
Black Zetsu relinquished control of his body, Rasa breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed, "How about that? Uchiha Kō, you were just a second away from succeeding."
Uchiha Kō's eyes were dim, and he was being manipulated like a puppet. His soul was currently trapped in the sea of his mind by purple chains.
No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free of the restraints; he could only watch helplessly as he was controlled by Rasa.
Rasa patted his face and sighed, "The God of Shinobi isn't all that great, is he? I still managed to control him."
Black Zetsu's voice rang out. He no longer tried to hide it from Uchiha Kō, fearing he would be discovered. "Hehehe! Rasa, I told you so, didn't I? This Uchiha Kō has now completely become our puppet!"
Rasa nodded. "What's the next step?"
Black Zetsu said, "I'll act after I've consulted with Mother." He glanced at Uchiha Kō, drooling. What a great body, what a great puppet!
At this moment, Tsunade felt a sudden panic at home, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face. Strange, why was she suddenly like this?
She walked to Uchiha Kō's Shadow Clone, intending to touch his face, but the Shadow Clone vanished. Her expression changed drastically. Impossible, absolutely impossible.
How could this happen? There are only four possible reasons why Shadow Clone might disappear.
1. Suffered a severe attack. 2. Chakra exhausted. 3. The main body automatically deactivated. 4. The main body was killed.
The first two points are definitely not Tsunade understood. The main body automatically deactivates? Impossible! If Uchiha Kō wanted to deactivate it, why would he create it before leaving?
As for the fourth possibility, Tsunade dared not imagine it. At this moment, her breathing became labored due to intense panic, and her chest heaved continuously.
Tears streamed down her face; she was so heartbroken.
Uchiha Kō's Soul Communication System: "System, are you still there? How do we resolve this situation?"
The system asked, "Do you still remember the Substitute Death Puppet?"
Uchiha Kō nodded, of course he remembered the item given to him when the mission was issued.
The system says, "Next, I will activate the Substitute Death Puppet. The Substitute Death Puppet will switch places with you and take on all the skills you are currently suffering."
The Substitute Death Puppet is not just a passive tool; it can also be an active tool, but at a huge cost, such as system sleep.
"Now I'm handing over all the information I just received and the operating instructions for the system to you. This time, I might fall into a deep sleep, and the exact time I'll wake up is uncertain," the system said in a deep voice.
Uchiha Kō was silent for a moment, then nodded. "I understand. I'll wait for you to come back."
The system smiled slightly, first handing over the information and operating instructions to Uchiha Kō, and then using the Substitute Death Puppet.
In the villa
Tsunade's eyes reddened. She might have known what had happened to Uchiha Kō, but she couldn't believe that anyone in this world could still harm him.
Her tears fell onto the substitute puppet, and the next moment, the Substitute Death Puppet emitted a dazzling light. Tsunade saw this light and suddenly felt a sense of warmth.
Inside the barrier
Black Zetsu's expression changed drastically. "Rasa, act quickly! Gouge out Uchiha Kō's eyes! If you're not quick, he'll disappear!"
Rasa's heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to make a move, Uchiha Kō's Golden Scale Armor fell off and attacked Rasa.
Uchiha Kō was still in a daze, but a dazzling light burst forth from his body.
Black Zetsu gritted his teeth, choosing to ignore the risks and reach out for the eye. But in the next instant, Uchiha Kō's figure vanished!
Black Zetsu opened his palm, only to find that he was actually holding a doll!
It cried out in resentment, "So close! So close! I could have gouged out his eyes and used them to resurrect Mother!"
The Golden Scale Armor in front of Rasa vanished instantly. He coldly snorted, "Black Zetsu, I demand an explanation!"
Black Zetsu glanced at him and chuckled, "You don't naively think that Uchiha Kō has no backup plan, do you?"
If it weren't for the need to continue cooperating with Rasa, Black Zetsu would really like to have a Heart-Piercing Strike talk with him! A useless piece of trash who's good for nothing and good for making things worse!
He almost won MVP and Player of the Game with his Black Zetsu juggernaut, but he still fell short.
"Go back first, Rasa, there's still a battle to fight!" Black Zetsu said nothing and returned to Rasa's body. Originally, his mother (Heavenly Dao) promised him that after defeating Uchiha Kō, she would give him his body.
In the end, it was all for naught!
Suddenly, Uchiha Kō's soul broke free from its restraints and took control of his body. He opened his eyes, and Tsunade was the first thing he saw.
When Tsunade saw Uchiha Kō return, she hugged him tightly. "Honey! What happened? I thought... I thought..."
She was emotional and hugged Uchiha Kō tightly, as if afraid that Uchiha Kō in front of her would disappear.
Uchiha Kō snapped out of his daze and patted Tsunade's head.
"It's alright, it's alright, wife, I'm back. I'm sorry for making you worry." Uchiha Kō's eyes were also red. He originally thought no one could hurt him, but in the end, he almost died.
Everything he possessed would vanish into thin air, and this near-death experience taught Uchiha Kō many things.
However, at this moment, one of the two needed to be strong, so Uchiha Kō couldn't cry! He used his Natural Chakra to evaporate his tears.
"Honey, don't worry, I promise you I won't take any more risks. I'll tell you everything, okay?" Uchiha Kō said gently.
Seeing this, Tsunade stopped crying, but her small hand was still pounding on Uchiha Kō's chest.
Finally, with Uchiha Kō's comforting words, the two went to their room together, intending to simply go to sleep.
On the bed, Tsunade held Uchiha Kō tightly, afraid he would disappear, while Uchiha Kō received information and authority from the system.
"Ding, the system has detected that the host has survived a life-or-death ordeal. The system has intervened to save the host, and the system spirit has fallen into slumber."
"Initiating reception of System Spirit memories."
A figure appeared in Uchiha Kō's mind—the phantom of the System Spirit!
"Host, hello. You must be able to see me because you have already experienced an unprecedented calamity."
"I had expected this to happen sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly."
"I think the cause of all this is the Heavenly Dao." The system spirit had no physical appearance, only a phantom, but its voice was no different from that of a human.
"Host, first of all, I must apologize to you." The illusory figure bowed deeply.
"I actually took half of your points, but that half wasn't for my own enjoyment; it was used to store power."
"Storing power?" Uchiha Kō frowned upon hearing this. He had some suspicions about the system taking away his points, but he didn't ask, because most of his abilities were given to him by the system, and one should be grateful.
Because of this, Uchiha Kō did not expose him, but instead bargained with the system from time to time. Their relationship, though described as that of a system and its host, was more like that of family.
"That's right, store up power!" The system spirit nodded.
Uchiha Kō was taken aback. "You can hear me?"
"No, I just guessed what you'd say after seeing this video." The System Spirit extended its middle finger, making an international friendship gesture.
Uchiha Kō's lips twitched. Why did he feel that the system was so despicable?
The system spirit sneered, ignoring Uchiha Kō's reaction, and continued, "From the very beginning, you were bound to me. The moment you activated the system, we were already standing on the opposite side of the Heavenly Dao."
"To use the words from the novels you've read, Uchiha Kō, you are the Demon from Beyond the Heavens, and I am the weapon of the Demon from Beyond the Heavens."
