Kakuzu?
Naruto knew this person. He was the rebel of the Hidden River Village, the one who controlled the forbidden technique, the resentful ghost. He was an old man who had lived for many years.
And then he died.
When almost all of Akatsuki's members were sent to pick him up to join Akatsuki, in the battle between Akatsuki and Konohagakure, Kakuzu was killed by the undying Uchiha Kazue.
"Don't tie me with the same trash. Let's worry about ourselves first. My father is about to go crazy from anger." Naruto said coldly.
The two of them looked at Minato, who was about to charge at them again.
Minato's Corpse Ghost Sealing Technique was only missing the last seal. As long as it was sealed, death would inevitably appear. Considering Minato's elusive speed, if he really went crazy, it was really possible to take the two of them away one by one.
"What is he going to do?"
"The Corpse Ghost seal."
"Tsk, the legendary top level sealing technique that summons death. I don't want to die in this way."
As they spoke, the three of them clashed several times.
Naruto forced himself to raise his tired spirit. He mobilized Thousand Hand Buddha statue, Wood Golem, and Wood Dragon, working hard to entangle Minato. Hiruko was also activating the Scorching Release and White Extreme Arts.
However, they were unable to truly harm Minato.
Swish swish swish!
After several flashes, Minato jumped onto thousand hand Buddha statue, leaving spatial coordinates in different places.
Hiruko was really anxious. "Retreat. He left a lot of coordinates in many places. The longer this drags, the more coordinates he make. It is really possible to drag us to die together!"
He had just obtained the corpse of the big toad Sage. How could he be willing to die here?
Naruto nodded decisively. He turned around immediately and split out a dozen wooden clones, fleeing in different directions.
Hiruko looked at the decisive Naruto and secretly cursed the cunning little brat. He also chose to run for his life and used the power of quick escape to the extreme.
Dozens of figures rushed in different directions.
However,
Naruto relied on Kyubi, Hiruko relied on Sage Mode. Both of them had extremely strong perception and could sense the whereabouts of Minato.
This scattered escape forced Minato to the point that he had no choice but to hastily chase after them. He only killed a few of Naruto's wooden clones.
By the time Minato turned his head to chase after the other Naruto, it was already too late.
Minato's speed was essentially a spatial travel that relied on coordinates, not true movement speed. In a matter of random pursuit, the effect of Minato, who had not spread his coordinates in advance, was limited.
Not to mention, every single Naruto's wooden clone was trying to stall for time after being caught by Minato. Even delaying for a few seconds was a profit.
"Did he escape...?"
Minato stood on the head of Thousand Hand Buddha statue, looking down at the earth below him in confusion.
Looking around, it was a mess, full of apocalyptic scene.
Mount Myouboku was gone, and most of the toads were killed by Naruto. This holy land could be said to have collapsed, becoming a brother of disaster who was on par with Ryuuchi Cave.
Minato stared blankly at the scene in front of him, one hand still maintaining the posture of forming seals.
In the end, he did not even have the chance to die together with his enemy. Naruto and Hiruko were both wary of him pulling closer to cast spells.
Minato looked lonely, numbly creating a shadow clone, and immediately dissolved it with a bang.
The shadow clone left behind by Konoha immediately knew what had happened, and used the psychic ability to call Minato back to Konohagakure.
Minato weakly sat in the Hokage's seat and did not speak for a long time.
When Jiraiya, Yuuji, and the others came in, the light in Minato's office was dim.
Jiraiya's voice was dry. "I know what happened from the communication frog. At least some toads are still alive. Shima are also alive. They will strengthen the strength of the village."
"Jiraiya Sensei, you know that I am not concerned about this..." Minato was in great pain.
Jiraiya was also very sad. "It has already happened. All we can do is try our best to remedy it."
"Admit it, Naruto's rate of growth has far exceeded our expectations. How long has it been since he was able to achieve this? Kyubi seems to be doing his best to help him." Yuuji said.
Minato explained, "I wanted to seal Naruto with the Corpse Ghost to make up for my mistake, but he was very alert and did not give me a chance."
"He should be on guard. Although the Corpse Ghost Seal is powerful, its drawbacks are also obvious. It needs to be pulled into the distance and touch the enemy. But if there is such an opportunity, it means that even without the Corpse Ghost Seal, it can also hurt the enemy. As long as the enemy does not have the ability to resurrect, it is not far from death to be forced into this situation." Yuuji said.
He was very appreciative of the final effect of this technique, but other than the final result, this technique was really nothing worthy of praise. The restrictions were too great.
The Corpse Ghost Seal was amazing, but it seemed to be a cheat. It could summon the Death God, and with the power of the Death God, the Death God's hand reached out from the belly of the caster, grabbed and swallowed the soul of the enemy.
The first was when Kyubi was sealed, and the second was when Sandaime Hokage sealed the first generation, second generation, and Orochimaru's hands in one breath.
In these two cases, there were two things in common.
The first was that the enemies the caster faced were all "immortal", and their reactions were "slow". The caster had the opportunity to get close to the enemy again and again to cause damage, which gave the caster the opportunity to get close to the enemy and make physical contact.
The second was that the caster lacked a powerful ninjutsu that could be used in one strike.
Minato had no way to deal with Kyubi. If it was the 16 year old Sage, Naruto, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and Sage Art - Ultra Big Ball Rasengan, they would be able to beat Kyubi to the point where he had no resistance at all. In addition, Kushina's Seal assisted him in taking away Kyubi's chakra. If it was Madara or Hashirama, there was no need to mention that one big move could kill Kyubi alive and force him to enter the resurrection stage.
The strongest tactic that Sarutobi had mastered was nothing more than the five successive bullets. However, he was already unable to use this technique when he was old, and he had no way to forcibly destroy the first and second generation impure world reincarnation. He took the opportunity to kill Orochimaru when the two ninjas were repairing their bodies.
In the end, they could only use the Corpse Ghost to kill the enemies that were easy to touch.
The Corpse Ghost seal, the effect was amazing. yet It has a huge problem, and it was not worth relying on.
In any case, Yuuji had the confidence to ignore this technique. When it comes to the control over the soul, he doesn't believe that a monster like Death God can compete with his Rinnegan and Tenseigan.
He don't even believe that this god of death can drag away the planet Godzilla like half the Kyubi.
"Let the news out. It can't be hidden." Minato let out a long sigh, feeling that he had failed very much.
Not long after, the news of Mount Myouboku being destroyed spread like the wind throughout Ninja World.
Moreover, it was destroyed by the two [S] class rebel ninja of Konoha !
This was explosive news.
Naruto was the son of Yondaime, and Hiruko was the close friend of Yondaime's Sensei Jiraiya!
As for Mount Myouboku, they had always been very close to Konoha. As an ancient holy land that controlled Senjutsu, they was willing to send their own clansmen to fight for Konoha.
Now that Mount Myouboku was gone, It was still killed by Konoha's own people.
For a time, after the other Great Ninja Villages heard the news, they did not know whether they should be worried or gloat.
Naruto and Hiruko were already so strong? Especially Naruto, his growth speed was too fast!
The stronger Akatsuki was, the greater the pressure the Great Ninja Village faced. Other than Konoha, the other villages had no way of fighting Akatsuki.
Amegakure.
Hiruko officially began the fusion ceremony.
Nagato watched this scene with a cold expression. His appearance was not only to observe Chimera Technique's upper limit, but also to warn the others in the organization not to take the opportunity to destroy the ceremony.
Hiruko had invited Nagato to protect him.
In these years, although Nagato has been defeated repeatedly, his strength and character are unquestionable. Heliuhu thought, if he really wants to choose someone from the Akatsuki organization that he can barely trust, he has to be arrogant and never bother to use conspiracy method. Nagato is fairly reliable.
"You put in so much effort to kill Mount Myouboku just for this old and ugly big toad?" Nagato said with disdain.
Just this?
The legendary toad Sage, just this?
Hiruko carefully placed the corpse of the big toad Sage on the ground. Hearing this, he laughed strangely, "Chief, don't underestimate it. It is said that it guided Rikudou Sennin to save Ninja World back then."
"Oh?"
Nagato raised his eyebrows and immediately became interested.
The other members of the organization had strange thoughts. At this time, their attention was also attracted.
There was such a thing?
It was just a toad, yet it was actually so ancient, and it even had an impact on Rikudou Sennin?
"I'm not too sure about the specifics. After all, that was a thousand years ago. If not for the fact that Otsutsuki's clansmen were constantly killed and the history of Otsutsuki clan was slowly dug out by us, we would still think that Rikudou Sennin was just a legend, right?" Hiruko stood in front of the corpse and took off his shirt.
Everyone nodded. That was indeed the case.
Who would have thought that Rikudou Sennin really existed?
If not for the successive appearance of Otsutsuki, even if it was Nagato who possessed Rinnegan, whether this Rikudou Sennin really was "Sage", whether or not he had created this world, was also full of doubt.
"This old toad is even more ancient and precious than the white snake Sage..."
Plop!
Pieces of purple gelatinous matter drilled out of Hiruko's body, and these gelatinous things kept squirming, accumulating more and more.
Chimera Technique's initial ceremony began.
Hiruko couldn't wait to see how much his strength would increase after swallowing the toad Sage.
"Hurry up, I don't have time to waste here with you." Naruto said impatiently.
Hiruko was not angry. He smiled strangely. "Are you dissatisfied with not being able to get Senjutsu? Don't worry. After I devour this toad, I will pass Mount Myouboku's Senjutsu to you. It is not a precious thing anyway."
Naruto destroyed Mount Myouboku and achieved the goal of the new experiment, but failed to learn Senjutsu; his secondary goal - Mount Myouboku's toad could not teach him Senjutsu, and he did not pay much attention to it.
The only motive was to consider that half of Kyubi provided him with limited chakra.
Before obtaining the complete Kyubi, Senjutsu was a good way to replenish his chakra.
Kyubi said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. It is very dangerous to rashly learn from Senjutsu, let alone the Senjutsu system he has mastered. You have the help of this old man, so you does not need to waste time on Senjutsu."
Naruto did not respond, staring at Hiruko's actions.
If this guy devours the White Snake Sage and Toad Sage and gathers the two Senjutsu systems, how strong will his strength be? In any case, he is still definitely not his match. Naruto thought.
The ceremony began.
A large amount of purple gelatinous matter spread and covered the body of Toad Sage. Even Hiruko's entire body showed signs of melting.
One man and one toad, using the purple gelatinous object as a medium, gradually merged together, turning into a huge mass that made one unable to see the situation inside.
This mass of thing was still squirming, as if it was brewing some strange magical creature.
"What a rough method. Forcibly carrying out genetic integration?" Xu suddenly spoke.
Obito was also using Sharingan to observe carefully. He said slowly, "According to common sense, the more bloodline one fuses, the more Kekkei controls, the more difficult it will be for him to fuse with a new bloodline..."
Every time a new bloodline fuses, it is necessary to unify with the old bloodlines and achieve a stable balance on the surface of the gene layer.
The more bloodlines there are, the more complicated the interior will be. The higher the price of maintaining stability, the higher the possibility of collapse.
Akatsuki's group calculated and suddenly realized that this was already the fourth bloodline that Hiruko had fused with.
Burning Escape, Rapid Escape, White Snake Sage, Toad Sage.
Two of them didn't even belong to humans.
As time passed, the speed of the lump was decreasing, and it seemed to have stabilized.
"Is it going to end?" Nagato rolled his eyes and watched indifferently.
Gulp, gulp...
The ball-shaped object suddenly contracted and was absorbed by the thing inside.
In the end, Hiruko's twisted and painful face was revealed.
It was a slightly strange face. The skin was covered in scales, and under the scales, there were intermittent strange skin that were faintly discernible.
Especially Hiruko's eyes. The corners of his eyes were slightly narrow, but the pupil were very different. One was horizontal, while the other was vertical.
"The horizontal pupil belongs to a toad, and the vertical one belongs to a white snake. Wahaha, Hiruko has become a stitched monster!"
A White Zetsu laughed loudly.
No one paid attention to him, but focused on Hiruko.
His body condition has stabilized. What about his thinking? What about his spirit? Did he split or even collapse?
"I succeeded. I almost..."
Hiruko's distorted face slowly disappeared as he murmured.
He suddenly took a step forward, and a webbing like a toad appeared between his fingers and toes.
Obviously, in order to maintain the stability of his genes, he had paid a great price and was in extreme pain.
