Chapter 159: Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation—Unbound Serpent!
"Hiss."
Feeling his perfectly formed cursed body—
"This power..."
"I feel like I could kill ten bulls with my bare hands right now!"
Tsukasa took a deep breath, exhaling a long, condensed white breath into the night air. A flicker of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.
The power of Ryūchi Cave wasn't easily obtained. The massive influx of natural energy had almost ruptured his eyes completely.
If Ebizō hadn't suddenly attacked, forcing him to expend a significant amount of chakra and use the Forbidden Technique: Flesh Metamorphosis to forcibly extract some of the excess natural energy, he would have almost gone blind.
"Then... in return—"
Tsukasa grinned, a cold smile spreading across his pale face.
"I'll let you witness the power of a Sage!"
In an instant, his serpentine pupils twisted, glancing at the shocked Ebizō behind the sealing formation. A sudden surge of killing intent erupted in his eyes!
The next moment, Tsukasa's footsteps shattered the ground as a violent surge of chakra erupted from his body.
In an instant, he broke the sound barrier, creating a shockwave as he vanished from his position!
He charged straight into the sealing formation composed of lion-headed puppets!
"This brat is even faster than before—this is bad!"
Ebizō's eyes flashed with alarm as he gritted his teeth.
Facing an opponent whose speed was so great that conventional attacks couldn't hit him, his goal was to leave him nowhere to hide!
With this thought, Ebizō immediately clasped his hands together and slammed them into the ground!
He poured chakra into the sealing formation before him!
"Puppet Technique: Lion Capture Binding!"
The secret seal suddenly ignited with light, and one after another, lion-headed puppets flew into the air, erecting a defensive wall while spewing a rain of weapons and binding ropes at Tsukasa!
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Facing the surging storm of blades, Tsukasa's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
He charged forward, hands clasped together, roaring:
"You think you can kill me?!"
"Ridiculous! Let me show you—"
"I am immortal!"
He stomped his foot, the impact reverberating through the ground!
With perfect control over his body and superhuman combat instincts, he bypassed the countless tedious steps of Sage Mode training at Mount Myōboku.
The natural energy within him combined with his physical and spiritual energy, instantly balancing the three forces in a perfect 1:1:1 ratio, fusing them into a new power!
Sage Chakra!
This chakra surged through his feet, blasting into the ground and causing the entire desert surface within the barrier to tremble!
The next moment, the Sage Technique he'd copied from Orochimaru using his Sharingan manifested!
Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation!
The sand beneath his feet churned violently, lifting Tsukasa high into the air as wind whipped across his face.
Finally, the massive amount of sand transformed into a gigantic serpent beneath his feet!
"HISS!!!"
The giant serpent raised its head and roared furiously at the sky, shaking the entire barrier!
Then—
Tsukasa stood atop the serpent's head, letting it carry him forward—
One moment crashing through the storm of deadly blades filled with killing intent,
The next moment smashing into the defensive wall behind the storm!
"Has this brat lost his mind?!"
Ebizō's face twitched. Looking at Tsukasa's utterly reckless and suicidal behavior, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He gritted his teeth, raised his palm to form a hand seal, and glared furiously.
"Fine! If that's how you want it!"
"Then I'll grant your death wish!"
The next moment, he roared coldly:
"Puppet Technique: Manipulated Kunai—Human Control!"
"Sealing Formation: Lion's Closing Roar!"
Chakra threads hidden within the rain of blades burst forth from the backs of the weapons, revealing sharp barbed points. They shot out with the projectile storm—
And then the lion puppets forming the shield wall opened their maws, creating a hurricane-force suction pulling backward!
With nowhere to hide from this pincer attack, Tsukasa didn't even try to dodge.
He let the chakra threads and weapons pierce his body, dragging him toward the defensive wall.
Then, sucked into a lion puppet's mouth by the whirlwind, the puppet's jaws snapped shut!
CRUNCH!
As the sharp teeth pierced Tsukasa's body, black sealing patterns appeared across his skin, locking away all his chakra!
At the same time, the giant sand serpent created by Inorganic Reincarnation slammed into the shield wall, smashing a massive gap in the entire defensive formation.
"Success!"
Ebizō's white eyebrow raised, his eyes brightening with triumph.
Normally, once chakra is sealed, a shinobi is no different from an ordinary person.
However, the next moment—
A thunderous boom suddenly rang out from within the lion-headed puppet holding Tsukasa!
BANG!
A violent blast of air carried countless fragments of wood and metal backward!
A fist covered in white serpent scales smashed through the puppet, then forcefully tore it in two!
Tsukasa, his body marked with black sealing patterns and pierced like a pincushion by various weapons, leaped high from the opening!
"This... how is this possible?!"
Ebizō's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the boy who had single-handedly demolished his puppet.
The sealing patterns on his body proved his chakra had indeed been sealed—
So what the hell was happening?!
Tsukasa sneered, landing without stopping and continuing his mad dash toward Ebizō!
As he charged, he opened his mouth impossibly wide—
From which another arm suddenly emerged!
Thus, while the old body charged forward madly, a newly formed Tsukasa tore open the mouth of his previous body and crawled out—
A bizarre and terrifying sight!
He moved through the rain of deadly blades, leaping across the battlefield!
At this moment, Tsukasa was truly like the mythical Ouroboros—the immortal, endlessly regenerating serpent—
An unbound snake!
Tsukasa had indeed been hit by a sealing jutsu, but Ebizō had only sealed the snakeskin generated by the Cursed Seal of Heaven's Stage Two form!
Orochimaru Style: Oral Rebirth—the most overpowered regeneration technique in the entire shinobi world.
Once mastered, many of the shinobi world's conventional rules could no longer bind the user!
Because this was a miracle of ninjutsu!
"Damn it—what the hell is this monster?!"
Ebizō's scalp tingled with dread. Seeing that Tsukasa was about to rush through the gap smashed by the giant sand serpent—
If this kid got close and landed a full combo of Uchiha-style taijutsu on him—
He couldn't survive that!
Ebizō immediately gritted his teeth, raised his palm to control his puppets, and prepared to launch another volley of weapons to block Tsukasa's path and movement!
At this moment, Tsukasa was crouched on the face of his frantically running molted body, pulling out the last leg. Seeing Ebizō's desperate attempt, he raised an eyebrow.
"Old man, trying to salvage this now?"
He immediately threw his head back and laughed uproariously:
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA—"
Then he abruptly stopped laughing, his expression shifting to a cold, blank stare as he looked at Ebizō.
He declared icily:
"I'll mercifully tell you something, old man!"
"Now—"
"It's too late!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tsukasa leaped from his molted body to the ground.
He reached back into the mouth of his discarded form and drew his Kusanagi sword.
The next moment, he bared his gleaming white teeth at Ebizō, gripped the hilt of his blade, and swung it forward!
Heartbeat accelerates!
Zero-Tails chakra unsealed!
Forbidden Technique activated!
In an instant—
In the endless desert of the Land of Wind—
Under the night sky—
A brilliant sun suddenly rose!
