chapter 107 part 2
As long as there were Cells, as long as there were nerve pathways, they would inevitably be paralyzed! Chiyo shouted, "I'll deal with Sasori later. I won't let my grandson leave with someone like you! Your arrogance and hubris will be your demise here!"
She calculated the time, feeling it was sufficient, and immediately commanded a group of Puppets to strike.
To be safe, Chiyo also opened her Puppet arm, preparing to launch her entire arm to Seal Tsukasa Kaede's body.
Toxins + Sealing Technique. Chiyo had prepared for this moment for too long.
But in the next second, Tsukasa Kaede, unaffected, raised his head. His face was covered in cracks, his dark eyes lifeless, causing Chiyo to freeze.
"Let's talk in detail next time, Chiyo." Tsukasa Kaede performed a single Hand Kaedegn.
*Swish!* A large number of Puppets slashed into a suddenly appearing Zombie, instantly dismembering it, sending a mass of flesh scattering.
Chiyo hurried over, meticulously examining the Corpse, then disbelievingly sensed the poisonous gas in the air.
"My poison isn't flawed... What's with his state? Is that also a Zombie? A new form of Corpse? Has Tsukasa Kaede really transformed himself into a Corpse..."
But even if he had truly become a Corpse, he shouldn't be like this. Corpses still have Cells and basic nerves; otherwise, it would be impossible to use Living Corpse Reincarnation Jutsu to transfer Life Force.
Tsukasa Kaede could remain unaffected unless... he no longer possessed conventional human characteristics.
Chiyo had never seen Impure World Reincarnation, and even if she racked her brain, she wouldn't have thought that Tsukasa Kaede had actually died.
She angrily looked at the shattered Zombie, recognizing it as the insect-like Zetsu, Sasori's recognized "friend," which infuriated her even more.
"What have Sasori and Tsukasa Kaede been planning all these years? I clearly had them under strict surveillance, so why did I find nothing? Sasori didn't hesitate to defect, Tsukasa Kaede changed his physical appearance, seemingly no longer a Living Human... To what extent have these two developed the combined path of Human Puppets and Corpse Release?"
Naturally, Chiyo judged Tsukasa Kaede's physical state as a new form resulting from the fusion of Human Puppets and Corpse Release, appearing to be in a state of death but lacking the characteristics of a normal Corpse.
This made it even harder for her to accept. How did these two manage this over the years? She knew nothing about such a revolutionary research outcome.
"I need to summon Sensor Ninja!"
Chiyo suppressed her shock and anger, rushing towards the Kazekage's residence.
...
The sky was filled with swirling yellow sand as time slowly passed.
When Tsukasa Kaede returned, he saw Sasori gazing at the boundless desert.
The high-intensity battle had left Sasori's face pale and his breathing ragged. He was only now starting to recover slightly, and a hint of color returned to his cold gaze the moment he saw Tsukasa Kaede.
"You didn't return immediately, huh? How was it? Did you seize the chance to kill Chiyo?"
"No, you overestimate me. I couldn't kill a powerful Kage Level expert like that in a few tens of seconds," Tsukasa Kaede said.
"Kage Level... an interesting classification. Such a term is rarely mentioned in Hidden Sand Village."
"It's also rarely mentioned in Hidden Leaf Village. Even if it is, people habitually refer to them as 'Hokage-level' Ninja, as another standard to differentiate them from Jonin."
Tsukasa Kaede answered casually, "Give it to me. The latest Living Corpse Reincarnation Jutsu."
Sasori casually tossed the scroll to Tsukasa Kaede. He had no expectations for this ridiculous Jutsu. He had long confirmed that this Jutsu was Chiyo's technique to revive the Father Puppet and Mother Puppet, but he had no need to re-obtain his parents.
What was the point of reviving them? They would just die again in the end. Only Immortality was everything.
"Your need for the Living Corpse Reincarnation Jutsu is related to your current physical state, isn't it? You're no longer a Living Human... Is this a new Corpse Release achievement you've developed?"
Sasori carefully observed Tsukasa Kaede's state, sensing no body temperature, heartbeat, or anything else, confirming that Tsukasa Kaede was a living dead person, and far more thoroughly dead than a Zombie.
"No, at least not yet. I haven't learned Impure World Reincarnation, so I can't yet incorporate this Forbidden Jutsu into the scope of my Corpse Release. Otherwise, I wouldn't have put so much effort into becoming this current form."
Tsukasa Kaede casually explained the characteristics of Impure World Reincarnation to Sasori.
Sasori was indeed deeply captivated.
"I see, so many interesting things have happened. The Second Hokage truly was a genius. What a pity he wasted too much time on other Technique Formulas. If he had focused solely on Impure World Reincarnation, perhaps he would have become an Immortal earlier than us."
Sasori nodded repeatedly, astonished by the incredible effects of Impure World Reincarnation.
To give someone an Immortal Body and relatively infinite Chakra—this was simply the most perfect "Human Puppet"! Compared to Impure World Reincarnation, Hidden Sand Village's Human Puppet Secret Technique was practically a joke! At the very least, Tsukasa Kaede right now was a top-tier creation that made Sasori incredibly envious.
"Don't have too high hopes. The current version of Impure World Reincarnation is actually just so-so. The reason I can maintain decent power after transforming into this state is partly because the Sacrifice carrying me is strong, and partly because my own strength isn't particularly high," Tsukasa Kaede said indifferently.
An Earthling's body, relying on a large number of Zombies to supply Chakra, could only maintain a phased "brief power."
But Sasori didn't know this, thinking it was due to Tsukasa Kaede's extremely high standards and pickiness.
"Indeed, people like us should have higher standards and not be complacent with existing achievements. My choice was indeed correct; you are my fellow traveler."
"...Think what you will. Someone else told me something similar before."
Tsukasa Kaede took out a pile of scrolls and laid them on the ground, then performed the Summoning Jutsu to summon Zombies.
Large numbers of scrolls opened one after another, and black shadows emerged from within, densely packed, standing layer upon layer around Tsukasa Kaede, and rapidly spreading outwards at an astonishing speed.
Looking down from the sky, it was like a giant circle expanding wildly.
"Are these the Sacrifices you're using for your Living Corpse Reincarnation Jutsu? That's quite a number. How many exactly?" Sasori was also moved. His field of vision was already filled with countless Zombies, making it impossible for him to calculate precisely.
