Chapter 125 The Terrifying Effect of the Resurrection Coin, Kabuto's Impure World Reincarnation
Chapter 125 The Terrifying Effect of the Resurrection Coin, Kabuto's Impure World Reincarnation
Deep within a poisonous forest at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass.
"Huff... huff..."
Heavy breathing echoed as Obito Uchiha leaned against the rock wall, his body trembling slightly.
He was exhausted and looked utterly disheveled.
The spare vortex mask, specially made to conceal his identity, was cut in half during his previous escape.
To make matters worse, three specially made explosive kunai were sticking out of his right shoulder and left leg.
Obito gritted his teeth and pulled out the kunai.
"Roy...you bastard..."
Ever since that damned wanted poster for the entire ninja world was posted on the sky, along with the incredible reward of resurrection coins, Obito hasn't had a single peaceful night's sleep.
He originally thought that even without the Outer Path Demon Statue and Black Zetsu, he could still rely on his divine power to lurk in the darkness like a ghost and slowly accumulate power.
But he underestimated the allure of the word "resurrection" to humanity, and even more so, he underestimated Roy's ability to turn the entire world into a player. He himself even had a slight illusion that he was being treated like a world boss to be defeated!
These past few days, he's been treated like a rat in the street.
Not only do they have to evade the carpet search by the secret services of the five major powers, but they also have to deal with an old man who has been retired for decades.
Even more outrageous is that ordinary bounty hunters who don't even know how to refine chakra, and who are armed with kitchen knives and hoes, rush towards him as if they've seen a mountain of gold.
Just three hours ago, he simply wanted to go to a small town on the border of the Land of Grass to buy some dry rations.
As a result, after the woman selling steamed buns saw that he only had half a mask left, she actually set off the town's air raid siren!
Then, everyone in the town, from ninjas to commoners, even an eighty-year-old woman, rushed out with her cane, shouting wildly.
"Catch him! Bring my husband back to life!"
"Don't let him get away! My son can be saved!"
If he hadn't reacted quickly and activated his Divine Might Intangibility in time, he might have been overwhelmed by the sheer number of civilians.
He hadn't considered wiping out the group in one move, but there were too many of them, and they could wear him down eventually.
"I am the successor of Madara Uchiha, the supreme god who once controlled the undercurrents of the ninja world."
Obito slammed his fist into the rock wall.
"Now... I've actually been reduced to being hunted down like a bounty monster in a game by a bunch of ants?!"
He sadly discovered that he now truly had nothing left.
Without the golem, without the Akatsuki's intelligence network, and without Black Zetsu's assistance, he would even be reported for going out to buy food.
"Am I really going to die here?"
At this moment, Dou also spoke up at the opportune moment.
"Only mortals trapped by their obsessions would crave something like a resurrection coin. As for me, I pursue a truth that transcends life and death."
Straighten up and quickly form a mudra with your hands in front of your chest.
"Since you had doubts about the Impure World Reincarnation before, I will now show you the collection I have gathered over the years, and the improved version of it."
Dou slapped his hands on the ground.
"Boom!"
The ground trembled violently, and three enormous wooden coffins, engraved with complex runes, slowly rose from the ground, blocking Obito and Kabuto's path.
"Oh?"
Obito looked at the three coffins, and although he was somewhat surprised by Kabuto's skills, he remained outwardly calm.
"Whom do you wish to communicate with? The shadow spirits of past generations? Or the fallen elites of various villages?"
"You'll find out who you summoned once they appear."
Kabuto confidently formed the hand seals.
However, a few seconds passed.
The three coffins stood there silently, their lids completely still, showing no sign of revival.
"Um?"
Dou frowned, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
He increased his chakra output again.
"Impure World Reincarnation - Summon!"
There was still no response.
Not only did he fail to summon a soul, Kabuto even felt his chakra being directly bounced back by the domineering power of the rules.
"What's going on?!"
Dou felt he was losing face; he never expected his first order to fail.
"His soul... is locked up?!"
"That's impossible! Impure World Reincarnation is the ultimate ninjutsu that summons a soul directly from the Pure Land. Unless the soul has been devoured by the Reaper Death Seal or has been completely freed, it's absolutely impossible for the summoning to fail!"
Seeing Kabuto's discomfiture, Obito couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"It seems your forbidden techniques are nothing special. You can't even summon a few dead people, yet you dare to dream of helping me?"
"No...it's not a problem with the technique! Their souls don't belong in the Pure Land!"
Kabuto recalled the few words Orochimaru had left behind about the Illusionary Dojo.
"It's the store manager! Roy!"
Dou's voice trembled slightly.
"He used some unknown means to sign soul contracts with some former spirits! Those souls have most likely been locked away by the Illusionary Dojo, becoming Roy's private property! Even the laws of the Underworld cannot interfere!"
Obito felt like his worldview had been completely refreshed.
Even the soul can be locked?!
What terrifying power of rules does Roy possess?
"What a terrifying monster..."
Obito forced himself to calm down.
"Since some of the dead cannot be summoned, can your army of the undead still hold up?"
"Sure. Let's dig up those that've been dead long enough! I don't believe Roy can control everything."
Kabuto bit his finger again and formed the hand seal once more.
"This time, there will absolutely be no mistakes!"
"Impure World Reincarnation - Awaken!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The lids of the three coffins collapsed with a crash, raising a cloud of dust.
Obito looked closely and saw three bodies covered in cracks slowly emerging from the coffin.
When Obito saw the faces of the three people clearly, his eyes lit up.
The two men on the left are burly, with horns on their heads and six whisker lines on their cheeks.
They ambushed the Second Hokage during the First Shinobi World War.
Not only that, but they also possess the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths and have even devoured the flesh and blood of the Nine-Tails, the legendary brothers of Kumogakure, the Gold Horn and Silver Horn!
Among them stood a burly man with a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his chest.
He is the strongest Raikage in the history of Kumogakure, possessing the strongest spear, Hell Thrust: Four-Handed Spear, and once fought the Eight-Tails one-on-one without being at a disadvantage.
"These three people..."
Obito looked at these three monsters who had once been famous throughout the ninja world and finally smiled.
"Du, you did a great job. These three cards are very valuable."
Dou resumed his sinister smile.
"I'm glad you're satisfied, senior. This is just the tip of the iceberg of my collection. With enough offerings, I can assemble an army to sweep across the ninja world for you."
Kabuto looked at Obito and asked.
"So, senior, where should we attack first?"
Obito walked to the entrance of the cave and looked at the dark night sky outside.
Although Black Zetsu has been sealed away, he still has his own intelligence channels. Darui and other main forces of Kumogakure are currently engrossed in the Illusionary Dojo dungeon in Konoha.
"Many of the Cloud Village's elites are currently in the comfort zone of Konoha, and the Land of Lightning's internal defenses are currently weaker than ever before."
Obito's eyes were filled with nothing but desire for revenge.
"Ironically, aren't these three guys the ancestors of Kumogakure?"
"The scene of our ancestors instructing their descendants is quite interesting to imagine. Let's start with the Land of Lightning!"
Obito pointed to the three killing machines that had been resurrected using Edo Tensei.
"I'm going to use these three ancestors of Kumogakure to raze their own village to the ground!"
"I will use the fear of war, the destruction of the Land of Lightning, to force that bastard Roy to hand over the Rinnegan!"
"Let the Fourth Shinobi World War officially begin in the Land of Lightning!"
