Chapter 420: Rampage
Upon entering Immortal Zombie Mode, the Wood Golem could no longer restrain its absorption of external natural energy. It would madly absorb natural energy, good, bad, no matter what kind, and it would do so without restraint, absorbing until there was nothing left.
The Immortal Zombie would be like a locust, sucking dry everything within its range.
Ino had experimented with it before. The Wood Golem in Immortal Zombie Mode truly had a bit of the "wherever it passes, the land becomes barren for a thousand miles" meaning of a drought demon.
Her path to becoming a "sage" had definitely gone astray, and astray by a long shot. But there was no harm in using it now. The Immortal Zombie Golem is absorbing natural energy, what does that have to do with me?
This was a ninjutsu effect, of the same nature as the previous Great Fire Annihilation and Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave. At most, the Immortal Zombie could be controlled to walk a few steps like a "person," while a fireball or a flood could not "walk" in the conventional sense. But in reality, they were all the same.
The Immortal Zombie bore some resemblance to Ino. At this moment, its face was gaunt, with a head of gray-white long hair, and its eyes were tightly closed. Hidden within the gray spots on its arms, chest, and abdomen were human faces. They were all people who had died violent deaths, including many women and children. They held a strong hatred for the world of the living. We are all people of the Mist Village, why are you alive? And why did we have to die? It's not fair!
After being absorbed and transformed by the Immortal Zombie, the endless resentment turned into tangible natural energy. With a sharp shriek, this monster completely came to life.
"...This is, this is a bit unexpected."
Konoha was making such a big commotion, with an expedition and hiring pirates and warrior monks. Zetsu would naturally come to watch. The appearance of the Immortal Zombie surprised him a bit. As an old monster who had lived for several thousand years, the emotion of surprise had not appeared in him for a very, very long time.
The first time he saw the Immortal Zombie, he couldn't help but curse under his breath. What the hell is this thing?!
For a moment, he thought it was the brother of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path; they both looked so "unconventional."
Good heavens! Are you Konoha people really friends of justice? This thing is full of evil energy. Even a bad guy like Zetsu is a little scared looking at it.
After careful identification for a while, he figured it out. Oh, so it's Sage Mode. Scared the crap out of me. I thought it was another empty shell of the Ten-Tails.
Seeing such a monster reeking of the underworld appear in the village, what Gonbee felt was fear.
For a moment, he looked at the gray spots on the Immortal Zombie's body. The vague figures within seemed to be calling out to him.
"Lord Gonbee, please save me!"
"Lord Gonbee, it's me, Heita! I'm so cold, please, save me..."
"Lord Gonbee, I am your most loyal subordinate, I don't want to die!"
The voices calling out to him were all extremely familiar. Many were acquaintances, but without exception, all these acquaintances were already dead, some for more than ten years!
Gonbee felt a chill run up his spine. His voice sounded a bit hoarse.
"Can you see those dead souls?" He suspected he was under a genjutsu, so he asked his subordinates next to him.
Some said they could see them, others were茫然无知 (ignorant and bewildered), not knowing what the advisor was talking about.
Generally speaking, those with a high level of Yin Release could see them. The higher the level, the clearer they looked.
Ino was here to demolish the place, and she didn't give them any time to prepare. She sank into the Immortal Zombie's body, controlled it, and clapped her hands together. Through this huge shell, she mixed the natural energy with her own chakra.
The huge humanoid creature opened its mouth.
"Sage Art: Water Release: Underworld Colliding Wave!"
Bone-chilling ice water fell from the sky. The first few Mist ninja to come into contact with the underworld water didn't even have time to grunt before their bodies were frozen stiff. A flash of fear passed through their eyes, and then they lost all signs of life. Their bodies sank to the bottom of the water, and their souls once again became nourishment for the Immortal Zombie.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!" Gonbee created a water dragon that coiled and spun its body rapidly, trying to block the underworld water falling from the sky. The other Mist ninja who knew Earth Release all used it. High platforms, pillars, and earthen mounds rose from the ground. A group of ninja stood on high ground, looking at the dark underworld water below, and a palpitation involuntarily rose in their hearts. It was the fear of the living for the dead, engraved in their genes.
"Hehe, you dare to use Water Release in front of me?" Ino's voice came from within the Immortal Zombie.
The underworld water soon engulfed the water dragon and then spread to the surroundings of the Mist Village.
Tree trunks withered and died, the soil was washed away by the underworld water, and many wooden houses quickly collapsed. The villagers of the Mist all fled to the roofs of stone houses to take refuge.
The Cloud ninja had launched a surprise attack before, and now it was happening again? Many villagers' mentality had already collapsed.
Gonbee loudly issued commands.
"Quick! Stop her, we must take her down! Sealing squad! Go!"
"Where are the Fire Release squad members? Blast her! Go to the warehouse and get all the explosive tags!"
"Quick! Contact Lady Mizukage, tell her to come back! Hurry!"
Gonbee anxiously issued instructions, at the same time sending people to invite the secluded Genpaku out again. We need you, old master, to take charge of the overall situation.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Water Release: Water Stream Whip!"
"Earth Release: Earth Pillar Explosion!"
A large number of C-rank ninjutsu mixed with a few B-rank ninjutsu rained down on the Immortal Zombie. The Mist's sealing squad was even more frantically sticking sealing tags on the Immortal Zombie's body.
Bit by bit, when ten, a hundred tags were connected together to form a local sealing formation formula, it could hinder the Immortal Zombie's movements.
Ino hadn't planned to pay attention to them, but seeing all kinds of ninjutsu and explosive tags being thrown at her, she got annoyed.
The Immortal Zombie stomped its foot hard, lowered its center of gravity, and slammed its hands on the ground.
"Sage Art: Underworld Path!"
Jiraiya could summon the stomach wall of the rock-lodging toad of Mount Myoboku. One function of this jutsu was defense, the other was to trap enemies.
This was a very clever summoning jutsu.
Ino's Underworld Path referred to a part of this jutsu's theory. She used the characteristics of the Immortal Zombie to summon the path to the Pure Land world. From the mortal world to the Underworld Path, and then through the Underworld Path to reach the Pure Land, the life of a mortal basically followed this process. Those who stepped on this path were all the dead. If they walked further, they could rest in peace.
Gonbee felt that the world before his eyes instantly lost its color, as if he had suddenly arrived in a black-and-white world. Fire, earth, and water ninjutsu all became dim at this moment. The screams of women, the angry curses of men, and the cries of children in the village all disappeared at this moment. A shuddering signal appeared in the hearts of all living beings.
Quiet! No noise is allowed here!
"This is a ninjutsu after all. Since it's a ninjutsu, it can definitely be broken..." Gonbee thought hard, trying to find a solution to the problem.
