"No need to ask too many questions about the material; after all, you're not the main body." Uchiha Nagi didn't want to chat with it anymore, so he directly sealed its mouth, threw it into a storage scroll, and didn't care if the White Zetsu could survive in there.
White Zetsu, having lived underground for so long, probably doesn't need to breathe, so it shouldn't suffocate. Even if it does, it's fine as long as its body remains.
That's right, he did it on purpose. The White Zetsu's Stealth Technique was like a cheat code in the soil; it was impossible to catch. Besides the ocean, there was virtually nowhere it couldn't go.
After Susanoo unleashed a massive wave of energy, he began planning to clear out the monitoring White Zetsu and, while he was at it, capture one for experimental material.
After thinking for a long time, this area provided him with a good solution.
The ground had been burned into a crystalline state by the high temperature. Even if the White Zetsu could hide underground, its speed would definitely be slow, and he had already plowed deep trenches.
So, Flying Thunder God combined with a Sealing Technique successfully captured a White Zetsu. Congratulations—
Unfortunately, the capture wasn't White Zetsu #1. That #1 mother White Zetsu was the sow that could infinitely produce large quantities of White Zetsu.
Among the White Zetsu created by Uchiha Madara, besides the #1 mother, there was also a special White Zetsu, Tobi, who liked to play with feces and first appeared possessing Obito as an amplifying White Zetsu outer layer.
Moreover, the first White Zetsu could perform a robe technique, replicating itself and emitting an invisible seed that would parasitize Ninja with Chakra.
Other than these two, the other White Zetsu had nothing special about them.
Night—
On the vast desert, a bonfire was lit. With the endless sand, there was no need to worry about sneak attacks, as everything could be seen at a glance. However, being cautious, he still dug a pit to shield the firelight so the bonfire wouldn't be seen by people far away.
"Kimimaro, you go to sleep first. Don't worry, Teacher will keep watch—" Uchiha Nagi said.
"Okay, Teacher. Call me when it's time to switch shifts—" Having traveled all day, the desert climate was unbearable. Kimimaro was already exhausted and fell asleep shortly after lying down.
Yukihime next to him, needless to say, had eaten early, laid down, and fallen asleep. Uchiha Nagi shook his head. This Hime was quite resilient; her feet were blistered and bleeding, yet she still laughed cheerfully like an optimist.
Although delicate, she wasn't fussy. So far, their time together was quite pleasant… Uchiha Nagi began to study Naruto Uzumaki's painstakingly completed Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
This Ninjutsu was truly a deadly weapon. The target's abilities would be continuously cut by fine needles converted from Wind Release Chakra, from cutting the skin to cutting the cells inside the body. Finally, the whirlwind would spread, and the opponent's organs, from inside to out, would be damaged, rendering them completely immobile. So, when he first succeeded, Naruto's hand was almost crippled because when he released it, his hand also came into contact with it to some extent, naturally incurring damage.
Later, as he became proficient, he either used a Shadow Clone to release it or his control improved, so he didn't keep his hand too close when releasing it, thus avoiding crippling himself.
If he used this move against Muzan, he wouldn't have to worry about Muzan splitting into 1,800 pieces and escaping. It would directly destroy him at the cellular level; even if he split into 10,000 pieces, it would be useless.
Dealing with a Muzan-like Buu wasn't about fearing his strength; it was about his tendency to be cowardly and flee. This guy had absolutely no dignity as a strong individual, and that was the most difficult part.
Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz—
Whoosh—
Uchiha Nagi threw the Rasenshuriken, hitting the desert. It felt decent. If he used his left hand, which contained white zetsu cells, even if it sustained some subtle Wind-attribute damage, it could recover as long as he didn't use it every day.
Once his control improved and his physique strengthened later, he wouldn't have to worry about harming himself.
Uchiha Nagi clenched his right hand tightly. He still lacked a powerful, useful body tempering technique. Just regular hard training was too slow; he didn't know when he would be able to catch up to Tsunade and Might Guy's physiques.
"Third Raikage…" Uchiha Nagi murmured.
The pinnacle of Ninja physique wasn't Might Guy, but the Third Raikage, a man who had forged his body to the extreme. After being reanimated by Edo Tensei, he could withstand Naruto's Rasenshuriken without Ninjutsu and without suffering any damage.
Some might say his Edo Tensei body couldn't die, but the fact that he withstood the Rasenshuriken without a single speck of his body flying off is undeniable.
"It seems after the Land of Iron, I'll have to make a trip to the Land of Lightning…"
The Flying Thunder God Technique gave Uchiha Nagi confidence in escaping. Facing the Fourth Raikage, with his Mangekyo's dynamic vision, he was confident his speed wouldn't lose to him.
Before even fighting, he was already in an invincible position, so why not be a bit reckless?
Once he copied the Raikage lineage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode body tempering technique and further enhanced his physical constitution, he estimated he would soon be able to use Super Strength Fist with his right hand as well.
Once his right hand could use Super Strength Fist, then his feet could too. Finally, Akaza's taijutsu, Destructive Kill, he could use as much as he wanted without any reservations. Having so many powerful taijutsu techniques but not daring to use them often due to insufficient physical strength was truly torture.
Hmm!?
Suddenly, Uchiha Nagi felt a slight abnormality, as if someone was approaching.
Could it be another White Zetsu? No, the White Zetsu's aura was like a plant, different from a human's.
"Beast Breathing, Seventh Form ~ Spatial Perception."
In an instant, three Chakra entered Uchiha Nagi's perception. One of them was the most special: evil, cold, powerful, like a collection of all the negative emotions in the world… Only one type of person could have such a powerful and evil collection of Chakra: a Jinchuriki—
"Interesting~" Uchiha Nagi stood up, leaving a Flying Thunder God Kunai on the spot, then used a Body Flicker Technique to leave.
On the boundless desert, there was a red-haired, dark-eyed child, and two other people: Kankuro, Gaara, and Baki.
They had come on the Kazekage's orders to investigate the massive explosion. Don't let it seem like Gaara's strength at this time was still that of a Genin; even the Jonin Yashamaru couldn't harm him back then.
If provoked, and the Shukaku inside him went wild, even a Kage-level expert might not be able to defeat it. Not everyone had the ability to stop a Tailed Beast Ball.
[Sandaime: ...]
Before the Akatsuki appeared, the Tailed Beasts were terrifyingly powerful. Even a Kage of a village couldn't claim to be 100% confident in a one-on-one fight against them, especially with their immense size; a single stomp could crush a Ninja with high offense and low defense.
"Don't be careless, Gaara, Kankuro. The opponent might not have gone far. Let's observe. Even if we find them, don't act rashly." The leader, Baki, was the Kazekage's children's sensei.
He was also the one who, later, pushed Gaara to power and subsequently became his right-hand man.
"Stop nagging~ It hasn't seen blood in a long time. It craves blood… I want to kill people…" Gaara's gloomy gaze startled even the Jonin Baki.
Mainly, the evil Tailed Beast Chakra emanating from his body was chilling. This was also why Naruto was unpopular since childhood; the evil aura inadvertently emitted by the Tailed Beast, even if only a tiny bit, could make humans feel uncomfortable.
"I understand, but you must control it. Our mission this time is reconnaissance, not combat. Find the cause and retreat immediately…" Baki said in a deep voice.
Whoosh, whoosh whoosh—
Before Baki could finish speaking, several Kunai were thrown at them.
"Careful, dodge—!"
Several Kunai hit the ground. Just as Baki dodged, he saw a Ninja instantly appear in front of him and strike with a blade.
"Water Breathing, Second Form: Water Wheel—"
The one who instantly appeared beside them was, of course, Uchiha Nagi. Among the Kunai he threw, one was a Flying Thunder God, which instantly flew to their side. Before they could react, Uchiha Nagi unleashed Water Breathing, Second Form: Water Wheel.
"Hmm?!"
To Uchiha Nagi's surprise, he couldn't cut Baki in half. Aren't Ninja all flesh and blood?
Upon seeing the skin between his flesh, he understood. Besides wearing a "bulletproof vest" specially developed for Ninja, Baki also had a layer of skin armor similar to Earth Release. No wonder he wasn't cut to death. Later, he used this Earth Release skin Ninjutsu to ambush the highly skilled swordsman Gekkō Hayate, right… "Hehe… Very strong swordsmanship, but unfortunately your sword can't move now." Baki's face was grim. Although his shoulder was bleeding, he had firmly grabbed Uchiha Nagi's hand, and at the same time, took out a Kunai with his other hand and stabbed at him.
"Foolish, if I don't have a sword, I still have my fists—" Uchiha Nagi sneered. His bandaged left hand gathered Chakra and directly met Baki's Kunai head-on.
Baki: "…!?"
Fist against Kunai, the imagined scene of being pierced by the Kunai did not occur. Super Strength Fist is not just taijutsu; it's also Ninjutsu. When used, Chakra envelops the arm, increasing the protection for the user's body.
Otherwise, action and reaction are relative. The greater the destruction caused to the ground each time, the greater the damage to the fist… Baki's Kunai was broken by Uchiha Nagi's Super Strength Fist, and after breaking his hand, it landed heavily on his body.
Pfft~
Baki, in mid-air, spat out large mouthfuls of blood, flying backward dozens of meters, critically injured and near death… "Super Strength Fist, truly terrifying~" Uchiha Nagi sighed. No wonder no one dared to take a punch from Tsunade. Getting hit by one punch would either kill or cripple you.
Being hit by someone else's Super Strength Fist was certainly unpleasant, but hitting others with Super Strength Fist… felt great—that feeling of connecting with every punch, of being able to incapacitate someone with one punch, was truly exhilarating. No wonder Tsunade didn't even use her Five Elements Ninjutsu and just liked to pound people's chests with her little fists; it was too satisfying.
Seeing Baki defeated in one move, Kankuro behind him, his face drastically changed, shouted: "Watch out, Gaara—!"
The panda-eyed Gaara didn't dodge or evade. The previous Kunai had already been blocked by his automatic sand defense.
