Chapter 238 Seven Gates Kai
Black flames danced around Yinzhu's fingertips like a swarm of greedy black spirits. The sound of metal clashing from the depths of the forest suddenly ceased, followed by Kakashi's suppressed groan of pain. Yinzhu retracted the Kagutsuchi, and the black flames dissipated in a wisp of green smoke from his palm.
[System prompt: Sasuke successfully defeated Hatake Kakashi, obtained 3 Chakra Crystals, and unlocked the Sharingan's special ability: Copy speed increased by 50%]
The night breeze from the mountaintop carried a scorching smell, sweeping through his long hair. Yin Zhu stared at the burning jungle below, the system panel on his retina flashing crimson data. Sasuke's chakra surged like a raging volcano, the power of the Three Magatama Sharingan surging wildly within him.
"It's not time to relax yet." Yin Zhu flicked his finger, and a kunai, gleaming with lightning, pierced the air. The kunai exploded in mid-air, splitting into three bolts of lightning, which were precisely directed at three Konoha Anbu who were trying to circumvent them. Screams echoed, and the experience value on the system panel jumped three times.
Kimimaro's bone blade shot out from the shadows, piercing the heart of the last ANBU. The pale boy knelt on one knee, blood from the blade dripping down the bone spurs, spreading dark red patterns on the rocks. "Sir, Konoha's reinforcements are approaching, led by Might Guy."
Yin Zhu raised an eyebrow as the system suddenly popped up a warning: [High-intensity Taijutsu Chakra Detected, Energy Level: Peak Jonin]. He turned to the east, where the clouds were being torn apart by a violent gust of air. The green tights were particularly dazzling in the moonlight.
"Let Sasuke come back." Yinzhu's voice was metallic, "Gai's Eight Gates is beyond his current ability to handle."
Kimimaro took his orders and left, his bone blade tracing a silver trail through the forest. Yinzhu then produced a black scroll, biting his fingertip and dripping blood onto its center. In a puff of green smoke, ten puppets wearing Yinnin forehead protectors emerged from the scroll, their scarlet Sharingan eyes swirling in their eye sockets.
[System prompt: Perfect Jinchūriki puppet unit activated, current chakra reserve 87%]
When Might Guy appeared at the summit, he was greeted by ten simultaneous fireballs. Flames intertwined in the night sky, forming a web of flames that enveloped the entire mountaintop in intense heat. His green tights sizzled as the flames scorched. He stomped down the rocks beneath his feet, his muscles bulging like a dragon. "Youth is meant to burn in flames!"
Yin Zhu watched the soaring threat value on the system panel, a sneer curling his lips. He suddenly formed a seal, and ten puppets simultaneously drew their kunai and slashed their palms. A dark red blood mist spread around the puppets. "Secret technique? Curse seal explosion."
The puppets' bodies instantly swelled, the sound of bones piercing skin piercing through them achingly. The crimson Sharingan was stained with purple curse lines, and the chakra fluctuations suddenly increased by three levels. Kai's expression finally grew serious. He formed hand seals, and green steam began to rise from his pores. "Sixth Gate? Jingmen, open!"
The collision erupted in an instant. Kai's form transformed into green lightning, each kick carrying a sharp whistle that ripped through the air. The puppets, relying on the Sharingan's foresight, constantly dodged, counterattacking with ninjutsu infused with cursed seals. Fireballs and lightning techniques exploded in the night sky, shattering the mountaintop rocks in the shockwaves.
Yin Zhu stood at the edge of the battlefield, fingertips fiddling with the ninja tool bag he'd just stripped from an Anbu corpse. The experience points on the system panel were rapidly increasing, and the message "Host's Taijutsu Chakra Absorption Detected, Taijutsu Mastery Level Raised to Level 4" flashed continuously.
At that moment, Sasuke burst out of the sea of fire, his Kusanagi sword still dripping with Kakashi's blood. His three-magatama Sharingan was bloodshot, clearly exhausted from the previous battle. "Lord Ototake, let me meet this fellow."
Yin Zhu shook his head and pointed at Kai, who was currently battling three puppets. "His physical skills can directly attack internal organs, and your Sharingan can't fully predict them." He suddenly raised his hand and pressed Sasuke's shoulder. A new option popped up on the system panel: [Consume 500 experience points to inject "Space-Time Chakra Fragments" into the target?]
"accept."
A stream of icy energy flowed through Yinzhu's palm into Sasuke's body, like countless tiny fragments of space darting through his meridians. Sasuke's Sharingan suddenly felt a sharp pain, and gear-like patterns began to appear around the edges of his three magatama. He looked sharply at Kai's movements. The previously blurry trajectory suddenly slowed, and he could even make out the subtle changes in muscle contraction.
[System prompt: Sasuke obtains the temporary buff of "Time and Space Insight", which lasts for 10 minutes]
"This is..." Sasuke's pupils shrank, and the Kusanagi sword suddenly burst into an unprecedented light. He stepped on the footwork of Shiranui Genma's instant body movement, weaving in and out between Kai's kicks, and the blade precisely slashed at Kai's joints.
Kai's movements faltered, and he looked into Sasuke's eyes in surprise: "This kind of insight... could it be a Mangekyo?"
Yin Zhu sneered at the side. The experience points on the system panel were jumping at an alarming rate. Just as Sasuke's blade pierced Kai's forehead protector, the message "Congratulations host, Sasuke has successfully comprehended "Time and Space Slash", and is rewarded with 50ml of Mangekyō Chakra" popped up.
At that moment, a flash of white light suddenly illuminated the eastern sky. Yinzhu looked up, and saw a sight that made his pupils constrict—a rain of arrows, countless kunai equipped with explosive tags, fell from the clouds. At the source of this rain of arrows, a figure wearing a Hokage hat stood atop a giant ninja tool, followed by a dense swarm of Konoha ninjas.
"The Third Hokage?" Yin Zhu's smile faded as ten puppets suddenly exploded, blanketing the mountaintop in dark red smoke. "Kimimaro, take Sasuke to the second base."
"What about you?" Kimimaro's bone blade was ready for battle.
Yin Zhu didn't answer, instead pulling out a black bell inscribed with runes. When the bell rang for the first time, the surrounding space began to distort. With the second ring, all the Konoha ninjas froze in their tracks. By the third ring, Yin Zhu had vanished from the scene, leaving behind only a cold sentence that drifted in the wind:
"Tell Orochimaru that I have accepted his experimental subject."
Sasuke kept looking back as he retreated. He saw Ototake weaving through the Konoha ninjas, bloodstains blooming on his black windbreaker, yet he never stopped. A complex emotion suddenly flashed through his three-magatama Sharingan. He gripped the Kusanagi sword tightly, and his speed increased a bit.
Kimimaro noticed Sasuke's change, and a rare fluctuation appeared on his pale face: "He is always like this, leaving the most dangerous things for himself."
Sasuke didn't respond, simply channeling chakra into his Sharingan. The space-time chakra that Onozuki had injected into him still lingered within him, allowing him to vaguely discern the special energy flowing around him. That energy formed complex runes, each flicker capable of tearing through space.
"What kind of ninjutsu is that?" Sasuke couldn't help but ask.
