Chapter 523
As soon as Naruto and Sasuke entered the cave, Kabuto realized that his connection with NarutoSasuke was one-sided. After all these years, he doesn't know what Naruto and Sasuke's chakras look like.
"Does the ninja alliance have such a strong man? I really underestimate them. But such a person is perfectly suited to be the sacrifice for the reincarnation of Edo Tensei!"
Moments later, Naruto and Sasuke arrived in front of Kabuto. They both froze for a moment, then Sasuke smiled, "So it's you!"
"Huh? Have we met him before, Sasuke?" Naruto asked in a low voice.
Sasuke nodded, "We should have met him before."
"I thought he was familiar too, but I forgot where I had seen him." Naruto agreed.
"You don't seem to remember me anymore, but that doesn't matter. Wait until you become my sacrifice for Edo Tensei!"
A thin film appeared in front of Kabuto, and his hand was sealed: "[Sage Art – Inorganic Reincarnation ]."
After he said that, everything in the cave seemed to come to life.
Naruto and Sasuke were standing there, and they found "enemies" in all directions. Stone pillars as small as tree branches attacked them.
Sasuke turned on Susano to protect him and Naruto.
When Kabuto saw the situation, he continued to seal. Then, his body suddenly emitted a bright light, followed by a series of noises.
Naruto and Sasuke closed their eyes. However, under Kabuto's intervention, Sasuke could no longer use Susano. As soon as Sasuke's Susano was released, Kabuto activated his Scalpel Chakra* and charged towards them. [*TL Note : Chakra Scalpel is a medical technique that turns one's Chakra into a small, sharp blade. This can then be used for exact incisions needed for surgeries and anatomy. The chakra scalpel can also be used offensively, although it requires great precision to be effective. Due to this requirement, it is very unusual to use an offensive chakra scalpel. In a fierce battle, even the best medics cannot perform the precision required to make deadly cuts. However, he can still effectively cut muscle and tendon tissue, immobilizing the target.]
"Naruto, be careful! He's using a chakra scalpel." Sasuke reminded.
Naruto immediately entered Kyubi chakra mode. He used the Kyubi chakras on his body to counter the chakra scalpel and then stopped Kabuto.
"This power is… Kyuubi! I almost forgot, Uzumaki Naruto, you're the Kyuubi!" Kabuto took two steps back and summoned a coffin.
The coffin slowly opened, and Nagato stepped out of the coffin.
"Is this Naruto? Didn't expect to meet in this situation…." Nagato's tone was a bit helpless.
However, Kabuto immediately inserted a kunai with a special charm into Nagato's brain. Nagato's consciousness instantly shattered.
Seeing this scene, Naruto felt his chest heat up: "Damn, how dare you play with the souls of the dead!"
……
On the other side, Sasuke regained his sight just when Kabuto summoned Nagato. He pretended to be blind and leaned to Naruto, then suddenly he cast Amaterasu at Nagato.
The black flame rose for a moment. Then, after touching Nagato's body, Nagato's skin was slightly burned.
"Amaterasu? What a pity… Nagato has a Rinnegan!" Kabuto said he then controlled Nagato and used Shinra Tensei to ignite Amaterasu's flames.
The burnt skin on Nagato's body quickly recovered.
"Uchiha Sasuke, you just had a chance to use Amaterasu against me, but you've set your sights on Nagato. I can tell you didn't dare to kill me. Otherwise, there's no way to dispel Edo Tensei because it can only be dispelled by Me, the caster. In that case, you are done because I will kill you!"
With that, Nagato raised his hand, and a strong gravitational pull exploded, causing Naruto to come in front of him.
Seeing Naruto about to strike Nagato's black iron, Kurama immediately controlled his Chakra and transformed it into the shape of a hand.
"Thank you, Kurama!" Naruto said, wiping the cold sweat from his head.
"Be careful! Nagato's consciousness has been erased. He can attack anytime … Now let's find a way to seal him off. I think his legs aren't easy to move… We can take advantage of this opportunity. "
Hearing this, Naruto nodded then separated a shadow clone. With Kyuubi chakra and Body Flicker Technique of Yamanaka Ryo. Now Naruto's instant short distance has the same speed as teleportation.
Before Nagato had time to react, the shadow clone of Naruto shot him with a Rasengan.
Naruto's real body took the opportunity to teleport to Nagato and took out a scroll with a seal made by Kushina.
Naruto placed the sealing tag over Nagato's eyes, temporarily sealing Rinnegan's powers.
"Kurama, I'll leave it to you!"
Hearing this, Kurama immediately mobilized Chakra to wrap around Nagato: "Naruto, start sealing!"
Naruto sealed Nagato with the sealing technique that Kushina taught him. And then immediately ran to Sasuke.
……
At this point, Sasuke gradually fell into a bitter fight during his fight with Kabuto.
Kabuto's fighting style is somewhat restricted. Therefore, Sasuke relies on Sage Mode to strengthen his senses. However, Kabuto uses Sage Mode: White Rage Technique* over time. It is used to stimulate Sasuke and weaken his Mangekyo. [* TL Note : The Sage's Art: The White Rage Technique is a senjutsu used by those who have studied at Ryūchi Cave and mastered Sage Transformation. After forming the necessary hand seals, the user expels a dragon-like entity from their mouth that carries an orb in its left front claw. As the dragon tightly coils itself around the orb, it releases both blinding light and deafening sound by making the air oscillate.]
Moreover, he knew that Sasuke couldn't kill him. —What's more important was that Sasuke's eyes were blocked with a film in front of his eyes, and Sasuke's illusion was also ineffective against him.
"Uchiha Sasuke, you don't have any chance at all. It was a mistake that you came to me."
The Chakra scalpel that was in the pocket of the pharmacist slashed Sasuke's right hand. —Because of the White Rage technique, Sasuke couldn't use Susanoo for a while. The Chakra scalpel directly cut the meridian of Sasuke's right hand.
When Kabuto was about to finish Sasuke, he suddenly felt that Naruto's Chakra was coming toward him. Kabuto frowned and chose to retreat. Only then did he realize that Nagato had been sealed by Naruto.
"As expected, it's useless."
…….
Naruto rushed to Sasuke's side and found that Sasuke's right hand had lost the ability to move. He quickly took out the Healing Tag and stuck it on Sasuke's arm.
"Naruto, when I was fighting just now, I discovered that this guy's eyes were covered by a film. So if I can figure out a way to remove the film that blocks his vision, I can control him with Genjutsu."
Hearing this, Naruto directly asked Kurama, "Film? Kurama, did you notice anything?"
"Well, I found out just now."
"Then, do you have any idea, Kurama?"
Kyuubi pondered, "Well… To get rid of the film in front of his eyes, you just have to make immobilized him."
"I have two ideas. One: You summon the two toads of Mount Myoboku and let them use voice Genjutsu to restrict him. Or, two: to directly use Bijuu and break his limbs.
"However, I suggest you choose the first option. You can't perfectly control the power of Bijuu yet. There's a chance that you could kill him directly."
