Chapter 425: Immortal of Longdi Cave

A few minutes later, Bai Ye dragged the unconscious Kirabi back to the Outer Golem.

Killer Bee is very powerful and is one of the best among all the Chuuriki. In Bai Ye's impression, the only ninja who can surpass Killer Bee is the sixteen-year-old Naruto who has mastered the Nine-Tails mode.

However, Naruto is only thirteen years old now, and his strength is far less than that of the four warriors in the original time and space.

From this point of view, Killer Bee is actually the strongest Jinchūriki in the ninja world, no doubt about it.

However, no matter how strong Killer Bee is, he has no ability to resist the Sharingan and Wood Release. After using Wood Release to control the body of the Eight-Tails and the Sharingan to control Killer Bee's mind.

Kirabi was easily defeated and didn't even have the chance to use his tentacle clones to escape.

Nagato was busy extracting the tailed beasts from Naruto and Gaara. When he saw Byakuya returning with Killer Bee, he said expressionlessly:

"Bai Ye, wait a moment. The Nine-Tails in Naruto's body is too powerful. It will take half a day to extract it and seal it into the Outer Path Demon Statue."

Bai Ye nodded and didn't urge Nagato.

Absorbing the tailed beast itself is an extremely long process. In the original time and space, several Kage-level powerhouses joined forces to perform the sealing technique "Phantom Dragon Nine Sealings", and it took several days to complete the seal.

Although Bai Ye could shorten the sealing time by taking action, he did not do so. Instead, he stayed where he was and waited silently. He did not want to expose his full strength.

With his perception ability, creatures like White Zetsu naturally have nowhere to hide.

But his enemies are not just Uchiha Madara, Obito and Black Zetsu, but also the almighty Six Paths Sage and the mysterious Otsutsuki lurking in the ninja world?
Although there are no signs of them coming out yet, we still need to be cautious in everything we do.

As a mastermind hiding behind the ninja world, he would be laughed at if he failed. He doesn't want to become the laughing stock of the ninja world.

Nagato used the sealing technique: Phantom Dragon Nine Sealings while observing Bai Ye.

In the eyes of Uchiha Madara and the masked man, he was actually being controlled by Byakuya, but he knew in his heart that Byakuya did not actually have any control over him, nor did he restrict his Rinnegan.

He can leave here anytime he wants.

But he did not leave. He still believed in Bai Ye's judgment as always. If Bai Ye really coveted the Rinnegan, he would have taken action against him long ago and would not have waited until today.

Moreover, he saw that the Akatsuki organization and the Hidden Rain Village were getting better day by day.

It is not a bad thing to bring the entire ninja world into the sphere of influence of Byakuya and Akatsuki, at least that is what he thinks.

After a while, Bai Ye received a message from Yakushi Kabuto.

After taking a look at the content of the message, Bai Ye stood up and walked towards Nagato, and began to assist Nagato in completing the sealing technique, the Nine Sealings of the Phantom Dragon.

With the addition of Bai Ye, the speed of sealing the tailed beast's chakra increased several times.

Not long after, the tailed beasts in Naruto, Gaara and Killer Bee were sealed into the Outer Path Statue, and the Outer Path Statue, which had been sleeping for a long time, slowly opened its eyes.

The Outer Path Demon Statue, which has absorbed most of the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, has reached the brink of transformation.

All Bai Ye needs to do is seal the remaining half of the Nine-Tails into the body of the Outer Statue, and the Outer Statue will be able to wake up completely and transform into the Ten-Tails.

But Bai Ye did not do so. Instead, he patted Nagato on the shoulder and said, "Nagato, we should rush to the battlefield of the coalition forces and let the ninja world feel the power of the Ten-Tails."

Nagato had no objection to this. He glanced at Naruto and the others on the ground and said hesitantly, "Bai Ye, what should we do with Naruto and Gaara? Should we just leave them here?"

Bai Ye was somewhat helpless about Nagato's womanizing, and said, "Don't worry, I said I won't harm their lives. The remaining tailed beast chakra in their bodies is enough for them to sustain for a few hours."

"In a few hours, someone will arrive here and take over for us."

After hearing this, Nagato followed Bai Ye and left. As long as the two of them left this place, they could use the summoning technique to take the Outer Path Statue away at any time.

Before leaving, Bai Ye deliberately glanced at Naruto and the sky in the distance.

He didn't dare to kill Naruto at this time. Naruto not only belonged to the Akatsuki organization, but was also a valuable tool for him to improve his strength. Naruto was also the reincarnation of Ashura. What if he attracted the attention of the Six Paths Sage at this moment?
Although the Six Paths Sage's power was used to seal Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the remaining power was considerable, and it would take some effort for him to deal with it at this moment.

Naruto, whose tailed beast was extracted, also woke up at this time, glanced at Bai Ye's back, and fell asleep again.

Byakuya and Nagato seemed to be gone, but he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

……

A few hours later, the cave where the Outer Golem was once stored welcomed an uninvited guest.

The uninvited guests were none other than Orochimaru and his party. After Konoha completed the intelligence analysis, they came here under the leadership of the First and Second Generation Hokage.

According to the Second Hokage, they are ninjas who have been resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation.

Even if he reaches the frontal battlefield, he may not be a match for Byakuya and Uchiha Madara. He must act as a surprise force and prevent the Ten-Tails from resurrecting before the Outer Path Demon Statue hunts all the tailed beasts and becomes the Ten-Tails.

Therefore, after the first Hokage sensed the chakra fluctuations here, they hurriedly arrived here.

After going deep into the underground cave, the group saw the scene after the fight between Bai Ye and Jinchūriki. Sensing the remaining chakra here, the first generation Hokage said seriously:

"I sensed the auras of the Nine-Tails, Eight-Tails, and One-Tails, as well as an even more powerful aura. According to my speculation, this person's chakra is not inferior to mine."

"That chakra should belong to Bai Ye."

Jiraiya stood up, frowned and said: "Only Byakuya has the strength to defeat three Jinchūriki, no one else, including the masked man, can do it."

Orochimaru thought for a moment, then said, "I didn't expect that Byakuya-kun has improved a lot in just a few years. It seems that if he catches me in this operation, I won't be able to keep even one clone."

The Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru and said with deep sorrow: "Orochimaru, if you had returned to Konoha earlier and reported these things to me earlier, Bai Ye might not have been able to achieve success."

Orochimaru glanced at the Third Hokage, snorted coldly and said:
"Old man, I'm not a ninja of Konoha yet, so don't order me around in that tone. And if I hadn't learned that Byakuya and the masked man wanted to destroy the world, I would still be in the Akatsuki organization."

"Besides, old man, don't forget that you are a loser."

"Orochimaru, old man."

Jiraiya quickly stepped out to act as a peacemaker and said, "We are all in the same boat now, so let's not fight among ourselves."

The first Hokage also quickly said: "Little Jiraiya is right, there are always some conflicts between teachers and students. Didn't Tobirama and I have many conflicts in the past? And Tobirama also likes to do experiments."

"Brother..." The Second Hokage lowered his voice when he heard this.

"I am different from Orochimaru. I have never attacked the ninjas in the village. The subjects of my experiments are all people who deserve to die, and the purpose of the experiments is for the development of Konoha."

Orochimaru smiled noncommittally and did not step out to expose Tobirama. It was hard to say how many of Tobirama's experimental subjects deserved to die, but judging from the forbidden techniques developed by Tobirama, this man had killed as many people as he did.

At this time, Shisui and the Fourth Hokage came over and said:
"Everyone, stop arguing. We just found many weak life reactions in the ruins. They should be the Jinchūriki who were extracted from the tailed beasts, including Naruto..."

At this point, the Fourth Hokage's face was filled with disappointment.

He knew that Naruto was his son, and he had promised Kushina to protect Naruto, but when he saw Naruto, Naruto, like Kushina back then, had his tailed beast pulled out of him and was in critical condition.

After hearing this, several people began to sense chakra and dig on the spot.

Dozens of seconds later, several people dug out Naruto, Killer Bee and Gaara from the ground. Looking at Naruto and the others lying on the ground and dying, their faces did not look good.

The fact that Naruto and the other two appeared here in such a weak state could only prove that Bai Ye had succeeded.

At this point, all the tailed beasts fell into the hands of Byakuya and Uchiha Madara. In addition to Uchiha Madara and Byakuya, they also had to deal with the Ten-Tails.

Squatting on the ground and caressing Naruto's body, the Fourth Hokage looked at the First and Second Hokage with a sad face and asked: "First and Second Hokage, is there any way you can save Naruto?"

The first Hokage shook his head: "If it was when he was alive, he might have been able to save Naruto and the others by injecting a large amount of life force, but now I am just an Impure World Body."

The Second Hokage also shook his head: "I can't do anything, but Orochimaru should have a way. You might as well listen to Orochimaru's advice."

The Fourth Hokage quickly looked at Orochimaru, who hesitated for a moment and said:
"Minato, there are ways to revive Naruto. Once they are dead, I can perform the Impure World Reincarnation Technique."

"But you know that the Impure World Reincarnation is just a mirage after all."

The Fourth Hokage certainly knows the Impure World Reincarnation technique. He is now in a state of Impure World Reincarnation, but Impure World Reincarnation is not the resurrection he wants.

Although the Impure World Reincarnation can revive the dead, the soul cannot be exposed for a long time.

His soul is now slowly collapsing, and in just a few months, he will completely disappear from the ninja world.

The Fourth Hokage looked at Shisui and Jiraiya again, and the two of them still shook their heads.

None of them had the ability to save Naruto and the others.

At this time, the taciturn pharmacist said:

"My Lords, I have learned a few magic techniques to replenish vitality, but I cannot guarantee that I can save them 100%."

Hearing this, all the Hokage and Jiraiya looked at Kabuto Yakushi.

Even Orochimaru and Shisui looked at Kabuto with suspicion and disbelief.

After a moment, the Second Hokage stared at Kabuto Yakushi and said, "Senjutsu, do you mean that you, like your elder brother, have mastered the Sage Mode? Isn't that an ability that only very few people in the ninja world can master?"

Jiraiya interrupted at this time: "Second-generation master, in fact, Minato and I also master the Sage Mode, but according to my understanding, the sage mode should not have the ability to save people."

Yakushidou adjusted his glasses and said, "Just because there is no such thing in Myoboku Mountain doesn't mean that Ryuchidong is not good. How can those toads who only know how to eat insects know the strength of Ryuchidong?"

Jiraiya's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Each holy land specializes in different magical arts. Maybe Longdi Cave is good at medical magical arts.

The Fourth Hokage said nervously, "Mr. Yakushi Kabuto, Naruto and the others are in your care. When will you start treating Naruto?"

"Right now..."

Kabuto Yakushi took off his glasses and cloak, revealing his scaly skin.

After passing the ultimate test in the Ryuchi Cave, he has transformed from a snake into a 'dragon' and has become the kind of ninja that Lord Byakuya needs.

After Kabuto Yakushi displayed the Sage Mode, everyone present felt that Kabuto Yakushi had become different.

Unlike Jiraiya and the Fourth Hokage who were in Sage Mode and showed off their sharpness, Kabuto Yakushi's presence was reduced after entering Sage Mode.

In other words, Kabuto Yakushi has almost become one with the earth.

After seeing this scene, the Second Hokage frowned, looked at Orochimaru and Shisui not far away, and fell into deep thought.

No wonder Orochimaru and Shisui dared to "resurrect" themselves and their elder brother at 90% of their peak strength.

It turns out that he has a perfect immortal as a helper. Although the perfect immortal's strength is not as good as that of the eldest brother, if he were to deal with it himself when he was alive, there might be a risk of failure.

It’s a pity that these people don’t understand that Big Brother’s strength is not on the same level as theirs.

However, this kid Kabuto Yakushi was very good at hiding, and I almost ignored his existence. Could such a ninja really be Orochimaru's subordinate?

After entering the Sage Mode, Kabuto Yakushi's eyes quickly swept over the first and second generations.

In this state, he was able to see through the Second Hokage, but he still couldn't see through the First Hokage. Even if he added all the natural energy within a few kilometers around him, he was still not as good as the First Hokage in terms of chakra.

No wonder Lord Bai Ye regards the first generation of Hokage as an enemy.

Recovering his gradually scattered thoughts, Kabuto Yakushi came to Naruto and the others and began to use the medical methods taught by Byakuya.

That’s right, rescuing Naruto was also an order from Lord Byakuya.

Although Lord Bai Ye extracted the Nine-Tailed Fox from Naruto's body, he seemed not to want to see Naruto die, so he specifically told him how to replenish his vitality and the Yang Release mark in his body.

If not, even as the Sage of the Ryuchidong, he would not be able to save the Jinchūriki who was about to die.

After mobilizing the Yang Release Seal, a large amount of vitality poured from his palm into Naruto's body, pulling Naruto back from the brink of death, and the wounds on his body healed in an instant.

After rescuing Naruto, Kabuto Yakushi looked at Gaara and Killer Bee.

Gaara is a subordinate of Scorpion, a member of the organization, so I must provide rescue, but it is different for Killer Bee.

However, Kirabi is in very good condition and does not seem to be in danger of death.

Since I have saved Naruto and Gaara, in order to avoid the risk of being exposed, I should rescue Killer Bee as well.

Thinking of this, Kabuto Yakushi poured the remaining Yang Release Chakra into Gaara and Killer Bee's bodies.

After more than ten seconds, the three of them slowly opened their eyes.
