Chapter 493: Utterly Defeated
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Kinoshita Tsukasa attacked Nagasawa crazily with a ferocious face. The airwaves raised by every punch could knock down rows of trees, creating deep, thunderous booms.
Kinoshita Tsukasa felt that even if a large mountain stood in front of him, it should be smashed apart by these dense and powerful attacks.
But Nagasawa easily took them, even dubbing himself at the same time.
"Muda muda muda muda!"
"Your fists are truly too weak. If this is the power you spoke of, then it is really disappointing." Nagasawa said with a disdainful face, then slightly increased his strength and instantly sent Kinoshita Tsukasa flying, smashing him fiercely into the ground and creating a huge pit dozens of meters wide.
It was rare to encounter a sandbag that could take a beating, so Nagasawa’s hands were also a little itchy.
At this moment, Kinoshita Tsukasa already looked like a bloody person. There was not a single good piece of flesh on his body. Besides blood, his body was also covered in dust and dirt, looking extremely miserable.
"Damn it, what kind of monster is this?" Kinoshita Tsukasa breathed heavily, completely losing his previous arrogance, his eyes full of terror.
Clearly, Nagasawa’s strength had exceeded his expectations. Even after Lord Jigen had increased his power, he was still defeated as if being toyed with.
Although Kinoshita Tsukasa looked like an old man in his sixties or seventies on the surface, his actual age was not that old, nor did he have any dementia. He had already seen that Nagasawa possessed strength that crushed him, and only had not directly killed him because he wanted to keep him for interrogation.
Thinking of this, although Kinoshita Tsukasa was terrified, a trace of a smile appeared on his face.
Perhaps Nagasawa’s strength was much greater than his, but because of the special nature of Kāma, if he wanted to die, Nagasawa could not stop him.
At this moment, Nagasawa discovered something a little strange. Kinoshita Tsukasa had been beaten so badly by him that logically speaking, he should have long since been lying on the ground and at others’ mercy.
Why was his aura growing stronger and stronger? Its intensity had even reached the level of Seventh Gate Guy, and it was still increasing.
Nagasawa revealed a serious expression. There was no power in this world that came without reason, unless you had some heaven-reaching background, reincarnation of xxx or something. Otherwise, if one wanted to instantly obtain powerful strength, the price paid would probably be life.
There were many forbidden techniques in the ninja world, and the reason forbidden techniques were forbidden techniques was either because the Ninjutsu was too powerful and inhumane, so it was listed as a forbidden technique, or because it caused serious harm to oneself. The Eight Gates was the latter type of forbidden technique.
However, the Eight Gates could also reduce side effects through methods of training the body. For example, the current Guy could open the first four gates as easily as drinking water and eating, and would not cause too much damage.
It was not that Nagasawa was worried he could not win. That was not the case. Rather, he was worried that this guy in front of him, who looked like a sixty-year-old man, could not withstand the side effects of the forbidden technique and suddenly die.
There was a way to directly use Secret Techniques to view a living person’s memories, but the dead were different. Although a corpse could also reveal many things, compared to a living person, it was far worse.
Thinking of this, Nagasawa became serious. He grasped the void, and a katana appeared from the void, tightly held in Nagasawa’s hand.
Since obtaining the Head Captain template, he had not used Ryujin Jakka to fight enemies. Being placed on this Zanpakuto, even after dying, Kinoshita could brag about it down below for a very long time.
Looking at Nagasawa strangely conjure a blade, Kinoshita Tsukasa revealed a cautious expression. At this moment, he no longer thought about defeating Nagasawa. He only wanted to protect the intelligence and not expose the information about the organization and Lord Jigen.
Kinoshita Tsukasa did not wait for his life force to be exhausted either. He erupted with his own Chakra, clenched his right hand into a fist, and directly struck toward his heart. He wanted to commit suicide to keep the secrets.
But just as Kinoshita Tsukasa’s fist had just swung out.
Swish swish!!
Thud. Kinoshita Tsukasa’s two arms were thrown high into the air and smashed onto the ground, stirring up a little dust.
"Ahh!" Kinoshita Tsukasa let out a painful scream and knelt on the ground. He had not seen clearly what had happened just now. In only an instant, his arms had been cut off.
Nagasawa held the sheath in his left hand and the blade in his right, his expression calm as he once again swung out two sword energies.
This time, it was the feet. Nagasawa’s sword energy swept past Kinoshita Tsukasa’s ankles, and flowers of blood bloomed one after another. Kinoshita Tsukasa could not maintain his combat strength and lay on the ground.
At this moment, he had no arms and could not use his arms to attack or commit suicide. His feet being cut also made him lose the ability to stand.
The immense pain made Kinoshita Tsukasa’s mind somewhat unclear. Not fainting directly from the pain already proved his willpower was strong.
Nagasawa inserted Ryujin Jakka back into its sheath and walked in front of Kinoshita Tsukasa.
Sensing Kinoshita Tsukasa’s state, Nagasawa frowned. At this moment, Kinoshita Tsukasa’s physical condition was extremely terrible, but his strength was still continuously increasing. His hair, which had originally still had a little black, had already all become white.
Nagasawa tried to use a sealing technique on Kinoshita Tsukasa, sealing Kinoshita Tsukasa’s Chakra to stop the forbidden technique from operating.
But what Nagasawa had not expected was that his sealing technique actually could not act on Kinoshita Tsukasa’s Chakra at this moment.
"There is something strange. Could it be an irreversible forbidden technique like the Death Gate of the Eight Gates?" Nagasawa began guessing.
Although his sealing technique could not be called number one in the ninja world, it absolutely belonged to the relatively strong batch.
Sensing Nagasawa’s actions, Kinoshita Tsukasa opened his eyes with difficulty, pulled out a smile full of malice, and said, "It’s useless. I am about to die. You will never obtain any intelligence from me."
Just as Kinoshita Tsukasa wanted to admire Nagasawa’s exasperated expression, Nagasawa’s performance disappointed him. Nagasawa did not become anxious as he imagined, but was instead extremely calm.
This made Kinoshita Tsukasa feel a powerless sensation of punching cotton after storing up all his strength.
He asked in incompetent rage, "You are about to not obtain any intelligence now. Are you not anxious?
The intelligence within reach is about to disappear. Are you not angry?"
Nagasawa looked at Kinoshita Tsukasa with an expression like he was looking at a strange person and calmly said, "Why should I be anxious? The one who is going to die is not me. You are the one who puzzles me. You were merely beaten to death by me, yet why do you look like you won?"
Kinoshita Tsukasa: ...
He discovered that he had no words to refute. Nagasawa had not lost. The one who lost was him. Not only had he not completed the mission, he was also going to die here. It could be said that he was utterly defeated.
But how could Kinoshita Tsukasa admit it? He still stubbornly refused and continued talking big.
"I know your heart is actually furious. The dignified Hokage Assistant cannot obtain the intelligence he wants from the mouth of an unknown person like me."
Nagasawa smiled faintly and did not pay attention to Kinoshita Tsukasa. There was no meaning in paying attention to this kind of person. Perhaps if Nagasawa used a full-power Sun Breathing slash, Kinoshita Tsukasa might still have a mouth left and continue stubbornly say "Nagasawa is not big."
Moreover, Kinoshita Tsukasa was about to die. In Nagasawa’s perception, Kinoshita Tsukasa’s life was already like a candle in the wind. Perhaps one second he was still being stubborn, and the next second he would die.
There was nothing he could do about this. Tsunade was not in Konoha right now. However, Nagasawa estimated that even if Tsunade were here, she would have no way to save him, because this was not a question of whether the injury was serious or not, but involved life force.
Tsunade could only bring back spring with miraculous hands, not bring the dead back to life.
"You..." Just as Kinoshita Tsukasa wanted to curse one more time, his eyes suddenly lost color, and his head powerlessly dropped to the ground. He died.
Nagasawa used a scroll to store Kinoshita Tsukasa’s corpse, then returned to Konoha with a Flying Thunder God.
After returning to Konoha, Nagasawa first comforted the two Uchiha, stating on the surface that Kinoshita Tsukasa was a spy and that they had made a contribution. Afterward, Nagasawa returned to the Anbu and let the Anbu members see whether they could obtain any useful information from the corpse.
Previously, Nagasawa still could not be certain whether the person who attacked the Kazekage was from some organization or acting alone.
But now, he could roughly be certain. This was a ninja organization hidden deeply in the ninja world and with very strong strength.
The one who attacked the Kazekage was among the outstanding ones at Kage level, while the one who came to attack Konoha could even reach Super Kage at his limit. Although he used some kind of explosive forbidden technique to have this effect, it was still extremely terrifying.
He just did not know how many people at this level that organization had. Nagasawa guessed that there should not be many, at most two or three. In any case, there should be more than one. It could not be that the leader personally came to attack. Nagasawa did not think Kinoshita Tsukasa looked like a leader either.
There might be a little more ordinary Kage-level members, around five to ten. Since they dared to directly attack the Five Great Ninja Villages, they should have some foundation.
Nagasawa was curious about what purpose this organization had and why they wanted to attack the Five Great Ninja Villages. Were they dissatisfied with the new order established by the Five Great Ninja Villages? Or was it purely the behavior of lunatics?
There were too many lunatics in the ninja world, causing Nagasawa to feel that the probability of purely lunatic behavior was also not small.
However, in the end, the Anbu still did not obtain what Nagasawa wanted to know. They could only confirm that this person should have come from the Land of Rivers.
Nagasawa had several Anbu take Kinoshita Tsukasa’s photo to the Land of Rivers to investigate and see whether they could find some clues.
This was no ordinary ninja organization. They actually dared to come to Konoha to cause trouble, and they also littered, trampled the lawn, and attacked Konoha’s higher-ups. They had to be struck heavily.
At the same time, Nagasawa did not forget to notify the other three great ninja villages that had not been attacked, sending messages telling them to be careful.
After the Anbu finished using the corpse, Nagasawa took back Kinoshita Tsukasa’s corpse and then handed it to Orochimaru.
"This person is a little strange. You can try studying him. Maybe there will be unexpected gains." Nagasawa said to Orochimaru.
At this time, Kinoshita Tsukasa’s body was not covered in tattoos like before. Most of the tattoos on his body had already dissipated. Only the tattoos on his arm still existed.
"Oh, even Nagasawa-kun says it is interesting. Then I am somewhat curious." Orochimaru replied to Nagasawa with his hoarse voice while touching Kinoshita Tsukasa’s corpse.
If it were someone who often stayed with Orochimaru, or someone very familiar with him, they would discover that Orochimaru seemed a little younger than before.
As he spoke, Orochimaru’s eyes suddenly became blood-red, and a dart-like pattern slowly rotated in those blood-colored eyes.
That was right. Orochimaru at this time had already performed Living Corpse Reincarnation once, but the vessel he used for this reincarnation was not someone kidnapped from some corner of the ninja world, but a body he had spent a great amount of time creating himself.
This body of Orochimaru’s was the crystallization of decades of his research. It not only had the powerful life force of Hashirama cells, but also Uchiha bloodline, allowing him to freely activate the Sharingan, without the issue of being unable to close it once opened.
This body had almost burned through all the money Orochimaru had saved. It was completely different from ordinary disposable cultivated humans.
Although he had spent a lot of effort and money, the powerful strength and life force brought by this young body also made Orochimaru very satisfied.
According to Nagasawa, his strength was at the peak of Kage level. If he further cultivated Senjutsu well, relying on the massive Chakra of his body, he would soon possess Super Kage strength.
So besides research, Orochimaru would also cultivate the Breathing Style Senjutsu taught by Nagasawa, and successfully opened up the Snake Breathing most suitable for himself from Water Breathing.
Although his strength had skyrocketed, Orochimaru did not develop more small thoughts, but restrained himself, feeling that continuing to follow Nagasawa like this was also quite good.
Because the further he continued walking, the more he could understand Nagasawa’s terror.
He possessed both the Mangekyo Sharingan of the Uchiha and the powerful Chakra and Wood Release of the Senju clan, plus a body full of forbidden techniques and the unique Secret Techniques he had developed. Logically speaking, he should be very, very strong.
Thus, the swollen Orochimaru said he wanted to have a friendly spar with Nagasawa, even telling Nagasawa not to hold back.
Then there was no then. Nagasawa instantly defeated him before he could even use the Mangekyo or Wood Release.
After Orochimaru carefully reflected, he figured it out. Hashirama cells were very strong, and the Mangekyo was also very strong.
But Hashirama cells were merely cells from Hashirama’s body, and there were even several Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Even if Hashirama himself or Madara came, they might not be able to defeat Nagasawa. How could a portion of their power be compared to Nagasawa?
Since he could not beat him, then he would outlive him. After he died, he would research "Nagasawa cells." This was currently Orochimaru’s thought.
In any case, he had Living Corpse Reincarnation. Although this technique had flaws, it still counted as completing his dream of immortality.
"There does seem to be some issue. His Chakra is very strange. No, it should be said that there is a strange Chakra inside his body." Orochimaru carefully inspected him and discovered the peculiarity.
Although in theory, everyone’s Chakra was slightly different, that level of difference was only like differences in numbers such as 1, 2, 3.
And the strange Chakra inside Kinoshita Tsukasa’s body was not as simple as 123. It was practically @#%. In short, it was very strange.
Nagasawa nodded. He had discovered it during the battle.
"If you research anything, remember to notify me. This person came to attack Konoha, and there should be a ninja organization behind him." Nagasawa said.
Orochimaru nodded.
Seeing that the item had been delivered and the matter explained clearly, Nagasawa directly used Flying Thunder God and left.
He might help with researching Ninjutsu, Secret Techniques, and such, but researching corpses was still Orochimaru’s specialty. It would be fine to let him handle it alone.
The changes in the ninja world were becoming more and more numerous. Because of the great storm he had stirred up, there was basically no possibility of the ninja world returning to the original plot.
