"What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
Konan stormed out from behind the pile of trash, smacking Ye Liang hard on the back. It was meant to show anger, but to Ye Liang, it almost felt like playful teasing.
"Shouldn't I be the one asking that question?"
Ye Liang dragged Nagato back behind the trash pile, covering him with nearby rubble, then half-sat, half-leaning against the cave wall.
"You actually have the nerve to misuse the power of the dead? Don't you realize that if the Death Qi of Yomi leaks out, it will bring total devastation to the area we live in now!
We might be fine, but ordinary people could fall victim to the influence of these spirits and eventually become half-human, half-beast monsters!"
Ye Liang wasn't joking this time.
The fallen ones of the Yomi World had gone mad precisely because of the Death Qi.
"Monsters?!" Konan stared blankly at Ye Liang.
She, like the others, didn't understand what he meant—only knowing it was a special kind of energy.
Black Zetsu wanted to use it to resurrect someone important.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, this is our business, not yours."
"Not my problem?" Ye Liang's expression suddenly twisted oddly, his pupils flickering as his [Mangekyo Sharingan] activated!
Konan's face went numb.
She saw a small village—happy villagers living peaceful lives, with men farming and women weaving.
It was an illusion created by the Bloodline Eye!
Since they wouldn't listen, they'd just have to witness the consequences themselves!
Then everything changed!
A massive group of maddened monsters burst into the village from outside, ignoring any villagers who came out to investigate and immediately lunging at the nearest living beings!
They tore into the villagers' bodies, smashed their skulls in—doing whatever gave them twisted pleasure!
Konan witnessed firsthand as one villager was disemboweled—the bloody organs spilling all over the ground. Her delicate frame trembled violently, and she snapped out of the illusion.
"Well? Is it still none of your concern?!"
Konan remained silent.
What Ye Liang showed her must have been the consequence of the Death Qi leaking.
"I had no idea! I never knew this energy could cause such effects. Black Zetsu only told me it was for reviving someone very important."
"Someone very important? Who?"
"Supposedly… his mother."
!!!
Ye Liang's pupils constricted slightly!
He hadn't expected Black Zetsu to try resurrecting Kaguya Hime so soon—to oppose him directly!
"Even more reason we can't let him succeed. The person he wants to revive isn't even from here—she's nothing but a calamity!
If he succeeds, the entire world will suffer."
Ye Liang stood up and began walking toward the bottomless pit. "I'm not expecting much from you. Just please stay out of my way."
Konan watched him from behind.
Her gaze wavered—it was clear Ye Liang's words had deeply shaken her.
After a long silence, she suddenly tightened her fist. "Tell me what I can do. I'm helping you."
"Ye Liang was trying to figure out how to destroy the Phantom Dragon Nine Seals Jutsu.
This ancient sealing technique held immense energy. If broken through forcefully, it would definitely trigger a violent chain reaction! Failing to destroy it was a minor problem; if the Death Qi Orb that carried the energy were damaged, real disaster would follow!
"You just guard by the door and warn me if anyone approaches," he promised.
Konan's expression shifted slightly but she still made her way toward the doorway.
Ye Liang continued his exploration.
He reached out and touched the patterns of the Phantom Dragon Nine Seals Jutsu.
Between the Yomi Guide and the orb floated a strand of Dark Aura channeled through the Phantom Dragon Nine Seals Jutsu.
"This must be the line that channels the Death Qi!"
Ye Liang stretched out his hand and snapped this thread carrying the Death Qi. The flow of Yomi's Death Qi halted! He then floated beneath the Spatial Portal, grasped the Death Qi Orb, and activated his command!
The orb vanished!
It had been transported into his System Space.
Ye Liang descended into the bottomless pit.
By now, the Yomi Guide was extremely weak. Bound by the Phantom Dragon Nine Seals Jutsu, not only had it received no energy replenishment, its strength was continuously being drained.
What a pitiful state it had fallen into.
Ye Liang closed his eyes and swiftly ended its suffering with his Chaotic Cursed Blade! As he turned to leave, a shocking pressure surged in from outside.
"Black Zetsu is here! You must leave quickly." Konan nervously rushed back inside.
"Black Zetsu? Perfect timing! Let him come!"
These people were all previous losers under his hands; Ye Liang wouldn't flinch from them at all. Seeing Ye Liang showed no signs of retreating, Konan quietly moved aside and hid herself.
A group of figures approached from outside the door!
It was Black Zetsu, Deidara, and Kisame!
"Ye Liang! Again you! We've avoided you for so long already, why do you keep interfering with us again and again!"
"You've committed wrongdoings! Those wrongs must be stopped!"
"Wrongdoings? What exactly did we do wrong? Is reviving our own mother a wrongdoing?"
"Reviving your mother itself isn't wrong, but bringing back an evil person certainly is!"
"Evil? Are you saying my mother is evil! Do you even know her! Understand her! You dare call her evil just like that! In the end, isn't everything decided by powerful people like you?
What can someone like me, who isn't even considered human, possibly say!" Black Zetsu roared furiously!
Upon entering and seeing Konan standing aside, he understood immediately.
The Yomi World was sealed shut, the Death Qi Orb was gone—everything had failed! All his schemes across these years—ruined in an instant by someone who suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
Ye Liang didn't feel like talking with Black Zetsu for now.
Princess Kaguya wasn't a good person at all.
Although her story was tragic, how many lives had she taken? To resist the invasion of Kaguya's World, she transformed countless humans into White Zetsu!
To keep her power, she killed every native who refused to obey her!
Such actions reminded Ye Liang of someone instantly.
Someone whose identity remained completely unknown even till today!
[Fake Ye Liang]!"
At first, Fake Ye Liang had also followed Kaguya Hime's old path. To resist the invasion from Kaguya's World, he chose to use White Zetsu to fight back as well!
Fake Ye Liang, however, took it a step further! He enhanced the White Zetsu and even planned to convert everyone in the Naruto world into White Zetsu!
Even Hinata and her allies wouldn't be spared!
"What's the point of saying all that now? You've already failed," Ye Liang said coldly.
He lifted his blade and prepared to strike down the Black Zetsu before him.
Suddenly, something changed!
Ye Liang suddenly felt [System Space] trembling, and a nauseating palpitation surged through his mind!
"What's going on? System!"
