The Sealing Squad of the Shinobi Allied Forces rushed forward while Satori lay on the ground, taking advantage of the opening to release scrolls in preparation for sealing it.
Against enemies that humans cannot contend with through pure strength, sealing is the most effective method.
"Humans! You go too far!!"
Satori let out a loud roar as its muscles swelled. It then flapped its wings, firing feathers like spears; the Sealing Squad members approaching it were instantly turned into pincushions.
Satori was seeing red. Originally, it only intended to capture a few women to quickly finish Ryou's mission.
But these humans were so ungrateful; instead of staying away, they attacked it.
They must be punished!
A Jonin from the Allied Forces shouted in panic, "Retreat quickly! This monster can still move!"
Mifune also shouted for the Allied Shinobi to fall back. A monster like Satori was simply not something ordinary Shinobi could handle.
Even speed-type Jonin couldn't even catch its exhaust fumes.
They could only rely on—Duy, who had opened the Eight Gates!
Duy had Shizune treat Guy, then leaped toward Satori, instantly opening the Gate of Wonder in mid-air.
Opening the seventh Gate of Wonder had no side effects for Duy's Edo Tensei body, allowing him to keep it open constantly.
The Edo Tensei body contains a chakra pathway system.
In the original work, Itachi released Tsukuyomi and the Second Mizukage performed a summoning, both of which involved blood.
Where there is blood, there are blood vessels; where there are blood vessels, there is internal circulation—the internal organs and the chakra pathway system.
It's just that these aren't real, but rather simulated by the Edo Tensei.
A living person is the vessel, the soul is the core, and the mechanism of Edo Tensei reconstructs the living vessel into the state the deceased was in during life.
However, when an Edo Tensei body is damaged, it restores itself in the form of paper.
The chakra of an Edo Tensei body is not infinite, but it never runs dry.
Their chakra is refined by the Edo Tensei cells. Performing large-scale, high-chakra techniques will drain the cells dry.
But since the Edo Tensei body is already dead, they won't die again, so they won't die even if their chakra is exhausted.
When cellular energy is depleted, it begins to replenish under the Edo Tensei mechanism, much like recovering physical strength.
The Edo Tensei body is constantly recovering its strength, so it looks like infinite chakra.
In fact, it's no different from infinite chakra, but this chakra is like water in a pipe; the Shinobi's strength depends on the size of the pipe.
He cannot release an infinite amount of water all at once.
In summary, an Edo Tensei body will have a delay after performing large-scale Ninjutsu, such as when the chakra in the body is drained in an instant.
At this time, the Edo Tensei body must enter a cooldown to recover chakra.
Otherwise, if Madara kept performing Super Shinra Tensei, he could just flatten the Shinobi World. Who could possibly be his opponent?
However, this cooldown period is very short. Duy, having opened the Gate of Wonder, only needed to stand in place for a dozen breaths to recover.
At this moment, his entire body was burning with blue steam, turning into a blue flash that charged toward Satori like a lonely warrior.
Satori was in a weakened state; with one wing destroyed, it couldn't even fly.
But Satori has a mechanism: it can absorb negative emotions to provide itself with chakra.
It violently absorbed the negative emotions of the Shinobi within the Allied Forces.
Negative emotion is also a type of energy, a kind of dark chakra.
The concept of dark chakra was mentioned in the movie 'Bonds'; it is an evil energy condensed from negative emotions.
The bizarre monster Reibi from the Land of Sky feeds on negative emotions.
Negative emotions can provide energy to Satori.
As long as one is human, there will be darkness hidden deep within their heart.
Sometimes, a perfectly normal person seeing a cute baby or a pet will have an internal urge to kill it for pleasure.
This is not strange! And don't feel bad about it.
In psychology, this is called 'cute aggression'—the urge to squeeze, eat, or destroy something because it's too cute.
The reason is that the object is too cute, the emotion is too overwhelming, and the brain needs to balance it out.
But this balance is the darkness that naturally exists in humans; the human heart is bloodthirsty.
Some peaceful people always look forward to rivers of blood in their hearts!
Satori was born from human malice.
One thought of delusion, struggling in the darkness; one thought of enlightenment, reborn in the light.
Born with Satori, moving with Satori, ending with Satori.
The more human malice there is, the stronger it becomes, and Shinobi is a profession accompanied by war and tragedy.
Every Shinobi has more or less lost loved ones and has blood on their hands.
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.
When you come into contact with darkness, you inevitably become darkness.
The Nine-Tails has a setting as a collection of hatred, the hatred of the world itself.
And the concept of Satori is even broader than the Nine-Tails; it is malice itself.
Satori activated Malice Devour; as long as the Shinobi in the Allied Forces had darkness in their hearts, their malice was devoured by Satori.
Countless negative energy merged into Satori's body. Instantly, Satori's severed wing regenerated at high speed, and its demonic body, injured by the shockwave of the Daytime Tiger, returned to its original state.
On top of its original state, it became more violent, more hideous, and more terrifying.
The logistics Shinobi of the Allied Forces were so terrified upon seeing Satori that they collapsed and vomited all over the ground.
Gamabunta shouted, "Everyone stay away from Satori! It can absorb your malice to recover from its injuries!"
"Retreat, fall back!"
Mifune and the Allied Jonin commanded the Shinobi Allied Forces to retreat, leaving the battlefield to Duy and Satori.
This was already a battle beyond the scale of ordinary Shinobi!
Duy kicked out like a blue flash, his speed exceeding the speed of sound and creating an air explosion.
The air currents crushed the atmosphere, and the screeching was deafening.
Duy didn't dare get close to the Shinobi of the Allied Forces; this kind of air explosion could tear surrounding people into dust.
In reality, if an ordinary person gets close to a supersonic fighter, their eardrums will instantly rupture and their inner ear will be destroyed.
In severe cases, lung hemorrhaging and blood vessel bursts can lead to immediate shock and death.
Satori couldn't use its mind-reading mechanism to see through Duy, so it used its stats, which were comparable to a Tailed Beast, to fight Duy head-on.
Its long arms bulged with muscle, and its claws clenched into a fist to meet Duy's hero flying kick.
A fist and a foot collided violently.
BOOM—
A loud noise suddenly exploded, and a violent air current burst out from the center of their clash.
Shockwaves swept out layer by layer, the ground shook violently, and all the gravel and dust were blown away by the gale, the roar echoing everywhere.
Every inch of air roared and vibrated violently under the collision of immense force.
The Shinobi Allied Forces could only hide far away from the battle between Duy and Satori.
"Such a battle?!"
Black and White Zetsu watched with a solemn expression; just the clash of Taijutsu had such momentum.
Could Madara do it?
No!
Madara is not a Taijutsu Shinobi!
A Madara who hasn't become Six Paths level might be blown apart by a single punch from Duy!
But Madara could split Duy apart with a single slash after opening Susanoo.
The strong in the Naruto world don't develop comprehensively; they all bloom in different ways, with gods and men running rampant.
Those with very strong Taijutsu fail in Ninjutsu, and those with very strong Ninjutsu have fragile bodies.
On Ryou's side.
Sasori was controlling the Third Kazekage and Rasa to battle the Uchiha Clan.
Sasori is quite a counter to the Uchiha Clan.
Because Genjutsu is useless against puppets, and Sasori's own Genjutsu resistance is very high; plus, the spores from Ryou in his body can release him from Genjutsu at any time.
The Magnet Release of the Third Kazekage and Rasa also counters the Uchiha's Fire Release.
When iron is heated and turns red, its power becomes even greater.
Sasori's regeneration core controlled both the Third Kazekage and Rasa simultaneously.
The Magnet Release performed by the two puppets chased and attacked the Shinobi of the Uchiha Clan's Police Force.
Furthermore, Sasori also has poison and can summon Hanzo's Summoned Beast, Ibuse.
Ryou felt it was a waste for Salamander Ibuse to follow Fish Ball, so he had Sasori sign a contract with Ibuse as well.
Sasori summoned Ibuse and had it release a poisonous mist around his main body, preventing the Uchiha Clan from getting close.
Salamander Ibuse and two Magnet Release Kazekage.
Ryou didn't know how the Uchiha Clan was supposed to win.
Unless it was Fugaku's Mangekyo Sharingan!
But even if Fugaku used the Mangekyo and summoned Susanoo, it would be difficult for him to defeat Sasori, who possessed two Magnet Release Kazekage.
Fugaku had no brothers, so he couldn't unlock the Eternal Mangekyo, and at his age, it was hard to say if his Mangekyo's ocular power had declined.
In the original work, Sasuke was the one whose Mangekyo went blind the fastest.
On one hand, he had to be extravagant all the time; he wouldn't feel comfortable or at ease if he wasn't.
He would open Susanoo and release Amaterasu even to deal with White Zetsu fodder; one can imagine how extravagant he was!
On the other hand, the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan has strong side effects; frequent use leads to a decline in vision.
