Chapter 226
The massive puppet didn't stop moving. The mecha trembled as two long swords were drawn into its hands. Looking down at the White Zetsu, who looked like ants beneath its feet, the puppet let out a blast of exhaust gas, scattering them instantly. Even the surrounding confused civilians were blown back. However, the puppet had deliberately held back its power—no one was seriously injured.
The formation of the resurrected Kage was disrupted by the blast. Zixu leapt down with Gaara and landed in front of the four Kage.
"Gaara, that guy's your old man, right? I'll leave him to you. I'll handle the rest," Zixu said, flexing his fingers. The previous battle hadn't worn him out; on the contrary, he felt stronger than ever. It was like a beast inside him was slowly awakening.
From the Roran puppet, a barrage of laser missiles fired toward the ground. Meanwhile, the sniper team stationed in Sky City opened fire, accurately targeting and eliminating the visible White Zetsu. But those hidden among the crowd? They could only pray for luck.
Without a word, Zixu rushed forward, surprising the resurrected Kage. Was he really planning to face them all by himself?
Rasa locked eyes with Gaara. The sand around Gaara exploded, forming sand spears in the air. He didn't need to say anything. He would return every ounce of pain his father had once given him.
As Zixu charged the other three Kage, his body underwent a dramatic transformation. A massive green dragon burst forth, sweeping across the battlefield. Black electric flames surged out, quickly engulfing the area. A crystal barrier formed around them, sealing the space and isolating the battlefield.
"Which tailed beast is that? I don't recall anything like it," one of the Kage muttered. Though they were under Impure World Reincarnation (Edo Tensei), their minds remained conscious.
"I don't know," said Mu, shaking his head. "But it's strong. Really strong."
