Naruto: Unlocking Kaido Template

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."

Black lightning danced around the dragon like living chains. The surrounding air grew hot—so hot that even their undead bodies began to crack from the temperature.

Inside the crystal barrier, a thick mist gathered, and a massive shell materialized. The sudden drop in temperature seemed like a temporary fix, but the heat would soon return, and the same deterioration would begin again.

Secretly, the Kage welcomed this. None of them wanted to be puppets forever. But Kabuto, hidden in the shadows, wasn't about to just let them go. Mu clasped his hands together, gathering a brilliant white light between them. Hyuga Chinano instantly felt the danger.

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique (Jinton: Genkai Hakuri no Jutsu)... If I reinforce it with Armament Haki, maybe I can resist..."

Faced with a technique capable of erasing anything, Zixu responded in a way that stunned everyone—Kabuto included. This guy really didn't play by the rules.

Ink-black metal covered his tail. As the disintegration beam advanced, erasing even the air itself, Zixu didn't dodge. He swung his dragon tail with immense force.

"He's actually planning to meet Dust Release head-on!?" Onoki, watching from outside, couldn't believe it. Dust Release, a kekkei tōta more advanced than any bloodline limit, was known to disintegrate everything. No physical body should survive that.

And it almost worked. When the white light struck the tail, sparks erupted. The black coating began to peel away, and Dust Release seemed to gain the upper hand.

But then, black lightning surged around the tail, completely reversing the tide. The Iron Tail slammed down with terrifying force, scattering the white light.

While the world was still processing the fact that Dust Release had been shattered, Zixu charged in, his entire dragon body following.

"That was intense," he muttered. There was a gash on his tail, and one of his scales had been burned off, but it was a minor wound.

Azure lightning sparked around the Third Raikage. He extended one finger—no hesitation. If someone could tank Dust Release, testing them was pointless. He'd go all in.

"Be careful, that finger strike—One-Finger Nukite (Ippon Nukite)—packs insane power..."

Guided by the mist, Hozuki Gengetsu had vanished from sight. Meanwhile, a child-like clone resembling him was expanding and rushing toward Hyuga Chinano. Mu was already preparing a second Dust Release. With three simultaneous threats, the pressure was mounting.

Golden chains exploded in the air, black flames and lightning intertwined, and the winds stirred by Zixu darkened, touched by malevolent power. Facing four Kage at once was no joke.

Crimson magma began coating the dragon's body. His size grew rapidly. Crimson crystals shattered in every direction, and fine crystal dust floated through the battlefield. Zixu's dragon body shattered the crystal barrier.

Magma still dripping from his form, Zixu surged toward the Kage.

Everything before this? Just warm-up. One-Finger Nukite? The Third Raikage couldn't even land a hit. Steam Explosion (Shōkatsuryoku no Jutsu)? Gengetsu's clone melted on contact. Dust Release? It only dissolved the outer layer of magma—completely ineffective.

On the other side, Rasa wanted to assist, but after seeing the situation, he knew he'd be useless. So he chose instead to settle the score with his son—father versus son, as it should be.

The sand near the magma turned to shimmering glass. Zixu's massive body swept by, trying to drag the Kage into the molten storm. Most dodged him—after all, they were Kage. Only the Third Raikage remained unmoved.

Back in life, he was called the strongest shield and one of the era's top fighters. Seeing Zixu tank Dust Release changed his understanding of physical limits.

"This... this is the limit of the physical body..." he muttered, just as magma consumed him. When he reappeared, he was sealed inside a lava statue matching his own size.

The Third Raikage was gone. The other Kage looked troubled. He could've dodged—easily—but for some reason, he didn't. Watching the magma dragon still circling the battlefield, Kabuto clicked his tongue. That bastard again... Always ruining his carefully laid plans.

The White Zetsu army had nearly been wiped out. Only the revived Kage remained.

The tide had turned.
