Forcing White Zetsu Out!

"It's no use not responding. I have plenty of ways to force you out." Shunren's lips curled into a cold smile, and then he casually projected a Kunai, drawing a bloody mark on his palm.

"Sizzle~"

When the Bloodthirsty Bead touched the blood, it was like a raging fire doused with oil, releasing an even more dazzling scarlet light. Its ability to absorb blood from Shunren became even stronger, and a large amount of blood overflowed from Shunren's palm and surged toward the Bloodthirsty Bead!

Due to rapid blood loss, Shunren's face began to turn pale.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered.

After a while, Shunren heard a strange cry coming from inside his body.

"Ah! You're crazy..."

Then, a layer of white, plant fiber-like substance slowly seeped out from Shunren's skin!

As the Bloodthirsty Bead, the white matter continuously emerged from Shunren's body, like a parasite fleeing.

Finally, the white thing completely detached from Shunren's body, scattered on the ground, and turned into a humanoid plant— the White Zetsu.

At this moment, White Zetsu seemed to have been stripped of most of its life force, lying limp on the ground like a pile of mud, with only its arms and head remaining. Its lower body had turned into a lump of mush, and it could no longer even maintain a human form.

"Wait a minute, I was sent by Lord Madara..." Seemingly sensing Shunren's murderous intent, White Zetsu hurriedly begged for mercy.

However, Shunren was too lazy to waste words with him and directly slammed the Bloodthirsty Bead in his hand into White Zetsu's head.

White Zetsu itself doesn't possess much combat power, but White Zetsu can absorb other people's Chakra and completely convert it into the same Chakra through its Yang Release power. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, White Zetsu used this ability to infiltrate the Allied Forces and fight.

The Bloodthirsty Bead can not only absorb essence and blood, but also devour life. The vigorous life energy in White Zetsu's body was instantly devoured and turned into a pile of white dust scattered on the ground.

At the same time Bloodthirsty Bead fed back some of the energy it had absorbed to Shunren, which completely restored the essence and blood he had lost when he used the Bloodthirsty Bead, and even slightly enhanced Shunren's physical strength.

The Bloodthirsty Bead is considered an evil object because it plunders the lives of others to strengthen itself!

White Zetsu was sent by Madara to monitor his existence. Since he was an enemy, it was not unreasonable for Shunren to treat him with ruthless methods.

"Crack~"

After eliminating the time bomb attached to his body, Shunren dispelled his Yin Release, clenched his fist, and crushed the Bloodthirsty Bead.

"Hong, have you arrived?"

"Things that the eyes cannot see seem to be perceived more acutely."

Holding the food box as a gesture of goodwill, Hong entered Shunren's hospital room.

Shunren smiled slightly, "Shouldn't one bring a bouquet of flowers when visiting a sick person?"

"Thump!" Hong slammed the food box onto the table rather rudely, and said indifferently, "Flowers? Is this my style? Of course, if it's for your funeral, as a companion, I'll reluctantly bring you some, how about it?"

"What a cold-hearted fellow, he might never get married!" Shunren joked.

"What was the intention behind uttering such a curse upon a 9-year-old girl?" Hong, outwardly cold but inwardly warm, is quite forgiving towards those she knows well. However, she is also very competitive and won't easily let her words slide. "With such excellent sensory perception, there's no need to worry about permanent blindness."

"The bandages will be removed in three days," Shunren said helplessly, thinking that Hong was obviously concerned about his injury, but she was trying to find out about it in a roundabout way with her sharp tongue. Kids these days are so capricious, even girls.

"I see. That's a real shame. It seems the determined blind ninja from Konoha, despite his physical disability, won't be appearing."

Although he said that, Shunren could feel the smile on the other's face, but unfortunately he couldn't see such a beautiful sight now. Shunren changed the subject, "By the way, how is Teacher Inoichi?"

"..." The smile on her red face froze abruptly. After a moment of silence, she sighed, "Shizune is watching what Inoichi- sensei is saying. Apparently, he's been hit by some extremely vicious Genjutsu, and all the medical-nin in Konoha are helpless. Fortunately, we brought him back in time, and after several days of intensive care, he's managed to save his life. As for whether he'll wake up, that depends on Inoichi- sensei's will..."

"I see..." Shunren paused, realizing that the fact that Inoichi, a member of the Yamanaka Clan, could suffer such a severe injury must have been the work of Madara Uchiha! He used his Dōjutsu to control the Stone Ninja, Jonin, and set up a Genjutsu trap in Kari's brain. Inoichi used a secret technique to invade Kari's brain and immediately fell into the trap.

The Uchiha Clan's Genjutsu is not so easy to break, especially since the caster is Madara Uchiha. Right now, all the medical-nin in Konoha are helpless against Inoichi's mental trauma.

However, Shunren thought of someone who surely had a way to cure Inoichi.

Tsunade, the top medical-nin of Konoha, Shunren I remember from the original story. Kakashi was Tsukuyomi in Itachi's Tsukuyomi and spent more than two weeks in the hospital. It was Tsunade who cured him.

As a top-tier Yamanaka Clan Konoha, the Yamanaka clan, and with Inoichi being their future heir, the Konoha Yamanaka Clan certainly wouldn't let him die. They would definitely try to contact Tsunade, who was wandering outside.

Shunren suddenly remembered that Shizune was taken away from Konoha by Tsunade around this time. Shizune was the niece of Tsunade's lover, Dan Katō. Tsunade did not want Shizune to be involved in the Third Shinobi World War, so she took her away and then taught Shizune all her Medical Ninjutsu.

"Don't worry, Hong, Teacher Inoichi will be fine." Sensing Hong's worry, Shunren reassured her, "Can you come for a walk with me?"

Hong nodded and stepped forward to help Shunren.

However, Shunren possessed Mind's Eye, which allowed him to discern directions.

"I don't need red, I can manage on my own..."

"Stop the technique! Don't waste Chakra on a patient like that!" Kurenai interrupted him, grabbing his shoulder tightly. "I'll help you."

Maintaining a small area of Mind's Eye wouldn't consume much of Shunren's Chakra, but since Hong meant well, Shunren couldn't refuse.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Hong."
