A mother's farewell! The White Zetsu army

Kushina: "Alright, you've all seen the memories from back then."

"As for what to do in the future, that's entirely up to you. After all, I'm just a dead man."

"Naruto, Mom doesn't have much time left. I have a few last words to tell you."

"Don't be a picky eater. You're still young, and you'll grow taller. I look forward to my son growing up to be tall and handsome..."

"Remember to take a hot shower every day, don't stay up late, and make sure you get enough sleep..."

"Also, make friends. It doesn't matter if you don't have many, as long as you have some trustworthy ones... Shinki is a very good kid..."

"You still need to work hard to learn Ninjutsu. Of course, everyone has their own strengths, and it's okay if you can't learn it all at once. You can take your time. Don't be discouraged, and remember to respect your teachers and seniors who have taught you..."

"There's one more important thing, regarding the three prohibitions for Ninjas: save your money wisely and don't spend it recklessly; and don't drink alcohol before the age of twenty..."

"Naruto, you're all grown up now, it's normal to be interested in girls. Just be careful not to get entangled with any weird women... Find a girl as wonderful as your mother..."

"And also... Naruto... You're still young. Whether it's hardship or happiness, you'll experience a lot in the future..."

"Stay true to your own pace, keep your dreams in your heart, put your dreams into practice, and have confidence in yourself. You are truly an excellent child..."

At this point, Kushina's body began to fade into nothingness, parts of her form turning into radiance and dissipating...

"Naruto, thank you for making me a mother and Minato a father."

"We're sorry, please forgive us for not fulfilling our parental duties..."

"Thank you so much for coming into our lives..."

"Naruto, I really have so much to say to you... Mom wants to live with you too..."

"The very last sentence."

"Mommy loves you, so much..."

Kushina's body disappeared.

Tears streamed down Naruto's face, finally dripping into the golden space...

"Mom, there's no need to apologize. I'm not saddened by being the vessel for the Nine-Tails. Although I suffered some hardships in the past, I now understand that Mom and Dad were willing to give their lives for me..."

"I'm so proud to be my parents' child..."

As he spoke, the usually lively Naruto broke down in tears, eventually burying his face in Shinki's arms and sobbing.

Shinki didn't say much, but silently patted Naruto's back, telling him that he would always be there for him.

Within the sealed space.

Killer B was extremely anxious. "Wasn't Shinki supposed to be checking on Naruto? How come he's become like Naruto now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto and Shinki both opened their eyes.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Naruto looked at the Nine-Tails bound by golden chains...

Nine-Tails:Σ( ° △ °|||)

This feels a bit ominous!

In the real world, Might Guy discovers that Naruto's blood-red Chakra robe has disappeared!

"Great, it seems they've succeeded! ୧⍢⃝୨"

"But why isn't he awake yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three who had closed their eyes opened them, and Naruto smiled, "It's done."

Kai excitedly punched someone on the shoulder. "As expected of my nemesis Kakashi's disciple, amazing!"

The Land of Fire, Konoha.

Tsunade, who was extremely busy in the Hokage's Office, received a new message.

"What? Yamato is lost? Σ(っ°Д °;)っ"

"How could someone as big as him get lost?"

The kneeling Anbu truthfully recounted, "According to Sai, who is still lying in the hospital, they were ambushed by Akatsuki Sai while on a mission to procure Ninja Tools!"

"So, Yamato sacrificed himself?! Σ( ° △ °|||)" Tsunade was momentarily at a loss.

The battle hasn't even started yet, and we've already lost one of our generals!

"No, according to Sai, the enemy seems to have come specifically for Yamato, they did not launch any further attacks," the Anbu continued to reply.

Tsunade frowned after hearing this. Yamato wasn't dead, he had just been captured. She didn't know whether this was good or bad news.

As the only surviving subject of the Wood Release experiments, Yamato has fallen into the hands of someone with ulterior motives; who knows what they might discover about him...

Tsunade: "Never mind, you can go now."

"Remember, you must do everything in your power to find Yamato!"

"By the way, any news from the Sensor Ninja Team? Have they found the Akatsuki's base?"

The Anbu shook his head. "Not yet, but they're actively searching..."

A Secret Base of the Akatsuki.

The Masked Man has changed from a yellow mask to a white mask, and his left eye, which had never been exposed, has been replaced with the Rinnegan!

At this moment, the Masked Man was Yamato Kabuto Yakushi had brought back, with a questioning gaze. "Isn't he just a Wood Release test subject? Instead of bringing him back, you should think about how to deal with the Shinki."

If Yamato were awake at this moment, he would definitely be so angry that his eyes would roll back.

I was once Shinki's teacher, how could these people belittle me to the point that I'm not even as good as one of Shinki's toes! (༎ຶ-༎ຶ)

Kabuto said calmly, "This is Lord Orochimaru's only successful experimental subject. With him around, our combat strength might just be able to rise to another level."

"Furthermore, he should know a lot about Konoha's plans for the Fourth Shinobi World War. In short, there's no harm in bringing him back."

"Oh, right."

Kabuto seemed to have thought of something, adjusted his glasses, and continued, "Currently, it's known that the Allied Shinobi Forces of the Five Great Nations number around 80,000. I doubt your Akatsuki could stop them."

"What kind of army do you have, Jue?"

The Masked Man laughed after hearing this, "You really do have some knowledge of the Absolute."

Kabuto was extremely modest. "Yes, but only a little. There are too many secrets about this creature. If you're willing to give me one to study properly, I might be able to make a breakthrough... (๑ت๑)"

The Masked Man replied coldly, "We'll talk when you bring me back a Tailed Beast."

Come with me.

After speaking, the Masked Man pushed open a large door in the base.

Upon entering, Dou first saw a huge, strangely shaped Demonic Statue. Before he could ask anything, the Masked Man led him down to the bottom of the base.

There was no floor at the bottom of the base; instead, there was a bottomless pool of water.

The water was green overall, like some kind of culture medium...

Here, Dou saw someone.

This person had no lower body; he was like a plant growing on a thick tree trunk.

Kabuto: "This is..."

The Masked Man replied with a hint of pride, "It's Hashirama Senju, but this isn't his true form. I cultivated it using his active cells."

"As for the army you're curious about, look down at your feet."

Upon hearing this, Kabuto lowered his head, his gaze piercing through the green liquid to reveal a dense mass of White Zetsu at the very bottom!
