Izanagi!
It was the Mangekyo ability of Izumi's right eye.
Though the chances to use it were slim, its effect was utterly heaven-defying.
It could turn any situation unfavorable to herself into nothingness.
Even if each use consumed a great deal of eye power, it was absolutely worth it.
Now, Black Zetsu had nearly fallen into that trap.
If it had not been so experienced at preserving its life, it might well have fallen to Izumi's First Encounter Kill.
"So there really was a reason Teacher feared you!"
Izumi murmured to herself.
She had originally thought that her carefully prepared strike would definitely take care of the enemy, or at least buy them more time. She had never expected such an exaggerated reaction from it. Before she could even make a move, it had already dodged in advance.
Black Zetsu's high-speed movement, like a shadow, was indeed extremely troublesome.
"Die!"
As it moved, its upper body emerged from the ground, and its right arm transformed into a spear that stabbed toward Hinata Cang Yue.
Hinata Cang Yue was currently communicating with her eyes closed, so naturally she had no way to evade.
Izumi had also just activated Izanagi and was temporarily unable to rescue her.
A sinister smile appeared on Black Zetsu's face.
Once it obtained this treasure, its future plans would proceed much more smoothly.
But the smile had barely appeared before it froze.
The Black Rod it had thrust forward stopped less than a centimeter from Hinata Cang Yue's chest, as though an invisible barrier prevented it from piercing her body.
"Rats in the gutter!"
Hinata Cang Yue did not open her eyes, yet she coldly spoke those words.
The Giant Tenseigan behind her suddenly shone even more brilliantly, as though it had come alive.
Buzz!
