Black Zetsu: It's Not That I Don't Want to Catch You-You Just Have Too Many Weaknesses
Naruto didn't hear the cheers of the Allied Shinobi Forces. He had already found Kabuto and was busy using Tailed Beast Ball to relentlessly pursue and bombard this bastard.
He wasn't worried about running out of Chakra at all. He had the Uzumaki Clan's massive Chakra reserves, the Nine-Tails' chakra, Izanagi.
The Allied Shinobi Forces battlefield was in an uproar. The White Zetsu was lagging, making them much easier to kill. With victory seemingly within reach, their blood was boiling!
Meanwhile, Naruto, oblivious to everything, was frantically chasing and Kabuto, a sickly smile on his face.
"You bastard, I'll beat you to death!"
Kabuto did not engage Naruto in direct combat. Instead, he revealed his snake tail and fled towards an open area from Naruto's attacks, with the Impure World Reincarnation army gathering behind him.
Although it was called a large army, the number of people was actually not many, only about a hundred.
Kabuto is really patient; he actually spent an entire winter digging up graves. This guy is really doing a terrible disservice.
Naruto didn't care about anything else; if anyone blocked his way, he'd just fire Tailed Beast Ball. He always acted this way, not even bothering to greet those Impure World Reincarnation.
There were even some old acquaintances from Konohagakure among them. He glanced at them and spotted Gekko Hayate and Danzo Root's Aburame's former confidant.
People cannot be brought back to life unless they have a special ability.
The Impure World Reincarnation corpses were indeed a bit troublesome, but unfortunately they couldn't fly. Naruto completely ignored them and relentlessly chased after Impure World Reincarnation Kabuto.
He's doing this for no other reason than to block the Kabuto.
White Zetsu has completely collapsed. The drawbacks of Kabuto not directly controlling White Zetsu, but controlling it through a puppet equipped with the Rinnegan, quickly became apparent.
He couldn't control the White Zetsu while fighting Naruto. The situation on the battlefield could often turn around in an instant, and the White Zetsu's blocking of the Allied Shinobi Forces naturally boosted their morale.
Tenten finally snapped out of her shock, having no time to think, and was swept forward. With only a hundred paces left, the Allied Shinobi Forces began unleashing Earth Release and Fire Style Ninjutsu.
Dozens of White Zetsu were instantly engulfed by the sea of fire, and Earth Release walls blocked their attempts to climb out. The same was true in other areas, with Earth Release, Water Release, and Lightning Release occurring simultaneously.
Kabuto realized that the battlefield was in chaos and ordered a retreat without hesitation. For him, there was no such thing as failure; failure could be overcome countless times.
Naruto chased after him for a while and discovered that Kabuto was like a slippery snake-skinned monster. Even though half of his body had been smashed, the guy just kept growing back.
Even so, he continued to relentlessly pursue Kabuto, Naruto wanted to know when Kabuto planned to release Uchiha Madara. But after chasing him for so long, Kabuto was only managing to escape.
"Kill!" Yamashiro Aoba's small ninja force finally broke through the White Zetsu's territory and joined up with the more than 1,000 men of the Third Division.
The entire battlefield had been divided into three parts by the White Zetsu, and everyone in the Allied Shinobi Forces was elated. After fighting the White Zetsu for so long, they had finally gained a long-awaited advantage.
"Surround them!" Namiashi Raidō shouted, slashing at the White Zetsu that was coming towards him.
Summer was approaching on the battlefield, and if the fighting dragged on any longer, the heavy leather armor Kazuma worn by the Allied Shinobi Forces would become an unbearable burden. The lack of ventilation was a minor issue; the sweat would further hinder their fighting, and in a prolonged battle, death would be almost certain.
The turn of events in today's battle was unexpected by everyone. After all, who would have thought that Sasuke and Naruto would be fighting behind White Zetsu? And who would have thought that their battle was already at a god-like level?
Yamashiro Aoba risked his life for the momentum to cut through the White Zetsu army from east to west and complete the encirclement. He knew how important momentum and morale were on the battlefield.
He had just cut a White Zetsu in half at the waist when he lunged forward again, grabbed a White Zetsu that was about to attack a fallen ninja, rolled twice, and then severed the White Zetsu's neck with a single slash.
"Boom!"
Seven or eight White Zetsu rushed towards Yamashiro Aoba, only to be instantly pierced through by Genma Shiranui's Senbon. The slender Senbon, like long spears, pierced through and then blasted the White Zetsu apart.
On the battlefield, the sight of countless White Zetsu filled one with a sense of despair.
"Kill them! Encircle them! Encircle them!"
With a bang, Might Guy caught a White Zetsu and fell from the sky. The moment he landed with his Primary Lotus, a sound like thunder shook the earth and the shockwaves were visible to the naked eye!
The White Zetsu surrounding Yamashiro Aoba instantly cleared away, forming a vacuum circle with a radius of tens of meters.
Namiashi Raidō and Yamashiro Aoba didn't even have time to thank Might Guy before charging forward and roaring.
"Quick! Everyone, follow me and charge forward!"
Bang bang bang!
The Allied Shinobi Forces' Ninja Blade and Ninjutsu rained down on the White Zetsu, and by the end, the Shinobi Forces were almost numb, as if they were hitting a sandbag.
Every second, ninjas fell to the ground and couldn't get up, and the number of White Zetsu kept increasing.
On the battlefield, the main force of the Allied Shinobi Forces remained crowded on the perimeter, slowly transforming from individual square formations into a chain-like shape. From the air, it was beginning to resemble a pocket.
Yamashiro Aoba, Genma Shiranui, Namiashi Raidō Might Guy rampaged behind the White Zetsu's lines, neither retreating nor fleeing, but gambling with their lives.
Naruto eventually let Kabuto escape, but he managed to corner Black Zetsu.
Seeing that Black Zetsu was about to escape, he only said three sentences, which made Black Zetsu freeze in place. He neither ran nor left, but just stared at him blankly.
"Really?" Black Zetsu asked.
"Kabuto has already lost. Are you going to wait for another chance?" Naruto retorted. "What other pieces do you have left? I will crush them one by one."
"You have no choice but to cooperate with me now."
Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu's expression became complicated.
What is your purpose?
"It's simple, I want Kabuto dead!" Naruto said. "I'll use the Reaper Death Seal harvest his soul and seal him away forever!"
"However, he can't just stand there and surrender. I need your help. I don't care about any Tailed Beast, but I'll be miserable as long as Kabuto is alive."
"How can I trust you?" Black Zetsu asked.
"You either believe me, or wait another hundred years. Maybe you'll have a chance after I die," Naruto said nonchalantly. "Or, I'll target you."
"Don't think you can run away now. I can't catch you. If I really wanted to, I would have plenty of ways to do it. I have money and people. I can take over half of the Shinobi World in three to five years."
"No matter where you run off to, I will definitely find you. Even if I do nothing else in my life, I will keep a close eye on you."
"Isn't this a bit too extreme? The one who has a grudge against you is Kabuto, not me!" Black Zetsu was speechless. How could this guy be so shameless?
"I don't care, it's either Kabuto or you who dies." He said with certainty, "I have plenty of ways to seal you for hundreds of years, sink you to the bottom of the sea, and add a layer of seal every year."
Black Zetsu: "."
Black Zetsu was completely speechless. He had just been thinking of threatening him, but then he thought it was unnecessary to offend this madman.
To be honest, Black Zetsu hasn't found Naruto's weakness yet. It's not that he can't find it, but rather that there are too many, and he doesn't know which one to target as the biggest weakness.
Exploiting weaknesses is meant to make the opponent hesitant to act, and Black Zetsu, realizing he couldn't exploit all of them, simply resigned himself to his fate and decided not to provoke this vicious monster.
But now, trouble has found him.
~~
"We still had White Zetsu retreat!" Genma Shiranui sighed.
"Stop sighing. At least we've weakened White Zetsu." Yamashiro Aoba bandaged his wound and turned back with a smile. "White Zetsu retreat, we're doomed."
"Yes." Genma Shiranui's face showed a sense of relief at surviving a disaster.
The battle on the battlefield was not over yet, and the White Zetsu, who had not had time to evacuate, were left behind by the Allied Shinobi Forces. One thousand members of the Allied Shinobi Forces were responsible for blocking the White Zetsu's path with Earth Release, while another seven hundred Fire Release ninjas were responsible for using a sea of fire to kill the White Zetsu.
"Don't let them get away!" Namiji Namiashi Raidō; to be precise, he was already leading his men back with great enthusiasm, and Might Guy went with him.
The two were truly born brutes, one brave and the other calm yet brave.
Rock Lee had already retired; he was forcibly dragged down by Tenten. The battlefield is not child's play; even a novice Jonin can die there if they're unlucky. Rock Lee had absolutely no sense of proportion.
I see him almost exhausted Tenten, yet he still keeps pushing forward; I just can't bear to watch anymore.
"Can't you assess your own situation before you act? Are you just going to your death?"
"Rock Lee, Tenten, you guys are down here too?" Naruto strolled over from the next tent, looking nothing like someone who had just come from the battlefield.
To fit the occasion, he even leaned against the curtain and yawned.
"Naruto?" Tenten was a little surprised. She looked him up and down and asked, "Are you alright?"
"What could be wrong with me?" he countered. "But I am indeed a bit tired. I'm exhausted from fighting on the battlefield. You guys chat first, I'll go back and rest for a while."
"Sigh," Tenten hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Seeing him leave without looking back, she frowned slightly, wondering why he walked away so quickly. She had originally wanted to ask him some questions, but now there was no need to.
"Tenten, what's wrong?" Rock Lee asked curiously when he noticed that Tenten's expression was off.
"It's nothing, I'm just too tired."
"Then you should go back and rest. I think I can still do it." Rock Lee clenched his fists, looking like he was on steroids.
"No way! Forget about it!" Tenten said angrily. "Come with me down here, we can go find Neji and discuss what to do next."
"What happened next?" Rock Lee scratched his head, looking completely puzzled.
"Are you going to keep fighting on the battlefield forever?" Tenten turned around and glared at him. "The war is going on for a long time, so of course we should discuss when to retire and rest."
"The village has a rotating troop system; otherwise, how would they replenish the personnel they lose?"
"We're not sick or injured, why should we back down?" Rock Lee was even more confused, his face full of naivety. "I think we're still okay."
"Are you stupid? If the two of us don't go back, how are Neji supposed to get back to the village?" Tenten sighed. "Given his personality, he would never accept going back to the village alone."
"Oh!" Rock Lee looked as if he had just realized something. He looked at Tenten and thought to himself that Tenten was as thoughtful as ever. He wouldn't have thought of that if it were him.
Naruto didn't go back to rest. He simply washed up, changed his clothes, and as usual, went to see Ino first, then Hinata. He spent a long time talking to each of them before leaving.
He was utterly exhausted and went nowhere. He simply collapsed and fell asleep in his quiet, cold home.
No matter how nice the place outside is, it's never as comfortable as sleeping at home. He slept soundly until noon the next day. He didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky, and stared blankly at the Nikko outside the window.
I've been so busy lately that I've had very little time to be alone.
He suddenly felt relieved; he realized that this kind of leisurely and carefree life suited him much better. He wished a savior would fall from the sky right now; he wondered if the Pervy Sage had found a new Child of Prophecy yet.
If there truly is Child of Prophecy, then I will do everything in my power to help him save the world, as long as it allows me to step back and enjoy the sunshine and my leisurely, carefree time.
Speaking of the Pervy Sage, Naruto narrowed his eyes. He had originally planned to look for Tsunade, but he had been delayed by other matters, and now he was dealing with Kabuto, so he couldn't leave.
He sighed softly; trouble was what he hated most.
The life he has now is not what he wants at all. Saving the world should be the job of the savior, not for him, an idle nobody, to keep busy.
The Shinobi World is too chaotic. If he wants to save the Shinobi World and stop the internal wars, he'll have to be busy his whole life. He should be a swordsman, watching over both the Shinobi World and its inhabitants.
Naruto would never do such a thing, even if it meant his death. In fact, if it weren't for Ino and Hinata's pregnancy, he wouldn't even bother with Kabuto and would have directly dealt with the Otsutsuki.
Man-made disasters can never be eradicated, and his only worry was the Otsutsuki Clan.
Shaking his head, Naruto struggled to his feet, trying to clear his mind of all the chaotic thoughts. No matter what, the things that needed to be done still had to be done.
Whether for Ino's sake or Hinata's, he had to eliminate the potential threat. At least after this upheaval, he hoped to eliminate not only the Otsutsuki, but also the Slaughter Battle Embryo.
He wants to live a peaceful and leisurely life, not watch the Five Great Nations fight and wage war every Tenten. He needs peace.
After washing up, Naruto pushed open the door and walked towards the Yamanaka Flower Shop.
At the same time, Tayuya turned her gaze away from the distant battlefield; she couldn't see the Konohagakure Village's camp. The ninjas in front of her seemed to have been hastily assembled, and there were ninjas from Five Great Nations.
This made it even harder for her to distinguish which side had Konohagakure ninjas.
After thinking for a while, she decided to ask someone. Having wandered for so long, she had already mastered the art of stealth and disguise, and with her Ninja Headband on, she easily blended into the crowd.
After asking around several times and listening to some casual conversations among ninjas who had come down from the battlefield, Tayuya more certain that Naruto was in this battlefield.
Konohagakure isn't without camps, and given his habits, he's most likely gone back to sleep.
My new book is inspired by a book I've been reading recently. I've been thinking about whether there could be a novel Assassin's Creed, along with novels by Se Se and Cao Zei.
After reading "My Wife Is Acting Strange" and "Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation" and "You Don't Want My Secret to Be Knew," I started thinking about whether I could write a similar but slightly different version of the book.
So the idea of incorporating Assassin's Creed elements came about. I've also written historical fiction before, which led to the beginning of this new book.
Those interested can bookmark this page; it's produced by a reputable source, so the quality is guaranteed.
Xu Xingzhou transmigrates into the game "Blood of Chang'an," which is known as the "ancient version of Assassin's Creed," and becomes a student of the Imperial Academy.
Here, the young teaching assistant, with his book at his waist, flicked his wrist and broke the stone inkstone apart with his bare hands, as neatly as if cut by a knife.
The magistrate prayed for rain, and his advice transformed into large golden characters that flew into the sky.
Thirty professions, ranging from high-ranking officials to common laborers and peddlers. Thousands of side quests and tens of thousands of choices.
To fulfill his friend's last wish, Xu Xingzhou spent all his wealth to get his friend's fiancée and sister out of prison.
He then discovered that his cheat ability seemed to have a slight problem, as the way he acquired supernatural powers was actually related to his friend's wife.
Having finally unlocked the supernatural power "Spirit Binding," the first object of his simulation was none other than the imperial concubine of the current dynasty.
He originally only wanted to protect himself and live a long and peaceful life.
Unexpectedly, the empire's fortunes turned to the brink of collapse.
Internally, there was a tyrannical and mad emperor, factional strife in the court, and princes vying for the throne; externally, a military governor was leading troops, his sword pointed at Chang'an.
