Madara Uchiha, Third Mizukage

"Ah!!"

The White Zetsu twisted and contorted, writhing out of Nagato's body like squeezed-out liquid, immediately erupting in a terrified scream!

It had been parasitizing Nagato for a while now, witnessing the downfall of the Evil God Sect.

The bizarre methods used by this human in front of it, who loved to fake smiles and had an extremely twisted sense of humor, were even more monstrous than theirs!

Cruel, evil, bloody, and tyrannical, yet possessing a unique, twisted beauty.

Almost like a more perfect creation, existing solely on the principle of the survival of the fittest.

But that was all it was.

It merely assumed it was some newly mutated Kekkei Genkai, still confident and even arrogant about its own stealth abilities.

So what if he was powerful, cruel, and tyrannical?

It was the White Zetsu that Madara Uchiha had carefully selected from its trash-like brethren, the one with the greatest ability to conceal itself!

Even Nagato, who might awaken the "Kagura Mind's Eye," couldn't detect it, so how could some inexplicable, strange human possibly find it?

But, just as it was feeling smug about this...

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing?!" The White Zetsu's white face was filled with terror.

That scarlet, liquid-like substance had actually squeezed it out of Nagato's body!

It was a creation cultivated from the God Tree's husk and Hashirama Cells, yet the feeling this thing gave it was even more ferocious and terrifying!

It was as if it regarded Nagato's body as its own, not allowing any foreign objects to remain on its territory.

In its memory, such a bizarre power had never appeared in the entire shinobi world, a power that could twist and mutate it without any resistance.

"I should be asking that question!"

Before the White Zetsu could get a response, Nagato, his face filled with anger, grabbed it by the neck and brutally yanked it out of his body.

Nagato looked at it in disbelief, his expression twisted as he questioned, "What the hell are you? How could you be inside me?! Since when..."

A chill still lingered in his chest, as if a piece of flesh had been carved out of him.

"So, he was indeed parasitized."

Before the White Zetsu could struggle to escape, Yun Chuan decisively reached out his hand.

The scarlet Symbiote tissue spread, reaching out towards its body.

"No, no! Don't come over here! You monster!"

The White Zetsu gurgled in its throat, whimpering like a frightened child, flailing its arms wildly, trying to get the thing off of itself.

But the flesh-like tissue seemed to be its bane, swaying and dodging each strike, until it completely wrapped it into a scarlet "cocoon."

Thump! Thump!

Moonlight shone on the surface of the Symbiote tissue, reflecting scarlet spots as it wriggled slightly, causing a sense of unease to rise from the depths of one's soul.

Until the volume of the "cocoon" became smaller and smaller, completely devouring the White Zetsu within.

Just as Yun Chuan reached out his hand, wanting to recall it, he suddenly paused.

The Symbiote tissue was feeding back information, its general intention seeming to be...

"Delicious! Delicious! Not enough! Not enough! More! More!"

Interpreting the Symbiote's idiotic instincts, the expression on Yun Chuan's face gradually became indescribable.

Was the Symbiote saying that the White Zetsu was delicious?

But wasn't it supposed to eat "brains" and "its own kind"?

Yun Chuan just found that ugly "feeding" method somewhat repulsive...

Oh, wait.

Yun Chuan suddenly thought of the Symbiote's settings.

If he remembered correctly, the Symbiote could also eat chocolate to replace human brains?

It seemed to be because chocolate and human brains had the same components, including something called "phenylethylamine."

"Does White Zetsu also have similar components in its body? Or is it that White Zetsu has similar characteristics to it, similar to devouring its own kind to become stronger? Or perhaps, both?"

He could indeed feel that the Symbiote tissue had become "stronger."

Thinking of this, Yun Chuan's eyes flickered, increasing the range of the blood mist, enveloping the entire ship.

However, he didn't find any other White Zetsu.

"What a pity." Yun Chuan sighed with some regret.

It seemed that Madara Uchiha also knew that Nagato's sensory abilities were very strong, so the White Zetsu used to monitor him were chosen for quality over quantity.

"Brother, what exactly is this thing? It could even parasitize me..."

The shock and anger on Nagato's face had not yet dissipated, and the intense sense of unease that had accumulated over a long period of time suddenly erupted, severely stimulating his sensitive nerves.

His powerful sensory abilities had failed to detect it from beginning to end, and he couldn't imagine how long this thing had been parasitizing him, the mere thought of it sending a chill down his spine.

If it was after being parasitized after meeting his brother, how much information about Dawn City has already been exposed? Are they being watched by someone all along?

If it was before meeting his brother, then his father and mother's deaths, and these cursed eyes...

"Don't worry too much."

Yun Chuan patted his head, reassuring him gently, "Your sensory abilities are improving rapidly. It can't just parasitize and detach at will, or you would have discovered it long ago."

Feeling the warmth from the hand on his head, Nagato's fear and anger dissipated a lot. After calming down, he also remembered that feeling of being watched.

It must have been at that time that his sensory abilities improved by leaps and bounds, and as a result, he discovered a trace of something amiss.

That thing hid after being sensed, which means it didn't transmit much information, at least it hasn't found a chance in the last few months.

"Haa!"

Nagato took a deep breath, nodding with a grim expression, "I understand, Brother!"

But in his heart, he was now even more certain that his brother's words about the "cursed eyes" were correct, and the deaths of his parents might not have been simple either.

If it weren't for his brother, he wouldn't even know how long he would be deceived...

"Rest assured."

Yun Chuan vigorously ruffled Nagato's hair, then looked up towards the direction of Kirigakure and said, "We will face that old bastard sooner or later."

"Very soon."

What is the most valuable thing in the Land of Whirlpools?

--Precise sealing techniques and barrier techniques, extremely superb sensory abilities, and a versatile "container" physique.

Too many people are hoping for their deaths, and even the Hidden Leaf Village may have such thoughts.

After all, Mito Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki are both in the Hidden Leaf Village, and the inheritance of sealing techniques and barrier techniques is also in the Hidden Leaf Village...

However, the ones who most want the Uzumaki Clan to be wiped out should be those two old schemers.

--Madara Uchiha, and Black Zetsu.

At the same time, in the Water Country, inside the Mizukage Building in Kirigakure.

A man with long black hair and a circular ornament on his head sat at the desk with his eyes closed.

Standing in front of him was a short figure with a baby face, looking like a child.

"Yagura, the team heading to the Land of Whirlpools, have they set off yet?"

The man's tone was unusually flat, without any emotional fluctuations, almost like a corpse.

"They've already set off, Third Mizukage-sama, they'll arrive in two days."

The baby-faced man called "Yagura" nodded, hesitated for a moment, then took a breath and lowered his head respectfully, "This subordinate has a question, I don't know if I can..."

"You cannot." The Third Mizukage interrupted him indifferently, "Don't forget, I personally promoted and taught you. You only need to act according to my orders."

"If you don't want to end up like those guys."

"...Yes, Teacher."

In the faint moonlight outside the window, Yagura couldn't see his face hidden in the shadows, only the elongated, slender shadow on the desk.

He once again felt an immense sense of unfamiliarity from the teacher in front of him.

Why did the once gentle and humble Third Mizukage become like this?

Could it be because he could no longer tolerate the pressure from those ninja clans, so the teacher had to use such strong methods to suppress them?

This reason made sense, but Yagura always felt an indescribable sense of incongruity, as if there was a layer of black gauze between them.

"Then I'll take my leave first, Teacher."

The Third Mizukage didn't speak, only silently watched Yagura walk out of the office, then got up and walked to the window, looking down at the slightly damp village covered in fog and dew.

And in the next moment, the Third Mizukage, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

In those eyes were three tomoe, still flashing with a rich, bloody light.

"Increase the number of civilian ninjas, slowly increase the power of the Mizukage faction, regain leadership, and then we can talk about other things..." He lowered his head and muttered, "Damn ninja clans, I will never allow you to take away the village that Teacher entrusted to me!"

The thin moonlight obscured by the fog made the entire village appear somewhat dim, like a ghost town, giving the inexplicable feeling that there was less vitality within it.

The temperature gradually cooled, and the fog thickened.

The moonlight outside the window was even more dim, and darkness spread out from the depths, as if everything had fallen into silence, and only the sound of breathing could be heard.

"And..."

A figure walked out of the shadows behind him, walked to the Third Mizukage's side, and let out a cold laugh, "At all costs, annihilate the Uzumaki Clan and let the Second Shinobi World War completely erupt!"
