Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Morning-Mist Homecomer! [First update, please send flowers and collect]

The White Zetsu taking notes seriously in the back row suddenly froze.

Then a "question mark" appeared above his head.

"Everyone, look at this!"

Bai Hao pointed at the blackboard.

"This is a White Zetsu.

It's an extremely special life-form.

Rather than calling it a human, it would be more accurate to call it a plant.

They are born after absorbing the essence of Heaven and Earth."

Bai Hao continued, "It is precisely because White Zetsu are so special.

Therefore.

If a human is lucky enough to eat one, they can increase their total Chakra!"

The White Zetsu in the back row, who had a question mark above his head.

Now had three more question marks and an exclamation mark appear above his head.

"Mr. Bai Hao!"

A scion of a great clan raised his hand and asked, "Then where should we go to find White Zetsu?"

"That's a good question."

Bai Hao nodded approvingly.

"I saw this life-form called White Zetsu in a book.

This life-form was born from the Chakra God Tree.

It's a tremendous tonic.

However, the Chakra God Tree has already disappeared.

So finding White Zetsu can be said to be extremely difficult."

The White Zetsu in the back row, who had four question marks and an exclamation mark above his head.

Now had ten more question marks appear above his head.

"Mr. Bai Hao!"

Another scion of a great clan raised his hand and asked, "What is this Chakra God Tree?"

"The Chakra God Tree is something from legend.

According to legend.

All the Chakra in the world came from the Chakra God Tree.

Afterward, a fruit grew on the Chakra God Tree.

When a woman named Kaguya Otsutsuki saw this fruit, she couldn't resist.

She took one bite and ate the fruit.

Afterward, she gained extraordinary powers.

At the same time, she became the first ninja!

It is said that all the Chakra in our bodies today came from her."

The White Zetsu in the back row, whose head was already covered in question marks, suddenly had countless exclamation marks appear above it.

"He... How could he possibly know all this!?

And what exactly is his goal!?"

There was a trace of fear in White Zetsu's gaze as he looked at Bai Hao.

Black Zetsu's plan was about to succeed.

If something unexpected happened now...

They might be sealed away!

The many people listening below were somewhat depressed at this moment.

That was because they simply couldn't use the method Bai Hao had mentioned.

"Mr. Bai Hao, how did Lady Hinata increase her total Chakra?"

Upon hearing someone ask a question.

Bai Hao gave the answer he had prepared long ago.

"That is because Hinata possesses an extremely special constitution.

The Sage Body!

For someone with this constitution.

Its effects aren't obvious in the early stages.

However, as their training time continues to increase.

Their total Chakra can grow almost without limit.

As long as they are willing to train, their total Chakra will skyrocket.

And Hinata is someone with this ability."

"Oh!"

Everyone's eyes filled with envy when they heard this.

Although they didn't know what the Sage Body was, nor how to determine who possessed it.

That didn't stop them from feeling envious.

"The Hyuga Clan truly is a great clan~"

"Yeah~

They even have something like this passed down to them~"

"I'm so envious."

Bai Hao quickly finished fooling everyone during the lesson.

The results were quite good, too.

The people in the village no longer obsessed over how Hinata's Chakra had suddenly increased so dramatically.

Not only that.

A movement to search for White Zetsu even sprang up in the village.

This allowed Bai Hao to reap a huge wave of Plot Points for nothing.

It could be said to be nearly perfect.

His mood was excellent as well.

However, White Zetsu's mood was terrible.

With a face full of confusion, he left Konoha and found Black Zetsu.

Then he told Black Zetsu every bit of information he had gathered, exactly as it was.

"Something like that actually happened?"

Black Zetsu's tone carried a hint of surprise.

"Where exactly did this Bai Hao get all this information?"

"Maybe from some ancient texts passed down from antiquity?"

The White Zetsu connected to Black Zetsu slowly said, "After all.

Only those ancient texts, which were incomplete and passed down from long ago.

Could contain the mistaken idea that White Zetsu could be eaten.

Enough.

Our focus shouldn't be on this."

"You're right~"

Black Zetsu slowly said, "That Bai Hao seems to be nothing more than a relatively talented ninja.

Our current focus is the mysterious force that suddenly appeared.

The Black-Clad Organization.

Its strength is formidable, its numbers unknown.

Its purpose is unknown.

Its leader is unknown.

I really wonder where it came from.

We absolutely cannot let this organization disrupt our plan!"

"I'll send out all my clones."

White Zetsu slowly said, "They'll transform into ordinary ninjas from the various villages.

One day, we'll be able to uncover this organization's origins."

"Mm. Since the Akatsuki isn't capturing tailed beasts for the time being.

Then let those people investigate the Black-Clad Organization's strength first..."

As the person involved, Black Zetsu naturally didn't believe that eating White Zetsu could increase one's Chakra.

But.

The other uninformed masses believed this ridiculous story.

After Bai Hao's public lecture ended.

One sensational piece of news after another spread throughout the ninja world.

"Have you heard?

Legend has it that all Chakra comes from a Chakra God Tree!

And the Chakra God Tree grows white fruits that look very much like humans.

After eating one, you can increase your total Chakra!"

"Have you heard?

In the distant East, there is a divine tree.

The tree grows a type of Ginseng Fruit called White Zetsu!

Why is it called Ginseng Fruit?

Of course, because the fruit looks like a human!

Eating one can prolong your life and greatly increase your strength!"

"Have you heard?
