What He Was Thinking

The spike formed from White Zetsu's arm was pressed close to Nanako's neck. If Nanako deliberately threw herself onto it, the spike would easily pierce her neck.

Nanako thought that if she died, she could no longer be used to threaten Ye Zi. Thus, she chose death without hesitation, simply not wanting to put Ye Zi in a difficult position because of her.

This turn of events pleased Orochimaru, while Black Zetsu and Madara Uchiha had not expected it at all. Even the Allied Forces watching from the side, though they looked down on such behavior, would not help Ye Zi.

"Foolish woman!"

White Zetsu had been watching Nanako the entire time. How could he let her kill herself so easily?

The moment Nanako moved, the solid spike had already liquefied. Nanako collided with a pool of liquid and was naturally unharmed.

If the spike could not be turned into liquid with a mere thought, then even if White Zetsu had reacted in time, he would never have been able to retract it. The fact that it could be controlled so freely was the main reason Nanako's plan to die had failed.

"Now, whether you live or die is no longer up to you."

White Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed Nanako by the neck.

After her attempt to die failed, Nanako immediately showed a disappointed expression. With her neck being squeezed, she could not say anything, and breathing became slightly difficult.

Seeing that Nanako was safe, Ye Zi could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Only then did his violently pounding heartbeat begin to slow.

Orochimaru was very disappointed. His effort in speaking at length had served two purposes: one was to stop Ye Zi from compromising, and the other was to make Nanako understand
