We're Teammates!

"Damn it! We've been discovered!" A voice and tremor echoed from the woods.

"I see!" Shiyu's eyes clearly saw something.

He then clasped his hands together and said, "Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Shiyu clearly felt the shuriken hit something, and then with a "whoosh," he disappeared and reappeared where the shuriken had been.

However, Shiyu didn't see anything there.

"I see it! It's in the earth!" Shiyu then stopped hiding his abilities and switched directly to Sage Mode, which made his sensory abilities even stronger. In Sage Mode Shiyu could use Natural Energy to Teleportation infinitely within a certain range.

"Flying Thunder God!" Shiyu appeared above a patch of land with a whoosh.

"Sage Art: Limitless Rebirth!" Shiyu unleashed the Snake Sage's Senjutsu technique, a move that, in Shiyu's hands, was absolutely superior to the original Orochi Kabuto.

The earth became Shiyu's weapon, instantly piercing through the white figure hidden in the soil.

"The earth is attacking me! And I can't move in the soil anymore, what's going on?!" The man looked up at Shiyu in great fear.

"Whoosh!" Without saying a word, Shiyu immediately used Genjutsu magic, and the man instantly fell into a daze.

Shiyu recognized the white figure immediately; it was White Zetsu, a spy created by Madara Uchiha. As for Black Zetsu, Shiyu didn't sense it.

"Who sent you? What's your purpose?" Shiyu asked directly.

"Madara Uchiha wants me to record your battles." White Zetsu replied blankly, like a puppet on a string.

"Why did you do this?" Shiyu pressed again.

"Speak quickly!" Shiyu's mental pressure and pupil power increased once again.

"He wants to see if you are qualified to be his, "White Zetsu said honestly once again.

"One last question: Are you the original White Zetsu, or a clone?"

"I have a split personality. White Zetsu has fallen into a mental breakdown."

Shiyu instantly understood everything.

"So that's how it is. Madara planned everything. He submitted the mission to kidnap Suisen, the daughter of a wealthy merchant from the Land of Fire who has some connection to me, at the gold exchange, thus leading me step by step into his trap and into the White Zetsu's observation range. He Kakuzu to fight me, all to make me show him everything about myself?"

"Ban is clever, but unfortunately, his mission failed. And you lot, hiding inside my body without saying a word, thought you could get away with it?!"

Shiyu then immediately increased his Senjutsu Mode chakra, and the several White Zetsu that were secretly attached to Shiyu immediately turned into snakes, some even showing signs of turning into stone.

"You can't die, you're good nourishment too." Shiyu brought the White Zetsu directly to Kakuzu's side.

"This is because Kakuzu also noticed the unusual nature of White Zetsu."

"These people are that person's eyes. Your battle with me was also planned by him. He wanted to use you to test my strength, but they didn't know that my strength had already reached this level, "Shiyu explained, and Kakuzu understood.

"This was created using the life force of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and Hashirama Cells. Kakuzu should be able to take its heart. I'm really surprised that these people have hearts. After all, they are humans who have been affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi." Shiyu was also thinking carefully.

"I can absorb some of that too." Shiyu absorbed the bloodline power of these White Zetsu, and then instantly felt a bloodline different from the ones before surge into his body. Shiyu knew that the reason for this special feeling was because it was the bloodline of the Senju Clan and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which was the bloodline of the Ten-Tails.

"Looks like this is a real unexpected bonus. The system will probably awaken soon, right? I wonder if my eyes can continue to evolve." Shiyu was somewhat satisfied.

"How is it, Kakuzu? Can this guy bring you back to life?" Shiyu asked.

"Sure! If we really have Hashirama's cells, we can not only survive, but even our strength can be enhanced." Kakuzu nodded and then used the secret technique Heart Stealing to kill those inhuman creatures. Afterwards, Kakuzu's complexion recovered even more.

"So, you've agreed?" Shiyu asked to confirm.

"Eight million! Starting today! No delays!" Kakuzu said, looking every bit the money-grubber.

"Don't worry! Here's an 80 million yen check, take it!" Shiyu took out a check from Konoha Bank and generously handed it to Kakuzu, Kakuzu eyes turned red.

And with Shiyu Kakuzu officially brought Kakuzu under his command.

"Oh no! I overlooked something!" Shiyu was also taken aback.

"What's wrong, boss?" Kakuzu immediately changed his form of address, because he could smell money in that form of address.

"Given that guy's personality, to make me completely lose faith in this world, he'll probably target Suisen, Mei, and that blue-haired girl! I need to get to them quickly! Kakuzu, you move in that direction first; my Flying Thunder God alone can be faster!"

Shiyu immediately transformed into Sage Mode, using Body Flicker Technique Flying Thunder God repeatedly to rapidly approach the Flying Thunder God sensing range of Zhuo Ming and Suisen.

"I can sense it! Hurry up!" Shiyu was a little anxious, but even the Flying Thunder God couldn't teleport that far in an instant.

Meanwhile, Mei was protecting Suisen and the blue-haired woman, waging a defensive battle. "Boil Release: Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique!" Mei had already removed his mask and exhaled a large mouthful of hot acid mist.

Those missing-nin who came into contact with the acidic mist were instantly corroded.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

"Don't go near this fog!"

"This is Kekkei Genkai! It's the Kekkei Genkai Kirigakure!"

"Use Earth Release to isolate it!"

"Earth Release: Earth Tremor Core!" The missing-nin from the Exchange Bureau also directly caused the ground where Suisen and the other two were located to sink downwards.

The missing-nin then threw their shuriken Kunai into the pit where the three were.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" Mei's chakra was running low. The Water Dragon Bullet deflected a wave of shuriken and Kunai, but missed one. A Kunai grazed Meizu's headband precisely, and his long brown curly hair slid off.

"Ming, I never expected it to be you!" The blue-haired woman was also taken aback.

"So it's a girl, no wonder." Suisen also fell silent for a moment.

"Now that we've come this far, there's no point in hiding it anymore," Ming said calmly.

"If only he were here." She thought of someone who had just said they were on the same team.

He found the missing Suisen and Yin, and is fighting the strongest enemy. And I...

I actually think how wonderful it would be if he were here right now.

"No! I can't give up! We're teammates! You promised to complete the mission entrusted to me! I must finish it!"
