The Power of Desire

Incomprehensible!

This was the current thought of White Zetsu.

As a mere biological weapon, his personality was actually quite optimistic.

But... today!

That optimism had been shattered into pieces!

He simply could not imagine everything that had just occurred around him.

That brat Uchiha Yuzhen, twelve years old, had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!

That alone was one thing.

A prodigy, after all... that was understandable!

However, that dōjutsu was truly incomprehensible!

Everything that had just happened made him feel as if he were in a dream.

Thinking of this, he completely broke down!

He shouted toward Uchiha Yuzhen, who was reaping lives up ahead:

"What exactly is your dōjutsu?! Why did we end up defeated in such a muddled mess?"

That was right!

Even though he hadn't received any injuries at this moment, White Zetsu still felt they had lost.

He could not describe everything that had transpired within these few short minutes.

Uchiha Style Nintaijutsu?

He knew it!

Flying Thunder God Technique Formula?

He knew that too!

But when these were combined, in less than five minutes, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and those Root ninjas...

It was as if their brains had "gone haywire," their bodies automatically and inexplicably appearing under Uchiha Yuzhen's blade.

They had smoothly become souls under his sword.

This was something he could not understand!

The reason was simple—the Seven Ninja Swordsmen themselves had kept shouting "Impossible!" while fighting him.

This showed that everyone's minds were still clear, yet they simply could not comprehend why such a situation had occurred.

However, he was very clear on one thing.

The ability to make everyone act as if they had lost their minds and become souls under Uchiha Yuzhen's blade...

Nine times out of ten, it was due to that dōjutsu!

He knew quite a few of the Uchiha's strange and varied dōjutsu.

But one like Uchiha Yuzhen's, which defied all logic, was something he was seeing for the first time!

Uchiha Yuzhen turned a deaf ear to White Zetsu's roar.

He continued to strike with his blade.

Squelch—!

With a white blade in and a red blade out, Suikazan Fuguki breathed his last.

Following that, Yuzhen flicked his hand, shaking the blood droplets from the blade onto the ground.

"Hoo~ next is you." Uchiha Yuzhen exhaled a breath of stale air.

He immediately deactivated Dōjutsu: Ichimokuren.

The dōjutsu was strong!

He was very satisfied with this practical test of his dōjutsu.

The dōjutsu residing in his left eye, as a "power that achieves what one desires," was indeed exactly as described.

If one desires it—it shall be achieved!

He had desired to kill the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in a short amount of time.

And so...

The Ichimokuren eye technique anchored this future.

All the methods he knew would ultimately become the most reasonable attacks, bringing him the results he desired.

Unbeatable!

This eye technique that anchored his desired future.

It truly lived up to being a technique obtained by consuming the [Eye of the Divine Realm (Red)] trait.

Uchiha Yuzhen finally understood. His red trait was said to be a one-time use trait.

But after this trait transformed into an eye technique and he used it.

He discovered—

The red trait hadn't disappeared at all; it wasn't a one-time use at all.

It had transformed into his eye technique!

This eye technique, like Kamui, was a broken eye technique.

How broken, specifically?

Let's put it this way...

He wouldn't trade it even for Otsutsuki Yamu's Divine Technique.

"Ichimokuren... also known as Amenomehitotsu-no-Kami, Daidarabotchi..." Uchiha Yuzhen turned around. He looked at the White Zetsu. "It's worthy of being an eye technique named after the God Tree. Its power has even shocked me."

However—

The vision in his left eye had become blurry!

This technique was excellent in every way, except that it consumed a massive amount of eye power.

See, he had only used it once.

His vision was already starting to blur.

If he continued to use it at today's rate...

His eyes would likely go blind after about seven more uses.

But Uchiha Yuzhen wasn't worried about this situation at all.

His Senju of the Forest trait was already starting to work.

Traces of coolness were gathering towards his left eye.

This must be the Yang Release that could restore eye power, right?

It was just too slow.

How slow exactly, he couldn't calculate yet as the battle wasn't over.

But it didn't matter.

He still had another backup.

The White Zetsu!

With this thought, he walked towards the White Zetsu.

At this moment, the White Zetsu also reacted.

It immediately tried to sink into the ground.

"Hey, white guy, where do you think you're running off to?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yuzhen's question, the White Zetsu immediately looked up.

"Why should I tell you where I'm going? Don't be so naive, Uchiha brat!"

"Is that so? I think you can't escape anywhere!"

"Anyone can talk big, you lit—" Before the White Zetsu could finish speaking, what appeared in its eyes was...

Uchiha Yuzhen's dazzling Mangekyō Sharingan.

Buzz—!

Eye power surged, and the White Zetsu instantly became dazed.

"Damn it! It's Genjutsu!"

He had been careless!

He shouldn't have made eye contact when facing an Uchiha one-on-one.

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

This cunning brat!

Once I escape, I'll definitely have Lord Madara come and nip you in the bud.

You brat... you are far too dangerous!

Knowing he had been caught, the Special White Zetsu hurriedly gathered his chakra.

Rip—!

The chakra destroyed a portion of his body tissue, allowing him to break free from the genjutsu.

"Not bad, but... it's already too late!" Uchiha Yuzhen smiled coldly.

Whoosh.

A kunai wrapped in a Flying Thunder God Talisman struck the White Zetsu's head before he could fully react.

For this Special White Zetsu, this was not a fatal wound.

As a biological weapon designed by Kaguya, and especially as the most unique among them, he was by no means some mass-produced fodder that would die from a pierced skull.

"Damn brat, do you think you've won just because of this?" Grabbing the kunai, the White Zetsu pulled it out of his head.

Seeing this, the corners of Uchiha Yuzhen's mouth curled into a mocking arc.

"You finally took the bait!"

"What bait?"

"Why, the fact that I've marked you with my seal, you idiot!"

The moment the words fell, the talisman wrapped around the kunai in the White Zetsu's hand began to change.

Hiss, hiss, hiss—!

Amidst the sound, strings of runes slithered out, climbing up the White Zetsu's arm and rapidly converging at his heart to form a magatama-shaped seal.

"What is this?" The White Zetsu was horrified to find himself entangled by these inexplicable runes.

This gave him a new appreciation for Uchiha Yuzhen's cunning.

He decided that if he managed to escape alive, he would advise Lord Madara that this boy must be killed immediately and could not be left alive.

Otherwise, if this brat were allowed to continue growing, heaven only knew how strong he would become!

"That is my Flying Thunder God Seal..." Uchiha Yuzhen looked at the White Zetsu with a beaming smile, saying with victory in his grasp: "You have nowhere left to run!"

Hearing this, the White Zetsu's heart sank.

He knew this technique.

Once marked, this brat could instantly teleport to his side.

He truly had nowhere left to run.

"Hoo~" The White Zetsu seemed to have made a decision: "Since I can't escape, then I'll fight for my life!"

Clap—!

He pressed his palms together.

Chakra boiled around his body.

The White Zetsu let out a ferocious roar:

"Wood Style: Wood Human Technique!"
