"That day in the Land of Whirlpools... that must have been him too, right?"
"Could he have... noticed something was off with the Uchiha and come here specifically to snoop around?"
This was hardly a good sign.
Uchiha Chisato wanted to seize him outright, but remembering Xunjing's warning about how uncanny that creature was, she forced herself to hold back.
She simply pretended she had noticed nothing, while secretly using Observation Haki to keep a close watch on his every move.
There was no helping it. Black Zetsu had been created with Yin-Yang Release, and she currently had no good way to subdue him, much less trap him.
All she could do was wait and see whether an opportunity arose later.
"Maybe... I should visit Uzumaki Mito and ask whether she has any ideas?"
Uchiha Chisato mulled it over.
Against something neither human nor ghost, she figured Sealing Arts might be the most effective approach.
Of course, even if there really was a sealing technique capable of dealing with Black Zetsu, she had no intention of using it just yet.
According to the information Xunjing had given her, Madara Uchiha was still very much alive and kicking.
The more Jiri thought about it, the more uneasy she became.
She suddenly realized that Black Zetsu had most likely gone to the Land of Whirlpools to capture members of the Uzumaki Clan and use them to nurture Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan.
By now, Madara's eyes had very likely matured completely.
A chill ran down her back at the thought.
Madara Uchiha at this stage was far beyond anyone she could take on.
If she actually captured and sealed Black Zetsu, she might provoke that old monster into taking action himself.
That would be a terrible bargain.
"In the end, I'm still too weak."
