Seeing Through the Killing Trap

Qian Ye leaped lightly from branch to branch.

The night wind swept across his cheeks.

He did not look back.

But Observation Haki had already spread out from him, forming an invisible net.

The Observation Haki brought across worlds was an overwhelming advantage in the Ninja World.

No hand seals were needed.

No Chakra fluctuations were needed.

Deep underground.

A cold, sticky mass of Chakra was moving soundlessly.

Its presence was slimy, like a rat wriggling through a sewer.

A cold smile curled across Qian Ye's lips.

So it really was that man-eating flower with two faces.

Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.

He had long guessed that Obito had caught Madara Uchiha's attention.

The timing was perfect.

The battle at Kannabi Bridge was about to break out.

That old fossil Madara was hiding in some underground hole, worrying over where to find a suitable successor.

An Uchiha like Obito, dense but deeply sentimental, was absolutely perfect material for brainwashing.

Zetsu was following him now to assess Obito's value.

Qian Ye did not expose them.

There was no benefit in alerting the enemy now.

It would be easy to drag Zetsu out and beat him up.

But if he provoked the elderly Madara too much, the old man might bring out Susanoo and fight desperately.

Qian Ye still could not completely withstand that.

The night was thick and dark.

Qian Ye led the team through the dense forest.

Four figures swept over the treetops beneath the cover of darkness.

They finally stopped on a dead branch three hundred meters from the abandoned mine.

This was the handoff point left by Hidden Leaf intelligence personnel.

Ahead stood a bare stone mountain.

At the base of the mountain was a pitch-black cave entrance.

It resembled a ferocious beast with its jaws wide open.
