White Zetsu: Help Me, Mr. Madara!

A day later, after the Third Raikage was able to move freely, he immediately learned in detail about the events that had occurred during his coma through his trusted confidants, including Robui.

Following the strategy devised by Robui and others, they continued to maintain their alliance with Hidden Mist Village and maintain military deterrence against the Land of Night.

They declared that if the Land of Night escalated the situation further, they would immediately launch a full-scale military counterattack with the Hidden Mist Village.

Moreover, he quickly learned about the specific losses suffered by the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village in this incident.

What the Third Raikage didn't expect was that while he was fighting in the Land of Whirlpool, the Land of Night's retaliatory action was swift and simultaneous, destroying important industrial and transportation facilities in more than a dozen towns in the western part of the Land of Lightning, causing incalculable losses to the Land of Lightning.

Fortunately, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning provided timely assistance, and the overall number of casualties was not high.

After all, the ones who suffered the most casualties were the Hidden Cloud Village he had brought with him to fight.

Especially the Anbu, almost a third of them were lost in this operation.

In the subsequent counter-encirclement battle in the southern part of the Land of Lightning, the number of ninja casualties reached over a thousand.

When this figure fell into the eyes of the Third Raikage Third Raikage, every word made his heart bleed, causing him immense heartache and even unprecedented regret.

Although the Hidden Cloud Village successfully brought back some special products of the Uzumaki Clan during this operation, unlike the Hidden Mist Village which failed miserably and gained nothing, with the Third Mizukage's fate still unknown... however, this small gain and the Hidden Cloud Village's losses in this operation were insignificant.

According to the analysis by professional personnel, although the scrolls that were taken back from the Uzumaki Clan contained many Sealing Jutsu, they did not involve high-level Sealing Jutsu for sealing Tailed Beasts.

For the Hidden Cloud Village, these Sealing Jutsu could be a bonus, but not a lifeline.

Even if we continue to improve and optimize these Sealing Jutsu, it will still require a lot of time and effort.

"... Robui, I'm leaving these matters to you."

After reading all the reports, the Third Raikage remained silent for a moment before handing the matter over to Robui.

Take care of yourself.

Robui didn't refuse; he simply gave Third Raikage a word of advice and then took on all the work there.

He knew very well the source of the Raikage's inner turmoil and the reason for his departure.

I guess they plan to spend more time on spiritual practice from now on.

'At Lord Raikage's current age, although he can still improve, he has basically reached his limit; at most, he can only expand his 'technique' a little further...'

Robui analyzed where the Third Raikage could improve, concluding that Third Raikage could only improve his skills.

As for Chakra and physical strength, the Third Raikage had already honed them to the limits he could reach.

Otherwise, one can only learn those Forbidden Jutsu that come with both risks and power.

Thinking about this, Robui suddenly felt that the Second Shogun of the Land of Night was quite outrageous.

The Third Raikage, A, possessed a physique and Chakra reserves completely comparable to those of Tailed Beasts. When the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails went berserk, he fought alone on the front lines, engaging in close combat with the fully-formed Tailed Beasts without being at a disadvantage, thus creating an excellent opportunity for the Sealing Squad to seal them...

The result was that such a powerful being was exhausted and fell ill on the battlefield by that Second Shogun...

Keep in mind, that Second Shogun is only twenty-nine years old, not even thirty yet, and has at least another ten years of upward mobility ahead of him...

"How do we deal with such a monster, and his equally monstrous brother...?"

Robui suddenly felt an unbearable headache.

Compared to Konoha and the Land of Fire, the Land of Night is the true threat to Hidden Cloud Village!

Akanishta Heavenly Dao Palace.

Unlike the tense international atmosphere outside, this place seems to be completely unaffected. The people inside continue to live their lives at their usual pace, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility, like a secluded Pure Land.

The Ninth Floor, the Hisoten.

Inside the spacious, brightly lit laboratory, numerous humanoid puppet assistants, clad in sterilized white lab coats, provided assistance.

Nene, wearing a white robe over her shrine maiden attire, was processing precious materials transported from Nightview City.

Although the Uzumaki Clan suffered heavy losses in this incident, with most of its forces wiped out, the Land of Night gained a great deal.

Not only did they take in all the remaining forces of the Uzumaki Clan, but they also obtained the corpses of many highly skilled ninjas, many of whom were elite ninjas whose names were on the Land of Night's Intelligence Integration Department's list but whose details were lacking.

The most precious item inside is the body of the Third Mizukage himself.

One of the Five Kage was arguably the biggest gain from this operation.

Once all the secrets within this body are unlocked, then many of Kirigakure's secrets will be no different from being naked in the eyes of the Land of Night.

Unraveling the secrets within this body is not so simple.

Even after death, the various traps and techniques left behind by a ninja of this caliber during their lifetime would undoubtedly send chills down one's spine.

The slightest carelessness could damage the corpse, wasting such high-quality material.

Therefore, Nightview City sent the body of the Third Mizukage to the Tendou Heavenly Dao Palace for disposal.

Compared to Nightview City, the security level here is much higher, so there's no need to worry about such materials being stolen.

Nene turned to look at another operating table not far away, where Hisana was standing, wearing a white coat, personally dissecting the body of the Third Mizukage.

It can be said that when it comes to dismantling Sealing Jutsu, Cursed Seal Jutsu, and other trap techniques, no one in the Land of Night can surpass her, and she is also the most suitable candidate in the Land of Night to handle the corpse of the Third Mizukage.

Just thinking about how Hisana had volunteered so eagerly after the Third Mizukage's body had just been transported over, Nene felt that there was a bit of personal grudge involved.

This was the first time she had ever seen Hisana so energetic, except for that kind of sacred thing.

Turning her head, Nene stopped paying attention to that side and looked at the experimental subject lying on her operating table.

White, humanoid.

They appear human, but their species is unknown; they are strange creatures that call themselves White Zetsu.

Unlike the deceased Third Mizukage, this one is alive.

She was just too talkative, so she sealed the other person's mouth shut with special tape, leaving them only able to stare blankly.

"Hmm? What's this thing...?"

Nene cut open a small piece of the other person's body tissue and examined it under a microscope on the workbench next to her. Then, she suddenly widened her eyes, and an indescribable look of shock appeared in her eyes.

Seemingly to ensure that her guess was correct, she adjusted the angles and observed the scene several times in succession.

Finally, she took a step back, away from the high-precision Chakra microscope used for observation, her face suddenly blank, as if she hadn't recovered from some result she had just observed.

"This is impossible..."

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she walked to the Supercomputer not far away, roughly pushed aside the puppet assistant, and started typing on the keys herself to find the document she wanted, turning the pages one by one.

"Found it, found it, that's it... Sure enough, this is..."

Nene murmured, her voice trembling, her ruby-red eyes fixed on the confidential document on the computer, a light she had never seen before shining in them.

Nene suddenly turned her head, her gaze fixed on White Zetsu on the operating table.

White Zetsu's constantly twisting and struggling body suddenly stiffened. Looking at Nene's terrifying eyes, which were like those of a demon, Bai Jue, who had never known fear before, suddenly felt a chill run down its spine.

This inherently evil white-haired witch, she wouldn't be thinking of putting it in a pot and stewing it, would she?

Lord Madara, please save the White Zetsu!
