Ch. 424The General Didn't Care
Flying Kite, Sakumo, and Ryoma fought Tobi’s giant Wood Release figure while trying to reach a house that proved to be a trap. Irori revealed that the Land of Night’s real goal was to identify who controlled Nagato, and the White Zetsu fled after she connected their actions to Madara.
- Flying Kite attacked Tobi’s wooden figure with Magnet Release, but Tobi answered with a Wood Dragon and a massive technique that shattered Flying Kite’s iron puppet.
- Sakumo and Ryoma reached the house, where a red-haired woman’s Sharingan genjutsu left Ryoma vulnerable to white arms emerging from the ground.
- Irori and Natsuki arrived, rescued Ryoma, and identified the red-haired woman and child as fakes set as a trap.
- Irori questioned the White Zetsu and explained that her master chiefly wanted to discover who was behind Nagato, not necessarily obtain the Rinnegan.
- The White Zetsu realized Irori had drawn information from them and burrowed underground to escape.
