A wretched scream rang out!
The White Zetsu posing as a wounded soldier slammed heavily into the ground, splashing up dirt!
Its earlier actions had already been enough to reveal the problem.
So the surrounding ninja rushed forward in unison and pinned it firmly to the ground.
"Urgh!"
As its appearance shifted, the restrained wounded soldier revealed White Zetsu's unmistakably pale form.
"It really is a White Zetsu!"
"Damn it, it was going to ambush us!"
"Kill it!"
"We should interrogate it to find out whether there are any other White Zetsu planning sneak attacks."
"Never mind how many White Zetsu are coming to ambush us. We need to tighten security in the camp immediately!"
Amid the clamor of discussion, Hyuga Hiashi stepped forward, glanced at the restrained White Zetsu, and waved for it to be taken away.
Since they had confirmed it was a White Zetsu sneak attack, there was nothing more to say. They just had to remain on guard.
He had already made preparations for this.
The passwords were meant to counter White Zetsu's transformation technique.
There was no helping it. White Zetsu's transformations were absurdly effective. As long as they absorbed someone's chakra, they could disguise themselves perfectly as anyone.
Even the Byakugan could not tell them apart.
That left them with no choice but to use other methods to verify identities.
Passwords, for instance!
Hiashi turned to look. The commotion had been rather loud and had already drawn quite a few people over.
Even the ninja taking their rest shifts had been woken up.
That would not do.
White Zetsu's sneak attacks certainly called for vigilance, but there was no need to leave everyone frightened over them.
Otherwise, no one would be able to rest properly.
If orders came down from Allied Shinobi Forces Headquarters,
