A Little Side Story: Koki's Observation Diary-White Zetsu
Ai had not left, his eyes filled with admiration and bewilderment as he looked at his father—the legendary figure hailed as the strongest Raikage in history.
He frowned slightly and asked, puzzled, "Father, why didn't you send Killer B Konoha to investigate?"
The A–B Allied Forces is considered the pinnacle of power in Kumogakure, renowned far and wide with few rivals. A had long heard of Konoha's strength and always wanted to witness it firsthand. He firmly believed that his combination with Killer B could achieve victory in any battle.
Ai turned her head slightly, looking at her young and spirited son, whose courage and fighting spirit were evident, yet in Ai's eyes, his naivety was still obvious.
The Raikage's gaze returned to the front. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "Konoha is not as weak as you imagine. It has many powerful ninjas whose strength and wisdom should not be underestimated. We should always maintain a sense of awe towards any opponent, especially a powerful enemy like Konoha."
Ai Wei was stunned; her father's high regard for Konoha was beyond her expectations.
The combination of himself and Killer B was virtually invincible in Kumogakure; their strength and courage led them to victory after victory on the battlefield.
"Father, are we afraid to challenge Konoha just because it's strong?"
"Our group possesses absolute strength; our strength is evident throughout the entire Shinobi World."
"Don't let temporary victory go to your head. Konoha has a wealth of combat experience. Their ninjas are skilled in various Ninjutsu and work together seamlessly, making them a formidable fighting force. We cannot act rashly; we must be fully prepared and have a strategy."
Don't be as stupid as Ōnoki!
Ai fell silent, pondering his father's words. He truly knew too little about Konoha, this unknown adversary.
"When will we have the chance?" Ai raised her head and looked at her father again.
"The timing requires our patience. When we have a deeper understanding of Konoha, when our preparations are more complete, and when the situation is more favorable to us, I will send you there."
"Good!"
In a mysterious corner of Kyoto City, more than a dozen white figures silently gathered together. These White Zetsu were diligently carrying out the important mission entrusted to them by Lord Madara.
Their gazes were fixed on the boy named Koki not far away, launching a meticulous surveillance operation that was flawless and watertight from every angle.
"Hey, look at this! This little guy from the Uchiha Clan is so handsome! He's like a fairy who stepped out of a painting."
"That's absolutely right! Look at that delicate face, those rosy cheeks, tsk tsk tsk... I wish I could have looks like that!"
The other White Zetsu was also filled with envy, and couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his own 'ordinary' white face.
"Oh dear, what good is being good-looking? She's just too lazy, sleeping until noon every day before getting up!" At this moment, a slightly dissatisfied mutter came from the side.
"Hehe, in my opinion, he's probably even more powerful than our Lord Madara!" Someone suddenly blurted out such a startling remark.
"Shh! Keep your voice down, you rascal! If Lord Madara hears you, you're in big trouble!"
"It would be wonderful if he could become one of us!"
"You're dreaming! You should know they're from the Uchiha Clan, and everyone in that clan is a lunatic. We'd better stay far away from them."
One of the White Zetsu, however, didn't seem to care, twisting its body and striking what it thought was a very charming pose.
"Maybe with my unique charm, I can successfully attract him!"
Hearing this, White Zetsu help but roll his eyes and scoffed, "You? What charm do you have? Look at you, you're just like a white dough ball."
The White Zetsu, feeling insulted, glared at him angrily. "What did you say! You look exactly like me too!"
Shh! Be quiet, he's finally woken up and come out of the house.
Upon hearing this, the White Zetsu immediately fell silent, concealing their presence and carefully hiding themselves.
Koki stretched and slowly Earth Flow of the room.
"Hurry up and follow him, see where he's planning to go."
At the command, the White Zetsu Army fell silent instantly, following closely behind Koki.
"Hmph, shopping again..."
"I really don't understand why he sleeps until noon every day and then goes out to stroll around and shop. Shouldn't ninjas be training hard? This guy, on the other hand, lives such a leisurely life!"
The White Zetsu puffed out their cheeks, widened their eyes, and stared angrily at the receding figure ahead, their hearts filled with extreme resentment and unfairness.
Why is that? Everyone here is working themselves to the bone performing tedious and boring surveillance tasks, yet that guy named Koki is able to laze around and do nothing in the Daimyo Prefecture!
"Absolutely! That's so unfair!"
Just then, a mysterious voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. "Hehehe, you guys know what? I just heard some super juicy gossip!"
The speaker was none other than White Zetsu, who had disguised himself as a maid and infiltrated the Daming Mansion.
"What? What gossip? Tell us quickly!" The other White Zetsu immediately perked up.
The maid-like White Zetsu cleared her throat, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense. "Ahem... It's said that the lord's beloved son has special feelings for Koki!"
"What? What's this special emotion?" The White Zetsu looked blank, clearly unaware of this complex human emotion.
You should know that these White Zetsu don't even understand the most basic physiological needs—like going to the toilet!
Faced with everyone's questions, the White Zetsu who knew the inside story puffed out his chest smugly and explained, "Well, to put it simply, the Daimyo's son always likes to stick to Koki, following him around in circles all day long!"
"Oh, I see!" The White Zetsu nodded, seemingly understanding.
But soon someone raised a new question, "So, does that mean that other Uchiha Clan kid also likes Koki? Why is he always sticking close to Koki?"
For a time, opinions were divided, and the scene became somewhat chaotic.
"Hmm... it does seem kind of interesting!" White Zetsu, who had previously leaked the information, scratched his head and replied thoughtfully.
"I remember when I was a maid, I often heard my fellow maids talk about this. They all said that the Uchiha brat was not only good-looking, but also had a very gentle personality!"
The White Zetsu stared intently at Koki with an incredibly gentle smile, Shisui a wave of emotion washed over them.
"Why don't we report to Lord Madara and request a change of personnel for the mission? After all, this person seems more easily fooled."
"You go and say it?" The other White Zetsu all turned their gazes to the White Zetsu who had spoken.
Surprisingly, he was holding a cup of sweet and delicious milk tea in his left hand and a skewer of fragrant grilled meat in his right, enjoying it immensely and completely immersed in the pleasure brought by the food.
In an instant, all the White Zetsu Jurchens launched a chorus of condemnation and criticism against it.
What exactly are you doing?
"Damn it!"
"How embarrassing!"
What a disgrace! This is an utter disgrace to the entire White Zetsu Army!
Faced with everyone's accusations, the White Zetsu appeared completely innocent. He blinked his big eyes and said with a grin, "Hehe, everyone, don't be angry! Want to try my milk tea? It's on me today!"
"Today, milk tea is buy one get one free!" he said, holding up his milk tea cup and gesturing to his companions.
At that moment, all the White Zetsu were stunned, unsure how to respond.
Doesn't this guy realize that his behavior is excessive?
You must understand, they are White Zetsu carrying out an important mission; how could they be so easily lured by external temptations?
However, it can't be entirely blamed on him. Who would have thought that so many milk tea shops would open in the bustling Kyoto City?
And that guy named Uchiha Kōki is indeed quite Gozu, knowing how to cater to people's tastes and needs.
Every time he passed by those milk tea shops, he couldn't help Earth Flow and buy a cup.
Strangely enough, despite having carefully examined his physical condition and confirmed that he had not been affected by any Genjutsu, he was still able to perform the ritual.
But why is it still so irresistible to the charm of this delicious drink?
Perhaps this is one of the most irresistible temptations in the human world...
"..."
"Let's continue our conversation. For some reason, I have a feeling that this blond guy seems to have a crush on him."
One of the White Zetsu stared intently at Minato Namikaze, who was standing beside Koki, diligently helping her carry her belongings, and muttered to itself.
"In my opinion, that sickly-looking guy probably has feelings for him too! I'm voting for him!"
"Hmph, if you ask me, the one wearing the mask is the most handsome and dashing!"
"Obito is actually pretty good!"
"If we're talking about cuteness, his younger brother has to be the cutest!"
These White Zetsu, who had once infiltrated the Uchiha Clan, were fortunate enough to witness Itachi closely following Koki when he was a child.
At that time, the weasel was an innocent little cub with a chubby face that was so endearing that it instantly won their hearts.
Because of the special resonance ability among White Zetsu, if one White Zetsu sees a certain scene, all the other White Zetsu can sense it.
At that moment, everyone spontaneously recalled Itachi's adorable appearance and nodded in agreement.
"Speaking of which, I wonder how he's doing these days. When we have some free time, let's disguise ourselves as the old man next door and go visit him!" a White Zetsu suddenly suggested.
"Sure, anyway, Lord Madara is trapped in that dark cave and can't get out!" another White Zetsu immediately responded.
"Oh dear, Lord Madara is truly pitiful and pathetic," another White Zetsu couldn't help but sigh.
"That's right! If he's not pitiful, then we'll be the ones who are pitiful! slurp"
The White Zetsu all burst into gloating laughter at the same time.
"But what exactly is this thing?" a White Zetsu asked curiously.
"When did you go and buy this?" another White Zetsu asked immediately.
"Is it good?" Another White Zetsu couldn't wait to know the answer.
"What does it taste like?" The last White Zetsu's voice was full of anticipation.
Faced with everyone's questions, White Zetsu, who was being glared at, scratched his head innocently and muttered to himself: I don't know what happened either. I just inexplicably walked into that milk tea shop and bought this cup.
Could it be Genjutsu? But thinking about it carefully, something doesn't seem right!
"Hmph, what a coward! Even if you drink it, do you think you can urinate it again?" a White Zetsu sneered disdainfully.
"Hehehe, speaking of which, what's it like to go to the toilet? I'd really like to experience it." White Zetsu said with a grin.
I don't know.
Shh—keep your voice down, don't make a sound, he's already gone!
"Hurry up, keep up, don't fall behind!"
And so, the White Zetsu looked at each other helplessly as Koki and her group went into several milk tea shops, barbecue restaurants, and card rooms, and each time they came out, they were carrying huge piles of items.
"My goodness, these guys are so rich and extravagant! It makes me so envious!"
Oh, I see! So they were inspecting their own shops!
At this moment, in a corner of the bustling Kyoto City, the door of a bubble tea shop was slowly pushed open, Koki walked out of the shop with a leisurely air.
He carefully held a steaming cup of milk tea in both hands, his head slightly lowered, his gaze intently fixed on the fragrant drink in his hands, his eyes revealing a heart full of joy.
Koki picked up her milk tea cup and gently sipped it.
As the milk tea slowly flowed down his throat, his cheeks gradually puffed out, just like a lively and adorable little squirrel diligently storing up food for winter.
His innocent and adorable appearance is so endearing that you can't help but want to pinch his little cheeks.
This scene stunned not only those around him, but also the White Zetsu.
Wow, so cute!
"He seems a bit lazy..."
I really want to pinch his chubby little cheeks right now!
"Let me go first!"
"Oh dear, why is he out shopping again?"
"By the way, how do we complete the task Lord Madara assigned us?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of every White Zetsu, instantly calming them down.
For a moment, the entire scene fell silent, and all the White Zetsu fell into deep thought.
Right, how can we ensure that Koki successfully encounters the ninjas on a reconnaissance mission outside Konoha?
