Chapitre 51: Chapter 50: Where It's Needed, It's Cut
A dense, gloomy forest, where one couldn't predict what creature might emerge next.
Raijin stepped on a branch and continued walking forward.
Ahead was the place where he had fought Obito before.
Last time, Obito said that if they were to go to war, Raijin could find him here.
Could this guy have left a White Zetsu here?
"Hello!"
At that moment, a white object emerged from the ground, waving at Raijin.
It had light green hair and a comical expression on its face.
A White Zetsu!
Raijin's eyes lit up. He didn't expect there to be a White Zetsu here.
White Zetsu held a high status in the Naruto world.
They could be used for anything, anywhere.
They could even serve as materials for Edo Tensei.
They were top-notch materials.
People reanimated with White Zetsu wouldn't lose control.
Although Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama might not be completely restrained,
the Second Hokage definitely wouldn't be a problem.
Raijin looked at the White Zetsu with some interest.
"Are you the contact Obito left here?"
Raijin looked at the White Zetsu with a calm expression.
He scanned the White Zetsu up and down, his fingers feeling a bit itchy.
Obito might not know the value of a White Zetsu, but Raijin certainly did.
"That's right! Are you ready to start the decisive battle between the Uchiha clan and Konoha?"
The White Zetsu jumped down from the tree and landed in front of Raijin, asking with a grin.
They had no emotions, like blank slates.
So things like killing didn't affect them at all.
"We can attack Konoha in about five days. You can inform Obito to take action."
"If there are any problems, tell him to come find me in the Uchiha compound."
Raijin nodded slightly.
"I've already informed Obito. He should be here soon."
A branch extended from beneath the White Zetsu's feet and pierced into the ground.
In a short time, it had exchanged information with other White Zetsu.
This was one of the White Zetsu's abilities; their intelligence gathering capabilities were very strong.
"Wood Style? What are you?"
Raijin narrowed his eyes and circled the White Zetsu curiously, asking.
If the White Zetsu hadn't come out earlier, Raijin wouldn't have even sensed its presence.
This ability was quite good. Could he perhaps make use of it?
"Me? I'm a product created by Madara-sama using Hashirama-sama's cells."
The White Zetsu scratched its head, looking somewhat innocent and ignorant.
It felt that Raijin's gaze was a bit scary.
This guy looked like he wanted to eat someone.
How could Obito cooperate with such a bad person?
"Uchiha Madara?"
Raijin's eyes lit up as he looked at the White Zetsu in surprise.
Uchiha Madara claimed to have fused a few of Hashirama's cells to create a few White Zetsu.
But in reality, they were unique individuals selected by Black Zetsu from among the White Zetsu.
Unlike the individual clones of White Zetsu, these individuals possess some unique traits. For instance, Tobi could freely utilize Wood Style and, when possessing Yamato, could even unleash the Wood Style: Thousand-Armed True Buddha Technique. And now, the one before Rainin turned out to be another unique individual White Zetsu.
"Unexpected indeed. From now on, you'll follow me," Rainin said earnestly, patting the White Zetsu's shoulder.
"Uh, I still need to report back!" The White Zetsu's eyes darted around as he quickly took two steps back. He sensed ill intentions from the person before him. This clearly wasn't a good guy. What future was there in following him?
"That's not up to you!" Rainin raised a hand and formed a seal. Instantly, a cluster of curse marks appeared where he had just patted, completely enveloping the White Zetsu's body! His chakra was suppressed, and the curse marks restricted his movements.
Though devoid of emotions, the White Zetsu knew the person before him had ulterior motives. He tried to burst his chakra several times but couldn't break through Rainin's curse marks.
"Just obediently become my power. What's the point of serving under Obito? You'll end up as cannon fodder. Follow me, and I'll let you shine," Rainin said, walking over and patting the White Zetsu's shoulder again.
His pupils distorted, and a swirling vortex appeared, swallowing the White Zetsu whole. The White Zetsu didn't even have a chance to resist.
Satisfied, Rainin returned to his residence. He saw Uchiha Izumi had arrived with his mother. Without any fuss, he pulled another person into the Kamui dimension.
The Kamui dimension had food, drinks, and even man-made houses. There was no need to worry about food or shelter; it was currently the best environment.
Rainin felt refreshed, but others might not. In the past two days, members of the Uchiha clan had been causing trouble outside. Some shameless ones even defecated on the gates of the Sarutobi clan. Such disgusting acts made other clans avoid them.
Yet, at this very moment, invitations from Uchiha Rainin arrived. Several clans gathered and began discussing amongst themselves.
In the Nara clan's reception room, several clan heads had assembled.
"This time, our Hyuga clan will not participate," Hyuga Hiashi declared straightforwardly as soon as everyone was present. Without another glance at the others, he left the Nara residence. He had already declined the Uchiha clan's invitation at home. They were all prominent clans of Konoha; he didn't believe the Uchiha would dare to do anything to them. The Uchiha were causing such a ruckus in the village; would joining them not be courting death for the Hyuga?
"Clan Head Hiashi is forthright. Since he doesn't intend to participate, let's continue our discussion," Nara Shikaku said. "Choza, how many people from your clan did the Uchiha invite this time?"
"My family of three, plus two young Jonin from our clan," Akimichi Choza replied with a憨thick smile, scratching his head. He held snacks in his hand, continuously stuffing them into his mouth.
"Same for us. They asked me to bring my wife and daughter, along with two young clan members," said Yamanaka Inoichi.
"Exactly the same for us," Aburame Shibi added.
"Me too!" Inuzuka Tsume chimed in.
They hadn't expected it to be the same for everyone. There were no other requests, as if it were just a sightseeing trip. This whole thing felt off. Why bring Jonin to a sparring session between juniors? Was it to prevent trouble? With so many people gathered, who would dare cause a scene?
"Hmm," Nara Shikaku pondered.
Shikaku's situation was identical to theirs. He was to go to the Uchiha compound with his wife and son, along with two clan members around twenty years old, both Jonin level. He had investigated those two Jonin; they had no connections to the Uchiha clan and had barely even spoken to them. Yet, they were also invited.
All these invitees shared a common trait: they were young and powerful, possessing the potential to shoulder the future burdens of their clans. With sufficient resources, they could grow even stronger. They were the future pillars of Konoha, ensuring their clans' stability within the village.
