--------------------------------------------------------------
At this moment, the Hidden Stone Village had become cautious due to the Cloud Village's attack two years ago. Because the Cloud Village had also joined the war, the Hidden Stone Village dared not let its guard down and always kept a portion of its ninja forces on alert against the Cloud Village. Therefore, there was hardly any action from the Hidden Stone Village directed towards Konoha's side in the past two years.
So, the battlefield where Sōsuke was stationed remained relatively calm for these two years. The weather was exceptionally clear, with brilliant sunshine and a gentle breeze.
The warm sunlight felt pleasant on the skin, exuding a lazy ambiance. Near the base, after greeting the meeting ninja, Sōsuke slowly walked away, seemingly without a trace.
Before long, he arrived at a secluded location near the base. It was an extremely peaceful environment.
He wore a slight smile on his lips, but beneath his glasses, his eyes shimmered with an unknown glint.
"Swish!"
He slowly drew Kyōka Suigetsu from his waist. The pristine blade glistened as usual with a snowy sheen, radiating a brilliant light under the sunlight.
Sōsuke slowly held the blade vertically in front of him, his face carrying a tranquil smile as he murmured softly, "Shatter, Kyōka Suigetsu."
It was as if the entire space rippled around the blade, with the blade's center as the epicenter of this disturbance.
Meanwhile, on the thick trunk of a distant tree, within the dense green leaves, a white figure bizarrely merged with the tree's surface, hiding and watching Sōsuke's every move.
"Huh... What is that guy doing?"
"Pulling out a sword out of thin air. Could he be practicing sword techniques? With his strength, I doubt he cares much about acquiring more power."
"That kind of power that even caught the attention of Madara... What a terrifying little demon..."
A white figure hid in the concealed corner of the tree trunk, secretly spying and occasionally muttering to himself.
Suddenly!
In the blink of an eye, the figure of Sōsuke, not far from his view, disappeared!
"Huh!? Strange, where did that guy go?"
The white figure swayed his body, looking around and whispered in confusion.
At this moment!
A magnetic and gentle voice rang softly in his ear, like a refreshing breeze.
"Excuse me, are you looking for me?"
Hearing this voice, the white figure's pupils shrank suddenly!
Oh no!
That guy discovered him!!
His body was about to sink down toward the large tree beneath him!
His body seemed to blend with the tree, and the descent was incredibly fast, as if there was no hindrance!
Just then!
"Bakudō #61. Rikujōkōrō!"
With a gentle chant, six bands of light instantly pierced the white figure, which hadn't fully descended into the tree trunk.
Once the bands of light pierced him, the white figure's movements were instantly halted!
Watching the immobilized white figure, Sōsuke slowly lowered his head, wearing a faint smile on his lips. His eyes, however, displayed a hint of surprise.
"So, there's still a life form with this kind of existence?"
"Could this also be a Kekkei Genkai...?"
Sōsuke murmured softly, his tone gentle.
In this situation of being bound, the white figure did not seem afraid. Instead, he looked at Sōsuke and spoke softly, raising a question.
"How did you detect my presence? My ninjutsu should have isolated all my breath during activation."
Upon hearing this, Sōsuke smiled and replied softly.
"If it's for an exchange, then please tell me your name."
Clearly, upon hearing Sōsuke's words, the white figure showed a noticeable pause in expression but soon disregarded it.
"My name is Zetsu, I already know your name. So, as part of the exchange, Sōsuke, you should tell me how you detected my presence."
Sōsuke didn't deceive him and said softly.
"It's sensing, sensing from Kenjutsu. Although my sensing range isn't particularly large, I had more than enough to sense your distance from me."
Hearing Sōsuke's words, Jue appeared surprised and exclaimed.
"To think that someone like you would practice Kenjutsu in this ninja era. It's truly incredible."
In response, Sōsuke cast a brief glance at him and chuckled.
"If a life form like you can exist, then practicing Kenjutsu should be quite normal."
Hearing Sōsuke's words, Zetsu nodded slightly and murmured.
"Fair point."
The conversation between the two was calm and friendly, as if they were old friends reuniting after many years, quite peculiar.
At this moment, Zetsu suddenly looked at Sōsuke and said.
"However, thank you for revealing so much information to me. It's quite useful."
"Goodbye, Sōsuke."
Jue revealed a faint smile.
In response to his words, Sōsuke continued to wear a gentle smile, as if he wasn't concerned at all that Jue might escape.
At this point, looking at Sōsuke's confident expression, Zetsu, who was firmly trapped by the six bands of light, tilted his head towards Sōsuke and couldn't help but wonder.
"Aren't you worried at all? Or do you have such strong confidence in your ninjutsu?"
Hearing his words, Sōsuke's black eyes beneath his glasses narrowed slightly. He looked at Zetsu and spoke softly.
"You must be a clone, right? Based on what you said earlier, it seems you have a way to relay information back."
"In that case, even if I were to eliminate you, it seems like you wouldn't pose any real threat. So, doing anything to you would be meaningless."
After hearing Sōsuke's explanation, Zetsu was slightly surprised but continued to stare at Sōsuke, whispering softly.
"You're an amazing guy, to be able to analyze so much useful information from just a few simple words."
"Someone like you... I've only felt this way about one person before."
"Goodbye, Sōsuke. I hope we'll have a chance to meet again."
With that, Zetsu's strange yellow pupils stared at Sōsuke before his body suddenly burst with a "bang."
The ground was covered in strange white spores from his body, and even a few scattered specks landed on Sōsuke's clothes.
Sōsuke watched this scene with a smile on his face. When he saw the white specks landing on his clothes, a glint of intrigue flashed in his eyes.
"Sizzle, sizzle!"
Countless electric sparks suddenly flashed all over his body!
"Snap!"
Several charred spores lightly fell to the ground.
Standing in place, Sōsuke wore a smile on his face, and beneath his glasses, his eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity as he murmured softly.
"Truly... intriguing..."
"Zetsu... to think there's someone like you... I wonder who's behind you..."
"Is it the Hidden Villages... or Immortal Cave... or perhaps some remnants from legends..."
