Chương 26: Chapter 26: Zetsu’s Mistake
"Forget it..."
"Better head back and report to the main body. This kid isn't what he looks."
A white figure observed quietly for a moment, studying the boy before him. He was just about to retreat along the tree trunk when—
"Hey, what's the rush?"
A light laugh came from below.
"Body Flicker Jutsu?"
White Zetsu's clone was startled. "You... you actually detected me?"
He gazed down in disbelief at the figure that had suddenly appeared beneath the tree. It was hard to believe.
His stealth ability was top-notch—good enough to elude even most sensory-type shinobi.
When infiltrating, he'd even absorbed chakra from a Konoha shinobi to mimic their chakra signature, blending seamlessly to bypass the village's perimeter barrier that detected unfamiliar chakra.
"You talk too much."
In White Zetsu's shocked gaze, Kiyoshi's right arm suddenly plunged directly into the tree trunk.
"Ah... what are you doing?"
White Zetsu, who was about to flee, let out a horrified shout. To his terror, he found himself immobilized, unable to move a muscle, as a terrifying force began draining his chakra.
Before he could say anything more, the white figure vanished from the tree.
"That's hardly enough energy to be satisfying."
Kiyoshi withdrew his right hand from the trunk, as if he had just done something trivial.
He barely even glanced at the masked figure nearby, who had fallen unconscious under his Genjutsu. With his hands in his pockets, he strolled away leisurely.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, he paused, a look of surprise crossing his face. "Mayfly Technique? And the Substitution Technique?"
"Well, now this is an unexpected bonus."
After a moment of thoughtful frowning, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"It must be because White Zetsu's power is plant-based, just like me with the Wood-Wood Fruit. Even his abilities got absorbed."
Though White Zetsu's strength was mediocre, his stealth ability was undoubtedly first-class, unmatched in the shinobi world.
Even Konoha's strict defenses failed to detect his infiltration.
The Mayfly Technique allowed White Zetsu to merge his body with earth and plants, achieving high-speed movement.
By blending into the earth, he could traverse any terrain by merging with plant roots, underground water, or other organic networks, enabling him to travel quickly without a trace.
And the Substitution Technique was even more impressive.
Unlike a standard transformation jutsu, this technique allowed White Zetsu to absorb someone else's chakra and perfectly replicate it, making it almost impossible for even close associates or sensory-type ninjas to detect his deception.
In the future Fourth Great Ninja War, Zetsu's clones absorbed chakra and infiltrated the Allied Shinobi Forces, causing chaos and significant casualties.
If it hadn't been for Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, who had refined his ability to sense malevolent intent, White Zetsu's infiltration would have caused even more trouble.
These were unique powers only White Zetsu possessed. Even if White Zetsu were captured and these techniques forcibly extracted, ordinary shinobi couldn't learn them.
However, for Kiyoshi, a Nature-type Wood-Wood Fruit user, these techniques seemed tailor-made.
"I was just racking my brain about how to infiltrate the Uchiha clan undetected."
Unexpectedly, by devouring a simple White Zetsu clone, he had acquired White Zetsu's abilities, leaving Kiyoshi overjoyed.
According to his estimate, the Uchiha's downfall was imminent, likely within days.
He had been strategizing about how to benefit from the upcoming massacre.
After all, so many Sharingan couldn't simply fall into the hands of Danzo and Obito.
However, being just an eight-year-old, he wasn't yet ready to act recklessly. He wanted to avoid exposing himself too soon and getting caught in a dangerous situation.
Directly intruding was out of the question—using transformation techniques couldn't change his chakra, making it easy for him to be identified.
Both Konoha's top officials and the hidden Uchiha figures like Obito and Itachi were anything but ordinary obstacles.
"Just because ordinary physical attacks are ineffective on me doesn't mean I'm invincible..."
Kiyoshi looked off into the distance, thinking to himself.
"Although only Senjutsu chakra (Sage Chakra), with its natural energy, can harm my true form, as a Wood-Wood Fruit user, I'm immune to typical taijutsu and ninjutsu."
"But Obito's seemingly invincible Kamui, his space-time jutsu, and the endless barrage of sealing and barrier techniques… they still pose a serious threat."
In his perfected Sage Mode, Kiyoshi had tested his limits. Elementalization through the Wood-Wood Fruit wasn't true invincibility—Senjutsu chakra could indeed harm his real body.
Additionally, there was another danger. If he were ever transported to a different dimension or trapped within barriers like the Four Violet Flames Formation, or even outright sealed, it would spell trouble.
So, for now, patience was essential.
White Zetsu's abilities had come just in time.

Chương 27: Chapter 27: Infinite Darkness
Late at night.
Returning from a mission, Kurenai had just entered her room when an unsettling chill ran down her spine.
She instinctively heightened her senses, but within moments, a shadowy figure appeared before her. Without a second thought, she threw several shuriken.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, her shuriken missed their target. Just as Kurenai was about to charge forward with a kunai in hand, the masked figure formed a single-hand seal.
Genjutsu: Infinite Darkness Jutsu!
In the next instant—
Kurenai found herself plunging into darkness, her entire field of vision swallowed as though someone had stripped away her sight.
"What is this?"
Her expression shifted drastically. "A Genjutsu?"
Though the room was dim, Kurenai was an elite ninja, battle-hardened and possessing the keen eyes of a seasoned warrior.
Yet suddenly, her surroundings were so dark that she couldn't even see her own hands—it had to be Genjutsu. And Genjutsu was her specialty.
"Release!" She formed a seal, focusing her chakra to dispel the illusion.
But—
Nothing changed.
The blackness remained, shrouding her sight entirely.
"How…how is this possible?"
Kurenai was shaken. Although her years of experience had honed her skills, she was still young and couldn't help feeling a wave of panic as cold sweat trickled down her back.
She tightened her grip on the kunai, remaining vigilant. "Could this be the Second Hokage's A-rank Genjutsu, the Infinite Darkness Jutsu?"
"Hehe, Kurenai-neechan…did I scare you?"
Just then, the shadowy figure lifted his disguise.
With a snap of his fingers, the darkness vanished, restoring the room to normal.
Stopping just short of more teasing, the figure revealed himself to be Kiyoshi, his mischievous smile breaking Kurenai out of her tense state.
"Kiyoshi?"
Relieved but annoyed, Kurenai gritted her teeth, glaring at him with both frustration and a touch of anger. "Why is it you?"
"I waited up late for you, Kurenai-nee. You were taking so long, so I thought I'd have a little fun, hehe…"
Kiyoshi jumped forward, hugging Kurenai and planting a playful kiss on her cheek.
"Don't be mad so mad neechan."
"I almost had a heart attack because of you!"
Kurenai rolled her eyes.
The scare had left her drenched in sweat, and if it weren't for her familiarity with him, she might've suspected someone else using a Transformation Jutsu to trick her.
But his easy, affectionate manner was unmistakably Kiyoshi.
"How did you learn the Infinite Darkness Jutsu of the Second Hokage?" she asked, surprised.
Internally, she couldn't help but laugh wryly. She had once been praised as a rare Genjutsu talent in the village. Yet tonight, she had been outplayed by an eight-year-old.
The Infinite Darkness Jutsu was no ordinary illusion. It was an A-rank jutsu that robbed the target of their vision, creating an advantageous battleground.
Most shinobi couldn't even dispel it. But this only highlighted Kiyoshi's astonishing talent in Genjutsu—he had managed to master such a high-level technique.
"This Genjutsu was in a scroll Grandma gave me yesterday. She said it was a gift from her mother, when she got married."
Leaning comfortably against Kurenai's back, Kiyoshi spoke freely.
"Senju Toka? The legendary Genjutsu master?" Kurenai's eyes widened in shock.
When she was young, she had heard her father mentioning a powerful Genjutsu master from the Senju clan whom even the Uchiha held in high regard—Senju Toka.
Her illusions were so powerful that even the Uchiha's Sharingan had difficulty seeing through them.
"So that's your great-grandmother."
Realization dawned on Kurenai, though she quickly regained her composure.
With a swift motion, she pulled Kiyoshi off her back, her gaze fixed intently on him.
"Wait, are you saying you learned the Infinite Darkness Jutsu in just one night?"
"Yep…"
Kiyoshi nodded, recalling his training with the wood clones the previous day. "It's a powerful A-rank jutsu—but its difficulty was no joke."
Compared to B, C, and D-rank Genjutsu, A-rank techniques demanded much more effort. Each one took significant energy to master.
Especially the sound-based A-rank Genjutsus, which he had only barely managed to grasp in a single night. He'd still need more practice to wield it effectively.
"…"
Kurenai stared at him, her expression darkening.
Looking at Kiyoshi's casual, somewhat smug expression, she felt a twitch of annoyance.
She knew he was gifted, but this was almost unfair.
An A-rank Genjutsu, mastered in one night. The Genjutsu talent she had once prided herself on felt like nothing in his presence. It was…a bit of a blow to her pride.
"Here, Kurenai-neechan. This is for you."
Noticing the slight defeat in her expression, Kiyoshi feigned innocence and handed her a scroll like it was a precious treasure.
"This is…"
Seeing the scroll he offered, Kurenai's eyes widened.
"It's a gift for you, neechan."
