Chapter 226 Cultivating White Zetsu

Not to mention the harvest of the four villages, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others on the other side were taken back to the camp by the flying ninja beasts. What they saw was a mess. The entire camp was destroyed. There was not a single person, not even the corpses. Less than.

This scene made several people's expressions change slightly, and Mitarai Zixiao, who had the ability to sense, made sure that there was no one around the camp and then landed to check and search.

"There are no bodies left, not even blood stains. It doesn't look like it was done by Shimura."

Several people searched and found nothing, which was very wrong.

Even if the Allied Forces of the Four Villages sent people to attack and kill him, they would not be able to do it so cleanly without leaving any traces of blood. It would be more like destroying the corpses and eradicating traces.

"who?"

Mitarai Zixiao, who had been resting and alert outside the camp, suddenly looked towards the woods ahead and heard some movement.

"Master Mitarashi Shixiao, it's us."

Three figures ran out of the woods, they were Nara Shikaku and his three companions.

"Did you go to the battlefield with us?"

After confirming the identities of the three people, Mitarai Zixiao had some guesses.

"We were just observing from a distance, not getting close."

Nara Shikaku replied, his eyes falling towards the camp.

Previously, he wanted to get more information about the four-village coalition, so he persuaded two teammates to follow them. They observed from a distance and were shocked by the brutality of the battle.

But what's going on in this camp?

There were hundreds of injured people guarding the camp. How could the camp be like this?

Could it be that the four-village coalition still had enough manpower to arrange a surprise attack?

"What happened to the camp?"

Akimichi Choza looked at the camp in ruins in shock. It was fine when he came out. Why did it change like this after he came back?

"It's a good thing you followed us to the battlefield, otherwise we would have died if we stayed in the camp."

Sighing, Mitarai Zixiao couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

This defeat is just the beginning. The next war will become more and more cruel. A bad Konoha and even the Fire Nation may be destroyed, and people like them will naturally not escape the end of death in battle.

It doesn't matter to me yet, but Hongdou is still young and still has a bright future.

"The four-village coalition has gone too far!"

Yamanaka Hai looked at the ruined camp, his eyes were red and he was very angry.

"It may not have been done by the four-village coalition."

Mitarai Zixiao shook his head slightly, and he also saw something was wrong.

"Not necessarily?"

Akimichi Dingzao and Shanzhong Hai were stunned and didn't understand what this meant.

"Ding Zuo, Haiyi, you stay here to assist Lord Zixiao in guarding the outside. I'll go in and take a look."

Nara Shikaku seemed to understand something. He stopped his teammates who wanted to ask further questions and asked the two of them to stay and take care of Mitarai Shixiao while he walked into the camp.

"Listen more to that boy Shikaku from now on. Don't ask or talk too much about certain things. It won't do any harm to you and your family."

Mitarashi Zixiao said something, and then continued to alert the surroundings.

Yamanaka Haiichi and Akimichi Choza nodded in understanding and took note of it, and then followed to guard the surroundings.

Nara Shikaku, who entered the camp for observation, quickly met up with Namikaze Minato. To be precise, Namikaze Minato came to him on his own initiative.

"Shikaku, it's great that you're okay!"

Namikaze Minato was so happy that he finally saw a living person in the camp that he wanted to cry. This battle put too much pressure on him. Many familiar people died and they couldn't even collect the bodies.

"Heidinza and I followed them to the battlefield to observe from a distance, but unexpectedly we escaped."

Nara Shikaku looked at everything around him, feeling horrified and thankful in his heart.

“Can you guess who did this?

Namikaze Minato asked angrily, hating the murderer who destroyed the camp.

You must know that those who can be left behind are all wounded, and some are even in a coma, but now they are all gone.

This approach has seriously exceeded the bottom line.

"There are three possibilities: either it was done by some people in the village, or it was done by the coalition forces of the four villages. They wanted to use this to make us suspicious of the inside and cause chaos, or there is a third party."

After a moment of silence, Nara Shikaku mentioned three possibilities. He couldn't make a judgment on the specific ones. The other party did it too cruelly and left nothing behind.

But none of that mattered, because they had new troubles.

Although the allied forces of the four villages suffered a tragic victory in this battle, they were victorious in the end. The villages were no longer able to recapture the peninsula.

Previously, Cloud Hidden Village and the Kingdom of Thunder's capture of the north was only the beginning. Now that Kirigakure Village successfully occupied the southern peninsula, the nature of this ninja war will completely change.

This is no longer just a war in the ninja world, but also a war between countries, which will be even more cruel and tragic.

"Minato, grow up as soon as possible, the future of the village needs you."

After whispering something, Nara Shikaku turned and left. He needed to think about more things.

He was very optimistic about Namikaze Minato, and his father was also very optimistic about him. It could be said that he had unlimited potential and was expected to become a super strong person like the first Hokage.

Only Minato can end the chaos in the village, otherwise the whole of Konoha will be ruined by those people.

Hiruzen Sarutobi on the other side ordered to return to the village with the help of flying ninja beasts after confirming that there were no survivors and no clues in the camp.

There is no longer any value or foundation to stay here, and all of them are injured and in very bad condition. Even if Tsunade's medical ninjutsu is the best, it is not omnipotent. They need to return to the village as soon as possible for further treatment.

After returning to the village, Tsunade used the equipment of the village hospital to conduct detailed examinations on several people except Sarutobi Hiruzen, and further treated the injuries.

Orochimaru also came to help, mainly to study Jiraiya's body.

Although I knew before that I could obtain the blood inheritance limit with the help of transplanted limbs, it was only theoretical. Jiraiya was also the first successful case, which was of great research value.

Tsunade ignored this and used medical ninjutsu to deeply repair Jiraiya's injuries before turning around and leaving.

"Tsunade!"

Jiraiya opened his mouth to say something, but Tsunade ignored it and walked out of the ward.

She doesn't want to talk to anyone now, and she even came here to participate in the war for the sake of the village.

"Stop yelling, she won't pay attention to you idiot, unless the teacher dies."

Orochimaru, who was shaving his legs, squinted disdainfully. In his opinion, he was just a fool, and a greedy fool.

If you don’t want to give up anything, you will end up losing everything.

"Orochimaru, you have changed too."

Jiraiya stared at him and could feel the change in his teammate, which was very big.

This made him very worried, as he felt as if his best friend was getting further and further away from him.

As for what happened between Tsunade and his teacher, he couldn't say anything. One was the person he liked, and the other was the mentor who taught him his skills. How could he choose?

"Some changes have taken place. Only you idiot has not changed, which makes me quite envious sometimes."

Orochimaru admires this very much. Both he and Tsunade are constantly changing, but this idiot is still the same as before.

However, I only feel envious sometimes, and he will continue to pursue his own truth and will not stop.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? You don't want to cut off my legs and slice them for study, do you?"

Suddenly he saw Orochimaru taking out a shining scalpel, and Jiraiya was so shocked that he almost jumped out of the hospital bed.

What does this bastard want to do?

"Don't move, I'm just taking some cells from different parts for comparative study."

Orochimaru looked calm, he took this material very seriously.

"Just take some cells?"

Seeing that he was not going to chop off his legs, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.

"It includes skin cells, muscle cells, nerve cells, periosteum cells, bone marrow cells, and some bones. It will hurt a little at most, but it won't be a problem."

While cutting off a small piece of skin cells, Orochimaru talked about the cells to be extracted.

"You want bones and marrow?"

Jiraiya's face turned green, you might as well chop off my legs.

"It's just a little painful, just bear with it and it will pass."

After further extracting a small piece of muscle cells, Orochimaru took out a latest electric drill with a slender drill bit 20 centimeters long, which was specially used to drill bones.

"Wait, why don't you give me some anesthetic?"

Seeing that Orochimaru was about to drill, Jiraiya was even more frightened.

"The anesthetic affects those cells, which in turn affects what I'm observing."

Orochimaru's expression remained calm. In his eyes at this moment, Jiraiya was just a piece of material, no different from the corpses he had dissected before.

"We are friends who grew up together. How could you be so cruel and cold-hearted to me?"

Jiraiya quit, do you still have any humanity left?

"You talk too much nonsense."

Orochimaru became a little impatient, and several long snakes sprang out from his sleeves, entangled and tied Jiraiya's body, and then forcibly drilled holes to extract the marrow and bones.

"ah!"

The screams of slaughtering pigs suddenly sounded in the hospital, making everyone shiver.

Orochimaru, who had obtained the cell sample, walked out of the room with satisfaction, leaving Jiraiya who looked like he had been spoiled.

Without delay, while those cells were still warm...no, still very active, I went to the hospital's medical laboratory to observe and study with the help of the equipment inside.

"You also transplanted my grandfather's cells?"

Tsunade didn't know when she appeared next to her and asked coldly.

"So to speak."

Orochimaru did not deny that he could deceive others, but he could never deceive Tsunade.

"The bodies of my eldest grandfather, second grandfather, and grandma were stolen. Was it Danzo Shimura's doing?"

His expression turned even colder. The clan had long discovered that the bodies of the three elders had been stolen, and they had been secretly investigating, but nothing had been gained. It was not possible to determine who had done it.

But there are only so many people who are capable and motivated, and Danzo Shimura is the most suspect.

Orochimaru has been following Shimura Danzo in the past few years, so he may know something about it.

"I don't know. Danzo Shimura has an independent experimental project and prevents anyone from getting close to it. I have tried several times but never entered.

However, I tried to reincarnate him into the first generation, but failed. I suspect that someone has already reincarnated him into a dirty world and sealed it away. You will definitely be able to meet again in the future. "

Orochimaru revealed a piece of information. Although he was no longer interested in reincarnation, he wanted to study the First Hokage, but unfortunately he could not come out.

As for Shimura Danzo's experimental project, the defenses were very tight, and he was also defending himself, so there was no way to sneak in.

Tsunade didn't say anything more, turned around and left with a frosty expression.

She didn't care much about Orochimaru's research on the cells of the great grandfather, after all, the cells he could get were the parts that the second grandfather had studied and sealed.

What annoyed her was that someone had desecrated the bodies of the great grandfather and his people, and even stole the entire body, and now disturbed the souls of the great grandfather and his people.

It's so abominable!

"Teacher, could it be you?"

Watching his friend leave, Orochimaru thought of that teacher.

Shimura Danzo didn't seem to be very interested in the Impure World Reincarnation, but the teacher kept staring at him and urged him several times, which made him more suspicious.

On the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also receiving examinations and treatment in the hospital, but he split a shadow clone and came to the basement with layers of barriers under his house.

He raised his hand to make a seal and slapped the ground with the last palm, and a coffin rose up. Inside was Uzumaki Ashina, who controlled the sneak attack on Yukari last time and unsealed and sealed the Four-Tails.

At that time, he was not only targeting the Four-Tails, but also the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, so he controlled Uzumaki Ashina to take some blood with the ninja sword.

Extract the carrier that had been prepared long ago from another place, use blood as the medium to perform the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, and finally reincarnate Zi.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

Opening his eyes, Zi roared in anger when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen on the opposite side. It was indeed this damn old thing that plotted against him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's shadow clone ignored Zi's anger, borrowed a stream of Mangekyō pupil power shared by the original body before to forcibly control Zi's body, and gradually condensed a small ball of scarlet chakra.

Looking at the small ball of scarlet chakra, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt better in his heart.

Although the Four-Tails was unsealed and released before, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki had been running-in with the power of the Four-Tails for so long, and there would be some residue in his body.

According to the research data left by the second generation teacher, the Four-Tails has a high-intensity Lava Release, and perhaps he can use this chakra to obtain Lava Release.

Of course, he who is fusing the Dust Release doesn't like it, but he can keep it for his son Shinnosuke.

He already had a plan to rescue Shinnosuke, and even had a detailed understanding of his situation. In this regard, Impure World Reincarnation was really useful, and even the dead could not keep it secret.

After sealing the small ball of Four-Tails Chakra, Sarutobi Hiruzen also sealed up Shirayuki in a coffin.

Although Shirayuki lost the Four-Tails, she was also a Kage-level strongman. With the infinite chakra of Impure World Reincarnation, her explosive strength would not be bad.

"The black Susanoo who suddenly captured the Three-Tails was probably Danzo, so who took the Four-Tails?"

Thinking about the mysterious person who took the Four-Tails, he didn't even see the other person's figure, but only knew that the other person could use Wood Release.

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't be sure, so Sarutobi Hiruzen could only do the right thing.

Since the first plan failed, he could only start the second plan and let the daimyo ascend to heaven as soon as possible, otherwise once the daimyo's order was issued, he would be in trouble.

Let alone the busyness of Sarutobi Hiruzen, White Zetsu Afei on the other side happily returned to the base with the clay pot ninja tool that sealed the Four-Tails, woke up the sleeping Uchiha Madara, and asked for credit like a 200-pound child.

"Four-Tails!"

Uchiha Madara was very surprised when he saw the clay pot in front of him. He didn't expect that such a mentally retarded thing could snatch the Four-Tails.

Although there was a trick, the Four-Tails was indeed brought back.

"Afei, you did a good job!"

Uchiha Madara was generous with his praise. This unsuccessful experiment brought him a surprise.

"Madara, can you tell me what it feels like to defecate now?"

Afei asked excitedly. They were all very curious about this.

This was the difference between them and normal humans.

"No!"

Uchiha Madara refused to answer such a childish and brain-dead question with a black face.

Ignoring the disappointed Afei and the other White Zetsu around him, he stood up, grabbed the clay pot and threw it directly into the mouth of the Outer Path Demon Statue.

Although he lost his Samsara Eye, he still retained a portion of his pupil power in his body, and he could still control the Outer Path Demon Statue.

The Outer Path Demon Statue's suppression of the tailed beasts was absolute. The Four-tailed in the sealed ninja tool didn't even understand what was going on, and his own chakra was being madly extracted. No matter how he struggled, it was useless.

Not long after, the Four-tailed's chakra was completely devoured by the Outer Path Demon Statue. The Outer Path Demon Statue itself became more active, and more chakra was supplied to Uchiha Madara, which improved his physical condition.

"Although the order is wrong, it has recovered a little."

Feeling the changes in the Outer Path Demon Statue, Uchiha Madara was very satisfied.

The Outer Path Demon Statue is very strong, but it is difficult to activate without chakra. If you really want to force it, you have to consume your own chakra. Even Uchiha Madara has no confidence in driving it.

Now, with the chakra supplement of the Four-tailed, it has the initial ability to move, at least with the combat power of the tailed beast level.

"Haven't you found the two mysterious people who fought in the Valley of the End?"

After feeling the power of the Outer Path Demon Statue, Uchiha Madara asked another question.

"No, the Ninja World is too big, and it's hard for us to find them if they hide on purpose. My spore clone is too weak."

White Zetsu said with difficulty, saying that it was too difficult and there was really no way to find them.

Uchiha Madara fell into deep thought. He knew that White Zetsu was right. It was too difficult to find two people who were hiding on purpose in such a big Ninja World, and they were two strong men at the level of Hashirama.

He needed more eyes and ears, that is, White Zetsu.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at the heretic demons that had recovered a little. Maybe he could use the heretic demons to further cultivate Bai Jue. The more the better.

The current Bai Jue was cultivated by him with the help of the vitality of the Heretic Golem, but the previous power of the Heretic Golem was too little and he could not cultivate too much.

But now with the injection of the Four Tails, the power that can be used is much more. Coupled with its own resilience, it is enough to cultivate a large number of White Zetsu.

"Wood Release·Sacred Tree!"

As soon as he thought of it, Uchiha Madara clasped his hands together and used the outer demon statue as the base to perform Wood Release. The thick roots quickly grew and spread.

Bai Jue cooperated with the spore technique, and the splitting technique stretched out one hundred thousand spores to parasitize on the roots of the trees, forming cocoons for gestation.

The spore is just a weakened Zetsu. Even if it absorbs enough chakra to grow, it will be difficult to have much combat power, especially wisdom. After all, that kind of product has no soul.

However, these spores are just a cover. The real targets of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu are the ancient White Zetsu among the heretic demons.

"Don't take any more risks, now you need to hibernate."

Uchiha Madara, who was consuming a lot, warned him, and then continued to sleep.

His current physical condition is too bad. The battle with Hashirama back then caused his body to be severely overdrawn. Since then, he has been fighting against the living Hashirama cells, which has further overdrawn his body.

Coupled with his age, even with the power of the heretic demon to maintain it, it is still difficult to explode too much power.

If you want to truly return to your peak, you must use a mature samsara eye and a mature carrier.

The reversal of life and death is an act of defiance, and is not easy to accomplish, especially when resurrecting an existence of your own level, and you have to be resurrected to your peak state.

It is estimated that even in Hashirama's peak period, if he had his own reincarnation eye transplanted and used the reincarnation technique, he would have to trade one life for another.
