Chapter 22: Black zetsu: is he Homuras child or Hagoromo's child?
Oohhhowling~
Looking at the regrouped wolves, there was also the alpha wolf with his head lowered and his tail wagging.
Menma couldn't help but laugh.
To some extent, beasts are more sensitive than humans.
Long before their fight, this group of jackals had already been hiding in a cave.
It wasn't until the battle was over that they had the courage to run out.
"Go and have a good meal."
Menma said a word and then walked towards Konoha.
A group of jackals lowered their heads and made way for him.
After Menma walked out of the pack and left the woods, the alpha wolf raised his head.
"Ooouhh!"
The alpha wolf let out a howl, and the other jackals no longer restrained themselves and rushed towards the "food" they had coveted for a long time.
Stepping in a pool of blood, tearing at the corpses of those ninjas with claws and fangs.
One of the jackals broke away from the team and followed the smell deeper into the woods. He stopped when he saw a corpse.
The jackal was about to bite.
A pitcher plant-like thing suddenly appeared from the tree and swallowed it in one bite.
"Awwww..."
Accompanied by a scream that quickly disappeared, there was a burst of chewing sounds.
Crunch~crunch~
Gudong!
"It's so scary. Fortunately, I didn't jump out in a hurry just now. I just watched from a distance."
After the pitcher plant swallowed the jackal, it actually spoke human words, and its tone was full of human fear.
At the same time, a strange yin-yang face that is half black and half white is revealed.
White Zetsu, and Black Zetsu that was possessing White Zetsu's body.
"Is this Hagoromo's bloodline or Hamura's bloodline?"
Looking at Menma's retreating figure, half of Zetsu's face was full of seriousness.
the other half was smiling.
Even if he used the Mayfly Technique to hide in the trees from a distance, he could still estimate the terrifying power of the blow just now.
The ultra-high-quality chakra ball formed by compression and condensation obviously has such violent energy fluctuations, but it is more stable than a tailed beast ball, and is more powerful than the tailed beast ball of even the eight-tailed jinchuriki.
Even this white zetsu main body with extremely strong vitality will be instantly annihilated if it approaches rashly.
And the summoning technique that it has never been seen before...
"When did such a strong person appear in the ninja world?"
black zetsu thought about it but couldn't find a character that could correspond to it.
Apart from that special summoning skill, there were no signs visible on the guy.
"This matter needs to be reported to Madara as soon as possible."
After the words fell, zetsu once again integrated himself with the earth and vegetation.
it can travel freely along the underground network of plant roots and underground water flows.
The Mayfly Jutsu technique allows you to move to any place in still objects at high speed and cut off all breath while the ninjutsu is activated.
It was by virtue of this powerful technique that he became an official member of the Akatsuki organization.... well, he basically started the organization, but you need to be useful to be in the Akatsuki freely.
after a while.
"What just happened here..."
Hundreds of Kumo ninja appeared on the battlefield, trembling as they looked at the scene in front of them, dumbfounded and at a loss for words.
The battle is over, and there is only an environment that has changed beyond recognition, silently telling the unspeakable tragedy.
At this time, a Kumogakure Jōnin stood up and shouted loudly: "What are you still doing? Hurry up and find Master Ai and the others!"
The others reacted and immediately scattered, searching for useful information and survivors in the mess.
But all they found after turning over and over were mutilated corpses.
And without exception, they were all corpses of Kumogakure ninjas.
everywhere was blood and guts, some bodies were melted.
"Didn't find Master Ai and Master Bi?!" Kumogakure Jōnin was also a little panicked.
Could it be that Master Ai and the others...
But just when he was panicking.
"here..."
A feeble call came, and all the cloud ninjas immediately ran to follow the sound.
The Fourth Raikage was seen leaning against a tree, while Killer B had fallen next to him, completely unconscious.
"Master Ai! Master Ai, hold on, we will take you back to the camp for treatment now."
Kumogakure Jōnin helped the Fourth Raikage up, but he only heard him weakly say: "Withdraw the troops..."
"What..."
Kumogakure Jōnin wanted to ask more questions, but the Fourth Raikage had completely passed out.
......
At this time, dozens of jounin gathered in Konoha's conference room.
Sitting at the top of the list are Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu, hamura, and...
The root leader, Shimura Danzo.
"We received news two hours ago that hundreds of ninjas stationed in Moon Valley were killed by the Kumogakure Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki."
Danzo was the first to speak, breaking the calm in the conference room. The jounin were stunned for a moment, and then all showed strange expressions.
"How dare kumo do this?!"
The jounin of the Inuzuka clan, who had a strong temper, showed anger and almost burst into flames.
Hyuga Hinashi's eyes flickered and his expression was complicated. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad for a moment.
On the side, Nara Shikaku frowned and stared at Danzo.
But Danzo spoke again: "Regarding the voting results of the last meeting, I suggest that the voting results be invalidated, a new vote be held, and again choose whether to go to war with Kumogakure."
When he made this suggestion, the originally noisy conference room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was in the head seat.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling speechless in his heart.
What else could he do but agree?
It is clear that the Hyuga clan has already reached an agreement. As long as Hyuga Hizashi is handed over as a scapegoat, the outflow of his white eyes can be avoided, and the war can be avoided.
But now...
Sarutobi glanced at Danzo intentionally or unintentionally and sighed secretly in his heart.
No wonder he didn't go to Hyuga, Danzo, is this your countermeasure?
However, if it is really you who did it, then this time it is really too much.
Hundreds of Konoha ninjas, even middle and lower ninjas, are absolutely unacceptable to him.
Although there is no actual evidence, Danzo's shadow is most likely behind this matter.
The result of the final vote of the jonin was not unexpected to Sarutobi.
"Very good."
Danzo's face, which was as stiff as a dead man, also showed a smile at this moment: "Then continue to send 2,000 ninjas to the front line of Moon Valley, and continue to expand the public opinion storm, and completely suppress Kumogakure from both military strength and public opinion..."
Just when Danzo stood up and wanted to leave in high spirits.
Bang!
An Anbu suddenly pushed the door open, came to Sarutobi and handed him a scroll.
"Hokage-sama, there's the information from the front."
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that Kumogakure had sent troops again and frowned as he opened the scroll.
There was not much on the scroll, only four words.
But these four words surprised Sarutobi.
"Kumogakure withdraw!"
The other jonin were also stunned when they heard this.
"How is it possible?!"
Danzo grabbed the scroll in disbelief and looked at it carefully.
But no matter how you look at it, it's just four words.
Kumogakure withdraw!
Crunch~
Danzo clenched the scroll in his hand, and his expression gradually became distorted.
"That masked bastard! How dare you play tricks on me?!"
