Chapter 1346: Black Zetsu Trespasses on the Sea Star Mainland!
Ninja World, Loulan.
A grand city where spires stood tall.
Originally, its surroundings were a vast desert of ten thousand li of yellow sand, but now it had transformed into a vast forest and fertile land.
Coupled with the World Government designating it as the political center for governing the Ninja World, this place became increasingly prosperous and flourishing.
It turned out that Queen Sara, although young, managed quite well.
Standing about five kilometers outside Loulan City was a 'Grand Gate', three hundred meters high and two hundred meters wide, with a square frame where starlight intertwined. It stood towering in the center of a camp formed by large and small houses.
This was the 'Star Gate' connecting to the 'Ninja World'.
And it was a 'Star Gate' that Im had upgraded to 'medium-sized'!
Inside the camp, Ninjas wearing black vests were visible everywhere.
This was because this 'Star Gate Camp' was under the responsibility of the 'Sea Ninja Village', not the 'Konoha Ninja Sect' of the Ninja World homeland.
However, none of the Sea Ninjas inside this camp noticed that, beneath their feet, a black and white 'Ghost' was silently hiding underground at this moment.
"Haven't you made a decision yet?"
"No."
"But we've been here for two days and two nights, it's so boring..."
"When infiltrating another world, you can never be too cautious."
"Besides, I'm worried that once I touch this 'Star Gate', I'll be detected by the person controlling it."
The white and black parts of the single body were actually communicating with each other as if they were two different people.
"No way, there have been quite a few people entering and exiting these past few days, the other party can't possibly be staring at it constantly, right?"
"Mm."
Black Zetsu pondered White Zetsu's words.
The sudden appearance of the World Government had caused devastating destruction to his 'Thousand-Year Plan'.
For this, he had previously tried to win over Yomi, Hiruko, Shinno, Sasori, Kakuzu, the Jashin Cult, and the Chinoike Clan, attempting to block the World Government's conquest pace.
Who would have thought they couldn't even defeat the Ninja Alliance Army composed of the Major Ninja Villages?
Even later, by coincidence, it caused the Demon Army to flood into the Ninja World.
They were still resolved by the World Government Military who personally intervened.
The most infuriating thing was that they unexpectedly took away the Nine Great Tailed Beasts!
Without these Tailed Beasts, how can I cause the Ten-Tails to appear?
Without the Ten-Tails, how can Mother be unsealed, how can she descend?
Therefore, Black Zetsu had been active near Loulan and this 'Star Gate Camp' during this time.
He was good at Onmyōton.
Therefore, he could easily possess Ninjas to inquire about the intelligence they knew, and then use Genjutsu to make them completely unaware.
Thus, he learned quite a bit of information related to the World Government.
For example, the Nine Great Tailed Beasts were taken to the Sea Star.
Another example, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were also resurrected and became the 'Hokage' and 'Wood Shadow' of the Sea Ninja Village.
This made Black Zetsu realize that if he wanted to get the Tailed Beasts back, then he must find a way to infiltrate the Sea Star.
But having long been accustomed to acting cautiously, facing the always open and incredibly large 'Star Gate', he fell into tormenting hesitation.
This Ninja World, he was naturally extremely familiar with, even knowing many unknown history secrets.
But upon reaching another world, wouldn't he immediately be completely lost, and everything would have to start over from scratch?
Crucially, if he wants to awaken Mother, he still has to return to the Ninja World to implement it.
The difficulty of this, even he felt his scalp tingle...
What should I do?
Black Zetsu felt extremely painful in his heart, he really didn't know what to do.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, he felt a familiar aura approaching him at an extremely fast speed.
"Could it be that guy Hagoromo?"
Black Zetsu immediately became nervous.
In his opinion, the only ones in the current Ninja World who could have this kind of connection with him could only be Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura.
After all, the three of them were considered brothers.
But logically speaking, these two should not know of his existence.
But no matter what, Black Zetsu didn't want to meet with a wicked son who harmed Mother.
Run!
Must run!
At this moment, just as Black Zetsu was about to move, he thought again:
'The other party is clearly using means he doesn't know to track his position.'
Thinking of this, Black Zetsu's gaze again looked upwards at the 'Star Gate'.
"Since that's the case, then I'll take a gamble, and if I want to save Mother, the Tailed Beasts' chakra is necessary..."
"Hey, have you decided? That's great."
The other half, White Zetsu, had a joyful appearance, without the slightest bit of nervousness.
He was now full of curiosity towards the scenery of other worlds.
Speaking of which.
Ever since the World Government captured and took away the one hundred thousand White Zetsu within the borders of the Land of Iron.
The usable White Zetsu at Black Zetsu's disposal became stretched thin.
At the same time.
Black Zetsu didn't pay attention to White Zetsu. First, he used the Invisibility Technique, then quickly emerged upwards from the surface.
His Mayfly Technique not only allows him to become one with the earth, but also can sever all aura.
It can be said that Black Zetsu's Invisibility Technique is undetectable unless a Ninja from the Hyuga Clan happens to activate their Byakugan and see his position.
Otherwise, most sensory abilities cannot detect him.
Crucially, he himself also has large-scale sensory abilities.
He can completely monitor whether or not people are using 'Byakugan' to look over.
This caused Black Zetsu, from leaping out from underground to the process of being about to touch the 'Star Gate' surface.
The nearby Sea Ninjas responsible for guarding completely failed to notice him.
But!
Black Zetsu's hand, extended into the 'Star Gate', unexpectedly simultaneously lost its 'Invisibility' effect.
While he himself remained completely unaware.
Because this invisibility-breaking process didn't produce any commotion or feeling.
"Hmm?!"
Black Zetsu thought he had secretly passed through the 'Star Gate' very smoothly.
But who knew that a black-haired Ninja in front of him was unexpectedly staring straight at him.
An illusion?
A coincidence?
He shouldn't be looking at me, right? No, that's impossible...
"Who are you!"
An 'Elite Chunin' of Uchiha origin frowned and sternly questioned.
The Chunin around him, also belonging to the 'Flame Hidden Police Force', heard the sound and one after another turned their gazes.
Immediately.
Black Zetsu's strange appearance aroused everyone's vigilance.
Now, he finally understood, he was really exposed!
"Ah, well, it seems this 'Gate' will make us lose our invisibility effect..."
White Zetsu completely disregarded the scene's nervous atmosphere and complained.
"Shut up, we're in trouble!" Black Zetsu's tone became heavier.
"Answer me, who are you?"
Uchiha Ikuji produced a sharp kunai in his hand, staring with his crimson Sharingan, and slowly walked towards Black Zetsu, who was clearly not a normal human.
This place was precisely within a valley on Kibi, Wano Island, where the Sea Ninja Village of the Sea Star Mainland was located, and which had been built into a Star Gate camp.
At this point in time, it just happened to be the turn of Uchiha Ikuji's Chunin Squad to be responsible for guarding the 'Star Gate Entrance/Exit'.
Suddenly, Black Zetsu unexpectedly first launched an attack.
His legs had at some point turned into gray-green tree roots rooted into the ground.
The next moment.
Following the 'bang bang bang' sounds.
One by one, thick trees continuously erupted from the surrounding ground.
Rapidly stabbed towards Uchiha Ikuji and the other three Chunin.
"Enemy attack!"
Uchiha Ikuji's expression changed greatly. Already vigilant, he immediately reacted and dodged.
However, even with the boost of his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he still couldn't dodge the trees' restraint!
"What!"
"How could it be so fast!"
"Damn it!"
In the blink of an eye, the four people were miserably bound. No matter how they exerted force, they still couldn't break free.
But this wasn't their fault.
Black Zetsu's Wood Release was so fast that even a clone of Uzumaki Naruto in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, whose speed was comparable to the 'Fourth Raikage', couldn't dodge it.
But as soon as he made a move, it immediately alarmed the entire camp!
