Chapter 1349: Shocked Uchiha Fugaku and Black Zetsu!
At this moment, within Kibi. Black Zetsu was currently moving stealthily at high speed underground.
He had already left the Mountain Area where the Sea Ninja Village and the Stargate Camp were located.
Due to knowing nothing about the environment of Wano Island and being followed by a large number of Police Ninja led by Uchiha Fugaku, he could only continue moving forward.
It wasn't that Black Zetsu couldn't think of changing direction; rather, before that, he had to first run out of the Byakugan's perception range, which was a distance of one kilometer. Otherwise, it would be useless no matter which direction he ran.
So the best method was to first charge forward blindly, shaking off the Hyuga Ninja behind him by a large distance. Then, he would change direction to escape the pursuit and hide, systematically collecting intelligence about this place.
Fortunately, Black Zetsu's perception range was very large. So large he could fully observe the distance between the two sides and see if it exceeded one kilometer.
Actually, he could have moved stealthily deeper underground and then changed his direction of movement.
However, over the past thousand years, Black Zetsu had always been active within ten meters underground, at most dozens of meters, and had never reached depths below a hundred meters.
Because there was no need to. What would he do hundreds of meters, or even several kilometers, underground?
This caused him to fall into a state of thought inertia. He only thought of running forward and then changing direction, but didn't think he could also go downwards first, then change direction, and finally ascend to the surface.
However, this wasn't a big deal. After all, with the speed of the Mayfly Technique, ninja found it difficult to keep up using the Body Flicker Technique.
However...
Just as Black Zetsu, who was underground, was about to shake off the Hyuga Ninja running at the front by one kilometer, directly above the ground overhead, the figure of Uchiha Fugaku strangely appeared out of thin air.
"You can't escape!"
Uchiha Fugaku was wearing a red and white Divine Robe with fire patterns printed on the hem. His eyes had already turned into the malevolent Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Susanoo!"
The next moment, a fiery red chakra aura, like flame, appeared around his body. In the blink of an eye, it formed an energy giant completely covered in Tengu Armor.
This was the Fourth Form of Susanoo.
"Yasaka Magatama!"
Following Uchiha Fugaku's roar, the Susanoo around him immediately raised its hands. It created three red magatama connected end-to-end in front of its body and hurled them downwards with force.
"What!"
Black Zetsu underground immediately let out an unbelievable exclamation. He didn't understand how Uchiha Fugaku had caught up, or why he had instantly appeared in the air? Even the Flying Thunder God Technique requires a Chakra Mark!
【Rumble——————】
The massive scarlet Magatama struck the surface like a falling meteorite. It triggered a huge explosion comparable to an aerial bomb.
The irresistible energy, accompanied by a deafening rumble, destroyed everything within the range. Large areas of rock layer instantly crumbled and disintegrated. The terrifying shockwave kicked up towering smoke and dust from the ground.
Black Zetsu, affected by the aftermath, could only use Wood Release to create layers of trees around him, forming a thick protective shield to resist the rampant energy of the Yasaka Magatama.
But during this process, Uchiha Fugaku once again displayed his strange teleportation ability, appearing out of thin air in front of the wooden shield Black Zetsu had created. The explosion he had personally created around him was completely unable to shake the Susanoo on his body.
"It's like this again!"
"Is this Space-Time Ninjutsu? No, perhaps it's his Mangekyo Dojutsu!"
Black Zetsu inside the wooden shield, although unable to see with his physical eyes, could still sense Uchiha Fugaku's aura and the vast chakra of the Susanoo. He began to feel intense unease.
Although the speed of the Mayfly Technique was fast underground or in water, how could it be faster than space-time ability?
So, since he couldn't escape, the only method was to defeat the opponent.
But he was clear about his own strength. If he were facing a regular ninja, even a Jonin, he could handle it with ease. But the opponent before him now was Uchiha Fugaku! An Uchiha Clan Head who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan!
【Bang————】
However, Uchiha Fugaku wouldn't give him much time for thought. He directly controlled the Susanoo to slash and blast apart the thick wooden shield.
Black Zetsu took advantage of the aftermath of the Yasaka Magatama dissipating, attempting to once again escape by burrowing into the shattered underground. But Uchiha Fugaku threw two more Yasaka Magatama to stop his movement.
Helpless, Black Zetsu could only use Wood Release again, frantically growing thick trees to shield himself from the terrifying explosion energy.
Although he was considered immortal, his body wasn't particularly strong. Against powerful attacks, his limbs and body could still be severed.
【Swish!】
But what Black Zetsu didn't expect was that Uchiha Fugaku strangely appeared behind him.
"Not good!"
Black Zetsu exclaimed in his heart, but he was already too late to react. A scorching hot pain immediately came from his back.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Heaven Prison!"
Uchiha Fugaku heavily slapped Black Zetsu's back with his right palm, which was emitting a high temperature aura, while speaking in a chilling voice.
"Ahhhhhh!"
At this moment, Black Zetsu, who had been enduring the pain and preparing to escape, suddenly let out a shrill scream. Because he attempted to mobilize chakra, the Curse Mark that had been injected into his body activated, transforming into flame chains that sealed his body, causing blazing flames to erupt all over him.
The other half, White Zetsu, couldn't even last a few seconds. He turned into black charcoal under the scorching of the flames and peeled away from Black Zetsu's body.
The intense suffering made Black Zetsu unable to move. He was immortal, but his sense of touch was normal, and his will wasn't firm enough to suppress the scorching pain.
Uchiha Fugaku grabbed his nape and used Moonwalk to fly out of the collapsing area.
As for Uzume. Since the combat was over, there was no need to consume Dojutsu Power. Although the feeling of everything around becoming stagnant after accelerating one's own time was indeed wonderful...
"The Great Fire Heaven Prison Ninjutsu will activate the moment you try to gather or mobilize chakra. If you don't want to suffer anymore, just be obedient."
Uchiha Fugaku threw Black Zetsu onto the flat ground and warned coldly.
Black Zetsu, who was sprawled on the ground, finally recovered somewhat. Hearing his words, he no longer dared to move recklessly.
"Speak, who are you, and why did you trespass into the Star Gate?"
"I..."
Black Zetsu felt bitter in his heart. At the same time, he began to quickly think about how he should answer so as not to be abused, or even to seize the opportunity to use the other party. As for the truth, that certainly couldn't be told.
But just then, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in the area.
"Fire Minister Fugaku, thank you for the trouble of capturing him. However, please hand this person over to This Old Man."
"Who!"
Uchiha Fugaku was startled in his heart, thinking, "He was able to approach me without a sound?"
This caused him to immediately condense Susanoo. At the same time, he raised his Mangekyo Sharingan and glared fiercely in the direction the voice came from.
The next second, Uchiha Fugaku saw Otsutsuki Hagoromo sitting cross-legged in the air, and Little Kaguya standing on his shoulder.
Especially Otsutsuki Hagoromo's pair of purple Rinnegan eyes. They greatly moved him.
Madara Uchiha had proven many times how strong the Rinnegan was.
"No need for that. This Old Man is the Sage of Six Paths of the Star God Hall. Look."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo took out his Star God Waist Token and showed it to Uchiha Fugaku.
"Sage of Six Paths!!!"
Uchiha Fugaku was stunned on the spot. As a person from the Ninja World, how could he not know this name? As for the Star God Waist Token, he could recognize it.
It was said to belong to some powerful existence comparable to Garp the Martial God, the World Government's top-tier combatant. So, the Sage of Six Paths from the myth had also joined the World Government?
"Mother!!!"
Meanwhile, the disheveled Black Zetsu was also dumbfounded, his eyes fixed on Little Kaguya, who wore a smile. What, what, what exactly is going on...
