Starting with the usurpation of Akatsuki, the ninja world was overthrown.

Chapter 207 Failure is always a part of life

Pipa Juzo's counterattack came so suddenly that it stunned everyone.

The key point is that this time, he wasn't there to joke around; he actually took down a hidden White Zetsu with a single move!

At that moment, Mei Terumi, the captain of the third squad of the Dark Division, clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"Where did these things come from? Has our village already been infiltrated like a sieve?"

She secretly glanced at her deputy, Qing, standing to the side.

However, Qing only slightly shook her head.

This means that before Juzo Biwa made his move, his Byakugan also failed to detect anything unusual.

This made Mei Terumi feel extremely disappointed.

This means that if they want to eliminate the traitors within the village, they may only be able to rely on the sudden return of Juzo Biwa in the short term.

But it's obvious to anyone with eyes that the now-returned Kirigakure ninja is no longer just a simple Kirigakure ninja.

Putting everything else aside, the person standing next to him right now is none other than the Akatsuki's number one henchman, who is famous throughout the entire ninja world!

Are we really going to let someone like that run for Mizukage? Mei Terumi felt a sense of resistance, yet she was helpless.

This sentiment naturally resonated with many of the high-ranking members of the Fog Shadow Sect present.

After a long pause, the frontline commander spoke up and gave instructions to his deputy.

"Go get Juzo a new headband."

This statement implies that the decision has been made to accept the return of Pipa Juzo.

The new forehead protector naturally no longer has that scratch in the middle.

It's not surprising that the frontline commander made such a decision: "The situation is bad right now. We can talk about the Mizukage election after we return to the village. Let's figure out how to withstand this wave of Konoha's offensive first."

"Juzo, welcome back. And this friend beside you—would you be willing to help us?"

Ordinary ninjas only need to fight hard on the battlefield, but commanders have many more things to consider.

Even though it was obvious at a glance that Kirigakure's motives for returning this time were impure, the dire situation forced the Kirigakure commander to suppress his suspicions for the time being.

We must first overcome the current difficulties, eliminate the white traitors, and then bring the landing troops back to the village as much as possible.

In response, Pain lowered his raised arm, nodded coolly, and said.

"Yes, it's our duty to deal with Konoha."

This made everyone in the Hidden Mist Village, including the commander, breathe a sigh of relief.

They were afraid that Pain might have other, more radical ideas at this time.

It seems that the Hidden Mist is truly unable to withstand any more setbacks.

Soon, news of Kirigakure's return and the temporary cooperation between Kirigakure and the distant Akatsuki organization spread within Kirigakure.

Before long, the news also reached the ears of Black Zetsu and A Fei, who were hiding in the shadows.

At that moment, the dejected Black Zetsu was once again enraged.

"Why? Why was a rogue ninja like Juzo Biwa so easily welcomed back?"

Ah Fei sighed from the side.

"What else could it be? Of course, it was done by stepping over our dead bodies."

That's not wrong. Kirigakure did indeed return by profiting from the blood of White Zetsu.

This fact undoubtedly dealt another heavy blow to Black Zetsu, who spoke weakly and exhausted.

"How much bad news is there? Tell me all at once."

Ah Fei was honest and reported everything in detail without holding back at all.

"The Three-Tailed Fox is lost, the plan has failed, a large number of our personnel have been exposed, and we are now facing an unprecedented large-scale purge."

The intelligent White Zetsu lost 80% of its strength in one fell swoop, and the foundation laid by Kirigakure over many years was basically wiped out this time.

"Regardless of who is elected as the next Mizukage, it's unlikely we'll be able to maintain control of that village."

Black Zetsu felt a tightness in his chest and continued to ask in a muffled voice.

"What about Obito? How is he doing?"

Ah Fei's tone remained carefree.

"What else could he do? He ran away~ He killed the two White Zetsu who went to meet him."

By this time, he probably realized that we were behind this, and he must hate us to the core.

Ah Fei's overly dismissive tone finally enraged Black Zetsu.

He rushed over and grabbed Ah Fei, saying in a wolfish voice.

"How can you still laugh? You idiot! If you laugh again, I'll shove you back into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path! I'll do it this time!"

Seeing that Black Zetsu was about to completely lose control, A Fei calmly said.

"Your mind is in turmoil. Calm down. Have you forgotten? We've been like this for most of the past thousand years."

Black Zetsu was said to be one.

Black Zetsu, who always prided himself on his courage, resourcefulness, and intelligence, never expected that he would lose his composure at the crucial moment. On the contrary, A Fei, who was usually unreliable, miraculously maintained a simple and clear mind.

"Failure has always been a part of our lives, but in recent years you've been tricking Madara Uchiha into helping you, so much so that you've forgotten this fact."

Black Zetsu's face darkened instantly. "What do you mean? Are you implying that I'm useless without Madara Uchiha?!"

"Oh, I didn't say that. I just advised you to try to accept your failures, just like when you can't poop, you have to learn to accept the fact that you are constipated."

Black Zetsu, who had just been doubting that Tobi had mutated, was immediately relieved after hearing the familiar philosophy about poop. Sure enough, it still tasted the same...

"So what do you suggest we do now? Obito has completely come to hate us. How can Madara's plan be carried out now?"

Ah Fei's tone remained light and cheerful.

"It's okay. Although we lost Obito, on the bright side, didn't we lose the Rinnegan before?"

How can you call this thinking positively?!

Black Zetsu couldn't help but want to curse.

But the next moment, Ah Fei's words caused his mood to take a sharp turn, and he actually began to think about it seriously.

Because Tobi said, "It doesn't matter if Obito hates us, because the Rinnegan isn't in our hands now."

But it was in Xiao's hands.

Even if he's unwilling to help us revive Madara, he still wants to revive Rin, right?

Only the Rinnegan has the ability to revive the dead, and eventually he will still have to confront the Akatsuki.

Moreover, we still have Lin's cells.

Lin's body has now completely turned into a tree. The cells we hid are the final medium for resurrection. He will come back to beg us sooner or later.

At this moment, Bai Zetsu and Afei were unaware that during the short period when Shiba Kiyokawa secretly took Rin away, the other party had also secretly drawn a small tube of blood from Rin's body.

They thought they held a unique advantage in the ninja world, but in reality, they did not!

At present, they are completely unaware of this fact.

Hearing Afei's words, the depressed and irritable Black Zetsu finally cheered up again.

To his shame, he has recently realized that his brain is not even as good as a White Zetsu who spends all his time studying how to poop!

"What about Kirigakure? What should we do about Kirigakure?"

Afei said, "We still have to put up a fight with Kirigakure, after all, not everyone hated the Blood Mist from before, right?"
