Chapter 197 It seems we've been tricked.
Black Zetsu had suspected that the person causing the trouble might be a Konoha ninja—because that person reminded Kakashi to protect Rin;
He also suspected it might be the Akatsuki organization—because the Akatsuki had ruined his plans several times.
But what I never expected was that the person who came was actually a Hidden Mist ninja!
To be precise: they were formerly Hidden Mist ninjas.
One of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and the wielder of the Executioner's Blade: Juzo Biwa.
"How could it be him?"
Black Zetsu was shocked.
He immediately called out to Bai Jue Afei to inquire about the situation.
However, all Abi knew was that Juzo Biwa had briefly returned to the village after the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were defeated, and then disappeared.
Afei knew nothing else besides that.
"Then why did he become friends with Uchiha Shisui? Did he betray Kirigakure? And how did he find out about Nohara Rin?"
Faced with Black Zetsu's series of questions, A-Fei had no way to answer and could only say...
"I don't know, but before Madara died, he manipulated the Mizukage to designate him as a rogue ninja."
This answer relieved Black Zetsu somewhat.
"That's good. Then let Kirigakure kill them all!"
Black Zetsu and his allies are now relying entirely on the legacy left to them by Madara Uchiha—the frontline commander of Kirigakure was selected by the Third Mizukage, and his close confidants are almost all White Zetsu in disguise.
Because the message had been sent back in advance, the Hidden Mist ninjas arrived very quickly this time!
The moment the Hidden Mist Anbu arrived, despite his inner trepidation, Black Zetsu still revealed a cruel smile.
You—you all must die!
The Hidden Fog Division is now brimming with talent!
In order to implement the Blood Mist policy, the Mizukage recruited almost all of the best talents into the Anbu!
The current captain of the first squad of the Dark Division and the head of the Kirigakure assassination squad is Suigetsu Fuguki.
The captain of the second squad of the Dark Division is Yagura Karatachi;
Mei Terumi is the captain of the third squad, and her deputy is Ao!
Black Zetsu believes this lineup is enough to deal with any threat!
However, to his utter surprise, the moment the Kirigakure Anbu arrived, Kirigakure Juzo turned the tide of his unfavorable situation with just one sentence!
"I have evidence that the Mizukage was murdered!"
After saying that, Juzo Biwa swung his greatsword without hesitation and slashed at Yagura Karatachi, the captain of the second squad of the Anbu!
Although the Anbu are required to wear masks when they go out, in the ninja world, masks often provide very little concealment.
For example, the size of Suigetsu Hozuki and the figure of Terumi Mei are obvious characteristics that cannot be hidden by masks.
Yagura Karatachi is the same; his brown hair, pink eyes, and noticeably shorter stature than his peers are all very obvious characteristics.
Pipa Juzo naturally spotted him at a glance!
"What?!"
Upon seeing this, the surrounding Hidden Mist ninja were clearly stunned.
The drawbacks of the Blood Mist policy became immediately apparent at this moment—there was a lack of trust between different squads. Under the shock of the explosive facts, only Yagura's direct subordinates were covering their captain and fighting against Juzo Biwa.
The other five teams immediately stopped, their expressions shifting and varying behind their masks.
Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi served as the rearguard, only blocking the other five Kirigakure ANBU squads and not directly participating in the battle against Biwa Juzo.
This made the others in the Hidden Mist Division even more undecided.
Finally, Mei Terumi stepped forward and coldly questioned, "Shisui, the master of the Body Flicker Technique, and a disciple of Minato, may I ask what brings you two here today?"
His tone appeared cold and stern, but in reality, the firm killing intent he had shown when he set out was gone.
Black Zetsu, who was spying from afar, became increasingly anxious.
"What are you asking? What's there to ask! Just kill them! Slaughter them all!"
On the contrary, White Zetsu Abi calmly pondered for a moment, then looked up with a slight realization at Black Zetsu on the tree branch above.
"Do you think we've been tricked?"
Hei Jue was still jumping up and down in a panic when he heard A Fei's words and suddenly froze.
"What did you say?!"
"I feel like we've been tricked. According to our original plan, we should have launched the Kirigakure raid to capture Nohara Rin a few days ago, but because of Shisui and Kakashi's meeting, we postponed the capture of Rin."
Also, because of what Shisui said a few days ago, we've deployed all the White Zetsu in the vicinity to monitor Shisui and Kakashi, and to be wary of that friend from afar.
But in reality, we didn't hear who that "friend from afar" was or what they wanted to do at all that day.
The more White Zetsu Abi spoke, the colder Black Zetsu felt down his back.
"What—what are you talking about?!"
"I mean, although our Mayfly Technique is invincible, no ninja can detect us, and no one can escape our surveillance."
But... lately, it seems like our attention has been being manipulated by an unseen hand.
Despite the terrifying nature of his words, Bai Jue Afei spoke in a bewildered and calm tone.
Just like when he's focused on the philosophy of defecation.
But his unreliable nature allows him to remain carefree even when he's drenched in shit, something Black Zetsu clearly cannot do.
He almost went crazy when he heard this!
Why would you think that?! Why didn't you say so sooner?!
Ah Fei shrugged innocently.
"Well, I only thought of that after seeing Kibi no Juzo appear. Kibi no Juzo used to be a Kirigakure ninja."
It was always relatively easy for him to persuade his former colleagues to stop.
You see, the fact is that he seemed to have anticipated that we would call in the Hidden Mist Anbu, and he handled the situation with ease.
Perhaps, the "distant friend" that Uchiha Shisui spoke of was just a pretext to distract us and delay our actions from the very beginning?
Black Zetsu broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what A-Fei said.
"You thought of that and you're still so calm?! Are you out of your mind? What are we supposed to do now? What exactly is the enemy's purpose in diverting our attention and delaying our operations?!"
Black Zetsu, out of control, roared and yelled at A Fei.
But as he kept yelling, he suddenly realized something.
An unknown enemy used Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi to draw their attention away from the Konoha camp.
What's in the Konoha camp?
"Nohara Rin?! Damn it! Go back now!! Rin absolutely cannot be hurt! Otherwise, it's all over!"
Black Zetsu let out a strange cry, then quickly closed the pitcher plant on its head and sank into the earth's veins.
White Zetsu Afei then shrugged and followed Black Zetsu into the ground.
Before leaving, he muttered to himself, "This plan feels as smooth as taking a dump."
He glanced one last time into the distance before sinking into the ground—
As expected, Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi somehow managed to temporarily stabilize the rest of the Kirigakure Anbu, leaving only Biwa Juzo and Karatachi Yagura fighting one-on-one.
Meanwhile, at the frontline hospital of Konoha camp, a hooded figure strolled leisurely through the crowd and appeared in front of Nohara Rin in the blink of an eye!
Under the hood was an unremarkable face.
Nohara Rin quickly spotted the person who had arrived.
"Who are you? I've never seen you before! This is a hospital; only the injured should be here!"
The newcomer chuckled lightly, quite alert.
The newcomer immediately felt a sensory ninjutsu chakra sweep across his body.
Lin is checking whether she has used the transformation technique.
As a disciple of Minato Namikaze, Rin's basic ninja skills are undoubtedly excellent.
Unfortunately, the sensory feedback did not wake Lin up; instead, it numbed her.
Because the feedback she received was that the person who came did not use a transformation spell.
In that brief moment of slight relaxation—
The hooded figure made a move and easily captured her!
"Orochimaru's disguise technique turned out to be quite useful."
The mysterious man chuckled to himself.
Then, carrying the person, they swaggered away from Konoha Hospital!
From the moment he entered the hospital until he left, apart from the unfortunate victim, Nohara Rin herself, no one else noticed anything unusual.
The psychological invisibility effect brought about by the pinnacle of illusionary skills, combined with the Orochi-style disguise technique that can deceive sensory ninjutsu, produces such a terrifying effect!
When Black Zetsu arrived hastily using the Mayfly Technique, he found everything as usual, with many people around, but Nohara Rin's Konoha Field Hospital was nowhere to be seen.
