Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 46 Black Zetsu: Is he an "outsider"? (Seeking monthly votes)

"This kind of power... how is that possible?"

The more Samui imagined the horror of that scene, the paler his face became.

It's no wonder that Atsi and his companions mistook this place; the area was simply too vast, with nothing but barren flatness as far as the eye could see.

However, if viewed from a bird's-eye view, the entire area resembles the inside of a meat grinder, with the ground stained a shocking dark red, as if "livestock" had recently been slaughtered into rotten flesh.

Everything within a radius of several kilometers was wiped out.

An area with a radius of several kilometers has been turned into a barren wasteland.

Even the surface of the earth was plowed into depressions several meters deep.

How could such power possibly be possessed by humans?

How could humans possibly do such a thing?

Samui couldn't imagine how it could be done.

She had seen many more cruel and bloody things before.

But she had never seen any scene like this, with the lingering horror and bloodshed hanging in the air.

It was as if one could smell the blood gushing from bodies torn apart by the hurricane, and hear the cries of agony and fear of the Cloud Village ninjas before their deaths.

This terrifying power, capable of altering the terrain, is something no human could possibly possess.

Even the Dust Release of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, did not have such a terrifying attack range.

How could someone with such terrifying strength have been unknown before?
Samui looked into the deep, dark void in the distance, and a bold guess gradually emerged in his mind.

Unless, that guy just suddenly appeared.

"Sister, what do we do?"

Atsui, standing beside him, asked in a helpless tone, while the other two Chunin were also at a loss.

The three of them had found many headbands from Kumogakure, and even one or two headbands from Konoha.

However, there were no corpses, not even corpses, neither those of Cloud Village ninjas nor those of Konoha ninjas.

Only the strong, pungent stench lingered in the air, unable to be dissipated, and the soil beneath their feet was a deep, blood-red stain.

Even if the three of them were incredibly stupid, they would know where the corpses had gone in this situation.

"..."

Gazing at the bottomless void in the distance, Samui remained silent for a moment before withdrawing his gaze, exhaling calmly and saying, "Don't do anything unnecessary. Go back and report to Lord Raikage."

Although her intuition told her that the truth was right there, she calmed down and made the most rational decision.

If such a terrifying "monster" were still there, it would be far beyond what the four of them could possibly provoke.

The four figures disappeared into the night, and after they left, no creatures approached the area.

It's like a traveler walking in a jungle, seeing the carcass of prey torn apart by a wild beast, seeing the corpse in front of him that has been completely devoured.

Even though the predators have long since eaten their fill and left, travelers are still intimidated by the lingering ferocity in the air, enough to deter even the most greedy wild dogs and jackals.

Until everything around fell silent, a pitcher plant-like thing emerged halfway out of the blood-red soil.

The giant pitcher plant slowly opened, revealing a face that was half black and half white.

White Zetsu, and Black Zetsu possessing White Zetsu's body.

"What terrifying humans," White Zetsu remarked. "Luckily, I pulled you back in time before you jumped out, or you would have become fertilizer too." Black Zetsu remained silent, gazing at the scene before him.

The appearance of that guy was, to say the least, unexpected.

Even if one were to use the technique of the mayfly to hide far away underground, one could still feel the terrifying aura of that attack.

Although that attack was probably not as powerful as "Super Shinra Tensei", Black Zetsu could sense that the guy was in a weakened state.

If that guy could recover to his peak condition, he would probably be comparable to Madara in his prime.

And, those eyes...

Recalling those blue eyes he had seen from afar, Black Zetsu felt even more anxious and fearful.

For something like it, which has no real strength and can only resort to tricks, the most terrifying thing is the unexpected.

In its thousands of years of memories, the Rinnegan should be the pinnacle that these inferior humans can reach. Even that bastard Hagoromo Otsutsuki was nothing more than that in his lifetime. The only one who possessed a stronger Rinne Sharingan was its mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

But now, why, how could, have an eye that is no less powerful than the Rinnegan and is unheard of?
It seems there is only one possibility.

"People from outside the world..."

Thinking of this last possibility, Black Zetsu's body surface rippled, as if its body was trembling with fear.

In the ninja world, a "kindred spirit" and "otherworldly being" from the mother's memories has actually appeared?
Yes, even my mother didn't have eyes like that, so only someone from "outer heavens" could possess them!

"No! This is an opportunity I've waited a thousand years for. No one can stop me from helping my mother regain her freedom!" Black Zetsu's empty eyes narrowed slightly. "I must get Obito and Nagato to start collecting the Tailed Beasts immediately!"

If these Rinnegan eyes weren't something it had waited a thousand years to obtain, given Black Zetsu's cautious nature, it would probably have already hidden away, or at least waited until it confirmed the identity of the extraterrestrial before appearing.

Unfortunately, no, this is the best and last chance.

With this in mind, Black Zetsu took one last look at the distant void, then controlled White Zetsu to merge with the earth and swim towards the Land of Rain, making the same rational choice as Samui.

Even knowing that a secret was hidden there, it would never risk its life.

Its nature is to send others to scout ahead and then reap the benefits at the last moment.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside Konoha Hospital was extremely oppressive.

"A monster with blue eyes, a robe made of cyan chakra, the Ninja Cult, a hurricane that can be used without hand seals, an abyss that seals monsters..." Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes after hearing Hyuga Kumokawa's account.

If these weren't said by Yun Chuan, such a good boy, and if Qiu Daotang hadn't corroborated them, he probably would have considered them utterly absurd legends.

As if suddenly remembering something, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the boy in front of him and asked, "You said you saw a 'structure' inside that abyss?"

“Yes, I’m sure!” Hinata Kumokawa’s pale face regained some color. “However, I can’t see inside the building. Something is blocking my Byakugan.”

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi stroked his beard thoughtfully, his eyes gleaming.

Could there be any secrets or mystical arts left behind at the place where a monster that could very well have lived from ancient legends to the present day was sealed?
If it's true, if I could get it...

Hearing the notification sound in his mind, Hinata Kumokawa's heart stirred slightly, and a smile arose in his heart.

The fish is hooked.

Black Zetsu is here too? What a pleasant surprise.
