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

Chapter 69 White Zetsu: What the hell are you?! (Please read on, this is the last time QAQ)

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Kakashi Hatake practically threw himself out.

He collapsed onto the pool of water outside the tower, panting heavily. Fear and pushing his limits caused sweat to stream down his face.

His legs were almost numb, covered with charred marks from his feet to his thighs, his muscles spasming and twitching uncontrollably, and dark red burns could even be seen under his skin.

He clearly escaped by stimulating his body with Lightning Release chakra, leaving him no chance to even use Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall to defend himself.

So, the others...

Bang! !

A sickeningly loud cracking sound rang out, and two figures were instantly sent flying backward and crashed towards him. Kakashi Hatake instinctively reached out to catch them, but his feet slid backward several steps before he regained his balance.

Frowning and looking down, I saw two familiar faces, and was immediately filled with surprise and joy.

Hinata Kumokawa and Tenzo were both exhausted; the former was merely weakened, while the latter's abdomen had been pierced, as if a piece of it had been ripped out while he was still alive.

Yes, the Rejuvenation Technique doesn't require hand seals, and Yun Chuan actually saved Tian Zang!
I've got a basic understanding of that guy's abilities. He's troublesome, but if Yun Chuan helps, is there still a chance...?

"Kakashi...senpai..."

The 'Hyuga Kumokawa' who was caught by him spoke in a hoarse voice, seemingly due to exhaustion: "Hurry up, Hanzo and those Amegakure ninjas are about to make their move!"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi Hatake felt as if he had been doused with cold water, instantly sobering up.

Hanzo was persuaded by that guy; he and Yun Chuan alone could not deal with so many enemies.

Kakashi Hatake staggered to his feet and looked up into the tower.

Damn it! That guy who suddenly appeared—if it weren't for him, the alliance between Konoha and Amegakure would have already been formed!

And now, the dozen or so men he brought with him are probably all dead!

The sounds inside the tower gradually subsided. Kakashi realized that it would be too late if they didn't leave now, so he could only grit his teeth and help the two of them escape.

At the same time, inside the tower, Hanzo led the Rain Village ninjas in. They subconsciously twitched their nostrils, smelling the endless stench, and many of them turned slightly pale.

What they saw was a bewitching crimson, like a pool of blood slashed open by an artery, the thick, crimson blood already seeping into and engulfing the ground.

Everyone instinctively looked up, and in the moonlight, a spiderweb woven by shadows hung silently in the air.

Cruel, evil, bloody, and brutal, yet it possesses a unique, twisted beauty.

Several Konoha ninjas who still had a breath left struggled in the air, suspended by the dark shadows, only to find that they could not use their chakra and could not break free. They could only curse helplessly.

But as the shadows gradually covered their bodies from bottom to top, their curses turned into low sobs and pleas for mercy, and finally into a chilling silence.

Everyone could smell the ruthless ferocity emanating from above, the terrifying, suffocating aura so palpable it was enough to make them tremble, grit their teeth, and flee in terror.

"..."

Hanzo exhaled deeply, as if trying to expel the chill in his chest and the overwhelming stench of blood.

"Do you mean what you said?" He looked at the dark figure above him and said in a deep voice, "We can buy the supplies at a 10% premium over the black market price, but what you said at the end..."

The Land of Rain and Amegakure have never lacked money; in fact, they are quite advanced in the steel industry.

Moreover, Amegakure is renowned for its assassination skills, and many people are accustomed to hiring Amegakure ninjas to carry out assassinations. Naturally, they also have no shortage of missions to earn bounties.

However, the Land of Rain is short of food. In peacetime, it can be bought with money, but in wartime, trade will be cut off, and food will be unavailable. Even if some merchants take the risk, they cannot afford the prices that have increased several times over.

If Hyuga Kumokawa could truly provide food, they would genuinely dare to fight the Five Great Nations to the bitter end. However, what Hanzo cared about most was that guy's last sentence.

"You mean, a younger body and greater strength?"

Hinata Kumokawa collected Tenzo's flesh and blood into a scroll, then stepped onto the invisible shadow and, under the watchful or fearful gazes of the crowd, walked down from the height step by step.

And they finally saw the man's face clearly: a flowing black robe covering his entire body, obscuring his face from the deep shadows.

Meeting Hanzo's gaze, which was cloudy but still sharp, Hyuga Kumokawa stopped in front of him and said with a soft laugh, "Don't move."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out his hand to Hanzo. Jinda, who was standing to the side, changed his expression slightly and was about to step forward to stop him, but then he heard Hanzo say calmly, "Do as he says."

The movements of Shinta and the Amegakure members immediately froze, and at the same time, Hyuga Kumokawa placed his hand on Hanzo's shoulder.

The next moment, black, winding lines spread out from his palm and climbed up Hanzo's body.

This is the abridged version of the "wedge".

Like the complete "Karma", it has the ability to absorb and release ninjutsu, and also has certain effects of the "Yin Seal" and the "Heavenly Curse Seal".

Simply put, he can't replicate his complete genetic file like Momoshiki Otsutsuki; he can only achieve parasitism at the chakra and soul level.

Similar to how Minato and Kushina sealed a portion of Naruto's chakra in the original work, Hyuga Kumokawa was also able to communicate directly with the owner of the "Karma" through the chakra of the "Karma".

With this technique, Hyuga Kumokawa can do many things, and can also silently approach those who cannot be approached with their true identities...

Buzz! Buzz!
Feeling the gentle yet domineering chakra surge into his body, Hanzo frowned and opened his mouth as if to say something, but he suddenly stopped before he could speak.

As he stared in disbelief, something white began to wriggle and grow from his shoulder...

"what!!"

Accompanied by a terrified and shrill scream, a white, humanoid creature twisted and grew out, first its head, then its body.

"What the hell is this?!" x2
The white humanoid creature and Hanzo simultaneously let out sounds of fear.

Hanzo didn't know what it was, but Yun Chuan knew it very well.

Bai Jue.

It has been living parasitically in Hanzo's body, responsible for monitoring Hanzo and transmitting intelligence, and has been very stable for the past few years.

Until this guy suddenly appeared...

"How can it be?!"

White Zetsu twisted and contorted, emerging from Hanzo's body like a squeezed-out white liquid, uttering a cry similar to a human's, its white face filled with terror: "What the hell are you?!"

That black thing, which was clearly similar to chakra, actually squeezed it out of Hanzo's body!
It was created using the Gedo Mazo and Hashirama cells, but the chakra it exuded felt even more ferocious and domineering than that of the Hashirama cells!

It's like treating Hanzo's body as your own, not allowing any foreign objects to remain on your territory.

"That's a question I should be asking you!"

Before White Zetsu could get a response, it was grabbed by the neck by Hanzo, who looked shocked and furious, and was violently pulled out of his body.

"What the hell are you?"

Hanzo stared intently at it, his expression contorted with rage, and asked, "How did you get inside me? When exactly did it start...?"
