It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

Upon landing on the ground, Erzhuzi saw the lightning bolt slashing down from the sky and dodged it with a slide tackle.

Looking at the scorched ravine more than 50 meters long that had been cut into the ground, Erzhuzi was also extremely puzzled.

Is that really Chidori? Why doesn't it have the same power in his hands? Did Kakashi slip in his own ideas while teaching him?

Chapter 291, White Zetsu Infiltration Plan

After transforming the Thousand Birds Spear into its melee form, Zhixue landed on the ground and swooped down towards Erzhuzi.

Swish!

Almost in the blink of an eye, Zhixue had already arrived in front of Erzhuzi with the Thousand Birds.

"So fast!"

Seeing the lightning in Zhixue's hand, Sasuke barely managed to react and held the Thunder God Sword in front of him, but the enormous impact still sent him flying.

"Water Release: Water Gun Technique!" Zhi Xue reduced the speed at which the Water Gun was formed and aimed it at Zhu Zi before firing it.

Before he could react for long in the air, Sasuke activated the initial form of Susanoo and blocked the Water Gun.

After rolling around on the ground a few times, Erzhuzi stood up, his hand holding the Thor's Sword still trembling slightly.

"Is this the difference..." Erzhuzi was also surprised to see Zhixue's effortless appearance.

Seeing the lightning spear extending from afar, Sasuke activated his skeleton to its first form, gripping the Chidori Spear in Susanoo's large hand, and his body continued to grow taller.

"Oh? You've already learned how to evolve into Susanoo form so quickly. Did Itachi teach you?" Zhixue asked with great interest, looking at Sasuke's dark purple Susanoo.

She originally thought that Sasuke, without the three years of training with Orochimaru, wouldn't be able to grasp advanced techniques so quickly even after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan. However, his progress was much faster than she had imagined.

"It was Nii-san and Shisui who taught me, but I'm not very proficient yet," Sasuke said, panting heavily as he covered his eyes.

Seeing Sasuke struggling to activate Susanoo to its second form, Zhixue instantly activated Sage Mode as well.

A burst of turquoise chakra erupted, and a pale white light gradually appeared on Zhixue's body, forming layers of patterns. A layer of light purple eyeshadow adorned the corners of her eyes.

Looking at the two white dragon horns emerging from that smooth black hair, Sasuke suddenly felt a sense of unease for no reason.

Floating in mid-air, Zhixue gently clenched her small hand, and suddenly earth spikes rose up around Erzhuzi, crisscrossing and surrounding Susanoo, constantly pressing towards the center.

Swish!

He transformed his bow and arrow into a longsword, and with a horizontal slash, cut down most of the surrounding earth spikes. But even after cutting them down, earth and rocks continued to rise from the ground and surge onto Susanoo's body.

"Immortal Technique: The Technique of Inorganic Reincarnation!"

Gradually, Sasuke's power waned as his chakra dwindled, and Susanoo eventually dissipated under the pressure of the Inorganic Reincarnation technique.

Seeing Erzhuzi collapse on the ground from exhaustion, Zhixue deactivated her immortal mode and pulled him up.

"Alright, you've only forcibly boosted your strength by relying on the Kaleidoscope's power. You should go back and reflect on your abilities." Zhi Xue Er Zhu Zi pulled him up and said.

She originally wanted to have some fun with Sasuke, but he was still too young, and after his battle with Deidara, his chakra was simply insufficient to support the use of Susanoo.

Seeing Zhixue extend her hand to him, Erzhuzi blushed slightly and shook it.

"I was crushed this time, but in two or three years, I will definitely catch up with you."

"Alright, you're only 13 years old, and you've already done quite well to this extent. As my half-disciple, I'm very pleased," Zhixue said with a smile, clapping her hands.

"Sister Zhixue, may I ask you a question?" Erzhuzi asked, scratching his head as he looked at Zhixue, who seemed to be in a very peaceful mood.

"No." Sitting on the stone slab, Zhixue shook her head and replied, looking at Sasuke's thirst for knowledge.

Erzhuzi: ...

"Alright, I know what you want to ask, but I can't answer you. If you want the answers, you'll understand after this war is over."

Looking at Zhixue sitting to the side, Erzhuzi said with great incomprehension, "But Sister Zhixue, the organization you are in now is at odds with the entire ninja world. It's too dangerous. And do you really want to face Brother Shisui on the battlefield?"

"Well, I won't answer your question. If you want to know, I'll tell you after the war." Zhi Xue tossed two bottles of eye power recovery potions to Sasuke.

"What... what is this?" Erzhuzi asked, looking at the green potion in his hand with some confusion.

"You can think of it as a potion to slow down the decline of pupil power. Remember to drink it after you finish using Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi."

Hearing Zhixue pronounce the two names so easily, Erzhuzi gave Zhixue a strange look.

How did Sister Zhixue know about his pupil technique?

"Alright, it seems some grunts have already come to check this out. You should leave too. My mission is complete, and it's time for me to go back." Zhi Xue, sensing several White Zetsu gradually emerging from underground a few kilometers away, also advised Sasuke.

"Wait, I have a few more questions..." Before Erzhuzi could finish speaking, Zhixue used her first level of ability to open a crack and send him back.

"Sigh, being a master isn't easy. Why does seeing Sasuke remind me of Gaara? I wonder if he's still at the academy?"

Mentioning the academy, Zhi Xue also felt a headache coming on. After her identity was exposed, she wondered what was happening to Ximo Academy. She would go and check on it when she had time. However, no matter what, the current dean of the academy was Gaara, so Sunagakure should not make things too difficult for them.

Zhi Xue glanced at the direction Bai Jue had come from in the distance, then flew into the sky and left.

Her mission was to rescue Deidara, and now that it's done, it's time for her to leave. What she does next is up to Pain. Anyway, she still prefers to slack off; long live slacking off!

After Zhixue completed her mission, the battle on the main battlefield continued. Black Zetsu took advantage of the Allied Shinobi Forces' growing overconfidence and instability, constantly replacing the ninjas that White Zetsu was impersonating. This led to serious information leaks, and there were even frequent incidents of White Zetsu disguised as Allied Shinobi Forces members attempting to assassinate them.

By this point, the silent infiltration of White Zetsu had begun to take effect. No one knew whether a White Zetsu had infiltrated their team, and in the dead of night, no one wanted to be met with a dagger in the darkness.

A week has passed since the Allied Shinobi Forces and the Akatsuki officially began their war, and the battle situation has gradually shifted from initial dominance to a decline due to internal problems.

Looking at the hundreds of corpses covered with white sheets lying on the ground, Mei Terumi's expression also turned solemn.

"There are more than a dozen more corpses than yesterday, and the camouflage is so perfect that even a white eye can't see through it. It seems that the infiltration of those combat weapons is quite serious. This is not a good sign..."

Chapter 292, Naruto's Return

In the darkness, Asuma, who was warming himself by the fire around his tent, sensed the approaching footsteps behind him and drew his kunai.

Swish!

A dark figure attacked from a distance, but before it could pounce, it was stabbed to death from behind by a short knife.

Kakashi frowned as he looked at the corpses of the Allied Shinobi Forces gradually turning into White Zetsu on the ground.

"This kind of enemy is really hard to guard against. I feel like it will be difficult to get a good night's sleep in the next few days."

“That’s right. Even you users of ocular jutsu can’t detect it, let alone us ordinary ninjas.” Asuma offered Kakashi a cigarette from his pocket, but Kakashi politely declined.

Sitting down next to Asuma, Kakashi looked at the warm campfire in front of him and sighed.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright. These hidden rats are only having a temporary advantage. Once the Allied Shinobi Forces find a way to deal with them, this crisis will be over soon," Asuma said, comforting Kakashi as he sighed.

"Ah, actually I'm not sighing about this matter, but about something else."

Although the special assassination squad has just been assembled, the enemy has probably already received the news due to the extent of White Zetsu's infiltration. Now, it won't be so easy to secretly kill Akatsuki members on the battlefield. Moreover, if the enemy is her, Kakashi doesn't know what form he should use to deal with her.

Although Kakashi rarely contacted Zhixue after she left the Anbu years ago, the fact that his friend, with whom he had shared life and death, had transformed into a cold-blooded demon who murdered his brother after being missing for many years was something Kakashi could not accept the most.

Akatsuki base...

As Kakashi suspected, the White Zetsu, who had infiltrated the Allied Shinobi Forces' upper echelons, had obtained firsthand intelligence from the assassination squad and reported it to Obito.

"Kakashi, that piece of trash, is actually a vice-captain? Ha, a special assassination squad, whose mission is to kill the few remaining Akatsuki members. What a ridiculous idea."

"Should we tell Pain?" White Zetsu asked Obito, who had delivered the information.

Currently, although Pain is the leader of Akatsuki, due to Black Zetsu, the information obtained by White Zetsu basically has to go through Obito before it can be delivered to Pain.

"It's not a big deal to tell him this information, but if he finds out, who will he send out?" With curiosity, Obito sent White Zetsu to transmit the information to Nagato, while he himself gradually distorted and disappeared into the Kamui dimension.

Three days later, in the early morning, as the weather grew colder, a thin layer of frost settled on the tents. Naruto, who had just rushed back from Mount Myōboku, frowned as he looked at the ninjas around him.

"Perverted Sage, why do I feel like there's something off about the ninjas in the camp? Have we really arrived in the territory of the Allied Shinobi Forces?" Naruto asked Jiraiya curiously, looking at the few ninjas packing up their things in the distance.

"Ah, of course, Tsunade's letter to me is indeed here. Did you notice something wrong?" Jiraiya asked, noticing Naruto's strange behavior.

"It's not really a problem..."

Just as Naruto was still wondering what was wrong with him, a ninja wearing a headband from the Allied Shinobi Forces appeared in front of them.

"You must be Jiraiya-sama? I've heard so much about you."

"Who are you?" Naruto asked in a low voice, standing in front of Jiraiya with some wariness.

"Naruto..." Jiraiya pulled the rather impolite Naruto aside, then chatted with the ninja in front of him for a while before heading together to a distant tent to register their information and save it in their files.

As Naruto walked on the surrounding sand, he heard a disdainful voice coming from the depths of his own heart.

"Hmph, I didn't expect there to be so many hostile guys in this place. It seems that the human army is nothing special."

"Hey, you big fox, can't you say something nice?"

"I've been very polite to you, you brat. If it weren't for the bigger picture, do you think I would even bother with you?" A proud fox in a cage said to Naruto, tucking its paws into its soft, furry tail.

Naruto:……

"Haha, Jiraiya-sama, it's just ahead. After you register, you can move freely around the Allied Shinobi Forces' base."

"Well, are the coalition forces really this troublesome these days?" Jiraiya asked with a strange look in his eyes, looking at an inconspicuous gray tent in the distance.

What Naruto said seems to make some sense; he also seems to have sensed that something is wrong.

Although he knew there was something wrong with the ninjas nearby, Jiraiya still led Naruto inside, since with their combined strength, they weren't really afraid of being ambushed.

Upon seeing the two enter, the ninja who had brought them there curled up a wicked smile, then waved his hand, pulling up the curtain, and a thin layer of white poisonous mist drifted out from the surroundings.

"I didn't expect these two to be so easily fooled. It seems Lord Black Zetsu's mission will soon be complete. The vast Allied Shinobi Forces camp will gradually disintegrate into fragments under our White Zetsu's perfect transformation technique, hahaha..."

Just when White Zetsu thought his plan was about to succeed, a Rasengan suddenly struck him in the face from a distance. Under the powerful impact, his entire face seemed to be deformed as he collapsed to the ground.

Jiraiya, who emerged from the tent, was shocked to see the ninja Naruto had trampled underfoot gradually turn into a white, unidentified object.

"What...is this thing?"

The five Kage, unaware of Jiraiya's predicament, were gathered together and were all somewhat puzzled by the sudden turn of events.

It seems that the Akatsuki organization has learned about the Allied Shinobi Forces' organization of a special assassination squad through some channels, because there were no Akatsuki ninjas on the battlefield in the past few days, but there seemed to be more white combat weapons deployed to the battlefield than before.

"This is a strange phenomenon. Are they going to hide like cowards?" Raikage frowned as he looked at the events described in the intelligence report.

"Not necessarily. Although we have formed an assassination squad, we have not started to take action immediately. The Akatsuki organization cannot be just because of these white humanoid weapons. They are probably waiting for something in the dark. We should take precautions."

“Hmm, that makes some sense. However, before we can focus on the main battlefield, our internal problems are escalating. If this wretched vegetative state continues to lurk like this, it’s really disgusting…” Mei Terumi recalled the white thing that might have been lurking around her all along and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

"Regarding this issue, Tsunade and the medical staff have already developed a corresponding drug to counteract the enemy based on their DNA information. Although it's still in the experimental stage, these rats hiding within us won't be able to hop around for much longer," Shisui explained after hearing Mei Terumi raise the question.
