Chapter 197 We seem to have been tricked
Black Zetsu suspected that the person who would cause trouble would be a Konoha ninja - because that person reminded Kakashi to protect Rin;
He also suspected that it might be Akatsuki - because Akatsuki had ruined his plans several times.
But the only thing I didn’t expect was that the person who came was actually a Kirigakure ninja!
To be precise: he was a former Kirigakure ninja.
One of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the user of the beheading sword: Biwa Juzo.
"How could it be him?"
Hei Zetsu was shocked.
He then quickly called Bai Jue A Fei and asked him about the situation.
However, A Fei only knew that Biwa Juzo returned to the village briefly after the defeat of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and then disappeared.
Apart from this, Ah Fei knew nothing.
"Then why did he become friends with Uchiha Shisui? Did he betray Kirigakure? How did he know about Nohara Rin?"
Faced with Black Zetsu's series of questions, Ah Fei had no answer and could only say.
"I don't know, but before his death, Madara-sama had manipulated the Mizukage into designating him as a traitor."
This answer made Black Zetsu feel somewhat relieved.
"That's good, then let Kirigakure kill them all together!"
Now Black Zetsu and his men rely entirely on the legacy left for them by Uchiha Madara - the front-line commander of Kirigakure was selected by the Third Mizukage, and his confidants were basically all White Zetsu in disguise.
Because the message was passed back in advance, the Kirigakure Ninja arrived quickly this time!
The moment the Kirigakure Anbu arrived, although he was still nervous inside, Black Zetsu still revealed a cruel smile.
You all must die!
At this time, the Kirigakure Anbu is full of talented people!
In order to implement the blood mist policy, the Mizukage recruited almost all the outstanding talents into the Anbu!
Now he is the captain of the first team of the Anbu, and also the chief of the Kirigakure assassination team, Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost;
The captain of the second ANBU team is Yagura Karatachi;
The captain of the third team is Mei Terumi, and her deputy is Ao!
In Black Zetsu's opinion, this lineup is enough to deal with any threat!
However, what he never expected was that the moment the Kirigakure Anbu arrived, Biwa Juzo turned his unfavorable situation around with just one sentence!
"I have evidence that the Mizukage-sama was murdered!"
After saying that, Biwa Juzo swung his sword without hesitation and slashed at the captain of the second team of Anbu, Karatachi Yagura!
Although the Anbu members are required to wear masks when they go out, to be honest, in the ninja world, the concealing effect of masks is often minimal.
For example, the body shape of Xiguashan Pufferfish Demon and the figure of Mei Terumi are both obvious features that cannot be concealed no matter how hard a mask tries.
The same goes for Karuta Yagura. His brown hair, pink eyes, and a physique that is obviously shorter than his peers are all obvious features.
Biwa Juzang naturally found him at a glance!
"what?!"
Seeing this, the surrounding Kirigakure ANBU ninjas were visibly stunned.
The drawbacks of the blood mist policy were immediately apparent at this moment - there was a lack of trust between different teams. Under the impact of the exploding facts, at the first moment, only Karuta Yagura's direct team members were there to cover their captain and fight against Biwa Juzo.
The other five teams stopped immediately, with their expressions changing and their looks varying.
Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi played the role of supporting the team, only blocking the other five Kirigakure Anbu teams, and did not directly participate in the battle with Biwa Juzo.
This made the other members of the Kirigakure Anbu even more undecided.
In the end, it was Mei Terumi who took the initiative to step forward and asked in a cold voice: "Shisui of the Instant Soul, Minato's disciple, may I ask why the two of you are here today?"
His tone seemed cold and stern, but in fact he no longer had the resolute murderous intent he had when he set out.
Black Zetsu, who was peeping from a distance, felt extremely anxious.
"What are you asking? What's there to ask? Just kill them! Kill them all!"
On the contrary, Bai Zetsu A Fei pondered calmly for a moment, then looked up with a little realization and looked at Hei Zetsu on the branch above.
"Tell me, have we been fooled?"
Black Zetsu was still anxiously jumping up and down, but when he heard Ah Fei's words, he was suddenly stunned.
"What did you say?!"
“I feel like we’ve been tricked. According to our original plan, we should have launched Kirigakure to capture Nohara Rin a few days ago, but because of Shisui’s meeting with Kakashi, we postponed the capture of Rin.
At the same time, because of what Shisui said a few days ago, we have transferred all the White Zetsu nearby to monitor Shisui and Kakashi and be on guard against that distant friend.
But we didn’t hear who that ‘distant friend’ was or what he wanted to do that day.”
The more White Zetsu Afei spoke, the colder Black Zetsu's back felt. "You-what are you talking about?!"
“I mean, although our Mayfly Jutsu is invincible, no ninja can detect us, and no one can escape our surveillance.
But... these days, our attention seems to have been manipulated by an invisible hand. "
Although these were obviously very scary words, Bai Jue A Fei still spoke in an ignorant and calm tone.
Just like when he was usually concentrating on the philosophy of poop.
But with his eccentric personality, he can be covered in shit and still remain carefree, but Black Zetsu obviously can't do that.
He almost went crazy when he heard this!
"Why do you think so?! Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
Ah Fei spread his hands innocently.
"Well, didn't I just think of this after seeing Biwa Juzo appear? Biwa Juzo used to be a Kirigakure ninja.
It was always relatively easy for him to convince his former colleagues to stop.
You see, the fact is that he seemed to have anticipated and guessed that we would call in the Kirigakure ANBU, and he handled the situation with ease.
Perhaps, the 'distant friend' that Uchiha Shisui mentioned was a pretext to divert our attention and delay our actions from the very beginning?"
Black Zetsu broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what Ah Fei said.
"You've thought of this, and you're still so calm?! Is there something wrong with your brain? What should we do now? What is the enemy's purpose in diverting our attention and delaying our actions?!"
Black Zetsu yelled at Afei out of control.
As he was yelling, he suddenly figured it out.
The unknown enemy used Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi to divert their attention and lead them away from the Konoha camp.
What's in that Konoha camp?
"Nohara Lin?! Damn it! Go back now!! Lin must not be in any danger! Otherwise, everything will be over!"
Black Zetsu let out a strange cry, then quickly closed the pitcher plant on his head and immediately sank into the earth's veins.
White Zetsu and A Fei also shrugged and followed Black Zetsu into the ground.
Before leaving, he muttered, "This strategy feels as smooth as taking a bowel movement."
Before sinking to the ground, he took one last look into the distance -
Sure enough, Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi somehow managed to temporarily stabilize the other members of the Kirigakure Anbu, and for a moment, only Biwa Juzo and Karuta Yagura were left fighting alone on the field.
At the same time, in the front-line hospital of the Konoha camp, a hooded figure walked through the crowd, strolling leisurely, and appeared in front of Nohara Lin in a blink of an eye!
Under the hood was a plain face.
Nohara Lin quickly discovered who was coming.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? This is a hospital, and only the injured are not allowed to be here!"
Quite alert, the visitor chuckled.
Then the person felt a chakra of perception ninjutsu passing through his body.
Lin was confirming whether she had used the transformation technique.
As a disciple of Minato Namikaze, Rin's basic qualities as a ninja can be said to be online.
It’s a pity that the perceived feedback not only failed to wake Lin up, but paralyzed her instead.
Because the feedback she received was that the person who came did not use transformation skills.
In that moment when my mind relaxed slightly——
The mysterious hooded man made a move and captured her easily!
"I didn't expect the disguise technique taught by Orochimaru to be quite useful."
The mysterious man chuckled in his heart.
Then he picked up the person and left Konoha Hospital in a swagger!
From the time he entered the hospital to the time he left, no one around him noticed anything unusual except the unlucky victim Nohara Lin herself.
The psychological invisibility effect brought by the pinnacle of illusion attainment, combined with the Orochi-style disguise technique that can deceive the perception of ninjutsu, the effect produced is so terrifying!
When Black Zetsu hurriedly arrived using the Mayfly Technique, he saw everything was normal with only a few people around, but the only thing missing was the Konoha Field Hospital where Nohara Rin was.
