Chapter 198 The Awakening of the Puppet
When Black Zetsu discovered that Nohara Rin was missing, he finally confirmed that Afei's judgment was correct.
They were fooled!
"How can it be repaired!!"
They clearly possessed the unstoppable ability of Mayfly Technique! This place was clearly their home ground, and there were a large number of low-level White Zetsu nearby to help monitor!
Black Zetsu, who claimed to be the mastermind behind all this, had been plotting against Madara all his life, but he never imagined that his first solo deal after Madara's death would be breached!
To put it bluntly, the enemy's strategy is not complicated - it is just a show of force to scare the enemy.
He deliberately made Uchiha Shisui say misleading words like "Nohara Rin is in danger" while being monitored, thus diverting the attention of Black Zetsu and the others.
These days, Black Zetsu has been dreaming about the "distant friend" mentioned by Shisui.
Until today, when the originally perfect surveillance network was torn apart due to the actions of Shisui and Kakashi, the real mastermind finally took action and punched Black Zetsu in the vitals!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Where are the White Zetsu around? Did they see who took Lin away? Why wasn't there any warning at all?"
Black Zetsu asked irritably and continuously.
The unreliable Bai Jue and A Fei calmed down at this time, as if he had a feeling of calmness and ease as if the idea of giving up came to him.
"Stop howling, it's useless. The White Zetsu responsible for surveillance in this area are all low-level individuals without intelligence.
You were the one who had the intelligent White Zetsu monitor Kakashi these days. It's no use blaming them now."
Hei Jue stared at Ah Fei fiercely.
"Do you want to go back to the Outer Golem to reset?"
The rambling Ah Fei finally behaved himself.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
Black Zetsu took a deep breath, and the pitcher plant opened and closed for a while, and then said, "Can you track where Lin is going?"
"It should be possible. We have a backup plan." A Fei replied.
"Alright! Then hurry up and chase them. Mobilize all the hidden agents on the front line of Kirigakure. Execute the plan ahead of schedule. We can't delay any longer!"
After venting his anger, Black Zetsu finally calmed down, but the fighting spirit in his eyes was still there.
He believes he still has a chance!
Lin was the key to the entire plan, so they kept her as a safety precaution.
Even at this moment Black Zetsu was still thinking secretly: If the mysterious enemy hadn't discovered their backup plan, then no matter what the purpose of the troublemaker taking Lin away was, maybe they could give that person a surprise in the end!
It’s a pity that this time, his expectant fantasy is destined to be dashed again.
Same time, different space.
The mysterious troublemaker was naturally Shiba Kiyokawa, who was taking off his hood and looking calmly at the awakened Nohara Rin.
"You're dying, you know?"
But his plain words stimulated Nohara Rin for a moment and she jumped back quickly, creating distance while throwing out shurikens. Her movements were smooth and her speed was acceptable, showing her fairly good ninja qualities.
While fighting back Lin was still questioning, "Who are you? Where do you want to take me? What is your purpose?"
However, Shiba Kiyokawa simply tilted his head and sideways to avoid most of the shurikens, and finally reached out his hand and took off the last shuriken with two fingers.
Merely having decent ninja qualities is not enough for him now.
Before he could continue his attack, Lin staggered and fell to the ground, leaning over and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
There were some white spores mixed in the blood foam.
After vomiting blood, Lin looked up in horror and asked, "What did you do to me?"
Shiba Qinghe walked forward calmly, the glow of medical ninjutsu on his hand lit up, his movements remained unhurried, and he spoke in a calm tone.
"You are a medical ninja yourself, so you should be able to feel that my chakra just now did not hurt you. I just stimulated these abnormalities in your body. As for their origin, it has nothing to do with me." As he said this, he ignored Nohara Rin's struggle and pressed the medical ninjutsu in his palm on Rin's chest again.
This finally made Lin, who had just felt a sharp pain in her chest, feel better.
She fell silent as a result, staring at the blood foam she had just coughed up on the ground in a daze.
It is obvious that the spores in the blood foam this time are the backup plan left by Black Zetsu and his men.
Since they were determined to sacrifice this girl to bring down Obito, they would of course arrange safety measures in advance.
This is also the reason why they are confident in catching up with Lin: because these spores will guide them to their location.
But now, Shiba Kiyokawa discovered these hidden means as soon as he arrived.
And he told Lin bluntly, "You are about to die. The spores have taken root in your body. Time is limited. I can't save you."
Lin raised her head and looked at her blankly.
"Why are you telling me this? You...you can kill me easily."
Shiba Qinghe smiled, "I just hope you don't die unclearly. If I don't intervene, you probably won't know who killed you until you die."
Lin tilted her head and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
After completing the treatment, Shiba Kiyokawa stood up, stretched out his hand to pull up Lin, who was kneeling on the ground. For a moment, he was like a charlatan, making mysterious predictions.
"Without my intervention, you would never have noticed the abnormality in your body, and you would not have discovered that you were already a puppet that was about to die.
Afterwards, the elite troops of Kirigakure will launch a surprise attack and rush here. They will capture you, take you back, and turn you into a temporary Jinchūriki of the Three-tailed Isobu.
People around you will tell you that this is to use you as a container to transport the Three-Tails. Once they arrive in Konoha, they will release the Three-Tails and use the tailed beasts to destroy the Konoha Village you love so much.
You will foolishly believe it, without reflecting on why such an important plan can be easily obtained by you, a 'container' as a tool.
After that, you can think about what you would choose to protect Konoha Village. "
Although Shiba Kiyokawa's tone was calm and leisurely, as if he had a sense of divinity, Nohara Rin still heard a hint of mockery in it.
She retorted somewhat unconvinced.
"These are just your unfounded fantasies, right? Who would go to so much trouble to target a mere Chunin like me? What on earth do you want to do to me? Ahem! Ahem!"
As she spoke, Nohara Lin started coughing uncontrollably again.
The spores deliberately activated by Shiba Kiyokawa were destroying her body, causing more and more white spots to appear in the blood she coughed up.
Seeing that Lin didn't believe it, Shiba Qinghe didn't get angry. He just released the healing ninjutsu again to stabilize her condition, and at the same time secretly catalyzed the spores in her body to grow stronger.
"You may not believe it, but you will see it with your own eyes soon.
My only sincere advice is this: when you have the opportunity to make a choice, don't sacrifice yourself blindly.
I hope you will then see clearly who your real enemy is."
As he said this, he stepped back on his own and soon disappeared under Nohara Lin's puzzled gaze.
But before leaving, no one noticed that he had quietly drawn a tube of blood from Lin.
Nohara Lin was a little stunned for a moment, not understanding why this mysterious man with terrifying skills kidnapped her, took her away from the hospital, and just helped with treatment and left without doing anything else?
Who is this person and what does he want to do?
Just when Lin was puzzled, the sound of breaking air came quickly from far away!
next moment--
The elite troops of Kirigakure actually arrived!
