Everyone thought that after Shirahoshi appeared and solved Akatsuki's problems, the ninja world might usher in a new peace.
But unexpectedly,
First, Jiraiya's apprentice Nagato was assassinated in the village.
Then Konan was attacked by unknown people and had no choice but to leave Amegakure.
The speed at which these things happened was truly unexpected.
After a brief conversation in the office, someone summoned Xiao Nan over.
Seeing the now mature-looking Konan again, Shirahoshi couldn't help but think of the fifteen-year-old Konan in her own world. "Miss Konan, we meet again."
Seeing Shirahoshi, Xiaonan's face showed both joy and sorrow. "I never thought we would meet in this way two years later."
"I'm so sorry about Nagato. I couldn't stop him, but I never expected that Nagato would be assassinated before his plan could be carried out again."
"It's alright. What has been done will be done again. What has been done will be done again. Speaking of which, what about Black Zetsu and White Zetsu's true forms? What happened to them?" Bai Xing was still a little curious about Black Zetsu's situation.
If what Kaguya said is true, Black Zetsu would definitely bewitch Nagato, and perhaps Nagato listened to Black Zetsu and restarted the plan.
"I don't know." Xiao Nan shook her head. "When I ran away, I was all alone. The people who were chasing me didn't catch up."
Tsunade continued, "To be honest, the Land of Rain and even Amegakure have become dangerous places now, with ninjas and civilians frequently disappearing mysteriously after entering."
"Perhaps, if we investigate further, we will find out."
"..."
"Didn't you send anyone before?" Bai Xing asked after a moment of silence.
Tsunade explained, "We sent them out. But we didn't get any information back. And we lost quite a few ninjas."
“I see…” Bai Xing pinched her chin, thought for a moment, and said, “Since that’s the case…”
"Let me lead the team this time."
"I happen to need to get something from someone in that organization."
"Then I'll leave it to you," Tsunade said.
"You're welcome," Bai Xing waved her hand.
Before leaving the Hokage Building, Tsunade explained that only Team 8 had time at the moment, as many other teams had their own missions to complete.
Shirahoshi didn't mind; with three people with sensory abilities assisting her, it wouldn't be a problem.
After taking a walk around the village, I found that not much had changed, perhaps because so much had happened in the past two years and relations between countries were tense.
"These are truly turbulent times."
I walked along the way without seeing anyone familiar.
"You! It's you, isn't it! Shirahoshi!!"
Just as Shirahoshi was about to return to the inn with Karura beside her, a voice suddenly came from behind her. Shirahoshi stopped and turned around.
Only then did they realize that she was an Anbu female ninja dressed in an Anbu uniform with long purple hair.
"Is this Miss Uzuki Yugao?"
"May I ask what brings you here?"
Shirahoshi turned around and saw Yugao, who had removed her mask. Yugao bit her crystal-clear red lips, staring at Shirahoshi's face, then turned to look at Karura.
"Was it because of her that you left the village and returned to the past world?"
Bai Xing: "?" I know you?
He thought for a long time and finally remembered that more than a year ago, when he came to this world from the past world, he used the power of Kotoamatsukami on Uzuki Yugao!
"Uh." Bai Xing scratched his head. He hadn't brought Kotoamatsukami's eyes with him this time. "Um... let me explain?"
"Okay, I'll listen to your explanation." Uzuki Yugao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "No matter what, you have to give me an answer."
Karura beside him: *stares*
Feeling the gazes from the side, Bai Xing said somewhat helplessly, "Then would you like to come to my world with me?"
"it is good!"
Uzuki Yugao's decisive answer surprised Shirahoshi, who thought to herself, "Don't you have any family left?"
But after thinking about the probability of an orphan in the Hokage's world, and considering that the other party was able to join the Anbu, Shirahoshi stopped asking about these things. "Then come with me. I have something to take care of these next two days. Shall we go together?"
Perfect, this also allows us to test whether people from this world can be brought over.
After all, White Zetsu is different from real living beings; White Zetsu has no soul.
"Yes!" Under the baptism of Kotoamatsukami, in Uzuki Yugao's eyes, Shirahoshi was the man who had always accompanied her as she grew up.
Looking at Karura beside her, Uzuki Yugao was a little annoyed. She took the initiative to grab Shirahoshi's arm and asked, "Then... Shirahoshi... who is this woman?"
Karura stepped forward and took Shirahoshi's other arm, laughing, "Guess~?"
“Friend,” Bai Xing said, then added, “He’s also kind of my subordinate.”
“That’s right, that’s right.” Karura pressed her face against Shirahoshi’s shoulder, meeting Uzuki Yugao’s somewhat disbelieving gaze: “She’s a friend and subordinate with a special relationship, you know~”
“You—” Uzuki Yugao bit her lip again, her eyes filled with determination. She absolutely could not let this seemingly seductive woman get close to Shirahoshi.
"Shirahoshi, I can help you too."
"Yeah. I know," Bai Xing replied casually.
However, Uzuki Yugao believed that Shirahoshi had agreed to her identity, and she secretly vowed to manage the team well and not let these Tom, Dick, and Harry who were only trying to seduce Shirahoshi get close to her...
......
Two days later.
Inside the desolate Rain Village.
laugh!laugh!laugh!
In the air, the two Xiao Nans were fighting, and countless specially made white paper pieces collided with each other.
Below, Karura, without Sage Mode activated, manipulates sand to fight against Hidan and Kakuzu.
Meanwhile, Uzuki Yugao and the trio from Class 8 were dealing with Deidara and Sasori.
just.
The strength of these five members of Akatsuki is somewhat inconsistent with their normal strength; there is a certain gap in their abilities.
Shirahoshi's opponent is a White Zetsu who looks similar to Uzumaki White Zetsu, but the opponent has Sharingan.
It's still the Sharingan with three tomoe.
"Haha, hahaha—"
"I never expected to see you again. Shirahoshi!! You bastard!!!"
"Uchiha Obito? No. He should already be dead. Was he just a clone whose memories were implanted and used?" Shirahoshi activated her Chakra Eye, which combined various bloodstains from different eyes, and examined the situation of the vortex White Zetsu that appeared ahead, discovering that there was no soul inside the other party.
However, the other side possesses independent consciousness, just like 'Konan' above, and 'Deidara', 'Sasori', 'Hidan', and 'Kakuzu' below.
"No. Where are the real Deidara, Sasori, Hidan, and Kakuzu?! I advise you to confess!"
The White Zetsu Uzumaki, who inherited Obito's memories, also known as Tobi, heard Shirahoshi's question and, upon seeing Shirahoshi's smiling face, his crimson Sharingan darkened slightly.
"What you're concerned about isn't the safety of these few people, is it?"
His tone seemed questioning, but he was actually quite certain of Shirahoshi's indifference.
Bai Xing's expression hardened, suppressing her curiosity and regaining her composure. She said, "You guessed right, but there's no reward."
"I will take full control of your bodies and study them thoroughly."
"However, should I call you Obito, Tobi, or... White Zetsu?"
"My codename is Mad Ape!"
"But call me whatever you like."
"Let's begin and see who's stronger!!!" the Mad Ape roared, immediately initiating self-hypnosis...
The moon, such a big and round moon!!!
He knew that Shirahoshi was very strong, so he had to go all out from the start!
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"
As the mad ape roared, the members of the Battle Shell organization who were nearby also noticed what was happening and hurriedly began to flee.
"Don't run!" Xiao Nan wanted to chase after her clone, but it had already escaped, so there was nothing she could do.
"I really don't know how she has so much chakra." Konan and the clone Konan fought for a long time. Even though the clone Konan was not as skilled in using the Paper Release as the real Konan, the other party's chakra was obviously more than hers!
Below, Kakuzu should have been five black earth grudges, but now he has become five Kakuzu-like figures, like one main body and four shadow clones.
Upon hearing the roar of the mad ape, Kakuzu decisively grabbed the 'clone' beside him and merged with it, leaving only one person remaining.
"It's time for Hidan to go."
"Damn it! What a pity I didn't send these people to see the evil god!" Hidan turned and left.
Deidara caught up with Sasori, who was using ordinary puppets, as he flew away from the battlefield.
"Aaaaaah—" the mad ape continued to roar, its muscles gradually expanding and its size slowly increasing.
Bai Xing's eyes showed even more joy.
I can't believe someone has perfected this experiment! He hadn't even started his research yet, and someone else beat him to it!
"What should we do? Retreat?" At this moment, Uzuki Yugao had to put aside the thoughts that had been on her mind two days ago.
Hinata Hyuga activated her Byakugan and examined the meridians within the Berserker Ape's body. "Something's wrong! His chakra is increasing! And this chakra gives off an ominous feeling!"
Shino Aburame said, "My insects are starting to get alert."
Enlarged Akamaru: "Woof woof!"
Kiba Inuzuka nodded: "Akamaru and Shino are right, this aura is getting more and more strange! And it's extremely dangerous, we need to retreat quickly!"
boom! ! !
