This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

He complained in his heart, and was speechless looking at the half-human, half-ghost appearance of Hei Bai Jue in front of him.

But putting aside his image, Black Zetsu's acting skills are still good. If you don't know, you might actually think that the person who was kidnapped was his own brother.

There are many strange things in the ninja world. I don’t know why people still think that Black Zetsu’s honor is just due to "genetic mutation".

As for the trick of "recognizing relatives", Black Zetsu couldn't think of any way to explain his relationship with Uzumaki Nagato in a short time.

After all, if there was no connection, why would Black Zetsu go to the trouble of constantly pursuing Uzumaki Nagato? This simply doesn't make sense.

But then, the middle-aged man suppressed his smile and said with a serious face.

"I am Danzo Shimura!"

As soon as this name came out, the two ninjas who were kneeling at Danzo's feet lowered their heads at the same time, and their bodies trembled slightly, as if they felt a little scared after hearing this name.

"I passed by here today and came across this good seedling. I originally wanted to take him away and cultivate him."

"I didn't expect it would be your brother."

"This is all a misunderstanding, since you are a member of the Senju clan."

"Why don't you follow me back to Konoha? My Root organization is in need of talents like you."

"Danzo Shimura" looked delighted with the talent and gave a sincere invitation to Black Zetsu in front of him.

Hearing this, Black Zetsu forced himself to suppress his somewhat upset mood and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Let me join Konoha? With you?"

"You can't even take a piss and look in the mirror, so you think you're worthy?!"

Black Zetsu cursed secretly in his heart, but looking at the extremely hateful face of "Shimura Danzo" in front of him, Black Zetsu was very "excited and unbearable", and pretended to be impatient and spoke.

“Are you telling the truth?!”

Chapter 197: Life is like a play, all depends on acting

Black Zetsu pretended to be extremely excited, as if he was going to kneel down and accept Danzo Shimura as his boss, and go to the Root organization to start his new life.

There is no doubt that all of this was acted out by Black Zetsu.

At this moment, Black Zetsu only wanted to deceive Danzo, take back Uzumaki Nagato, and then turn around and run away.

Seeing that Danzo actually wanted to "recruit" him, Black Zetsu took advantage of the situation and used the same trick against him.

The reason why Black Zetsu started performing was because he was very clear about Danzo Shimura's identity, and he had the idea of ​​retreating because he was afraid of Danzo.

Danzo Shimura, a disciple of the Second Hokage, is extremely skilled in wind escape and is himself a very powerful ninja.

The two people who previously kidnapped Uzumaki Nagato now have the possibility of defeating Black Zetsu.

After all, although Black Zetsu has the strength of an average Kage, not all of his skill points are focused on combat. If a real fight breaks out, it is still unknown who will win.

The most crucial thing is that because of Ryosuke's previous conspiracy, Uchiha Madara died prematurely.

Without Madara's support, Black Zetsu now has to be extremely low-key.

As the leader of the Konoha Root organization, Danzo's identity is very sensitive.

Black Zetsu's own identity is already shameful. If his identity is exposed, then Black Zetsu and Uchiha Madara's plan will be completely ruined.

In fact, before this, Black Zetsu usually tried his best to avoid the Konoha ninjas. Who knew that he would be so unlucky today and happened to run into Danzo Shimura who was out "hunting".

Black Zetsu did have doubts about the sudden appearance of Danzo Shimura and the Konoha ninjas.

But at this point in time, everything has a reasonable explanation.

First of all, the Land of Rain and Konoha are currently at war. As the leader of the Konoha Root organization, it is not impossible for Danzo Shimura to come to the Land of Rain to carry out some kind of mission.

In addition, the distance between the Rain Country and the Fire Country is very close, so it is reasonable for Danzo Shimura to come in person.

Black Zetsu, who is responsible for intelligence, has some understanding of Danzo's personality and the Root organization's code of conduct.

Given Danzo's cruelty, it was common for him to kidnap and study young people with outstanding talents.

As a member of the Uzumaki clan, Nagato Uzumaki's bloodline itself has great research value, and the Uzumaki clan has a signature red hair that makes them easily recognized.

At this point, everything has a reasonable explanation.

When Danzo Shimura came to the Land of Rain, he happened to discover a member of the Uzumaki clan who was scattered outside - Uzumaki Nagato, and thus Danzo became greedy.

You must know that the Uzumaki Village in Uzumaki Country where the Uzumaki clan gathered at this time has a marriage relationship with the first Hokage and is an ally of Konoha.

This kind of relationship made Danzo always want the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, but he couldn't get it. By chance, he met a "wild" member of the Uzumaki clan, and Danzo naturally took action against him.

In addition, the multiplication technique demonstrated by the burly ninja before is also a technique unique to the Konoha Ninja Clan. This evidence also proves that the two people are ninjas from Konoha.

All the evidence shows that Nagato's kidnapping was just a sudden decision made by Danzo.

It's not that he knows the secret of Nagato.

Although there are still some doubts, this is indeed the most likely and reasonable explanation at the moment.

"So considerate," Shimura Danzo was slightly taken aback, then he looked happy.

"Hahaha!!!!"

"Good good!!!"

"Danzo Shimura" said three "good"s in a row, and seemed to be very pleased that the Root organization was about to welcome a new "general".

"Sir, in that case, could you please return my "brother" to me first?"

Black Zetsu spoke respectfully to the "Shimura Danzo" in front of him.

"of course."

To this, the Dark Ninja World agreed readily.

Danzo Shimura seemed to have absolute confidence in himself, believing that this "Senju clan member" could not escape at all under his nose.

So he agreed to Black Zetsu's request very straightforwardly.

At that moment, he did not hesitate and directly threw Uzumaki Nagato, who was on his shoulder, towards Black Zetsu.

Seeing this, Black Zetsu's eyes were filled with joy. He didn't expect that he could deceive Shimura Danzo so easily.

Black Zetsu caught Uzumaki Nagato's body and then examined Nagato's body. Seeing that the pair of Rinnegan in Nagato's eye sockets were still intact, Black Zetsu finally felt relieved.

"Hahaha!!!"

"Thank you very much, Danzo-sama."

"See you later!"

After successfully obtaining Uzumaki Nagato, a large number of White Zetsu spores copied and split Uzumaki Nagato.

In an instant, more than a dozen identical Zetsu and Nagato appeared on the spot. These Zetsu gave a mocking smile to Shimura Danzo at the same time, then sank into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

"what!"

Seeing that Black Zetsu was about to run away, Shimura Danzo's face was full of shock and anger, and he immediately tried to stop him.

"Whizzing!!!"

He used wind escape technique repeatedly, and the powerful sharp blade cut through the ground, killing several Zetsu who were unable to escape in time. But without exception, these were all fakes disguised by White Zetsu spores.

But the real Zetsu had already disappeared with Uzumaki Nagato.

"Asshole!!!"

Danzo Shimura cursed angrily on the spot, looking extremely furious.

It seemed that he had never expected Black Zetsu to suddenly do this.

The cooked duck flew away?

"Danzo Shimura" vented his anger again on the spot, performing the "impotent rage" to the fullest, and then left slowly with his two subordinates.

All of this was seen by Bai Zetsu.

It turned out that the 703 White Zetsu clones did not leave, but stayed in place to observe and watch everything.

After confirming that Danzo Shimura had left, White Zetsu set out from underground to report to Black Zetsu.

In Black Zetsu's secret base, after learning the news from White Zetsu, he still did not relax at all.

He first checked Uzumaki Nagato's whole body, and only felt relieved after making sure that there were no backup plans left by the enemy.

That’s not all. Black Zetsu pried open Nagato’s eyelids and carefully examined the pair of Rinnegan, which showed no abnormalities, to ensure that there was no mistake.

There was nothing abnormal about Nagato's eyes, whether in appearance, aura, or the characteristics of the Rinnegan.

But for some reason, Hei looked at Nagato in front of him desperately, and always felt that there was something strange about him.

After some hesitation, Black Zetsu took some cells from Nagato's eyeballs and used special methods to compare them continuously.

Finally he confirmed that these were indeed Uchiha Madara's cells.

At this point, Black Zetsu thought he was just being too suspicious and stopped caring about it.

Instead, he planned the next step.

This time, he and Uzumaki Nagato were all exposed to Konoha's sight, which he never expected. In order to continue disguising himself and wait for the opportunity, he had to make new plans.

Looking at Nagato lying unconscious on the ground, Black Zetsu suddenly had a new idea.

Thinking of this, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Chapter 198: This pot is not too bad

"Danzo Shimura" and his two "Konoha Ninjas" went deep into the mountains and came to a hidden cave.

The three of them entered the depths of the cave and after confirming that there was no one around, "Shimura Danzo" lifted his transformation technique and revealed his true appearance.

The ugly and rigid middle-aged man instantly turned into an extraordinarily handsome young man.

The "Konoha Ninja" also took off the mask on his face, revealing the face behind the mask.

One had shark-like scars on his face, while the other had a bald, eyebrowless appearance.

"Kisame, Yuta."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Mizunoe Ryosuke said to the two people in front of him.

"Your Majesty, you are serious!"

"It is an honor for the two of us to go through fire and water for you, my Lord."

At that moment, Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuuta, who had taken off their masks, spoke in unison, their voices full of seriousness.

This situation says it all.

Everything was just a big drama directed and acted by Mizunoe Ryosuke. The two Konoha ninjas were pretended by Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuuta, and the Shimura Danzo just now was pretended by Mizunoe Ryosuke himself.

The purpose of doing this is undoubtedly to shift the blame to Konoha and Danzo. After all, as the "Dark of the Ninja World", Danzo has already taken so many responsibilities, and this one is not a big deal.

Everything started two days ago.

After obtaining information about Uzumaki Nagato from Hanzo of the Salamander, Mizunoe Ryosuke began to formulate this strategy of "passing off fake things as genuine" to deceive the public.

After much thought, Mizunoe Ryosuke finally felt that it was most appropriate to put the blame on Konoha, and after much thought, Ryosuke decided that Danzo would ultimately have to take the blame.

There are so many powerful people in the ninja world, but there are not many who can reasonably take the blame and not be suspected.

Danzo is the most suitable one.

Hence the previous drama.

In Ryosuke's plan, the first step requires Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuuta to disguise themselves as Konoha's ninjas and kidnap Uzumaki Nagato with lightning speed.

The strategy of "stirring up trouble" alarmed Black Zetsu and attracted him to the two of them.

Then, the two of them quickly came to the place where a reverse summoning formation had been set up in advance, sent Nagato to Ryosuke, and used the substitutes prepared in advance to attract Black Zetsu's attention, and tried their best to hold Black Zetsu back.

In order to successfully shift the blame and prevent Black Zetsu from noticing anything unusual, the two of them must not reveal their identities while holding Black Zetsu back.

This resulted in Kaguya Yuta's killer weapon, the Corpse Bone Vein, as well as Kisame's sword Samehada and his iconic shark-type water escape technique being unable to be used.

This forced the two who originally had the strength of "quasi-shadow" to only be able to perform at the level of elite jonin, barely holding back Black Zetsu.

The Yang Release Multiplication Technique that Kaguya Yuuta used before was a secret technique given to him by Ryosuke based on Kaguya Yuuta's own combat characteristics in order to enrich his combat power.

It just happened to come in handy at this critical moment, misleading Black Zetsu's vision.

Ryosuke also gave the two of them two ice kunai with the Three-Tails' chakra to help determine their location.
