I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

After the meeting, Hyuga Hiashi seemed to look at Kitahara Kaede with something in mind but then shook his head and left.

Naruto was also taken away by Jiraiya.

"Boom-"

A new cup of tea appeared on Kitahara Kaede's table.

The tea stems of this year's new tea have stood up all at once.

According to common belief, standing tea stems upright is a sign of good luck.

"Fifth Hokage, you've worked too hard," said the ANBU member who was making tea.

This member of the ANBU was tall and wore a tanuki mask. His identity was clear: he was Yamato.

He participated in the Wood Release experiment with Kitahara Kaede, was rescued by Kakashi, and then joined the Hokage's Anbu.

He was also Kitahara Kaede's Wood Release teacher, who taught him the Three Rooms and One Living Room Technique.

"Is this also using Wood Release?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

Yamato gave him a new wooden cup.

"Yes." Yamato nodded.

“But I’m making a fool of myself; your Wood Release techniques have long surpassed mine,” Yamato said. “And I can only use Wood Release techniques that are helpful for daily life and production.”

Yamato seemed slightly down.

This is normal.

They both came from the same laboratory, but while others' Wood Release was used to fight the One-Tailed Beast, Yamato's Wood Release could only be used to build houses.

How could the differences between them be small?

So this is... the top student and the bottom student, right?

"..." Kitahara Kaede. "I don't think there's a distinction between strong and weak ways of using ninjutsu."

"The important thing is that it can be put to use."

Kitahara Kaede took a light sip of tea. "And even a simple wooden cup like this makes the tea taste even better."

"You're still the same." Yamato removed his mask and smiled.

"Speaking of which, you asked me to search for Zetsu from the Akatsuki."

"I didn't catch any alive."

“However,” Yamato said as if remembering something, “I thought he was also from Akatsuki, but he was so easily defeated.”

“White Zetsu is inherently fragile,” Kitahara Kaede said.

“Then please follow me,” Yamato said. “I will take you there.”

"Ah."

···········

And the other side.

[Today's share observation by Kitahara Kaede? (^_-) The small group is closed; please log in again tomorrow.]

With the system notification, Obito retrieved his soul from the small group.

He then discovered that there was a White Zetsu next to him.

"Ha, you're alive!"

White Zetsu said that he seemed to be quite close to Obito.

"..." Obito.

After being rescued by Madara Uchiha, Obito became Madara's puppet.

Then, in order to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan, he received the legacy of Uchiha Madara, who had passed away due to his lifespan.

This legacy includes Madara Uchiha's Uchiha clan's flame fan.

The Flame Fan can deflect ninjutsu.

Then there's Nagato Uzumaki, whom Madara Uchiha specially nurtured and awaited in the future to revive him.

However, as we see now, Nagato has been taken away by Konoha.

Next in line for Madara Uchiha's assets was... White Zetsu.

There were many, many White Zetsu, and one of them fused with him. It was because of this White Zetsu that his body was completely repaired.

Therefore, in order to commemorate the other party, when Obito infiltrated the Akatsuki organization, he used the personality of this White Zetsu and took the alias Tobi.

But now that the Akatsuki organization has been taken over by Konoha, there's no need for it anymore.

and so……

Madara's Eye of the Moon project has fallen through.

However... given the current situation, it's not completely hopeless.

Because besides leaving behind these possessions, Madara also left behind a Zetsu that imbued him with his will.

· ···Request flowers··· ······

That one was half white and half black.

His name is Black Zetsu.

They were specifically monitoring him.

Obito felt he was being controlled by Madara, so if he showed complete rebellion, Black Zetsu would definitely eliminate him.

Now that Nagato is in Konoha, what will Madara Uchiha, representing Black Zetsu, think about doing?

Obito discovered that Kuro was definitely not here.

but.

“Let’s leave here first,” Obito said.

"Then do me a favor."

"uh-huh!?"

The first thing the White Zetsu saw when they opened their eyes was Obito, so they naturally recognized him as their master.

In addition, half of Obito's body is composed of White Zetsu, so he is quite obedient.

0 ......... 0

"How can I help you?" the white Zetsu asked.

"I'll take off my clothes in a bit," Obito said. "Can you take a look?"

"……%" "?" ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

The white Zetsu was stunned.

"I never imagined that you, Obito, would have this kind of interest!" White Zetsu seemed quite surprised.

"Although it's already surprising that your body accepted our White Zetsu, the result is..."

"As expected, we underestimated you."

“…”? ? ? Obito was stunned for a moment.

“I need you to take a look at the marks on my body,” Obito said. “It seems that Minato Namikaze put the Flying Thunder God Mark on me, and I need to remove it.”

"Oh."

"So that's what it is." Bai Jue responded, seemingly having lost interest.

"???" Obito felt that these White Zetsu were not very useful. He also wondered why Madara made so many White Zetsu.

They are either very noisy or prone to overthinking.

Moreover, they are extremely fragile. Any Jonin could easily kill them.

And the other side.

Yamato had brought Kitahara Kaede to the White Zetsu corpse that had been discovered.

The White Zetsu's body was placed at the edge of the Forest of Death, and Yamato had arranged for ANBU to guard it. Upon seeing Yamato, the ANBU shouted "Captain!" and then obediently left.

“Then, come this way,” Yamato said.

But Kitahara Kaede didn't move.

P.S.: I looked up some pictures of Yukidouji... Damn, he really is just like Black Zetsu.

Chapter 130 The Appearance of Black Zetsu, Kaguya's Unofficial History, The Child-Making Arc! (Please auto-read and subscribe to the full chapter)

Upon arriving at the Forest of Death, Yamato walked ahead.

A body that appears to be entirely white and genderless, with a male upper body, lies on the ground.

His eyes were wide open, as if he had died with his eyes open in disbelief.

This is a White Zetsu.

As we know from the original work, White Zetsu are products created when ordinary natives from the Kaguya era were entangled and absorbed by the Divine Tree.

After the Sage of Six Paths' battle with Kaguya, he did not deal with these White Zetsu. Instead, they were obtained by Madara Uchiha, who then added Wood Release to them, eventually turning them into White Zetsu who could use Wood Release.

Then it was driven by Obito.

The number of White Zetsu has reached 100,000!

However, these White Zetsu have very low combat power.

Even though he knows Wood Release, he can't even build a three-bedroom apartment.

However, they also have their merits. First, because the White Zetsu have the Wood Release ability, they can infiltrate various places and walk on both the ground and underground.

It can serve as a universal camera.

At the same time, their chakra is also unique. In the original work, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, they could directly imitate other ninjas, transform into the appearance of other ninjas, and also use techniques that only the opponent had.

It's so realistic it could fool anyone!

Although these abilities are quite good, their combat strength is still low.

and so.

The role of White Zetsu is not to employ a swarm of fragile units, but rather to become excellent living sacrifices.

If ordinary offerings could allow past ninjas to unleash 3-4 levels of their peak strength, then using White Zetsu as offerings now would allow them to reach 7-8 levels of strength.

It directly enhances the strength of the reanimated form.

Then... there's no need for the reanimated Jonin to be used as Chunin; the reanimated Chunin will be placed together with the Genin.

Konoha's fighting strength has increased.

Simultaneously.

If you want to use a human wave tactic, you can use Edo Tensei to summon Chunin or higher-ranking ninjas from other ninja villages.

If we put together some resources, we could probably manage to gather 50,000 to 60,000 Chunin and 30,000 to 40,000 Jonin.

It's even possible to piece together hundreds of Kage-level powerhouses.

These powerful beings are all resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation... yet they cannot die even when attacked, making them far more durable than White Zetsu.

so.

Acquiring a White Zetsu is indeed a great fortune.

but.

When Yamato called for Kitahara Kaede to move forward, Kitahara Kaede did not go.

"?!?" Yamato was stunned for a moment.

"Lord Kitahara Kaede!?"

"Lord Godaime?"

Yamato noticed that Kitahara Kaede was standing 6 meters away from him.
