Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Hmm? Minato is looking for someone named White Zetsu?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised to hear the news.

His first reaction was, White Zetsu? Who is this for?

Of course, Minato Namikaze's actions could not be hidden from the eyes of the Anbu.

As the Jinchuriki's lover, his every move is likely to have an impact on Kushina's emotions.

So Danzo has always arranged people to keep an eye on him.

Now Danzo is gone, but the people he arranged are still here.

So this news was placed on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk.

"Yes, according to the information overheard, this White Zetsu seems to be very good at transformation and earth escape techniques, and is also very good at intelligence gathering. Not long ago, he seemed to have transformed into a Konoha ninja and gave Minato and his team wrong information, causing them to return empty-handed."

The Anbu reported every detail.

"Minato is not the type of person who cares about every little thing. The fact that he has been tracking this case shows that he thinks this White Zetsu may pose a threat to Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and thought.

"Are there any news about this White Zetsu from the Anbu?"

"No, maybe there is one at the root."

"The roots..."

Upon hearing about the organization established by his old enemy, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt upset and nostalgic.

"By the way, the Root is currently under the management of Orochimaru, as I recall?"

"Yes, and this time the false intelligence is pointing to Orochimaru's disciple, Ito Toru."

"That's it..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was thoughtful.

As a doctor in the ninja world, his extensive knowledge covers more than just ninjutsu.

When it comes to this kind of secret struggle, his sense of smell is sharper than anyone else's.

"Since they don't want to announce it, let's keep this news secret for now and don't let too many people know about it."

"Yes!"

"Also, get Orochimaru back soon."

When talking about his disciple, a smile appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.

"I miss him so much now."

His gaze was far-reaching, looking in the direction of Konoha Forest.

But at this moment, Orochimaru's return journey was not particularly smooth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The violent explosion and the powerful sound of rushing water returned to calm after ringing.

Only a few disheveled and soaked Wuyin were left on the ground.

"Cough cough..."

"Is this the legendary Sannin?!"

"How can you be so strong!"

They raised their heads with difficulty and looked at the figure standing not far away.

And behind that figure, there were densely packed ninjas.

"I'm curious……"

Orochimaru looked down at the people lying on the ground unable to move.

Just like a snake staring at its prey.

He stretched out his tongue and then retracted it, tasting the unwillingness and fear in the air.

"Just a few of you? How dare you come to stop my troops?"

"I think you guys are too arrogant. You even said I was underestimated..."

"Kill if you want to! Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

One of the Mist Ninjas raised his neck, like a turtle with its shell stepped on.

"Haha...I admire your backbone."

There was a flash of coldness in Orochimaru's eyes.

He is not a good man.

Pick up the kunai and prepare to finish this guy off!

"Please wait! Lord Orochimaru!"

A figure suddenly appeared nearby, and seeing Orochimaru preparing to execute the Mist Ninja, he hurriedly called out.

"Hmm? Flying Thunder God Jutsu!"

Orochimaru stopped and looked at Minato with interest: "You are the one..."

He had a vague impression of the blond boy in front of him.

I just forgot the name for a moment.

"My sensei is Jiraiya, and I am Minato Namikaze."

The water introduced themselves: "The one next to you is my companion, Kushina."

"Hello! Lord Orochimaru!"

Kushina greeted quickly.

Because after she became a Jinchūriki, her mind was filled with gloom and despair, and she didn't know that she and Orochimaru had ever met.

"It's you."

Seeing the intimacy between Kushina and Namikaze Minato, Orochimaru nodded slightly and understood the relationship between them.

"So, what are you doing here? You can't be here just for these Mist Ninjas, right?"

"Of course not, we're here for other things."

"But before that... please, Lord Orochimaru, tie these people up and don't let them escape."

"Ok?"

Orochimaru didn't quite understand, but he nodded anyway: "Okay."

"Latent Shadow Snake Hand!"

Densely packed snakes rushed out from his hands and rushed towards the Mist Ninjas!

"Damn it! A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!"

One of the Mist Ninjas didn't know where he got the strength from, but he stood up tremblingly, while holding a kunai tightly in his hand!

"Oh? Are you thinking of resisting now?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Suffer to death!"

The Mist Ninja shouted loudly, then stabbed his companions several times quickly, piercing their hearts and making them feel excited!

? !

At this moment, not to mention Minato Namikaze, even Orochimaru was stunned.

"Don't even think about getting any information!"

The Mist Ninja raised a kunai, placed it on his neck, and looked at Orochimaru with contempt: "We won!"

"..."

Orochimaru's face looked grim, and his Shadow Snake Hand instantly trapped the Mist Ninja's entire body!

"Who do you think won?"

His tone was icy: "As expected of Kirigakure, you really show no mercy when it comes to killing your companions."

“More efficient than me.”

"hateful……"

Although this Mist Ninja was very good at killing his teammates, he was still a little hesitant when it came to killing himself.

It was this hesitation that gave Orochimaru the opportunity to subdue him.

He was tied up all over and couldn't move at all.

"Let me help you."

Suddenly another voice came from him.

"Um?!"

Minato's pupils shrank: "This voice is - White Zetsu!"

He had heard this strange, inhuman voice before!

Gulu gulu...

Next, in front of everyone's eyes, something like white foam suddenly appeared on the man's body, and then quickly formed an incomplete White Zetsu.

"Hello, nice to see you again~"

Bai Zetsu even had the time to greet them.

"What kind of monster is this!"

"Disgusting!"

"Why does it feel like it's parasitic on me?"

Seeing the appearance of White Zetsu, the Konoha ninja felt a chill in his heart.

“Ah!! Aaaaaaah!!”

The Mist Ninja that was possessed screamed out in fear.

"Who the hell are you! Get out of my body! Get out!"

"I'm here to help you! How rude of you to call me a ghost."

While absorbing the Mist Ninja's chakra, White Zetsu took out a dagger from his ninja tool bag and inserted it into his throat.

"You're welcome."

Gulu...Gulu...

The Mist Ninja's eyes widened in fear, and he fell to the ground and died!

And White Zetsu stood up from his body.

From beginning to end, Orochimaru did not stop it, but watched with interest.

"interesting."

He stuck out his tongue and then slowly retracted it.

"What species are you?"
