Naruto: Menma Exiting Infinite Tsukuyomi

Chapter 189: Black Zetsu: Impossible! It Makes No Sense!

"Your Bursting Bug was exposed. Is that really okay?"

Although all five of them had their own proficient ninjutsu and secret techniques, Chū's Bursting Bug was undoubtedly their greatest killing weapon.

The "Bursting Bug" was a micron-sized insect with the unbeatable characteristics of parasitizing the human body and absorbing chakra.

Even the "Kage" of the Five Great Ninja Villages, if caught off guard for a moment, would be parasitized by the "Bursting Bug," ultimately falling into a dilemma.

However, the "Bursting Bug" also had many restrictions and limitations. Once relevant intelligence was leaked by Amegakure, it would inevitably severely affect the threat level of the Xuanyuan Group.

"Don't worry. Those people don't know the activation conditions for the Bursting Bug, they don't even know its name."

Chū shook his head and smiled: "They probably think it's a ninjutsu that uses vision as a medium. They would never imagine that the Bursting Bug is actually an insect that parasitizes the lungs."

"Alright, alright. My brain isn't as good as yours anyway."

Miǎo scratched the back of his head, then showed a puzzled look: "But speaking of which, why didn't that harmless-looking kid with glasses get hit? I clearly saw him keeping his eyes open the whole time."

Although it was just a probe and a show, they hadn't deliberately held back at the time.

"It was probably his eyes and perception."

Yáo, who had been silent at the side, said in a muffled voice: "Just like a python with a cornea and extremely strong intuition."

By obstructing his vision, he ignored the effect of the strong light.

Then he used his sensory ability to dodge the "Bursting Bug" larvae.

"Truly a monster-like fellow."

Yàn sat by the campfire, saying with great interest: "Whether it's his temperament or his methods, the feeling he gives me is like that of a venomous snake that appears harmless on the surface but is actually deadly."

The other four couldn't help but nod in unison upon hearing this.

Although the mission process this time was full of twists and turns, and the target's strength was somewhat beyond their expectations,

the result was still very good.

Now, those so-called Akatsuki members should have all been fooled by the little glasses-wearing kid's acting.

This meant that their Xuanyuan Group's mission this time was also successfully completed.

But for some reason, they felt a sense of emptiness in their hearts.

"...Boss."

Miǎo was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Do you think... we'll have a chance to cooperate with the Land of Snow in the future?"

"Why do you suddenly ask?" Chū asked noncommittally.

"Can't help it."

Miǎo chuckled: "The Land of Snow just gives too much. This one job is worth a month of our usual work."

"What's more, with someone backing you, you don't have to panic."

That mysterious masked woman from the Land of Snow had previously proposed a long-term employment offer to them.

It was just that they were used to a lax lifestyle and didn't want to completely side with any one party.

But after this time,

the terrifying power generated by the collision of that monster and the extraterrestrial meteorite truly gave them a scare.

That power, far beyond human capability, simply refreshed their worldview.

It even made them doubt the profession of a ninja for a time.

"Do you think we have any other choice besides joining the Land of Snow?"

Chū supported his forehead, sighing at length: "I don't think we can stay aloof in these chaotic times, nor do I believe the Land of Snow will allow these secrets to be known by outsiders."

The mission the Land of Snow gave them seemed simple and crude, but the five of them had more or less figured out some details.

The Akatsuki and Amegakure, with their terrifying hidden strength, and the Land of Snow, with its extreme mystery and unknown power.

Both of these are small countries.

But the strength hidden behind them is probably not necessarily weaker than the Five Great Nations.

This ninja world... is probably going to see a change of regime in the future.

The Four Great Nations might not even be the true protagonists in this transformation.

...

Meanwhile, the matter of the extraterrestrial meteorite descending on Amegakure was transmitted back to various forces by those with and without intention.

Many people saw the giant meteorite falling from the sky; at the very least, they saw a streak of light cut across the night sky.

However, no one suspected this was the result of some ninjutsu.

"Was that a meteor?"

"No, with that volume, it's not a meteor, is it?!"

"The direction this meteorite is falling... is it the Land of Fire? No, it's Amegakure in the Land of Rain?!"

"If they're hit by this one meteorite, then the entire Amegakure, and even the Land of Rain, will probably..."

Most people had already sentenced Amegakure to death.

But the result was unexpected.

-- Under the descent of such a terrifying meteorite, Amegakure actually did not suffer much loss.

This was what made more people pay attention, and spies from various forces also began to try and infiltrate Amegakure.

But Amegakure was like a terrifying, bottomless abyss; all infiltrating spies directly vanished without a trace or a sound.

This made more forces adopt a more cautious and vigilant attitude towards Amegakure.

"That old fellow Hanzō... is he still that strong now?"

However, compared to the uninformed natives of the ninja world,

the one who should be more flustered right now was Black Zetsu.

Inside a cave in the Land of Rain.

"The moon's gaze... a person who can control meteorites?"

The entirely pitch-black Black Zetsu muttered continuously, looking very anxious and uneasy.

How is that possible?!

Why would Hamura's lineage on the moon pay attention to the ninja world?

They even used means of repulsion and attraction to accurately drop a meteorite on Amegakure.

"Impossible! It makes no sense at all!"

A human-like look of annoyance and gloom appeared on Black Zetsu's dark face.

If those guys were determined to target the Akatsuki,

just relying on Nagato, who had healed his leg injuries and life force deficit, was far from enough to protect the Akatsuki and the Gedō Mazō.

If the Gedō Mazō was taken back by Hamura's lineage, then Mother would truly have no hope of breaking free from the seal.

"No! Absolutely not allowed!"

Black Zetsu stopped his pacing, a look of determination on his face: "The current Akatsuki is too weak, they can't protect the Gedō Mazō at all. I must find a way to strengthen the Akatsuki's power."

At a time like this, there was simply no time to consider whether the Akatsuki and Nagato would slip from his grasp.

Just as Black Zetsu was considering how to strengthen the Akatsuki members' power,

Whoosh!!

A distorted vortex suddenly appeared in the air of the cave.

Subsequently, Obito walked out from inside, looking weary.

"Hmm?"

Looking at Obito's appearance, Black Zetsu was somewhat surprised: "Madara, what happened to you?"

Hearing this, a self-deprecating look appeared on Obito's face: "That fellow Nagato is starting to disobey. With my current strength, it's very difficult to suppress him."

With that, Obito's entire demeanor became downcast.

Clearly, he had just had a confrontation with Nagato.

Unfortunately, he didn't gain any advantage, which was a considerable blow to them.

"So, you want to increase your own strength?"

Black Zetsu was first stunned, then suppressed the excitement in his heart, his expression feigning calmness: "Nagato's strength is too great now. If this continues, our plan will probably be greatly affected."

"I suggest you take back what belongs to you from Hatake Kakashi."
