Chapter 121: Running Away!
Senju Tsuru and Uchiha Sa stood facing each other, several meters apart.
"So fast..."
Senju Tsuru forced a composed expression, her gaze calmly meeting Uchiha Sa's crimson Sharingan.
But only he knew that his heart was pounding like a drum, each beat making his chest feel tight.
The woman before me is the only female head of the Uchiha clan and is recognized as the fastest in the ninja world.
Rumor has it that her teleportation technique is very fast.
Even the Hyuga clan leader was unable to contend with it back then.
Black Zetsu, however, remained unusually calm, even displaying a somewhat nonchalant scrutiny.
His gaze, bypassing Senju Crane's senses, landed on Uchiha Sa.
"Is this the reincarnation of Indra in this generation? Each Indra reincarnation is worse than the last..."
Black Zetsu muttered to himself.
Although this woman is known as the fastest ninja in the world, she is only of average level among the geniuses that Black Zetsu has seen.
"You're from the Hatake clan, right?"
Uchiha Sa held a katana, the blade pointing diagonally at the ground, its cold gleam reflecting in her sharp eyes.
Her Sharingan was fixed on Senju Tsuru, her tone devoid of any warmth, carrying an undeniable sense of oppression:
"What is your purpose in coming here?"
"Will the Hatake clan also participate in the war?"
"Tell me, and I'll give you a quick death."
Uchiha Sa said coldly.
Black Zetsu took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Tsuru, do you believe me?"
Thousand-handed Crane did not hesitate at all!
"Of course I believe it! The immortal has given me a second life!"
"Senju Tsuru said firmly."
This trust was pure and unwavering, without the slightest hesitation.
Black Zetsu nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, and continued, "Then I will take over your body, and your consciousness will fall into a deep sleep."
Don't worry, I won't hurt you; I'll just handle the situation for you.
"good!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Senju Tsuru agreed immediately.
(Warning: There's a scary picture ahead.)
He closed his eyes, surrendering all control of his body to Black Zetsu, his consciousness sinking into the deep sea as he gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Black Zetsu's consciousness completely took over the body. He slowly opened his eyes, and the eyes that originally belonged to Senju Tsuru were now filled with darkness!
Black patterns appeared on the Thousand-Handed Crane's body, and it exuded a black aura!
His eyes turned completely black, which looked rather eerie.
It was as if he was possessed by a ghost.
Black Zetsu instantly understood everything.
The great immortal's intentions were already hidden in those ambiguous instructions.
If you want Senju Tsuru to lose, you don't need to send yourself; just leave her alone.
Given Senju Tsuru's strength, she would have no chance of survival against someone like Uchiha Sa.
The great immortal sent him here, clearly intending for him to protect Thousand-Handed Crane and help him win this duel.
However, the immortal was too proud to say it outright, so he set the rule that "one cannot escape using the mayfly technique, but can provide appropriate assistance."
Through their time together, Black Zetsu had clearly seen that Senju Tsuru was extremely respectful to the Grand Sage of Six Paths, a quality that was worthy of support.
If people who respect the Sage of Six Paths so much do not meet a good end, then it can only be that Heaven is not on their side.
Having made up his mind, Black Zetsu no longer hesitated.
While the Great Sage's rules restrict the use of mayfly techniques and sage arts, they allow for additional assistance to Thousand-Handed Crane in "extraordinary times."
The current standoff is undoubtedly a critical moment.
"Thousand-Handed Crane" spoke slowly.
This time, however, it was replaced by a deep and hoarse voice, completely different from Senju Tsuru's original voice, carrying a chilling aura.
"Alright, then next... let's change players."
Uchiha Sa's brows furrowed suddenly, and her scarlet Sharingan narrowed into a thin slit.
The Thousand-Handed Crane before them was shrouded in a thick, inky black mist. As the mist churned, it exuded a chilling, bone-chilling aura, making the person's demeanor strange and terrifying, a stark contrast to their earlier panicked escape.
"Could it really be some kind of unorthodox or heretical practice?"
Uchiha Sa's heartstrings tightened suddenly, and a strange sense of crisis crept into her heart.
"Oh my god, that scared me to death!"
Looking at Senju Tsuru's eerie appearance, Uchiha Sa couldn't help but blurt out, but there was no fear in her voice.
Who is she? She is the infamous female head of the Uchiha clan, who is so famous in the ninja world that even the Sage of Six Paths dared to flirt with her!
Let alone the eerie appearance of this black mist-shrouded creature, even if it were a real ghost appearing in the world, or even if the Sage of Six Paths himself stood in front of her, Uchiha Sa would dare to draw her sword and confront him head-on!
In the blink of an eye
Uchiha Sa suppressed all her surprise, slowly raised the katana in her hand, and pointed the cold blade directly at the brow of the Senju Tsuru controlled by Black Zetsu, her Sharingan spinning rapidly.
At this tense moment, Black Zetsu suddenly took control of Senju Crane's body!
"There were too many of us, so I couldn't run away. Now I'm kneeling down before you, please spare my life!"
Black Zetsu begged for mercy with a tearful face.
Upon hearing this, the Uchiha pursuers who had surrounded them instantly froze.
After looking at each other in bewilderment, they burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! This kid's been putting on an act for ages, turns out he's just a coward who's afraid of dying!"
"That's hilarious! I thought he had some amazing trump card, but he just knelt down and begged for mercy!"
Uchiha Sa's lips twitched violently, her face full of speechlessness and astonishment.
I thought it was big, but it really is big.
However, Uchiha Sa remained calm and wary; she wasn't so easily fooled.
Just as everyone was amused by the sudden plea for mercy, their guard was lowered and they lost all vigilance.
Black Zetsu's Senju Crane suddenly rolled its eyes, and a cunning and evil smile appeared on its lips.
Without any warning, he suddenly raised his hand and threw out a smoke bomb that he had prepared beforehand!
"puff--!"
A thick cloud of white smoke exploded, instantly engulfing the figure of the Thousand-Handed Crane and obscuring everyone's view.
Taking advantage of the moment when the pursuers were too busy to react, they seized the opportunity.
Black Zetsu instantly and accurately sensed the weak point in the encirclement, and controlled the Thousand Hand Crane's body to burst out with extreme speed, rushing straight towards the gap like an arrow released from a bow!
Who is Black Zetsu?
It's the epitome of utter despicable behavior!
So many people, plus the clan leader, the Feathered Robe Clan also arrived immediately.
A direct confrontation is definitely not an option.
So the only option is to run away!

Mount Myoki
Kaguya and Manji suddenly locked eyes.
Wanci's eyes were deep and clear, as if they contained a deep pool, both clear and profound.
Kaguya's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and she hurriedly turned her face away to avoid the other person's gaze.
"Wan Ci, when will it come back?"
Kaguya clenched her sleeves and spoke softly, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible unease.
"Um...."
Wan Ci's expression remained cold and aloof, his aura keeping people at a distance. His tone was flat and unwavering: "I'm afraid it will take some time."
Having said that, Manji raised his eyes to look at Kaguya, his gaze slightly darkening, carrying a symbolic warning, and said, word by word:
"You should stay at Mount Myōboku during this time, reside at my Chōsei Peak, and do not entertain any improper thoughts."
In truth, Wanci had absolutely no qualms about it.
His own killing intent perception hadn't stirred for hundreds of years!
Because no one can threaten him.
He was not afraid in the slightest that Kaguya might have thoughts of resurrection or even a secret backlash; this warning was merely a casual, symbolic reminder.
Kaguya lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and nodded obediently, saying softly, "Mmm... I understand."
