Chapter 136 The White Zetsu Rebellion
Chapter 136 The White Zetsu Rebellion
Deep underground in the Land of Water, there is an ultra-modern biological laboratory.
Without warning, space distorted, and Uchiha Mitsunori suddenly appeared inside the laboratory.
He casually tossed 10 white Zetsu into the pre-designed metal room.
Seeing Tsunade and Orochimaru, he vented his anger, "I captured ten more White Zetsu! They appeared in the palace's back garden, less than a hundred meters from Kikyo and Bai Qi's cradle. This is too dangerous. The White Zetsu's stealth abilities are becoming more and more perfect... They can even infiltrate living people, transform into other people's appearances, and even have chakra fluctuations!"
Orochimaru's expression turned serious for the first time: "This level of disguise is enough to fool most reconnaissance methods... It is indeed a very useful tool for infiltration."
Uchiha Mitsunori rubbed his temples: "Currently, only my Mangekyou Sharingan, the Eye of God, can detect them. But I can't keep the Mangekyou Sharingan active all day long; we must design a sustainable, large-scale detection method!"
Silence fell over the laboratory upon hearing this request.
Tsunade pondered for a moment, then said with some difficulty, "White Zetsu have Hashirama cells... Unless our people also receive Hashirama cells transplanted... they can gain sensory abilities... but the mortality rate from injecting Hashirama cells... remains extremely high..."
Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with knowledge: "The White Zetsu's disguise and parasitism are essentially highly sophisticated Yang Release chakra transformation techniques. However, natural energy surpasses Yang Release chakra. Therefore, whether it's sensing or forcibly extracting it... natural energy can be used to resolve the issue... it's just that none of us know Sage Mode..."
Uchiha Mitsunaga pointed to the White Zetsu in the container and said, "Could we extract the White Zetsu's chakra and add it to the warning barrier? Like installing a specific 'White Zetsu chakra' sensor switch on the warning barrier?"
A single word awakens one from a dream!
Tsunade slammed her hand on the table: "That's right! We don't need to fully understand them, we just need to be able to recognize them! Just like the immune system recognizes specific viruses! Treat their unique chakra characteristics as a kind of 'antigen'!"
Orochimaru also let out a low laugh: "Hehehe... This idea is indeed feasible... and we have... dozens of White Zetsu... that we can use for experiments."
Once the two masters determined their direction, their efficiency was astonishing.
They quickly devised a completely new early warning barrier system.
A short while later, the new barrier core was deployed in the underground laboratory.
Buzz—!! Buzz—!! Buzz—!!
A sharp, piercing alarm sounded instantly at a specific frequency.
A clear red light shone on the barrier wall, accurately marking the location and number of intruders!
The barrier leader excitedly reported, "It's a success! Even without Your Majesty using your eye technique, the barrier itself can detect them!"
Looking at the results of the experiment, Uchiha Mitsunori, Orochimaru, and Tsunade finally showed a hint of satisfaction on their faces.
Uchiha Mitsunori stroked his chin and said, "The Land of Water is an island nation, composed of 12 islands, so it's impossible to deploy large-scale barriers everywhere. Could we design a smaller, lower-powered early warning device?"
Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with wisdom: "Yes, as long as we reduce the range and detection frequency, we can reduce chakra consumption."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Mitsunori nodded in satisfaction: "Orochimaru's idea is excellent. Produce a feasible plan and prototype as soon as possible. We need to lay out an invisible sensory network on the border so that these white ghosts... will never be able to infiltrate the Land of Water again."
Orochimaru assessed the situation and said, "Give me three days, and I can build fifty devices."
Uchiha Mitsumine smiled slightly: "Then I'll have to trouble Orochimaru."
Three days later, fifty "White Zetsu sensors" were delivered to the Uchiha Sanfeng.
He picked up a finished product to test it, and the warning range was reduced to ten kilometers.
However, inputting the chakra level of a Chunin is enough to keep the system running for a day.
Upon seeing this, he immediately summoned Minato Namikaze.
Soon, the golden flash Minato Namikaze arrived at the palace.
Uchiha Mitsunaga pointed to the white humanoid creature beside him and said, "I call this white creature 'White Zetsu.' They have extremely strong stealth capabilities, can parasitize and lurk inside living people, and can perfectly simulate the host's vital signs and chakra fluctuations."
Minato Namikaze's expression turned extremely grim, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem: "Parasite... and can be perfectly simulated... This means... we may not be able to trust... anyone around us."
Uchiha Mitsunori nodded, then picked up a "White Zetsu sensor" and activated it. The device immediately emitted a piercing alarm and pointed to the location of the White Zetsu.
He calmly said, "This is the 'White Zetsu Sensor' developed by Tsunade and Orochimaru. It can sense the unique chakra of White Zetsu and issue warnings. I need you to deliver them to the border and the garrison command posts of major cities as quickly as possible."
Minato Namikaze immediately nodded: "I understand, Your Highness. I guarantee it will be delivered as quickly as possible!"
"Wait, Minato. The base or city you delivered the sensor to may have been infiltrated, and... some commanders or important personnel may have been parasitized by White Zetsu."
Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze's heart sank, and a chill ran down his spine.
He asked cautiously, "What should we do with those who have already been parasitized?"
Uchiha Mitsunori said without changing his expression, "Natural energy is the only known power that can effectively suppress or even force out this parasite! And you are a contractor of Mount Myōboku, so you can summon the toads of Mount Myōboku."
Minato Namikaze suddenly realized, his eyes sharpening: "You mean...?"
Uchiha Mitsunori nodded slightly: "If you discover anyone has been parasitized during the mission, I want you to summon the toads of Mount Myōboku! Use their natural energy to force the parasitized White Zetsu out of their bodies. So this mission can only be entrusted to you."
Minato Namikaze took a deep breath and solemnly replied, "I understand, Daimyo! I will act prudently and will never betray your trust."
Uchiha Mitsunori took out a storage scroll and a document from his robes and placed them steadily on the table.
"Okay! Be careful! The sensors and coordinates are here."
Minato Namikaze stepped forward and took the storage scroll and documents with both hands.
He quickly glanced at the document, bowed respectfully, and then suddenly disappeared.
