The good things Mikoto discovered were naturally White Zetsu!
And they were White Zetsu in swarms!
Ever since the battle in Amegakure, it had become difficult for her and Uchiha Fucheng to find stray White Zetsu wandering in the Ninja World.
To Mikoto, a White Zetsu was like a Pokémon encountering a Poké Ball.
Every stray White Zetsu was the treasure Mikoto wanted most. None other.
Since a large-scale White Zetsu presence had been discovered this time, Uchiha Fucheng absolutely had to go all out. First, gather the manpower to bring these White Zetsu into the fold.
In the eastern outskirts of Konoha Village, at a desolate forest training ground.
Nearly a hundred White Zetsu were rapidly performing Earth Release, expanding the underground space.
They were the "New White Zetsu" troops most recently dispatched to Konoha Village.
They were the additional results of Black Zetsu expanding White Zetsu production while searching for Nagato.
Back then, to find the Rinnegan, Black Zetsu had invested all his resources, going full throttle to expand White Zetsu production.
He had even temporarily cut off the Ten-Tails life force supply to Uchiha Madara, and the number of White Zetsu increased rapidly from a few dozen to over a thousand in a very short time.
"We don't need to eat, so why build such a large space? Why build a dining room and dining tables?"
A strange question from one White Zetsu triggered various strange answers from many others.
"Because Lord Madara has a dining table."
"We can pretend to eat."
"I think we should build a restroom."
"Does anyone here know how to take a dump?"
"Should we go to Konoha Village and steal some things to eat?"
The noisy sounds were endless; the White Zetsu were silly, even a bit like Minions.
The fact that these White Zetsu were so noisy was likely a major reason why Black Zetsu sent them out on a large scale.
If a thousand White Zetsu all said "Hello" at once, it could annoy Black Zetsu to death.
White Zetsu don't need to eat or poop.
They only need to absorb energy from plants to survive.
Otherwise, the underground base of Black Zetsu and Uchiha Madara would have been filled to the brim with poop by this group of white guys.
However, since the White Zetsu had been produced, Black Zetsu couldn't leave them idle and wasted.
The Ninja World was so big, and both Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu wanted to go "explore," which led to the "Super Large-Scale White Zetsu" infiltration plan.
Besides the Five Great Ninja Villages, even small and medium-sized countries like the Land of Hot Springs, the Land of Grass, the Land of Iron, and the Land of Fields had been infiltrated by many White Zetsu.
And as the head of the major NinjaVillages, Konoha Village was something Black Zetsu valued quite highly.
Over a hundred White Zetsu was already comparable to the resident stock of White Zetsu in Uchiha Madara's base.
If Mikoto hadn't upgraded her large-range electromagnetic wave reconnaissance, she probably wouldn't have been able to find this new, elusive base of White Zetsu in such a desolate wilderness.
"Is it here?" Uchiha Fucheng asked softly.
Mikoto beamed with joy and nodded happily, "It's right below."
Having confirmed the location, the next step depended on the methods of the Misaka Sisters.
It wasn't that Uchiha Fucheng and Mikoto were being lazy, but rather that as soon as the two of them made a move, the White Zetsu, who were adept at fleeing, would likely burrow underground and escape.
Just think about it: if over a hundred White Zetsu scattered and fled, even if ten more Uchiha Fucheng came, they probably wouldn't be able to catch them all.
But this time, Mikoto had gathered more than twenty Misaka Sisters.
Her plan was [Infiltration, Chaos, Melee]!
Simply put, it was a gameplay style similar to "Goose Goose Duck".
In the underground space, the White Zetsu responsible for building the base were equivalent to the "good guys" side in "Goose Goose Duck".
They wouldn't attack others randomly; in their eyes, even if they discovered a strange "White Zetsu," they would only interrogate and speculate.
And the Misaka Sisters, who had transformed into the appearance of White Zetsu, were the "duck" side in the "Goose Goose Duck" game.
They disguised themselves as geese and infiltrated the base specifically to cause destruction and kill the geese.
The massive underground base and the numerous White Zetsu, although they had the home-field advantage, could be wantonly ambushed by the Misaka Sisters as long as they didn't expose themselves, allowing them to hide among the White Zetsu.
For the rest, they just needed to tie up the White Zetsu and send them to Mikoto, and she could transform more "ducks" on the spot.
Repeating this, the Misaka Sisters would constantly increase in number until they could fully control the underground base.
Looking at this model, the victory of the Misaka Sisters was already within reach before the battle had even started.
"Hel~lo!" A Misaka Sister, disguised as a White Zetsu, shouted in a weird tone.
She wasn't sneaky at all; instead, she greeted the White Zetsu next to her in a carefree manner.
Her neurotic behavior actually made the White Zetsu feel a sense of familiarity.
"Hey! Where did you go? We need manpower to expand the space here; come over and help."
The enthusiastic White Zetsu greeted the Misaka Sister to enter the second underground level and use Earth ReleaseNinjutsu together to expand the space.
He didn't notice the Misaka Sister behind him take out a syringe the thickness of an arm and stab it in with force.
"Go! You!"
As the medicine was injected, the enthusiastic White Zetsu didn't make a sound and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
This was a super-powerful paralytic cell agent, which was also an excellent weapon Uchiha Fucheng had tested while capturing White Zetsu.
This fallen White Zetsu watched helplessly as the Misaka Sister picked him up by one leg and went directly from the underground space back to the surface.
Aba! Aba ba!
The language system was also paralyzed, preventing the White Zetsu from making a sound.
From the perspective of the White Zetsu, a female Ninja from Konoha Village with a very sneaky vibe walked up to him. She reached out and tapped his forehead, causing him to lose consciousness completely.
The "White Zetsu" opened its eyes again.
Although the paralytic agent was still taking effect, the face of the male White Zetsu from just before had already turned into the appearance of Mikoto.
Misaka Sister 0033, successfully awakened!
The conversion process of the White Zetsu was very smooth. Although after the assimilation was completed, they still had to wait for the paralysis from the medicine to wear off.
But from kidnapping the White Zetsu to converting the White Zetsu, they hadn't encountered any trouble at all.
"Keep it up!"
A happy Mikoto waved her fist at the Misaka Sister, watching the other party infiltrate underground again with encouragement.
She dragged the newly converted Misaka Sister back to Uchiha Fucheng's side.
"At this rate, we should be able to complete the full replacement of these White Zetsu within five hours."
Mikoto was as happy as if she had dug up a treasure.
This kind of conversion process, like a chicken thief, gave Mikoto a feeling of being both nervous and excited.
Some Misaka Sisters were ambushing lone White Zetsu with clubs.
Other Misaka Sisters were gathered in groups of two or three, forming "gang crimes."
On the outer edge of the underground base, in a cave under construction, two Misaka Sisters encountered a group of six not-so-bright White Zetsu.
These six White Zetsu seemed to have worked together for a long time and were familiar with each other. Suddenly seeing two strange White Zetsu among them, they immediately started chattering noisily.
"That's not right, that's not right, why are there two more?"
"Having more isn't good. If the lead White Zetsu comes over later and doesn't acknowledge our workload, and adds more work for us, what then?"
The Misaka Sisters were not panicked at all; instead, they spoke first, "Oh my, who would increase our work? I am the highest supervisor here; the lead White Zetsu can't control us."
The few White Zetsu were stunned.
They hadn't expected this strange White Zetsu beside them to be so powerful.
One of the White Zetsu was even praising in admiration, "Are you really the supervisor here? Do the White Zetsu holding the blueprints listen to you too? How about we decide how much work to do ourselves and not listen to them?"
This sentence really hit the mark.
A White Zetsu immediately stopped the Earth ReleaseNinjutsu for laying the ground and scratched his head happily.
"We are all White Zetsu, why do they have to listen to you?"
The Misaka Sister was secretly happy and continued to fool the other party.
"I am the [General White Zetsu]. If they don't listen to my orders, I'll catch them all and spank them."
"Look, what is this in my hand?" The Misaka Sister proudly raised her right hand.
The few White Zetsu looked surprised; they seemed not to understand why the [General White Zetsu] had such great authority and could punish other White Zetsu.
They saw a beautiful-looking special token made of Wood Release appear in the Misaka Sister's hand.
On the token, there was a big [General] character, and below it was a line of small text, "Plain White Banner · General White Zetsu."
"What is this?" the group of White Zetsu asked curiously.
"Idiots, this is the identity waist tag for commanding the White Zetsu here. You are all [White Zetsu], the ones with the blueprints are [Lead White Zetsu], and I am the [General White Zetsu]."
We don't know if this Misaka Sister had ever heard Uchiha Fucheng tell the full story of Journey to the West.
Her set of rhetoric was spoken with incomparable confidence.
"Wow!" The group of White Zetsu was suddenly confused.
Where had they ever seen this before?
"We are all White Zetsu, but you are the [General White Zetsu]; this is too amazing."
The Misaka Sister was smug, put her hands on her hips, and said, "It's good that you know it's amazing. From now on, you don't have to work anymore. Come with me to assign work to other White Zetsu. From now on, you are the elite soldiers of my [General White Zetsu] special task force!"
The six White Zetsu were a bit confused, but another Misaka Sister was definitely quick-witted.
She immediately transformed into "Teacher Yu," followed the words of the [General White Zetsu], and stepped out to support her.
"Lord General White Zetsu, what you said is so right! Mambo~, without our supervision, the White Zetsu are all lazy guys who don't work, hehehehe."
While speaking, she had already become a small team leader. She also casually pulled and pushed the other six White Zetsu into the team.
A group of White Zetsu were accustomed to collective blind obedience.
Once a character giving orders appeared, they immediately obediently followed the other party.
These two "White Zetsu" sisters were definitely sharp-witted.
Seeing that these White Zetsu were compliant and obedient, they directly took the White Zetsu and ran to a larger construction site. This time, there was no need for the two Misaka Sisters to speak at all; the six White Zetsu who were pushed to the front stood out themselves and started shouting actively.
"Lord [General White Zetsu] has arrived!"
"Assemble, assemble, everyone come over, Lord [General White Zetsu] is giving instructions."
"I'm talking to you, why are you drilling into the soil yourself when you're using Earth Release?"
It was a mess, making the dozen or so White Zetsu in this space at a loss.
"Who are you?"
"What is [General White Zetsu]?"
At this moment, it was naturally the time for Misaka Sister [General Drill Wind]—ah no! It was time for [General White Zetsu] to appear.
She shook the waist tag in her hand extremely smugly; the [General] character was bigger than her palm.
"Listen up! What are you called? You are all called White Zetsu. Then what am I called? Look closely, I am called [General White Zetsu]. Stand up straight for me. I am here to review your construction progress. Did you dig the cave crooked?"
The group of White Zetsu was a bit strange.
Clearly, the White Zetsu commanding them had just left with the blueprints, so why did another [General White Zetsu] who managed them come?
Some stubborn White Zetsu showed a little expression of not being very obedient.
"It's already done like this, I'm not changing it. Digging soil and making walls, it's really troublesome."
"Oh ho? A natural-born construction worker, and you're complaining!"
The two Misaka Sisters cooperated tacitly, exchanged glances, and were about to use this "complaining White Zetsu" as an example.
"You guy, you definitely have a problem, take him down!"
The six White Zetsu who had just followed them seemed to have actively divided their camp and pounced on the complaining White Zetsu happily, "Yes, yes, this guy is definitely not a good Zetsu, tie him up!"
Once they started, the White Zetsu who had been working together just now were not happy.
"You are so strange, why do you want to catch him?"
The Misaka Sister pretended to be angry and scolded loudly, "Catch him too. This White Zetsu is quite strange; he looks like he has a problem."
"That's right, that's right, I also think he is quite strange. He actually disobeyed the order of the [General White Zetsu]; he is definitely not a good Zetsu." The supporting master was busy adding insult to injury.
This time it was even funnier. The Misaka Sister didn't even give an order, and a group of White Zetsu surrounded them and tied up this White Zetsu who had spoken up for justice.
The two Misaka Sisters were overjoyed.
"Good, good, good, we just want to find the strange guys mixed among our White Zetsu. Some fake White Zetsu have mixed in here; you all have to use actions to prove yourselves."
The initial six White Zetsu were triumphant and smug after being praised by the Misaka Sisters.
They even complained to the two White Zetsu who were captured, "They look like fakes; they don't look like good Zetsu at all!"
This feeling of randomly wronging people was simply too pleasant.
It was just like playing "Werewolf" when two werewolves openly colluded to vote to kill a villager as a werewolf in Konoha Village.
At another underground location in Konoha Village, Orochimaru's laboratory center.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's two direct disciples were both here at this moment.
Orochimaru had received the notification from Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he didn't expect that among the Third Hokage's disciples, only he was willing to follow the teacher's arrangements at this time.
"Aren't you coming with me to see the teacher?"
Orochimaru asked casually, "Teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi has already summoned us three times."
Tsunade shook her head.
"It must be that broken business between the families again. Our Senju Clan is almost gone, and it's a bit excessive to still use me as a signboard. There's no point in talking about these things now."
Orochimaru looked at Tsunade, but Tsunade's gaze was entirely focused on Kato Dan in the nutrient solution.
"Tsunade, I'll ask one last time. Kato Dan is already dead. How about giving Jiraiya a chance?"
Tsunade's expression changed slightly, but she just lowered her head silently.
After a long time, she shook her head and said, "Jiraiya and I are just partners; there's no chance. He has his own destiny."
Orochimaru's expression was calm, but a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Jiraiya sent a message before. He said he found the Child of Prophecy. I really didn't expect that you, Tsunade, also found your own Child of Prophecy."
Tsunade's smile was beautiful and sad.
"You go see the teacher yourself. Among the three of us, only you, Orochimaru, can become the Hokage."
"Hokage?" Orochimaru's magnetic, hoarse voice made Tsunade recall the Hokage dreams that Kato Dan and her younger brother Nawaki had been obsessed with.
[My dream is to become the Hokage!]
Subconsciously touching the wine gourd at her waist, Tsunade recited the word "Hokage" with some sadness.
"Stop drinking. Many experiments have risks when operated after being drunk. I'm not in the laboratory; don't try forbidden jutsu."
Orochimaru took off his white lab coat and looked back at Tsunade as he walked out of the laboratory.
"I will ask for leave for you from the teacher, but you cannot stay outside the Village forever."
Tsunade nodded, "Don't worry, that guy Jiraiya runs out for a year at a time. It's fine for me to disappear for a while."
She didn't know that Jiraiya, whom the two were talking about, was looking out at Stardew Valley at this moment, watching a group of children playing and frolicking.
He had been in contact with the children for a long time, and even though he was a rough man, Jiraiya had the thought of wanting to get married and have children.
But that white moonlight of his past, that golden-haired beautiful shadow condensed in his heart, was becoming more and more blurred. "Perhaps, it's time to go back to the Village!"
