Suddenly, a mature female voice came from above.
Matsumoto Rangiku, with her voluptuous figure and long wavy orange hair, looked down at them.
"Ooh la la! What a hot big sister!"
White Zetsu was still being playful, but Black Zetsu was startled.
How did she find him?!
His Mayfly Technique should have concealed his presence!
Matsumoto Rangiku's expression was cold. "Allowing someone to infiltrate the Soul Society Court so easily is truly a dereliction of duty for my Tenth Division!"
"Now, obediently surrender!"
Black Zetsu didn't hesitate, immediately submerging underground.
He wasn't a combatant—retreat, withdraw, escape!
Matsumoto Rangiku's hand, which was drawing her sword, stiffened. She hadn't expected the enemy to flee so decisively; this was highly unusual!
"Heart of the South, Eye of the North, Fingertip of the West, Toe of the East, gather with the wind, scatter with the rain! Bakudo Number Fifty-Eight: Kakushi Tsuijaku!"
*Buzz!*
Matsumoto Rangiku quickly sensed the whereabouts of that black and white thing.
But then she gave up.
"That guy is fast!"
In just a moment, he had already reached the outskirts of Rukongai.
By the time she tried to sense him again, he was already outside her sensory range.
Seriously, he must have put all his skill points into escaping.
Helpless, Matsumoto Rangiku could only go report the situation to Lord Soul King first.
"A black and white humanoid creature that looks like a pitcher plant?"
With such a distinct description, Chihiro immediately knew who had infiltrated the Soul Society Court.
Zetsu!
But wasn't it a bit too early for Zetsu to appear?
He remembered Zetsu only appearing after Uchiha Madara had finished manipulating Uchiha Obito, right?
Why had he shown up so soon now?
However, Chihiro wasn't overly concerned.
Zetsu appearing in the Soul Society Court meant that Uchiha Madara had already set his sights on the Uzushigakure.
As for the reason... he could likely guess it: Uzumaki Nagato.
More accurately, it was the Rinnegan.
Having the Rinnegan in the hands of another nation would inevitably cause unease.
He didn't pay much mind to Uchiha Madara himself.
The current Uchiha Madara was no longer young.
He wasn't overly concerned about a mere elderly Madara.
Instead, Chihiro was somewhat anticipating whether Uchiha Madara would come to Rukongai after he finally succumbed and died.
Meanwhile.
Black Zetsu left the Uzushigakure with lingering fear.
"Huh, are we going back already?"
White Zetsu was disappointed; he had finally gotten a chance to travel far and wanted to sightsee.
And that was just so thrilling!
Black Zetsu said gravely, "No, we are going to conduct an experiment!"
"An experiment? What kind of experiment!"
