Minato was quite glad that Ryou had transplanted White Zetsu cells; if it had been the true Hashirama cells, displaying Wood Release of Forbidden Jutsu level...
Minato would not have been able to return.
Mikoto and Itachi were extremely shocked. The Uchiha had actually obtained the power of the Senju?
The two clans, who had been in opposition for a thousand years, mutually hostile and exclusive, had never learned each other's jutsu.
Hayate was very envious; his body was also extremely weak, just like Uchiha Ryou's used to be.
He greatly anticipated adapting to the White Zetsu cells and gaining a healthy body.
Ebisu enviously stroked Obito's body, drooling, "Even if it's only half, no, even a tenth of its power would be enough to become a capable Ninja."
"Obito, it seems you've really pulled yourself together and surpassed Kakashi!"
"Hahaha..."
Obito rubbed his head, a bit carried away. Although half of his body had turned white and his face was disfigured, Obito felt that his future was bright.
Rin didn't dislike him like this, and he had also escaped from the evil Madara and Uchiha Ryou.
The future is promising... my ass!
Madara, that evil Uchiha, was about to control the world with genjutsu. The end of the world was fast approaching.
Obito quickly said to Minato, "Minato-sensei, Uchiha Madara never intended to rule the Five Great Nations; his true goal is to rule the world with genjutsu."
"What?!"
Everyone was startled.
Minato quickly covered Obito's mouth: "Obito, let's talk about this when we get to the Hokage Building!"
Obito nodded: "Alright, alright!"
His heart was filled with joy; this time he was finally going to achieve a great merit! He was one step closer to the position of Hokage.
Kushina asked Yakushi Nonō about Obito's condition: "Yakushi Nonō, is there any problem with Obito transplanting these White Zetsu cells?"
Yakushi Nonō adjusted her glasses and said, "Currently, there seems to be no problem. The White Zetsu cells have provided Obito with extremely strong physical abilities and Chakra."
"His current recovery ability means that even if his internal organs are injured, they will recover quickly."
These were the gentle Hashirama cells, a difficult problem that Root had been trying to solve, yet it was found in Obito's body.
Madara had actually solved the strong corrosiveness of Hashirama cells; he truly was a genius!
Obito rubbed his head, thinking if there was anything else important, then suddenly he froze, remembering an extremely critical issue.
Obito anxiously said to Minato, "Minato-sensei, Ryou and White Zetsu can use a technique called Spore Technique to monitor enemies."
"These spores hide in the Chakra pathways, and my body might have their spores monitoring me!"
Minato was startled and immediately checked Obito's body.
Obito's consciousness was clear during the days he was controlled. He remembered everything Madara and Ryou did.
He just wanted to inform Konoha of this intelligence one day if he ever escaped.
Obito had thought he would never get this chance in his life, but he unexpectedly escaped.
Minato activated his Chakra sensing and checked three times before finally discovering an anomaly in Obito's Chakra pathways, as if a tree seed was hidden within it.
Who knew that as soon as the spore was discovered, it instantly absorbed Obito's Chakra and transformed into a White Zetsu appearing on Obito's body.
"What the hell is this?"
A group of Chunin looked at the neither-human-nor-ghost White Zetsu with some fear.
Kushina quickly took out a Sealing Scroll and performed a Sealing Jutsu to seal the White Zetsu.
Obito's Chakra was absorbed, leaving him somewhat dejected. He pointed at Kakashi, Rin, and Kurenai, warning, "Sensei, it's not over yet."
"Anyone who has been controlled by Ryou might have had spores planted in them. Quickly check Kakashi and the others."
Kakashi, Rin, and Kurenai were stunned. Were they also infected with spores?
As soon as Obito finished speaking, Kakashi, Rin, and Kurenai suddenly showed symptoms.
Their Chakra was absorbed in large quantities, and they collapsed to the ground.
Then, the spores that had absorbed the three's Chakra burst out of their bodies, gathering together to form a pure white cat.
Its tail was long, its waist short, and its eyes were red, reflecting the Uchiha Clan's three tomoe Sharingan. It was precisely a spore clone possessing Ryou's will.
The white cat's red pupils looked at Mikoto and Itachi behind the crowd.
"Long time no see, Mikoto! Itachi!"
Mikoto suppressed the joy in her heart, restrained her longing for Ryou, and pretended to have no association with him.
"Brother, you've fallen!"
The white cat shook its head, no longer paying attention to Mikoto and Itachi, and turned back to Obito, saying, "Obito, I didn't expect you to escape? I underestimated you."
Obito called out to Minato, no longer able to contain his anger: "Minato-sensei, quickly help me catch him, I want to electrocute him!"
The white cat immediately shouted, "Minato, don't move! All the Chakra in my body has now been converted into fire-attribute Chakra."
"If you dare to move, I'll blow you all sky high!"
"Then it'll be fine wine in luminous cups at night, and Konoha Ninja flying in the sky."
"Meow—"
Before Minato could act, Kushina grabbed Ryou, and Sealing Jutsu symbols covered the white cat's entire body. The white cat could only hiss.
Kushina held the white cat by the scruff of its neck, and the white cat immediately felt as if its destiny had been seized.
Kushina said proudly, "Little Uchiha Ryou, in the end, aren't you still being toyed with in the palm of my bloody red pepper's hand?"
The white cat roared at Kushina, "You tomato, if you know what's good for you, let me go, or my main body will lead an army of 100,000 Amegakure Ninja to attack Konoha."
This spore clone of Ryou was not that strong. It wasn't a life spore, just an ordinary monitoring spore.
Absorbing the Chakra of Kakashi and the other two could at most deal with Chunin.
Even though its eyes looked like a Sharingan, it was actually just a projection of the Sharingan, merely a bluff.
Kushina scoffed, grabbing the white cat by its two front paws and lifting it up.
"An army of 100,000 Amegakure Ninja, what a boast!"
"Uchiha Ryou, if you know what's good for you, surrender obediently with Uchiha Madara, or else if I, Kushina, get involved, this matter won't end well."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Ryou's spore clone, transformed into a white cat, was indeed intimidating, especially its Sharingan eyes.
As soon as it appeared, all the Chunin were scared and retreated.
Guy stepped forward and knelt before the white cat, tears streaming down his face: "Ryou-sama, why did you defect?"
"Why didn't you tell me before you defected? How can my father and I repay the kindness you showed us now?"
The white cat pointed at Minato and said, "Guy, killing Minato will repay my kindness."
Guy vigorously slammed his head on the ground, drawing blood.
"Ryou-sama, I'm sorry, I cannot do that."
"I also can't be an enemy of Ryou-sama. I'm so conflicted, Ryou-sama, please tell me what to do?"
Everyone looked at Guy, whose forehead was bleeding, and fell silent.
The more single-minded a creature, the more it values emotion.
Perhaps, Guy was the most heartbroken by Ryou's defection!
"You tomato, let me go!"
The white cat shouted.
Ryou was already controlled by the Sealing Jutsu and couldn't refine Chakra, so Kushina wasn't afraid of the white cat causing any trouble and released him.
The white cat jumped in front of Guy and extended its paw towards him: "Guy, why are you thinking so much?"
"Can your brain handle such difficult problems? If you want to repay me, use your fists!"
"Train hard in Eight Gates and please me!"
Guy's eyes finally sparkled. He extended his hand firmly: "Okay, it's settled then. One day, I will open all Eight Gates in front of Ryou-sama."
"To repay Ryou-sama's kindness to my father and me!"
"..."
The white cat was stunned. I told you to train hard in Eight Gates, not to open all Eight Gates!
If you open all Eight Gates, even Six Paths Madara wouldn't be enough for you to fight. My main body would just find a crack in the ground and hide as far away as possible!
