Chapter 251 The Snake That Wasn't Full
In the underground passage of Building C, the alarm was still sounding, alerting everyone that someone had broken in.
"boom!"
Nishikawa Tetsu's figure was like a black lightning bolt; he passed through the passage to the lower level only after undergoing biometric authentication.
"A very faint trace of Wood Release remains in the air..."
Nishikawa Tetsu stopped amidst the mess, his cold gaze sweeping over his surroundings.
The originally tight security system was cleverly destroyed by some force. Several members of the secret service responsible for perimeter security lay on the ground, without any obvious external injuries, but all of them were in a deep coma.
"Spore Technique? No, it directly absorbed chakra."
Nishikawa Tetsu immediately saw through the deception.
While White Zetsu may not be strong in direct combat, their unpredictable parasitic and camouflage techniques make them unparalleled in terms of infiltration and sabotage.
He continued his downward advance, heading straight for Orochimaru's core laboratory.
"Dean Orochimaru!"
When Nishikawa Tetsu rushed into the specimen room on the lowest floor, the sight before him made his pupils shrink slightly.
The heavy, explosion-proof glass culture tank was shattered, and the white sterile specimen that had been inside had vanished.
Orochimaru was leaning against the wall next to the ruins, holding a test tube in his hand. Although his clothes were a little dusty, he did not appear to be injured.
"Che-kun, you're late." Orochimaru's voice was still hoarse.
"He got away?" Nishikawa Tetsu frowned. "And the live sample was taken away too?"
"Not only that, he also destroyed some of the preliminary research data." Orochimaru licked his lips. "That guy's ninjutsu is really troublesome; he can burrow underground in the blink of an eye."
"Which way did they run?"
"Lower reaches of the Namga River".
Orochimaru threw out a compass-shaped instrument.
"This is a tracker. I added a special radioactive isotope label to the solution in that culture tank. As long as it's within a ten-kilometer radius, this pointer will point to it."
"We absolutely cannot let it get away!"
Nishikawa Tetsu took the compass, turned around without hesitation, and his figure instantly disappeared into the darkness.
Watching Nishikawa Tetsu's departing figure, Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils flashed with a meaningful light.
……
Outside Konoha Village, downstream of the Naka River.
The surging river rushes through the canyon, creating a deafening roar.
In the soil beneath the ground, a strange creature, half black and half white, is moving at high speed.
"Hehehe... Konoha's defense is nothing special."
White Zetsu's voice echoed in his mind, "We easily retrieved the samples and even destroyed their data. Lord Madara will definitely praise us!"
"Shut up, don't let your guard down."
Black Zetsu's voice was somber and impatient: "Konoha's sensory barrier is much stronger than before. We were lucky to infiltrate it; we must leave as soon as possible!"
Just then, Bai Jue suddenly felt a violent tremor coming from above.
"boom!"
A thick beam of blue-purple light pierced through tens of meters of rock without warning and struck the underground water vein directly in front of it.
The terrifyingly high temperature instantly vaporized the river water, and the violent explosion triggered a local earthquake, forcibly bringing the dead out from underground!
"Splash!"
White Zetsu burst from the ground and landed on a rock on a riverbank, looking up with a grim expression.
Above the canyon.
Nishikawa Tetsu stood on the edge of the cliff, the heavy electromagnetic cannon he was holding in his hands was still emitting blue smoke.
He looked down at the black and white monster below as if it were a mouse that had fallen into a trap.
"Run? Why don't you stop hiding like a coward?"
Nishikawa Tetsu sneered and leaped off the cliff.
"The brat from Konoha..."
Zetsu looked at Nishikawa Tetsu. Although he knew that the other party had that strange weapon, he was still very confident in his own survival ability.
Do you think you can keep me here by yourself?
"Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique!"
Zetsu's arm instantly transformed into countless sharp wooden spikes, which rained down on Nishikawa Tetsu in mid-air.
Nishikawa Tetsu dodged the attacks thanks to his quick reflexes, but there were too many of them to get close to the White Zetsu for the time being.
"Heh heh, useless. Wood Release is a miracle of life; your junk can't handle me!"
Jue grinned maliciously, preparing to launch another attack and completely eliminate this troublesome brat.
Just then, a blinding golden flash suddenly appeared behind White Zetsu without warning.
"Rasengan!"
"boom!"
A bright blue chakra ball was slammed into White Zetsu's back.
With a scream, he was thrown out by the enormous spinning force and crashed heavily into the river, splashing water everywhere.
"Watergate?!"
Nishikawa Tetsu looked at the suddenly appearing Namikaze Minato with surprise.
What are you doing here?
"When I received the highest-level intrusion alert from the barrier class, I knew something must have happened on your end."
Minato, holding a specially made kunai, walked to Nishikawa Tetsu's side, and frowned slightly as he looked at the scratches on his clothes.
"Are you alright, Che?"
"It's alright, I'm not hurt." Nishikawa Tetsu stared intently at the water. "Be careful, this guy is very resilient. That attack probably didn't kill it."
No matter what, Black Zetsu was still there, and sure enough, the water surface churned.
Zetsu climbed out of the river. Although a large hole had been blasted in his back by the Rasengan, the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Yellow flash..."
Zetsu looked at Minato, then at Nishikawa Tetsu, and knew that it was impossible for him to get away easily today.
"Since you insist on courting death, then..."
Just as the White Zetsu was preparing to fight desperately or look for an opportunity to dive underground again.
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!"
A hoarse voice descended from the sky.
Several thick, giant pythons suddenly sprang out of the forest with lightning speed, instantly coiling around Jue's limbs and pinning him to the spot.
Orochimaru slowly emerged from the shadows, a hint of composure on his pale face.
"Dean?" Nishikawa Tetsuya was taken aback.
"You run too fast, Che-jun, I almost couldn't keep up."
Orochimaru walked to the riverbank and looked at the White Zetsu, who was entangled by snakes and unable to move, his eyes flashing with cold light.
"Now you can't escape, you little lab rat."
It struggled frantically, but Orochimaru's snake was incredibly powerful and seemed to contain some kind of paralyzing toxin, making it weaker and weaker.
"Well done, Lord Orochimaru." Minato breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to step forward to completely subdue Zetsu using a sealing technique.
However, just as the water gate was about to approach...
"oops."
Orochimaru suddenly let out an extremely affected exclamation.
The giant pythons that were coiled around White Zetsu suddenly loosened their grip on one of them without warning, and the gap that opened up gave White Zetsu the space to unleash his ninjutsu!
"Chance!"
Although White Zetsu didn't know why Orochimaru would make such a basic mistake, its survival instincts allowed it to seize the opportunity instantly.
"The art of the mayfly!"
Jue's body instantly turned into a pool of white fluid, which "whooshed" into the soil beneath his feet through the crack and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"What?!" Minato missed his target and stared at Orochimaru in shock.
Nishikawa Tetsuya was stunned. He looked at Orochimaru's hypocritical expression of "Oh dear, it got away. What a pity." His lips twitched wildly.
"Lord Orochimaru, what are you doing...?" Nishikawa Tetsu gritted his teeth.
"I'm so sorry, Che-kun, Minato."
Orochimaru shrugged and said innocently:
"That snake probably didn't eat enough last night and didn't have enough strength, so it managed to break free. That little thing is quite slippery."
"Not full?"
Nishikawa Tetsu took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to draw his gun.
You, a dignified Sannin, would let go of a snake just because it's not full? You're kidding me!
This was clearly intentional!
