Starting with the usurpation of Akatsuki, the ninja world was overthrown.

Chapter 230

Besides Black Zetsu and Afei, there was another person present who was also very confused.

That was Anko, the true disciple of Orochimaru who shared a room with Rinpo.

All Hongdou wanted to ask was, "What happened?"

Where did this group of people come from?

The two sides' Wood Release techniques collided violently, immediately detonating the entire Konoha camp.

Many Konoha ninja rushed to the scene, and their feelings were complicated upon seeing this.

"Wood Release? Who on earth is using Wood Release?"

Once a signature ninjutsu of Konoha, it now seems to be increasingly appearing in the hands of unknown individuals in the ninja world.

Black Zetsu and A Fei dared not linger and quickly fled.

Obito, however, relentlessly pursued them.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but turn back and take one last look at Limpoli, his single eye peeking out from under the mask filled with longing.

Unfortunately, Limpoli didn't recognize him at all and just tilted her head blankly.

Then, as if she had just remembered Shiba Kiyoka's teachings, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth and gave the stranger in front of her a very faint smile.

However, she did not know that this simple smile was like a soul-shaking blow, piercing through the masked monster's defenses.

But faced with the ever-increasing number of Konoha ninja, Obito finally looked away in anguish.

The next moment, it summoned another black vortex, disappeared into it, and vanished.

A few minutes later, Orochimaru returned. Looking at the mess in front of him and listening to his subordinate's brief report, a strange expression appeared on his face.

His gaze involuntarily drifted to Rinpo, and the next moment Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh.

"Did Qinghe-jun really predict it correctly? Heh, how interesting. How exactly did he foresee these things?"

He didn't believe at all that Limpoli could be a talisman to protect him.

But the current changes left him no choice but to believe it.

In an instant, Orochimaru's awe of Shiba Kiyokawa deepened, which further strengthened his desire to cooperate with Shiba Kiyokawa.

Black Zetsu was unaware that his clumsy actions had once again inadvertently helped the person he hated most; otherwise, he probably would have become withdrawn again.

Using a technique to burrow underground and escape a great distance, Black Zetsu and A Fei finally dared to surface and check the situation.

"They didn't...they didn't catch up, did they?" Black Wolf Fox asked, panting.

Ah Fei was no longer in the mood for jokes or nonsense; he was also breathing heavily.

It took them quite a while to finally confirm that Obito really hadn't caught up anymore.

I don't know where he disappeared to, his soul gone in sorrow.

Black Zetsu and A Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking back on this brief operation, Black Zetsu was both angry and regretful, his teeth clenched in hatred.

"Damn it! Where did that girl come from? Wasn't that demon sword already dead on the coast?"

To some extent, he guessed the truth this time: it was indeed "Demon Blade" who did it all.

It's a pity he couldn't see through the deeper truth.

Just then, the sound of a hidden mechanism suddenly came from not far away, interrupting Black Zetsu's regret.

At that moment, Black Zetsu was furious.

Even if he were down on his luck, he wouldn't be so low as to be outmaneuvered by ordinary ninjas and ordinary traps, would he?

"Who? Who's there?!"

He and Ah Fei turned around and attacked at the same time.

"Wood Release: Tree Spear!"

The javelin-like branch pierced straight through and immediately pierced a puppet.

But soon more puppets surged up!

These puppets move nimbly and change direction very frequently, showing none of the stiffness and sluggishness of conventional puppets.

As weapons flew, the tree trunks summoned by Black Zetsu and A Fei were instantly shaved into pieces.

In the blink of an eye, a puppet had already reached Black Zetsu's front!

It was only then that he realized he had encountered no ordinary ninja!

"Damn it!"

Black Zetsu cursed as he retreated in panic, but his chest was still ripped open horizontally by the puppet's weapon.

But the next moment, it was the puppeteer hiding in the shadows who was surprised, because the puppet's slash had almost cut open half of Black Zetsu's chest, but the strange man with the pitcher plant on his head only howled very loudly, and there was almost no other sign of being affected.

Without immortal techniques and the power of the Six Paths, Black Zetsu cannot be killed; he can only be severely injured and hurt.

Black Zetsu's cowardice often stems from his fear of his body being shattered, imprisoned, or sealed, which would then take a long time to escape.

But his essence is immortal; at least below the Six Paths level, he is immortal.

After several more rounds of fighting, the puppets that had been gaining the upper hand chose to retreat.

Not long after, two slightly aged figures emerged from the woods.

Black Zetsu and A Fei enjoyed themselves.

They naturally recognized the newcomers as the representative figures of the Sand Village Puppet Masters: Elder Chiyo and her younger brother Ebizo.

Chiyo's appearance at this moment was clearly motivated by a desire to negotiate.

"If I'm not mistaken, you two must be the white monsters who recently wreaked havoc in Kirigakure, right? You came from the east, yet you look disheveled. What? Aren't you Konoha ninjas?"

Although the color scheme of Black Zetsu differed somewhat from the rumors, Elder Chiyo immediately matched the two figures before her with the white monster that had been exposed in Kirigakure.

Upon hearing Chiyo's words, Black Zetsu's expression changed several times.

At that moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise and delight, as if a new vista had opened up before him.

Although he had just suffered a setback at Orochimaru's hands, his chance encounter with these two from Sunagakure might just be a turning point.

Black Zetsu immediately revealed a mysterious smile. "Of course not. We have no connection with Konoha. But I'm curious about your stances, you two. Perhaps we can have more opportunities for cooperation?"

This was exactly what Chiyo and Ebizo wanted to hear.

They exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

They are in dire need of help right now!

Meanwhile, in the city-state of Loulan in the desert of the Land of Wind, Shiba Kiyokawa and Yekura reunited after a long time, and happened to be talking about the two elders, Chiyo and Ebizo.

Yekura said, "If Orochimaru is really determined to launch a campaign soon, I can support him, but only if you help me completely eliminate those two elders."

Upon hearing this, Shiba Kiyokawa raised an eyebrow with a slight smile.

He still remembered when he first met Yekura, this female ninja would rather die than betray the village. He never expected that less than two years later, she would be able to calmly say that she needed outsiders to help deal with the elders in her village.

It's clear that power is truly a corrupting poison.

Why is there suddenly this need?

Ye Cang rubbed his temples wearily and sighed.

"I can't help it. Even though so much time has passed, I'm still the one who isn't chosen."

"Why?" Shiba Kiyokawa asked curiously again.

"Because I captured Scorpion, because I judged Chiyo's grandson, and because my backer is not the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, but Loulan! They have always refused to accept Loulan's money, and even wanted to help the Daimyo destroy this place."

At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa's eyes instantly turned cold, sharp as a drawn sword.

"Ha! Then they certainly must die!"
