Chapter 40: Share
Who cared about White Zetsu? All the important information, Raiken already knew.
What truly mattered about the White Zetsu's body was its cells. They contained something extraordinary—something that could strengthen any shinobi, especially those from the Uchiha Clan.
There was also a high probability that the Uzumaki Clan could harness Wood Style by implanting these cells into their bodies. Unlike Hashirama's cells, which carried an overwhelming concentration of Yang energy that acted like poison to Senju and Uzumaki, White Zetsu cells were far more compatible.
[DING! Sebastian donated 1000 stars for capturing White Zetsu]
[Message: Maybe the host doesn't know, but with White Zetsu cells, Mangekyō Sharingan users won't go blind.]
Raiken smiled faintly. Is this Sebastian a newcomer? The way he spoke during the livestream, it was clear he knew the plotline. He wasn't just some random audience member thrown into this world.
But then Raiken remembered—sometimes, as a reader himself, he used to comment on an author's story to drop hints, nudging them to "cook" the chapter using his information. Maybe this was the same thing.
"Bring him inside," Raiken ordered, his voice steady. "And don't tell anyone about it. I need to meet the Uchiha Clan Leader."
"Uchiha?" Kenshiro asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes. I don't think it's wise to tell the Hokage," Raiken replied firmly. He had no intention of letting Zetsu's cells fall into Danzo's hands.
"Understood," Kenshiro said with a nod.
"Master," Arata interjected, cautious but thoughtful. "If we report this creature to the Hokage, we might gain their trust. We could even ask for something in return."
Raiken caressed his chin, weighing the pros and cons. Arata wasn't wrong—informing the Hokage could earn him valuable leverage.
"First, secure the body. Place the White Zetsu corpse in a container, we must protect the sample before handing over even a fraction of it to the Hokage. But before I make any decision, I want to meet with the Uchiha Clan," Raiken decided.
His subordinates exchanged glances, then nodded. They respected Raiken's judgment, though they also knew their role included voicing concerns when necessary.
---Madara POV---
"Madara-sama, something terrible has happened!" White Zetsu voice trembled with panic, his usually calm, funny and sometimes goofy expression twisted in fear.
Madara, who had lived with them for a long time, had never once seen White Zetsu lose his composure. For him to act like this meant something truly bad had occurred.
Maybe, just maybe... They know something about him.
"What happened? Did they discover that I am still alive?" Madara asked, his Rinegan eyes snapped open.
"No… it is worse than that," White Zetsu replied. "One of my clones has been destroyed, and..." he hesitated before continuing, ".... Black Zetsu was almost captured by the Uzumaki Clan."
Madara frowned his face darkened. His heart skipped a beat at the mention of White Zetsu clones being destroyed, and also the matter of Black Zetsu being exposed. "What? How did this happen?" His tone raised in disbelief.
White Zetsu had main body which always stick with Black Zetsu and it is considered main body, while the others can be considered as clones. But this time, the clone which is as good as main body are being destroyed which never happened before.
White Zetsu quickly explained, "They have developed a new sealing technique, a detection barrier. With it, they were able to sense intruders inside their clan estate. My presence was revealed the instant they activated it."
Hearing this Madara become quiet, he then closed his eyes for a moment, deep in thought. He had always known the Uzumaki were masters of sealing jutsu, but to hear that they had devised something capable of locating even the elusive Zetsu make him worried. Slowly, he opened his eyes again.
"Is Black Zetsu safe?" Madara asked, his voice softer.
"Yes. He managed to escape before they could catch him," White Zetsu answered.
"And what of you? Detection is one thing, but for them to destroy you outright…" Madara brow furrowed, irritated with Uzumaki Clan and also White Zetsu "How did they manage such a feat and why didn't you run away like Black Zetsu?"
"Black Zetsu body is always ready to run away, but my sporadic clone is different. Once we escape, we will be exposed and we didn't thought they channeled chakra directly into my clone body, changing the spore into another form . One was destroyed instantly, while another was restrained and taken alive. We could not prevent it."
Hearing this Madara knows that White Zetsu had done his best, in that situation he will be captured easily.
For the first time in decades, Madara felt his composure falter. If the Uzumaki had captured a White Zetsu, they might attempt to unravel its secrets, his moon eye project.
"Can you destroy your clone body remotely?" Madara demanded, his voice tight.
White Zetsu shook his head. "No, Madara-sama. But do not worry. As I have told you before, our biology is… unique. Genjutsu has no effect on us, and even the Yamanaka Clan mind techniques cannot penetrate us. Our brains are not structured like humans—they are closer to plants than flesh. They will find nothing of value from interrogation."
Madara exhaled slowly, relief tempered by unease. If what White Zetsu said was true, then the captured body was safe from mental probing. But ttill, the very fact that it had fallen into enemy hands gnawed at him. Before he could speak further, suddenly Black Zetsu finally arrived.
"Madara-sama, I bring grave news," Black Zetsu said as he emerged from the wall, his tone heavy. "It appears the Uzumaki Clan has developed a sealing detection barrier unlike any I have ever seen."
"I already know. White Zetsu has informed me," Madara replied coldly, though his crimson eyes flickered with interest. "Tell me, what did you observe after your escape?"
Black Zetsu form wavered as he recalled the events. "I lingered at a distance and watched it from a far. It seemed they intended to preserve a portion of the White Zetsu cells for themselves. I could not come closer because I am afraid they will detect me, but I suspect they are debating whether to hand some of it to the Hokage… or keep everything for their own use."
Madara frown deepened. Why this happen, they never suspect anything on Uzushiogakure but now they managed to detect them?
"Monitor their clan from a far, if they activated it through out Konoha you guys must stay outside the barrier detection" said Madara. He frowned, even though he had lots of White Zetsu body but by giving them two body, it will strengthen Uzumaki Clan and possibly Uchiha too.
