Chapter 764: Chapter 6: Tobirama, Who Has Re-Mastered the Flying Thunder God, Meets Izuna for the First Time!
Somewhere in the Ninja World.
"What... what is this!" Zetsu opened the envelope sent from the black market, glanced at it, and froze on the spot.
From head to toe, a great sense of panic swept through its entire body!
The letter contained no words, only a drawing of acceptable craftsmanship—
"A woman trapped within a sphere, painfully struggling, and not far away, a man hiding in the shadows with an indifferent gaze, seemingly ready to strike at any moment..."
At first glance, Zetsu thought of its mother Kaguya!
Otsutsuki Kaguya was trapped by Six Paths Chibaku Tensei for a thousand years.
And the Six Paths Sage, like the man in the painting, hid in the Pure Land and watched...
This was not just Zetsu being overly sensitive.
Senju Tobirama, who had seen the Sage and Kaguya, intentionally included certain characteristics of both in the brushstrokes, expressing their unique aura.
Familiar with Kaguya and the Sage, Zetsu was instantly drawn in.
Especially since Zetsu was extremely wary of anyone knowing about Kaguya’s existence... Kaguya’s existence must remain hidden, as it would severely disrupt its plans!
Zetsu, powerful while lurking in the shadows, would be insignificant if exposed to the light... something even Chojuro could handle.
"How is this possible? Just a mere member of the Senju Clan, not even the reincarnation of Asura Chakra! He couldn’t possibly know these things!" Zetsu stared at the signature on the envelope—Senju Tobirama, its mind shaken.
What does it mean by sending this drawing?
Does Senju Tobirama know of its existence and identity, and the stories of Kaguya and Six Paths Sage?
It can’t be, absolutely not!
In managing the Ninja World over the millennia, while attempting to approach each reincarnation of Indra Chakra, Zetsu had never been detected...
Especially not by anyone from the Senju’s side! Since the Ancient Era, the Six Paths Sage had sealed all traces of Kaguya’s existence, leaving no one aware of the Rabbit Goddess having ever existed...
The only deity known was the Sage, who founded the Ninja Sect.
Zetsu took a deep breath, calming itself, and examined Tobirama’s drawing again and again.
"No... maybe I’ve overthought this... The observing man is Senju Tobirama, and the woman trapped in the sphere is Uchiha Izuna, using Water Release: Water Prison Jutsu?"
Zetsu pondered for a long time, considering another logical possibility.
This was Senju Tobirama depicting his defeat of Uchiha Izuna.
But why send such a drawing to me?
Suddenly, Zetsu felt its brain burning; extending from this point, there could be too many possibilities...
Senju Tobirama might be showing its confidence to win, or possibly feels this was misleading intelligence from Uchiha Izuna, using drawings to provoke and humiliate the opponent...
Or, does he indeed know something?
From Zetsu’s perspective, the Ninja World was transparent, with every character holding no secrets to it...
Yet now, Senju Tobirama had appeared to break free from this control.
With Senju Tobirama’s past thinking ability, combined with his curiosity and exploration of ancient texts and Kinjutsu, Zetsu couldn’t help but feel a chill.
Its main focus was the reincarnated Asura and Indra Chakras...
Mortals like Senju Tobirama were not within Zetsu’s original sight.
Even if they were capable, they couldn’t escape the limitations of era and lineage, their accomplishments being extremely limited... Only the reincarnations of Asura and Indra could potentially break the existing seal!
But after seeing this drawing, everything changed for Zetsu.
For Kaguya’s resurrection plan to be flawless, Zetsu must clarify Senju Tobirama’s situation... even if it’s just a coincidence, Zetsu needs to dig into the cause and effect!
"Senju Tobirama..."
Zetsu’s eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Uchiha Izuna must die, and you are just as damned..."
——————
Senju Clan Land.
[Detected target Zetsu with Otsutsuki Chakra, experiencing intense apprehension towards you!]
[You have extracted a certain amount of Otherworld Sense, unlocking some abilities!]
As Tobirama contemplated how to persuade Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna, his eyes flickered.
At this moment, when the Otherworld Sense belonging to Zetsu was seized by Tobirama, the previously suppressed sensation in his body due to Space-Time Law was largely relieved.
Tobirama raised an eyebrow, flipped his wrist to reveal a Kunai, and activated Chakra.
"Cyan Water Sword"...
The Flying Thunder God Mark was engraved on the Kunai, restoring Tobirama’s ability to perceive space and use Fuinjutsu. The process of driving Chakra became smooth.
Tobirama took out several more Kunai, marking each with the Flying Thunder God Seal, repeatedly releasing Jutsu to confirm his physical state.
"This will suffice... Zetsu helped me break the ice!"
Tobirama chuckled with satisfaction, feeling much relieved.
On the surface, Tobirama was essentially the same as his eighteen-year-old self in the original timeline... But the difference was, this time, he carried decades of combat experience, Kinjutsu, and the wisdom gained alongside Aomi.
