SEC Chapter 529 Monster
Chapter 529 Monster
"Kushina-sensei's creative cuisine..."
Kakashi's voice was full of helpless teasing, as if he were recalling some ridiculous past events.
"My teacher's wife is a very good cook, and her food is so delicious, but once she starts to develop new dishes, they easily turn into things that are hard to swallow."
He shook his head. "That so-called health food dish of seaweed and saury last time, even Minato-sensei turned pale after just one bite..."
He turned to look at Yamato and spoke in a tone seeking approval.
"Right, Yamato? That's really unfair. Zacian has to practice swordsmanship, which is physically demanding, yet he's always eating Kushina's... well, not easy-to-swallow kind of food."
Yamato paused for a moment. "Huh? You've been eating such terrible food all this time?" He thought for a moment, and his expression changed from confusion to sympathy.
"That is indeed very pitiful."
"In that case—"
Kakashi seemed to have finally revealed his true intentions. "I'll leave the child's meals to you when we get back."
"After all, taking care of the younger generation is our responsibility. She really likes ramen."
"What?! Me?!" Yamato's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief. "Kakashi-senpai is too cunning! Why me?!"
His voice was filled with protest, dissatisfaction, and resentment at being tricked.
"By the way, Lin."
Kakashi ignored Yamato's protest and turned to Rin. "Please make some more ointment when you get back."
Lin looked up, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. "Ointment?"
"Yeah." Kakashi nodded. "Because Minato-sensei needs to practice his combo techniques, and Zaixiang practices swordsmanship for a long time every day. It would be troublesome if he got injured."
"After all, if your wrist is injured, you can't practice swordsmanship."
Lin widened her eyes slightly, then a gentle, understanding smile appeared on her face. "The ointment? Hmm, leave it to me."
She nodded, her voice full of eagerness to help. "Indeed, if your wrist is injured, you can't form hand seals, and you can't even use the simplest ninjutsu. I'll make some extra, just enough to last."
Kakashi nodded, then glanced at Yamato, who was still sulking beside him.
The next moment—Kakashi suddenly moved!
He lunged at Lin in an instant!
Before Lin could react, before she could even wipe the gentle smile off her face, Kakashi suddenly subdued her from in front of him!
One arm was locked tightly around her shoulder, while the other hand had already drawn a kunai, the blade firmly pressed against her neck!
"senior--!"
Yamato's scream had barely rang out, before he could even make a move—"Bang!"
A yellow light flashed!
Minato appeared in front of Yamato in an instant and kicked him hard in the chest! Yamato was sent flying backward and crashed heavily into the nearest tree.
Immediately afterwards, a Flying Thunder God kunai was pressed against his neck.
Minato stood there, his usually gentle face now devoid of any smile, only a cold and murderous aura.
"You...you all..."
The subdued "Yamato" managed to speak with difficulty, "How did you know...?"
It finally stopped pretending.
The gentleness and helplessness that once belonged to Yamato in those eyes had now turned into something cold and inhuman.
"Because Zaxiang is a dog."
The sound of the water gate was icy cold.
"It doesn't like to eat ramen, and it doesn't know how to wield a sword."
"explain!"
Kakashi's voice came from the other side, filled with barely suppressed anger.
His arm was locked tightly around "Lin", his kunai pressed against her fair neck, and his single exposed eye burned with raging anger.
"Who are you! Where are the real Rin and Yamato?!"
"Zachou...is that a dog's name?!"
The "Yamato" who had been subdued by Minato let out a resentful roar, his voice filled with anger at being toyed with.
"Damn it! You tricked me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body began to twist violently.
The disguise of "Yamato" melted away like wax, revealing its true face beneath—pale skin, empty eyes, and a distorted face that possessed a strange vitality.
White Zetsu.
At the same time, "Rin," who had been subdued by Kakashi, also began to shed her disguise, revealing her pale, inhuman face.
Two White Zetsu.
However, Kakashi and Minato both frowned; they didn't recognize this monster.
"What exactly are you things?!"
Kakashi's voice carried a barely perceptible lingering fear, his heart pounding wildly.
Really.
If it weren't for that butterfly—which might be the reincarnation of Obito—I really wouldn't have realized that Rin and Yamato had been replaced!
"Hmph, is there any point in answering that?"
The subdued white monster let out a disdainful sneer. "Anyway, now that you've discovered us... our only goal is to stall you here!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Kakashi and Minato abruptly looked up!
They sensed it!
Suddenly, a dense mass of chakra appeared all around!
From all directions, from the depths of the forest, from underground—countless chakra is surging forth wildly!
There are at least thousands!
"Damn it..." Kakashi suddenly exerted force with his arm!
"puff--"
The kunai swept across, and the white Zetsu's head fell off.
On the other side, Minato also made his move at the same time. With a flick of his Flying Thunder God Kuno, another White Zetsu's head rolled to the ground.
The two headless corpses swayed, and then—instantly—grew into a tree.
"This is... a really serious problem."
Minato's voice was deep and calm. He looked at Kakashi, whose usually gentle face was now filled with a chilling expression.
"Kakashi, let's finish this quickly! We need to rescue Rin and Yamato as soon as possible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, golden chakra suddenly erupted from Minato's body!
The light formed a flowing chakra cloak around him!
Golden light illuminated the entire forest, the approaching white monsters, and Minato's face!
Yin Nine-Tails Chakra Mode!
The other half of the soul, which was sealed in the Reaper Death Seal, has existed within Minato's body ever since it was freed from the Shinigami's belly.
At this moment, the other half of his power is surging wildly, perfectly merging with his own power!
Minato was ready to go all out from the start!
Kakashi nodded emphatically.
His gaze swept over the approaching white ocean, then settled on the butterfly still frantically fluttering in the air.
The tiny butterfly was frantically flapping its wings, circling Kakashi again and again.
Kakashi's heart tightened suddenly.
More anxious than him was this butterfly; more concerned about Lin than he was; more eager to save her than he was.
Because that might be Obito...
Kakashi took a deep breath, raised his hand, and slowly pulled up the headband that had been covering his eyes.
Beneath the headband, the eye that had been hidden was revealed.
Then, his eyes began to change.
A crimson light condensed in his pupils, and three tomoe appeared, then spun wildly, eventually converging into two completely different yet equally eerie patterns—the Mangekyou Sharingan.
The power belonging to the dual divine might is currently gathering frantically.
