As Uchiha Fucheng and his group pursued the Rain Ninjas, they immediately alerted Black Zetsu, which was hiding deeper underground.
Black Zetsu was surprised to discover that among these newly arrived Uchiha Ninjas was the current Uchiha clan head it had always wanted to make contact with.
That legendary "Uchiha Fucheng," who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Could it be that after a streak of bad luck, one's luck becomes exceptionally good?" Black Zetsu thought, feeling even a bit happy.
Considering the formidable observational capabilities of the Mangekyo Sharingan, Black Zetsu dared not act rashly.
It merely followed from a distance, cautiously observing with a special sensory technique.
After fleeing the town, Doshin of the Land of Rain ran a long distance.
Before a slippery cliff wall, the group of Rain Ninjas came to a halt.
Ordinary Ninjas might have thought they could finally relax.
However, the powerful Doshin looked even more dejected.
"Prepare yourselves, we are surrounded!" Doshin reminded the others resentfully.
"Whatever means you have left, use them all. This is likely our final battle."
...
One, two, three...
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve...
"Twelve? Why are there so many?"
The White Zetsu who had come to gather manpower acted as if a computer had crashed, looking completely bewildered.
"Didn't I only summon ten White Zetsu? How did the number suddenly increase?"
The White Zetsu scratched the back of its head; its logic circuits seemed unable to comprehend why there were two extra White Zetsu.
Because the Misaka Sisters were essentially transformed from White Zetsu, as long as they used the Transformation Jutsu for foreign object mimicry, they could even simulate the scent of a White Zetsu.
Except for lacking the Spore Technique, they could deceive ordinary White Zetsu in all other aspects.
Of course, Black Zetsu, which was accustomed to hiding behind the scenes and was rather cunning, definitely could not be fooled by them.
The Misaka Sisters were not simply imitating White Zetsu to blend in; they possessed far superior logical thinking and completely autonomous communication abilities compared to the White Zetsu.
Now, these two Misaka Sisters who had infiltrated the White Zetsu began their grand bluffing strategy.
Misaka Sister 0011 spoke up first, "I suspect that enemies have infiltrated our ranks! Some White Zetsu are definitely moles."
Misaka Sister 0009 immediately stood with 0011.
With a serious expression, 0009 scanned the other few White Zetsu, not even sparing the one who had summoned them.
"You need to prove that you are not moles planted by the enemy."
The group of White Zetsu, with their abnormal neural circuits, immediately went into an uproar.
Some were shouting that they were veterans among the White Zetsu, pure-blooded "Banner White" Zetsu.
Others were explaining that they had been responsible for monitoring a target and were inexplicably summoned here; they didn't want to come at all.
Still others were laughing foolishly, pointing at themselves and muttering, "You know, now that you mention it, I am also a White Zetsu, so I could also be an enemy."
After all that commotion, including the one who had summoned the others, a total of thirteen white humanoid creatures were in chaos in the underground space.
At this moment, the importance of having a straight man and a funny man became apparent.
Misaka Sisters 0009 and 0011 began to play off each other.
First, using a trumped-up charge, they determined that a White Zetsu taller than the others was a mole and bound him with ropes.
Then, they tied up the White Zetsu who had just laughed and pointed at himself, claiming he might be a mole, wrapping him tightly like a dumpling.
Having eliminated those two, the White Zetsu who had summoned them immediately felt "relieved."
"Thanks to you two!"
In its neural circuits, 12 minus 2 resulted in the correct number.
But how could Misaka Sisters 0009 and 0011 let it have its way?
The two cooperated directly and pinned the White Zetsu who had summoned them to the ground as well.
The other eight who had just helped the Misaka Sisters tie up the White Zetsu seemed to have developed "muscle memory"; seeing the Misaka Sisters continue to capture people, they continued to help tie them up.
After all this fuss, they had managed to tie up thirteen White Zetsu into nine large white dumplings.
It went so smoothly that 0009 and 0011 could barely hold back their laughter.
Finally, they were left with the two most gullible White Zetsu, and only then did 0009 and 0011 stop.
The bound White Zetsu on the ground were either looking around foolishly or muttering, "You are just grabbing people randomly; you definitely haven't caught the right ones."
The chaotic voices sounded like being dropped into a pile of Minions.
It wasn't until four masked figures appeared in the underground space again that these White Zetsu stopped arguing.
The only two White Zetsu who remained free had wary expressions, staring blankly at the four masked Ninjas.
They looked at each other with some concern and cautiously moved closer to 0009 and 0011.
"Come here, you!"
0009 and 0011 acted instantly.
Only then did the two White Zetsu realize: they had also been tightly restrained by the White Zetsu who had been the most active in tying people up.
"You? He? I? We?"
These two White Zetsu clearly didn't have enough brainpower; for a moment, their language systems became confused.
They didn't understand why the two White Zetsu who were on their side would turn around and capture them, these two "active bundlers."
...
On Mikoto's side, the operation with the Misaka Sisters successfully concluded, leaving Black Zetsu, which was lurking underground, completely bewildered.
According to the timeline, the White Zetsu sent out should have returned with reinforcements by now.
Yet, as Uchiha Fucheng was about to attack the remnants of the Rain Ninjas, the supporting White Zetsu were still nowhere to be seen.
[Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique]!
Doshin of the Land of Rain launched the first attack.
In an environment that was already raining, the effect of Water Release was exceptionally outstanding.
Like a flood tornado, a massive area of turbid water surged out from the side of the Rain Ninjas.
[Earth Release: Earth Wall]!
At the very center, Uchiha Fucheng released an Earth Release wall bearing the head of a Ninja Cat.
[Earth Release: Earth Style Wall]!
This was a collaborative Ninjutsu that extended more than ten meters along the center.
Two UchihaJonin provided Ninjutsu assistance.
The turbid giant waves hit the rock and earth wall, rolling back into the midst of the Land of RainNinjas.
Standing on the rock wall, the Uchiha Ninjas launched a second Fire-Wind combination Ninjutsu, executing it with zero-frame startup against the opponents.
[Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon + Wind Release: Great Breakthrough]!
The fire borrowed the force of the wind, and the wind aided the might of the fire!
Under the blowing of the Wind Release, the massive fire dragon expanded into a huge flame head over ten meters large, crashing into the crowd of Rain Ninjas like a meteorite.
Fucheng had no intention of ending the battle quickly.
His main attention was still on the three White Zetsu underground.
These remnants of the Rain Ninjas were perfect for training his subordinates, the Uchiha Ninjas.
Precisely because Fucheng did not go all out, Doshin of the Land of Rain developed a glimmer of wishful thinking.
He felt that although the opposing Uchiha Ninjas' attacks were sharp, there was no pressure of a desperate, fatal situation.
He simply adopted a posture of going all-out, intending to unleash a wave of ultimate output.
Three military ration pills and two bitter stimulant pills were swallowed in one gulp by Doshin.
The Land of RainNinjas beside him also took out their special potions and swallowed them, packaging and all.
This wild, desperate stance of the opponents made these young Uchiha, who were accustomed to fighting one-sided battles, subconsciously nervous...
