[Rock Lee: Neji!!!]
[Might Guy: Neji!!!]
[Tenten: Lee, Guy-sensei, calm down! Did you forget? That wasn't the real Neji.]
[Neji Hyuga: That's right. It was a White Zetsu disguised as me.]
[Rock Lee: Uh… sorry. I got carried away and forgot.]
[Tsunade: But how did Amane realize that Neji was fake?]
[Jiraiya: Exactly. According to the intelligence, when White Zetsu transforms into someone, their chakra and presence are nearly identical. Could she sense their malice like Naruto can?]
[Kakashi Hatake: Not sure. Let's keep watching.]
[The screen continues…]
Seeing Amane cut off Neji's head with a single strike, Sakura was shocked.
Before she could react, the body gradually transformed into a white creature.
Sakura suddenly realized what had happened.
"That's White Zetsu! According to the intelligence Orochimaru provided, the ninja they impersonate have almost identical chakra and aura."
"But Amane… how did you realize he was fake?"
Amane replied calmly:
"The malice from that guy was overflowing. And his chakra had a slight difference as well."
Amane could detect White Zetsu for two reasons.
First, she often trained with Nagi, whose extraordinary sensory abilities had influenced her perception.
Second, she frequently sparred with Naruko.
To distinguish Naruko's Shadow Clones from the original body, the girls had trained their sensory skills relentlessly.
Their efforts had paid off.
They could now detect subtle differences in chakra.
"Wow… that's amazing."
Sakura couldn't help admiring Amane's ability.
Then she suddenly realized something and her expression changed dramatically.
"Wait—this is bad! If White Zetsu has started disguising themselves, that means they may have already infiltrated the Allied Forces!"
Amane nodded seriously.
"Sakura, you and I must contact headquarters immediately. And from now on, don't trust anyone—including me."
"Because White Zetsu could disguise themselves as me at any moment."
"I… I understand."
Sakura swallowed nervously.
For a moment, she felt as if she had fallen into a terrifying situation.
Fortunately, the two quickly contacted the communication unit.
After confirming the information with Amane, the message was immediately transmitted to headquarters.
Allied Forces Headquarters
"What?! White Zetsu has already infiltrated the Allied Forces?!"
Hearing this report, Tsunade, A, and the others were shocked.
"This is bad."
Just as they were considering countermeasures—
Inoichi Yamanaka urgently reported:
"Report! Several Allied units have been ambushed by shinobi disguised as White Zetsu."
Shikaku Nara frowned deeply.
"This is troublesome. Panic will spread through the army."
Just as everyone felt helpless—
Inoichi shouted again.
"Report! Samui of the First Division can accurately identify disguised White Zetsu."
"What?!"
Before anyone could react, he continued:
"Shizuka of the Second Division can also identify White Zetsu disguises.
Naruto Uzumaki, currently supporting the Third Division, can distinguish them as well.
Amane of the Medical Division can correctly identify disguised White Zetsu.
The Fourth Division, under Gaara's strict surveillance, has not been infiltrated yet.
The Fifth Division, thanks to Naruto's Shadow Clones, has also begun identifying the disguised White Zetsu."
After hearing this, Shikaku immediately issued an order.
"All Allied Forces except Samui, Shizuka, Amane, and Naruto Uzumaki are to halt operations immediately."
"They will focus on eliminating the White Zetsu infiltrators."
"Anyone acting without authorization will be treated as White Zetsu."
"Yes!"
Inoichi immediately relayed the order to all divisions.
Thus, the White Zetsu who had just infiltrated the Allied Forces were quickly exposed and eliminated by Samui and the others.
Watching from the shadows, Black Zetsu fumed with anger.
"Damn it… Naruto detecting them is one thing, but why can those three women detect White Zetsu disguises as well?"
"It seems this infiltration plan won't work anymore."
"We'll accumulate strength for now and launch a full assault during the day."
Meanwhile, in Konoha.
Inside Root headquarters, Nagi was meditating.
He slowly opened his eyes.
"Oh? The world channel has connected… and this chakra… Satsuki?"
He looked up through the skylight at the starry sky and smiled faintly.
"Oh my… so you've noticed already."
The Next Morning
After resting overnight, the Allied Shinobi Forces stood ready for battle.
White Zetsu began emerging from the ground one after another.
But this time, several of them were enormous, their bodies covered with multiple heads.
Black Zetsu had deployed the Merged White Zetsu into battle.
Soon after, the Reanimated shinobi also began appearing.
"Attack!"
"OOOHH!!" ×N
The Allied Forces charged forward and clashed with the enemy.
Third Division Battlefield
Kakashi and Guy engaged the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Sai and the others supported from the side.
Suddenly—
BOOM!
"AAAH!!"
An explosion injured many Allied shinobi.
Maki and Bunpuku looked over and saw the attacker.
It was Gari, the Explosion Release user.
At the same time—
"Earth Release: Tearing Earth Turning Palm!"
The ground split open and rushed toward the Allied forces.
Bunpuku quickly formed hand seals.
"Earth Release: Earth Wave!"
The ground shook violently, and the two earth techniques canceled each other out.
Looking at the approaching enemies, Bunpuku's expression grew serious.
"Fugai… Taiseki… Mahiru…"
Then his eyes widened.
"Wait—this is bad!"
"There's also Daishi, the one skilled in camouflage invisibility! Everyone watch your surroundings!"
But it was too late.
A silent figure appeared beside Maki.
It was Daishi.
He raised his blade and slashed downward.
At the last moment—
A Wind Release kunai shot forward at incredible speed, piercing through the invisible Daishi.
The Edo Tensei body of Daishi appeared, a large hole in his chest.
"Sealing Unit!"
Maki quickly reacted and used the Cloth Binding Technique to seal him.
"Hm?"
Mahiru sensed something.
But it was already too late.
A clear female voice shouted:
"Nadeshiko Style: Roaring Gale Fist!"
A black blur flashed across the battlefield.
In an instant—
Fugai, Taiseki, and Mahiru were blasted into fragments.
Everyone turned and saw a beautiful figure.
It was Shizuka.
Maki quickly sealed the shattered bodies.
Gari looked at Shizuka with a grave expression.
"So fast… I couldn't even see her move."
In the next moment—
Shizuka's figure vanished again.
Gari immediately scanned his surroundings.
But he didn't realize—
A kunai was already resting against his neck.
Without hesitation, Shizuka severed his head.
Just as Maki prepared to seal him with the cloth binding—
A bright orange fireball suddenly shot in and burned the sealing cloth.
Maki's eyes widened.
"Teacher Pakura?!"
