In just a moment, the expanding white mass transformed into White Zetsu.
At this time, a large group of White Zetsu knelt on one knee, facing the Presidential Platform, and simultaneously shouted in unison,
"Hokage-sama, the mission is complete! Please instruct us on the next course of action!"
Black Zetsu!
Tomoki knew without a doubt, almost immediately, that this was Black Zetsu's doing. After all, the true leader of the White Zetsu had always been Black Zetsu alone.
It seemed Black Zetsu had realized he was being used.
The actions and words of the White Zetsu made many people present feel suspicious. They had clearly heard Ōnoki's final shout earlier.
Seeing that even Mei Terumī's gaze towards him was filled with vigilance, Tomoki did not feel discouraged.
Tomoki had never underestimated Black Zetsu, nor would he use him like a fool.
"Everyone, why are you looking at me? Any Genin in Konoha understands that you cannot trust the words of an enemy. These white monsters are currently fighting your subordinates, aren't they?"
Everyone thought to themselves, when did you ever think we weren't enemies of Konoha?
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it's impossible to completely eradicate it. Tomoki also didn't expect to dispel their suspicions by simply reasoning with them.
"Saving the Land of Earth and Iwagakure cannot be accomplished with just a few words. The Tsuchikage has been dealt with by me; his subordinates are now up to you. Do not remain indifferent, or I will doubt whether you are truly acting with Konoha for justice and for peace in the Ninja World!"
What can unite people, making them cast aside prejudice and hatred, besides the immense crisis in the original story, also includes immense benefits.
It's hard to compare which situation makes people more united, but since there's no crisis for now, benefits became the only option.
Rasa was the quickest to react, not because Tomoki's words made sense, but because Sunagakure needed this opportunity the most.
As for whether everything was a Konoha conspiracy, did it matter?
With a wave of his hand, a square block of gold dust flew downwards, changing shape in the air. Spikes, like long spears, directly pierced through more than a dozen White Zetsu.
Following Rasa's actions, Mei Terumī, Darui, and the others present also took action, joining the ranks to encircle and kill the White Zetsu.
Some individuals even bickered over the same target, while Tomoki sat in his chair, smiling as he watched it all unfold.
The Ninja World truly is full of people who love peace!
He couldn't understand why Madara would be disappointed with such a beautiful world and pursue the elusive peace of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Perhaps he hadn't read much.
Outside Konoha Village, the commanders of various units also received orders to fully assist Sunagakure and Kumogakure in encircling and suppressing the Iwagakure Ninja.
----------
Time returned to the moment the turmoil began.
Konoha Experimental Building, R&D Department Head's Office.
Keigetsu took out two small, thumb-sized bottles from her Pregnant and placed them on the desk.
"Hatake Jonin, these are mission items that the Clan Head-sama asked me to give you. The method of use is very simple: just drip them into your Sharingan."
After explaining the method, Keigetsu continued,
"One of them needs to be used immediately now, and the other Hatake Jonin needs to judge the timing of its use himself."
Kakashi nodded and picked up the two plastic bottles from the desk.
"There's no time to lose, act quickly. It has already begun!"
Kakashi didn't speak. Although the mission Tomoki assigned him seemed nonsensical, and what he was supposed to do was very vague, Kakashi still chose to accept the mission.
Opening one of the bottles, Kakashi adjusted his forehead protector and dripped the liquid into his left eye.
As the liquid entered his left eye, Kakashi felt a tremor in his Sharingan.
Then, a powerful force surged from his left eye. Kakashi, who had already received Tomoki's scroll on Sharingan usage techniques,
instantly recognized this power as the dōjutsu power of the Sharingan. A cool sensation enveloped his Sharingan.
Kakashi had never felt such ease. At this moment, his Sharingan no longer felt like a burden on his body, but rather had become his strongest weapon.
Without time to savor this feeling, Kakashi remembered the mission briefing.
Right there in Keigetsu's office, he used the dōjutsu in his left eye, focusing his gaze on the air half a meter in front of him.
Kakashi controlled the continuously surging dōjutsu power, injecting it into a specific part of his Sharingan.
[Kamui!]
A distorted space appeared in front of Kakashi. Without hesitation, Kakashi plunged into it.
This was an incredibly dim space, vast and with no discernible end.
Kakashi stood on a Presidential Platform, looking around with extreme vigilance.
With his left eye, Kakashi could see every detail around him, but no matter how he looked, the entire space contained nothing but countless Presidential Platforms of varying sizes.
There was nothing else.
As for the enemy mentioned in the mission, he couldn't even see their shadow.
However, Kakashi did not use the second dose of medicine to break through the space and leave. Instead, he disguised himself and waited silently.
