This White Zetsu with long-distance message transmission capability was definitely a variable. Yūshin thought carefully and ultimately decided to eliminate this group of shinobi world masterminds as much as possible.
Without White Zetsu "income," how could Yūshin become stronger? Without becoming stronger, how could he obtain more White Zetsu?
"By the way, haven't you exchanged intelligence with the group for some time?"
After some communication, these four White Zetsu decided to continue executing their mission, wanting to quickly catch up with the departed Uchiha Madara.
However, before leaving, they seemed to have some matters to brief Yūshin about.
Yūshin nodded and said: "I've been operating alone away from the group for some time."
"Not long ago, several individuals preparing to head to the Uchiha Clan to execute surveillance missions were suddenly eliminated simultaneously. Another individual nearby went to investigate the scene and suspects those individuals may have encountered deliberate ambush..."
"He thus speculates that someone may have detected our existence."
White Zetsu had lived for many years, so their sense of time was somewhat unique. Yūshin reacted and realized the other party's "not long ago" actually meant several months earlier, because that incident was obviously his doing.
Simultaneously, Yūshin detected that this White Zetsu's tone carried some indifference, so he prepared to conform to this attitude.
Yūshin put on an expression of memory loss but trying hard to recall, attempting to say:
"I don't know if my memory has problems... I remember years ago, there were similar rumors within the group? Afterward it was proven that some people were overly sensitive."
Yūshin's words were entirely guesswork, but he felt there wouldn't be any problems. He figured White Zetsu, having hidden in sewers for so many years, must have spread similar "false information" at certain times.
Of course, even if he guessed wrong, there wouldn't be any consequences—after all, he didn't want these four White Zetsu to continue living.
This White Zetsu was indeed very satisfied with Yūshin's reaction, saying:
"Indeed so. Almost every period brings such news, though it's understandable that some individuals are overly suspicious. After all, over the long years, our numbers have already lost the vast majority..."
Seeing the other party intended to leave directly, Yūshin knew he couldn't extract any more valuable information from these White Zetsu, which meant it was time for the "dust to dust, earth to earth" phase.
"Wait, there's one more thing..."
Seeing Yūshin approach as if having something important to explain, that White Zetsu with long-distance intelligence transmission capability showed a puzzled expression.
Then, when Yūshin unhurriedly came before this White Zetsu, without warning, he suddenly erupted in violence, his fist piercing through the White Zetsu's chest cavity!
"Lifted high~ Pain flies~"
Pain flies? So painful it flies!
This White Zetsu's body instantly curved into a shrimp shape, Yūshin's monstrous strength lifting the opponent's feet off the ground... The so-called "lifted high" was absolutely not playful—this was crucial.
As long as it didn't touch ground and remained airborne, the White Zetsu couldn't transmit information. The remaining White Zetsu lacked information transmission capability, meaning the White Zetsu group couldn't know what exactly happened here.
At such a distance, the White Zetsu main body couldn't possibly detect their deaths either. Until the next information exchange, the main body would probably assume these four White Zetsu were loyally executing their mission to monitor Uchiha Madara.
By that time, the White Zetsu's deaths would have nothing to do with Yūshin. Even if there were suspicious points, that would be Uchiha Madara's problem.
"You... you..."
This White Zetsu finally understood—the rumor was true. Someone really was purposefully hunting White Zetsu, and even more unexpectedly, this person was actually one of the White Zetsu!
"Run!"
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, knowing he must bring this message back, he immediately shouted to the other three White Zetsu.
Unfortunately, most of what Yūshin said to him was acting, but what he said to Yūshin was all true... The remaining three White Zetsu were indeed ordinary White Zetsu individuals.
The three White Zetsu's reaction was remarkably fast. Seeing this situation, they had no time to analyze causes and effects, almost simultaneously activating the Mayfly Technique, preparing to flee.
However...
Perhaps their Mayfly Technique activation process was slightly faster than Yūshin's, but having bodies merge into the ground ultimately required a process—needed to consume some time.
Yūshin violently extracted chakra from the White Zetsu's body. Seeing the other three half-merged into the ground, only then did he unhurriedly slam his foot thunderously onto the earth!
The ground suddenly collapsed, heavy soil surging outward like waves. The enormous pressure directly crushed the three White Zetsu's lower bodies.
The three White Zetsu's escape process instantly terminated.
Yūshin calmly moved forward, unhurriedly absorbing chakra from each of them.
At this moment, he hoped to obtain new chakra nature transformations from these White Zetsu. Not to mention anything else—he already had one Kekkei Genkai; couldn't he have a second or third?
But unfortunately, after recovering chakra from the first three White Zetsu, he could feel himself being strengthened, yet it wasn't the chakra nature enhancement he most hoped for.
Moreover, certain anomalies that followed left him temporarily unable to focus on experiencing exactly which aspects of himself had been enhanced.
Yūshin also seized chakra from the last White Zetsu, but this White Zetsu had obvious differences from the previous three.
Enormous differences, even making Yūshin involuntarily frown.
Put this way: what Yūshin obtained from the first three White Zetsu were "experience packs" as he expected, but this fourth White Zetsu was actually a "fuel pack"... The chakra obtained from this White Zetsu was identical to chakra seized from ninja.
Yūshin only obtained a burst of energy that would disappear after use—his basic attributes had no changes whatsoever.
"This... what exactly is happening? Are White Zetsu different from each other?"
This sudden change overturned Yūshin's long-held understanding, making him involuntarily freeze in place.
"Could I be having delusions?"
Yūshin began sensing changes in himself, then roughly experienced the effects of this batch of White Zetsu.
The first White Zetsu made his chakra perception incredibly acute. If expectations were correct, it would grant Yūshin certain sensory abilities.
The second White Zetsu enhanced Yūshin's "stats," improving his physique and both chakra quality and quantity to varying degrees.
The third White Zetsu had effects similar to the second.
The last White Zetsu... was indeed just a "fuel pack."
This bewildering feeling was like Yūshin clearly remembering stuffing four thousand yuan in his pocket, but when he took the money out to count later, no matter how he counted, only three thousand remained.
Where was the other thousand?
With such dramatic change, anyone would be sweating profusely with anxiety on the spot.
