This chakra signature.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s gaze fixed on the forest ahead; moments later, his foot struck the ground like a landmine detonating, sending shards of red rock flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade flashes crisscrossed, slicing countless trees into splinters, green leaves scattering everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stood within the forest; within a ten-meter radius, not a single tree remained intact—not the result of his full power; had he unleashed his full blade slash, every tree within a hundred meters would have been reduced to fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s eyes scanned the surroundings, then stomped the ground, flooding it with Qinggangying energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a pop, the earth nearby exploded, spraying white sap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white sap resembled liquid yet possessed solid properties—it coalesced into irregular shapes, writhing across the ground like a giant crawling creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this white organism, Su Xiao’s eyes lit up—he knew what it was: a White Zetsu cell clone, also called the Spore Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding a White Zetsu clone—how far could the Akatsuki be now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Zetsu’s stealth was exceptional—even sensory-type ninja couldn’t detect him—but Su Xiao’s intuition had sensed his presence; White Zetsu’s chakra hovered between life and energy, allowing it to evade most perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stepped forward and yanked the irregularly shaped White Zetsu clone directly from the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cell clone had no subjective consciousness—it was likely a coordinate marker and surveillance device left by White Zetsu to monitor whether anyone approached this abandoned outpost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cell clone clambered up Su Xiao’s arm, attempting to absorb Qinggangying energy; Su Xiao immediately flung it off—if the clone absorbed Qinggangying energy, it would be the clone that suffered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Su Xiao discarded the clone, Amu strode forward, seized one of its legs with a single hand, swung his thick arm violently, and slammed the clone into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud! Thud! Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust rose, soil erupted, and a series of craters formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, the clone tried to cling to Amu, but after being slammed for a full minute, it grew much more docile, beginning to twitch involuntarily, its surface coated in thick ice crystals—the result of Amu’s Frost ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amu stared with ox-like eyes, confirmed the clone was sufficiently subdued, then tossed it before Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Zetsu cell clone was now truly subdued—beyond occasional spasms, it barely moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao did not stop Amu; he had been considering how to use this clone to contact White Zetsu, and Amu’s beating might well draw White Zetsu’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour passed quickly; the ice crystals on the clone vanished, and it gradually became more active, attempting to burrow into the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Amu, continue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had Su Xiao spoken than Amu strode forward, gripping the clone’s leg with practiced ease…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the clone lay motionless on the ground, its occasional spasms the only sign of lingering life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>External force seemed unable to attract White Zetsu’s notice—perhaps he had abandoned this clone, or perhaps he was fully occupied elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing this, Su Xiao hesitated, then produced a metal syringe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The syringe pierced the clone’s neck, injecting its pale green liquid into the clone’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao immediately stepped back; Bubu Wang did the same; Amu paused briefly, then stepped between Su Xiao and Bubu Wang, showing clear protective instinct, while Bubu Wang scanned the surroundings—he excelled at stealth and reconnaissance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clone on the ground convulsed; the White Zetsu face began to swell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack! Crack! Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clone rapidly proliferated, soon growing into a massive entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, in the forest near Konoha, White Zetsu, who had been monitoring Konoha’s movements, froze—first puzzled, then utterly incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Original Senju cells?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Zetsu realized that one of his cell clones had been injected with Original Senju cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Original Senju cells were the cells from Senju Hashirama’s living body; the Senju cells studied by Orochimaru, Danzō, and others were harvested from Hashirama’s corpse after his death—no one needed to guess: the difference was immense, the former’s value far exceeding the latter by countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a handful in the Naruto world possessed Original Senju cells—the Senju clan did, since Hashirama had once been their clan head; beyond the Senju, only Obito and Uchiha Madara possessed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Madara was dead; Obito could not possibly have injected Original Senju cells into a White Zetsu clone—and White Zetsu faintly sensed that the cells injected into his clone had undergone multiple optimizations and modifications, drastically reducing the risk of tree-like transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Zetsu was baffled, but he could not ignore this matter; after a few seconds of hesitation, he abandoned monitoring Konoha and began contacting Obito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, White Zetsu received Obito’s reply—the response was strange: he was to welcome an Akatsuki member who had been missing for nearly a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito guessed that Su Xiao was behind this—not because he was prescient, but because the Original Senju cells Su Xiao held had originally come from Obito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito would never have given such a precious thing to Su Xiao lightly—but the bargaining chip Su Xiao offered made refusal impossible: Kakashi’s Sharingan—the very Sharingan Obito had “lost.” How could Obito possibly refuse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Zetsu sank into the earth and began moving at super-high speed—he and Su Xiao were both within the Land of Fire, and not far apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour later, in the forest where Su Xiao stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pitcher plant emerged from a tree—not only White Zetsu had arrived; Black Zetsu had come too. White Zetsu and Black Zetsu were two distinct entities, but among Akatsuki members, they disguised themselves as one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? It’s Byakuya? I thought he died when he and Nagato attacked Konoha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Zetsu spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be quiet. Byakuya’s temper isn’t good—he might just chop you up if he gets angry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Zetsu’s voice was hoarse and low; his personality was entirely different from White Zetsu’s—White Zetsu was like a naive boy, curious about everything and occasionally surprised, while Black Zetsu was calm and seasoned, like an ancient elder—indeed, he was one, a being from Kaguya’s era—no, he was more accurately a consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>",1285,"2026-06-19T23:49:56.324Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4efbdc94dd9a428b3d42a25d7c5fe4da10ea999d03fb05afc8237a5e19cbb0a9","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-990","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-988",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
