When we fought at the Shinobigakure Bridge, I took Obito away from him myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma shook his head with a faint smile—he knew the White Zetsu’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone wanted to flee, few could catch them unless it was him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since this White Zetsu with the swirl mask wasn’t an ordinary cultivated one—his abilities were still formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, being able to move freely through earth and vegetation was enough to be a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui Uchiha nodded and recounted his analysis of the swirl-masked man’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma listened, nodding repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui Uchiha truly had keen insight and exceptional analytical observation skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the other three also returned, all unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Shisui Uchiha, they reported to Fujinaka Genma the intelligence gathered during their pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After comparing their reports with Shisui’s, they confirmed their enemy all shared the same ability to vanish through earth and vegetation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui Uchiha immediately recalled the transformation technique Fujinaka Genma had used against the Mist ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, were all the ones who lured us away the swirl-masked man?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui Uchiha looked at Fujinaka Genma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma nodded. “That’s why I said this guy is still troublesome—he may not be strong in direct combat, but he has unique traits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He can hide underground, travel beneath the earth, and move through vegetation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And his transformation technique can mimic chakra perfectly. Judging by chakra alone, those three were Mist ninja—if Itachi didn’t communicate, Itachi’d never know if they were real or fake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui Uchiha and the other three were stunned. Shisui Uchiha then remembered his own test in the Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did my lord already have intelligence on this mysterious man?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito Uchiha thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go—but stay alert.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma said no more and gave the order to depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the eye extraction failed, the main goal of this mission had largely been achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Land of Rain, a certain cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Shuichi met up with the swirl-masked White Zetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now held the shattered mask. Though the time was brief, his identity had undoubtedly been exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder he’s called the God of Konoha—his Flying Thunder God has surpassed even the current Fourth Hokage and the buried Second Hokage, Hashirama Senju.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shuichi, this was an extremely dangerous mission. Thank goodness Itachi took my advice and cast Izanagi on yourself first—otherwise, Itachi’d be half-blind right now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swirl-masked White Zetsu chattered on, leaving Uchiha Shuichi with a helpless expression and a darkened face. “If your only goal was to mock me, Itachi’ve succeeded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But we must admit—we didn’t come away empty-handed. At least now we know Fujinaka Genma’s abilities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swirl-masked White Zetsu immediately countered: “So, dear Shuichi, have Itachi devised a way to deal with Fujinaka Genma yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, if he targets us, we’ll be in serious trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Shuichi’s face darkened further: “No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this time, I was just careless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have no good counter against him—but with Kamui, he can’t do anything to me either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swirl-masked White Zetsu shrugged, as if he’d exhausted his complaints. “Alright, alright—Itachi’re right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what do we do next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Konoha will soon reach an agreement with Hanzo. If the chaos in the Land of Rain ends, our operations will be severely restricted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, our original plan was to kill Hanzo and use the Hidden Rain Village as a perfect hidden base.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, that’s impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>",806,"2026-06-21T02:29:34.312Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e183699d93685ba8a72374e7bb3696348223f73e596ea325f5e9102766f93771","starting-off-with-horse-and-sword-in-konoha-chapter-146","starting-off-with-horse-and-sword-in-konoha-chapter-144",157,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-off-with-horse-and-sword-in-konoha-cover.jpg"]
