Chapter 85 After the rain, the sky is sunny
At the same time, several kilometers away from the Akatsuki, Black Zetsu and Danzo, who had been lurking underground for a long time, finally resurfaced.
Danzo collapsed to his knees as soon as he emerged, panting heavily. Many of his wounds had reopened, making his injuries even more severe.
After catching his breath for a while, Danzo finally asked, panting, "Who are you? Why did you save me?"
Black Zetsu remained silent for a long time, barely suppressing the urge to slap Danzo and call him a piece of trash. He suppressed his rage and said, "You don't need to know who I am. You only need to know that we have a common goal."
He then added fiercely, as if explaining to Danzo, or perhaps speaking to himself.
"Shiba Kiyokawa, and Akatsuki too, this isn't over!"
As the sun began to set, the long day was finally coming to an end. No matter how unwilling Black Zetsu was, he had to admit that he had lost the game today.
The Land of Rain was completely taken over by the Akatsuki organization, and Nagato failed to turn to the dark side as he wished. In fact, he even lost two White Zetsu with advanced intelligence!
Two plants! That takes up a third of his underground stockpile!
This loss caused Black Zetsu such heartache that he could hardly breathe.
Meanwhile, after sunset, Shiba Kiyokawa was also summarizing and reviewing the day's games.
Today, this long day has come to an end. Although the final result is gratifying, the process was also filled with many thrills and twists.
Both he and his opponent had their moments of brilliance, but also made mistakes.
His best move was to launch an attack early and strike first!
They launched their attack before Hanzo and Danzo could complete their conspiracy, catching them off guard and preventing them from joining forces, thus gaining the upper hand!
However, his next move did not yield a good result.
He kept Nagato and Kakuzu by his side at the same time, actually with the intention of fishing.
Kakuzu's ability to sense the heart allows him to locate Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.
If the enemy takes the bait unprepared and gets close to Nagato, he will have a full chance to seal Black Zetsu with the help of everyone on the front lines!
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.
This move ultimately failed, otherwise there would have been a chance to wrap up filming for the Infinite Tsukuyomi series directly!
Instead, his opponent seized the opportunity and almost turned the tables on him!
He really hadn't expected Black Zetsu to suddenly change his base.
Leaving Yahiko behind was a last resort.
Because Yahiko was too stubborn and insisted on not starting a war, and as the former leader, Yahiko also had a certain prestige in the organization, keeping him on the front line would have a negative impact on morale and command.
They thought that staying at home would allow him to make the most of his remaining years, but they never expected it to almost lead to disaster.
Black Zetsu made a brilliant move.
However, in the end, Shiba Kiyokawa managed to turn the tide by taking advantage of his opponent's slight greed!
Black Zetsu was too greedy. He couldn't bear to kill Yahiko directly, but instead wanted to use White Zetsu to parasitize Yahiko.
At this time, Shiba Kiyokawa was unaware that this was actually something Black Zetsu had been forced into by him.
This timeline is different from the original story, and Yahiko is no longer the only person who has a significant impact on Nagato.
Black Zetsu was also worried that killing only Yahiko would not be enough to corrupt Nagato.
His plan was not only to kill Yahiko after parasitizing him, but also to manipulate the situation to pin the blame on Shiba Kiyokawa, causing Nagato to be completely abandoned by everyone!
Little did they know that this gave Shiba Kiyokawa an opportunity to counterattack!
For the past month, Shiba Kiyokawa had been practicing sealing techniques diligently every day, all for this moment!
He painstakingly created the Three-Phase Sealing Technique, precisely to seal White Zetsu.
Sealing Hanzo's poison sac was a hoax, but sealing White Zetsu was definitely a perfect match, fulfilling the same requirements!
Just as Cinderella's feet met her dancing shoes, the author of the 3D section met Tifa—it was a perfect match.
In the end, Black Zetsu's attempt to steal a chicken backfired, not only failing to kill Yahiko but also giving his opponent two White Zetsu!
Although Yahiko is still in a coma, the injection of White Zetsu has already healed his wounds, allowing his body to escape danger ahead of time.
The only remaining question is how to separate White Zetsu, or more precisely, how to extract White Zetsu's consciousness and soul from Yahiko.
If he succeeds, Yahiko will not only be unharmed, but he might even benefit from the misfortune and further improve his strength.
Both sides had their moments of brilliance in this match, but in the end, Shiba Kiyokawa was better prepared and won the game!
As night fell, the surviving Akatsuki members used ninjutsu to repair some of the houses, and the rain that had been falling all day stopped at that moment.
The sky over the Land of Rain has finally cleared of its gloom.
After the rain, the sky clears, and everything feels reborn!
That night, Shiba Kiyokawa didn't rush back to the northern front. Instead, he stayed at the base to help treat the wounded and organize repairs.
After a busy night, he only managed a short nap in the early hours of the morning. The next morning, he got up early to prepare to leave for the north to take charge of the overall situation.
But then, Kaori Uzumaki suddenly came to find him, looking somewhat haggard, and hesitated several times before speaking.
"What's wrong, Sister Xiangye? You don't need to be so reserved in front of me."
Shiba Kiyokawa took the initiative to offer words of comfort.
Xiangye then mustered up her courage and said, "Qinghe, could you please go and check on Nagato again? He still seems a bit off."
I...I don't know how to comfort her, I'm so useless.
As Xiangye spoke, she lowered her head, as if she were lost in deep self-reproach.
With such a gentle and docile nature, it's no wonder she was bullied so badly by the Grass Ninja in the original work.
Upon hearing this, Shiba Kiyokawa stepped forward and gently raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
This action immediately made Xiangye blush.
"It's alright, Xiangye-nee, take me to see Nagato, I'll help persuade him too."
Don't blame yourself. You were our biggest hero yesterday! We would have been finished without you.
Kaori looked up at Shiba Kiyokawa in disbelief, "Really?"
"Really!" Shiba Kiyokawa answered decisively.
I've read the original story. Without you, apart from Xiao Nan, we would all die.
Outsiders only saw the coolness of Shiba Kiyokawa's Personality Correction Fist sending Nagato flying, but they didn't know how dangerous it was for Nagato to tremble and form hand seals at that moment!
Having read the plot, Shiba Kiyokawa knew very well that the seal was most likely a form of spirit communication!
A summoning jutsu to summon the Gedo Mazo!
At that time, the Rinnegan was attempting to manipulate Nagato and summon its associated components.
If successful, the tragedy from the original story will be repeated in this world!
Fortunately, Nagato in this timeline has many bonds that didn't exist in the original work!
A red thread called kinship bound him together, and his affection for his relatives temporarily suppressed the control of the Sage's Eye, giving Shiba Kiyokawa a chance to correct his personality.
Therefore, Shiba Kiyokawa's gratitude at this moment is genuine!
Saving Xiangye and fabricating an identity for her became the most crucial move in his own transformation and reversal of fortune.
But Sakura Leaf was unaware of these things.
Faced with Shiba Kiyokawa's earnest gratitude, her heart suddenly started beating very fast.
This was the gratitude, respect, and feedback she had never received in the past, despite all the sacrifices she had made in Kusagakure.
She suddenly thought greedily: If only she could have met Qinghe and Xiao sooner...
