This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 382 Capture Alive

This alley on the edge of Konoha New District is usually deserted.

The afterglow of the setting sun was blocked by the tall buildings, making the alleyway appear particularly dark and damp.

White Zetsu, controlling the Iwagakure ninja, hummed a cheerful tune as he carried bags of spoils and walked briskly into the depths of the dead end.

"Alright, this is fine." Bai Jue muttered to himself.

He manipulated the Iwagakure ninja's hands, carefully hanging the storage scrolls filled with ice cream, massage chairs, thermal underwear, and "Make-Out Paradise" on his waist.

"When we get back to the underground, Lord Madara will definitely praise me. That boring Black Zetsu will be insanely jealous, hahaha!"

He skillfully dispelled the possession.

The Iwagakure ninja's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, losing consciousness.

From his back, a pale white, half-human, half-plant-like strange substance flowed out like liquid, quickly condensing on the ground into the shape of a White Zetsu.

Bai Jue patted off non-existent dust from his body and held the scrolls tightly in his arms.

"Alright, it's time to go home!"

He formed a mudra with his hands.

"The art of the mayfly!"

A peculiar chakra fluctuation emanated from White Zetsu's body. He habitually leaned back, preparing to merge seamlessly into the hard stone slab beneath his feet, as always, and traverse the veins of the earth.

however.

"Bang!"

A dull thud echoed through the empty alley.

"Ouch!"

Bai Jue let out a scream, clutching the back of his head, and lay sprawled on the ground. His pale face was filled with astonishment and confusion.

"What happened? The stone has hardened?"

He stubbornly got up, formed hand seals again, and increased his chakra output.

"The art of the mayfly! Get in!"

He suddenly lunged headfirst into the wall beside him.

"Thump!"

Another muffled thud. Bai Jue covered his nose, tears welling up in his eyes from the pain.

The wall remained a wall, cold and hard, showing no sign of merging with his chakra.

"This...this is impossible!" White Zetsu's eyes widened in horror. "How did my Mayfly Technique fail?!"

Just as he frantically groped around, trying to find a crevice in the ground he could crawl into.

"Are you surprised, little mouse?"

A hoarse voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, suddenly rang out at the entrance of the alley.

Bai Jue shuddered and abruptly turned his head.

At the entrance of the alley, a man dressed in a dark gray kimono had been standing there for some time.

His golden vertical pupils were fixed on Bai Jue with a fanatical gaze, as if he were looking at a lab rat.

"Orochimaru... Orochimaru?!" White Zetsu gasped. As Madara's intelligence agent, he naturally recognized one of Konoha's legendary ninja.

"What are you doing here?!"

Orochimaru slowly pulled his hands out of his sleeves and walked step by step toward White Zetsu, a cold smile curving his lips.

"I've been watching your shopping spree ever since you stepped into Konoha's new district."

Orochimaru stopped ten steps away from White Zetsu, his gaze sweeping over the scrolls tightly clutched in White Zetsu's arms, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"Aren't you curious why your earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a technique that allows you to burrow underground) stopped working?"

White Zetsu didn't speak, but stared intently at Orochimaru, his body instinctively retreating until his back hit the cold wall.

"Actually, when the Konoha New District was first being planned, Nishikawa Tetsu, that cautious guy, specifically came to me."

Orochimaru licked his lips, seemingly enjoying the cat-and-mouse game.

"To prevent any potential problems, I have specifically researched a counter-barrier based on your cellular structure and chakra frequency."

Orochimaru pointed to the stone slabs under his feet and the surrounding walls.

"When I was building the underground pipe network in the new district, I casually inscribed these barrier runes, which can prevent the fusion of chakra from specific plants, into the foundation of the entire new district."

Bai Jue's eyes widened, his voice trembling: "Then...then why was I able to get in before?!"

"Heh heh heh..." Orochimaru let out a low laugh. "If I didn't shut down the barrier, how could you have swaggered in like that, and how could I have tracked your movements?"

"Now, it's about time. So, the door should be closed."

Bai Jue's heart sank to the bottom.

He finally realized that his supposedly flawless infiltration and reconnaissance were actually being watched by someone else!

He was like a lab rat deliberately placed in a cage, while the cage's owner stood outside, observing his every move with great interest.

"Escape! We must escape and deliver the information to Lord Madara!"

Only this one thought remained in Bai Jue's mind.

He gritted his teeth and glanced at the gift scrolls in his arms that he had originally intended to use to please Lord Madara.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Ban! I'll buy you the massage chair and 'Icha Icha Paradise' next time!"

With a roar, White Zetsu unhesitatingly hurled all the scrolls filled with supplies at Orochimaru's face!

"Take this! Ice Cream Bomb!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The reel unfurled in mid-air.

Orochimaru frowned slightly. Of course, he wouldn't be hurt by such a small trick, but he also didn't want his clothes to get dirty from those sweet ice creams and boring junks.

He flashed and disappeared from the spot like a ghost, deftly dodging the flying scroll.

"Bang bang bang!"

The scroll fell to the ground, scattering massage chairs, thermal underwear, and several brightly colored copies of "Intimate Paradise" all over the place.

Taking advantage of Orochimaru's moment of evasion, White Zetsu suddenly exerted force with his legs, trying to jump over the wall and escape.

"You're not so naive as to think you can escape from me, are you?"

Orochimaru's icy voice boomed directly in White Zetsu's ear.

Before White Zetsu could even leap up, several thick, giant pythons suddenly shot out from Orochimaru's sleeves with lightning speed!

"hiss--!"

"Hidden Shadows, Many Snake Hands!"

The giant python opened its blood-red maw and instantly coiled around Bai Jue's limbs and neck, pinning him firmly to the wall.

"Let...let me go..." White Zetsu struggled desperately, but his strength seemed so insignificant in the face of these specially made summoning snakes.

Orochimaru walked up to White Zetsu, his golden vertical pupils flashing with undisguised fanaticism.

"To catch you, I specifically targeted your cellular characteristics and injected a high concentration of chakra inhibitors into the fangs of these snakes."

Orochimaru extended a pale finger and touched White Zetsu's forehead.

"Sealing Seal for Evil!"

The black runes spread rapidly from Orochimaru's fingertips like a spider web across White Zetsu's entire body, sealing off all his chakra flow.

White Zetsu's body twitched violently, his eyes rolled back, and he completely lost the ability to resist.

"We finally caught one alive."

Orochimaru looked at the White Zetsu, who was tightly bound by snakes, with satisfaction, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.

"Your physical structure can provide me with a lot of wonderful inspiration for my research in the field of life sciences."

Orochimaru pulled a specially made sealing scroll from his sleeve and sealed the defenseless White Zetsu inside like a package of goods.

After doing all this, Orochimaru turned his head and glanced at the items scattered on the ground.

His gaze lingered for a moment on the suggestive cover of "Intimate Paradise".

"That boring stuff Jiraiya wrote..." Orochimaru curled his lip in disgust, but after thinking for a moment, he still stretched out a few small snakes and rolled the undamaged items on the ground back into the storage scroll.

Orochimaru put away his scroll, his figure turning into a wisp of white smoke and disappearing into the dark alley.

Only the unfortunate Rock Ninja, still unconscious, remained lying on the cold stone slab.
