Chapter 21 Prequel Mission 1: Hei Jue Delivers a Bicycle
As for the existence of such a creature as "radish spirit", Itachi and Shisui, like Zabuza, refused to believe in it in their hearts.
But Bai Jue, who was obviously different from ordinary humans and could not be seen in disguise, was standing in front of them. Both of them were a little disillusioned...
Because of the appearance of White Zetsu, the tense atmosphere between Itachi, Shisui and Zabuza was alleviated a lot.
Shingon didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. After all, he had accepted the existence of chakra very well. He believed that people in the ninja world would also be able to accept the fact that chakra could turn radishes into spirits.
Zhenyan invited everyone into the house and asked Bai Jue to prepare a few cups of radish juice to treat everyone.
Itachi took the carrot juice, but his eyes were always on Bai Jue. He was a little suspicious about the source of the carrot juice in the cup...
Shisui and Zabuza had similar reactions. As for the unknown liquid in the cup, the three of them clearly had no intention of drinking it.
Only Bai took the cup and said, "Thank you, Uncle Radish." Then he took a sip out of curiosity.
As for Zhenyan, he didn't drink the radish juice either, because he directly took a fresh radish and ate it. Seeing the three people in a daze, he reminded them: "Why don't you drink it? This radish is sweet and delicious, not spicy."
Itachi: “…”
Shisui: “…”
Zabuza: “…”
Shingon took a bite of the radish and nodded with great satisfaction. Although Uchiha Fugaku did not allow him to use chakra to grow crops, these radishes were grown by Zabuza using water jutsu. The radishes absorbed the water jutsu chakra, and both the texture and taste were much better than the real radishes. Shingon felt that if such radishes were sold, the sales would definitely be good.
"Is it not to your taste?" Bai Jue also asked, "Would you like to add sugar or salt?"
Itachi: “…”
Shisui: “…”
Zabuza: “…”
"It would be nice if we could add some pearls." Zhenyan said suddenly.
"Pearl?" Bai wrinkled her face and said, "It will hurt my teeth..."
"I'm talking about the kind of pearls that can be eaten." Zhenyan explained. He remembered the pearl milk tea he drank before, but although he had drunk it before, he didn't know how to make it. But now that he has come to the ninja world, he can innovate according to the situation in the ninja world...
"If I could compress the chakra into small pearls and put them into carrot juice, I wonder what they would taste like?" Zhenyan suddenly had an idea.
"If it's wind chakra, the taste of the radish juice should be more refreshing. Fire chakra may not be suitable. If it's lightning chakra, the taste must be very explosive." Bai Jue said very flatteringly, "You are worthy of being Master Zhenyan. I will record it now and try it next time~"
Itachi: “…”
Shisui: “…”
Zabuza: “…”
The three of them suddenly felt that the glass of carrot juice in front of them was not so strange. At least there were no strange chakra pearls in it...
Itachi and Shisui's trip was ultimately ended by a glass of radish juice. After returning, the two reported Zabuza's situation and the appearance of the radish spirit truthfully...
"Radish Spirit?" Uchiha Fugaku suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Mangon had told him about the radish spirit. At that time, he didn't know that Mangon had been using Wood Release to farm. Now it seems that the radish spirit is very likely a wooden clone created by Mangon when he used Wood Release Ninjutsu without knowing it.
The reason why Shingon left the "radish spirit" behind was probably to monitor the two foreign ninjas, so they could leave them behind to observe. However, this incident reminded Uchiha Fugaku that the fact that Shingon had awakened Wood Release could not be kept secret forever.
Uchiha Fugaku had thought of many possibilities on how to solve the problem, and finally found that if the person in charge of the village was an Uchiha, then this matter would become very easy. He also thought of the various prejudices that his clansmen had suffered in recent years, and he inevitably felt a little unbalanced.
He didn't want to cause trouble, but if there was a chance to change the situation of Uchiha, he would not let it go. Now that Shingon had produced a plan, if the village was to undergo reform, Uchiha might be able to seize the opportunity and give it a try...
...
On the other side, Bai Jue delivered a message to Hei Jue and also sent a basket of carrots.
"Before Zhenyan left, he specifically asked me to deliver it to you." Bai Jue said.
Hei Jue took the radish. Even though he basically didn't need to eat, it was Zhen Yan's intention.
Ever since he last saw the true meaning, Black Zetsu has been looking at Obito more and more displeased. The same goes for Madara. Although he had rewritten the stone tablet, he did not rewrite the content about Kaguya Ōtsutsuki being sealed by the Six Paths Sage. He only rewrote the content about the Infinite Tsukuyomi. When Madara saw the content on the stone tablet, the only thing he could think of was to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create peace?
For a whole thousand years, the Uchiha stone tablet stood there, but no one thought of rescuing the sealed grandmother? There is really no harm without comparison...
"Does Zhenyan need any more help?" Hei Jue asked Bai Jue, "You can send a few more Bai Jue over there."
There are a lot of Byakuzetsu, but they are kept underground as a hidden power and have not been activated.
Bai Jue shook his head: "Not necessary at the moment, there are Zabuza and Bai from Kirin there."
Hei Zetsu nodded. When he was observing Shingon before, he naturally discovered Zabuza and Haku. Later, when he learned that the two were helping Shingon, he asked Obito to stop chasing the two.
Zabuza and Haku were being hunted down because Zabuza had previously assassinated the Mizukage, and the current Mizukage is controlled by Obito.
The reason for such a complicated situation is that during the Third Ninja World War, the Hidden Mist Village captured Nohara Rin from Konoha Village, sealed the Three-Tails in her body, and then deliberately let her go, intending to use Nohara Rin to bring the Three-Tails back to Konoha, thereby severely damaging Konoha. Nohara Rin noticed this, and in order to protect the village, she used Kakashi's attack on the enemy to commit suicide.
Uchiha Obito happened to witness this scene. Nohara Rin and Kakashi were the two most important companions to him, especially Nohara Rin, who was the girl he liked when he was in ninja school. Witnessing the girl he liked die at the hands of another companion, Obito was strongly stimulated and even opened his Mangekyō Sharingan.
In the past, Obito would miss the opening and graduation ceremonies of school because of helping an old lady. He would be so hot-blooded that he would consider his companions more important than the mission. Obito, who was stimulated, had his sense of belief completely collapsed. He denied the entire real world, so he would attack his former teacher Minato Namikaze, and he would control the Mizukage to take revenge on the Hidden Mist Village, simply because he no longer cared about such a world. He placed all his hopes on the future infinite world of Tsukiya.
The Infinite Tsukuyomi is a ninjutsu that allows everyone to enter an illusion and enjoy peace and beauty. It is also an important part of resurrecting Kaguya Otsutsuki. Although Obito inherited Uchiha Madara's idea and aimed at the Infinite Tsukuyomi, he mixed it with too much personal emotion.
Black Zetsu waited for a thousand years for this opportunity. He didn't want anything to happen, and was very lucky to meet Shingon. Shingon was different from Obito and Madara. He put rescuing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki first, and even started preparing for the return of his grandmother...
Thinking of this, Hei Zetsu found Scorpion of the Xiao Organization and asked about the progress of the bicycle production.
Scorpion was making a puppet. Hei Jue came over. He didn't even raise his head, but just pointed to the wall.
Hei Jue looked over and saw a two-wheeled bicycle placed against the wall. It looked similar to the drawing that Zhen Yan had given him.
Hei Jue had never used a bike before, and he didn't know what kind of bike was good. He just felt that the bike in front of him seemed a bit flimsy and didn't look very sturdy.
The bicycle is a gift from him, the elder, to Zhenyan, so it must not be too shabby.
"Is this car sturdy?" Hei Jue asked Scorpion.
Scorpion glanced at Hei Zetsu, stretched out a hand, and connected the chakra lines in his hand to the bicycle, and the wheels of the bicycle actually started to turn by themselves.
"It can be driven by chakra. If used in battle, the chakra flowing through the bicycle structure can be used for defense." Scorpio said. Compared with the complex puppet, the structure of the bicycle is a bit too simple, but for Scorpio who pursues art, even a simple work must be made as perfect as possible.
...
Two days later, Shinyan received the bicycle sent by Bai Zetsu. The bicycle looked similar to what he remembered, except that there was a scorpion-shaped logo on the body. It seemed that the craftsmen in the ninja world were quite brand-conscious. !
