Although both are products of Yin-Yang Escape, White Zetsu and Black Zetsu are actually not one and the same.
Being possessed by White Zetsu greatly improves combat power, but is extremely restricted by one's own qualifications.
Black Zetsu does not directly enhance combat power, but it significantly improves vitality and has a great impact on the possessed person...
What is even more difficult to guard against is that as long as Black Zetsu connects to the earth veins and escapes a little bit of his spirit, he can escape and avoid any inevitable death.
Of course, this method can also be used to launch a surprise attack on enemies who are unaware of Black Zetsu's true abilities.
Nagato is not Black Zetsu's enemy. His status is similar to that of a humanoid prop, just a pawn to achieve the goal.
In a corner where no one paid attention, a black shadow gradually spread along the ground veins, wrapped around Nagato's legs, which had basically lost feeling, and then slowly moved upwards, circling around the body, intending to cover Nagato's head. Half of his face instantly turned pitch black.
"When did you actually have this ability?"
His body was restrained in an instant, and his whole body was almost exhausted. Nagato was completely unable to resist being controlled by Black Zetsu.
"You traitors!"
At the critical moment, Xiaonan acted without hesitation, and the paper shuriken shot towards Juefei. The guy with ulterior motives who originally had a yin-yang face now had no black face.
Although White Zetsu is not weak in its original form, he does not have very strong direct combat capabilities. Compared with a strong man like Konan, he is still somewhat inferior.
Knowing that he was powerless to confront it head-on and that Black Zetsu had already succeeded, White Zetsu naturally would not cause any more trouble and kept avoiding it.
At the same time, Pain Tendo was unable to function because his main body, Nagato, was attacked, and Jiraiya, who had been looking for an opportunity, burned him to ashes without hesitation using the Senjutsu Goemon.
The Six Paths of Pain, which were originally capable of both offense and defense and had strong combat power, were all wiped out.
If the matter ended here, neither side would be satisfied with the current result. The Akatsuki organization suffered heavy losses, and after mobilizing a large army, they only captured the three-tailed Isozaki.
The joint forces of Konoha and the Hidden Mist Village also suffered heavy losses. Not only did they gain nothing, they also failed to capture the Three-Tails. The only person who was certain to be dead was Uchiha Itachi, whose identity was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. Even Hoshigaki Kisame was only seriously injured and was likely still alive.
Since everyone feels that they have lost, the battle must naturally continue.
Nagato, who was possessed by Black Zetsu, began to emit his last brilliance as if he was having a last gasp. Black Zetsu forced him to squeeze out the last of his body's vitality to gain strength. Not only did he control the Outer Path Statue to start moving again, he also used Shinra Tensei to deflect Konan's attack that was close at hand, and at the same time controlled gravity to make himself fly into the air.
"Are you no longer concerned about the Tailed Beast Cannon's sniping?"
Of course, it is also possible that he has already understood the limits of his side. Super-powerful attack methods such as the Tailed Beast Ball and the Tailed Beast Cannon cannot be used continuously by conventional means.
Nagato flew into the air without making any sound and ignoring anyone's temptation. He launched all his attacks, then spread his hands and used the greatest Rinnegan secret technique in history - Chibaku Tensei.
A pitch-black sphere floated out from Nagato's palm, and super-strong gravity appeared again. The ground was torn apart by the huge force, and then it rose from the ground and attached to the black ball. A huge sealing stone ball appeared and continued to grow.
Uchiha Obito, who saw the opportunity early, used Kamui to evacuate. The people below who were swept by the gravitational waves could only barely maintain their footing.
Uzumaki Naruto, who was the target of the attack, took off from the ground and flew towards the Chibaku Tensei in mid-air.
Although he kept jumping down with the help of flying stones, he still couldn't escape the fate of being pulled closer and closer.
"Did they change people?"
Mizuki looked up at Nagato in the sky. The shadow had covered almost all of his face, and even his hair color had changed from bright red to dull gray.
"Black Zetsu, you really know how to find opportunities!"
It is not easy to successfully possess and control the owner of a Rinnegan, especially when the target is still deeply wary of Black Zetsu.
If Mizuki and Jiraiya had not joined forces to severely injure Nagato, this guy with ulterior motives would not have been able to accomplish such a great thing so easily.
"It's really interesting. I didn't expect the Akatsuki organization to be in internal strife so soon."
Shuimu wasn't too worried.
At this time, Black Zetsu's goal should be to seize the Rinnegan and take advantage of Nagato's surplus value.
As for the resurrection of Uchiha Madara, which Mizuki is most worried about, it should not have been put on the agenda yet.
The heterodox art of reincarnation is indeed a miraculous art that can bring the dead back to life, but what state a person who has been dead for a long time will be in when he is resurrected is still debatable.
As far as Mizuki knows, those who were resurrected by the power of the Rinnegan were ninjas who had died recently, and the Impure World Bodies summoned from the Pure Land.
If Uchiha Madara was resurrected and could directly transform into a body in peak condition, then before his death, Uchiha Madara would directly give the Rinnegan to others, let Black Zetsu possess them, and use the Rinnegan Technique to resurrect himself, wouldn't that achieve immortality in another sense?
But how could such an absurd thing be possible? Even the Sage of the Six Paths could not achieve immortality, so how could Uchiha Madara achieve it?
If one could become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, it would be possible for one to have a lifespan that theoretically would have no end in sight.
In Shuimu's opinion, the state in which one appears after resurrection should be related to the state of the soul and body.
A soul that has died of old age, coupled with a lifeless body, can never return to the peak of its youth.
This is actually somewhat similar to the Impure World Reincarnation.
The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, all died in battle when they were still in their prime. Their souls were still strong, but the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was just an old man after being resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, because there was no basis for him to return to his prime again, and he just had the unlimited chakra, a characteristic that all Impure World Reincarnation bodies have.
If Black Zetsu is mentally ill and resurrects Uchiha Madara who is half dead, Mizuki doesn't mind teaching these idiots how to be a savior.
The soul and the body must have one that is strong enough to support oneself. After resurrection, one will have enough strength to suppress all resistance. At the same time, collect as many tailed beasts as possible, quickly become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki before the five major ninja villages react, and cast the world-destroying Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Most battle-hardened ninjas understand the principle that the longer the night, the more dreams they will have.
It is definitely impossible to resurrect Uchiha Madara directly after he died due to exhaustion of lifespan. If Black Zetsu has already prepared Uchiha Madara's body at this time, it would not be a big deal if he resurrected directly. The Rinnegan alone, even if combined with Uchiha Madara, plus the currently weak Outer Path Demon Statue, would not be helpless. At most, he would retreat and then gather the power of the entire ninja world, hide the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, and slowly consume Uchiha Madara.
The resurrected Uchiha Madara does not have the infinite chakra of the Impure World Body. No matter how strong he is, he cannot challenge the entire ninja world before he becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
Before collecting enough tailed beast chakra, there is no need to worry about the appearance of Uchiha Madara for the time being.
Then it is easy to guess Black Zetsu's goal. He will use Nagato's remaining vitality to attack the tailed beasts, and by the way, find an opportunity to see if he can revive a useful fighting force.
Although Mizuki didn't know who this person was, he had some guesses, such as Biwa Juzo who was killed by the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, and Scorpion of the Red Sand who was killed by Mizuki. Although Mizuki burned it to ashes, there was no guarantee that Scorpion of the Red Sand had any residual cell tissue found and then regenerated by some method. After all, the conditions for Scorpion's resurrection were too low. As long as there were enough active cells and they were made into a regeneration nucleus, it would be enough.
However, after using the Chibaku Tensei, it would be too greedy to want to recycle it.
"Master Jiraiya, I think you already know that it's time to make a decision."
If we delay any further, we don’t know what unexpected events may occur.
Jiraiya looked at the Four-Tails Naruto who was already wrapped in layers of rocks and nodded helplessly.
"Let's get started. We can't worry about accidental injuries now."
"Actually, there won't be any serious consequences. After all, we are in heaven now."
Jiraiya couldn't fly, but Mizuki, with Jiraiya, Shima and Fukasaku, rushed towards Nagato in the sky. Under the threat of the fully powerful Rinnegan, only the two sages were able to fight.
"Hey, little guy, fly more steadily. The air is flowing back into your throat and we can't speak accurately."
"I'll try my best!"
The gravitational field around was in chaos. It was not easy for Mizuki to maintain balance with one person, and he also had to avoid Nagato's occasional attacks. In such a difficult situation, it was really too difficult for the two immortals to use the magic Toad Singing smoothly.
"Shui Mu, once the illusion is activated, you will also be dragged into the illusion space. Who will lead us then?"
"Don't worry, Master Jiraiya, this isn't a problem!"
"Oh? You're really arrogant..."
It is really hard to believe that someone could ignore the threat posed by Toad Linchang. It is hard to believe that someone would be so confident that he would not care about this terrifying magic technique that has been passed down in Myoboku Mountain for who knows how many years and whose source cannot be verified.
"I have no way to resist this magic, but..."
Mizuki chuckled.
"Instinctively maintain the flying state. It won't affect your performance!"
After studying illusion for nearly three years, I have prepared several emergency plans for when my own will cannot control my body.
"Oh well!"
Jiraiya felt a little relieved, then turned to look at his disciple who made him so sad. It was a pity that he had taken the wrong path and there was no way to make him turn back.
At this time, it was obvious that Mizuki and Jiraiya were also going to play their cards, and no one should interfere. Rather, Mizuki hoped that Uchiha Obito would come over to try out the power of the Magical Toad Singing to see if it could wipe out the enemies in one fell swoop.
Just as Sage Shima and Sage Fukasaku were preparing to sing the Toad, Uzumaki Naruto, who was caught by the Chibaku Tensei, finally couldn't help but began to seek the power of the Nine-Tails.
An aura of disaster that was far beyond normal perception appeared, and the ominous chakra refreshed the understanding of the power of the tailed beasts for every ninja who saw it.
The Nine-Tails is different, it is much stronger than all the tailed beasts and jinchūriki ever seen.
If they knew that the Nine-Tails in Uzumaki Naruto only had half of its power, I wonder how surprised they would be.
But now, it is shocking enough.
When four tails appeared, Uzumaki Naruto had gradually lost his will. Then, the fifth tail and the sixth tail appeared one after another, and there was a trend of more and more tails appearing faster and faster.
"Don't worry about that now. Get rid of the Samsara Eye first. I will cooperate with Tianzang to suppress it later."
If Uchiha Sasuke could recover properly, with a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, his chances would be even better.
Not long after, a dizzying burst of frog croaking sounded, and the sounds that came one after another made people dizzy.
Shuimu really couldn't hear any rhythm in the noise. He just felt a little upset and uneasy, and then he lost consciousness.
Because they had lost control, the chakra and wings of the tailed beasts on their bodies dissipated, and the two figures in mid-air were about to fall down.
At this moment, a ripple of spiritual fluctuations suddenly appeared on Shuimu's body, and a colorful butterfly wing stretched out from behind Shuimu.
The huge wings were emitting strange chakra fluctuations as they danced gracefully. With ease, they carried Mizuki, Jiraiya and the two sages of Mount Myoboku to avoid all dangers in the turbulent energy, and continued to approach Nagato who was controlled by Black Zetsu.
"This is... such a pure Yin escape technique. I never thought your illusion ability has reached such a level!"
There are many people who know illusion and medical ninjutsu, but only a handful of them are qualified to be called Yin-tun and Yang-tun.
The Ino-Shika-Chou family's shadow techniques, mind techniques, and multiplication techniques barely touch the threshold of Yin and Yang escape techniques. Only medical ninjutsu of Tsunade's level can be considered to have reached the realm of mastery.
As for the real power of Yin-Tun, apart from Pain's Six Paths, Jiraiya had only seen Susanoo before, which was a typical Yin-Tun. As for Orochimaru's Eight-Headed Technique, Jiraiya had never seen it.
Only when the power of spirit is embodied can one realize the truth.
Although I had heard before that Mizuki was proficient in illusion, I didn't expect him to be so powerful.
Although Jiraiya was not proficient in illusion techniques, he knew very well how difficult it was to transform the illusion into reality in Yin Dun.
If they weren't in battle, Jiraiya would have wanted to ask Mizuki the truth.
