Judging from Mito's reaction, this should be her first time encountering something like White Zetsu, so she knows nothing about it.
This should be a relatively normal situation. Although White Zetsu's concealment skills are superb, the Uzumaki clan's perception ability is also inexplicably strange, so White Zetsu has no way of guaranteeing that he can get close to Mito without being exposed at all.
But if that's the case, why are they suddenly showing up now?
Maybe it was just because he was a little careless? After all, he just wanted to take a look from a distance, but who would have thought that two fast Konoha Slash Kings would rush over and kill him without saying a word.
"Mito-sama, are you going to bring the body back to Konoha?"
Everyone studied the remaining White Zetsu corpse but couldn't come up with any results, so an Anbu suggested to Mito.
In such a wild place, the inspections they can do are limited, and there are no ninjas in the team who specialize in handling corpses. So if they want to investigate the body in detail, it is best to bring it back to the village. With the help of the village's complete facilities and professional talents, they may be able to find something from the body... Anyway, it will be more likely to produce better results than Hanyu's crude slicing.
The Anbu's idea is very simple, and they are doing their job conscientiously. After all, the village should try their best to find out the identities and origins of the enemies who covet the Nine-Tails or the Jinchūriki.
But at this time Mito frowned. Although she knew nothing about Zetsus and could not get any key information from the corpse, her instinct told her that this thing was a bit weird and it was best not to touch it easily.
So she shook her head and said, "That's not necessary. Just dispose of these bodies here."
Are all the Anbu ninjas now so careless? Don't touch unfamiliar techniques, don't pay attention to people you don't understand, don't pick up abnormal things at home... This simple truth should not be difficult to understand.
Mito doesn't understand White Zetsu, so out of caution he will speculate on it with the most malicious thoughts - what if this thing is carrying a locator, what if it is carrying a listening device, what if it is a human bomb, what if their operator is nearby?
"But, Mito-sama..."
The ANBU ninja wanted to say more, but Mito waved his hand to stop him and ordered, "You guys step back and let me handle the rest... In some situations, I'm much more professional than you youngsters."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment at first, but then they could only retreat a long distance... In any case, since Mito has given the order, everything from now on will be subject to her.
At this time, Hanyu was a little curious about the professional way the elders handled the matter. Couldn't these young people handle the two bodies well? Couldn't they just burn them?
However, just as Hanyu was thinking this, his eyelids twitched suddenly.
Because at this moment, he saw that the outer garment that Mito was wearing suddenly turned bright yellow, and then an indescribable amount of chakra was emanating from her body. Although it was not as exaggerated as when she deliberately showed it on the sea surface before, but... concentrating this ultra-high density of chakra around the body instead of dispersing it wantonly, this is the real "combat mode".
Without any warning, Mito entered Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
She may feel that her perception ability in normal state is not enough, so she directly enters the super mode to further increase her perception of the surroundings...
It's just that it's a bit exaggerated, even Hanyu thinks this action is a bit exaggerated. It's not worth it for just a White Zetsu.
Mito's perception ability continued to improve, but she still didn't feel anything special. The problem was that the secret sense of disobedience in her intuition kept lingering, and she always felt that someone was indeed monitoring the Konoha team.
That's my intuition, but I found nothing when searching…so let's just leave it at that for now?
Mito waved his hand, and the extremely corrosive chakra of the Nine-Tailed Fox immediately rushed towards the bodies of the two White Zetsu. Then, like fresh mushrooms poured with boiling hot oil, the two bodies instantly turned charred and then melted.
But the matter was not over yet. Mito still hadn't retracted her chakra. She bent her knees and squatted down, putting one of her palms on the ground. Just when Hanyu was a little curious about what she was going to do, he suddenly realized something.
"I think we ... "
I think we'd better stand further away. However, before Hanyu could finish his words, he felt the ground beneath his feet suddenly jump like his heart contracting, and then his body was gently thrown into the air and landed awkwardly.
There was a long blank in his mind before Hanyu reacted. A huge and dull roar just came into his ears, like the sound caused by an oversized meteorite hitting a valley basin.
Looking at the ground under my feet, well, a funnel shape with a radius of more than 100 meters and a central depth of at least 50 meters has appeared on the originally flat ground. Even the spider-web-like cracks extending from the center point spread even further.
At the center point, of course, was the figure of Mito...
Hanyu suddenly felt that it was nothing big that the first Hokage left Tsunade with a gambling habit, but what was going on with Mito?
Well, actually, it's not the same thing. Mito's attack power is far from Tsunade's. It's just the combined result of the power gain brought by the Nine-Tails mode and the huge chakra burst.
Mito felt that someone was watching her, but she couldn't find any trace of the other person. However, the surroundings were in full view, so in this case, the watcher was most likely hiding underground, which was difficult to search underground after all.
So based on this speculation and judgment, Mito smashed the ground... Her theory was that no matter whether there was anyone underneath , there would be no harm in smashing it.
"Come on, keep moving, it's been taken care of."
After Mito retracted his chakra and walked out from the bottom of the pit, he said this to the staggering Konoha team.
Hanyu suddenly understood. Mito seemed gentle and honest, and indeed had the demeanor of an elder, but... as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. She was the same as the first Hokage, both of them were typical terrain destroyers.
If you can't find the enemy's specific location, then isn't it the most reasonable approach to fire a map cannon?
Well, that's easy to understand and deserves applause.
But...is it true that all members of the Uzumaki clan have this kind of side hidden inside them?
That's why Mito said that the young people's way of dealing with the enemy's corpse was not sophisticated enough. The sophisticated way should not only destroy the corpse, but also help the other party dig a grave... and it has to be a big grave.
Hanyu couldn't help but look at the big pit again. What else could he say except wishing the people inside to rest in peace?
Mito's action was originally intended to be "cautious", but why is everyone's impression of it now just "violent"?
In short, she took care of everything around her with all possible precautions before the team set out again.
However, after they left for a while, Hanyu and Sakumo quietly made a half circle and came back here, monitoring the place from a not far away position. They stayed there for four hours. After that, when there was no movement at all, the two confirmed that there was nothing unusual, and then went to catch up with the main team.
Everything was quiet.
It was not until night fell and the Konoha team had even returned to the village that an aloe vera suddenly grew in the big pit... no, it should be said that a patch of seaweed grew.
The seaweed is half black and half white, and it can even talk to itself.
"I thought I was really dead."
"In fact, we are almost dead."
"As expected of a top ninja who came out of the war era, she still launched an attack even though he had already released two baits."
"What's terrifying is the Uzumaki's perception ability. We have clearly completely eliminated the aura."
"So, you are still too anxious. I don't approve of this kind of surveillance in the first place."
"Many years have passed. We should be anxious... We thought the Jinchūriki should be weak enough, but who would have thought that her strength is still the same? It's useless to say this now. Anyway, don't get close to the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki for the time being... No, I should say don't get close to Konoha for the time being."
"With our physical condition, there's no way we can get close. What do we do now? How do we get back to the base?"
"This place is not far from the sea. Let's go out to sea and drift along the current."
"Then let's drift..."
Unbeknownst to Hanyu and the people of Konoha, the two masterminds who had just been about to raise their heads were pushed back in a rather rough manner before they could even straighten their necks. For a long time to come, they could only return to their nest and lick their wounds in silence.
