Orochimaru glared coldly at the mask in his hand, as though it had committed some unforgivable crime!
The next day.
The plan to mass-produce White Zetsu officially commenced.
To steal the Scroll of the Impure World Reincarnation from the Hidden Leaf Village, Ye Liang first dispatched a group of White Zetsu to infiltrate Iwagakure.
Onoki was away!
The Chunin Exams were about to begin in Hidden Leaf, and Onoki had specially brought his granddaughter to attend the event. At this moment, they should still be on their way.
Ye Liang arrived at the entrance of Iwagakure Village with Black Zetsu.
The current leader is Kitsuchi, a powerful man, but no match for Ye Liang now! Ye Liang had already mastered countless low-tier ninjutsu.
And with the power of the Zero-Tails, he had cleared the meridians throughout his body.
The Land of Sky possessed a unique technique called Cell Regeneration, which could greatly enhance human biological cells. Not only could it grant limb regeneration abilities, but it could also slow aging, even reversing it!
It could even allow someone to open the Eight Gates without any drawbacks!
Under Shinno's guidance, Ye Liang unlocked all the body's restrictions!
He was now in the state of the All Eight Gates Opened.
Unfortunately, his body seemed to have suffered severe injuries. Even with the Eight Gates opened, he could not gain greater power.
"Black Zetsu, are you certain you've already released the first batch of test subjects?"
"Yes, Lord Ye Liang! Once they fully integrate into Iwagakure Village, they will gradually infiltrate from within, eventually spreading to other ninja villages, allowing complete control over the entire world!"
"Haha! Well done, Black Zetsu!" Ye Liang laughed loudly and strutted into Iwagakure Village.
"Who is this guy?"
"Not sure. But judging by his clothes, he looks like he's from Konoha."
As he walked, pedestrians pointed and whispered about Ye Liang's swaggering stride. One fierce glare from him silenced everyone.
Before long,
The law enforcement squad of Iwagakure arrived.
Leading them was a square-jawed man dressed in a yellow uniform.
"Who are you! What business do you have coming to our Iwagakure!" The square-jawed man cautiously looked at Ye Liang and quickly asked.
"Who am I? Haha! I damn well am a friend of your leader Onoki! Today, while he's away, I specially came to pay a visit!"
"Surround him!" The square-jawed man shouted an order. The surrounding enforcers immediately spread out and tightly surrounded Ye Liang.
Ye Liang arrogantly glanced at the square-jawed man. "What? This is how you treat your guests?"
"Guests?"
The man sneered coldly, "I've never heard of a guest visiting when the host isn't home! I think you're here looking for trouble."
"Haha! You saw right through me!" Ye Liang sneered.
[Massive Fireball]
A massive fireball suddenly shot toward the man without warning!
"Watch out! Stay alert!"
Startled, the square-jawed man quickly slammed his hands downward, causing an earthen wall to rise from the ground.
"Boom!"
The fireball wasn't stopped by the wall. Instead, it blasted the wall backward, striking the man himself! He flew backward, slammed into the wall behind him, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Attack!"
"Attack, you bastards!" He growled through clenched teeth, ordering his men to charge at Ye Liang.
Black Zetsu, watching from the side, immediately tried to activate a Yin-Yang Release technique but was stopped by Ye Liang's outstretched hand: "Don't move! These are all my prey!"
"Hah!" He let out a sharp laugh, then leaped into the air.
High above, he looked down at the group of ninja below. "You're just NPCs! Daring to challenge divine power? That's practically begging for death!"
With that, he formed hand seals, and a massive water dragon shot forth from nowhere.
[Water Release - Water Dragon Projectile!]
A tremendous torrent of water engulfed everyone, including Black Zetsu.
"That madman!"
Black Zetsu cursed angrily, then used Yin-Yang Release to retreat underground.
The ninja groaned in despair.
"Who dares cause trouble in our Iwagakure Village!" Suddenly, several muscular giants came charging from the distance. Each wore the same uniform and a metal forehead protector.
The moment they arrived, they shouted curses at Ye Liang in unison.
Their voices thundered through the air, each packed with raw power.
"Kitsuchi?"
Ye Liang hesitated, recognizing the muscular leader.
Kitsuchi had barely appeared when he jumped straight into the stream of water, swinging his arm with full force and completely dispersing the incoming water dragon. Then, together with his subordinates, he performed synchronized hand seals. Instantly, a bottomless pit appeared in the center of the village.
The water flowed directly into it.
"Our Iwagakure Village has always been honest and peaceful, never seeking conflict. Who exactly are you? Why are you suddenly invading our land?"
Kitsuchi stared solemnly at Ye Liang.
"Elder! Why bother talking to this guy? Just take him down!"
"Yeah, Elder. This guy dares to rampage through our Iwagakure Village alone? That's pure arrogance! We can't let him get away with it!" Several underlings were already eager, clearly wanting to tear Ye Liang to pieces.
Kitsuchi didn't move.
From the earlier water attack alone, this sharp-eyed, handsome man was clearly no ordinary opponent—he must have come well-prepared.
Ye Liang gave Kitsuchi a cold glance, then fired a Rasengan straight downward!
The Rasengan is the simplest S-ranked ninjutsu.
As long as one has enough power, anyone can learn it.
Kitsuchi was shocked!
From the yellow sphere flying toward him, he sensed an immense force.
"Scatter, all of you!"
Just as the group retreated, the Rasengan struck the ground. An enormous crater exploded open, even larger than the pit created earlier by their combined efforts.
"You guys are somewhat interesting, but unfortunately, you can't even scratch my vital points."
Ye Liang coldly stared at them. Then, with a wave of his hand, white flesh-like masses wrapped around the ankles of the ninja.
[Spore Technique!]
This was Black Zetsu's signature ability—splitting his body to produce spores that could entangle people.
Kitsuchi and the others were now immobilized.
Ye Liang smiled, then released a [Massive Fireball Jutsu] from his mouth.
These ninja were all Jonin, yet they were no match for Ye Liang now! Even without his memories, Ye Liang's physical strength outclassed even ordinary Kage-level masters!
Even if Onoki himself came, Ye Liang wouldn't fear him!
Boom!
The sea of flames completely surrounded the entire squad of ninja.
Suddenly!
A series of wails suddenly came from all around the village.
Innumerable villagers rushed out from their homes. Flesh-like growths, similar to the one on Kitsuchi, clung to their bodies. They desperately tried to flee, but could not escape the grip of these growths!
The growths devoured their flesh and gradually swallowed their heads.
"Good job, Black Zetsu!" Ye Liang praised.
Black Zetsu rose slowly from the ground.
"Lord! These spores were planted earlier by those infiltrators. Once the spores fully consume these villagers, they'll transform them directly into White Zetsu."
