Chapter 281: Final Glow
Although the body of Karatachi Yagura disappeared, a cloud of gloom cast over the relaxed mood of the crowd.
But since the enemy hiding in the dark did not show up, everyone had to pack up the remaining bodies and leave quickly.
However, after everyone left, two figures slowly and mysteriously emerged from the ground.
Among them, the somewhat tall white figure suddenly had a huge crack on his chest like a pitcher plant, and the unconscious Yagura was spit out from it.
"Pooh~"
"Really? This guy is useless now. Why should we save him?"
Next to him, another half-black and half-white figure glanced at Yagura lying on the ground and said in a cheerful tone.
"Hehe, this is Madara-sama's order, there's nothing I can do about it~ And I quite like him~"
But at this time, another hoarse and gloomy voice came from this half-black and half-white figure.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense! Obito should be waking up soon. We need to go back as soon as possible."
"What about this guy? Is it okay to leave it here?"
"Madara-sama only said to spare his life. What to do next is up to Obito to decide."
After saying this, the bodies of the Black and White Zetsu began to slowly sink again, but the white one kept muttering in his mouth.
"I really don't understand why Madara-sama wanted to transfer the remaining life force in the Gedo Statue to Obito."
The tall White Zetsu, who was also sinking, started to scold impatiently.
"Hey! You don't need to worry about this kind of thing."
Unexpectedly, Black and White Zetsu, who had only his head left outside, immediately complained loudly.
"I've already told you that my name is not Hey! Call me Ashito!"
"Tsk, who are you talking about?"
The quarrel finally dissipated until the two White Zetsu's figures completely merged into the ground.
On the devastated battlefield, the only one left was the still unconscious Yagura.
The other side.
Although Kaito and his group were very alert along the way, they were afraid that an unknown enemy would pop up at any time.
However, this journey was surprisingly safe and there was no risk.
Of course, Kaito still couldn't resist Kisame and was carried on his back.
It was not until they arrived near the Kirigakure Village that Kisame let go of Kaito.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps the action of everyone stopping alarmed the Third Mizukage.
The Third Mizukage, who had been in a coma behind Ao, also woke up.
As Ao, who had carried the Third Mizukage all the way, was naturally the first to discover it and hurriedly asked about the situation.
"Third Mizukage-sama, are you okay now?"
The others heard the noise and naturally gathered around.
Although the Third Mizukage had just gotten rid of the state of being controlled by the illusion and was still seriously injured and weak, he was still not confused about the current situation at all and spoke softly.
"Ao, put me down."
"Third Mizukage-sama."
Ao was still a little worried about the physical condition of the Third Mizukage, but he did not dare to disobey the old man's order and put him down, but still reached out to support him.
The Third Mizukage was indeed unable to stand on his own at the moment, and did not reject Ao's kindness, but turned to look at Kaito.
"You did a good job, Kaito boy."
Upon hearing this, Kaito hurriedly came closer.
"Third Mizukage-sama, do you still have any memory of the past?"
The Third Mizukage just nodded slightly, looked at the surrounding scenery, and then spoke slowly.
"Have we reached the village yet?"
"Yes, Third Mizukage-sama."
Everyone was originally planning to carry the seriously injured and unconscious Third Mizukage back to the village, but at this moment they suddenly felt at a loss.
After feeling the pain and weakness in his body, the Third Mizukage spoke to Kaito again.
"Kaito boy, I remember you have a ninjutsu that can completely heal injuries, right?"
Kaito was stunned at first when he heard this, and then replied with some embarrassment.
"Third Mizukage-sama, the Wind of Revival consumes lifespan to recover from physical injuries. Your current condition may be..."
Kaito didn't say the rest of the words.
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that given the Third Mizukage's age and injuries, this method of consuming his lifespan to recover would most likely result in his immediate death.
In fact, most of the injuries on the Third Mizukage had already been simply treated by Kaito.
Next, return to the village and go to the Kirigakure Hospital to recuperate and receive treatment for a period of time, and he will recover normally.
However, the Third Mizukage himself did not hesitate at all. He just glanced in the direction of the Kirigakure Village and then looked at Kaito with a determined gaze.
"Use it."
"Kaito, you must remember that the Mizukage is the pillar of the Kirigakure Village. No matter if you are injured or controlled, you must not show the slightest weakness in front of others!"
At this time, the Third Mizukage was obviously seriously injured and pale, and his voice was not loud, but it was deafening to Kaito's ears.
Feeling the determination and encouragement in the old man's eyes, Kaito stopped talking nonsense and immediately began to form hand seals and perform ninjutsu.
"Wind Style: Wind of Revival"
A light breeze emitting a faint green glow generated between Kaito's palms, surrounding and blowing towards the Third Mizukage who was still being supported by Ao.
As soon as the contact came, the Third Mizukage felt the warmth attached to the breeze, and his body's condition recovered quickly.
Finally, whether it was the rosy complexion or the straight back that he stood up after releasing Ao, they all indicated the physical condition of the Third Mizukage.
Seeing this, Kaito quickly stopped performing ninjutsu.
The Third Mizukage clenched his fists, felt his own condition, and nodded in praise to Kaito.
"Very nice ninjutsu."
However, Kaito looked at the old man with a sad face.
At this time, Kaito was obviously more aware of Third Mizukage's physical condition than Third Mizukage himself. After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and prepared to remind him.
"Third Mizukage-sama..."
However, Kaito's words were stopped by the Third Mizukage who waved his hand and turned to speak to the others with full energy.
"Let's go back to the village first!"
"Yes!"
Although everyone had many questions to ask, due to the identity of the Third Mizukage, they could only suppress their anger and set off together.
Inside the Kirigakure Village.
Originally, at the gate, the guards were ready to sound the alarm and go forward to intercept them when they saw Kaito and others who had been labeled as traitors.
But they immediately noticed the Third Mizukage among the crowd, and immediately stopped what they were doing and stepped forward to greet him.
As the gatekeepers, the most important ability is to recognize transformation techniques. Naturally, they will not confuse the real and fake Mizukage, so at this time they will naturally let them pass.
The result was that a group of people who were either "rebel ninjas" or front-line ninjas who had deserted their posts actually walked all the way into the Mizukage building in such a brazen manner.
After arriving at the Mizukage's office, the Third Mizukage didn't say anything, so everyone naturally followed him in.
After sitting down, the Third Mizukage waved his hand to call over an Anbu and spoke to him.
"Go call Gonbei."
