Chapter 362 Misunderstanding
Kaito frowned and looked at the coffin in front of him with a serious expression.
There is also a corpse lying inside at this moment.
But it was not the body of Senju Hashirama as Kaito imagined, but the body of White Zetsu, whom he was very familiar with.
"Why is it White Zetsu?"
Originally, Kaito wanted to take advantage of the cognitive difference between the two parallel time and space to gain some small advantage.
Unexpectedly, he touched upon some of the secrets of this parallel universe.
In Kaito's original time and space.
After "killing" Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama also suffered irreparable injuries and eventually died in Konoha.
As the first Hokage and the God of Ninja World, his powerful strength is also coveted by the younger generations of Konoha.
It has been preserved as important research material.
Orochimaru has made many achievements by studying Senju Hashirama's cells.
However, what Kaito did not expect was that in this time and space, the body of Senju Hashirama had disappeared.
Yes, Kaito was sure that the body of Senju Hashirama was not preserved by the Konoha officials.
Because something like White Zetsu is inseparable from Black Zetsu in any way.
And the old silver coin Black Zetsu placed the body of White Zetsu here, obviously not to help Konoha transfer the body of Senju Hashirama as a cover.
But Kaito couldn't quite figure it out.
If Black Zetsu wanted the body of Senju Hashirama, why didn't he do so in his original world?
'No, it's not impossible!'
'Maybe he's not covering up for Konoha, but just covering up for Uchiha Madara!'
Kaito suddenly woke up at this moment.
There is no use for Black Zetsu to have the body of Senju Hashirama.
But for Uchiha Madara, it was very useful!
In the original time and space, Uchiha Madara successfully combined the chakras of Indra and Asura by biting off a piece of meat from Senju Hashirama.
Finally, he was able to open the legendary Rinnegan belonging to the Six Paths Sage in his old age.
'Just a bite of Hashirama's flesh made Madara awaken his Rinnegan before he died. Now Madara has a whole corpse of Hashirama.'
Thinking of this, cold sweat began to appear on Kaito's forehead.
He originally thought that the highest combat power in this time and space was 'just' Uchiha Madara with the Eternal Mangekyō.
At best, Madara can have Kurama and a powerful Susanoo, and that would be the best.
Who would have thought that he would have to face the mature version of Uchiha Madara?
And more importantly, if Uchiha Madara was already hooking up with Black Zetsu at this time.
What the other party is going to do next seems to have already surfaced.
Kaito patted his cheeks, took a long breath, and forced himself to comfort himself.
'There is no need to scare myself, this is all just wild guesses!'
'And even if Sage Of Six Paths Madara really shows up, I don't have to deal with him. I didn't provoke him, so why am I worrying about it here!'
Kaito finally regained his composure and looked at the corpse of White Zetsu in front of him.
'A thief never leaves empty-handed.'
'No, it should be said that even the smallest cultural relics need to be protected!'
Taking out a sealing scroll that had been prepared long ago from his arms, Kaito unfolded it and whispered to Uchiha Hikari lying on the pit without turning his head.
"Hikari, help me keep watch. This thing needs to be sealed and taken away. We need to return it to fill the pit later."
Uchiha Hikari looked down with a strange expression.
"Is this the great big baby you were talking about?"
Before, Uchiha Hikari thought that Kaito was here to do something immoral like stealing human corpses, but she didn't expect that she had misunderstood him, and it turned out to be just the corpse of a monster.
"Well, there were some small errors."
Kaito scratched his head in embarrassment, but did not stop his hands.
After moving White Zetsu's body onto the sealing scroll, he began to make hand seals.
But at this time, Uchiha Hikari spoke again.
"Kaito"
"Bang~" white smoke exploded.
After completing the seal, Kaito looked up, wondering what Uchiha Hikari wanted him to do.
But the next moment.
"There's an intruder!!"
"Someone come!!"
A series of shouts and calls seemed particularly loud in the night.
The tranquility of the entire cemetery was instantly broken.
"Shit! We've been discovered!"
Kaito, who had been acting stealthily, was startled by the sudden shouting.
Jump out of the pit.
He picked up the somewhat panicked Uchiha Hikari and ran out.
"I saw him!"
"That bastard Tobirama must be here again! Everyone follow me!"
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Dozens of figures used the power of body flicker Jutsu to surround Kaito.
Fortunately, Uchiha Hikari has been malnourished for many years, and that little weight is not a burden at all for Kaito.
Even though there were still ninjas from the Senju clan coming to surround him from all directions, they still couldn't catch up with his speed.
Although if they choose to fight back, with the strength of Kaito and Uchiha Hikari, they may be able to win the battle.
However, the two of them secretly came here this time for no good purpose.
Kaito was too shameless to dig up graves and then kill people in other people's cemeteries.
At this time, he could only escape desperately under the cover of night.
"Kaito, put me down. I can run by myself."
Uchiha Hikari, who was being held in the arms of Kaito in a princess hug, blushed and gently patted his arm.
I don't know if it was simply because she was shy or if she was afraid that she would affect Kaito's escape.
Ignoring the girl moving around in his arms, Kaito used his forearms to ensure that her body was stable and comfortable.
At the same time, he quickly formed seals with one hand.
"Water Style: Aqua Jet"
As Kaito was running, chakra flowed throughout his body, and with the characteristic of 'floating', his body was slightly off the ground, offsetting part of the gravity.
Immediately afterwards, the water that had been accumulating under the soles of the feet suddenly burst out.
The speed, which was already extremely fast, suddenly increased again.
It was like a rocket flying close to the ground.
In just a moment, he rushed out of the encirclement in front that had not yet been completely closed.
Only a long trail of water stains was left in the cemetery.
They vaguely saw Kaito's figure flying out like lightning.
The members of the Senju clan could only slow down their pace in anger.
"That bastard got away again!"
A capable woman wearing grey armor and a Konoha forehead protector stared at the direction where Kaito was going away and cursed in a low voice.
However, at this moment, another ninja from the Senju clan who had fallen behind before, trotted over with a grim expression.
"Clan leader, Hashirama-sama's tomb is empty!"
"What!"
"That bastard!"
The crowd, who were already furious because the thieves had escaped, became even more furious at this moment.
The face of this capable woman who was called the clan leader was almost as black as the bottom of a pot.
With a fling of her sleeves, she walked straight into Konoha Castle.
