To be honest, Yūshin held no particular prejudice against White Zetsu.
In reality, Yūshin didn't care about the ninja world's future, because in his current understanding, even if he lived to a natural death, by the time the "Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan" activated, he'd already be long gone.
Even if future floods engulfed everything, what did that have to do with a dead man like him?
Taking it further, future disasters would need to rely on posterity's wisdom to resolve—after all, this world had saviors.
Black Zetsu and White Zetsu's conspiracies required saviors to solve. Such enormous responsibility was beyond Yūshin's small frame to bear. In fact, he possessed clear self-awareness and had never imagined participating in such high-level conflicts.
One could say current Yūshin remained bound by conventional thinking patterns—he hadn't considered "variables," believing this world would steadfastly proceed according to his memories.
But matters were separate—he could ignore the future but couldn't ignore the present. Therefore, he attacked White Zetsu without psychological burden.
A ninja world cancer that everyone sought to eliminate.
No helping it—Yūshin desperately wanted those experience packs.
"You... aren't one of us..."
White Zetsu felt its chakra rapidly draining. This person beside it who suddenly launched an underhanded sneak attack was definitely not their "kind."
"Why... can you... disguise..."
But why could he disguise himself so perfectly? This exceeded White Zetsu's imagination.
"Why? Actually, I don't know either."
Why indeed—because Yūshin hadn't disguised himself at all. In a certain sense, he truly could be considered a White Zetsu.
For millennia, only White Zetsu had disguised themselves as others—never had anyone successfully impersonated White Zetsu.
This dying White Zetsu lacked time to contemplate how Yūshin achieved such seamless impersonation. Its thoughts instantly shifted to another aspect...
What kind of severe internal damage could such a shinobi—capable of impersonating their kind undetected—inflict upon White Zetsu's species and their grand enterprise?
Potentially fatal damage.
Unfortunately, despite recognizing the threat, it could do nothing now.
Yūshin rapidly absorbed this White Zetsu's chakra. Soon, the trace of anxiety in his expression vanished. White Zetsu chakra's benefits proved immediate—Yūshin felt his comprehensive abilities steadily increasing.
Truly, White Zetsu really were experience packs!
When Yūshin used the Spore Technique to absorb other shinobi's chakra, his strength would gain temporary enhancement from the chakra boost. However, this chakra was merely water without a source—once depleted, it was gone.
In other words, ordinary shinobi chakra served as "fuel packs" for him.
But White Zetsu were completely different. Yūshin verified his speculation—only when absorbing White Zetsu chakra did his base attributes receive genuine strengthening. These were true "experience packs."
This constituted loving devotion—White Zetsu were truly great. Their sacrifice even represented "sacrificing life for righteousness."
For a moment, Yūshin almost wanted to become the Rabbit Goddess's devotee, becoming White Zetsu's sworn brother.
After this White Zetsu's chakra was completely drained, it finally expired.
Yūshin carefully sensed his body's changes—whether physical condition, chakra quantity and intensity, all showed significant positive enhancement.
Even the enhancement magnitude was exaggerated. Rough estimation suggested Yūshin felt overall strengthening of twenty to thirty percent.
One White Zetsu brought 20-30% improvement—what about 1,157?
Yūshin first became incredibly excited, fantasizing about piloting Gundam in the ninja world, but immediately sobered... not every "experience pack" could provide such massive improvement.
His ability to achieve such exaggerated strength amplification stemmed from his "base stats" being truly abysmal.
Like RPG games—naturally leveling up quickly at low levels, but impossible rapid advancement at high levels.
Regardless, since "experience pack" theory was established, Yūshin had truly found a clear path... He needed to continue seeking isolated White Zetsu.
Who knew when White Zetsu would next convene? He couldn't wait.
Future matters for future consideration. Now Yūshin needed immediate departure. He ended "White Zetsu-ization," releasing Fire Release against the corpse.
Scorching flames surrounded the White Zetsu's body. As abundant chakra continuously overflowed, orange-red flames shifted toward blazing white.
Intense heat caused surrounding tree branches and leaves to curl, wither, and carbonize. Within minutes, this White Zetsu completely vanished in flames.
Yūshin's chakra intensity showed obvious improvement. Despite using identical ninjutsu, current destructive effects far exceeded previous performance.
He hesitated no longer, turning to swiftly depart.
After running considerable distance, Yūshin emerged from earth, slowing movement speed while contemplating another matter...
Just now while using ninjutsu, he'd perceived certain other changes within himself.
He reached out, plucking a tree leaf and spreading it flat in his palm, allowing chakra to naturally emanate from his hand.
With his original chakra nature, this leaf should directly wither and ignite. However, the actual change he witnessed was the leaf first becoming extremely moist before beginning to burn.
"Water nature..."
Importantly, this wasn't the kind of barely detectable water-nature chakra change requiring ultra-sensitive test paper—but practical-strength water-nature chakra that mature Water Release shinobi could utilize.
After absorbing that White Zetsu's chakra, Yūshin mastered water-nature chakra transformation.
"This..."
According to his knowledge, White Zetsu basically never used nature-based ninjutsu, having no reason to master chakra nature transformation. So what was happening?
Yūshin suddenly considered a possibility—chakra nature transformation might be White Zetsu's "recessive trait," unrelated to White Zetsu itself but to their forgotten essence.
"White Zetsu before becoming White Zetsu were ancient era shinobi. That White Zetsu just now might have been a shinobi proficient in water-nature chakra transformation."
This might be ability buried deep within White Zetsu, forgotten by themselves.
"No, doesn't make sense."
This speculation seemed reasonable, but Yūshin quickly rejected it.
Because currently active ninja world White Zetsu all originated from the first Infinite Tsukuyomi period, when the Sage of Six Paths hadn't yet founded Ninshū. Even ninjutsu concepts didn't exist, let alone nature chakra transformation and nature ninjutsu development.
Therefore, before becoming White Zetsu, those unfortunate souls didn't understand ninjutsu. After becoming White Zetsu, they simply didn't need ninjutsu...
Yūshin was somewhat confused.
"Perhaps ancient shinobi understood nature transformation but not nature ninjutsu? Like an expert marksman born before firearms were invented?"
He could only temporarily think so.
Here his understanding had some problems, because original work descriptions of ancient times weren't comprehensive enough. In fact, the first batch of White Zetsu born from Infinite Tsukuyomi weren't shinobi before becoming White Zetsu, but humans.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya consumed the chakra fruit and activated Infinite Tsukuyomi to destroy hostile human nations, not to deal with her two filial sons.
Yūshin always believed White Zetsu originated from the war between Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, Ōtsutsuki Hamura, and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. Actually, White Zetsu originated before this war.
Afterwards, the two divine brothers sealed the Ten-Tails, sent their mother skyward, then released Infinite Tsukuyomi. Hagoromo established Ninshū, spreading chakra. The shinobi era began, and he became the legendary Sage of Six Paths.
Simply put, Yūshin's long-held belief that "White Zetsu formed by hanging shinobi on the God Tree" was factually incorrect. White Zetsu's previous lives were actually ordinary people.
So his extensive analysis was essentially meaningless.
He thought he'd guessed why White Zetsu concealed chakra nature transformation abilities, but actually missed by miles.
Regardless, Yūshin now possessed water-nature chakra. Since he had it, naturally he wanted to test Water Release power.
Yūshin excitedly pressed his hands together, but after a while showed no action, instead dropping his hands again.
Understanding nature transformation didn't mean understanding release techniques—Yūshin hadn't mastered Water Release hand seals.
