This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 404 A Lamb Enters the Tiger's Mouth

Konoha Old Town.

With the full-scale entry of Xiaojian Construction Group, this area, which once exuded the vicissitudes of time, has now been transformed into a bustling construction site.

On the second floor of a teahouse, which is far from the core construction area and has not yet been demolished.

A portly, wealthy merchant dressed in a magnificent silk kimono was comfortably reclining on a soft cushion.

He held a cup of fine tea in his hand, his gaze passing through the carved wooden window as he looked out at the dusty street.

Beneath this plump body lies a newly sent clone of White Zetsu.

"Slurp—ah, good tea."

Bai Jue controlled the wealthy merchant's body and smacked his lips in satisfaction. In reality, he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad; he was just rehearsing.

He did his homework before setting off, thoroughly summarizing the painful lessons learned from the two previous defeats of both the White Zetsu main body and the White Zetsu clone.

"The first time I infiltrated the Science Research Institute, I was tricked by that pervert Orochimaru and almost lost everything. This proves the institute is hell on earth; never go there!"

"The second time, I sent a clone to the new Konoha area to gather information, but it never returned, not even sending back a chakra signal. It's probably in grave danger as well. So the new Konoha area is really eerie; it's definitely filled with barriers specifically targeting me. I can't go there!"

Bai Jue took a sip of tea and patted his round belly.

"Therefore, the perfect infiltration plan is just like this."

"I'll possess the body of a wealthy merchant and stay peacefully in the old town that's being renovated. This way, I won't attract the attention of those high-level sensory ninjas, and I can use money to get people to obediently gather information for me."

"I'm such a genius!"

Just as Bai Jue was feeling smug about his cleverness...

"Knock knock".

There was a gentle knock on the door of the private room.

"Come in," Bai Jue immediately adopted the airs of a wealthy businessman and called out in a gruff voice.

The door was pushed open, and a street-smart information broker dressed in gray cloth clothes, wearing a tattered baseball cap, and looking shifty-eyed slipped in.

"Boss, I've found out everything you asked me to do."

The intelligence broker rubbed his hands together and walked hunched over to the table. A cunning glint flashed in his eyes, hidden beneath the brim of his hat.

That's right, this seemingly sleazy information broker is actually Nishikawa Tetsu's shadow clone!

Orochimaru had already sensed it when White Zetsu entered the village a few days earlier, and he immediately shared this information with Nishikawa Tetsu.

Upon hearing this, Nishikawa Tetsuya immediately became interested.

Orochimaru originally wanted to capture the person and slice them up, but Nishikawa Tetsu thought it would be too boring to capture them directly. Moreover, the Five Kage Summit was coming up, and if they were captured, White Zetsu would send clones. It would be better to keep them calm for now and also observe the personalities of the different White Zetsu individuals.

So, he created a shadow clone and used a little transformation magic. He took the initiative to come to the door and accepted the bounty mission from this "wealthy businessman".

"Oh? You've found out?"

Bai Jue pulled out a thick stack of silver notes from his pocket and slammed them on the table with a "thud".

"Tell me, what's the situation in the new Konoha district? And what's been going on with Obito Uchiha lately?"

Nishikawa Tetsu's clone looked at the silver notes on the table, unceremoniously stuffed them into his pocket, then leaned closer and began to report in a low voice.

"Boss, you have no idea, that Konoha New District is practically a monster's den!"

Nishikawa Tetsu's clone began to fabricate a vivid story: "Underground there, there are countless iron pipes that can absorb people's chakra. The streets are full of these iron boxes called elevators. I heard that as soon as someone walks in, the door closes, and whoosh, they're transported to some unknown alternate dimension!"

"hiss--"

Bai Jue gasped, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

"Such a thing happened? No wonder the last clone never came back; it must have been swallowed by that other-dimensional metal box called the elevator!"

White Zetsu believed him without a doubt, and quickly pulled a small notebook from his sleeve, picked up a brush, and scribbled down: [The new Konoha district is riddled with spatial teleportation traps; extremely dangerous.]

"Anything else? What about Obito Uchiha?" White Zetsu asked anxiously.

"That Uchiha brat is even more sinister!"

Nishikawa Tetsu's clone suppressed a laugh and continued his earnest bluff: "I bought this inside information from the cleaning lady at the police department for a hefty sum. That Obito, to maintain his terrifying eyes, wears a pair of pure black goggles every night and performs a strange dance in front of a giant toad statue. I heard it's some kind of ancient and evil sacrificial ritual!"

"An evil sacrificial ritual?"

Bai Jue's eyes widened in surprise.

"I knew it! Madara-sama's Mangekyou Sharingan isn't so easy to control. This kid must have paid a huge price. I didn't expect him to have to dance!"

White Zetsu quickly continued writing in his notebook: [Obito Uchiha is suspected of maintaining his eye power through a mysterious toad cult ritual, which carries the risk of him going berserk.]

Nishikawa Tetsu's clone was overjoyed to see Bai Jue writing furiously and nodding repeatedly.

"Is this thing's IQ a negative number?"

After Nishikawa Tetsu's clone finished reporting a bunch of information that was half true and half false, and even extremely absurd, he rubbed his hands together again.

"Boss, take a look at this intelligence..."

"Well done! Reward!"

Bai Jue generously pulled out another handful of silver notes and stuffed them into the hand of Xi Chuan Che's clone, then patted him on the shoulder.

"You continue to keep an eye on things. Report any suspicious activity to me immediately. Money is no object!"

"Okay! Thank you, boss! May you make a fortune!"

Nishikawa Tetsu's clone bowed repeatedly, then turned and left the private room.

Stepping out of the teahouse, Nishikawa Tetsuya weighed the thick stack of silver notes in his hand and smiled slightly.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the Konoha Science Research Institute.

In the lowest containment chamber of the research institute, the White Zetsu clone that Orochimaru used for experiments and injected with various reagents every day has recently become somewhat listless due to excessive extraction of cells and tissues, and is about to be plucked bald.

"I had heard Dean Orochimaru complaining about the lack of experimental materials, but I didn't expect that such a high-quality substitute would be delivered to our door so quickly. Now we don't have to worry about using up all the clones. They'll be brought to the research institute soon."

Nishikawa Tetsu's clone put the silver notes into his pocket.

"I can use the money he gave me to buy some snacks as gifts."

Nishikawa Tetsu calculated the time and realized that there was less than a week left until the Five Kage Summit, which would determine the fate of the ninja world.

During this period, the village's security level will be raised to the highest level.

"If this rat stays outside and accidentally overhears some important secret, it could be a problem."

"Let's close the net on the very day the Five Shadows Summit begins."

Nishikawa Tetsuya finalized his plan in his mind and turned to walk towards the street corner.

"By the way, make up a few more outrageous pieces of information about Jiraiya and Tsunade, and see if he actually writes them down in that little notebook."
