Chapter 250 The White Zetsu Who Steals Things

At the same time, in Konoha Village, Building B of the Science Research Institute.

Unlike Shikamori and Yahiko, who are busy, Nishikawa Toru is very happy to be able to return to the village to do research.

In fact, according to the previous plan, as the Vice Minister of Finance and the highest-ranking official of the State Grid, he should be sitting in his luxurious office in the capital, drinking and chatting with those high-ranking officials, enjoying the treatment of a high-ranking official.

However, a week ago, he rushed back to Konoha under the pretext of having something to do at the research institute. Of course, this was inseparable from the assistance of a certain blond driver.

The reason was simple: he was no longer of any use for the work in the capital.

The initial framework of the power grid has been completed, and the renovation of Damingfu has been highly praised.

The remaining tasks were simply to recruit people, lay the cables, collect money, and deal with local bullies in various places.

Nara Shikanobu did these things a million times better than him.

Yakushi Nonou was also completely adept at diplomacy and intelligence gathering; as for the progress and quality of the project, with Yahiko overseeing it, he didn't need to worry about it at all.

"It's a waste of my time to spend in the capital with those nobles doing arithmetic."

Although socializing is also a way to achieve one's goals, he prefers things that are more straightforward, such as continuing to do scientific research.

Nishikawa Tetsu stretched and dusted himself off.

"Anyway, I've already decided on the general direction. The rest of the hard work can be left to Senior Lu Shou. As the deputy minister, sitting in the village and directing operations remotely is the most efficient management model."

Nishikawa Tetsuya found a perfect excuse for his hands-off management behavior and then turned and walked into the laboratory.

"boom!"

Not long after, a muffled sound came from the underground laboratory, causing the entire building to tremble slightly.

"Cough cough cough!"

Nishikawa Tetsu, covered in soot, pushed open the heavy blast door, holding a metal disc emitting black smoke in his hand, and coughed as he walked out.

"Failed again..."

He threw the discarded parts into the recycling bin and sighed helplessly.

"Large-scale chakra wireless transmission technology is indeed too advanced. Current materials simply cannot withstand that kind of instantaneous energy overload."

After returning to his village, he has been researching how to break free from the constraints of physical objects, hoping to achieve true wireless connectivity.

But while the theory is rich, the reality is harsh. Even with Orochimaru's sealing techniques, the physical limits of materials remain an insurmountable chasm.

"Che-jun, are you alright?"

Hearing the commotion, Mizuki Uzumaki ran over from the energy lab next door, carrying a newly completed data report.

She looked at Nishikawa Tetsu's smoky face and expertly handed him a damp towel.

"It's nothing, just standard procedure." Nishikawa Toru took the towel and wiped his face. "How's the miniaturization of the battery pack going?"

"It went very smoothly."

When it comes to work, Mizuki immediately gets into the zone. She opens the report, her eyes sparkling with confidence.

"Based on the ideas you provided, I folded the original sealing circuit into a three-dimensional shape, which successfully reduced the size and weight of the high-voltage battery, while keeping the energy storage capacity unchanged."

"Not only that, I also used a special sealing technique from Mito-sama's notes to solve the problem of battery power loss in extremely cold environments."

"Very good!"

Nishikawa Tetsu's eyes lit up; this solved a major problem.

"This will not only allow for a major upgrade to weaponry, but also make use of cold-weather equipment in the construction of the power grid in the northern mountains."

He patted Miyuki on the shoulder and exclaimed sincerely, "Miyuki, you're the institute's darling now. Without you, many of my ideas would remain just blueprints."

Mizuki blushed at the praise and lowered her head, saying softly, "It's all thanks to Che-kun's excellent teaching... and I'm happy to be able to help."

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at the increasingly mature red-haired girl and was about to say something more encouraging.

Sudden.

"Beep beep beep beep—!"

A piercing, highest-level red alarm suddenly blared throughout the entire research institute without warning!

This is not an alarm about a laboratory malfunction, but rather—

Intrusion alert!

Nishikawa Tetsu's expression changed drastically in an instant.

He abruptly turned to look at the monitoring screen on the wall, which was an active warning barrier set up by Orochimaru specifically to filter and lock onto certain special chakra frequencies.

In the center of the screen, amidst the green that originally represented Konoha Village, a striking red dot suddenly appeared, moving outward at an astonishing speed!

"That is..."

Mizuki stared at the red dot, feeling the faint fluctuations in the air, a flicker of fear crossing her eyes.

"That's... Zetsu's chakra wave?"

"He not only came, but he also took something with him!"

Nishikawa Tetsu's eyes turned icy. He immediately pressed the communicator: "Notify the police department! Seal off the entire village! Where is Director Orochimaru?!"

"Lord Orochimaru... he went to the laboratory on the lowest basement level of Building C ten minutes ago!" came the researcher's panicked voice from the communicator.

Nishikawa Tetsu's heart sank.

Besides Orochimaru's various dangerous biological tissues, there were also... Zetsu's live specimens!

His risky infiltration of Konoha and his head straight for the most heavily guarded research institute had only one purpose!

"He didn't come to steal the technology; he came to destroy the evidence!"

Nishikawa Tetsu instantly understood the key point.

The very existence of White Zetsu is Madara's greatest secret.

Once Orochimaru analyzes the chakra characteristics of the Gedo Mazo through that live sample, or traces Madara's whereabouts through its genes, Madara's entire Eye of the Moon plan will be exposed to the light of day.

"We absolutely cannot allow Konoha to obtain this kind of information!"

"Mizuki, activate the highest level of defense for the research institute! No one is allowed to enter or leave!"

As Nishikawa Tetsu gave the order, he rushed toward Jue's position, his eyes blazing with killing intent.

"Now that you're here, you're not leaving."

"Whoosh!"

Nishikawa Tetsuya's figure vanished instantly, heading straight for the basement of Building C.

If Jue succeeds in snatching the sample, all their previous efforts will have been in vain!
