Scarlet Eyes

---

Scarlet blood rain fell from the sky on a moonlit night. It could be described as a real bloody rain. When it fell on Muzan's body, his eyes showed a hint of violence.

His body also began to change.

The most obvious change was thorn-like vines growing out of his back, and his arms became covered with mouths. At the same moment, the imprisoned ghouls collectively rioted.

"As expected of the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki. Although I am not your opponent, I can still bring chaos to you!"

His arms deformed, and he directly swallowed several cannibals. Instead of consuming them, he injected a large amount of blood into them, granting them temporary strength.

These empowered cannibals saw a figure in their minds: a white-haired young man with a stern face but with bright red eyes that made all the cannibals submit.

From the moment they received the blood, they transformed into another species, both body and mind controlled by the misery before them.

"Go! Stop Killer Bee for me!"

Killer Bee realized these monsters were under control. Coupled with the experience of the previous fight, he showed his half-tailed beast form as the best way to combat the cannibals.

The cannibals hugged Killer Bee desperately, but the chakra cloak outside his body made all their attacks ineffective.

At this time, Killer Bee launched a wide-range attack. The white bones formed on his elbows instantly penetrated them, using chakra to destroy their bodies.

Under this violent chakra, the newly formed bodies were soon annihilated.

"The power of a tailed beast is really something else."

In just an instant, all these cannon fodders lost their ability to fight. Muzan did not expect them to defeat Killer Bee; he only needed to delay for a few seconds to achieve his goal.

Muzan's figure slowly twisted in the darkness. The moment Killer Bee broke through the group of cannibals, he only saw a pair of blood-red eyes in the darkness, retreating like a wild beast and disappearing into the night.

He did not pursue. The camp was in chaos; not only were all the people in the interrogation room dead, but a large number of ninjas were also injured.

But they were not without gain.

Killer Bee was not a fool. Although his character sometimes seemed out of control, he still reached his position.

When his elder brother became the Fourth Raikage, he would be his right-hand man.

"You, take all these monsters into custody!"

The escaped cannibals were captured again, which was one of the few gains for the Cloud Ninja. If they could unlock this power, the overall strength of Kumogakure would rise to another level.

Just after saying this, the healed cannibals suddenly stiffened and let out a low roar. The severe pain caused their bodies to curl.

Then a giant hand grew from their bodies!

All the cannibals left in the camp turned into ashes, leaving Killer Bee standing there with a dark expression, gritting his teeth as he watched the scene.

"Well done, Konoha!"

Muzan would not leave cannibals behind. Any ninja who turned into a cannibal would cause great trouble by devouring flesh and blood.

He didn't want these people to spread chaos!

Only those strong enough to resist their desires could control this power; otherwise, they could only be dominated by it and become monsters!

What happened at the base camp of Kumogakure naturally could not be concealed. Konoha, on the front line, was the quickest to notice.

The ninjas lurking around saw those undead monsters with their own eyes. There were even rumors from Kumogakure that Konoha had released these monsters.

Sakumo didn't know if it was true.

He just reported the matter, so that in the Hokage's office, everyone looked at Danzo in the shadows.

In the world of Naruto, whenever conspiracies were involved, Danzo was often a suspect. But as for the cannibals appearing on the front line, Danzo denied it on the spot!

"Don't look at me like that. If I did it, I would never send cannon fodder!"

"Besides, according to Sakumo's report, these cannibals are not very strong and do not fit my style!"

Danzo denied involvement, saying that he either did nothing or went all out.

If it were really his handiwork, he would notify the strong men in the village in advance and then destroy the large army of Kumo ninja in one fell swoop.

"Who could have done this..."

The Third Hokage believed Danzo's denial, but the problem reached a dead end. Was there any strong person in Konoha not under his control?

"I'll have my people investigate."

Several nearby people glanced at Danzo's volunteering. After knowing him for so many years, who didn't know who Danzo was? If he investigated, would he ever hand over the findings?

"Let the ANBU go."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words denied Danzo, which darkened Danzo's expression even more, especially when he looked at the Third Hokage.

He made up his mind to become the Fourth Hokage!

For his plan, he must control the strong man causing trouble in the Cloud Ninja Base Camp.

In addition to Konoha, other ninja villages also learned about the situation on the battlefield.

So much so that later, a ninja with scarlet eyes appeared in the legendary ninja world. As for who this ninja was, no one knew.

Even the people involved, the Cloud Ninja, didn't know the other party's true identity.

Later, a corpse was found behind the camp. It was Kisuke from Kumogakure, which also proved Killer Bee's statement. The body was disguised as Kisuke.

As for the external publicity, they briefly described the opponent's abilities and appearance: scarlet eyes and a terrifying recovery ability.

No one knew about these things, and there was no trace of Anko and Mari in the Cloud Ninja interrogation, which meant the two were not caught.

Muzan's work was not in vain, and he relieved the Konoha members in the interrogation room.

After escaping from the Cloud Ninja camp, he found a safe place to rest. There were still two days left. In these two days, he had to find Anko and Mari and locate the grain and grass troops.

"It's almost dawn..."

Muzan looked at the ray of morning light not far away and covered his body tightly with a black robe. Only at night could he display his strength freely.

After the war is over, he must secure funds for his experiments!

Because of Muzan, the large troops of Kumogakure have not started war with Konoha for the time being. They couldn't guarantee that Konoha still had such ninjas. If there was a group of ninjas with strong resilience...

During the Third Ninja War, Kumogakure could consider persuading the Third Raikage. They didn't want to face a group of undead monsters.

The Cloud Ninja still didn't know that these monsters were afraid of the sun.

A butterfly dances lightly, causing a butterfly effect throughout the world.
