Chapter 295 - Cap 273: The Return of Solid Fox

"But what would I know about that?" - exclaimed Kurama as he looked at the woman seriously - "Not to mention that it was obvious that I would never think she was a v.i.r.g.i.n because of her line of work and the way she acted!"

Mei only shook her head when she heard this because there were many times when appearances can be deceiving - "We'd better go home, then you can ask Kushina-san for help"

"It's the best we can do, not to mention that we still need to discover some important things that I'm sure Kushi-chan must know" - answered Kurama seriously.

"I guess the time has come" - said Obito while looking at his teammate - "Menma finally managed to complete Edo Tensei, now we just need a little time to be able to choose a new location for our plans"

"I already have the right place, we just have to move some things and hit some loose nails" - answered Black Zetsu with neutrality - "The question is... When will you start?"

"In a few days, I want him to enjoy the few hours he has of life" - answered Obito with normality while he disappeared from the place.

"That idiot is going to regret it if he continues being this condescending" - said Black Zetsu while he shook his head - "Who am I kidding, I don't even care about that idiot..."

"I understand..." - said Nagato upon hearing the information Menma had brought him - "Well, tell me what you want"

"I want you to cure my mother" - answered Menma seriously - "And I don't want any games"

". . ." - Nagato was silent for a few seconds before nodding, not because he was afraid the blonde boy would betray them or anything, but because he needed all the help he could get, not to mention that he had recovered enough to be able to use his Rinnegan's Jutsus without fear.

Menma breathed a sigh of relief, only to return to her neutral expression. As much as he was a traitor, this action would be something he would remember in the future.

Konan, who had been watching all this, just kept silent. Now that her friend had recovered, she had only decided to accept whatever he decided.

"It is good to see that they finally come back" - said Kushina seriously when she saw the couple coming back - "If you didn't come back today, I would have gone to Kiri to bring you back".

"I guess the situation is much more serious than I was informed," answered Kurama seriously. "Please tell me what is going on"

". . ." - Mei was silent listening to the two Uzumaki speak because she did not understand what was happening.

"The truth is that during the last 4 days, countless small villages have been disappearing, even some medium-sized villages have disappeared" - answered Kushina seriously - "I am sure you have been informed who the possible culprits might be".

"!" - Mei opened her eyes in surprise when she heard this because a culprit immediately came to her mind - "Akatsuki..."

"Exactly, everything points to the fact that the culprits are those white entities that once invaded the mansion" - answered Kushina seriously as she looked at Mei, and then concentrated completely on the young redhead - "The number of missing persons, can easily reach six digits..."

". . ." - Kurama frowned when he heard this before closing his eyes.

"Kakashi asked me if I could create a seal so that he could detect these things when they move on the ground, but I honestly don't know how to get that result," replied Kushina with a worried expression.

Mei decided to let the two Uzumaki talk because she didn't know anything about Fuinjutsu.

"I think you could use the vibrations of the earth," answered Kurama as he began to think, "If these things can move underground, then they have to create at least one or two vibrations that we can use to detect them.

"Hmm... I hadn't thought of that... I guess I'll just put it into practice" - said Kushina while nodding - "Anyway, what do you plan to do now?"

"I'm going out for a while, I have something to do" - said Kurama while looking at Kushina seriously.

". . ." - Kushina was silent because she knew her husband well enough to know that he was about to do something stupid - "I just ask you not to take any risks, remember that you have a huge family and nine children now"

". . ." - Kurama was surprised by Kushina's words, though he quickly nodded - "Don't worry, I don't plan to do anything stupid, especially with so many people worried about me"

"Just keep it in mind," Kushina said seriously as she looked at the redhead disappearing.

"Where did Kurama-kun go? - asked Mei when she noticed Kushina walking out of the room alone.

"He went to settle some important matters," replied Kushina as she shook her head.

"Did he inform you about the two new potential members?" - asked Mei as she raised an eyebrow.

"No, but please don't stop, tell me all about it" - said Kushina seriously.

"I don't really know much, but I'll tell you everything he told me," replied Mei as she shrugged. She told him everything she heard from Kurama, making the beautiful Uzumaki woman only sigh because this time there was not much Kurama could do, not when he had not exactly been responsible for all this misunderstanding.

* * * * *

Kurama had reappeared on the outskirts of Amegakure no Sato territory in a different outfit from the one that had come out of the Uzumaki Tower. He was now wearing a modern military suit, a sash on his head and a small beard and eye patch.

"This place is too quiet" - murmured Kurama as he frowned because the silence of the area showed that something strange was happening here.

He slowly walked in the direction of the village, only to notice how countless White Zetsu were walking around the place.

"What happened here?" - Kurama asked with a frown, only to have his expression grow colder and colder the closer he got to the Hidden Village in the Rain. He had released some of his chakra so that he could feel the presence of some human life, only to notice how everything inside the place seemed to be extinguished, proving that there were no survivors left.

Kurama continued to advance towards the entrance of the village, only to notice how next to it there was a huge pile of corpses piled up, but his expression changed when he noticed how a small group of White Zetsu began to take them and lead them towards an unknown destination - ". . ."

Kurama was now at a crossroads, either following the Zetsu in order to discover their secret and possibly destroy it once and for all, or continuing his secret research that would possibly lead not only to the discovery of Akatsuki's base of operations, but also to the death of one or more of the remaining members.

"F.u.c.k the search, those things are much more dangerous and annoying than Akatsuki..." - murmured Kurama as he walked slowly in the direction of where the Zetsu had gone, only to hide in his trusty cardboard box as he saw a huge group of these things approaching his location.

"?" - The Zetsu could only look at each other because they were sincerely confused. They had felt an unknown presence in this place, but now that they had arrived, they didn't detect anything, they even thought that the target might be underground, but the result was the same - ". . ."

"We'd better keep on with our objectives..." - said one of the Zetsu while the others nodded, unaware of the strange cardboard box that was in place.

"I still can't understand the mystical powers of this powerful cardboard box..." - thought Kurama as he shook his head, only to continue his journey to the unknown location.

15 minutes had passed since Kurama had started his little journey, and he could finally say that he had reached his goal. The Zetsu were dragging the bodies into a cave and security had increased considerably.

"I don't know what the hell is in there, but it's not good if these things are being so serious with the level of security" - thought Kurama as he narrowed his eyes - "Now... How do I get in there without being detected?"

Kurama began to observe the surroundings, only to notice how all the spots were being carefully monitored - "Ok, this is annoying..."

Kurama was about to put everything aside and enter without caring about the consequences, when he noticed how a presence was approaching the location.

"What are you doing here, Menma?" - asked one of the Zetsu as he frowned.

"I'm here on Zetsu's orders," answered Menma neutrally. "He told me to meet him here because he wanted to talk to me about something serious.

". . ." - one of the white Zetsu closed his eyes for a few seconds, and then opened them - "Affirmative, our original just corroborated that information, you can pass"
