Chapter 125
White Zetsu spoke to Black Zetsu. He had only been discovered at the moment the spore was released—but fortunately, he had successfully planted a spore on Saitama.
"Madara has been keeping an eye on that one’s clan for a while now. Let’s observe him further... it’s time we understood everything about him," said Black Zetsu, his eyes following the direction Saitama had gone.
"Huh?" Just as the pitcher plant was about to retreat into the tree branches, White Zetsu let out a surprised noise.
"What is it?" Black Zetsu asked, slightly puzzled.
Elsewhere, Saitama was already far from the site, increasing his speed as he left. He was aware someone had been watching him.
Once he was at a safe distance, Saitama’s body suddenly sparked with intense electric currents. The electricity surged across his skin, dancing along the surface without damaging his clothing. In the blink of an eye, the current swept over his entire body.
"Tch. Better be cautious," Saitama muttered. He was certain that the one spying on him had been White Zetsu—and he knew of Zetsu’s ability to plant parasitic spores, useful for surveillance and even mind control. After putting some distance between them, he activated his Lightning Release chakra to electrocute anything foreign on his skin—effectively neutralizing any spores.
In Zetsu’s hiding place, White Zetsu’s eyes widened, the half of his face contorted in disbelief.
"My spores are... gone! I’ve completely lost perception of him!"
"Damn it... this Saitama guy isn’t easy to handle," he muttered. "No wonder Madara told us to be cautious."
Black Zetsu said nothing. His pitch-black eyes revealed nothing of his thoughts.
Without another word, the Zetsu entity sank back into the tree, leaving no trace behind.
