Huh?

Hey! Hey Neji, are you all right?!

(struggling breath)

Yes, I'll be fine.

Just take it easy. I can use my nose to sniff out enemies, too. We aren't relying

on your eyes alone.

Let me take over for a while. You go see the Medical Corps.

There's a medical tent that's located in the rear center of every single company.

Coordinates...

(worried whine)

So, what do you know of the Akatsuki?

I thought I knew more than you did, but...

It seems that ultimately, we were both shinobi being used for others purposes.

They only kept us around because of our Visual Prowess.

It's the same as now. The caster of this jutsu is using us.

Pain, with the Rinnegan, the Six Paths' power that you possess, and with my Mangekyo Sharingan as well,

we could do anything.

The user of this jutsu intends to take advantage of my genjutsu power when the time is right.

Itachi, you have always been wrapped in darkness, even back when you were in the Akatsuki.

You two Jonin Medics over there! Please, lend me a hand! We have to resuscitate

this man quickly!

Now!

Right!

Oink... Oink! Oink!

But, are you really sure you can carry all this?

Oink!

Okay! Okay!

Just stop right there! By order of Headquarters, we Sensory-type shinobi

must verify your chakra signature before you can enter!

No one passes without confirmation!

Yes, I know that.

Hurry up and check me out.

I'll bandage it.

There. Okay, you're all set.

Great, thank you!

You take care!

Okay, please send the next one in now-

Hey, Neji!

There you go! I've taken care of your external wounds.

Thank you.

But I think you could use a break. You need to sleep and to rest your eyes.

You shouldn't overuse them.

That's easier said than done. My job right now is to discern things faster

than anyone else can and then notify Headquarters in order to improve our chances

in battle. To achieve that goal, I have to put my eyes to work.

Yeah, I know. But while you're here, try to rest.

Thank you.

All right, we have to begin our rounds now. The next tents will be F5 through G3.

Is something the matter? If you're still in pain...

(shocked gasp)

(heavy breathing)

Listen! Toyosa, Takemaru, and Hino were all found dead inside their tent!

They were murdered!

This can't be!

What's going on?

We've been infiltrated. It's the only explanation.

And it appears that they're specifically targeting our Jonin Medics.

But how did they get in? Everyone's chakra gets thoroughly verified prior to them being

allowed to enter the camp.

A simple Transformation Jutsu would be noticed. And only Allied Shinobi who've been positively

ID'd are let in.

Which must mean that a shinobi on the inside is somehow being controlled by a jutsu.

It must be powerful.

What's happened here?

Neji...

Yes, I see...

If only Allied Forces shinobi are here, it will be hard to distinguish who's responsible.

We don't know who the suspect is.

Even someone standing here right now, could secretly be the killer.

This is sure to breed suspicion among our shinobi.

And that's the enemy's aim.

We Medical Ninja are critical.

Without us, our battle strategy can't succeed.

We're fighting those under the Reanimation Jutsu. There's just no way to confront

them without medics as backup to heal the injured.

If we let this paralyze us now, we'll lose the battle that starts at dawn.

Then I'll make sure to find who's responsible with my very own eyes.

In the meantime,

we can't neglect our treatment of the wounded. We'll continue to treat them.

We'll just need to watch our backs. Especially the Jonin Medics.

It's almost time. We're going to have to start going back on rounds any minute now.

Yeah, I know.

So, uh, listen, tell me something. Where did you and I...

...first meet?

Huh?

Look, it's not that I'm suspicious of you or anything like that! I mean, of course I'm

not! But, I, uh... It's just... Well, I...

You are suspicious!

(gasps)

Oh, it's only you, Neji. Please don't scare us like that!

Whatever. Where is Sakura right now, anyway?

Why? Did something happen?

I just saw someone suspicious skulking around here. I was tailing him through

the camp, but then I lost him.

Thinking back, I seem to recall that he's been hanging around Sakura.

Sakura's in tent number three right now.

The guy you followed can you please tell us what he looked like?

Let's see...

Well, actually...

(gasps)

He looks exactly like me.

Oh! It's you. You came back. Are your wounds bothering you?

(nervous gasp)

No, I...

I feel just fine now.

But, the thing is. Well ever since you treated me, I, uh...

To be honest, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you.

What is this?

It's... a love letter.

Uhh...

Next time, when I go back into battle, there isn't any guarantee that I'm

going to return alive...

So...

Thanks for this.

But, I... I have someone else already, though, you see.

Hmm... Sure, of course.

I suppose that he's a Leaf, too.

Well, a rejected man like me has no right to pry into who you love. Even a shinobi

like me knows that's really rude.

All right then, I guess I should go now.

I'm sorry...

Good luck, I hope everything works out for you. If you love him...

...then he must be a good man.

(sigh)

What do you think is happening? Why are they going through such pains to keep us

separate from the enemy?

Are they not going to use your genjutsu after all?

Right now it's nighttime with both sides at a stalemate.

But I'm certain that soon enough, Madara will use us to break the silence.

He's got something up his sleeve.

But this Reanimation Jutsu has been brought into play by Madara's new ally.

It doesn't figure into Madara's original plans.

Is that what's going on?

Probably.

You doing all right?

Yes, Neji.

It's easy to get discouraged. We don't even know who it is that we're supposed to

fighting right now. It's troubling.

I know. We have to be careful.

Yes...

Are you sure that you don't need me to take you to the Medical Corps? It sure seems

like you could use it!

You're getting on my nerves Kiba! I told you, I'm going to be fine!

You totally overused your Byakugan and could barely stand up! You don't need to try

and show off in front of you subordinates!

Just shut up, Kiba!

What the hell? You can't tell the difference between a dog and a man?

Your visual prowess is supposed to be your specialty!

Hinata, don't overextend yourself.

You don't need to. My Parasitic Insects have spread out to look for the enemy, as well.

Thanks, Shino. I really appreciate your concern.

However, I need to push myself now.

Because this war is a fight to protect Naruto! We cannot lose, no matter what!

By the way, Sakura, where is Captain Shizune right now?

Huh? Why? Have you figured out what's going on?

Maybe, a little bit. But I think we should report anything, no matter

how trivial. Until we finally locate the suspect.

Hm. I think she's in tent B-2. She's still busy treating Tonton right now.

One leg is very badly sprained.

Well, better it's a leg than a hand, I suppose.

Will Tonton be able to rejoin the battle?

Probably. Tonton can still weave signs, since the hand remains uninjured.

I see. That's good. Can I ask you a favor, Sakura?

Would you mind taking a look at my arm again? It's still bothering me.

Sure!

Take a seat over here.

Ahh!

But, how did you know?!

'Cause pigs don't have hands! Ya big fake!

(aggravated grunt)

Probably. Tonton can still weave signs, since the hand remains uninjured.

Are you telling me that Tonton is just a pig?!

She tricked me!

Yeah, that's right! And that makes you the murderer!

(painful screaming)

Spill it! How were you able to recreate Neji's chakra?!

You better tell me what kind of jutsu it is if you don't want me to hit you again!

This Transformation Jutsu isn't anything you can possibly handle! Do you truly

believe that I am the only clone who's managed to infiltrate your ranks?

(gasp)

This is what was in Captain Yamato's reports.

A note regarding Parasitic Clones. It was thought the Raikage and Killer

Bee took down Kisame Hoshigaki. But it now appears he switched places with a parasitic

clone or some type of Transformation Jutsu. This transformation replicates the target's

chakra, so it's difficult to detect. At the Five Kage Summit, Zetsu of the Akatsuki suddenly

emerged from people's bodies. He had absorbed their chakra.

So this guy transformed into Neji, of course!

I get it. You use the chakra that you absorb from someone, then copy them and

and their chakra! Is that right?!

(struggling grunt)

There are just too many of them!

And they absorb chakra, too.

She's quite a smart girl.

Uh, maybe, but then again, maybe not.

You maybe able to camouflage yourself well, but you're not very good at lying, are you?

What's going on? We heard some commotion in here!

Wha-What's this?! Who's he?!

I have to contact HQ immediately! You two secure him.

You were transporting too heavy a load, Tonton.

(embarrassed snorts)

What happened?!

Sakura has an emergency!

We have to let Lady Shizune know!

Finish up, already! Remember, we're both gonna be up next for guard duty.

I totally had to go more than you did. Look at my ripples in the water compared to yours.

Ripples? Are you kidding me?

Tetsu, you really 'oughta go to, you know. It's a long shift.

Tetsu, don't stand behind me when I pee! Give a guy a little privacy, would ya?

Well then, how about instead, I make you bleed?

Tetsu?! What the-

Another one!

We have reports from all regiments! Our comrades are falling victim to multiple

surprise attacks!

It's chaos! We don't know who the enemy is!

What could be going on?! It's doubtful that they'd launch a night raid. Sensory

ninja watch each camp, and we've increased patrols.

So why can't we detect the enemy?!

Is it some kind of poison? What's the condition of the corpses?

All of them received external wounds! So, they're physical attacks!

Someone from the outside must be using some sort of control genjutsu, on them.

(gasp)

Itachi...

Itachi Uchiha's the only one that I know of that my Sensory Unit couldn't detect, but

could still use genjutsu to manipulate someone like that.

But controlling this many people at once in multiple locations is impossible!

Even for Itachi!

Wait, hold on! There's word from the Medical Corps!

It seems that the enemy is- White Zetsu has been impersonating various Allied Forces

shinobi! He's able to mirror our chakra imprints!

That explains it.

If one of our shinobi had his chakra absorbed during the daytime battle...

White Zetsu can fully transform into him!

Well, Shikaku? What should we do? There's no way that we can tell friend from foe, now.

How do we prepare to fight when dawn comes? If we don't discover a way to tell the difference

fast, we will lose time, plus all our men will be endangered! In the end they could

wind up killing each other by mistake!

So this was White Zetsu's ability all along, huh? The battle during the daytime was

to set up these secret nighttime assaults.

That was the enemy's true motive.

I need to think. Be calm. I can solve this if I calmly analyze the situation!

Sort and evaluate. Review all of the intel I have on this war. What's useful?

What's our counter plan? Be cool, be calm, but do it quickly. Calm, cool, but quick.

Don't let them touch you. That's because if they do, they'll absorb our chakra!

Easier said than done! How can we take them down without touching them?

I just sent out a messenger owl. So the sealing corps should arrive in just a little

while to seal up this mine.

And what, we're just supposed to wait until then?

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: White Zetsu's Trap.

How many of them are there?!
