The Hakimaster of Naruto

Chapter 249 249: The Hunter Becomes the Prey

"Damn it…"

When the figure hidden behind the rock sensed Ragnar approaching, panic surged through his mind.

It was White Zetsu.

He had been observing everything from a distance.

And yet—

He had been discovered.

How is that possible?!

His concealment technique was unparalleled.

He could merge perfectly with the natural environment, blending into the five elements themselves.

In the entire shinobi world, few could match this ability.

He tried to escape.

Half his body sank into the ground—

But suddenly—

He froze.

An invisible force locked his body in place.

He couldn't move.

Then—

He was pulled upward.

Like a carrot being yanked out of the soil.

Suspended in midair.

Weightless.

Ragnar stood calmly before him.

The power of gravity surrounded the area.

Within this field—

Weight could be removed.

Or increased.

Even direction itself could be altered.

At its peak, gravity control could rival—even surpass—the abilities of the Rinnegan.

White Zetsu dangled helplessly like a puppet.

"…Haha. What a coincidence," he said nervously.

Even in danger, his playful nature showed through.

As for fighting back?

That thought never even crossed his mind.

He knew exactly what kind of monster stood before him.

Ragnar looked at him coldly.

"How do you want to die?"

The tone was calm.

But it carried no emotion.

White Zetsu's body stiffened.

"Die?!" he shouted.

"Lord Rakshasa, let's talk this out! We can discuss anything except that!"

Ragnar didn't respond immediately.

Instead—

A massive blade appeared in his hand.

The legendary Murakumogiri.

Its enormous edge gleamed with terrifying sharpness.

White Zetsu's eyes widened.

"A… big blade?!"

"This is Murakumogiri," Ragnar said calmly.

"It can split the clouds in the sky."

"Using it to cut you down would be effortless."

He swung the blade lightly.

The air itself trembled.

Each swing passed just inches from White Zetsu's body.

Not touching him—

But close enough to make him feel death brushing against his skin.

White Zetsu began to tremble uncontrollably.

"W-Wait! If you're going to kill me, at least answer one question!"

"How did you find me?!"

His voice shook.

Even now, he couldn't accept it.

Ragnar looked at him silently.

He knew exactly what White Zetsu was doing.

Even at the cost of a clone's life—

He wanted information.

But Ragnar had no intention of revealing his secrets.

His Kenbunshoku Haki allowed him to sense everything within a wide radius.

To him—

White Zetsu's presence was like a beacon.

Impossible to hide.

But that…

Was not something he would explain.

Instead—

Ragnar released the gravity field.

Thud!

White Zetsu dropped to the ground.

He instinctively prepared to flee—

But froze again when he saw Ragnar still holding the massive blade.

Running now would be suicide.

Ragnar stabbed Murakumogiri into the ground.

Then looked at him coldly.

"Tell me."

"How long have you been watching us… White Zetsu?"

The name echoed in the air.

White Zetsu's pupils shrank instantly.

"You… how do you know my name?!"

Shock filled his face.

That name—

Should not be known to anyone.

Ragnar replied calmly.

"I just figured it out."

A simple answer.

But it struck like lightning.

White Zetsu's mind raced.

Only one person knew his true identity—

Uchiha Madara.

And now…

Ragnar.

Did that mean—

Ragnar also knew about Madara?

Impossible.

No one in the shinobi world should know Madara was still alive.

A terrifying thought surfaced.

Was Ragnar always aware of everything?

Was I the one being watched all along?

For the first time—

White Zetsu felt true fear.

He had always seen himself as the observer.

The manipulator behind the scenes.

Watching the entire ninja world like a game.

But now—

The roles had reversed.

The hunter…

Had become the prey.

Ragnar stood silently before him.

Like an immovable mountain.

And for the first time—

White Zetsu realized—

There was something in this world…

Even he could not understand.
