"What?!"
Obito was taken aback when he saw Hagoromo so easily deflect his Ninjutsu.
And it's a Chakra tail. "Are you Jinchūriki?"
Obito looked at Hagoromo and asked.
"Jinchūriki? You could call me that if you want." Hagoromo, in Sage Mode, shrugged upon hearing Obito's words.
Sansan absorbed the Chakra of nearly six Tailed Beasts, so he's practically half Ten-Tails now.
Obito:...
Is this guy joking with him?
"Alright, either you summon Madara Uchiha now, or I'll capture you and take you to the front lines."
Hagoromo rubbed her temples. All the arrangements she had made, along with the rewards Naruto received for his advancement, seemed utterly useless.
Even now, he could easily sweep through an army of 100,000 White Zetsu on the battlefield.
Obito didn't respond; he was about to use the Kamui Dimension to summon the Impure World Reincarnation ninjas from Naruto's side.
Um?
The next moment, Obito's face turned ugly.
Their breath had vanished.
"Don't bother, it's all here with me."
Naruto jumped down, pointed to the Six Paths figures hanging behind him, and said that he had learned Sealing Jutsu from his mother and used the Impure World Reincarnation body. His strength had already surpassed that of the previous beings.
There's no way we can't take down these guys.
I heard that the Second Mizukage and Fourth Mizukage are also present inside.
"Since you've made up your mind, Sawada Hagoromo, then let's see who's the best on the battlefield."
As he spoke, Obito's figure slowly disappeared into a vortex.
Hagoromo simply watched without intervening.
Seeing that Hagoromo didn't move, Obito simply increased his speed and disappeared from the spot.
"Teacher, are we just going to let him go like that?" Naruto scratched his head and exited Kurama Mode.
"Ah, after all, he wasn't the real Madara Uchiha." Hagoromo nodded.
"What?" Sasuke turned to look at Hagoromo. "He's not Madara Uchiha?"
"No, he's just a pathetic and pitiful guy. Naruto, tell Nine-Tails that you'll finish him off next time you meet him head-on."
Hagoromo spoke.
He didn't make a move, so Naruto and the others naturally won't either.
However, from Nine-Tails' perspective, we still need to clarify things with him.
This guy is such a tsundere.
"Ah, it's nothing. I already spoke with Kurama, and he has no objections." Naruto waved his hand; Hagoromo had already mentioned it when they arrived at Turtle Island.
This won't be the location of the main battlefield; we'll head there after Gaara finish their training.

"The first and second divisions have already encountered the White Zetsu army."
Inside the command center, Shikaku looked at the intelligence report before him and reported to the various Kage.
"Thanks to Hagoromo's sensory Barrier Ninjutsu, our unit was able to locate many hidden White Zetsu, so we didn't suffer too many losses."
At this point, Shikaku couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate. If Hagoromo hadn't left behind a scroll immediately, instructing each unit to deploy sensory ninjas...
That single blow was enough to inflict heavy losses on the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Mabui strode in and said to the various kage, "We just received news from Turtle Island that Madara Uchiha has appeared."
"What!"
The Fourth Raikage A, slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. "How's Killer B?"
Everyone else looked over, after all, this was a major event concerning the Shinobi World.
Only Hiruzen Sarutobi remained calm and collected, puffing on his pipe.
"Lord Hagoromo's message says that the Impure World Reincarnations brought by Madara Uchiha have been sealed away, and Madara Uchiha has retreated."
"However, he said before leaving that the real test would be on the front lines."
Mabui relayed the message, and everyone inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
But... that last sentence made everyone frown.
"So, everyone, please prepare to provide support in the coming days."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and looked at everyone.
"The trial of the Jinchūriki is not over yet. We cannot place our hopes on them. When Madara Uchiha appears, everyone present, including myself, will personally take part in the fight."
The Fourth Raikage A, looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi. Given Hiruzen Sarutobi's age and position, there was really no need for him to go to the front lines.
"At that time, Shikaku, I will trouble you to command the entire army."
"Yes!" Shikaku bowed slightly in agreement.
However, the group's brief moment of relaxation was shattered by another piece of news.
"The Third and Fourth Divisions discovered the Impure World Reincarnation figures; the Fourth Division encountered the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and ninjas who had died in various villages."
"The third unit encountered the Third Raikage A, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, and the Second Tsuchikage Mu."
"The First Squad has also reported that they encountered the Impure World Reincarnation led by Kinkaku and Ginkaku. The Second Squad has reported that they encountered former Akatsuki members."
As news arrived one after another, everyone's faces fell.
I never expected the counterattack to come so quickly.
"I'm going to the Fourth Division," Mei Terumi said, standing up abruptly.
"I'll go to the Third Division." Kitsuchi frowned. To be honest, the Shadow's lineup was a bit risky.
"I'll go with you." Jiraiya appeared in the doorway. "The Third Division needs one more person."
"Alright, then I'll head to the First Division." The Fourth Raikage A, had originally planned to go to the Third Division with Kitsuchi, but since Jiraiya had arrived, there was no need for that.
"I'll go with the second unit."
Hiruzen Sarutobi up and spoke directly.
"As the commander-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces, you should just sit here obediently." Ōnoki did not agree.
Hiruzen Sarutobi shouldn't be on the front lines at this time. Madara Uchiha hasn't appeared yet, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's appearance will not help the morale of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
"That's good, the Third Tsuchikage and I will go."
Tsunade Jiraiya, who followed Jiraiya in, also spoke up.
"There's no need to obstruct us; Konoha's medical unit is capable of handling the treatment. There's no point in me staying here."
Tsunade to stop Jiraiya from trying to persuade her.
Call--
Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and solemnly addressed everyone present, saying, "Then I'll leave it to you all. The Allied Shinobi Forces will surely win this battle!"
Although they knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was just giving encouragement as usual, the group couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.
If things had been done this way earlier, the Shinobi World wouldn't have needed to fight each other for so many years.
"They're gone."
Raikage A turned and walked towards the Heavenly Transfer Technique that had been set up to the side. "I will use the Heavenly Transfer Technique to head there immediately. You all do your best too."
The Mabui stepped forward and began activating the Heavenly Transfer Technique.
The next instant, a pillar of light shot into the sky, and Ōnoki opened his mouth, "A monster's physique."
Everyone present knew of the formidable reputation of the Heavenly Transfer Technique, but this was the first time they had ever seen a teleporter.
