Summoning Once More

Just as the Fourth Raikage was filled with regret, a Sensory Ninja on duty suddenly shouted, "Who goes there?"

Everyone was startled upon hearing this; what had happened now?

Soon, under everyone's watchful eyes, a white figure poked its head out from the ground.

It was a White Zetsu clone. He looked at the three Kage, waved his hand dramatically, and said in a deliberately strange tone, "Which one of you is the Fourth Raikage? I've been ordered to make a deal."

The Fourth Raikage's heart skipped a beat. He stepped forward and asked calmly, "Where Yugito?"

This White Zetsu didn't have the intelligence required; he said, "It's right here with me."

As he spoke, he crawled out of the ground, and also pulled the Yugito out of the ground.

Upon seeing that Yugito was still alive, the Fourth Raikage breathed a sigh of relief, but then a surge of anger welled up within him.

The next moment, lightning flashed, and the Fourth Raikage had already rushed in front of the White Zetsu clone, finishing it off with a single punch.

Then the Fourth Raikage, along with Yugito, flashed back to Tsunade and the others.

The White Zetsu clone soon transformed into a tree.

Tsunade and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Especially with Rasa, if the Yugito returns, then there's no need to trade the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

But just then, another person emerged from underground.

It was Obito Uchiha. After emerging from the ground, he immediately formed the Tiger Hand Seal with both hands, then shouted and woke up.

The next moment, the Yugito in the Fourth Raikage's hand suddenly opened its eyes.

Immediately following, a large amount of Tailed Beast Chakra surged out of her body, forming two enormous blue tails.

With a single swing of its two enormous tails, it pushed the Fourth Raikage and the others away.

At that moment, Obito Uchiha had only formed one hand seal and hadn't uttered a single word, burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

After sinking into the ground, Obito Uchiha quickly used Earth Release to leave the area.

As he used Earth Release is a technique used in Chinese fantasy novels) to move away, his appearance slowly changed, eventually transforming into a pure white body.

That's right, this is also a White Zetsu clone. He came here for only one purpose: to let Tsunade and the others see the ring he was wearing on his left hand.

As for waking up Yugito Obito Uchiha Genjutsu, that was just a side mission.

Obito Uchiha's Genjutsu was well controlled; even if the White Zetsu clone hadn't shouted, Yugito would have woken up quickly.

And this White Zetsu clone was certain that his mission was complete.

Because when Tsunade and Rasa were looking at him, their gazes were mostly focused on the ring on his left hand.

This White Zetsu clone completed its mission and left immediately, but his coming and going immediately caused a stir at Hot Spring Circle.

After shaking off several shadows, the rampaging Yugito headed straight for the sealed Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Seeing this, everyone immediately understood Obito Uchiha's intention.

Obito Uchiha did indeed use Yugito a bargaining chip, but he used Yugito to forcibly break the seal on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

As Yugito charged forward, slowly Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, he even began to condense Tailed Beast Bomb.

Tsunade had just stepped back, was horrified upon seeing this and immediately bit her finger to cast Summoning Jutsu.

There are still a dozen or so Konoha elites maintaining the seal at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

The Fourth Raikage reacted even faster; his Lightning Release Chakra Mode hadn't dissipated after killing the White Zetsu.

Having just faced Obito Uchiha, he knew that Obito Uchiha's intangibility ability could make him immune to his Taijutsu attacks.

So he refrained from attacking. But this time, the Fourth Raikage did not hesitate.

He sprinted to Yugito's side in his Partial Tailed Beast Transformation.

He came up with a powerful, heavy punch.

Yugito was swept away, and the Tailed Beast Bomb she was condensing also dissipated.

However, the matter is not over yet; Yugito's Tailed Beast Transformation is accelerating.

When she landed, she was no longer human.

At that moment, Rasa's attack arrived, and a large amount of golden sand began to stop Yugito from getting closer to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

The Katsuyu summoned by Tsunade quickly stood between Yugito and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

However, Yugito quickly completed his Tailed Beast Transformation.

The enormous Two-Tails creature roared, then leaped over all obstacles and arrived directly beside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Then the Konoha ninja who were maintaining the seal on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path suffered the consequences.

No one expected that even with three Kage and two Kage-level experts, Kakashi and Ryosuke, protecting them, they would still be attacked.

These Sealing Ninja couldn't even last a single round against the attacks of a fully-formed Tailed Beast.

No, the Two-Tails didn't attack at all. It just walked by, and most of the Sealing Ninja were killed or injured.

Only some on the other side of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path remained unaffected.

They stared at the Two-Tails with bloodshot eyes, their faces pale, frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.

They had even given up the idea of maintaining the seal. In fact, there was no need to maintain it anymore. Under the attack of the Two-Tails, with most of the seal personnel gone, the seal had long since ceased to exist.

On a distant mountain, a White Zetsu clone was peeking out, peering in their direction.

The next moment, he was overjoyed and quickly burrowed underground.

Not long after, Obito Uchiha, who was at the new base, received the report from the White Zetsu.

Obito Uchiha quickly used the Summoning Jutsu again.

As expected, he successfully summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

However, the next moment, Obito Uchiha collapsed onto the head of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and passed out.

He recently summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path twice in a row, and briefly controlled the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in battle during that time, so his life force has long been overdrawn.

The Uchiha Clan's vitality is not outstanding, and Obito Uchiha, who had exhausted himself, could no longer hold on this time.

The White Zetsu that had been relentlessly supplying him with life force rapidly withered and then died.

Seeing this, the White Zetsu main body connected Obito to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's tube while simultaneously having a clone attach itself to it.

Under these dual effects, Obito Uchiha's rapidly depleted life force began to be replenished.

However, this replenishment can at most alleviate his depletion; it's impossible to completely make up for the losses.

Seeing this, Black Zetsu grinned. The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had finally returned.

At this moment, seeing the Ten-Tails' body, which he had finally obtained, being summoned away again, the Fourth Raikage was enraged and directly used Hell Stab and Four-Fingered Thrust.

Boom~

With a full-force strike, the Two-Tails beast's body was pierced directly by the blue Hell Stab.

Even though Tailed Beast are immortal, the Two-Tails couldn't help but cry out in pain after being hit so hard, and its aura weakened considerably.

It's worth noting that even when the village besieged Yichen, the Fourth Raikage didn't use this technique. This shows just how intense his anger is right now.

Two-Tails was suddenly struck hard, its movements were restricted, and Katsuyu and Rasa immediately stepped forward to finish it off.

The Katsuyu stepped forward and pinned down the Two-Tails, while Rasa manipulated a large amount of golden sand to tightly envelop the Two-Tails beast.

Then, ninjas from three ninja villages skilled in sealing techniques rushed forward and frantically resealed the Two-Tails.

Unfortunately, after Obito Uchiha twice, the number of Sealing Ninja in their three villages is running low.

The only way to seal it is for everyone to work together.

After the complete Two-Tails disappeared, revealing Yugito's body, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Kakashi and Ryosuke did not participate in the battle against the Two-Tails. Instead, they stayed with Tsunade to guard the perimeter and prevent Obito Uchiha another sneak attack.

Now that the Two-Tails has been resealed and Obito Uchiha hasn't come out, they've all relaxed a bit.

Tsunade walked over to the Fourth Raikage and Rasa, looked at the badly injured Yugito, and said, "Raikage, let me heal Yugito."

The Fourth Raikage nodded, his expression grave.

Tsunade forward and channeled her Chakra into Yugito's body to help disrupt Chakra, who might not yet be free Yugito the Genjutsu.

Only then did they begin to treat Yugito's injuries.

The injuries of Jinchuriki are often like this: they look frightening, but with the help of Tailed Beast Chakra, their recovery ability far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Therefore, with the help of Tsunade, a medical genius, Yugito quickly regained consciousness.

Upon seeing the Fourth Raikage and the others, Yugito said with some shame, "Lord Raikage, I have disappointed you."

The Fourth Raikage shook his head and said, "Space-Time Ninjutsu is too difficult to counter; the fault doesn't lie with you."

After a pause, the Fourth Raikage asked again, "You and the Two-Tails were both caught in Genjutsu. How are you now?"

Yugito quickly replied, "Don't worry, Lord Raikage, I'm fine now, Matatabi's Genjutsu."

After hesitating for a moment, Yugito said, "Lord Raikage, when I helped Matatabi break free of the Genjutsu, I noticed that the Genjutsu controlling us seemed to have weakened. I wonder if it's just my imagination."

Shikaku Nara, who was walking over from a short distance away, felt a thought and looked at the spot where the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had just disappeared.

Kakashi, who was standing nearby, saw this and asked, "Shikaku- senpai, did you find anything?"

Shikaku Nara explained to Kakashi, and Tsunade and the others who turned around upon hearing this, "I suspect it's because the ninja who used Genjutsu summoned the Ten-Tails' body."

"The Ten-Tails is enormous, and summoning it would likely consume a lot of Chakra. That person is probably under too much pressure and isn't in good condition, so they can't maintain the Genjutsu at full power."

Rasa nodded upon hearing this, finding the explanation quite logical.

His gaze toward Shikaku Nara became even more complex; this Konoha ninja was far too intelligent.

Why don't we Sunagakure have someone like that?

After thinking about it, Rasa felt that she could take this opportunity to get closer to this person.

Ask them if they have any children of marriageable age. Given the good relationship between the two villages, how about arranging a marriage between them?

The thought only flashed through Rasa's mind for a moment. Now, he should think about what to do next.

While everyone ostensibly came for the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, their real purpose was to build rapport and form an alliance to fight against Iwagakure.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is now impossible to obtain, and a preliminary alliance has been reached among the three parties to jointly target the Iwa ninja.

It's time to disband.
