"Wind...Lord Kazekage?! This... how is this possible?!"
Just now, the last snake head that screamed crazily was chopped off by the wind blade and fell heavily to the ground. Facing Eight-Headed Serpent who was trying to regenerate its head, Menma did not hesitate at all. He quickly Hand Seals his hands, and the powerful Sealing Jutsu style instantly enveloped the huge headless snake body, completely imprisoning it.
Sure enough, it was just an abandoned child used to delay time. Menma sensed the empty remains of the giant snake and confirmed that Orochimaru's true body had already been Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell.
Then, control in the heart, one of the Nine-Headed Beasts, Vermilion Bird, who is responsible for guarding the Rasa, Kushina and Mito sealed cocoon, is holding a sealed rune The tightly bound figure landed steadily next to Menma. It threw the figure on the ground casually, it was Fourth Kazekage, Rasa! In other words, it was his sealed Edo Tensei Body.
Menma raised his hand and temporarily released part of the seal. When Rasa's pale, stiff, lifeless face, the captured Baki, and the other Sunagakure Ninja who witnessed this scene, their pupils suddenly shrank, and the blood on their faces faded, as if the sky had collapsed.
Baki instantly understood everything, why Kazekage's recent decisions during this period were so abnormal, and why he was so determined to cooperate with Otogakure to launch this seemingly reckless war even under the threat of [Jin]... It turned out that the "Kazekage" they had been loyal to and obeyed during this period had already been assassinated and replaced by Orochimaru!
All of them, Sand Village, were manipulated and became pawns and cannon fodder for Orochimaru to realize its ambitions!
Menma's eyes swept across the crowd of Sunagakure who were in great shock and despair. His voice, which had been changed and had no emotion at all, reached everyone's ears.
"It seems that dragging Sunagakure into the war was not your original intention. Sunagakure's behavior and gullibility should have paid the price of destruction."
"But, considering that you are also victims... I will give you a chance. Take your Kazekage's remains and get back to the desert. If you dare to have any war intentions again... Sand Village will be completely wiped off the Ninja World map."
"Plop..."
Baki's legs weakened and he could no longer hold up. He knelt down straight on the ground, his face ashen. The huge shame and fear were intertwined with the joy of surviving the disaster, so that he completely lost the courage to even raise his head.
The other Sunagakure Ninja was even more silent, trembling all over and not even daring to breathe.
After doing superficial work and successfully frightening the remnants of Sunagakure, Menma's mind immediately returned to the real goal - the snake must be pulled out as soon as possible. In his understanding, Orochimaru's final use of Eight Branches Technique was by no means a simple death struggle. The guy must have a backup plan and would never give up easily.
He must be completely solved before he causes bigger troubles... or at least be imprisoned or sealed to avoid future troubles.
"Please... please wait!"
The old and urgent voice sounded again. Seeing that the chakra around Menma was shaking slightly, and he was about to leave, Hiruzen Sarutobi called him again. Even through the mask, Third Hokage could feel the trace of impatience emanating from the other party... But he had no choice. The question was like a bone in his throat, and he had to ask it.
"Your Excellency Menma! Can you... lend me a moment to speak? I have a question... Please, I won't delay you for too long!"
Question? A trace of doubt flashed through Menma's heart. At this time, what questions do you have to ask me alone? Looking at this posture, it seems that it is a secret that cannot be heard by other Konoha Ninja?
He thought quickly and couldn't figure out Third Hokage's purpose for the moment. On the main body's side... the war had basically subsided. Even if Orochimaru tried to run away, the main body would catch him, and he wouldn't be able to escape from Land of Fire's range for a while.
Menma finally nodded slightly, acquiescing.
The two figures flashed and returned to the devastated roof of the Chunin Ninja Exams venue covered with traces of battle. The Anbus below looked up nervously. Although they were full of worries, under the command of Third Hokage's stern eyes, no one dared to take a step forward. They could only watch Hokage being alone with that mysterious guy again.
On the roof, after a brief silence, Third Hokage seemed to have exhausted all his strength, took a deep breath, stared at the holes in the mask with his weather-beaten eyes, and finally asked the question that had been lingering for a long time and almost exhausted him.
"Are you... are you...Minato?"
"...???"
What is this guy talking about?
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute! Okay, okay, the battle is over! We are just meeting for the first time, there is no need to fight to the point of life and death!"
An extremely out-of-touch and funny voice echoed on the battlefield. Masked Man, who calls himself "Tobi", is in an awkward, rolling and crawling posture, dangerously avoiding attacks from all directions.
The ground around him was already devastated, filled with deep ravines and black pits, and there were even a few ominous black flames that were still burning tenaciously, turning everything they touched into ashes.
"Really, if I had known better, I shouldn't have agreed to Senior Orochimaru coming to help! But Senior himself has been completely defeated!"
Tobi was dodging in a hurry while shouting loudly in a complaining tone, "Why don't we all take a step back and stop here? Peace brings wealth!"
However, Shisui Uchiha, who was standing opposite him, did not relax at all because of the other party's exaggerated performance and words. His scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan watched everything calmly.
Able to control Tailed Beast, and still able to handle the attack just now...Shisui is sure that this guy's performance, like the mask on his face, is a carefully designed disguise.
In the previous fight, Tobi was indeed alarmed to realize that Shisui seemed to have vaguely grasped some of the laws of his [Kamui] virtualization ability. Therefore, even though the ability was still there at the moment, he deliberately pretended to be trapped and surrounded by dangers.
Now that the plan to destroy Konoha has failed again... Tobi thought to himself, but his main purpose is not here. It seems that it is time to evacuate.
"I really envy you for being so energetic!" Tobi continued to speak in that exaggerated tone, "But I am already tired, and my stomach is growling with hunger... Do you like eating dumplings? But it seems that we haven't gotten to know each other well enough, right? Haha!"
"Don't even think about escaping! Fire Release·The Art of the Fire Dragon!"
Shisui was not moved at all, his hands quickly Hand Seals, chakra surged! Several ferocious flame dragons condensed instantly and swooped towards Tobi!
"Wow! Wait a minute! I haven't decided what to call this ninjutsu yet!" Tobi screamed in panic.
Just before the giant flame dragon was about to engulf him, his body quickly sank into the ground without warning, as if melting into the water, and disappeared without a trace.
The blazing flames swept through, turning the area into scorched earth again. When Kakkō dispersed, only an empty hole was left in place, and no trace of Tobi was found.
"Huh... it's so dangerous~" Far away from Konoha Village, on the branches of a towering tree, the space was slightly distorted, and Tobi's figure appeared out of thin air.
He patted his chest and said to himself in his trademark off-beat tone, "Why do I, a little trainee, have to face such a monster-level opponent... Oh! I have an idea!"
He suddenly snapped his fingers, "The technique just now is called - the Ninja Technique: The Mole-Knocking Technique! How about it? It's very appropriate, isn't it?"
At this moment, on the tree trunk next to him, a humanoid creature with a strange appearance, like a giant flytrap, half black and half pure white, appeared slowly and silently.
"The leader of [Jhin] has appeared." Jue said, "Orochimaru used Impure World Reincarnation to summon the first two Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Fourth Kazekage, but they were all defeated and sealed by the 'Menma' in less than ten minutes."
"Wow! I can't believe it! I lied to you." Tobi immediately exclaimed in an exaggerated tone,
"Everything is as I expected."
But the next second, his voice suddenly changed, becoming low and cold, as if he had changed into a different person in an instant.
He slowly turned his head, and the only eye exposed under the mask looked through the hole at Zee. "So, can it be confirmed? Who is the true identity of the leader of the organization...?"
"Well," Jue replied affirmatively, "I saw... Although it was short-lived, I clearly saw the true face of that guy under the mask."
