The Fifth Hokage Made a Brief Appearance

Time flew by as the four of them chased each other.

Obito Uchiha's body Self-Healing rapidly, but his heart grew increasingly panicked.

No one has ever tried to place Ninjutsu or Ninja Tools in the space where his body is while he Hollowfication, and no one knows what the final result will be.

But Obito Uchiha really didn't dare to try.

If his heart and brain were shredded by the Rasengan the instant the illusion transforms into reality, could he really survive?

What's even more infuriating is that Naruto Uzumaki would place the Rasengan at Obito's center of gravity to make it harder for Obito to dodge, while also maliciously shifting his hand a few inches to the left or right.

That position was incredibly awkward; even without causing any harm, it was enough to make Obito Uchiha in a cold sweat.

Obito was Chunin chased around by the three Chunin from Team 7, and before he knew it, his twisted killing intent had dissipated.

Three Chunin to make the mighty Obito Uchiha humiliated; it's truly shameful.

What?

Was Obito Uchiha also Chunin?

Okay, that's all for now.

When Obito Uchiha's [Hollowfication] reached its limit and could no longer continue, he chose to suddenly deactivate Hollowfication just as Uchiha Sasuke's Kunai pierced through his body.

Something amazing happened.

Obito Uchiha and Uchiha Sasuke's Kunai did not overlap; instead, an extra space appeared out of thin air, causing the overlapping matter to shift apart.

As the two Uchiha were staring at each other in bewilderment, Naruto Uzumaki activated [Swift Style] and started [Emperor Engine], transforming into an invisible whirlwind and charging forward.

He punched the still-unconscious Obito Uchiha away, grabbed Sasuke with his other hand, and charged towards Sakura Haruno.

When the three Chunin Team 7 reunited, Obito Uchiha finally realized what was happening. His aura exploded, and his forgotten killing intent returned.

After a game-like prelude, the real battle is about to begin.

Naruto Uzumaki cracked his neck and said, "Sasuke, Sakura, give it your all!"

"If you can't hold out, hurry and chase after the main force, and call for backup."

Uchiha Sasuke scoffed, "Naruto, you're stronger than me, but I'm strong too, okay? Who said you have to run away when facing Kage-level Ninja?"

Sakura Haruno felt the boiling Chakra brought about by the [Yin Seal Release] within her body, and was also eager to fight against the powerful enemy.

The chase they had just experienced gave them both a great deal of confidence.

Naruto Uzumaki shook his head and said, "I knew you wouldn't give up, but you have to go all out, and if things really get too bad, you have to run."

"After all, this guy was the culprit who drove the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha and caused the death of the Fourth Hokage."

Uchiha Sasuke Sakura Haruno were taken aback. "What? It's that mysterious Uchiha who fought the Fourth Hokage?"

Sasuke a deep breath and nodded, "I understand, Naruto. I'll give it my all. If it doesn't work, I'll retreat with Sakura and won't hold you back."

Sakura Haruno also said, "I will go with Sasuke. Before I leave, I will leave Katsuyu- sama to support you."

Uchiha Sasuke and Sakura Haruno exchanged a glance, then simultaneously bit their right thumbs and Hand Seals to unleash Ninjutsu.

[Summoning Technique]

After the two large plumes of white smoke dissipated, Red Serpent and Blue-and-White Katsuyu appeared on the battlefield, as if a reunion of the Konoha Sannin was about to take place, or perhaps a gathering of the Three Great Sage Lands.

Unfortunately, the giant Toad from Mount Myōboku was missing.

The two giant summoning beasts, each over 15 meters tall, made Obito Uchiha slightly, but he wasn't afraid; he just felt a bit of trouble.

A huge size does not necessarily increase combat power, otherwise the Tailed Beast would have been invincible long ago. However, a huge size certainly brings amazing defense and endurance, and they will not be easily defeated.

Obito Uchiha his tongue, thinking to himself, "If I had known he was a disciple of the Konoha Sannin, I should have come with Deidara."

But thinking about his disheveled appearance just now, he muttered with relief, "Oh well, it's better that he didn't come. It's just a bit of a hassle."

"Besides, without Akatsuki members around, I can use Ninjutsu more effectively."

Obito Uchiha a single hand seal, using the power of his inner half of his body. This time, the scale of Chakra he mobilized was unprecedented.

[Wood Release: Descent of the Sea of Trees]

The earth trembled, the yellow sand rippled, and then half-dried branches emerged from the sand, binding the Serpent Garaga and the Katsuyu.

The giant red Serpent, Garaga, was not skilled in Fire Style, but rather in Earth Release Senjutsu. It opened its mouth and spat out a transparent sap, instantly petrifying any branches that came into contact with it, rendering them completely lifeless and tough, and easily crushing them with the Serpent's body.

Katsuyu are the ninja beasts least afraid of being entangled or injured in the Ninja World. When entangled by a half-dried branch, they split into tens of thousands of palm-sized Katsuyu, which then began to gnaw on the branches created by Wood Release.

Clearly, these branches were a delicious treat to the Katsuyu, and the rustling sound of them gnawing on them even drowned out the squeaking and creaking of the branches as they grew.

Obito Uchiha was surprised that his Wood Release was so easily broken, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he made hand Hand Seals with his fingers flying, finally stopping at the "Tiger" seal, and put his hands to his mouth.

[Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation]

It was the Ninjutsu that the Uchiha were most skilled at. A towering Kakkō shot out from Obito's mouth, the flames piling up and rising in layers, transforming into a the Heat red giant wave.

The towering flames, like surging waves, instantly engulfed the forest created by Obito Uchiha, igniting the entire forest area of several hundred square meters and turning it into a true Sea of Fire.

The air was scorching and distorted, turning the parched Forest into a scorching inferno!

The Serpent Garaga, with Uchiha Sasuke in its mouth, burrowed into the yellow sand, avoiding the scorching flames.

The Katsuyu were too scattered; a single small Katsuyu could not withstand the scorching flames. They could only try to gather together, turning into a dozen or so large Katsuyu, and forcefully break through by spewing acid.

The Katsuyu did not forget Sakura Haruno; together they carried her out of the Sea of Fire.

Only Naruto Uzumaki remained in the fire, but his body was covered in an orange flame Tailed Beast Cloak, and a fluffy flame tail stood upright behind him.

He cooperated with the Nine-Tails and entered a Partial Tailed Beast Transformation One-Tail State, completely ignoring the small flames spewed out by Obito Uchiha, relying on the Nine-Tails' stronger flames.

"Here we go!" Naruto Uzumaki bent over, assuming a charging stance.

"The troublesome guys are all gone, let's go!" Nine-Tails shouted in Naruto's mind, filled with the passion of battle.

BOOM!

Naruto stomped a large hole in the ground and Obito Uchiha like a fiery meteor, creating a path through the Sea of Fire.

Obito Uchiha was shocked and instinctively used his strongest Fire Style defensive Secret Technique.

[Fire Style: Uchiha Flame Formation]

Naruto Uzumaki's right hand, wrapped in a thick layer of Nine-Tails Chakra, materialized into a sharp claw, which he fiercely gripped the red wall of flames.

Amidst the deafening roar, Naruto failed to break through the walls of the fire array and was thrown over by the recoil, his head spinning.

Obito Uchiha regained his composure and sneered at Naruto Uzumaki, who was standing right in front of him. "The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki dares to appear before me? You're asking for death!"

Obito quickly Hand Seals and, using the blood in his body, performed Summoning Secret Technique.

[Summoning Technique: Nine- Nine-Tails]

The Nine-Tails inside Naruto Uzumaki suddenly felt a tightness in its body, only then realizing that it had once again been controlled by the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

It turns out to be a Sharingan seal left by Madara Uchiha. Although it had already been used by Obito once, and a full 16 years had passed, it could still be activated by another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan at a relatively close distance.

Although this time it will not directly suppress the Nine-Tails ' will or replace its spirit, it still demonstrates enough power to pull it out of its seal.

"No! Naruto!" Nine-Tails roared in terror, "Madara Uchiha! Obito Uchiha! You're not allowed to hurt Naruto!"

Obito Uchiha grinned smugly; the Nine-Tails was about to be his.

At this crucial moment, the Fifth Hokage Shazo, suddenly spoke from within the Nine-Tails ' seal, "Who is it?"

"Who dares to touch the Nine-Tails seal that I have reinforced?"

"Don't you know that Naruto Uzumaki is my disciple, Shazo's disciple?"

"You're courting death!!"

Nine-Tails: "----"

The dumbfounded fox was completely dumbfounded; wasn't this the seal that imprisoned it?

Why can just anyone hide in here?

Oh, it doesn't seem that casual.

Previously, it was the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, and his wife who set up the seal. As the designer and builder, it's normal for him to leave himself a backdoor.

Now the strongest Ninja in the Ninja World, the Fifth Hokage Shazo, as the one who reinforced the seal a second time, it's perfectly normal for him to leave himself a backdoor.

Basic operation, don't be silly!

But ultimately, this is the seal of its Nine-Tails. Doesn't anyone respect the master of this seal?

Without needing anyone's answer, Nine-Tails) immediately lost heart.

The owner of this seal is essentially a prisoner imprisoned within it; Naruto Uzumaki is the jailer, while the Fourth Hokage and Fifth Hokage are the Warden.

There was definitely no right for Nine-Tails to speak.

But then, thinking about her current situation, Nine-Tails suddenly felt that having a powerful Warden wasn't so bad; at least she wouldn't be easily captured by the Mangekyō Sharingan anymore.

Just as Nine-Tails was expecting the Chakra Fifth Hokage to manifest a form of condensed chakra, like the Fourth Hokage, and repel the invading Mangekyō Sharingan power, a massive ocular power suddenly emerged from the Sealing Space.

It was indeed ocular power, not Chakra, and in both quality and quantity, it far surpassed that Mangekyō Sharingan.

Nine-Tails couldn't understand. Although the Fifth Hokage was famous for his numerous Kekkei Genkai, he had never heard of him possessing Dōjutsu- type Kekkei Genkai.

The immense power of the eye coalesced, revealing a red Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan.

The Nine-Tails was only glancing at this eye out of the corner of its eye when it was stunned by the terrifying power of the eye and lost consciousness.

The Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan stared at the Mangekyō Sharingan power that was pulling at the Nine-Tails, and with a flash of its eyes, it ruthlessly severed it.

Then, the Nine-Tails was thoroughly cleaned from head to tail, completely eliminating any potential dangers.

Then, this terrifying eye projected terrifying ocular power, flowing upstream along the Mangekyō Sharingan Obito Uchiha's eyes, and further into his brain.

Obito Uchiha as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer, his Mangekyō Sharingan instantly becoming bloodshot.

If that eye power hadn't sensed the Sharingan's limits and deliberately withdrawn some of its power, this precious [Kamui] Mangekyō Sharingan would have exploded on the spot.

However, Obito Uchiha temporarily lost his sight, and his head was buzzing. He couldn't hear anything and could only stand stiffly in place, barely maintaining his balance so that he wouldn't fall forward onto the Wall of Flames of the [Uchiha Flame Formation] and be burned to ashes by his own Ninjutsu.

Thank goodness for this Wall of Flames; otherwise, once he recovered, the menacing Naruto Uzumaki would definitely have rushed up, gouged out his eyes, and then smashed his dog head off.

In fact, Naruto Uzumaki so terrified that his limbs went weak. When the Nine-Tails was being controlled by the opponent's Mangekyō Sharingan and pulled outwards, he felt unprecedented pain.

Tailed Beast are said to have inexhaustible Chakra, but this actually refers to their ability to replenish it continuously. Within a limited time, the Chakra of Tailed Beast also has an upper limit.

However, even the Tailed Beast with the least Chakra still have far more Chakra than Ninja, except for Chakra Monsters like Hashirama Senju, Shazo, Kisame Hoshigaki.

Therefore, forcibly sealing so much Chakra into the Human Body is an extremely painful process.

No matter how perfect the seal design, no matter how skilled or experienced the Ninja performs the technique, it cannot alleviate the pain that the Jinchuriki suffers when sealed.

Every Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast was a powerful individual who combined strength and luck; the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline itself was a form of Luck.

However, all the surviving Jinchuriki regarded the sealing process as taboo, and remained silent about the pain they experienced, as if just thinking about it would make them want to die from the pain.

Many of the Jinchuriki even turned against their villages because the sealing process was too painful.

For example, Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, became mortal enemies with the Third Tsuchikage.

Becoming Jinchuriki is already excruciating, but to have such a large thing pulled out of one's body would be fatal.

Successfully sealing the beast and becoming Jinchuriki means that the Ninja's meridians have expanded to their maximum extent, enough to contain the Chakra of the Tailed Beast.

Such changes in the internal Chakra environment are irreversible. Once the Tailed Beast is extracted, the meridians that have expanded to their maximum extent will collapse, leading to meridian congestion and ultimately endangering life.

Don't delude yourself into thinking that resealing the Tailed Beast will save the Jinchuriki's life.

How can a collapsed train tunnel be reopened using trains?

It is clear that the collapsed tunnel can only be reopened by reconstruction.

Jinchuriki whose Tailed Beast has been extracted is considered dead; only by using Super Ninjutsu to revive them can they be brought back to life.

Naruto Uzumaki had just experienced the excruciating pain of his entire body's meridians being torn apart, and at the same time, he felt the approach of death.

There is great terror between life and death.

Naruto Uzumaki was genuinely terrified.
