Kabuto Yakushi's last spy mission

After laughing enough, Madara Uchiha said, "The Hokage is nothing special."

"Hashirama, let me show you the true power of the Rinnegan. This power is derived from your very flesh and blood!"

Madara Uchiha looked smug and simultaneously Hand Seals with the massive Susanoo, completing three different seals.

[Tengai Shinsei]

A muffled hum came from high above, and the air pressure was rising rapidly. Soon, two huge meteorites, hundreds of meters in diameter, pushed through the newly gathered clouds and fell vertically toward the location of the three Hokage.

In general, meteorites without flames don't travel very fast, so their power isn't particularly terrifying.

Okay, that means astronomical levels aren't scary enough.

Such a massive meteorite, large enough to blot out the sky, possessed a weight and a descent speed sufficient to destroy everything within a radius of several kilometers.

Such a large area is enough to completely cover Konoha. In the Ninja wars of the Ninja World, this is a standard village-targeting Ninjutsu, enough to destroy any one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

However, using [Tengai Shinsei] to attack the Impure World Reincarnation Hashirama Senju was the most inappropriate application, and it was destined to fail in killing any of the Hokage.

But Madara Uchiha was willing to do it. His power surpassed Hashirama's, and he wanted to defeat him using methods Hashirama had witnessed. What difference was there between that and secretly plotting against him?

Madara Uchiha felt unsatisfied after laughing, so he decided to use the Rinnegan Secret Technique, which, while not the most powerful, had the strongest visual effect, to show off.

Madara Uchiha off to others, but he enjoyed showing off to Hashirama Senju.

Otherwise, I would have sealed him away just now.

Beside Tobirama Senju, a mass of Impure World Reincarnation was gathering, revealing the form of the Third Hokage.

As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his eyes, he felt that the environment was too dark and the air pressure was wrong. He looked up alertly and saw the awe-inspiring meteorite.

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly felt extremely wronged.

He was merely a relatively strong Kage-level Ninja, lacking the immense power of Super Kage Level, and without the Space-Time Ninjutsu allowed him to move without a trace. On this battlefield that surpassed the Kage Level, there was nothing he could do.

Up to now, Hiruzen Sarutobi hasn't even been able to get close to Madara Uchiha, let alone touch the hem of his clothes.

In that brief exchange, Hiruzen Sarutobi was shredded by Madara Uchiha's Wood Release just as he left the First Hokage's Forest.

It recovered only to be shattered once more by the invisible forces of humanity, then was unintentionally shattered by the Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, and now it's about to be shattered again under such a massive meteorite.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to cry but couldn't. He could only open his mouth and curse, "----Damn it."

He didn't know exactly who deserved to die.

Hashirama Senju wasn't nervous at all; he even laughed, "Oh, Madara's Rinnegan looks amazing, definitely stronger than mine now."

Tobirama Senju, who had been very worried, suddenly became relaxed after Madara Uchiha launched his attack. He said to his brother, "Brother, Madara Uchiha is attacking us now, why are you praising him?"

Hashirama Senju retorted, "Tobirama, strength is strength. You're strong even if I don't say so."

"Oh dear, I wish I could come back to life. At least I could break those two meteorites."

"Ah, no, if I come back to life, my power will become very strong, and Madara will also become stronger. I still can't beat him. What should I do?"

Tobirama Senju reluctantly shut his mouth and closed his eyes.

I really want to smash my Big Brother's head open. Anyway, he won't die a second time without his head. Should I give it a try?

Minato Namikaze was still communicating with Nine-Tails), but actually Nine-Tails was now pestering him for help.

[Minato, let's join forces and fight Madara Uchiha!]

[Kurama, if you directly join the battle, you'll be exposed to the Rinnegan. Aren't you worried about being captured by Madara Uchiha?]

[Afraid? Yes, I am very afraid, but you told me that fear won't solve anything. At this crucial moment, I won't abandon my friend.]

[Kurama, thank you.]

[You're welcome, Minato, we're friends.]

[Besides, we've been simulating "that technique" for so long, but we haven't actually put it into practice even once. I want to give it a try.]

[Alright, let's work together and show the Ninja World how powerful we are!]

Minato Namikaze suddenly used the Body Flicker Technique to move forward about a hundred meters. This distance was not even enough to escape the direct hit of the meteorite, but it attracted the attention of everyone, including Madara Uchiha.

Minato ignored Madara Uchiha, looked up at the two approaching meteors, and said with a smile, "I'm counting on you, Kurama."

In his mind, Nine-Tails happily replied, "[Minato, you can rest assured and leave everything to me!]"

Suddenly, Minato Namikaze emitted waves of Tailed Beast Chakra, his aura surged rapidly, and even a red Tailed Beast Cloak appeared.

One after another, the tails of the Tailed Beast, representing their strength, appeared, quickly forming a dense array.

Madara Uchiha exclaimed in shock, "Nine-Tails Chakra! Minato Namikaze, you are the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"How could you be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were equally surprised. "How could the Fourth Hokage be Jinchuriki?"

The Third Hokage suddenly slapped his forehead. "I remember now, when Minato sealed the Nine-Tails, Naruto had just been born and couldn't contain the entire Nine-Tails, so he split the Nine-Tails in two and sealed the Yin Release Nine-Tails into his own body."

Tobirama Senju asked, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stammered, "I... I don't remember."

Madara Uchiha thought further, "The Fourth Hokage was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and so was Naruto Uzumaki. Why would the Fifth Hokage send a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to me?"

Minato Namikaze's transformation continued; his red Tailed Beast Cloak shimmered with gold, transforming into a shimmering golden Nine-Tails Chakra, followed by the appearance of dark patterns.

These patterns act like meridians, bringing the Nine-Tails Chakra under control and circulating it efficiently.

This is proof that the Yin Release Kurama (Nine-Tails) completely trusted Minato, not only giving him all its power without reservation, but also lowering its own status to actively assist Minato in controlling its Chakra.

It can only be said that Minato Namikaze's affability far surpasses that of his son. In 16 years of getting along, he completely won over the heart of the Yin Release Nine-Tails, who was willing to open his heart completely.

Thanks to Nine-Tails's absolute trust and Minato Namikaze's powerful Talent, he skipped the [Nine-Tails Chakra Mode] stage of the original timeline Naruto and directly entered the stronger and more stable [Kurama Mode].

In Kurama Mode, Minato Namikaze felt his chakra perfectly fused with Nine-Tails 'Chakra. This wasn't a case of 1+1+2, but rather an exponential increase in essence.

If we say that the [Nine-Tails Chakra Mode] is a chemical enhancement effect where one explosive is mixed with another, resulting in a doubling or even several times the explosive power.

The [Kurama Mode] involves mixing a neutron source with uranium-235 and reaching a critical value, resulting in a nuclear explosion effect after mass loss.

Minato Namikaze even sensed that the sublimated Nine-Tails Chakra was exceptionally controllable; he seemed to be able to achieve Complete Tailed Beast Transformation while maintaining his own rationality and form.

Now that I've thought of it, I might as well give it a try.

Minato Namikaze communicated with Nine-Tails (the Nine-Tails Minato Namikaze) and received a cheer from Nine-Tails, who unconditionally supported him like a mindless fan.

Minato then began to release the sublimated, absolutely pure and enormous golden Nine-Tails Chakra, which formed a completely new entity outside his body.

This state is very similar to the Susanoo created by the Mangekyō Sharingan, both of which are massive Chakra entities that can be controlled and manipulated by condensing a huge amount of Chakra outside the body.

In an instant, a gigantic golden Nine-Tails replaced Minato Namikaze and appeared on the battlefield.

This Nine-Tails is vastly different from the real Nine-Tails. It is much larger, its fur is a magnificent and imposing golden color, and its Chakra aura is absolutely pure, without the slightest hint of killing intent or violence.

If the Nine-Tails's true form is evil and tyrannical, and anyone who sees it would call it Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, then this graceful and noble Nine-Tails looks like a true god, making people unable to resist wanting to worship it.

The golden Nine-Tails fairy fox gracefully raised its head, glanced at the incomparably powerful meteor, and gently swayed its nine tails that radiated sunlight.

Suddenly, one of its tails transformed into a golden beam of light, piercing straight through the meteorite and even penetrating past a second meteorite.

The next moment, the two meteorites split open at the spot where the golden fox tail had struck them, and blinding golden light emanated from the cracks.

The cracks multiplied, the golden light intensified, and within seconds, the entire meteorite turned golden before exploding.

A meteorite that coalesces into one can destroy Konoha, while a meteorite that shatters into pieces is still a terrible disaster, but it is no longer destructive.

At least for the four Hokage present, and the Konoha Ninja several kilometers away, it no longer posed a threat.

Madara Uchiha did nothing; he simply stared at the scene, plotting how to capture Minato Namikaze, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Because the Nine-Tails 'Chakra was real, not just simulated by Chakra through [Impure World Reincarnation].

In other words, extracting the Nine-Tails will directly activate the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and the power of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path after activation will reach its maximum, without needing to activate it a second time afterward.

As he pondered, Madara Uchiha's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He decided to stop worrying about what kind of trap the Fifth Hokage had set and instead focus on capturing the Nine-Tails right now.

Even if the Fifth Hokage sets a trap, what can he do if he's quick enough?

Nagato looked at Kabuto Yakushi with surprise and delight. "You said the Gold and Silver Brothers' summoning was successful?"

2

Kabuto Yakushi: "Yes, Nagato."

Nagato asked again, "Can I seal the Nine-Tails Chakra now?"

Kabuto Yakushi: "Of course, I've already brought them both."

Following Kabuto Yakushi's words, two dazed Ninja walked in and, under the watchful eyes of the Akatsuki's core members, proceeded to the feet of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Although they were delirious and resembled two puppets, the surging Nine-Tails Chakra they exuded was undeniable—evil, tyrannical, and radiating a terrifying aura.

Not a Akatsuki member wasted any time; the sealing of the Nine-Tails Chakra began immediately.

Seeing that there was nothing more for him to do, Kabuto Yakushi voluntarily left the cave.

However, instead of returning to the room that Akatsuki had arranged for him, or to the laboratory where he had undergone the Impure World Reincarnation, he went to Akatsuki's warehouse.

Kabuto packed up some of the White Zetsu stored in the warehouse, sealed them in Sealing Scroll like items, and then left the Akatsuki base as if nothing had happened.

The White Zetsu in the warehouse failed to be revived and could not be used as combat power, so they were resealed and stored.

The ones Kabuto picked out were ones he had secretly tampered with, using Medical Ninjutsu to disguise healthy White Zetsu as disabled ones.

Having completed all the tasks assigned by the Fifth Hokage, it was now time for him to leave, and naturally, he was to take all the preparations he had made in advance with him.

Dou's movements appeared unhurried, but he moved incredibly fast, quickly arriving at the Safehouse he had arranged.

The Fifth Hokage had warned him beforehand that the Fourth Shinobi World War would not last long, but its intensity could be terrifying.

Rather than risk crossing the battlefield back to Konoha, it's better to hide in place for a while and wait for the war to end; that's the best way to save your life.

Kabuto Yakushi Root was selected from Orphanage by Konoha's Root organization. He was Danzo by Danzo to be a spy and infiltrated Three Great Shinobi Villages, except Kirigakure.

Dou's spy skills are unparalleled; he has never made a mistake and always completes his missions successfully, returning safely.

Because of his exceptional Talent in this area, he was chosen by Sasori of the Red Sands in Sunagakure. After being subjected to the [Brain-Puppetry Sand Manipulation] brain seal, he was sent to Orochimaru's side as a spy.

Later, he was chosen by Orochimaru and sent back to Konoha as a spy.

To be honest, even Kabuto himself couldn't figure out exactly how many spies he was.

And despite his young age, his experience is incredibly profound; he even participated in the Chunin Ninja Exams alongside the Fifth Hokage Shazo.

Later, Shazo forced Shimura Danzō to become missing-nin, and then ruthlessly killed him to avenge Kabuto, thus bringing the two back into contact.

Kabuto Yakushi became Shazo's spy, betraying Orochimaru completely.

Orochimaru is a slippery Ninja with unparalleled survival skills, digging holes, and business acumen. Even his close friend Jiraiya couldn't catch him.

By then, the elite Uchiha clan had been wiped out by Uchiha Itachi, and those remaining were either immature children or incompetent individuals whose potential had been exhausted, and they were simply incapable of tracking down Orochimaru.

It was thanks to Kabuto's inside information that the Uchiha caravan was able to find Orochimaru and keep a close eye on him until Shazo became Hokage Position.

With Shazo becoming the Fifth Hokage, Kabuto was captured and brought back to Konoha along with Orochimaru, thus temporarily escaping his life as a spy.

Now that this "final spy mission" is complete, Kabuto Yakushi will finally be free from the life of a spy.
