Obito: Master, Come With Me to Seek Peace!

"What? Nagato is willing to go to Mount Myoboku to train in Sage Mode?"

Jiraiya surprised.

He had tried to persuade Nagato several times before, but Nagato consistently refused to go to Mount Myoboku.

For Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, and everyone else are more important than so-called power or Sage Mode.

And this time...

"Something happened to Yahiko and Konan?"

Jiraiya's expression changed drastically.

"I don't know. The boss only told me to inform you; he didn't say much."

The Toad answered.

I want to go to Mount Myoboku!

How could Jiraiya possibly stay any longer?

Although he needed to monitor the north, there was no movement from Ōnoki's side, so a short absence wouldn't be a problem.

On the Nagato hand, if Yahiko and Konan die, the chain reaction triggered by Nagato's death could bring unpredictable consequences.

The Rinnegan, the Child of Prophecy.

If it were to tip to the other side, it could become a catastrophe that destroys the Shinobi World...

A resolute killing intent flashed in Jiraiya's eyes.

If that really happens, he will have to make a choice.

Kill Nagato!

Even if this choice will cause him lifelong suffering, but...

"Until then, I will do everything I can to salvage the situation!"

Jiraiya took a deep breath.

And now, this may be the last chance.

At this moment, Jiraiya had already imagined a whole host of things that might have happened.

for example--

The attack by Iwagakure, Hanzo's intolerance of someone sleeping soundly beside him, or the war Sunagakure and Iwagakure affecting their territory in the Land of Land of Birds.

but.

When he was summoned to Mount Myoboku by the Reverse Summoning Jutsu...

"What? Just like that?"

Jiraiya's eyes widened.

Nagato frowned and looked at the Teacher: "Isn't this serious enough? Or are you thinking of something else, Teacher?"

"I thought it was Yahiko and the others..."

Jiraiya was speechless for a moment.

Nagato sighed.

"Not yet, but if Madara's men want my eyes, they'll come looking for them sooner or later, so until then..."

"As Yahiko said, I must become stronger!"

Nagato's gaze was resolute.

He knew that Kyohiko's Flying Thunder God was likely to remind Yahiko of this matter, and that Kyohiko's idea to send him to Mount Myoboku for refuge and training was probably also Kyohiko's.

It wasn't that Yahiko was stupid or couldn't think of it; rather, Yahiko simply didn't know that Mount Myoboku had Sage Mode.

Nagato took a deep breath.

"Teacher, you don't need to worry about me. I won't leave Mount Myoboku until I master Sage Mode, but what about Yahiko and Konan...?"

"I'll take care of it, don't worry."

Jiraiya's expression was serious.

Nagato breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they had a good relationship with Kyohiko, there was still a layer of kinship between them; their true master-disciple relationship was with Jiraiya.

The Teacher promised to take care of me, so it definitely won't be a mistake.

After a moment of silence, Nagato asked, "Teacher, are you alright over there?"

"Fortunately, I've been traveling north lately, and also exploring the Shinobi World. Haha, I haven't encountered many decent guys, so the so-called ' Child of Prophecy ' is most likely you and Kyohiko."

Jiraiya laughed.

Nagato's eyes, hidden beneath her hair, flickered slightly.

Kyohiko Yoshimine.

That person was indeed incredibly powerful; at that age, he had already reached a level where many people would gang up on him...

It's simply a miracle!

He looked up and said, "I ran into him. I must have come here to warn Yahiko."

"Is that so? What was he doing over there?"

Jiraiya was somewhat surprised.

Nagato shook his head.

Just as Jiraiya was wondering what was going on, a Toad suddenly jumped over.

"Your letter."

"Ha?"

Jiraiya took it.

A letter from Konoha.

His expression turned serious, then his expression suddenly changed.

No wonder!

"I see."

Jiraiya's expression turned grave, then he looked at Nagato and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I need to leave."

"Um."

Nagato nodded.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What happened?"

"There's nothing I can't tell you. Yahiko probably already knows... Takigakure and the Seven-Tails, Chomei, were attacked by Kakuzu and Raiga Kurosuki."

ah?

Nagato was stunned for a moment, and the next second, Jiraiya had already been taken back.

He looked into the distance.

Someone actually dared to target the Tailed Beast, and even launched a direct attack on Takigakure for this purpose!

He was deeply shocked.

After all, although Takigakure is not Five Great Shinobi Villages, its strength is not to be underestimated among the smaller ninja villages.

Someone capable of storming into Takigakure and taking away a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki...

He doesn't believe he's stronger than Tailed Beast!

No wonder Kyohiko and Yahiko both felt they needed to come to Mount Myoboku to improve their strength. If they continued as before, they might be Yahiko ones captured Konan.

"Fortunately, it's not too late!"

Nagato took a deep breath.

Sage Mode, I can do it!

Sunagakure, where yellow sand stretches endlessly.

Today is another sandstorm.

"Lord Kazekage..."

"It's alright, I've already built walls that are enough to block most of the sandstorms. Everyone can stay indoors. You should all go and hide too."

"Yes!"

They vanished in Body Flicker Technique.

Dust storms like this are rare, but smaller ones are common, so people are used to them.

However, beyond the sandstorm, a figure could be seen appearing and disappearing.

"The weather's nice. It seems most of the Sunagakure and villagers are hiding. It looks like we don't even need to wait until nightfall to sneak in."

"You still need to be careful. Although Rasa is weak, he is still a powerful Kazekage. You need to maintain a certain level of respect for him."

White Zetsu reminded him.

Obito scoffed, "Even his predecessor, the Third Kazekage, who was hailed as the strongest Kazekage, died a miserable death at the hands of Konoha. I don't think this guy is that strong!"

Our target is the One-Tail Jinchuriki.

White Zetsu reiterated.

He thought for a moment and quickly realized how he should advise her.

"Killing one Kazekage will only Kazekage another. Even destroying Sunagakure won't change anything. What truly determines the order of the Shinobi World is our own power!"

"Okay, you're right."

Upon Obito, Obito pondered for a long time and had to agree with White Zetsu's statement.

Killing a Kazekage serves no purpose other than demonstrating one's own power, and Kyohiko Yoshimine probably doesn't need to use such methods to showcase his abilities in his current state...

He sighed inwardly.

Fortunately, I am now much stronger than Kakashi, and that is the power of the Uchiha!

My ancestors bestowed upon me the strength to pursue peace, and I must never betray that strength!

Obito thought to himself.

Then, he merged back into the space and jumped forward.

"Um?"

Rasa suddenly looked in a direction outside the village.

There...

Something seems off.

"Lord Kazekage."

A figure suddenly appeared beside him.

His Anbu agents.

"What's wrong?"

Rasa turned his attention back to what was in front of him.

Anbu Ninja handed over a scroll.

"This is what we found in the village. We don't know who left this information, but I think you should take a look."

"Give me."

Rasa picked it up, saw the words, and his pupils instantly contracted.

This is...

Pakura's handwriting!

She's still alive!

Rasa gripped the scroll tightly, his heart pounding with excitement.

Is this guy seeking revenge?

still...

His first reaction was that Pakura was after him.

The fluctuation just now might have been caused by Pakura.

but.

Rasa quickly rejected the idea.

The text below filled him with shock and fear.

Someone has attacked Takigakure, attempting to take away the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki!

Tailed Beast...

This was a ninja village's trump card, a weapon of war, yet someone forcibly stormed the village intending to take it away.

And the enemy.

Raiga Kurosuki and Kakuzu.

They were all missing-nin.

"It's suspected to be related to the group that contacted Sasori of the Red Sands; the mastermind behind it might be Madara Uchiha."

Rasa swallowed.

He understood the meaning of those words perfectly.

The spots are concentrating their efforts.

So, the next one...

"Not good!"

Rasa realized what was happening, "Quick, let's go to Shukaku's location!"

"Yes!"

The Anbu Ninja vanished in Body Flicker Technique, but Rasa was even faster, disappearing from the area almost instantly.

Shukaku...

He was imprisoned in the Anbu's jail.

A few minutes later, Obito Uchiha emerged from underground inside the Anbu base.

"It's really hard to find."

"Well, at least we found it!"

Obito looked ahead.

Inside the prison, an old monk sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his mind as still as water, undisturbed even by the noises outside.

but.

When Obito approached again, he opened his eyes.

"Who are you?"

"The one who will take you away, leave this cage, and you will be free to embark on the road to peace with us."

Obito reached out his hand.

Bunpuku stared at him, his beard trembling slightly, before uttering, "You're not from Sunagakure."

"Of course, how could Sunagakure let you leave? They see Jinchuriki as tools; they'll only imprison and exploit you until you die completely."

Obito said.

Bunpuku, "You mean embarking on the path of peace?"

"Yes, I am on a path to peace, and you are a vital force!"

"You want to use this power to create chaos and slaughter? I won't allow you to do that."

Bunpuku's tone was calm yet firm. "The Tailed Beast should live in peace with humans, not be seen as tools or a form of power. They have their own consciousness!"

Obito was stunned for a moment.

What's wrong with this guy? He's imprisoned, yet he can still say things so calmly?

and.

He is very old.

Obito was somewhat puzzled and curious.

"Grandpa, how long have you been here?"

"Have no idea."

Bunpuku shook his head, and a second later, he sighed softly, "I can't remember. Maybe it was a few years, maybe a dozen or even several decades."

"Don't you hate it? Spending so many years in a place like this..."

Obito couldn't bear to listen.

Although he hated the Uchiha, he still retained a part of his original personality deep down, which gave Madara and Black Zetsu a lot of headaches.

And now.

Just hearing about how long Bunpuku had been imprisoned here filled him with intense sadness and reluctance.

This old man is clearly a kind person, why should he be treated like this?

"Stop talking, take him away!"

White Zetsu urged in a low voice.

He couldn't understand why Obito talking to the enemy.

However, at this moment, Obito hoped to take Bunpuku away through "communication".

fighting...

Perhaps, but it would attract even more people!

If we can communicate, we can avoid a battle.

No matter what, the other party is a Jinchūriki of a Tailed Beast!

At this moment, Bunpuku said, "Hate? At first, there was a little bit, but now, I understand my mission. I hope to use love to make the Tailed Beast and humans coexist peacefully."

"That's impossible!"

Obito. "Humans are full of desires and strife, and the power of the Tailed Beast can make them even stronger. As long as these desires and conflicts exist, peace will never come!"

"As long as it's with love..."

"Love? Grandpa, you're a great man, but your thinking is too naive!"

Obito shook his head.

He looked intently at Bunpuku: "Master, come with me. I'll take you out to see the world, to show you the ugliness and greed of humanity. Together we can study the Path of Peace!"

Bunpuku remained silent.

As a high-ranking monk, he was certainly aware of human greed, but was powerless to change it.

But leaving...

He sighed softly and closed his eyes in anguish.

"I can't leave!"

As a Jinchūriki of a Tailed Beast, Bunpuku naturally has many ways to leave if he wants to.

However.

He has not left the prison all these years because he believes that if he were to leave, his monastery would suffer a calamity.

Bunpuku cannot leave.

However.

The next second, Obito severed the seal on the door with a single slash and kicked down the prison door.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. I'll take you away directly."

Obito's tone was firm.

Then, he walked over to Bunpuku and placed his hand on Bunpuku's body.

but.

At that moment, a cold voice came from behind.

"Where do you intend to take Shukaku from my village?"

Immediately following, a sharp golden spear flew from afar.

Obito turned around and with a single slash, cut the spear down.

But the next second, the Gold Dust turned into countless sharp spikes that grew densely under his feet, forcing Obito to abandon Kamui.

"He is a human, not Shukaku."

Interrupted from his spellcasting, Obito and looked at Rasa intently. "Treating fellow countrymen like this, Sunagakure is truly filled with ugliness!"

Bunpuku sat cross-legged on the ground, neither speaking nor opening his eyes, but sighing silently.

The boy in front of me...

He was incredibly naive, yet he was more in line with the kind of person he secretly hoped for than the people of Sunagakure.

Pity!

Bunpuku sighed inwardly.

Rasa stared coldly at the boy before him.

Who are you?

"I..."

The next second, a cloud of golden sand shot out from below, transforming into sharp spikes.

but.

They passed right through Obito's body.

What?

A look of astonishment appeared in Rasa.

This guy...

Who exactly is this person?

Etc!

Those eyes?

Obito's gaze was icy. "The vile Sunagakure!"

Whoosh!

Through constant practice, Obito's Body Flicker Technique became much stronger than before. Combined with the effect of "Kamui," he instantly appeared in front of Rasa.

Following closely behind...

Bang!

With a single slash, Rasa's body revealed a golden hue.

Sand Armor!

"Sharingan, you're from the Uchiha Clan?"

Even so, Rasa avoided eye contact.

To be precise.

The next second, his true form appeared beside Bunpuku, while Rasa in front of Obito quickly collapsed, turning into a pile of Gold Dust.

They quickly entangled Obito.

Sand Binding Coffin!

Gold Dust swirled and covered the body, but the feet, still Obito, suddenly vanished, followed by the entire person slowly disappearing from sight.
