Obito: You guys are too biased against Madara!

"Um, is this... really okay?"

"What?"

Ai turned her head and looked at the Dodai beside her.

Dodai frowned.

As a partner of the Third Raikage, he has experienced many things.

but.

This war was the most unique.

The people from Madara Uchiha took away the Tailed Beast power Yugito Killer B and Yukito, leaving only a few to sustain their lives.

There are no Tailed Beast left in Kumogakure now.

Ai fell silent.

He looked out at the distant sea, sighed, and said, "I don't know either, Dodai- senpai. As a ninja, I really want to participate in this war, but my father won't allow it..."

Ai frowned, recalling the Third Raikage's expression when he left, and vaguely felt uneasy.

He hesitated, then finally looked at the Dodai.

"Senior, did my father say anything to you before he left?"

"He only said that this trip would be to try his best to end the war in Kumogakure and prevent Kumogakure from getting bogged down in a new war."

Dodai spoke, he couldn't help but sigh softly, "Lord Raikage is right. Our Kumogakure hasn't recovered from the previous war and needs even more time to rest."

"Rest and recuperate, then what?"

A frowned. "If we can't win this war, we'll lose all the Tailed Beast."

That's also what I don't understand.

The Dodai remained silent.

Two-Tails, Eight-Tails.

This power was obtained by the Kumogakure through great hardship, and now Madara Uchiha is taking it away with nothing but empty White Fang, offering only some strange creatures in return.

The two are not a fair exchange at all.

Strangely, the Third Raikage agreed to the deal, handing over two Tailed Beast.

Even if the Eight-Tails only has a little power left.

The two talked for a while, then fell silent and sighed in unison.

Dodai said in a low voice, "Perhaps he has ideas that we cannot understand."

"I just remembered something."

Ai was suddenly stunned.

He looked at the Dodai.

"My father once said that if his generation loses, then we must earnestly befriend Konoha, become Konoha's partners and allies, and never betray them again."

"This..."

Dodai froze, then his expression turned serious.

A sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

The Third Raikage was very powerful.

However, their previous two or three encounters have proven that Konoha has already figured out how to counter Lightning Armor. It's hard to say about others, but...

Kyohiko Yoshimine can definitely do it!

"Perhaps, Lord Raikage was already prepared for this before he left."

What did you say?

Ai was a little dazed and worried just now, so she didn't hear what Tu Dodai was saying.

The Dodai came to an abrupt end.

He paused for a moment, then said, "I mean, Lord Raikage always takes on the most difficult tasks himself; perhaps he has already made arrangements."

"Yes, Father has always taken on the most difficult tasks, and after all these years, I still haven't been able to truly share his burden!"

Ai felt very guilty.

The Dodai remained silent, offering no reply.

The Land of Grass.

The Third Raikage lay on the ground, his body split in two, his face filled with disbelief and shock, his eyes fixed on the front.

A very complicated expression.

His upper and lower body were completely separated, lying in a pool of blood, trampled over by a group of ninjas.

No matter how powerful he was, after death he would turn to Dust and no one would care anymore.

Because the war is not over yet.

A massive horde of ninjas surged towards the Land of Grass.

Jiraiya, Kakashi, Gamabunta, and the two sages of Mount Myoboku joined forces to bombard and resist with various Ninjutsu.

However, these enemies seem endless; as soon as one batch dies, another batch emerges, as if they are refreshed at regular intervals.

Kyohiko's gaze swept over the area.

Suddenly, he sensed a sense of crisis.

Maybe--

This was not just an attack.

Are I being overwhelmed by wars being waged simultaneously in multiple regions?

Kyohiko frowned.

He knew very well that the number of these White Zetsu was enormous.

100,000!

This number is far beyond what the ninjas of the Land of Grass can handle.

White Zetsu isn't strong, but it depends on who you compare it to.

Kusagakure...

Not enough to stop them.

The Third Raikage is dead, and the Third Tsuchikage has fled.

But.

A sense of crisis lingered in my mind.

because...

He always understood that the greatest enemies were not Iwagakure or Kumogakure, but Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, and the most deeply hidden Black Zetsu!

Black Zetsu has already made his move.

So, what about Obito and Spotted?

where are they?

Perhaps they're with the Tailed Beast, either trying to absorb and fuse with them, or...

They are preparing to launch an even larger attack.

In a Body Flicker Technique, Kyohiko appeared beside Jiraiya.

"Teacher, I think we need to think of something, because the situation is very dangerous."

Jiraiya froze for a second, nearly getting injured by a White Zetsu.

Fortunately, Kyohiko punched him away, his body shattering into several pieces.

Another White Zetsu is dead.

Jiraiya frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Something's happened at Mount Myoboku. A special, undetectable life form has taken control of Nagato and taken one of his Rinnegan."

Kyohiko answered.

"What?"

Jiraiya cried out in alarm, and then swept away all the ninjas with a single blow.

He said incredulously, "You mean, the Rinnegan was taken?"

"The Great Toad Sage was also affected, but that's not the point. The point is— the Tailed Beast didn't appear here!"

Kyohiko expressed his inner worries.

Jiraiya's expression suddenly changed.

Below, Gamabunta suddenly roared, "What? What happened to the Great Toad Sage?"

"Don't worry, there's no great danger."

Kyohiko understands Gamabunta's mood.

after all.

Compared to them, the Great Toad Sage is the ancestor of the Toad Clan of Mount Myoboku, and the relationship between the two is completely different.

Jiraiya cursed angrily, "Madara Uchiha!"

He also realized the crisis was in place.

Konoha!

Previously, Kyohiko had mentioned the idea of "merging the Nine-Tails into one," but at that time, no one took it seriously, thinking that leaving Nagato at Mount Myoboku would ensure everything would be alright.

To everyone's surprise, Nagato still ended up in trouble!

Even if it's just one, it could significantly enhance Madara Uchiha's abilities.

not to mention.

Currently, there is still Obito Uchiha.

Jiraiya looked ahead and gritted his teeth, saying, "Kyohiko, you can't stay here! Go back to the village! Nagato needs your care!"

As he spoke, he became increasingly agitated.

Leave this to me!

Compared to these White Zetsu, there are far too many places that need Kyohiko.

Konoha may now be mired in a quagmire of war.

The enemy's target is definitely the Nine-Tails!

"Protect the Nine-Tails, Temari, and the Eight-Tails, otherwise, if Madara Uchiha gains all his power, we will be no match for him!"

"I see."

Kyohiko glanced around.

Then, the seal within his body was released, Strength of a Hundred Technique and Natural Energy combined to instantly cover his body with a special pattern.

but.

At this time.

"I think you need my help!"

Kakashi Body Flicker Technique over.

He Flying Raijin Formation Technique, and through Shadow Clone, he can even control the Flying Raijin Formation independently.

but.

He's still quite a ways off from achieving the Flying Thunder God.

Even so.

With Kyohiko's help, getting Kyohiko to Konoha shouldn't be a problem.

Kyohiko hesitated for a moment.

"No... alright, this way we can conserve some Chakra, but you need to take care of yourself too."

"Rest assured."

Kakashi nodded.

The next second, Kyohiko vanished instantly.

Konoha is indeed facing a huge crisis right now.

but--

It's just a crisis.

On the battlefield outside Konoha, Minato Namikaze's expression was grave as he rapidly considered whether he should use that technique.

This was a secret weapon he and Kyohiko devised to counter Space-Time Ninjutsu like those used by Obito Uchiha and the Flying Thunder God.

Spatial Barrier!

It can lock down space, preventing the use of Space-Time Ninjutsu in that space, but it takes a certain amount of time to open the Barrier.

During this process, Obito, who is extremely sensitive to space, would inevitably be able to perceive the changes in space.

so.

He only has one chance.

Minato Namikaze's expression was grave. He looked at Obito in front of him and said, "Obito, you are a kind person. I don't know what Madara told you, but you've definitely been deceived!"

"Minato- senpai, I've heard of you, but you know nothing about the power of the Uchiha or eternal peace."

Obito did not agree with Minato's statement.

cheat?

The power is real.

The Mangekyō Sharingan and Rinnegan are all real, and Madara himself truly longed for eternal peace.

How could it be fake?

Thinking of this, Obito couldn't help but sneer.

"Prejudice between people is a mountain. You believe the Uchiha must be evil, and you've decided that Lord Madara is evil."

"Under such circumstances, how could you possibly arrive at the correct answer?"

"Minato- senpai..."

Obito Uchiha spoke, then fell silent for a moment.

He looked into the distance.

"How is Lin?"

"Rin Nohara? She's very good. She's now a highly praised doctor at Konoha Hospital, and many elderly people recognize her."

Minato spoke gently.

He could tell that Obito still had considerable feelings and attachment to Konoha and Rin, but for Obito, there were more important things to pursue.

The so-called --

"Eternal peace"?

What is this?

Minato Namikaze was suspicious, feeling a sense of déjà vu, as if it were a scam.

In the past, he might have believed it to some extent, but after continuous exploration, learning, and research...

Minato believed that nothing in the world is permanent.

People die.

Nations also die and change.

Even the profession of ninja may one day disappear as times change.

These are all part of the world's evolution.

The only constant is the existence of the people in this country.

So-called eternal peace...

He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alright, I'll assume you believe me for now. So, how does Madara intend to achieve eternal peace? By becoming another Sage of Six Paths?"

"The Sage of Six Paths? Why would someone want to become the Sage of Six Paths?"

Obito was puzzled.

Minato Namikaze raised an eyebrow.

Not to become the Sage of Six Paths?

Did Kyohiko guess wrong?

Or perhaps, Obito was deceived...

He couldn't figure it out for a moment.

But at that moment, a figure emerged from beneath Obito's feet.

"Idiot! Obito, you've been tricked! He's stalling for time and trying to extract information from you!"

"It's okay, I also need some time."

Obito shook his head.

Then, he looked around and said, "Senior Minato, having said all that, I still won't hold back."

Um?

Minato Namikaze frowned, sensing something was amiss.

The next moment.

Suddenly, the space trembled, and a terrifying Chakra erupted from it.

Even from just a faint aura, he sensed that this space contained a power capable of destroying everything.

That's Tailed Beast Bomb!

A certain term came to mind for Minato Namikaze.

How could he...?

Oh, right!

Minato's expression changed drastically. Without time to think, he instantly threw out a signal flare.

but.

The next second, a Uzumaki appeared above him, swallowing the signal flare whole.

Kamui!

Then.

Boom!

From the Uzumaki, pitch-black, terrifying Chakra poured out and surged towards his location.

Minato Namikaze vanished in an instant with his Flying Thunder God Technique, not daring to linger in place.

The next second.

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed from the outskirts of the city.

The immense power covered the entire area, and the light was so bright that even the ninjas of Konoha could see it.

"Tsunade, that's—"

"Yes, Madara's men have arrived! Minato went there earlier and took him out of Konoha."

Tsunade's expression was grave.

She had already changed into her ninja outfit.

If Konoha is in danger, she will be the first to rush to the front lines, but such a terrifying aura probably indicates more than just an attack by Obito.

That is...

The power of the Tailed Beast!

Tsunade's expression was grave.

"Can the Minato stop it?"

"I don't know, but we'll definitely have to fight!"

Tsunade said firmly, "No matter how many people come, we will fight them to the end, because we want to protect everyone!"

After saying that, she frowned, vaguely sensing an unusual force.

The next instant, she shouted, "Everyone, be on alert! Insects have infiltrated!"

"Activate the Barrier, beware of potential lurking enemies!"

Tsunade vanished from the spot in Body Flicker Technique.

She felt--

A large number of ninjas are surging towards one direction of Konoha.

That's where Kushina is.

but.

Kushina is currently facing a problem...

She had a child.

Excessive exertion could lead to miscarriage.

Tsunade's mind was very clear.

The enemy's target remains the Nine-Tails!

With Kyohiko's clone and Orochimaru on the Anbu, there shouldn't be any problems.

She needs to ensure the safety of Kushina and Temari!

Whoosh!

She and the Hokage Guard Squad sprinted quickly through the village.

A moment later, a roar echoed in the distance.

A violent sandstorm swept all around.

Tsunade felt a jolt in her heart.

She knew that this was the power of the Shukaku.

Was it too late?

But the next second, a gale and yellow sand swept up some strange enemies and sent them all flying into the sky.

Tsunade arrived in Body Flicker Technique, only to Temari panting and standing in front of Kushina.

The ninjas of Sunagakure actually stood up to protect the people of Konoha.

This scene touched her deeply.

but.

Now is not the time to think about these things. She Body Flicker Technique down and shattered the enemy that reappeared with a single blow.

"Kushina, bring Temari and Nine-Tails with you!"

"Lady Tsunade, towards the Ninja Academy, children, lots of children!"

Kushina shouted anxiously.

She sensed it.

Many strange creatures headed towards the Ninja Academy.

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for people over there to deal with them."
