On the edge of the battlefield, behind a collapsed Stone Wall.
Two figures huddled in the shadow of the broken wall, looking through the cracks in the gravel to focus on the earth-shattering confrontation in the distance.
Obito was leaning against a half-buried piece of Broken Pillar. The one eye under the mask was staring at the giant ape waving Adamantine Staff in the distance.
The moment he saw Nagato being attacked by Kakuzu and Xie, he clenched his fists suddenly, and his voice came out from between his teeth, with uncontrollable rage:
"What a bunch of rubbish!"
"There is a ghost in the house and I don't even know it!"
"Uchiha Itachi is like this, Pain is like this too!"
"One is more incompetent than the other!"
Kakashi squatted next to him, his eyes also falling on the figure of Senjutsu Chakra gathering in the air.
When he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he added silently in his heart:
"Stop scolding, you are like this too."
But there was no unnecessary expression on his face, he just spoke in a low voice, leading the topic in a more practical direction:
"Obito, have you ever thought about..."
"Since you can't beat me, why don't you just join?"
He paused, looking past the dark green Senjutsu flame, and landed on the Golden Armored Giant Ape.
"I don't quite understand First Hokage's concept of peace. Wouldn't it be nice to let the Konoha family dominate? If other villages are honest, there will naturally be less wars."
Obito didn't even think about it and immediately shook his head:
"No!"
"We must achieve Eye of the Moon Plan!"
"I want to create a world... with Lin in it."
Kakashi curled his fingers in the cuffs for a moment, and then he spoke again, with just the right amount of hesitation and testing in his voice:
"But look... they are fighting like gods."
"We... can't win."
"No matter how good your ideals are, you still have to consider reality, right?"
Obito's eyes were fixed on the golden giant ape, and he was silent for two breaths before slowly speaking, his voice was a little deeper than before, as if he had gone through the words in his mind one by one before spitting them out:
"Tell me, is Pain powerful?"
"But he was almost killed by Kakuzu and Scorpion just now."
"It can be seen that no one is truly invincible."
He turned his head sideways, and the surging anger and anxiety in his one eye gradually subsided, replaced by a colder calculation:
"When Uchiha Yongye wins a big victory, he will definitely be proud and let down his guard."
"Coupled with the mental exhaustion after the war..."
"We will take advantage of the opportunity to strike when the time comes!"
Kakashi Looking at his calm and analytical expression, a complex emotion that could not be told whether it was a bitter smile or sourness welled up in his heart.
He remembered Shisui Uchiha just now, and Shisui's decisiveness when he cut off Uchiha Itachi's wrist without even hesitation.
He lowered his head slightly, his eyes falling on the edge of the trampled leaves on the ground.
"... Hey."
"It's all for Konoha."
When the words "Konoha" fell down, what actually appeared in his mind was another face - the one standing on the river beach downstream of the Naka River, smiling calmly and not wanting to be beaten.
He quickly suppressed his thoughts, raised his eyes again, and returned to the direction of the battlefield.
In the center of the battlefield, the Golden Armored Giant Ape Adamantine Staff was falling from a high place. The shadow of the stick was wrapped in golden Chakra flames, like a golden waterfall pouring down from the sky.
Susanoo-Clad Kurama's wooden giant arm disintegrated inch by inch in the shadow of the stick, Hashirama Senju's Senjutsu Chakra was accelerating consumption, Madara Uchiha's sky blue Susanoo armor had a large crack from its shoulder, and the golden chips on the edge continued to peel off.
It's about to completely collapse...
The figure of Nagato fell from the sky.
He landed in the open space between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. Dark green Senjutsu Chakra surged around him, and the ripples in the pair of Rinnegan rotated violently.
His hands slammed onto the ground, and the moment his palms touched Stone Slab, a circle of dark green lines spread from his fingers to all directions, like veins awakened from deep underground.
"Immortal magic·Inorganic Reincarnation!"
The earth comes alive!
The gravel that had been broken into powder rose again from the ground and condensed into hundreds of thick earth tentacles.
Those tentacles surged out from the cracks in the earth, wrapped around Susanoo-Clad Kurama's disintegrating wooden armor, and rejoined, fixed, and reinforced the broken wood pieces and Chakra fragments.
Hashirama Senju's brows suddenly relaxed, Impure World Reincarnation's cracks stopped spreading at the edge of his cheek, and Senjutsu Chakra circulated in his body again.
Madara Uchiha's sky blue Susanoo armor also held firm.
He stood on Susanoo's head, turned his head and glanced at Nagato, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly for the first time, and then quickly flattened.
Adamantine Staff was blocked by the cross defense of those earth tentacles and wooden giant arms!
Yongye stood above Golden Armored Giant Ape, looking down at the wooden Susanoo armor that was being repaired rapidly below, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became a little deeper.
Nagato did not give Yongye time to recharge.
He closed his hands again in front of his chest, and his fingers flew. Chakra and Natural Energy merged rapidly in his palms. Then he opened his mouth, and a dazzling red light spurted out from his mouth.
It was not a flame or a beam of light, it was a long dragon condensed by red light.
The entire body of the dragon is composed of dazzling red light, with fine Chakra lines surging around the edges, unfolding in mid-air and exploding!
Dazzling bright light exploded from the center of the explosion in all directions, and the entire battlefield was dyed a blinding white at that moment.
What followed was a sound, a roar so sharp that it could almost pierce the eardrum, like thousands of needles piercing the deepest part of the auditory nerve at the same time.
Vision is deprived by strong light, and hearing is drowned by high-frequency sound waves.
Hashirama Senju's body shook slightly, and Impure World Reincarnation's crack opened a thin crack in his forehead, which quickly closed again.
Madara Uchiha's Sharingan squinted in the strong light, and a layer of irregular ripples appeared on the surface of the sky blue Susanoo armor.
Nagato stood in the center of the storm of light and sound, with a cold smile slowly opening at the corner of his mouth.
Immortal method·White Rage Technique!
"Let me see if you can take this blow!"
But the next moment, the figure still standing above Golden Armored Giant Ape just moved his neck slightly, and then the dazzling bright light and sharp sound waves receded from his body like a tide, as if nothing had happened.
He glanced down at his palm, then raised his head, his eyes falling on Nagato's face, with just the right amount of appreciation in his voice:
"Not bad."
"As expected of Sage Mode."
"A couple of times."
Nagato's pupils suddenly contracted.
The layer of bright light and sound waves that enveloped the entire battlefield had not completely dissipated, but the figure was already like a traveler calmly walking out of the storm, and his jumpsuit Kakuzu was not blown to pieces.
