The Entire Ninja World Was in Chaos

In the Kazekage's Office in Sunagakure, Rasa stared at the border line with Konoha on the Sand Table.

The hot wind outside the window whipped up yellow sand, carrying the complaints of the patrolling ninjas into the air.

The granary has only half a month's worth of food left, the puppet army's strings have broken due to weathering, and even the puppet blueprints left by Sasori of the Red Sands are being resold by black market merchants.

As the Kazekage, Rasa used his Magnet Release technique to search for cheap Gold Dust to benefit the village, but it was all in vain.

"Lord Kazekage, the Amegakure requests an audience."

Before the Anbu Ninja could finish speaking, the swarm of Paper Butterfly had already smashed through the glass window, adding another considerable expense to Sunagakure's finances.

Konan's Paper Clone floated to the ground, its damp smell clashing with the dryness of Sunagakure.

"The Sunagakure's Puppet Army should have been the sharpest spear in the Shinobi World," Konan said, her Paper Wings unfurling. "Unfortunately, they can't even supply enough rations now."

"An envoy from Amegakure! Are you here to mock Sunagakure?! Although we don't kill envoys, remember this: you are essentially declaring war on Sunagakure!" Rasa slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"Kazekage, let me make my intentions clear: when we attack Konoha, Amegakure will not demand any land, only the Nine-Tails. Think it over carefully!"

Sunagakure silenced the Rasa Council of Elders ' objections, saying, "We must go to war! If we don't, Sunagakure will be utterly defeated!"

The elders exchanged glances. Chiyo adjusted her swimsuit under her clothes. "Are we really going to fight?"

"We have to fight! We absolutely must fight! Otherwise we won't be able to afford to eat!" Rasa gritted his teeth.

Konan's Paper Clone unfurled a scroll, and a military deployment map of Amegakure materialized on the Sand Table: "The vanguard of Sunagakure will launch a surprise attack from the canyon, the elite Amegakure will encircle the eastern coast of the Land of Fire sea, Pain will personally destroy the Barrier Core Konoha."

Chiyo stood up. "Then what reason should we use to fight? If we go to war with Konoha, won't Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Kirigakure take any action?"

Konan 'Paper Clone smiled and said, "Leave it to us."

The deafening roar of Thunder Roaring Waterfall filled the air. Killer B stood shirtless in the center of the deep pool, the Eight-Tails ' chakra flowing like lava across his skin. Seven Ninja Blade were embedded in the Giant Rock on the shore, their blades reflecting the cold moonlight. Killer B himself, holding a small notebook. "The smell of smoke from the Rock Grill Restaurant wafts through the air~ The Martial Arts Hall is next door~ The madam inside~ There are three ways to practice tea~"

As he sang and recited, he deeply missed his RPA Teacher, Uchiha Yu.

Suddenly!

The reflection on the water's surface is distorted!

Killer B glanced over and closed the notebook in his hand!

Jigen silently stepped out from the Space Rift!

His white robes remained spotless, and his right arm transformed into Black Receiver that pierced Killer B's nape.

The Eight-Tails Tentacle suddenly sprang up, but were instantly shredded into a bloody mist by the Spatial Power upon touching the Black Receiver.

"You sneak attack bastard!" Killer B spun around and retreated, creating a ten-meter-high Water Wall beneath his feet.

The Jigen pierced through the water curtain, and the Black Receiver split into tree-like branches, each one carrying a Rending Void.

Killer B leaped into the air, instantly unleashing "Lightning Release: Lariat!" with his hands Hand Seal.

The Eight-Tails ' chakra, crackling with electricity, struck Jigen's head, but the lightning was crushed by the opponent's single hand!

Jigen's left eye, the Rinnegan, spun, and the Black Receiver suddenly extended, piercing Killer B's right shoulder. The wound that pierced through could not be repaired by the Tailed Beast Chakra.

"Gyuki!" Killer B roared, Full Tailed Beast Transformation!

A hundred-meter-tall, Eight-Tails Giant Beast burst through the waterfall, its Octopus Tentacle wrapped in Lightning Release chakra sweeping across the mountainside, and boulders crashing towards Jigen like cannonballs!

Jigen raised his hand and unleashed the "Sukuna Hikona," instantly shrinking the falling boulder into grains of sand!

He walked through the air, each step creating Spatial Ripple. In the blink of an eye, he was close to the Root the Eight-Tails' third tentacle. The Yin-Yang Release Black Sword pierced out from his palm, its blade wreathed in Black Lightning that devoured chakra.

"Sizzle—"

The moment the sword severed the tentacles, Space Rift spread like a spider web.

At the cut surface, no blood or flesh splattered; instead, it showed Crystalline State due to High-Temperature Vitrification.

The roar of the Eight-Tails collapsed half a cliff, and the broken tentacles were absorbed into Kamui Dimension by Jigen with a wave of his sleeve.

Killer B the pain. The Tailed Beast Bomb that had been gathering in the mouth of the Gyuki had not yet taken shape when it was compressed into the size of a walnut by Jigen's Dojutsu. The Black Receiver pierced through the Eight-Tails' lower jaw and forced the Tailed Beast Bomb back into its throat, causing it to explode.

A colossal beast, as large as a mountain, crashed into the deep pool, its blood staining the waters for a thousand meters.

"It's not over yet!" Killer B shot out Lightning Pen from the Eight-Tails' mouth. The Lightning Release wrapped around the tip of the rod suddenly flowed in reverse, using the inertia of Jigen's parry to detonate the hundred pre-planted Explosive Tags!

In the Kakkō, Jigen took a half step back, and the scorch marks on the corner of her clothes were instantly restored.

"A decent struggle." Jigen's voice cut through the smoke of battle.

With a light tap of his fingertip, strange roots sprouted wildly from the bottom of the pool, entangling the remains of the Eight-Tails and extracting its chakra.

Killer B silently chanted, "Octopus Leg Clone Jutsu!" and quickly disappeared into the Underground Dark River.

"Huff, huff."

Looking at the underground river in the distance, Jigen narrowed his eyes.

Although he forced Killer B to flee, Jigen didn't seem to be in good condition either.

Such Combat Power is not something he can maintain for long at this stage.

However, looking at the Eight-Tails Tentacle on the ground, Jigen forced a smile.

Three days later, the largest granary in Sunagakure suddenly caught fire!

Baki read a proclamation before the scorched earth, "The Land of Fire Spy set fire to our grain supplies! Sunagakure swears to seek justice!"

Tens of thousands of Hidden Sand Puppet Force roared in unison amidst the Metal Hum, "Justice! Justice!"

At the same time, in Iwagakure! At the Red Rock Training Ground!

Kurotsuchi's father, Kitsuchi, is instructing Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi on the practice of Earth Release: Hand Seal Rock Pillar Spear.

The lingering power of the Kitsuchi's Fissure Fist carved dozens of furrows in the Training Ground.

As the setting sun stretched the three shadows long, Obito's figure emerged from the void like an ink stain, his Swirl Mask glowing with Bloody Light in the twilight.

"Who are you?!"

Kitsuchi spotted Obito immediately. Obito greeted him apologetically, "I'm very sorry to have interrupted your lovey-dovey time, but for the sake of our great ideal, I have to separate you!"

"Earth Release: Rock" The young Akatsuchi's Akatsuchi Hand Seal froze at the bottom position. After a Spatial Tremor, Obito's right hand pierced through his chest!

Kurotsuchi's scream was stuck in his throat, while Kitsuchi's Fissure Fist was already aimed at Obito's face!

"Whoosh!"

The Earth-Splitting Fist pierced through the ethereal body, shattering rocks thirty meters away into dust.

Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan reflected Kitsuchi's shocked and angry face. "The Shadow Guardians are nothing special."

"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!"

Two Rock Plate, each a hundred meters in diameter, closed like giant hands, while Obito emerged calmly from the crevice.

"A mere trick." Obito instantly unleashed Great Fireball, the flames twisting and reforming as they reached his Kitsuchi Rock Armor. "Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance!"

The flames scorched the Kitsuchi, causing him to vomit blood and retreat violently. In his agony, he slammed his palms on the ground, unleashing the "Earth Release and Digging!"

The towering rock pillar Obito a hundred meters into the air. Obito smiled slightly and activated Hollowfication once more.

In an instant, the Kitsuchi turned back!

Spatial fluctuations appeared behind Kurotsuchi! Kitsuchi shouted instinctively, but suddenly the spatial fluctuations disappeared. Before Kitsuchi could react, a sharp pain shot through his back! Obito's hand had pierced through Kitsuchi's back!

Amidst the blood mist, Obito laughed maniacally, "Seeing his granddaughter and son reduced to this state, the Old Man Tsuchikage will go insane, won't he?"

Young Kurotsuchi, and the future Leg Shadow, had no ability to resist Obito. Both were of the "earth" generation, and in the entire Iwagakure, only Ōnoki could fight Obito.

After knocking Kurotsuchi, Obito retrieved half of the Eight-Tails Tentacle from the Kamui Dimension.

He carelessly tossed the tentacles onto the ground, Kitsuchi Tu coughed up blood.

"You bastard... what are you?" Kitsuchi's last words were drowned out by the blood seeping from the cracks in the rocks.

"Goodnight." Obito, holding the unconscious Kurotsuchi, sank into the Spatial Vortex and disappeared from the Hidden Stone Training Ground.

Three minutes later.

The Hidden Stone Anbu finally arrived.

The Eight-Tails Tentacle in the center of the Training Ground were so conspicuous, with pieces of Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi earth scattered about.

"Report this to the Lord Tsuchikage immediately! Kumogakure has broken the Peace Treaty!"

The Land of Water.

The rain was torrential, and there was fog in the rain.

Wearing straw hats Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki casually found a small shop, sat down, and ordered two bowls of noodles.

"After pulling the Three-Tails out of the sea, we'll head back to your village immediately. Itachi-san, do you miss it?"

Itachi Uchiha was silent for a moment before speaking, "Eat quickly, then we'll be on our way."
