In the woods, Obito found Uchiha Itachi's hiding place.
"Itachi, as you can see, Pain started the Fourth Shinobi World War for his own selfish reasons, and completely destroyed Konoha."
I'm heartbroken too, and I was just about to go stop him. Don't forget our promise.
"Knew."
"Yes, I'm relieved to hear that. Also, I have a surprise for you after everything is done."
call out!
Obito vanished without a trace, his speed more than twice as fast as before.
Itachi had clearly noticed this, and had just been considering whether to take advantage of the situation, but upon seeing this, he immediately abandoned the idea.
He won't act unless he's absolutely certain.
roar...
The situation changed at this moment, and even though the Nine-Tails struggled with all its might, it still could not change its ultimate fate.
They were slowly dragged into the golem's mouth.
Stop it!
Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the elite squad remaining in Konoha rushed over, each unleashing their Ninjutsu to attack the demonic statue.
It was both tragic and moving.
Naruto saw all of this through Nine-Tails and was extremely excited. "Everyone... no one gave up. This is the power of comrades."
Hey... you stinky fox, we have to give it our all too.
"Shut up! You'd be better off thinking about how to escape!" the Nine-Tails Fox snapped. Its legs were practically smoking from dragging it along; where would it find the energy to exert itself?
Sizzle... Sizzle...
thunderbolt!
The root-like protrusions around the golem's neck gathered a massive amount of lightning, which was released in all directions, knocking down those who attacked.
The group's attacks were like ants trying to shake a tree to destroy the golem.
"Super Human Bullet Tank "
Two enormous rollers launched a high-speed collision from the left and right, and the golems reached out and grabbed one person each, slamming them down onto the ground.
They tried to squeeze it hard enough to burst the soup dumpling, but the expected burst of filling didn't happen.
The Akimichi Clan's increased toughness and hardness after multiplication were beyond imagination. When spinning at high speed, they were stronger than a cutting machine, grinding two deep pits into the ground. At the critical moment, they saved their own lives.
" Super Multi-Size Technique "
Two mountain-sized giants appeared on either side of the golem, each grabbing one of its arms.
" Shadow Manipulation Technique "
More than ten members of the Nara Clan joined forces to activate the Shadow Imitation Technique, condensing into a giant black shadow arm that wrapped around the golem's legs.
"Now's the time. Let's do it."
Bang!
Tsunade leaped up and slammed her fist into the Chakra chains. "What? My power can't break them?"
" Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan "
The large dumpling aimed at another chain, but failed again.
"I understand now. These Chakra chains probably have sealing properties; ordinary Ninjutsu simply can't break them."
Jiraiya immediately realized what was happening and quickly said, " Tsunade, please help me stall for time with everyone."
"Are we going to summon those two immortals again?"
Tsunade worried that by the time Jiraiya summoned the two sages, it would be too late.
Jiraiya shook his head. "No need, it's just to test if the Senjutsu works. It'll be quick."
His own ability allows him to enter Sage Mode for five minutes, which is enough for short battles.
However, he opened his eyes again in shock as soon as he closed his hands, his face full of disbelief, and looked around.
"What's wrong?"
"I... I didn't feel Natural Energy, how could this be...?"
Jiraiya's brain was fried; this had never happened before, unless someone had drained Natural Energy from the surrounding area.
Turning to look at the Nine-Tails, he thought, " Tailed Beast might have this ability, but the Nine-Tails probably doesn't have the time to absorb Natural Energy right now."
Tsunade's forehead veins bulged; Jiraiya always messes things up at crucial moments.
thunderbolt!
The golem unleashed another powerful bolt of lightning, blasting away all the Akimichi Clan and Nara Clan members who were binding it. Several unlucky individuals were instantly electrocuted and turned into charred remains.
"A pointless act of resistance."
Six Paths of Pain stood atop the golem's head, looking down at the crowd. They had no idea what kind of power the golem possessed, now that it had gathered all eight Tailed Beast.
The ultimate weapon of war will surely deter the Five Great Nations, making them dare not provoke war again.
Just when everyone was in utter despair...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Suddenly, an enormous Shuriken flew from the side; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be three fiery red Tomoe interlocking energy balls.
" Yasaka Magatama "
Boom boom boom!!
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was jolted back by the sudden attack, and in a daze, it saw an orange light sword slashing down.
Click... click
The Chakra chains imbued with sealing power were severed cleanly by the orange lightsaber.
roar...
In despair, the Nine-Tails let out a wild roar, seizing the opportunity to escape its chains, and glanced at the person who had helped it.
" Sharingan? So you're Uchiha bastard, humph."
Nine-Tails) never gave a kind look to any of the Uchiha members, and he would never forget that day.
As the sun set, it played freely in the wild when an Uchiha carrying Gunbai came up to it, tied it up like a dog, and dragged it away.
That's terrifying; just thinking about that guy makes me tremble.
"Itachi, you've chosen to side with them after all."
Pain couldn't understand Uchiha Itachi's actions. He was forced by the village to kill his entire clan, yet now he was standing up to protect the village.
Does abuse breed love?
"War only brings more death, and such peace is unacceptable to the world."
Nominally, Uchiha Itachi is still an S-rank rogue ninja wanted by Konoha, and his actions are probably incomprehensible even to the people of Konoha.
I can only find a plausible reason to take action.
Pain glanced at Itachi's Susanoo and said, " The Mangekyō Sharingan is indeed powerful, but you can't stop me."
"Of course I can't do it alone; you're facing the entire Shinobi World."
" Amaterasu "
As Itachi spoke, he suddenly unleashed Deva Path Pain Amaterasu, intending to eliminate the main force controlling the golem, which would then stop on its own.
Black flames burned on Deva Path Pain's body at such a speed that the Preta Path didn't even have time to react.
"Black flames that can burn everything to ashes? Hmph, don't forget... the Rinnegan is a dojutsu that can absorb Ninjutsu and Chakra."
The Preta Path stepped forward and stretched out both hands to absorb all the black flames, easily breaking the attack.
"They're really cautious; they didn't even use repulsion to bounce off. They're probably guarding against my follow-up moves."
Deva Path Pain's gaze remained fixed on the gourd in Susanoo's right hand, the Totsuka Blade, a divine weapon capable of sealing enemies. It was this very sword that had just severed the Chakra chains.
This alerted Pain.
For top-tier masters, some techniques can only be used once by surprise; don't expect to succeed easily afterward.
On Konoha's side, the injured ninjas were equally surprised.
"That's... Uchiha Itachi, right?"
"Strange, why is he...?"
Although Jiraiya had never met Itachi, he had heard of her name. He turned to Tsunade and asked, " Tsunade, do you know what's going on?"
"How should I know? Maybe it's infighting, but anyway, it's good for us."
Tsunade shook her head. She summoned Katsuyu to treat everyone, while her disciple Sakura and nominal disciple Ino Yamanaka assisted, taking charge of bandaging.
The secret of the Uchiha Clan Massacre was known only to a few people from the previous generation; two of them died, and the remaining two refused to speak even in death.
Even she didn't know the specifics of the incident.
"Never mind that, Jiraiya. You were right about something: Nine-Tails seems a little different."
"You must trust my judgment. The opportunity to control the Nine-Tails ' power is rare. I hope Naruto can reach an agreement with the Nine-Tails, otherwise it will be truly dangerous."
At this moment, Nine-Tails) was sitting there, condensing Tailed Beast Bomb.
It originally wanted to condense a super-large Tailed Beast Bomb, but most of its Chakra was taken away by the Ten-Tails. It tried to absorb Natural Energy for conversion, but it couldn't absorb it either.
It's panicking now; the injured little fox can only fight back desperately.
" Naruto, if you don't want to die, lend me your Chakra now."
"Ah... my Chakra? Hi."
Naruto began to concentrate on gathering Chakra and channeling it into Nine-Tails's body. Their relationship was now very strange, completely reversed.
The Tailed Beast were supposed to provide Chakra to the Jinchūriki, but now it's the other way around.
Among the many Jinchūriki, quite a few get along well with their Tailed Beast, but Perfect Jinchuriki Killer B; the others don't qualify.
Naruto has never truly subdued the Nine-Tails, nor can he use its Nine-Tails. He is only cooperating temporarily due to Chakra, which is far from meeting the basic requirements of the Nine-Tails Mode.
" Tailed Beast Bomb "
boom..!!
The Tailed Beast Bomb exploded, and before it could even be launched, a giant hand descended from the sky and slammed down on it.
The earth shook violently, but the basic structure of Konoha remained intact, only the water level dropped by more than ten meters.
It might become the second Valley of the End.
Awoo...
The Tailed Beast ' vitality is beyond imagination. The power that could flatten mountains exploded on them, but apart from shrinking their size again, they didn't cause any other damage.
Still full of energy, his anger level is at its maximum.
At this moment, Aoki Tsuki appeared on the top of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and said, "Leader, delay will only lead to trouble. You must quickly absorb the Nine-Tails and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."
As for this guy, I'll handle him.
Entering Sage Mode, he sensed Orochimaru's presence; that guy seemed to be up to something.
"Understood."
Deva Path Pain immediately manipulated the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to stride towards the Nine-Tails. He changed his strategy, no longer using Chakra chains to drag it, as that would be a tug-of-war and a waste of time.
roar...
A purple Chakra dragon shot out from the golem's mouth, quickly coiling around the Nine-Tails ' body and frantically absorbing its Chakra.
The Nine-Tails- Tails watched helplessly as its body shrank, then swung its claws to sever the Chakra dragon. The next moment, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path released nine Chakra dragons that pounced on it.
"Damn it! You're trying to weaken my power..."
After being pulled like this several times, Nine-Tails felt dizzy and weak.
Splash...
The Chakra chains wrapped around it again, dragging it along. This time, however, it encountered little resistance. The Nine-Tails struggled and roared, but to no avail.
