It wasn't that Tsunade didn't value the children.
But.
The key right now was Kushina. In comparison, she wouldn't be as concerned even if Temari were captured and her chakra taken away.
The One-Tails was relatively not that powerful.
However.
Once the Nine-Tails was taken, the consequences would be severe.
The Nine-Tails was their last line of defense and must not be lost!
Just as Tsunade was about to speak, a chakra fluctuation suddenly came from the space.
Although she didn't know the Flying Thunder God technique, she had dealt with it a lot over the years and was quite sensitive to space.
But.
She had thought it was Minato, but in reality—
The moment the spiral space appeared, Tsunade knew it wasn't Minato, but Uchiha Obito.
How could he be here?
Tsunade's pupils shrank, but she didn't pause for a moment, instantly arriving beside Kushina.
The next moment, a massive amount of chakra instantly erupted.
Boom!
The chakra from her entire body burst forth, turning into a shockwave that randomly and erratically blasted the surroundings.
Uchiha Obito, who had just appeared, was instantly sent flying.
Tsunade raised an eyebrow and said, "Brat, your ability is indeed strong, but not to the point where you can act so recklessly!"
Obito coughed repeatedly, blood spilling from his mouth.
That blow was really heavy!
Moreover.
Her timing was too perfect. She had detected him almost the instant he appeared, giving him no time or ability to react.
This kind of widespread, chaotic chakra attack...
Ryoho Kyohiko's countermeasure?
Obito wanted to stand up, but he found his whole body in pain. He clearly wanted to stand, but his hands were twitching uncontrollably.
What was going on?
He immediately realized something was wrong and quickly rolled on the ground.
Below, several White Zetsu broke through the ground and surrounded the charging Tsunade.
Boom!
One kick.
The earth roared. Amidst the huge cloud of dust, Obito seized the last opportunity, finally adapted to the changes in his body, and quickly body-flickered away to dodge.
In the air, he saw this horrifying scene, his mind a blank, gaining a deeper understanding of the so-called "Sannin."
The Sannin's reputation was earned through killing!
Their combat intelligence was not to be underestimated!
Unless...
He could be like Kyohiko, with strength reaching a level beyond their limits, making it impossible for them to keep up with his speed.
Otherwise.
Before that, he still had to maintain a certain level of awe.
Obito's gaze swept towards Kushina and Temari, who were breaking through in the distance, and the small Nine-Tails in their arms. His visual prowess instantly reached its peak.
He intended to activate Kamui.
However.
Tsunade charged over again.
Boom!
From a great distance, Obito could still clearly see the intense chakra flow on her, that terrifying power...
If I get hit, it will probably be the same as before!
He was unwilling to give up on Kamui, his eyes erupting with visual power.
Instantly, a powerful chakra burst out from Obito's body.
Blue chakra surged out, quickly forming a blue upper-body skeleton.
In just a second, a layer of clothing appeared outside the skeleton, and meridians and flesh appeared inside.
This was...
Without needing an explanation, as his visual power developed, the term Madara had mentioned before quickly appeared in Obito's mind.
Susanoo!
Bang!
Tsunade's monstrous strength was completely blocked by the Susanoo, not harming Obito's main body.
This is Susanoo?
Obito really wanted to laugh.
With such power, what was there to fear?
The Uchiha truly possessed the ability to reshape the ninja world and achieve eternal peace!
Tsunade, Namikaze Minato...
You can't stop me!
Obito's gaze focused.
Kamui!
In the distance, where his eyes converged, Kushina was struggling to resist the suction force.
Uchiha Obito was going to suck them all in!
"Idiot! Hurry up and help me undo the seal!"
The Nine-Tails clone roared in fury.
At a time like this, you're still keeping me sealed?
Kushina woke up as if from a dream and quickly began to undo the seal with the unsealing technique, but this required some time.
Even if it only took a few seconds, it wasn't something the current situation could afford.
"I'll block it!"
Temari said.
Anyway...
If I die, no one will care!
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you need to sacrifice yourselves here?"
Tsunade cursed angrily.
If Madara hadn't gotten his hands on her grandfather's cells, it would have been impossible for Obito to master such a level of power at this time.
If...
But there were no ifs.
She roared in anger, "How long are you going to fool around in front of me?"
As she roared, she formed hand seals.
Strength of a Hundred Seal!
Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth!
Obito's pupils shrank, instantly feeling a great sense of crisis.
The next moment, Tsunade lifted her leg and was in front of him in an instant, her speed several times faster than before.
How is that possible?
This is...
This is a special chakra mode!
Obito, through his Sharingan, quickly saw the terrifyingly abundant chakra on Tsunade.
One kick smashed down.
Crack!
The Susanoo, formed from chakra, actually shattered in an instant.
Obito's eyes were filled with shock. As his gaze focused, the position of Kamui also shifted from the distance to Tsunade.
But.
Just as his dojutsu tore off a piece of Tsunade's leg, new flesh grew and regenerated the next second.
And at the same time, Tsunade had already rushed in front of him.
This fearless fighting style shocked Obito.
To avoid being attacked again, he could only let himself phase into the alternate dimension, but—
At this moment, he had other means.
From the space, a massive amount of chakra surged out again.
In the other dimension, a shadow clone was controlling the Tailed Beasts, making them spray chakra wantonly.
There was no Tailed Beast Bomb, but the chaotic chakra attacks in the chaotic space created a terrifying disaster.
Even though Tsunade had the powerful Strength of a Hundred Seal, her taijutsu had reached the physical limit, and her chakra was constantly healing her body, but...
Faced with the Tailed Beast's chakra and the chaotic space, she was still powerless and was instantly knocked back.
On Obito's body, the Susanoo re-emerged.
He looked up and saw that Kushina had already taken the Nine-Tails and Temari and fled into the distance.
Damn it!
Obito glanced at Tsunade and quickly disappeared from the spot.
...
ANBU Headquarters.
Namikaze Minato was anxious.
"Orochimaru-senpai, how much longer?"
"Don't be anxious!"
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, looking at the crystal ball in front of him, and...
The Third Hokage maintaining the crystal ball.
"It will take some time. Don't worry about Obito and the villagers. Someone will stop them."
"What we need to do is to completely lock down the space here before he notices!"
Orochimaru's voice was cold.
"But in that case, Kyohiko and I won't be able to use the Flying Thunder God either. With Uchiha Obito's current ability..."
Minato's shadow clone sighed, "I hope he won't notice."
Orochimaru was very calm.
To make the prey step into the trap, one must be calm enough.
Being too flustered will only make the prey sense danger and flee quickly.
Therefore.
He would not change his mind because of the commotion outside.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was grave.
"Orochimaru, if it really comes down to it, I have one more technique that might be useful."
"What technique?"
Orochimaru couldn't help but be puzzled.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "It's a forbidden sealing technique."
"The Reverse Four Symbols Sealing? Or..."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, then said, "Don't bother. It won't succeed. Uchiha Obito won't give you the chance to catch him."
He paused for a moment, his gaze turning to the crystal.
"It's in position!"
"Go, it's your time to appear. Be careful not to use the Flying Thunder God frequently, because the space could be locked down at any time."
Orochimaru looked at Minato's clone.
"Yes."
Namikaze Minato's shadow clone began to send signals using the Flying Thunder God.
One by one, kunai quickly dispersed.
This was the signal to act.
...
At the Konoha Ninja Academy, White Zetsu disguised as ninjas emerged one after another and rushed into the school.
But.
Before they could arrive, figures quickly charged over.
"Everyone, you are not allowed to enter the school, or you will die!"
The voice echoed all around.
"Let us in, we need to get our children!"
"Yes, we need to..."
Suddenly, a child emerged from behind the gate wall.
He looked joyful, seemingly having seen a relative, but—
The next second, a crimson color appeared in his eyes.
The tomoe in Uchiha Shisui's eyes quickly changed, turning into a special pattern.
Then, a powerful genjutsu instantly pulled them all in.
In an instant.
They all reverted to their White Zetsu forms.
These people were all transformed White Zetsu.
However.
Just by identifying them through chakra, aura, and appearance, it was impossible to tell who they were.
"This ability is truly bizarre!"
Shisui said in a low voice.
Then, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, "Kill each other!"
In an instant, the surroundings became chaotic.
Before they could finish killing each other.
A sheet of flames engulfed them.
Uchiha Yashiro directly annihilated these White Zetsu with a Great Fireball.
"Shisui, all the civilians have been moved to the periphery. Anyone wandering around at this time is one of these strange creatures!"
"Understood."
Shisui nodded and said, "Then there's no need to hold back."
"The captain means the same thing. Our Security Force should shoulder the responsibility of guarding the village!"
Uchiha Yashiro looked around.
Then, his pupils shrank.
"That is—"
A powerful aura appeared in the village.
Following that, a massive chakra presence covered the entire village.
The Nine-Tails!
It's been unsealed again?
"And another power..."
Shisui's breathing hitched slightly.
Unlike Yashiro, what he felt was a completely different power.
Susanoo!
At this time, is it Uchiha Obito?
Shisui took a deep breath, but he knew he couldn't leave the school.
The children had not been evacuated yet.
Just as he was thinking, a cry of alarm came from behind.
A swarm of White Zetsu flooded into the school building.
These White Zetsu were not strong.
However, their vast numbers were more than enough to deal with children.
Shisui's brow furrowed with anger, and he said, "Obito has already betrayed his original ideals!"
The original Obito yearned for eternal peace.
Although he didn't understand it and felt it might be a trick, he still approved of Obito's actions.
And now?
Attacking a group of children.
This was not the path to achieving peace at all!
Shisui body-flickered and disappeared.
"Uncle Yashiro, please help the children here..."
He turned his head and saw that behind him, trees were growing one after another, instantly crushing the charging White Zetsu.
Although they weren't completely killed, there was a force there strong enough to protect the children!
"I'll cover their retreat. You go and see what's going on."
Yashiro understood very well.
Although the current Shisui was young, with his special power and the Mangekyo Sharingan, his overall strength had already surpassed him, his senior.
For a true genius, age is a shackle, but not one that cannot be broken.
For example, Kyohiko.
And for another example, the current Shisui.
The village had fallen into unprecedented chaos.
But for all the people of Konoha, they were not panicked at all, because their familiar Security Force had begun evacuating at the very beginning of the chaos.
"Everyone, gather at the Security Force's side!"
"Everyone, don't panic. All of us in the Security Force will protect you with our lives."
"Maintain order!"
Fugaku shouted loudly, occasionally body-flickering away to kill a few White Zetsu.
"Captain Fugaku, should we go and support the village?"
"No need. Our mission is to protect the villagers. There will be others responsible for the village. If we go, we'll just cause trouble."
Fugaku was very calm.
He understood very well.
These strange enemies were definitely not here to destroy Konoha.
They didn't have that kind of ability.
Countless enemies.
An unfathomable motive.
All they could do now was to maintain the security of the village and protect everyone's safety. Everything else was superfluous.
Inuzuka Tsume roared helplessly, then charged at the other White Zetsu.
"Not good!"
"My ninja hounds have found that some of the people here are not our own..."
Inuzuka Tsume said.
"They've infiltrated? Damn it!"
Fugaku was just about to do something.
Suddenly, a wisp of smoke spread out, then quickly condensed into a shape.
The condensed figure quickly killed one person.
"Fugaku-sama, I suggest we separate everyone by residential area and clan, so they can identify and monitor each other. These enemies have strong imitation abilities and can perfectly simulate chakra."
"Understood."
Fugaku recognized this ability.
The Iburi clan!
They were now capable assistants in the ANBU, controlling a powerful intelligence network.
Although they were part of the intelligence gathering unit, their information was undoubtedly more accurate than theirs.
"What on earth are these things?"
Inuzuka Trowa was annoyed.
Very weak.
However, these things could split and combine, just like insects.
"They are some kind of strange clones. Currently, we haven't figured out how to specifically identify them. We only know that they will show a different state after being controlled by smoke."
"Let me do it!"
Fugaku sighed helplessly.
The next second, he opened his eyes.
Instantly, a genjutsu covered all of them.
Of course.
This was not a dojutsu, but just the Temple of Nirvana Technique.
This genjutsu could make everyone fall asleep.
Although the consumption was relatively large, right now, it was the only way to keep everyone safe until they could be identified.
However.
As the supporter from the Iburi clan said.
Although these people were weak, they were special, so their resistance to genjutsu would also be different.
If they were unwilling to fall asleep, they would definitely resist.
Then they could naturally be identified!
Fugaku scanned the area. Soon, he saw a figure moving, seemingly trying to kill the person beside it.
"Kill him!"
