Namikaze Minato held a giant Rasenshuriken in his hand, but unlike Naruto's version, his was more like the ultimate enhanced version of a Fuma Shuriken.
The massive four-pronged blade was larger, longer, and also sharper than Naruto's.
It spun rapidly, looking almost as if it wasn't moving at all.
However.
Just by getting close, Obito could already feel the terrifying power within it.
The four wind blades meant death upon contact!
The most terrifying thing was—
At this moment, he felt the space closing in.
I can't stay here.
I must leave!
Obito gritted his teeth and, seizing the moment before the space was completely sealed, forcefully activated his visual prowess.
The space instantly broke open.
But.
At this very instant, Namikaze Minato's Rasenshuriken also arrived.
Obito controlled his Susanoo, throwing a shuriken composed of six magatama with both hands.
However.
Just upon contact—
Crack!
His Yasaka Magatama instantly shattered, and the Rasenshuriken expanded along with it.
The frantically cutting blade directly tore through the Susanoo's arm.
But.
That was as far as it went!
It was Namikaze Minato's Sage clone. Obito looked up and his pupils immediately shrank.
In the distance, Kushina had reabsorbed the Nine-Tails clone and was now completely golden, a dark sphere condensing in her mouth.
This was—
A Tailed Beast Bomb?
His eyes focused, both Kamui abilities working in unison. After limitlessly increasing his visual power, Obito once again felt a change in his Susanoo.
However.
The next second, he felt a wave of dizziness.
Damn it!
Not enough chakra...
"To support a stronger Susanoo, I'm afraid I'd have to become a jinchuriki. But there's no time or opportunity for that now."
Obito understood in his heart.
However.
After pushing his visual power to the limit, he still managed to open a rift.
The next second, a vortex appeared in space, sucking the Tailed Beast Bomb in.
Boom!
A violent chakra fluctuation came from the alternate dimension.
Even Obito didn't dare to enter the alternate dimension for a moment, and this space had been completely sealed off.
This was a massive barrier technique that seemed to cover a very wide area.
Obito's expression was grave.
Time to go!
He quickly started to walk away.
The Susanoo was extremely large. One step covered several hundred meters.
Leaving Konoha would have been a matter of just a few dozen steps, but the moment he turned around.
In the distance, a roaring sound erupted.
Following that—
Five types of ninjutsu simultaneously smashed out from one area.
Five Style Great Combo Blast!
Five elements, five ninja arts, erupted from five directions in the same area at the same time, smashing towards Obito.
The Susanoo brandished its blade and slashed down with one strike.
But.
Boom!
A violent explosion erupted at the focal point of the ninjutsu.
At the same time.
One by one, chains entangled the Susanoo.
This was—
Adamantine Sealing Chains!
In the end, I still have to rely on the Uzumaki clan's sealing jutsu!
The Nine-Tails gritted its teeth, providing as much chakra as it could to allow Kushina's Adamantine Sealing Chains to lock down this Susanoo.
It certainly didn't like Konoha.
However.
Compared to Konoha, it hated the culprits even more—
Madara, and Madara's subordinates.
The current Uchiha Obito was clearly the successor to Madara's ideology.
Just as they were locked in a stalemate.
Suddenly, a scroll appeared in Tsunade's hand.
This was not the Flying Thunder God, but a message sent by the Flying Thunder God Formation.
On it was—
The Fourth Mizukage, "Karatachi Yagura," has arrived with the Hidden Mist!
"Karatachi Yagura at this time..."
"That's right, this guy was controlled by Madara long ago. How could he not come?"
Tsunade gritted her teeth.
She body-flickered towards the eastern part of the village.
According to the intelligence, Karatachi Yagura had landed from the east and, under the cover of the White Zetsu army, had directly bypassed the defense line and charged straight in.
Although the ANBU tried to stop him, the opponent was, after all, the Kage of a village.
Even if the ANBU were well-trained, they were no match for Karatachi Yagura. He led the elite of the Hidden Mist Village and charged straight in.
When it came to war, they were for real!
"Tsunade-sama..."
"Where is Yagura?"
"According to intelligence, he has already reached Konoha territory. Their target is very clear, and those strange creatures are not afraid of death. We are having some trouble holding them back."
"Send the village's ninjas for support! The battlefield over there will be commanded by you, Inoichi, and Choza. Don't let them disrupt our battle in the village."
Tsunade immediately said, "As for Karatachi Yagura, I will deal with him!"
"But—"
"Don't worry, leave that side to Minato and the others."
Tsunade thought quickly.
The barrier had just been completed. This was the most critical moment for both sides.
If they let the enemy in at this time...
All previous efforts would be wasted!
She must stop Karatachi Yagura.
...
"Mizukage-sama, are we... really going to fight Konoha to the end?"
"Do as I say, don't ask too many questions."
Yagura glanced coldly.
"Yes!"
Hozuki Mugetsu lowered his head.
The other ANBU ninjas were silent like cicadas in winter.
Karatachi Yagura was becoming more and more insane.
The Blood Mist...
They exchanged glances and sighed inwardly.
Having come this far, there was no other way.
To flee is death, to fight is also death.
Might as well have a good fight!
Just as they were thinking, a figure stood before them.
This ninja was rather peculiar.
His body was swaying, and he coughed repeatedly even while standing there, sounding as if he were in his twilight years.
Karatachi Yagura narrowed his eyes, looked into the distance, then chuckled and said, "Kaguya Eisuke, you think you alone can stop us?"
"Cough, cough."
Kaguya Eisuke coughed repeatedly, his face pale.
Then, he raised his head.
"I can't stop you for long, but for a short time, I can still do it."
"As a warrior of the Land of Water, you now fight for Konoha. Your clan is truly born of traitors!"
Karatachi Yagura sneered.
Kaguya Eisuke remained silent.
The Kaguya clan had already been annihilated, and the perpetrators were the Mizukage and the Mist ninjas before him.
However.
He was past the age for verbal sparring.
Once, he was the most outstanding ninja of the Kaguya clan, until he later contracted the Kekkei Genkai illness, and only then did he slowly fade into decadence.
And now.
The Kaguya clan's Dance of the Seedling Fern will bloom once again today!
Kaguya Eisuke's eyes were firm.
On his neck, the pale flesh was slowly expanding, engulfing and covering his entire body.
This was the countdown to his life.
However.
During this time, he could at least, for his clansmen, launch one final revenge!
Faced with the culprits, the best way is—
To pull out the spine and turn it into a sword.
"Everyone of the Kaguya clan..."
"Join me in revenge!"
Dance of the Clematis: Vine!
The figure that flashed by in an instant appeared in front of Karatachi Yagura the next second.
The current Yagura had shed most of his Tailed Beast power, with only a little Three-Tails chakra left to sustain his life.
However.
He had his own secret technique.
Water Style: Water Mirror Technique!
Water formed a mirror, and an identical person instantly rushed out of the mirror, turning into a human form in the blink of an eye.
But the next second, Kaguya Eisuke, like a humanoid beast, instantly roared and turned into a shadow.
In the blink of an eye—
A line cut across the person who emerged from the water mirror.
Bang!
The figure dissipated.
Kaguya Eisuke rushed in front of the Fourth Mizukage, the bone blade in his hand stabbing out in an instant.
However.
The next second, the Karatachi Yagura in front of him turned into a floating shadow.
A fake?
No!
It's—
The water mirror instantly turned into a person, immediately enveloping him.
Below, a pair of hands reached out, pulling him underground.
White Zetsu.
And...
Karatachi Yagura.
Kaguya Eisuke was silent.
Since it's like this, then...
Dance of the Seedling Fern!
A massive amount of chakra erupted. At this moment, he was drawing on his chakra and the life energy within his body.
Bones grew crazily and disorderly from his body, extending in all directions.
Tch!
One by one, the bones pierced into the ground and the surface in all directions, dense like a forest.
Above, Hozuki Mugetsu turned into water, dodging continuously between the bone blades.
As for Karatachi Yagura...
His true body immediately leaped to the treetops.
Even so, bone spikes still grew out crazily, approaching his body.
At this moment.
Hozuki Mugetsu's body transformed into a giant water person, holding the Blastsword in his hand, and a single sweep produced a series of explosions.
The surrounding bone spikes collapsed one by one, but then grew out again in succession.
The entire area formed a dense restricted zone.
Karatachi Yagura formed hand seals.
Water Style: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!
A torrent of water formed a stacked lake. He stood at the very top, avoiding the siege of bone spikes.
However.
Underground, the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village, except for the Hozuki clan, were all killed.
Furthermore, under the dense bone spikes, those White Zetsu suffered very heavy casualties.
For a short period, this path could no longer cause a substantial impact.
But.
What surprised him was—
Even though he had used Water Style to get to a very high position, these bone spikes still appeared beside him.
Yagura quickly dodged.
Just then, Karatachi Yagura looked down.
In the bone forest, a figure emerged, charging towards him with a huge bone blade.
Suddenly.
A figure emerged from a tree.
He was half black, half white, with one eye empty.
At this time, Black Zetsu took out an eye and immediately put it on.
The eye quickly fused.
The next second, just as Kaguya Eisuke was raising his spear to charge at Yagura, a huge suction force came from below.
Universal Pull!
The massive attractive force directly pulled Kaguya Eisuke from the air, causing him to deviate from his trajectory.
This blow...
Missed!
The next second, his body was swallowed by white flesh.
One by one, bone spikes shot out again in a disorderly manner towards the surroundings.
However.
Faced with this kind of attack, Yagura continuously used Water Style, quickly evading from above and using the bone forest to avoid it.
A few seconds later, he stood on a water sphere and took the eye that Zetsu handed over.
"This body may not be able to withstand the power of this eye."
"It's fine. As long as we transplant a part of the flesh, we can at least hold on until we deliver it to Konoha."
Black Zetsu said.
Yagura nodded lightly, cut a wound on his arm, and filled it with White Zetsu's flesh.
"It's a pity Nagato is unwilling to be used by me and has instead become a running dog for the people of Konoha. Otherwise, we could have been more composed."
Yagura's tone was indifferent.
He was not angry about Nagato's betrayal.
Because...
He had already known about this matter before, and now it was just being truly confirmed.
"With Obito's ability and so many Tailed Beasts, he shouldn't be in too much of a mess, right?"
"It's hard to say."
Black Zetsu shook his head.
He didn't doubt Obito's ability, but at the same time, he didn't doubt Kyohiko's ability.
How could that kid, who had thought of the importance of Nagato, not have considered Obito's situation?
The current Konoha might be an opportunity, but it could also be a huge trap, just waiting for Obito to jump in.
It was for this reason that they had arranged this raid from the Hidden Mist Village.
However.
Konoha's counterattack was also beyond their expectations.
Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Seedling Fern.
Although it was just one person, combined with the Hashirama cells, it erupted with very terrifying power, making them almost helpless.
Fortunately, they made it in time!
Black Zetsu looked down at the dead Kaguya Eisuke, feeling a little regretful.
"This clan is also very powerful. If they could be used by us..."
"People who cannot be controlled are not worth regretting. Let's go!"
"Yagura" took the Rinnegan and body-flickered forward.
But.
Not long after, a figure appeared in front.
The Hokage of Konoha, Tsunade.
Along with her came a group of Konoha ninjas.
"It seems I can't get through."
Zetsu re-emerged. On the side, a Black Zetsu had already withered.
With a White Zetsu's body, he could only use the Rinnegan's power once before being drained dry.
Moreover.
That kind of technique could only be maintained for an instant.
But.
Even if it was just for an instant, as long as he could get the thing in, he could...
Zetsu took the Rinnegan and quickly submerged deep into the earth, using his own ability to move swiftly.
This kind of Earth Style speed, even ninjas skilled in Earth Style couldn't possibly catch up.
Including Ryoho Kyohiko.
However.
Upon entering Konoha, he immediately felt a special barrier being maintained.
This is—
A barrier technique against space ninjutsu?
Damn it!
Black Zetsu immediately realized that Konoha had indeed made arrangements in advance.
Obito's strongest ability was his spatial ability.
Once Konoha used this kind of barrier to seal the space of the entire area, then Obito's Sharingan ability would be greatly weakened.
Even.
It could almost be said to be "crippled."
Without the Sharingan, how could Obito compete with Namikaze Minato?
No wonder that kid Kyohiko left with such confidence!
It's this guy again!
Black Zetsu gritted his teeth.
This was not the first time Kyohiko had ruined his plans.
If not for Ryoho Kyohiko, they might have already gathered the Tailed Beasts, and the eyes on Nagato's side could be taken at any time.
Even.
A simple-minded child like Nagato could be made to serve him with just a little bit of planning.
At that time, he might not necessarily need Madara, and he might be able to realize his plan in a simpler way.
And now?
It's all a mess!
Nagato rebelled, and he only managed to get one eye back, and even that took a lot of effort. If not for careful calculation...
He might not have even gotten this eye.
Damn Ryoho Kyohiko!
When Mother descends, I will definitely crush this guy's bones to dust!
Black Zetsu thought viciously in his heart.
He sensed Obito's location and quickly moved over, his speed extremely fast.
And above.
Obito's Susanoo had already collapsed by more than half, reduced to a half-body state.
Although it could still provide some protection, its defensive effect was much worse than before.
The key was.
He couldn't use his space-time ability. Faced with Minato's Body Flicker Technique, he was no match at all.
Namikaze Minato was too strong!
A hint of despair flashed in Obito's heart: without the Sharingan, he was Still a Trash!
