Hearing Zetsu say this, Obito's eyes narrowed slightly, "So fast?"
He guessed that Orochimaru might have a way to defeat Nagato, but he didn't expect it to be so quick.
Even if Nagato couldn't fully use the power of the Rinnegan, it was still the Rinnegan after all. Just those few supreme eye techniques alone could keep them entangled for a long time.
In the shadows, Zetsu said slowly, "That's right, Orochimaru is even more difficult than the last time in Takigakure Village."
As an observer of the previous two battles, Zetsu was also surprised by Orochimaru's growth. If he couldn't find Orochimaru's real body, killing some clones was completely meaningless.
After a moment of silence, Obito turned his gaze to the Konoha people who were showing joy, "This time, consider yourselves lucky."
After saying this, he disappeared into the distorted air.
"Wait..."
Kazekage Rasa controlled his gold dust, firing rapidly in the direction of the enemy, but as expected, they all missed.
"That bastard!"
Rasa clenched his fists, his face full of anger.
Whether in Sunagakure Village or now, he could do nothing against the opponent, barely able to defend.
At this moment, Uchiha Jinsuke came to Rasa and clasped his fist, "Thank you, Kazekage, for your help."
"Just fulfilling a request, doing what I was asked to do."
Kazekage Rasa shook his head, "It's also thanks to Orochimaru for defeating the Akatsuki organization early. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on for much longer."
"No! He hasn't left yet!"
Suddenly, Uzumaki Aoi screamed, and almost at the same time, a hand reached out from the air, grabbing directly at Naruto's body.
Kazekage Rasa and Uchiha Jinsuke's expressions changed, but neither they nor Uzumaki Aoi, who was close at hand, had time to react. The latter was not a combat-type ninja, and all she could do was give a warning in advance.
But as they watched Naruto being taken away by the masked man, a deep red Chakra surged from Naruto's body, solidifying into an outer garment on the surface of his body.
The moment Obito's hand touched this outer garment, he activated Kamui at the same time. But unexpectedly, Naruto was not taken away by him, and only a piece of Chakra was stripped away.
"Nine Tails?"
In a dark corner of the shelter, when Obito reappeared, his gaze fell on Naruto, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
This child was only five or six years old, and he could already use the power of a tailed beast? This was truly unexpected.
However, things had come to this, and there was no chance to take away the Nine Tails Jinchuriki today.
"Next time, you won't be so lucky."
After Obito finished speaking, he disappeared directly into the swirling air.
The Fourth Kazekage didn't dare to be careless and once again controlled thousands of gold needles, filling the entire space, not giving the masked man a chance to feint again.
Uchiha Jinsuke came to Naruto's side, examining his body up and down, "How do you feel? Is there anything wrong?"
"No, no, I feel great."
Naruto looked at his hands covered in tailed beast Chakra with surprise on his face, "Is this the fox's power?"
"Hmph!" A cold snort exploded in Naruto's mind, and the tailed beast Chakra disappeared like a receding tide.
After talking with Orochimaru, Nine Tails was very clear about what would happen to him if the masked man took Naruto away, so he was now helping Naruto.
But this did not mean that he approved of him.
Seeing the changes on Naruto, Uchiha Jinsuke asked again, "Naruto, can you still control that power just now?"
Naruto closed his eyes, took a horse stance, and began to sense with all his might, but even when his face turned red, no tailed beast Chakra surged out.
"I can't." Naruto looked disappointed.
"It's okay, what you just did was a good start."
As far as Uchiha Jinsuke knew, even the previous Nine Tails Jinchuriki couldn't borrow Nine Tails' power at this age.
"Heh, Konoha is really full of talented people."
Kazekage Rasa showed a trace of envy on his face.
Whether it was Uzumaki Aoi, who was very sensitive to perception, or Naruto, who showed perfect Jinchuriki talent at a young age, he was envious. In comparison, Sunagakure Village had been declining in recent years due to a lack of talent, and the gap was truly despairing.
"However, perhaps it is because Konoha is so prominent that it has provoked such a powerful enemy for no reason."
Kazekage Rasa could only comfort himself in his heart this way.
…
On the ruins of Konoha Village, Obito revealed his figure. He looked down at Zetsu, who had half his body exposed, "Did everyone else retreat?"
"Nagato's real body was found by Orochimaru, and he retreated immediately after finding that he couldn't win,"
Zetsu said slowly, "Those Kusagakure ninjas didn't find a suitable opportunity, and they are now fighting Konoha ninjas."
"Now the Third Hokage and others have solved the Hungry Ghost Path and a group of giant summoning beasts. After they rush to the battlefield, I am afraid that those people will not be able to escape."
After 'Satori' was ordered by the head of Kusagakure Ninja to return for aid, the strength of Kusagakure Ninja even suppressed the Konoha side's ninjas at one point. But when the Jonin in the village arrived, they had already fallen into a disadvantage. If the Third Hokage and others were added, the situation would become extremely unfavorable, and it was even possible that they would all be killed there.
"Do we want to support them?" Zetsu reminded, "Whether it is Kakuzu and Sasori, or the head of Kusagakure Ninja, Muu, their roles in the organization are self-evident."
After Orochimaru was able to defeat Nagato, the overall strength of the Akatsuki organization was at a disadvantage compared to Konoha. Zetsu was very worried that this would even affect the collection of Tailed Beasts.
In this case, if Obito made things difficult due to the conflict between him and Nagato, it would be a very big loss.
"If that's the case, then I'll help them."
Obito glanced at Zetsu, "You go and tell Kakuzu and Sasori to retreat. Before that, I'll help them stop the Third."
"That's really surprising, you would actually use this method of exposing your strength."
Zetsu pointed in a direction, "The Third Hokage and others are in this direction. You stop them, and I will let Kakuzu and others retreat as soon as possible."
As he spoke, the huge Venus flytrap leaves closed, taking Zetsu into the ground. Obito looked up slightly, and his figure also disappeared into the air.
…
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
The Third Hokage led the elite of the ninja clans through the forest, and the sound of wind breaking echoed continuously.
At a certain moment, Hyuga Hizashi's expression changed slightly, and he shouted loudly, "Enemy attack!"
The Third Hokage suddenly raised his hand, and the elite of the ninja clans behind him stopped on the treetops on command.
"The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is really troublesome."
Obito revealed his figure on a branch of a large tree, and greeted the Third Hokage, "Hokage, this is our first meeting."
"That eye of yours..."
The Third Hokage immediately noticed the Sharingan that was flashing with an eerie light, and said in a deep voice, "As expected, are you a descendant left behind by Uchiha Madara?"
In the team, Uchiha Fugaku glanced at the Third Hokage and lowered his head slightly.
He naturally knew the reason for this statement. Equating this Uchiha's judgment with Uchiha Madara's descendants was to separate him from the Uchiha in the village.
In this way, the controversy that the Uchiha received in the village could be reduced a lot.
"A descendant of Uchiha Madara? Hokage, your mind is really bright."
Subconsciously, Obito's tone became somewhat mocking, and the aggressiveness in his words also became much stronger.
"The last time I met the Hokage, I received news of his death that night. I wonder if there will be the same result this time."
"Bastard!"
"You bastard..."
The Konoha ninjas present were extremely angry, and they each began to launch attacks using their own methods.
Ninja tools, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu... But none of them had any effect, and they all passed through Obito's body, missing.
"Konoha is nothing more than this."
Obito flashed into the Konoha ninja team and made hand seals, "Wood Release: Hell's乱!" (Hell's Disorder)
A thorny tree rose from the ground below him, blocking the shuriken, kunai and other ninja tools that were attacking again, and entangling the surrounding Konoha ninjas in it.
The dense thorny spikes penetrated their bodies and began to grow wildly within them, as if they were about to occupy their entire internal organs in the next moment.
Ordinary ninjas would completely lose their ability to resist at this moment. Thanks to the fact that they were all Jonin whose bodies had been completely wood-transformed, they were still able to struggle at this time.
Whether it was kunai or short swords... Using these to cut off the thorns connected to the thorny tree, the Konoha ninjas pulled themselves out, away from the masked man in the center, their faces filled with unavoidable fear.
They were not only afraid of the power of this move, but also surprised that the opponent could use the First Hokage's bloodline limit.
On the other side, Obito was even more surprised than them. The last time he used this move, he wiped out only fifty Kirigakure Anbu. This time, however, he gained very little. Apart from the ninjas whose bodies were weak or could not solve the thorns and were unable to break free for a while, he did not cause much damage.
Glancing at these elites from the ninja clans who had obvious holes in their bodies, but were still able to move, Obito felt a little apprehensive for the first time, like Nagato.
"Is this the effect of the so-called body enhancement surgery? Orochimaru, that guy..."
On the night of the Nine Tails attack, he was one step away from taking down the Fourth Hokage and taking a Rasengan head-on, but even so, it was still nothing to him, and he could easily withdraw.
Now, Obito saw his shadow at that time on these Konoha ninjas.
If Konoha's ninjas all turned into this kind of physique, there would be a chance to completely conquer the ninja world.
"No wonder Nagato wants to recruit those researchers and fiddle back and forth in the Akatsuki organization."
Obito glanced at the Konoha ninjas who were surrounding him again, and suddenly had a headache.
Based on his past experience, he bragged to Zetsu and thought he could easily achieve his goal, but now it seemed like he would have to spend more effort.
…
Boom boom boom…
In a clearing in the forest, loud sounds were heard one after another.
A monster named 'Satori' soared in the sky, and after seeing an opening, it swooped down to attack like an eagle.
It was clear that both the number of people and the strength of Konoha were superior, but it was held back by it and could not exert its full strength. It was even a risk to be seriously injured or killed if one was careless.
"We can't continue like this. We have to seal it as soon as possible."
Kakashi's gaze turned from the monster in the sky to the two bloodline limit puppets who were fighting Shisui over there, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "Shisui's Susanoo is almost out of time."
Kakashi was no stranger to Shikotsumyaku as a bloodline limit of Kirigakure, but he had never seen such a powerful one.
The sharp bone blades could easily pierce even Susanoo, and there was even an unknown toxin on them that could continuously destroy bodies that had undergone 'body enhancement surgery'.
Originally, Sasori The Red Sand only showed the strength of a Shadow level by relying on the number of puppets, and could be said to be the easiest Akatsuki organization member to deal with. But with this perverted Shikotsumyaku puppet, even if he only fought with it, his strength would be very terrifying.
"What should I do?"
Kakashi thought seriously.
However, at this moment, a green figure emerged from the ground. The two huge Venus flytrap leaves opened, and Zetsu said,
"Kakuzu, Sasori... Pain's Six Paths were defeated by Orochimaru. Currently, 'Madara' is buying time for you. Please retreat as soon as possible."
As soon as these words came out, both the Konoha and Kusagakure Ninja sides showed surprise.
The former had just witnessed the power of 'Super-Godly Push'. If it wasn't for the mental will that had been built up for decades, they would have lost their fighting spirit like Amegakure after their leader was killed. The latter knew Nagato's strength very well and believed that even the 'God of Ninja' was probably nothing more than this.
It was really unexpected that such a character would be defeated by Orochimaru.
"Pain is really disappointing. In that case, I might as well be the leader of this Akatsuki organization and make them all into puppets."
Inside Hiruko, Sasori sneered, "Since that masked man can buy time, then I will take this opportunity to kill them all."
This corpse who died because of a bloodline disease and was made into a puppet by him gave Sasori great confidence. After persisting until the Susanoo was released, he really had the chance to kill the Konoha ninjas.
"You're really full of confidence." Zetsu glanced at the Shikotsumyaku puppet and said in a low voice, "However, that's also understandable."
Throughout the millennia, he had also paid attention to the Kaguya clan. That so-called Shikotsumyaku was more like a flawed Kekkei Mora—All-Killing Ash Bones.
This move could decompose all matter, so the more the Kaguya clan developed their bloodline limit, the more severe their symptoms would become. The effect was so powerful that even they, who possessed a certain degree of resistance, could not withstand it.
Only ordinary people in the Kaguya clan could live long lives, but in this ninja world, would they give the weak a chance to survive?
Whether strong or weak, this clan could not survive for too long and was almost a cursed family.
But this physique, when combined with Sasori's human puppet, had a surprisingly good effect.
If Sasori was given enough time, perhaps he could really exhaust these Konoha ninjas to death here.
However, Zetsu had witnessed Obito's battle with the Third and others through his clone and knew that although this guy could delay, he didn't have as much time as he thought.
