Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 318 Nohara Rin: Answer me, Obito! (Three-in-one)

Blood stained the sea red, and Killer Bee floated on the surface, staring blankly at the sky.

His chest was shattered by a direct punch from the Fifth Hokage, and the Eight-Tails was forcibly extracted, causing his life to slip away at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.

Or rather, the fact that he's still alive is nothing short of a miracle.

However, given his current state, even if he's not dead yet, he's not far off.

Wave after wave propelled Killer Bee toward the shore, and before it knew it, Killer Bee was washed ashore.

"How pathetic..."

A familiar voice made Killer Bee barely open his eyes. Killer Bee recognized the voice; the person was both Killer Bee's subordinate and his teacher.

"Earth...earth platform..."

"Quick... let's go, we've lost."

“Tell…tell Darui that he is the Sixth Raikage…”

Killer Bee used his last strength to open his mouth and call out to that person.

Following Madara Uchiha's resurrection using Edo Tensei, Hashirama Senju also took to the stage, creating a scene reminiscent of one person finishing their act only to be replaced by another.

But regardless of the situation, one thing is certain: the coalition forces have no hope of winning.

Neither Madara Uchiha nor Hashirama Senju were on the same side as the Allied Forces.

Regardless of whether it's the witch, the demon, or the god of ninjas, whoever wins in the end, the loser will still have a place in the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Even if Hashirama Senju wins, so what?
Almost all the top fighters of the allied forces on the battlefield of the Land of Rain have died, and as for the battlefield of the Land of Frost, he, the Raikage, is already nearing his end.

Even if Hashirama Senju defeated the Fifth Hokage and Madara Uchiha, the ninja world would still be ruled by Konoha for at least several decades or even hundreds of years.

At this moment, Killer Bee only wanted his teacher, whom he could entrust everything to, to lead the Hidden Cloud Village step by step.

Black Zetsu calmly looked at the man before him, a mocking smile playing on his lips. His face slowly changed under Killer Bee's incredulous gaze, eventually transforming into a half-black, half-white figure.

Killer Bee's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing this.

"Unfortunately, the earthen platform you're familiar with doesn't exist at all."

"You should feel honored to be able to contribute your share of strength to me."

"Compare."

Killer Bee stared at Black Zetsu before him, his mind reeling, and a mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth.

"Where...where...where is the earthen platform...?"

Killer Bee tried to get up, but his injuries were too severe, and he struggled on the sand like a dead fish.

He knew Zetsu; three years ago, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Tsuchikage specifically instructed him to kill this guy if he had the chance.

"The earthen mound... has probably turned into a handful of yellow earth by now."

Black Zetsu looked at the man in front of him with a mocking gaze.

"I...I'll kill you..."

Killer Bee's blood seeped into the sand beneath him. He tried to get up, but he couldn't.

Are you going to kill me, your teacher?

"Compare."

During these three years, even though the two did not have the title of master and disciple, they had the reality of being master and disciple.

In order to use Kumogakure against Konoha, Black Zetsu was indeed sparing no effort in guiding Killer Bee on how to become a leader.

"you……"

Killer Bee struggled, but somehow a wooden splinter appeared in Black Zetsu's hand, and he walked towards Killer Bee.

Goodbye, Bi.

"To die at the hands of your 'teacher' is a blessing in itself..."

As Black Zetsu drew ever closer, Killer Bee felt nothing but absurdity—the absurdity of this ninja world.

What a ridiculous world. You kill me, I kill you, then my descendants kill your descendants, and your descendants kill my descendants.

But in the end, he fell into someone else's trap...

This world is gone forever...

-

"Naruto, can you do it?"

Sasuke and Naruto stood side by side, watching the man in front of them warily, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

Even with his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke still lacks the confidence to defeat this man.

Even with Naruto's help.

Naruto gently touched his abdomen and nodded heavily, saying:
"no problem!"

The moment Sakura was forcibly removed from the scene and the Two-Tails' chakra disappeared, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) took the initiative to contact him.

Compared to Madara Uchiha, who forcibly controlled him, and Hashirama Senju, who sealed him within a Jinchuriki, Sakura, though not particularly fond of Kurama, clearly sees who Kurama is willing to help, compared to Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Now that Sakura, their strongest fighter, has been eliminated, if Kurama (the Nine-Tails) doesn't do something, his fate will probably be no different from that of the One-Tail and Three-Tail.

Obito Uchiha was still collecting tailed beasts, and combined with the opponent's Rinnegan, his purpose for Kurama was self-evident.

What terrified Kurama even more was that Madara Uchiha also had a pair of Rinnegan eyes in his eye sockets.

Although the other party was an impure body, this did not prevent Kurama from judging who the true owner of those Rinnegan was.

Uchiha Madara.

This was all part of Madara Uchiha's conspiracy.

The other party wants to collect the tailed beasts, create the Ten-Tails, and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

This is something that Kurama (the Nine-Tails) could never accept.

"First Hokage, I think there's some misunderstanding between us."

Naruto slowly spoke, following the words of the Nine-Tails within him.

Clearly, Kurama not only wanted to get rid of his opposition to Hashirama Senju, but also tried to bring Hashirama Senju into his own camp and destroy Madara Uchiha's plans.

At this moment, because of Hashirama Senju's presence, Madara Uchiha did not focus his attention on Naruto, who possessed the Yang Nine-Tails, but instead chose Minato Namikaze, who had the Yin Nine-Tails imprisoned within his body.

"Misunderstand?"

"Before that, can you tell me what your status is in Konoha?"

Instead of listening to what the other party had to say, Hashirama Senju asked about Naruto and Sasuke's identities.

"identity?"

“I am the son of the Fourth Hokage, and he is from the Uchiha clan.”

Naruto scratched his head, somewhat confused as to why the other person would say that.

"No, I mean, what positions do you hold in Konoha?"

Hashirama Senju shook his head.

"Location?"

"Does that count as Sasuke and I being Sakura's bodyguards?"

As soon as Naruto said this, the Nine-Tails inside him cursed him as an idiot.

"The Shadow Guard?"

"Of course it counts."

Hashirama Senju nodded, looking at his two juniors with a regretful expression.

"What do you want to say?"

Hashirama Senju opened his mouth.

"This was all Madara Uchiha's conspiracy!"

"He wants to collect the tailed beasts and become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki!"

Naruto spoke without hesitation.

"and then?"

Hashirama Senju countered with a question.

"Um, and then..."

Naruto opened his mouth, somewhat bewildered, but immediately spoke:
"A person like Madara Uchiha must have some kind of evil plan that no one knows about, and he might even destroy the world."

However, Hashirama Senju looked at Naruto as if he were an idiot.

Anyone could have the idea of ​​destroying the world, but Madara Uchiha was the only one who could not.

As Madara Uchiha's lifelong rival and best friend, Hashirama Senju knew that Madara loved the world more than anyone else.

"Never mind, I'm going to find Godai now."

"Please, both of you, don't stop me."

Hashirama Senju was no longer willing to listen to Naruto's nonsense.

All he wants now is to find the severely injured Sakura, seal her away while she's still badly hurt, and then teach this junior a lesson to correct her mistakes.

If it's truly impossible to get them back on track, then there's nothing we can do but...

Naruto stared blankly at Hashirama Senju before him. Possessing the Nine-Tails' ability to sense good and evil, he clearly sensed the other's killing intent.

That murderous intent wasn't directed at him or Sasuke.

Instead... it's Sakura.

"Nine Lamas, get ready to make your move."

Naruto suddenly calmed down.

"Tch, I never knew you could be such a smooth talker, yet you always mess up at the crucial moment."

"But forget it."

"Because this is our first time in this state, it won't last long."

"Just consider this time as five minutes."

"But our opponent is this man known as the God of Ninjas. Let alone five minutes, even if we could hold out for fifty minutes, it wouldn't be enough for him to beat us."

"So we need the help of this Uchiha brat next to us."

"Put his Susanoo on us."

"And the most important point is..."

Even so, we are only qualified to fight against them.

Kurama stared intently at the resolute-faced man in front of him through Naruto's gaze.

"Is that right?"

"Sakura is really amazing."

Naruto seemed oblivious to Kurama's fear of the man before him, instead praising the girl who single-handedly and overwhelmingly suppressed Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

"whispering sound……"

"get ready!"

Nine-Tailed Fox snorted coldly.

At this moment, with the combined efforts of Kurama and Naruto, the last barrier between them has been completely broken down!

A mutual understanding and sincerity!

"Nine Lamas! Ikuso!"

"Ok!"

A massive and powerful burst of chakra erupted from Naruto's lower body!
Golden chakra burned fiercely on Naruto's body like a giant bonfire!

The unparalleled chakra condensed into a form that seemed almost tangible. The yellowish-brown tracksuit transformed into a trench coat entirely formed of chakra, covered with various mysterious black runes!
Those deep blue eyes transformed into a pair of crimson vertical pupils at that moment!
Nine-Lama Link!
"Can someone really connect with the Nine-Tails on a deep emotional level?"

"This child..."

Hashirama Senju looked at Naruto not far ahead and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This young man was far more capable than his wife. His wife, Mito Uzumaki, could only achieve the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode at best, but she could never reach that level with the Nine-Tails.

"Sasuke!"

Naruto raised his fist.

"Naruto."

Without hesitation, the black-haired boy also extended his fist and collided with Naruto's!
In an instant, the chakra of both sides underwent an unimaginable change!
Sasuke immediately learned of Kurama's plan through Naruto's chakra, and a smile appeared on his face.

The fiery white Susanoo rose from the ground, and the strongest tailed beast now displayed its power!
Two colossal figures, each over a hundred meters tall, appeared simultaneously in this world!
Golden and white chakra merged and converged before Hashirama Senju, eventually transforming into a towering knight clad in heavy white armor and wielding a giant spear!
The Mighty Susanoo: The Tribulations of the Beast!

Its terrifying chakra raged across the heavens and earth, like a god descending to earth!
The Nine-Tails, clad in Susanoo, stirred up waves hundreds of meters high with a mere flick of its spear!

"The same technique as Madara used back then?"

"The younger generation these days is truly remarkable."

As Hashirama Senju looked at the enormous creature before him, he praised it aloud but sighed inwardly.

If you want to find the Fifth Generation, you must defeat the junior in front of you.

As the First Hokage of Konoha, this saddened him.

Because of their differing ideologies, he was forced to stand on the opposite side of these younger generations.

However, if you think that would make Hashirama Senju back down, then he wouldn't be revered as the God of Shinobi!

He clasped his hands together, the immortal markings reappeared on his face, and roared:
"Immortal Technique·Wood Release·True Thousands of Hands!"

Because the sacrifice for the resurrected Hashirama Senju was the giant serpent from Ryuchi Cave, and that serpent was injected with a considerable number of Hashirama's cells, Hashirama Senju's strength was closer to that of his former self, which allowed him to barely use the Wood Release technique that he could only use during his prime!
At that moment, an enormous, unimaginably colossal creature rose from the ground!

That is the Buddha, that is the Bodhisattva!

A compassionate bodhisattva appeared on the sea, and Naruto and Sasuke's difficulties were like toys in front of the True Thousand Hands!
The thousands of hands behind the Bodhisattva further prove that the object is not just a simple wooden statue!
God is as powerful as hell!

Buddha saves people from the sea of ​​suffering!

However, even so, this is still not over!

"The Buddha on the top of the head!"

Hashirama Senju roared once more, and his countless hands formed a Buddhist mudra, which then transformed into fists!

Naruto and Sasuke stared at the scene in disbelief.

What's this?!

Could it be that Hashirama Senju didn't use his full strength when he fought Sakura just now?

……

"Hashirama is getting serious now."

Madara Uchiha glanced at the towering True Thousand Hands in the distance and snorted coldly.

"what do you want to do?"

At this moment, Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Itachi Uchiha were in a rather disheveled state.

The three of them were almost pinned to the ground by the Yin-Yang Release black rods, especially Minato Namikaze, who even had two rods stuck in his forehead.

"End the war."

Madara Uchiha calmly looked at Minato Namikaze, who was stuck in the ground.

Considering that Hashirama Senju was also nearby, and Sakura had not yet fully recovered, Madara Uchiha decided to finish the battle quickly, without any intention of playing around.

He immediately created twenty-five wooden clones to attack the three experts in front of him with all his might.

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi and Itachi Uchiha were incredibly powerful, they couldn't possibly defeat twenty-five Susanoo. Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi's Five Elements Great Bullet Technique was destructive enough, it only managed to scatter ten Susanoo.

Madara Uchiha's true form was facing Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique had long been seen through by Madara Uchiha. During the decades he spent fusing Hashirama's cells, he was constantly thinking about how to counter Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique.

I never expected that when I faced the Flying Thunder God Technique again, it wouldn't be Tobirama Senju but Minato Namikaze.

At that moment, a vortex appeared beside Madara Uchiha, and Obito Uchiha's figure emerged from it.

"how's it going?"

Madara Uchiha glanced at Obito Uchiha beside him.

"Success."

Obito Uchiha glanced at Minato Namikaze on the ground, then his Kamui Sharingan twisted, and he threw out an unconscious figure.

That was Yukito who had disappeared earlier!
Long before Naruto and Sasuke stopped Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha exchanged a glance, discussed their next move through genjutsu, and quickly and quietly withdrew from the battlefield.

Obito Uchiha went to capture the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, while Madara Uchiha went to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

With Naruto Uzumaki, one of the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, right under Hashirama Senju's nose, Madara Uchiha couldn't get his hands on him, so he turned his attention to Minato Namikaze.

Now that all nine tailed beasts have gathered, the tenth tailed beast is just around the corner!
"here we go."

Madara Uchiha spoke calmly.

"Ah."

Obito Uchiha responded and immediately began forming hand seals.

"Summoning Technique: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"

At that very moment, the instant the seven-eyed demon statue appeared, Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha both looked into the distance!

A pink torrent of chakra swept across the heavens and earth!
The light, formed entirely of chakra, connected the sky and the sea like a pillar supporting the heavens!
The terrifying chakra within can be clearly sensed even from a great distance!

That is……

The Fifth Hokage!
Even someone with zero sensory perception could roughly guess who possessed this unique pink chakra!

"It's the Hokage!"

Obito Uchiha's expression remained calm, but the flickering light in his eyes clearly revealed an inner conflict that did not match his outward appearance.

"I never expected her to be able to do this much."

"It's too late, we have to do it now."

Madara Uchiha's expression turned serious, and he quickly spoke.

"it is good."

Without hesitation, Obito Uchiha manipulated the Gedo Mazo to extract the Tailed Beasts from Minato Namikaze and Yukito.

The Gedo Mazo now possesses seven tailed beasts, and these so-called tailed beasts are actually a part of the Ten-Tails' chakra.

With Madara Uchiha assisting him, they extracted the Two-Tails from Yukito and the Nine-Tails from Minato Namikaze in the blink of an eye!
"Obito!"

Why have you become like this!?

Minato Namikaze tried to struggle, but to no avail. He could only watch helplessly as the Nine-Tails was extracted from his body!
"Teacher, you deserve some credit for everything I've done."

While controlling the Gedo Mazo, Obito Uchiha glanced at the disheveled Minato Namikaze.

"Aren't you the fastest ninja in the world?"

Why didn't you save Lin back then?

Obito Uchiha's words silenced Minato Namikaze.

At the time, the Third Shinobi World War was underway, and Minato Namikaze, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, was a firefighter on various battlefields in Konoha.

On one side was the fiercely contested battlefield, and on the other side were his own students.

This leaves Minato Namikaze with a difficult choice...

Madara Uchiha glanced at this slightly.

It was he who orchestrated Obito Uchiha's attack, deliberately choosing a time when Minato Namikaze was unavailable, so that the Hidden Mist Village's forces could attack Rin Nohara.

Madara Uchiha naturally wouldn't explain any of this; he simply said:

"Once you become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and unlock the Infinite Tsukuyomi, your Rin will belong to you."

Madara Uchiha's words were somewhat cryptic, seemingly tinged with mockery.

"That's right, I will create a world with Lin."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's lips curled into a slight smile.

He clearly understood what Obito Uchiha meant by those words.

If a world with Rin were created, Orochimaru would be nearby. He could use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to resurrect Rin Nohara, and with the Rinne Rebirth technique of the Rinnegan in Obito Uchiha's eyes, reviving Rin Nohara would be not only easy, but also a piece of cake.

However, Obito Uchiha did not do that.

He knew that Nohara Rin didn't love him at all.

Therefore, what he wanted to create was a world where Nohara Rin loved him.

At this moment, the Gedo Mazo, having gathered all nine tailed beasts, unleashed an unparalleled roar and fury!

"The Ten-Tails... has been revived."

Obito Uchiha felt a sense of relief as he watched this scene.

If the Ten-Tails is resurrected and he becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki again, then he will be able to meet that pure and kind girl once more.

"Obito..."

At that moment, amidst the earth-shattering roar of the ten tailed beasts, a voice rang out.

This left Obito Uchiha stunned and rooted to the spot.

The sound was very faint, almost negligible amidst the roar of the Ten-Tails.

But for Obito Uchiha, it was like a heavy hammer blow to his heart!

He knew that voice all too well; he dreamed about its owner every single day…

"Is it... Obito?"

That voice rang out once again.

He turned his head stiffly and saw the figure that haunted his dreams.

For a moment, he felt a mix of emotions.

Joy, fear, dread, rage, and timidity all surged into his heart.

A petite girl, no more than twelve or thirteen years old with short hair, stood on the distant beach...

"Phew, I missed it..."

Behind the girl stood a person, his face somewhat grim as he looked at the demonic statue that had begun to change.

Before Sakura set off for the battlefield in the Land of Rain, she had Tobirama Senju dig up Rin Nohara's grave and take out a finger bone from it.

There was no other reason than to be prepared in case Obito Uchiha became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki and gave him a hard blow.

Of course, Sakura's own quirky sense of humor also played a part in this.

I just want to see with my own eyes what kind of ugly behavior this ingrate from the Uchiha clan will display when facing his goddess, and whether he can say he will create a world with her in front of Nohara Rin.

However, given the current situation, Sakura probably won't be able to see it.

"Lin..."

Looking at the figure ahead, Obito Uchiha subconsciously took a step back.

"Lin?"

Because of his impure body, Minato Namikaze could not die even after his tailed beast was extracted. He just turned his head in surprise to look at the girl behind him.

"teacher……"

A flicker of indescribable pain flashed in Nohara Rin's eyes.

“Obito… even the Second Hokage told me…”

"So, kill your teacher, kill Kushina, kill the Uchiha clan members who raised you..."

"Did you do all of this, Obito?"

Nohara Rin's eyes were filled with sorrow, so much so that Uchiha Obito dared not meet her gaze.

"answer me!"

"Obito!"

Tell me, you didn't do it!
