Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 318 I said ceasefire and it's ceasefire (Fourth update)
The Rain-Hidden Tower appears and disappears amidst the dark clouds, with rainwater flowing down the obsidian walls in fine silver threads.

Pain, the Deva Path, hovered in the center of the circular conference hall, his Rinnegan sweeping over everyone present.

“The resurrection cycle of the Tailed Beasts is at least three years.” Pain’s voice carried an extremely strong sense of oppression, and the oil lamps hanging in the dome flickered. “Effective immediately, the Tailed Beast capture plan is suspended.”

“There are more important things to do.” Obito suddenly spoke, his Sharingan beneath the mask turning to Pain. “Instead of doing nothing and waiting for the tailed beasts to be reborn, we should bring that person back first.”

Konan frowned: "Are you crazy? That Uchiha Madara guy, he'll bring us trouble."

“It will bring true peace.” Pain raised his hand to stop Konan from speaking. Thunder roared outside the window, and lightning illuminated the menacing shadows of the six black rods on his face. “But before that, it would be best to capture the tailed beasts that can be easily caught, and find the Four-Tails Jinchuriki!”

"Old Purple trains in the lava cave of the Land of Earth, but he's part of Onoki's army."

"Kisame, Itachi, keep watch, don't engage in combat."

Kisame nodded, "Pressure, Massey~"

As everyone dispersed, Konan watched Pain's retreating figure, shook her head, and walked towards the secret passage.

Not long after, she arrived in front of the emaciated Nagato.

"Nagato, do you remember what that Uchiha Yu said?"

Nagato gasped for breath, a murderous glint in his eyes. "You can only listen to what he says, but you can't believe it."

Konan shook her head. "I think much of what he said is true. In short, Madara absolutely cannot be resurrected!"

Nagato looked at Konan, "Damn it! We really need a top-notch combatant right now. That Jigen is definitely up to no good. There's no way we have any real combat ability in the organization. Obito has already fooled us."

Nagato frowned. "Of the remaining people, Kisame is the only one I can trust."

Now that things have come to this, Nagato has finally figured out what's going on.

Since Uchiha Uchiha suddenly appeared, the entire Akatsuki organization has been repeatedly tricked by him.

Kakuzu is missing, Deidara is offline, Hidan is captured and experimented on, and Sasori is reduced to a pile of broken parts.

Now that two of the Tailed Beasts are dead, who knows how much worse things will get next.

Therefore, for Nagato, possessing a formidable fighting force is an urgent matter.

Even if that person is Uchiha Madara.
On the battlefield where the smoke of battle had not yet cleared, Tsunade stood atop a rock, her wet blonde hair clinging to her cheeks, looking down at the cratered abyss below.
That place was once a deep crater created by Uchiha U, now filled with rainwater, reflecting the fragmented clouds.

"Sunagakure has agreed to station troops there," Nara Shikaku's voice came from behind, "but Sunagakure has set conditions."

"Trade Shukaku's remains for 30% of the Land of Wind's mineral veins?" Tsunade sneered. "Tell the Sunagakure envoy that their Kazekage has been captured by us. What right do they have to negotiate?! Either accept our terms, or wait to see Konoha take over their village!"

"Yes."

On the cracked wasteland, dark clouds loomed overhead, and lightning snaked through the clouds.

The allied forces of Iwagakure and Kumogakure faced each other across a thousand-meter-wide rift valley, and the weathered rock pillars were shattered by the aftershocks of the lightning release.

Onoki floated before the Iwagakure formation, the white light of Dust Release flowing in his palm, illuminating his wrinkled face. Ai, his body wreathed in bluish-white lightning, the ground beneath his feet cracking in a spiderweb pattern, transformed into lightning and charged straight at Onoki, his right elbow slamming into the opponent's face with immense force, the lightning turning the old man's white hair a ghastly white.

"Heavy Torrent - Thunderous Blade!"

Onoki clenched his fists, and a cube-shaped barrier instantly enveloped Ai's right arm.

Even the stubborn Ai knew that if he rushed forward at this moment, he would definitely lose his arm. He snorted coldly, forcibly twisted his body, and instantly fled to a distance.

Killer Bee swung a pencil from a kilometer away and threw it at Onoki's head, shouting, "Thunder Pen!"

Onoki roared, and the Dust Release barrier suddenly expanded to three cubic meters, "Limit Decapitation!"

"Use that! Use that one!" Raikage suddenly shouted.

Killer Bee nodded, "Yoshi!"

The two of them were prepared to trade injuries for one, so that they could give Onoki a special move!
Just as Raikage A and Killer Bee unleashed their combined Lightning Blade Technique, the air itself ignited from the terrifying power, emitting a sizzling sound.

The lightning bolt, like a roaring beast, surged toward Onoki with a destructive force.

Onoki's expression was solemn, and the white light from his Dust Release technique between his hands grew increasingly dazzling, almost illuminating the entire battlefield.

Just then, a dark figure appeared beside Killer Bee! Killer Bee caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and was about to make a move, but when he saw that the person was Uchiha U, he was stunned for a moment.

Uchiha U's eyes widened, his chakra surging wildly as he uttered a low shout: "Divine Protection Barrier!"

In an instant, a transparent, faintly glowing dome rapidly unfolded around him, enveloping him and Onoki!
The violent impact of the Thunderous Blade slammed into the barrier with a deafening roar. The transparent barrier shook violently but managed to withstand the blow!
At the same time, Onoki finished his hand seals.

He thrust his hands out forcefully, and the Dust Release barrier transformed into a sharp white light, shooting towards Raikage A and Killer Bee!

Seeing this, Uchiha Yu didn't have time to think. He tensed his arm muscles, grabbed the arms of the Raikage and Killer Bee with both hands, and then swung them away, sending the two tall figures flying into the distance!

After completing all this, Uchiha Yu silently recited the Flying Thunder God Technique, and with a flash of golden light, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

Almost at the same moment, the Dust Release attack missed and exploded in the distance, stirring up clouds of dust and debris. All objects in the Dust Release, even microorganisms, were broken down into atomic states!
The ultimate attack missed!

Ōnoki stared at the sudden turn of events for a while before finally reacting. Enraged, his beard trembled, and he pointed in the direction Uchiha Yu had disappeared, cursing, "Isn't Konoha at war with Sunagakure? What are they doing here! What the hell does this bastard want?!"

Just as Onoki finished venting his anger, Raikage A and Killer Bee ran back. Onoki pointed at the Raikage and yelled, "You called Konoha for help?! Coward!"

When has the Raikage ever been called a coward? He immediately launched another attack on Onoki, unleashing "Lightning Smash: Horizontal Dance of Chiyo!"

Onoki, not to be outdone, shouted: "Dust Release: Split World Detachment Technique!"

Just as the two sides were about to clash, the sky and earth suddenly changed color! A giant wooden Buddha appeared on the battlefield!

Uchiha Yu looked down at the ants on the ground, his voice not loud but clear enough to be heard.

"You two shake hands and make peace now. If anyone wants to continue fighting, then I, the Great Buddha, will slap you on the head."
