The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 429 A battle of wits and courage
The 10-strong ninja coalition army gathered at the border of the Rain Country with great momentum, like a black torrent.

The sunlight shines on their resolute faces, reflecting their determination to face death.

The Raikage, a burly ninja with a powerful aura, shoulders the heavy responsibility of being the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

"set off!"

At the command of the Raikage, 10 ninjas brazenly stepped into the territory of the Rain Country, aiming directly at the Hidden Rain Village.

The five Kage, as the core force of the ninja coalition, sit in the center of the team. Their presence is like a stabilizing force, instilling extremely strong confidence into the coalition.

However, when the coalition forces were approaching the Hidden Rain Village.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Deafening explosions rang out one after another, like muffled thunder exploding in the ears.

"It's a trap!" Unfortunately, the vanguard troops stepped into the trap carefully set by the enemy. For a moment, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and screams were heard.

"Earth Escape, Earth-Splitting Palm!"

Seeing this, Huang Tu shouted loudly, then jumped high and punched the ground hard.

In an instant, the earth was torn apart, and the land in front quickly cracked, forming gullies, successfully destroying some of the traps.

But before the coalition forces could breathe a sigh of relief, a white mass suddenly appeared in the sky and fell like snowflakes.

If you look closely, you will see that they are spiders made of clay.

After these spiders landed on the ground, they quickly crawled towards the ninja coalition forces.

"Art is explosion! Drink!!"

With a wild cry, Deidara rode on the C2 dragon.

He kept throwing clay bombs at the ground with his hands, a crazy smile on his face.

"boom!!"

Bombs exploded one after another, flames shot up into the sky, and powerful air waves swept over. Countless ninjas were hit instantly, and screams were heard everywhere.

"Ha~ha~, witness my art!" Deidara laughed wildly, enjoying the "art feast" brought by the explosion.

"Thunder escape lightning needle!"

A team of lightning ninjas reacted quickly.

They formed seals with their hands, and bolts of lightning shot out like needles, intercepting the bombs in mid-air.

Under the influence of thunder and lightning, the bomb became a dud in mid-air and lost its lethality.

"Tsk~" Deidara clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction upon seeing this.

Obviously, the leak of intelligence greatly reduced the power of his bombs, and they were no longer as effective as before.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Just as everyone was dealing with Deidara, countless poisonous needles suddenly shot out from the dense forest and flew towards the ninja coalition like raindrops.

"It's a scorpion!" someone shouted.

Scorpion hid in the dark, controlling the mechanism to launch an attack. The iron spikes ruthlessly pierced the bodies of many ninjas, and blood splattered.

Not only Scorpion, but other members of Akatsuki also took action.

Under their joint attack, the vanguard of the ninja coalition suffered heavy casualties, and the situation became extremely serious in an instant.

"Bastard!" Upon seeing this, the Raikage angrily punched the desk beside him, smashing the sturdy desk to pieces in an instant.

"The Second Regiment presses forward!"

His orders were quickly transmitted through the sensory ninjas.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of ninjas took quick action and rushed forward, trying to reverse the situation.

The Akatsuki organization was not willing to be outdone.

One after another, strange white creatures appeared.

This is the 10 White Zetsu army. They have no emotions and cannot feel pain. Like the most fearless death squad, they rush madly towards the ninja coalition.

The ninja coalition was suppressed by the attack of the White Zetsu army, and the pace of advancement became extremely difficult.

"The most urgent task is to eliminate the masters of the Akatsuki organization and clip their wings before Pain takes action."

Tsunade suggested solemnly. "I'll leave Deidara to me." Ōnoki slowly floated into the air, his eyes determined.

Deidara was once his apprentice.

He decided to take action himself and clean up the mess.

Ebizo also stood up, his eyes piercing: "Leave Scorpion to me."

Each ninja village has set its sights on its own rebel ninja.

Soon, Sasori, Deidara, Kisame and others were caught in a tough battle.

In the Hidden Rain Village, the civilians had already received the news and fled, and the whole village was dead silent.

Uchiha Obito had a stern expression on his face as he strode towards the tower where Pain was, followed by a group of people.

These people are none other than the Shadows of the Five Great Ninja Villages who were reincarnated through the Impure World Reincarnation—the Second Mizukage, the Third Raikage, the Fourth Kazekage, and the Second Tsuchikage.

They are completely under the control of Kabuto Yakushi.

On this trip, Obito has only one goal - to take back the Rinnegan and clear the obstacles for his plan.

With the help of Kabuto Yakushi, Uchiha Obito felt that he had a chance of winning.

When he stepped into the tower, he was extremely cautious with every step, alert to any possible dangers around him.
However, when he went deeper into the tower, he found that it was empty and eerily quiet.

[What's going on?] Obito was full of confusion. This abnormal silence made his nerves even more tense.

He couldn't help but guess.

【Did he go to the front line?】

But even so, it is not possible that the entire tower is defenseless.

With a heart full of suspicion, he carefully walked all the way to the top floor.

However, there was no sign of Payne on the top floor either. Only the table in the middle of the floor was covered with a bright red cloth, which stood out in this empty room.

Obito's heart was filled with alarm. He slowly walked towards the table and reached out to carefully untie the red cloth.

What caught the eye was a transparent test tube. In the test tube, two Rinnegan were floating quietly, emitting a mysterious and strange light.

"It's a trap!" This was Obito's first reaction.

He used the body-flickering technique without hesitation, instantly creating distance like a ghost. At the same time, he quickly took out a kunai and threw it at the table, trying to test whether there was any mechanism triggered.

The kunai hit the table accurately, but did not cause any movement.

Obito did not let his guard down. He used various exploration methods to search the small space thoroughly.

Battle of wits and courage with the air

"Is this guy a clown?"

The second generation Mizukage couldn't help but complain.

The Third Raikage snorted coldly.

Although their bodies are controlled by Kabuto Yakushi, their wills are still free.

They hate Kabuto Yakushi and Obito for reincarnating them from the Pure Land and controlling them.

After busying around for a while, I didn't find anything unusual.

Obito hesitated for a long time, but finally picked up the test tube.

He felt it carefully and confirmed that it was true.

The Rinnegan was obtained so easily.

However, he did not feel the slightest bit of joy, because things were so strange.

Where did Nagato and Konan go?
Why was the Rinnegan placed here so easily, as if waiting for him to take it?

Too many questions were swirling in Obito's mind, and he had a vague feeling that there seemed to be an invisible hand controlling everything in secret.

Unfortunately, Obito's brain was not very sharp, and faced with such a complicated situation, he was unable to make sense of it for a while.

Moreover, the battle between the ninja coalition and the Akatsuki organization outside has reached a fever pitch, and the coalition forces are about to attack. The urgent situation does not allow him any chance to think.

"No matter who the enemy is, with the Rinnegan in hand, no one can be my opponent!"

Obito gritted his teeth, forced himself to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and tightly grasped the test tube containing the Rinnegan.
