Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Is there any chance he can escape unscathed now?

The hope is slim.

His abilities have been figured out by the other party, while Naruto and Sasuke's abilities have not yet been fully tested by him.

Mystery represents the unknown, and the unknown represents uncertainty.

Never mind, what's done is done. Just do your best and leave no regrets.

Anything beyond one's capabilities is beyond the reach of any other thought; there's no point in trying to understand it further.

As he pondered, Obito reminisced about his time in Konoha, recalling his habit of sparring with Kakashi, where he would also use one hand to form the opposing hand seals.

This was something that ninjas in the era of the Hidden Village were used to.

The seals of opposition were completed. After a brief silence, both sides suddenly moved simultaneously, rushing towards each other at full speed and with all their might.

In an instant, they collided.

It is the most basic and demanding taijutsu for ninjas, and there are no shortcuts to mastering it.

Kakashi has been in the Anbu for many years, has experienced countless battles, and possesses a wealth of practical experience, making him an outstanding individual.

Coupled with his exceptionally high intelligence, his fighting prowess is like adding wings to a tiger, making him virtually flawless.

Unless you overwhelmingly surpass Kakashi in strength and suppress him with absolute power, you can at best fight Kakashi to a draw, and it will be very difficult to defeat him.

Obito's more than ten years of wandering and adventure in the ninja world, replacing Madara as the mastermind behind the scenes, were not in vain; his combat experience was also unparalleled.

It's hard to find anything wrong with it.

Obito, in poor condition, fell from the Six Paths level to the Kage level.

With Naruto's chakra support, Kakashi's overall three-dimensional attributes were greatly enhanced, making him comparable to a Kage.

When the two clashed, they were evenly matched, neither gaining any advantage.

In terms of pure physical strength, Obito was no match for Kakashi at this time, but his newly awakened Rinnegan eye technique, which could distort all things, erased that gap.

Naruto took a leaf from somewhere, put it in his mouth, and sucked out the sap.

He carries with him some medicinal herb seeds, the kind that are very nourishing to the body, and in his spare time, he uses Wood Release chakra to catalyze their growth.

Then absorb the medicinal power to nourish the body and kidneys.

As the saying goes, there are no lands that can be over-plowed, only oxen that die from exhaustion. If you want to plan for the long term, it's better to start taking care of your health early.

"After killing Obito, how do we tame and use the remaining Ten-Tails?" Naruto asked Kaguya.

“Having already consumed a portion of your cells and become a divine tree, it will take root on the spot, absorb energy, and prepare for the fruition,” Kaguya said.

"Just like human growth, there are different stages and changes from childhood to adulthood."

"From the Ten-Tails to the Divine Tree, and from the Divine Tree to successfully bearing the Chakra Fruit, this is the path that every Ten-Tails will instinctively take."

"You don't need to do much. Just find a suitable planet, plant it, and leave the rest to time to ferment."

"Of course, we also need to prevent the fruit from being picked by others. We can't go anywhere; we have to stay at the planting site of the sacred tree and wait patiently."

"The goal of the Otsutsuki clan is to keep planting trees and eventually become the Otsutsuki God," Naruto said.

"How many powerful individuals were there in the Otsutsuki clan before you came to Earth?"

"You even know this!" Kaguya exclaimed in surprise.

"The Otsutsuki operate in pairs and do not live in groups."

"Unless there are special circumstances, it is rare for more than two Otsutsuki to act together."

"I was like this a thousand years ago, but I don't know if I'm still like this today."

Naruto suddenly realized.

That's alright. As long as they don't all come in a huge swarm, but rather in small groups, relying on ganging up on each other, the difficulty of protecting the Earth won't be too high.

As for the Ten-Tails God Tree that he is about to obtain from Obito, Naruto plans to find a planet not far from Earth and plant it there.

At the same time, don't forget that he himself is the divine tree, and he also needs to find energy to absorb.

If you don't want to stagnate and remain at this stage, then you must rack your brains to move forward.

Chapter 280 Sasuke: Me Too!

What kind of battles are the most visually appealing and enjoyable to watch?

The answer is naturally a battle where both sides are evenly matched and their strengths are roughly equal.

If one side is significantly stronger than the other, it cannot be called a battle; it is simply bullying the weak, requiring no skill.

When both sides are evenly matched, to win, one must utilize every available factor.

For example, ninja tools, items, terrain, and environment; and also ways to restrict, interfere with, influence, or seal the opponent's vision and hearing.

Naruto, who doesn't have much practical combat experience and whose fighting relies entirely on the cells in his body, said he learned something.

The battle between Kakashi and Obito involved many subtle details and on-the-spot adjustments, which gave Kakashi a sudden insight and made him realize that there were other ways to do things.

With a soft "whoosh," Kakashi's Lightning Blade, enhanced by Naruto's chakra, became several times more powerful, easily piercing through Obito's chakra cloak.

It pierced his heart.

At the same time, Obito's chakra rod pierced through Kakashi's body.

"Why at the very end..." Kakashi said in a low voice, "to deflect the vital points?"

"That's because I want to live," Obito said in a low, hoarse voice.

“If you die, you lose everything, but as long as you live, there is still hope. No matter what, I will achieve my goal.”

"Sasuke!" Naruto quickly called out, sensing something was wrong.

Sasuke, who was always ready, used Amenotejikara to swap Obito and the air in front of him.

Obito was about to take the Ten-Tails God Tree and possess Kakashi, sharing the same body and life with Kakashi, in order to ensure his survival and avoid being killed by Naruto.

In a flash, Sasuke appeared right in front of me.

Then, the sound of something cutting through the air rang in his ears, and his condition plummeted. He had little time to react before Naruto grabbed him by the neck and pinned him to the ground upside down.

Obito refused to give up and tried to struggle and resist.

Naruto didn't give him a chance.

Chakra chains.

Immortal arts, the Bright God Gate.

The Reincarnation Eye Technique, using gravity compression, was applied to Obito.

After a barrage of methods, Obito was completely rendered motionless. He wasn't dead yet, but he had difficulty moving and couldn't even twitch a finger.

"Damn it!" Obito panicked, but it was all in vain.

"Kakashi-sensei, are you alright?" Naruto asked.

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his wound. Thanks to Naruto's chakra repair and regeneration, the wound was so healed that even the scar was no longer visible, and it was completely restored: "It's okay, I'm fine."

"Finally caught him!" Jiraiya exclaimed.

He came out with Naruto partly because Tsunade entrusted him with this task, and partly because he genuinely wanted to meet girls from another world.

There is a significant gap between imagination and reality; I haven't seen a single one of the otherworldly beauties I long for.

Fortunately, the biggest target, Obito Uchiha, was successfully captured, and we can go back and report.

"What are you doing?" Kushina couldn't help but ask when she saw Naruto squatting next to Obito, placing his hands on Obito's body, closing his eyes, and remaining motionless for a long time.

Seeing that Naruto was transferring the monster inside Obito's body, Sasuke's eyes flickered slightly, and he quietly activated the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan eye technique, Time Stop.

"Huh?" Naruto opened his eyes as his hand landed on empty air. Obito, who had been standing in front of him, had vanished without a trace.

“I want this too.” Sasuke said, carrying the unconscious Obito in one hand.

Having heard the Sage of Six Paths recount stories from long ago, Sasuke naturally knew the source of chakra: the Ten-Tails, also known as the Divine Tree.

Nowadays, all the bloodline limits in the ninja world, when traced back to their origins, are derived from the Ten-Tails.

With the help of the Sage of Six Paths, he broke through to the Six Paths level. There was no longer a path ahead for him to take.

The Ten-Tails gave Sasuke a glimmer of hope; perhaps he could borrow its power to elevate his strength to another level.

“Since you mentioned it, you should know that it’s something I’m also pursuing,” Naruto said.

“If conditions allow, we’ll divide it equally. If not, and it’s only enough for one person, then…” Sasuke glanced at Obito.

The Rinnegan allowed him to see the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree deeper within: "Whoever has it, it belongs to them."

"We made an appointment more than half a year ago to have a fair fight, but this matter has delayed it."

"How about deciding who gets it by winning or losing?"

Naruto pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright, but to prevent him from having any loopholes to exploit, we need to separate them first."

Sasuke nodded.

After that, with Naruto and Sasuke working together, the process went very smoothly.

Obito and the Ten-Tails God Tree successfully separated into two independent entities.

Immediately, in order to find the reanimated Madara, Naruto used genjutsu to control Obito, wanting to sense Madara's location as Obito, the user of the reanimated Madara.

It didn't go as planned.

It was as if the blemishes didn't exist at all.

“Madara knows how to undo the Impure World Reincarnation. Even if Obito’s side undoes the Impure World Reincarnation, Madara can continue to exist on his own,” Naruto thought to himself.

Spots don't just disappear for no reason.

So the question is, where can such a living dead person go?

You have to understand, that alternate dimension has been searched almost everywhere, even Obito was found, so there's no reason why Madara, as an Edo Tensei user, could evade their senses.

Unable to figure out the problem at the moment, Naruto shook his head to suppress his many thoughts, and infused Obito with some life force to keep him alive.

Then it was handed over to Jiraiya.
