I am the most popular character in Naruto!

How do you stop an extremely fast competitor from circling around you?

Very simple.

Let's just tear down his platform and see how he runs away then!

To put it another way, what if you encounter a competitive eating contest and the guy next to you is about to win?

Very simple.

If he flips the table over, then he'll never be able to beat him!

As long as you don't participate, you won't lose!

Most problems can be solved by addressing the root cause of the problem!

"Die!"

With a swift movement of his hands, Chiaki pressed the giant Rasengan in his hand onto the ground.

"Lord Chiaki! Obito!"

Rin was startled, and Kakashi also stared wide-eyed at the enormous Rasengan, feeling as if his entire worldview had been altered.

Damn it.

Minato usually held his Rasengan in his palm, and he never felt that it was very powerful, even less so than his Chidori.

But this time, after Chiaki showed him what a super-sized Rasengan was, he truly understood.

What a crappy Chidori!

Just throw it away and learn the Rasengan!

"Ninjutsu! Super large jade spiral!"

Qianqiu's gaze sharpened, and a massive amount of chakra exploded out, so much so that it was blinding.

Everyone present felt their eyes were blinded by Chiaki's pink chakra.

"Lord Chiaki...!"

Rin struggled to block Chiaki's chakra burst, shouting, "Please don't abandon Obito!"

"Of course I know, Lin."

Chiaki calmly responded to Rin's words, and pink chakra once again emanated from her body. The chakra threads stretched out and were simultaneously flung towards Obito, who was being held back by the pitcher plant.

Boom!

With a bewildered expression on the pitcher plant's face, the entire ground beneath its feet was blasted apart by the Giant Rasengan, and the plant itself sustained some damage, falling to the side.

As the pitcher plant was blown away, Obito also landed on the ground.

The next moment, pink chakra threads stretched to Obito's body and began to heal his wounds.

Ensure his life is safe.

As Chiaki's massive Rasengan exploded, a huge crater, several meters in diameter, appeared on the ground. Pitcher Plant and Obito lay in the crater, looking quite disheveled.

Kakashi swallowed hard again and silently picked up the Chidori he had just thrown away from the ground.

Uh... I'm scared.

This thing requires chakra.

Given the Hatake clan's already limited chakra reserves, the little dumpling in Minato's hand would probably be enough for him to handle.

In that case, Chidori is more suitable for me.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the pitcher plant being blown to pieces and Obito being protected by Chiaki's pink chakra threads.

Lin, in particular, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Kakashi, being as observant as he is, immediately spotted the problem.

They had always believed that Obito was dead, since half of his body had been crushed by such a large rock, he must have died.

However, Chiaki didn't seem to think so, and still connected Obito to his body with chakra threads that could restore life force.

Kakashi understood the principle of the Chiaki Chakra Threads very well: it's about life sharing, transferring one person's life force to another.

However, if the person being transmitted is dead, then no matter how much time passes, it is impossible to bring them back to life.

Qianqiu understood this perfectly well.

If she links to a dead person and uses life sharing on him, the only possibility is that Qianqiu's life force will be completely drained and wasted on the dead person, and then she will disappear into the world.

Even if a thousand years of life force were abundant, it would never be wasted like this.

In other words, it is absolutely impossible for Qianqiu to perform life sharing on the dead.

Following this logic backwards, her sharing of her life with Obito means...

"Obito is still alive!!!"

Kakashi clenched his fist with great excitement, his gaze falling directly on the pitcher plant.

If Obito is still alive, why did this pitcher plant carry him away?

Could it be that it wants to save Obito?

Like Kakashi, Minato also noticed the problem and looked at the pitcher plant with the same puzzlement.

There's no need to worry about Obito anymore. With Chiaki helping with the treatment, he definitely won't die.

If that's the case, then the only remaining problem is the pitcher plant.

and so……

Who exactly is the pitcher plant?

The pitcher plant that had been blown into the crater slowly sat up, rubbing the green blood flowing from its body in a rather disheveled manner, and looked at Qianqiu with a horrified expression.

"You actually managed to hurt me?"

The pitcher plant exclaimed in disbelief, "What level is your chakra?!"

Qianqiu raised an eyebrow, realizing what the pitcher plant was talking about.

"What did you say?"

What's wrong with my chakra?

Qianqiu squinted at the pitcher plant, which is the same plant as Jue in the original work.

Now that I think about it, it seems that in the original work, Zetsu was never injured; only White Zetsu was ever injured.

In other words, it is very likely that Zetsu, or Black Zetsu, is at a very high level, perhaps even as high as Madara Uchiha in Six Paths, who could only be harmed by Sage Chakra.

And his own chakra could inflict damage on Zetsu, which means...

Has his chakra reached the level of Sage Chakra?

"……I see……"

Zetsu seemed to have realized that Chiaki and the others were unaware of the existence of Sage Chakra, so he simply kept quiet and began to play dumb.

Qianqiu frowned, and seeing that Jue was not going to speak, she could only sigh inwardly.

It seems my chakra might have undergone some other changes. I won't be able to find out by asking this guy. I'll have to ask the immortals in the three great secret realms when I have the chance in the future.

Let's deal with the immediate problem first.

"Stop struggling, put Obito down, and get out of here."

Qianqiu said to Jue in a deep voice. She understood that this guy was very good at protecting himself and was far beyond what she could kill in her current state.

"Chiaki?"

Minato looked at Chiaki with surprise, but he didn't say anything and chose to believe Chiaki.

Just then, an old voice suddenly broke into everyone's ears.

Chapter 356 I am Uchiha Madara

"You really look pathetic, absolutely."

An aged voice drifted into everyone's ears, causing Chiaki and Minato's expressions to change drastically, and even Mirai's expression shifted.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

An elderly man with white hair slowly emerged from behind the tree and walked step by step toward the giant pit.

"who!?"

Minato shouted, and the white-haired old man slowly walked away. The next moment, he disappeared from his spot and appeared next to Zetsu, looking down at Zetsu who was clutching his wound.

"Uchiha..."

Jue looked up at the white-haired old man, but the old man frowned slightly and stepped on Jue's body, crushing its mouth flat.

"I've said it so many times, don't use this title anymore."

Even though there wasn't a single chakra fluctuation emanating from the white-haired old man, he still exuded an aura of dominance and undeniable authority.

"Yes... sir..."

Just moments ago, Jue had been arrogant and domineering, but now he simply lowered his head in front of the white-haired old man. "I'm very sorry, it was my fault for not doing a good job!"

"Humph."

The white-haired old man trampled on Nianjue's body with his foot, then simply kicked it aside.

"Go back and recover from your injuries."

"Yes!"

Jue nodded hurriedly, glared at Qianqiu hatefully, and then disappeared underground.

As Zetsu disappeared, the white-haired old man turned his head and looked at Obito, who was receiving Chiaki's treatment.

"!!!"
