I am the most popular character in Naruto!

In short, it's incredibly useful!

Kakashi noticed the relaxed atmosphere on Obito's side, but he himself was quite anxious.

The Nine-Tails is getting closer and closer to the Hokage Rock, and the Anbu below it cannot stop its advance.

Even with so many people working together, they couldn't stop the Nine-Tails. What method should I use to stop this monster?

Should someone fill it out?

What are you filling this up with? Are you filling the Nine-Tailed Fox's belly to restore its strength?

Just as Kakashi was scratching his head in frustration, a cold voice reached his ears.

"Hey, isn't this the famous genius Kakashi Hatake?"

"How come the youngest Jonin was completely powerless to fight back?"

"If I remember correctly, that boy over there is a year younger than you, right?"

Yin and Yang weirdness.

He's an old-school yin-yang master.

Despite his rather calm tone, the words he uttered always managed to stir Kakashi's nerves.

"I said...didn't you take a little too long?"

"I threw the scroll out an hour ago!"

Kakashi's forehead veins bulged, and he turned around to curse at the newcomer.

"Don't frame me."

“Only five minutes have passed since you opened the scroll, and I changed my clothes as quickly as possible before coming over.”

Standing behind Kakashi, clutching his short, silver-white hair, was a weathered old man wearing his long-unseen battle suit and carrying his signature short sword on his back.

White teeth - Shuo Mao.

After being saved by Chiaki, he vowed to retire and become a ninja who secretly protects Chiaki.

However, after Chiaki surpassed him in strength, Sakumo completely retired, spending his days leisurely teaching Kakashi a lesson, walking his birds, and running a shop.

"Tch, those trash by the door don't need your help at all. This guy is the real culprit, Dad."

Kakashi said to Sakumo Hatake with displeasure. Sakumo Hatake glanced at Kurama and Obito, shook his head and said, "I can't beat it. At most, I can only stop it for a while."

"...Hey, that's not what you said when you gave me the scroll."

Kakashi smirked. "Who told me they'd help me if I opened the scroll?"

"I'm helping you, but I never said it would succeed."

Sakumo Hatake picked at his ear. "By the way, even though you got the scroll for Konoha, I'm still helping you out. This scroll isn't going back."

"???"

That's outrageous.

Kakashi rubbed his forehead, speechless at his father's antics.

Since retiring, this guy has become a complete slacker, just like that guy in the silver-haired, naturally curly-haired drama crew next door, with absolutely no motivation.

According to Sakumo Hatake, his mission was to protect Chiaki, but Chiaki doesn't need protection now, so his mission is to wait to die.

"I don't care, just find a way to hold off Kurama and Obito for a while!"

Kakashi gritted his teeth and said to Sakumo Hatake, who nodded, "I'll give it a try."

After saying that, he pulled out the white fang from his back and walked step by step toward Kurama and Obito.

"Ok?"

Obito, who was watching Kurama go berserk, suddenly felt a terrifying aura surge up, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

what! ?

Even though he's already at the pinnacle of the ninja world, how can he feel a sense of crisis?!

The Nine-Tailed Fox, which was wreaking havoc, suddenly stopped, its beastly eyes wide open.

Da da da……

A series of footsteps slowly approached.

Obito suddenly turned around, and Kurama's movement synchronized with his, as they both looked at the man whose aura increased with each step he took.

"White Fang, slash!"

Chapter 513 The heroes of the world are nothing more than this!

That man is the Sword God.

After witnessing this strike, countless ninjas had only one thought left in their minds.

No one knows just how strong the retired Sakumo Hatake really is.

He was already a Kage-level shinobi during the Third Shinobi World War.

Now, he has honed his swordsmanship to perfection. He no longer needs to carry out missions or do anything else. The only thing he needs to do is nurture his sword with all his heart and pour everything into his White Fang.

Given Sakumo Hatake's talent, it's perfectly normal for him to make further progress in swordsmanship after his initial triumph.

All his energy and spirit were concentrated in this one sword strike, and Sakumo Hatake walked step by step toward Kurama and Obito.

His goal was to use this sword to stop the man and the beast from advancing.

When he took the first step, Hatake Sakumo was completely powerless.

But as he slowly moved forward step by step, a sword intent and a killing intent gradually gathered on his body.

This sword intent and killing intent embodies the essence of Hatake Sakumo's entire life, from the moment he became a ninja.

When Sakumo Hatake walked firmly to Kurama and Obito, his aura had already risen to the peak of Kage level, approaching the level of Super Kage.

Sakumo Hatake's expression was solemn as he held the White Fang short blade upright in front of him, gathering all his chakra into it.

"White Fang, slash!"

He gently swung the white fang in his hand towards Kurama and Obito. The next moment, a white sword beam that reached the sky appeared, carrying the power to cut everything in two, and instantly struck Kurama!

The moment the sword light appeared, Obito's expression changed drastically. He had already felt the stagnation of space. After consuming a large amount of chakra, he barely managed to unleash Kamui and hide himself in another dimension.

Nine-Tails wasn't so lucky. It lacked mobility and, as a huge target, could only take the blow head-on.

"Damn-"

The Nine-Tails roared angrily, gathering a large amount of crimson chakra in front of it to forcefully block the huge white sword light.

In such a rush, this was all the Nine-Tails could manage.

This sword beam has already surpassed the concept of Kage level and reached the combat power of Super Kage level. Even if the Nine-Tails were to be hit by this at its peak, it would probably suffer considerable injury.

Moreover, the Nine-Tails is only at one-tenth of its current strength; if it were to take this sword beam head-on, it would likely be seriously injured.

Even though the Nine-Tails' self-recovery ability is outrageously strong, this level of severe injury will still seriously affect its combat power.

"This is fucking damn..."

Kakashi stared in disbelief as the enormous white sword beam hurtled straight toward the Nine-Tails, then cleaved the Nine-Tails' chakra shield in two and struck the Nine-Tails without slowing down.

Ho ho ho——

The Nine-Tails, struck squarely by the white sword light, bled profusely from its body and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

It roared wildly, like a wounded beast, rolling around on the ground, its body contorted.

The buildings along the way were crushed by the Nine-Tails, and a large amount of scalding blood fell to the ground, steaming up billowing vapors. The smell of blood and rotting chakra made the entire Konoha a mess.

"What is this stuff……"

Obito emerged from the Kamui dimension and swallowed hard.

He realized that he had underestimated the heroes of the world.

If Sakumo Hatake's sword strike were to land on him, Obito felt he would definitely not survive.

Even with its size and regenerative abilities, the Nine-Tails nearly lost half its life after taking that sword strike from Sakumo Hatake. And himself…

Ha ha.

Such swordsmanship, one would say, is truly worthy of White Fang...

Obito's attention was focused on Sakumo Hatake. Obito, who was initially a little nervous, immediately relaxed after seeing Sakumo's appearance.

"Heh, so it was just one sword strike? Then it's not worth mentioning."

At this moment, Hatake Sakumo knelt on the ground, cracks appearing on the white fang in his hand. His chakra was also completely depleted, and he had no strength left to unleash a second sword strike.

White Fang is not some indestructible legendary weapon; it is merely a short blade that accompanied Sakumo Hatake for many years.

With this sword strike from Hatake Sakumo, the name of White Fang was etched into everyone's hearts.

"I thought it could be that strong, but it's nothing special."

Obito stared intently as Kakashi ran to Sakumo Hatake's side and carried him away, then his gaze returned to Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

"It only delayed me for a short while. Hatake Sakumo's attack actually created an opportunity for me."

He chuckled softly, his figure vanishing from the spot as he charged towards the Nine-Tails.

"Strike while the iron is hot and kill him"—how could Obito not know such a simple principle?

Chi Chi Chi

After rolling on the ground for a while, the Nine-Tails endured the pain and got up. With bloodshot eyes, it stuck out its tongue and licked its wounds. Steam rose from its body as it began to use its enormous chakra and life force to repair itself.

Foxes are extremely vengeful creatures, and this fox has completely and utterly come to hate Konoha.

No matter what happened, you people from Konoha made me lose face and even injured me, so you have to die!

Just as Kurama was viciously pronouncing Konoha's death sentence in its heart, Obito suddenly appeared above Kurama's head.

To be precise, we stood right in front of it.

"???"
