Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 296 Isn't it only natural for a Jinchuriki to mobilize the chakra of a Tailed Beast? (Third Update!)

Konoha felt an unprecedented emptiness.

A large number of Konoha ninja were dispatched outside the village to build an encirclement around Nagato and Kurama, because Konoha did not want to let them go, regardless of who won or lost.

If Nagato wins, these Konoha ninjas will fight desperately to protect the Nine-Tails; if the Nine-Tails wins, these Konoha ninjas will fight desperately to suppress the Nine-Tails.

It's too early to say now; the fighting is extremely fierce.

It's impossible to predict who will win or lose.

In order to control the war situation and resolve the crisis facing Konoha, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage and Konoha's last strong warrior, went to the battlefield.

Aside from Tsunade, no one else in Konoha could intervene in the war between the Nine-Tails and the Gedo Mazo. Even with Tsunade's power, she could only try to become the straw that broke the camel's back.

After Tsunade left.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village was no longer of any value to the battlefield situation.

Obito Uchiha stood on the Hokage Rock, slowly closing his fingers, his Kamui Sharingan emanating gusts of tornado-like wind!

"Fire Release: Explosive Wind Dance!"

The flames expanded rapidly under the amplification of the tornado!

The ball of flame swirled and landed on the Fire Shadow Tower on the ground, instantly igniting the tower completely. The towering flames were like a torch!

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were still inside the Hokage Building. The two advisors only had time to salvage some urgent information before rushing out. The ninjas stationed in the village also swarmed over upon seeing the flames!

"My esteemed advisor!"

A Konoha ninja frowned. He looked up and saw Obito Uchiha on the Hokage Rock. He couldn't help but mutter, "Should we go and inform the Hokage? Obito Uchiha really is here..."

"No."

Koharu Utatane shook her head and said in a deep voice, "Send someone to tell Tsunade that we will protect Konoha, so Tsunade can fight with peace of mind!"

"yes…"

This ninja had no choice but to obey orders.

"Uchiha Obito!"

Mitokado Homura looked up at Uchiha Obito and shouted, "What are you doing here! Wasn't your goal to kill Nagato outside?!"

"Yes."

Obito Uchiha landed atop the ruins of the Hokage Building, which were engulfed in flames. Ignoring the flames beneath his feet, he looked down at the Konoha ninja on the ground: "But I came here for another purpose, and that is to uphold the Will of Fire of Konoha!"

"What do you mean?"

"It means..."

A red light flashed in Obito Uchiha's Sharingan, and his voice carried a terrifying, wicked laugh: "Burn this village to ashes! Hahahahaha..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the ruins.

While the Konoha ninjas underground were still wondering, Obito Uchiha appeared in another location and opened his mouth to spew out a burst of flames towards a tall building!

"Quickly, stop him!"

Mitokado Homura directed the ninjas around him to put out the fire.

However, Nara Shikaku, who had rushed over, couldn't help but frown and whispered, "First, get the civilians in the village dispersed within the safe zone, so they don't get caught in the crossfire..."

Because the village's ninjas were almost entirely reduced to low-ranking ninjas responsible for maintaining the evacuation of the masses, and there were hardly any ninjas who posed even the slightest threat to Obito Uchiha.

In just a few minutes, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was completely ignited by the elusive Uchiha Obito.

Nara Shikaku was at a loss and could only try to minimize the damage and salvage some valuable documents and equipment.

Fortunately, Obito Uchiha did not kill anyone.

That crazy guy seems to be just venting his anger...

"I never imagined that Konoha would one day have to thank its enemy for their mercy?"

Nara Shikaku gazed at Konoha engulfed in flames and at Obito Uchiha leaving the village, a bitter smile appearing on his face: "Fortunately, the civilians and students in the village had already evacuated beforehand..."

This was probably the best thing they did before the war started.

More precious than the financial losses Konoha is currently suffering are the villagers of Konoha and the students who are still growing up.

Spectator area.

Uehara Naraku tilted his head, looked at the system task he had completed, rubbed his forehead, and felt a little complicated.

I originally thought I would have to take action myself.

I never imagined that doing something under my control could be considered completing a task.

Side Quest: Successfully conquer Konoha Village (1/1). Quest complete. Reward: Passive Talent Skill - Fire Power.

Fire Power: Allows the user to freely manipulate fire-attribute chakra, create and use fire-style ninjutsu at will, and is a component of Truth-Seeking Balls.

Scorch Release (Activated): Allows free manipulation of Scorch Release chakra, composed of fire and wind power, to create and use Scorch Release ninjutsu at will.

Boil Release (Activated): Allows free manipulation of Boil Release chakra, composed of fire and water power, to create and use Boil Release ninjutsu at will.

Lava Release (Activated): Allows free manipulation of Lava Release chakra, composed of fire and earth powers, to create and use Lava Release ninjutsu at will.

Lava Release (Activated): A branch bloodline that allows free manipulation of Lava Release chakra, composed of fire and earth elements, to create and use Lava Release ninjutsu at will.

Explosion Release (Activated): A branch of the bloodline limit, allowing free manipulation of Explosion Release chakra composed of fire and earth powers, enabling the creation and use of Explosion Release ninjutsu at will.

Dust Release (Activated): Allows free manipulation of Dust Release chakra, composed of wind, fire, and earth powers, to create and use Dust Release ninjutsu at will.

Is it possible to play like this?

Uehara Naraku never imagined that the fusion of fire and earth chakra could not only produce two different Lava Release techniques, but also Explosion Release.

This seems quite normal.

If I remember correctly, Deidara's Explosion Release technique is actually close to the threshold of Dust Release. One of his techniques can turn a person into ashes, but it can't split into atoms.

"What is it, Lord Naraku?"

Kabuto Yakushi immediately noticed that Uehara Naraku's expression was unusual.

Uehara Naraku shook his head and sighed, "I was just thinking about something unpleasant. The Konoha ninjas are fighting desperately on the front lines, while we're reaping the benefits for ourselves and even destroying their village. I feel a little guilty about it..."

Kabuto Yakushi: "..."

Minato Namikaze: "..."

Damn it, how could this person have the nerve to say that!

Wasn't it you who insisted on sending Obito Uchiha to destroy Konoha just now?

Who are you trying to impress with this act now?

the other side.

When Tsunade rushed to the battlefield of the Nine-Tails and the Gedo Mazo, she also received news of Obito Uchiha's attack on Konoha. However, she was well aware that the most important thing right now was the battlefield outside the village.

It doesn't matter as long as the villagers aren't hurt too much.

Even so, Tsunade still issued a Hokage order, transferring two ninja squads of several hundred people back to Konoha to be responsible for protecting civilians.

Besides that, Tsunade even took the time to inquire about the battle situation in other places: "How is the battle going with the Kazekage and Mizukage? Haven't they taken down Konan yet, given their combined strength?"

"Um…"

The Konoha Anbu lowered their heads and whispered, "That blue-haired woman is extremely skilled at using explosive tags in combat. Her explosive tags seem inexhaustible. Right now, the Kazekage and Mizukage can only try their best to hold her off..."

To be honest...

The Dark Side believes the other side of the battlefield might be even more outrageous.

Not only did this Konoha Anbu member think this way, but even the Fifth Kazekage Gaara and the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi were somewhat helpless against Konan's ninjutsu being too outrageous.

Now, on their side of the battlefield, only Konan, Gaara, and Mei Terumi remain; Animal Path Pain has already been dealt with by them.

The only troublesome person is Xiao Nan.

"That woman..."

Mei Terumi gritted her teeth, glaring at Konan flying in the sky, and gasped, "Is she that teacher of that wretched brat from Uehara?"

"According to the information Konoha gave us, that's correct."

Gaara's face remained solemn. Clumps of yellow sand floated in the air, and suddenly these clumps of sand formed a giant sand hand, which fiercely grabbed towards Konan!

However, Konan simply reached out and inserted an explosive tag into the paper airplane without any expression, maneuvering the paper airplane and the explosive tag into the range of the giant sand hand!

After observing this scene, Konan slowly closed her fingers and whispered, "Ninja Art: Mutual Explosion Tags Technique!"

The next moment, the detonation tags exploded with a series of booming sounds!

In an instant, the giant hand of sand was directly destroyed by dozens or even hundreds of explosive tags commanded by the Mutual Explosive Tags Technique.

Konan's fighting style is that simple and brutal. No matter what ninjutsu Mei Terumi and Gaara use, she will just take them out with explosive tags.

to be frank.

Mei Terumi and Gaara were both speechless.

"I'm very curious."

Gaara, seeing his attack thwarted once again, frowned and looked at Konan, saying, "As Uehara Naraku's former enemy, I know his strength well; you are his teacher, surely you have more than just these tricks up your sleeve?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Nan reached out and brushed a strand of hair from her temple, her face still cold and indifferent.

Konan slowly observed Gaara and Mei Terumi, her voice cold as she said, "These methods are sufficient to deal with you."

The reason we haven't overwhelmed them with a massive number of explosive tags is because Konan needs to conserve her chakra; she will be the last line of defense protecting Nagato.

While this situation was still entangled...

Tsunade had arrived at the battlefield. Looking at the fierce battle between the Nine-Tails and the Gedo Statue, she said in a deep voice, "The most important battlefield is still on the Nine-Tails' side. Send someone to gather the sealing team to stay with me!"

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

The ANBU ninja nodded and hurried off to summon the sealing team.

Teams of sealing ninjas arrived at Tsunade's side, waiting for the opportune moment to launch their attack, but that moment never came.

On the central battlefield.

The earth was shaking continuously.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path slammed its fist into the ground, then suddenly flipped its palm over and flipped the Nine-Tails to the ground. Just as it was trying to restrain the Nine-Tails with its palm, an energy blast shot out!

While the Nine-Tails used the Gedo Mazo to dodge the energy blast, it sprang back out, grinning at the Gedo Mazo: "Hmph, what a troublesome fellow..."

"This is such a hassle..."

Nagato's expression was also not good.

Because the Nine-Tailed Fox is just too difficult to capture.

Apart from the Gedo Mazo's attacks, other methods are simply tickling the Nine-Tails. Even if you use Shinra Tensei to attack the Nine-Tails, you might be injured by the repulsive force from the backlash!

At that moment, Nagato felt a pang of regret.

If he had listened to Uehara Naraku's advice and captured and subdued the Eight-Tails Gyūki first, and then brought the Gedo Mazo to capture the Nine-Tails, it would definitely have been much less troublesome.

Nagato is now truly in a predicament.

Little did they know that the Nine-Tailed Fox on the other side was also very anxious.

Because it was very aware of how troublesome the Gedo Mazo was, this enormous monster was once the body shared by the tailed beasts' chakra, and its power was extremely strong.

It would be quite easy for Kurama (the Nine-Tails) to fight the Gedo Mazo to a draw; however, defeating the Gedo Mazo would be quite difficult.

Okay, more than just a little.

Because there is another equally threatening Nagato above the Gedo Mazo.

If they're not careful, they might catch him. If he's taken into the Gedo Mazo, Kurama knows he'll definitely disappear!

"We still need to use that brat Naruto's body to fuse our chakra..."

Kurama stared at the enormous Gedo Statue and couldn't help but snort: "Why is that brat so long-winded? Hasn't he finished talking to that woman Kushina yet?"

In the spiritual world.

Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki met.

Because it happened to coincide with Jiraiya's death, Naruto was at his most volatile emotional state. In order to avenge Jiraiya, he completely broke the seal under the influence of Kurama.

This time, there was no obstruction from Minato Namikaze. However, after the seal was completely broken, Naruto Uzumaki was able to see the chakra of his mother, Kushina Uzumaki.

Therefore, Naruto Uzumaki reported to his mother everything that had happened in the ninja world, including news that Obito Uchiha had caused the Nine-Tails' rampage, that the Akatsuki was wreaking havoc in the ninja world capturing tailed beasts, and that Jiraiya had just died in battle.

Just as they finished their conversation and Kushina was feeling sad, both mother and son heard Kurama's words and couldn't resist their curiosity, pulling Kurama into their mental space.

Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki stood together, both gazing at the enormous Nine-Tails with identical expressions of curiosity.

Kushina Uzumaki looked at the enormous Nine-Tails and stretched out her palm: "Hey, Nine-Tails, we can talk for as long as we want, what's it to you! Do you want me to tie you up?!"

"..."

Oh shit!

Nine-Tailed Fox looked down at the mother and child.

A hint of disdain appeared in the Nine-Tailed Fox's giant eyes.

This mother and son are just so annoying to look at!

No matter how many times I watch it, I still find this mother and son really annoying!

Kurama couldn't help but glance at Kushina Uzumaki and said, "Hmph, then you can continue talking! After I am extracted from Naruto Uzumaki's body, that brat will die and go to the underworld to reunite with you. At that time, you can talk for as long as you want!"

"..."

Kushina Uzumaki fell silent.

Naruto's safety is the most important thing right now, as there are powerful enemies outside.

If they want to defeat the Gedo Mazo and Nagato outside, Kurama and Naruto Uzumaki must work together to unleash their full power!

Naruto scratched the back of his head and asked, "What happened outside? Well, Mom and I will seal you away again now, and I'll go back to fighting!"

Damn it, why do you still want to seal it away?!

Kurama glanced at Naruto, who had only uttered half a sentence, and said in a deep voice, "The enemy outside is someone even I at my peak would find troublesome. Kid, do you think you can handle it?"

"..."

Naruto Uzumaki fell silent.

Kurama snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "Alright, I need your body to fight now. I will lend you all of my chakra to control..."

"Borrow what?!"

Kushina Uzumaki grumbled discontentedly, "Isn't it only natural for a Jinchuriki to draw upon the chakra of a Tailed Beast? Kurama, what's with that condescending look on your face?!"

"asshole!"

Kurama couldn't help but bare its teeth at Kushina Uzumaki: "You think this brat is like you! Unless I lend him some, he won't get a single bit of power from me!"

"..."

Kushina Uzumaki immediately pouted.

As the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki truly had the Nine-Tails completely under her thumb.

Unexpectedly, now that she's dead, the Nine-Tails, who she had always kept under her control, has turned the tables.

Seeing the regret and displeasure on Kushina's face, Kurama couldn't help but bare its teeth: "You damned woman, if you want your son to live, let him go out and fight!"

There's still three watches to go...
