Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 486 Infinite God of Heaven

Minato was completely confused, but he nodded nonetheless.

Obito placed his hand on Minato Namikaze's shoulder and activated Kamui, teleporting the two back.

"Minato-sensei?"

Kakashi and Rin, who were inside the house, couldn't help but gasp in surprise when they saw Minato next to Obito.

Minato, like the other two, was equally surprised: "Kakashi, Rin..."

Aokiji laughed and said, "The four of you, master and disciples, are all gone now."

Minato asked, "What exactly is going on?"

When you're being punished, stand up straight; when you're wrong, admit it. Upon learning the truth, Obito didn't mince words: "I'm sorry, Minato-sensei, I was tricked by Madara..."

"spot?"

Minato sighed. He had heard Aokiji talk about this mission before.

Obito asked Aokiji, "There's something I don't understand. How did you know my identity?"

If it weren't for Lin's appearance, he wouldn't have revealed such an obvious flaw.

Aokiji laughed and said, "Just take it as a guess."

"A guess?"

"You gouged out Kakashi's eyes; this seems like an attempt to cover it up."

"Just this?"

"Of course, there are other reasons as well."

After listening to what was being said, Minato realized one thing: it turned out that Aokiji had known a lot of information all along.

"Since you know about Obito's situation, why did you still..." Before he could finish speaking, Minato knew what Aokiji was implying. Obito's current situation was clearly directly related to Aokiji.

"Don't get it wrong, he's your disciple, not mine," Aokiji said coldly. "Good and evil don't offset each other. If you commit certain crimes, you have to bear the corresponding punishment, and death is the best punishment for him."

Aokiji's words made sense, and Minato sighed deeply.

Obito, knowing his sins were grave, said, "Minato-sensei, you don't need to say anything. This is indeed everything I deserve."

"Obito..."

Lin murmured, not knowing exactly what Obito had done, but she felt that he had done something very wrong.

"Alright, I'm sure you two have a lot to talk about, so I won't be a third wheel. You two can chat here. I'll come back to you later."

Aokiji left the house, leaving the four of them with private space.

Now that Obito has been dealt with, he can ask Obito for all the Yin-Yang Release techniques that Madara Uchiha taught him, thus increasing his strength.

After Aokiji left, Rin couldn't help but ask, "Obito, what exactly happened?"

Obito let out a breath and explained the reason for what happened to Rin in an apologetic voice.

Inside the sealed chamber was a huge ice coffin, with the pillar sealed inside, unable to move or even make a sound.

Standing in front of him was an elderly woman with gray hair, well past sixty.

At this moment, she gently stroked the ice with her aged hands and said softly, "We've finally met again..."

"Mito..."

Inside the ice coffin, the protagonist's gaze was lowered, his eyes filled with apology.

He died very early, leaving his wife to live as a widow for so many years.

Tsunade stood to the side, watching quietly.

Aokiji rushed back from Obito's place and asked how things were going: "How is it? Is Grandma Mito alright?"

"It's alright, you don't need to worry about it..."

After understanding the situation, Aokiji stepped forward and spoke to Hashirama inside the ice coffin about how to undo the hand seals for the Impure World Reincarnation.

He then released the seal on the Ice Coffin ninjutsu, ordering Hashirama Senju to immediately break the contract. If he was too late, Madara Uchiha would react and regain control.

Hashirama knew the hand seals from before and copied them exactly.

Impure World Reincarnation - Release

"How is it?" Aokiji asked.

Hashirama thanked him, having successfully freed Madara Uchiha from control.

"Let's go outside."

Aokiji pulled Tsunade out of the room, leaving the elderly couple alone for a while.

Tsunade glanced at him and then left with Aokiji.

"Feel sorry……"

Mito covered Hashirama's mouth with her hand, a smile playing on her lips: "You've done very well..."

"Mito..."

Mito joked, "Sometimes dying early is a good thing. Look at you, you're still so young, while I'm already an old woman."

"It's okay, I don't mind..."

"But I mind."

"..."

◎

Nanga Shrine, indoor.

A group of people gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Obito revealed all of Madara Uchiha's plans, and the group immediately learned about the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan and Madara's intention to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki.

Someone immediately suggested that since there were so many people, they should just rush over and kill Uchiha Madara to stop him from becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Aokiji shook his head, rejecting the idea: "It's no use. Even if we all joined forces, we wouldn't be a match for him."

Everyone looked on in surprise. If they remembered correctly, Aokiji was able to seal Hashirama and escape even when Madara and Hashirama joined forces.

Logically speaking, they should replenish their chakra now, then charge back. With so many people's strength gathered, and Hashirama still on their side, even Madara Uchiha could only hold them off with one arm. How could he say something so discouraging?

Aokiji knew what everyone was thinking and offered an explanation:

"The reason I was able to escape from him back then was because he hadn't truly resurrected yet. With Madara's intelligence, he had already anticipated our actions and has most likely achieved true resurrection through the Samsara technique."

"Now that he's truly resurrected, doesn't that mean he can be killed?" the crowd asked, puzzled. "Without unlimited chakra, he might be easier to deal with."

Aokiji dispelled any remaining hope in the others' minds: "No, that's because you don't know the true eye technique of the Rinnegan."

"A true eye technique!?"

Since things had come to this point, there was no point in hiding anything anymore. Aokiji gave a brief explanation of Limbo: Border Jail's abilities.

Madara Uchiha could create shadows with his eyes. These shadows were invisible and imperceptible to ordinary people, which was a form of dimensional reduction attack.

Everyone was utterly shocked after hearing this.

If what Aokiji said is true, and the mechanism of this ninjutsu is simply invincible, then all of them combined are indeed no match for Madara Uchiha.

Obito was more surprised than anyone else present. He wondered how Aokiji, an outsider, knew more about things than he, an insider.

"How do you know so much about this ninjutsu? Even I, and even Nagato himself, the user, didn't know about it?"

Upon hearing Obito's words, everyone realized what he meant and cast curious glances at him.

Aokiji made up a reason, roughly that he had seen such a scene before, but he didn't go into the details.

The ability to predict the future, even with such precision, is difficult to explain.

Aokiji added, "In short, don't act rashly before you come up with a concrete plan."

According to the order of capturing the tailed beasts, Madara Uchiha should have captured Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Raikage first, and then Konoha to capture Kurama.

The other tailed beasts are definitely doomed. Aokiji only needs to protect Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

To synthesize the Ten-Tails, you don't need all the tailed beasts; you only need to gather most of them and have a few that possess chakra.

Kinkaku and Ginkaku possess the Nine-Tails' chakra and are from the same era as Uchiha Madara. He should know them, and there's a possibility that he used them as fusion materials.

Aokiji presented a detailed plan, and everyone listened without objection, then got to work.

First, Obito used Kamui, and a group of people went in first.

Once Hashirama arrived in the Kamui dimension, he clasped his hands together and used the massive Wood Release: Multiple One-Bedroom Four-Hall Technique to transform the Kamui dimension into a habitable place.

The speed at which houses are being built would probably make real estate developers weep.

The light of Infinite Tsukuyomi covers the entire world; the only way to escape is to hide in Kamui Dimension.

As for the others, they went to prepare food and gather people to relocate to the Divine Might Space.

On the street, Aokiji looked at Mei and said, "Aren't you staying?"

Kirigakure doesn't have any tailed beasts, so Madara Uchiha wouldn't bother their village. But the Infinite Tsukuyomi is available worldwide.

"I can't abandon the village."

Mei Terumi's eyes reflected a resolute determination to live and die with the village.

If it were anyone else, Aokiji would probably say something like, "Stubborn and unyielding, they will only bring about their own destruction."

Aokiji nodded and didn't insist on keeping them: "But you don't need to be too pessimistic. There's always a way out."

Mei Terumi felt that Aokiji was comforting her, and gave a bitter laugh before leading the people of Kirigakure back to the village.

"Well then, it's time for me to get started..."

Watching the people from Shirogane Village leave, Aokiji spoke to himself.

Tsunade, standing nearby, sensed something from his tone: "You've come up with a plan?"

Aokiji smiled wryly, "It's just a temporary measure..."

"What are you going to do?"

"I will go and negotiate with Madara Uchiha."

"don't want."

Tsunade was worried that if Aokiji went there, Madara Uchiha would kill him directly.

"What are you thinking? Your husband isn't that stupid. I can use shadow clones."

Aokiji gently pulled at Tsunade's hair to help her relax.

"Don't pull my hair, it's all messed up."

"Then where should I grab it?"

"Anything but hair is fine."

"Then where should I grab it?"

Aokiji, settling for second best, chuckled maliciously.

Tsunade's mind worked quickly at this moment, and she said in a sweet voice, "Not here."

Aokiji nodded in agreement: "That's true. For something like this, you should at least go home and catch it."

"Idiot, that's not what I meant."

"So what do you mean?"

Tsunade knows Aokiji all too well; he's definitely playing dumb: "If you keep acting like this, you can forget about working with me again."

Aokiji looked completely bewildered: "What are you doing?"

Tsunade's face flushed red as she glared at Aokiji, ready to make her move.

Okay... Aokiji shrugged. Tsunade held the power of life and death, and he couldn't afford to offend her, so he raised his hands in surrender.

After joking around for a while, Tsunade's tense nerves relaxed: "Seriously, what exactly do you want to say to that guy? That madman doesn't seem like someone you can persuade."

Aokiji, confident and assured, said, "Don't worry, I'll give him a reason he can't refuse."

Tsunade watched curiously, while Aokiji bowed his head and whispered in a voice only one person could hear, "Mega Kotoamatsukami..."
