In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 371 Participation in the War

P.S.: Updated first, revised later.

In the endless night sky, a blood-red full moon hangs high.

Beneath the full moon, a massive, mountain-like black shadow slowly emerged from the ground.

It has ten tails, and when the giant tails swing, the earth shakes and the sky spins.

At first glance, the blood-red full moon seemed to be surrounded by its ten tails, bursting forth with a dazzling cross-shaped red light.

"One, two, three, eight, nine, ten, ten tails, ten tails, is that ten tails?"

Kakashi gasped in shock, while Jiraiya, Might Guy, Naruto, Killer Bee, and the tailed beasts within them stared blankly at the suddenly appearing behemoth with grim expressions.

In particular, Jiraiya, who summoned two giant toads and activated Sage Mode, was able to sense the Ten-Tails' terror even more than Naruto, who was in Nine-Tails' Malice Mode.

It was like mountains, rivers, and forests—that unfathomable depths that sent chills down his spine.

"This is bad. This is bad." Jiraiya was the first to react.

The frog-like, straight pupils suddenly turned to Obito, whose Kamui they had just broken. He shouted urgently, "Everyone, stop standing there! We must stop Obito from getting close to the Ten-Tails!"

"Don't give him any plans to unleash his divine power, or we're doomed. That monster is far beyond our ability to defeat."

At this moment, Obito's mask had been broken, revealing a Rinnegan in his left eye and a Sharingan in his right, showing a face that was originally quite handsome, but was ruined by the scar on his right side.

"It's not that we won't lose, it's that we've already lost." Obito looked at the Ten-Tails indifferently, completely ignoring Jiraiya and the others.

Just as Jiraiya and the others were about to launch an attack on Obito, a dark shadow fell from the sky like a meteorite, crashing to the ground. The ground shattered.

"What is that?" Jiraiya, Kakashi, and the others stopped in their tracks, instinctively raising their arms to shield themselves.

From the dust, Madara's figure emerged. He placed his left hand on his hip, glancing sideways at the Ten-Tails. "Obito, looks like you're having a lot of fun."

"To actually resist the Impure World Reincarnation technique, that's certainly like your style." Obito glanced at Madara with some surprise.

"This guy is Madara." Naruto recognized Madara.

"Madara, is this Madara?" Kakashi asked. At that moment, everyone in the Allied Forces was startled by Madara's sudden attack.

Shocked, I couldn't help but feel worried.

Everyone knows that Madara is over there, being held back by the Five Kage. Since Madara is here, doesn't that mean the Five Kage are already...

Thinking of this, the five of them felt a pang of sorrow.

Naruto, unable to control his emotions, roared excitedly, "Why is Madara over there here?"

Madara raised an eyebrow, casually glanced at Naruto and the Eight-Tails behind him, and looked at the Ten-Tails, saying to himself, "You haven't even obtained the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails yet, and you're already starting your plans? You're getting impatient, Obito."

"I'm asking you, how are those people over there doing?" Naruto's eyes were bloodshot as the Nine-Tails' chakra erupted, and nine giant golden tails extended from behind him.

"Over there, who knows?" Madara finally answered Naruto, slowly saying, "They probably aren't safe and sound."

He would never reveal that Tsunade and Mei Terumi mocked him for being a virgin.

"Damn it..." Naruto controlled his tail to turn into tentacles, pulled out the black rod chains that Obito had left on the Eight-Tails, and threw them fiercely, covering Madara and Obito.

It's faster than the Cursed Seal's binding. Obito frowned, tossing the Uchiha fan to Madara, "This is yours, here you go."

Madara casually used his fan to release a huge chakra shield, blocking the black rod chains, and continued to say to Naruto, "Naruto... no, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, if you're so eager to know how the Five Kage are doing, why don't you ask Chiya?"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi and Jiraiya exchanged bewildered glances. Jiraiya asked, "What exactly is going on?"

"Isn't it already quite obvious? Chiya has decided to join the war." Madara said calmly, "Isn't that right, Chiya?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a figure descended from the sky, landing between Obito and Madara. The entire earth seemed to tremble violently.

"Ah, of course." From the dust, Qianye's figure gradually emerged.

"Why, why are you standing on Madara's side, Senya-nii-san?" Naruto shouted excitedly.

"Because you've already lost." Chiya turned her head to look at the Ten-Tails. "But don't worry, Naruto."

"The Five Kage are not dead. As agreed, I took Tsunade, Chinatsu, and Mei Terumi away. As for the Tsuchikage, Raikage, and Kazekage, I didn't kill them for Tsunade and Mei Terumi's sake; I only sealed them away."

"After I extract the Tailed Beast, I will resurrect you just as I resurrected your mother. You don't need to worry about your life."

"After all, you and Erzhuzi are both important stepsons of mine."

Naruto's mother? Like Sasuke's?

Kushina and Mikoto aren't dead? Obito looked at Chiya with some surprise.

He really wanted to ask the other person, but considering that Ban was still there, he ultimately didn't ask.

"I absolutely disagree, I absolutely disagree!" Naruto's shoulders trembled slightly. He lowered his head halfway, his eyes obscured by shadows, then suddenly raised them. "Brother Chiya, I absolutely disagree with what you've done."

"I said I would definitely become Hokage and bring you and Sasuke back."

His eyes were more determined than ever before.

Chiya shrugged it off, "That was the answer I expected. But you don't have a choice now. I won't hold back anymore. Don't worry, Naruto, even if you're reduced to ashes, I can still bring you back to life."

After saying that, Chiya took the lead and rushed towards the top of the Ten-Tails' head, followed closely by Madara and Obito.

The crimson crescent moon's cross-shaped light faded, revealing three tentacle-like tubes extending from the top of their heads and piercing the backs of Chiya, Madara, and Obito's necks respectively.

"Is this the power of the Ten-Tails? It's quite interesting, but it's all brute force. If I just create four shadow clones, trap them with the Four Red Sun Formation, and then use a sage sealing technique, I can easily subdue it."

Qianye murmured to himself.

Hearing that Chiyo completely disregarded the Ten-Tails, Obito frowned and replied, "Of course. Tailed beasts can only unleash their full power when sealed within a Jinchuriki."

With his hands in his pockets, Chiya looked at Obito and Madara with interest. "So, which of you two plans to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki and unleash the Infinite Tsukuyomi next?"

"Hmm," Qianye stretched out his right hand and touched his chin, pondering, "Personally, I prefer Obito. After all, there's always a first-come, first-served order. He's put in a lot of effort and planned for nearly twenty years."

"We're about to succeed. It would be so unfair if Mr. Ban just took the credit for us."

"We have to give him a chance, right? If he fails, we can always replace him with Mr. Ban."

Obito scoffed, about to speak, when Madara interrupted him, "That grand genjutsu requires some time to summon the moon. Until then, let's use the power of the golem to clear the obstacles. That will make our actions much easier."
