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

Chapter 373 The Art of Cement Mixing

Rumble.

The Tailed Beast Balls of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails were blasted apart.

The fiery red beam of light continued its relentless advance, heading straight for the eight-tailed and nine-tailed creatures that were stacked together.

As the smoke and dust cleared, only one octopus tentacle and the nine tails, severed together, remained.

"She's really tough." Madara said with some surprise when he saw that Kurama was still alive.

"Rather than saying the opponent is lucky, it's more accurate to say that the Ten-Tails in its current state is too weak. It can only do this much. It seems that its current power is not strong enough. However, they are already at the mercy of the enemy."

After Qianye finished speaking, she looked up at the sky and chuckled softly, "Has it finally arrived?"

"Are you too focused on the Ten-Tails?" Obito was startled, only to see Naruto's clones and Kakashi being hurled at him by the Nine-Tails.

Just like in the original story, Kakashi used Kamui to unleash the Eight-Tails, and the Tailed Beast Ball gathered in the Eight-Tails' mouth, ready to be unleashed.

"They really haven't changed their plans at all. Same old routine as always." Chiya symbolically formed a hand seal with his right hand. "Hado #90, Black Coffin!"

Before Obito and Madara's horrified eyes, a huge black coffin suddenly appeared in the space surrounding the Eight-Tails, covering it.

After a piercing scream, the Eight-Tails fell silent.

"Uncle Bi!" Naruto's clone shouted worriedly upon seeing this.

"This is the Black Coffin, a 'Hado series ninjutsu' I developed. Those trapped inside will be attacked by a thousand swords. Don't worry, I held back. The Eight-Tails is an important Jinchūriki, and I only used less than a third of its power. You won't die."

"But before that, you should worry about yourselves first."

Qianye gave a rare explanation of his ability: the black coffin shattered, and the Eight-Tails, covered in wounds, fell from the sky, leaving trails of blood mist in the air.

Then it gradually shrinks, exits its tailed beast form, and reverts to Killer Bee's appearance.

"It has the power to instantly kill a tailed beast, quite an impressive ninjutsu." Madara Uchiha couldn't help but praise, crossing his arms and looking up at Naruto's clone and Kakashi. "However, it seems there are still two flies to deal with."

As he spoke, he had already taken control of the Ten-Tails' tail and swung it at Naruto's clone and Kakashi.

Just like in the original story, Naruto used a clone to push Kakashi away and took the hit himself.

This action undoubtedly angered Obito, as it reminded him of the time he was hit by a boulder while trying to save Kakashi.

While the Ten-Tails' attention was focused on Naruto's shadow clone, the Nine-Tails swiftly approached and caught Kakashi and the half-crippled Killer Bee.

Then exit the Tailed Beast form.

The chakra of the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails is temporarily exhausted.

Next, Naruto and Obito had a verbal exchange. In a fit of anger, Obito snatched control of the Ten-Tails from Chiya and released the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.

Qianye did not stop him and let him release it.

Then, with Ino's precise mind-shifting ability and Neji's Byakugan, the trajectory was deviated.

The Tailed Beast Ball exploded with a loud bang in the distance.

"What was bound to happen has finally arrived." As Chiya finished speaking, tens of thousands of Allied Ninjas and Samurai appeared behind Naruto.

First, there was the First Force, led by Darui.

Then came the second unit led by Huang Tu and his daughter, Tui Ying.

Because Kakashi came to Naruto's aid ahead of time, the third team was without a captain.

Because Gaara was defeated, the fourth force was led by Temari.

The Fifth Division, led by Admiral Mifune of the Land of Iron.

The perception force led by hope.

Finally, the healing team was led by Shizune and Karin.

This formation represents the culmination of the entire coalition's fighting force.

Originally, they should have been filled with boundless energy and boiling blood at this moment.

Naruto was ready to shout, "This is the Allied Shinobi Forces' technique!"

But all of that was shattered by a sudden sound:

"Lord Chiya, you took Tsunade, Chinatsu, and even Hinata with you, why didn't you take me with you? I also want to be like Hinata and Tsunade and become part of Lord Chiya's family."

Karin stood beside Shizune, gazing at Chiya standing atop the Ten-Tails' head, tears streaming down her face in frustration.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone, including Madara Uchiha, Obito, and even Chiya, had black lines appearing on their faces.

The allied forces looked at the frantic Karin.

Madara Uchiha and Obito looked at Chiya.

Shizune was the first to react, quickly covering Karin's mouth and explaining with an embarrassed smile to those around her, "Don't misunderstand, my junior sister is a bit of a flirt, and she was once saved by Chiya, so she might not be the sharpest tool in the book."

"Chiya, that little girl seems to be from the Uzumaki clan. Is she also one of your concubines?" Madara looked at Chiya with amusement.

"No, that's not it. She and her mother once wandered into Kusagakure and were used as human power banks. I only rescued them because they were Uzumaki clan members and sent them to Tsunade. Later, when Tsunade became Hokage, she brought them to Konoha."

Chiya blushed, feeling a sense of social death. He stepped forward and said loudly, "Karin, if you're going to Tsunade's place, leave the Allied Forces. I'll send a clone to pick you up later."

To everyone's surprise, Karin pried Shizune's hand away and murmured, "I don't want any clones."

Then, in an extremely manly manner, he pointed at Qianye and shouted, "How could I possibly desert my post? These are all my comrades. I'm going to defeat you!"

The first half of the sentence was so inspiring that it instantly energized the previously gloomy Allied forces.

But the second half of the sentence: "Then I'll take you home and make you my husband."

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly fell to the ground, legs pointing upwards, and dust billowed up in an instant.

"Confessing your feelings for Chiya to one of the enemy leaders on the battlefield, right in front of your teammates. It seems you really saved a very special little girl." Madara's lips twitched violently.

Obito, unusually, did not contradict Madara and nodded in deep agreement.

However, what Madara and Obito didn't know was that Karin was actually doing this simply to buy time for the Allied Forces to use the "cement pouring" technique.

While it's possible that some of it was just him playing himself.

As expected, just as Madara and Obito relaxed their guard, the Cloud Ninja, led by Hijiri and Darui, were the first to unleash Lightning Release: Lightning Pillar and Storm Release.

This forced the Ten-Tails to squint its enormous six-tomoe Rinnegan, and even Madara and Obito subconsciously raised their left hands to protect their eyes.

As for Qianye, he calmly took out a pair of sunglasses from the system warehouse and quietly watched the Allied Forces' performance.

Iwagakure used Earth Release: Earth Shattering Core, causing the ground to suddenly sink and the Ten-Tails to slide into the deep pit.

Dissolve lime to form precipitate.

It then tilted downwards.

The mist conceals the water, causing it to stir.

Chiya watched all this unfold and couldn't help but chuckle. "Madara, Obito, don't you guys think the Allied Forces are just like a construction crew, actually thinking of using cement to trap the Ten-Tails?"

"The cement and water are being mixed; should we use fire-style techniques to speed up the solidification process next?"
