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

Chapter 374 The Third Generation About to Be Dragged Out and Whipped

"Now that you mention it, it seems to make sense." Madara Uchiha smiled, neither confirming nor denying. "However, the cooperation of the allied forces did surprise me somewhat."

"I never imagined that the five great powers, who were once enemies, could cooperate to such an extent."

"That's true. But it's only temporary. All of this is based on the premise that they have a common enemy." Chiya clicked his tongue. "In fact, the only ones in the ninja world who are most skilled in fire release are the Uchiha and Sarutobi clans. The Uchiha clan was killed by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo, and the Sarutobi clan was wiped out by me."

"The next fire-style unit will, unsurprisingly, be a patchwork of different units. It won't be able to finish the mission perfectly."

"Otherwise, it would have been a beautiful and perfect performance. It should have been a model for the construction team in the ninja world."

Sure enough, the moment the words fell, Jiraiya and other ninjas from various countries, dressed in different outfits, walked to the edge of the pit and unleashed their fire-style attacks.

Cement hardens at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, the Allied Shinobi Forces, led by Naruto, charged down, their target being Chiya, Obito, and Madara on the Ten-Tails' head.

"A performance is just a performance; it's not something you can really show off." Obito looked at the approaching Allied Shinobi with disdain.

"It seems they've given up on attacking the Ten-Tails and are now targeting us instead. Attacking the enemy leader is a good idea, but we need to stop the Ten-Tails first," Madara said with a smirk. "The Ten-Tails' time is almost up."

Facing the allied ninjas' ranged attacks, Chiya, Madara, and Obito remained unmoved. Just as the attacks were about to land, the Ten-Tails' tails spread out like a pretzel.

Then suddenly burst forth

The allied forces were all knocked away. Casualties were heavy.

Looking at the Ten-Tails again, it has changed from its crawling form in the previous stage to a thin form that can stand up. Its tail has turned into claws, and its head only has one eye, one ear, and one mouth.

"Controlling the Ten-Tails is becoming increasingly difficult; we'll have to use Hashirama's cells to bind it," Madara warned.

"Hmm." Obito nodded slowly. As he spoke, a milky white tentacle grew from Madara's chest and the right side of Obito's back, merging into the top of the Ten-Tails' head.

Then the two of them looked at Chiya at the same time, because it was already difficult to control the Ten-Tails with just the tube at the back of its neck.

They were eager to know what Qianye was planning.

Otherwise, Chiya will lose control of the Ten-Tails.

"You can control it, I can't conjure such disgusting tentacles," Qianye said dismissively.

In fact, he could control it simply by using the tube that extends from the Ten-Tails and connects to the back of its neck.

There is absolutely no need for intercolumnar cells.

"Let's test just how powerful the Ten-Tails is in this state. First..." Madara's lips curled into a sinister smile as he prepared to bombard the Allied Forces headquarters.

"Ah, let me show them the Ten-Tails' current power." Obito understood and controlled the Ten-Tails to accumulate a teardrop-shaped Tailed Beast Ball.

After the Allied Forces' Earth Release techniques interfered with their accuracy and after several failures, Obito and Madara gradually mastered controlling the Ten-Tails, and the final Tailed Beast Ball landed unsurprisingly at the Allied Forces headquarters.

"Ha! I thought they'd foolishly stay at the Allied Forces headquarters, clinging to their so-called duty." Qianye chuckled, feigning ignorance, and asked, "So, you're attacking the Allied Forces command post?"

"Of course, just like prioritizing the elimination of the enemy squad's medical ninjas, taking out the enemy's leader is common sense." Madara revealed a confident and playful smile.

"However, on the other hand, the Ten-Tails is becoming increasingly difficult to control." Madara touched the Hashirama cell tentacles on his chest. "In this state, I can still barely control it, but if I don't transform into a Jinchūriki, it seems I will no longer be able to control the Ten-Tails."

"If I want to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, I must first become a living being." As he said this, Madara glanced meaningfully at Chiya and Obito.

Chiya shrugged slightly. "Don't look at me like that. I think I've already said that there's always a first-come, first-served order. If Obito is willing to let you become a Jinchuriki, I don't mind using a resurrection ninjutsu to revive you."

"Of course, you can also have Obito sacrifice himself like Nagato and use the Rinne Rebirth technique."

Upon hearing this, Obito looked at Chiya with some astonishment, "You know medical ninjutsu that can revive the dead?"

Chiya said calmly, "Of course. If Granny Chiyo of Sunagakure can develop a resurrection ninjutsu like 'Reincarnation,' how could I, with my ninjutsu talent and foundation, not be able to do it?"

"The so-called side effects are simply that the person who performed this technique was not strong enough, which is why they died."

"The condition for Kabuto to become my subordinate was to resurrect his adoptive mother. It's just a pity that after resurrecting his adoptive mother, he seemed to be persuaded by her and betrayed me."

"But it doesn't matter anymore. At this point in the war, whether we have a backup plan or not is irrelevant."

At this point, Qianye revealed a playful smile. "What, do you need me to revive Nohara Rin for you? But I wonder what she would do if she saw you in your current state?"

"Shut up." Obito interrupted Chiya, his face contorted with malice. "If you dare mention Rin again, I'll kill you even if it means we both die."

"Heh heh. Are you angry? You really are a romantic. Fine, fine, whatever. If you die, I won't get to see you become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."

Qianye chuckled lightly. Although he said that, there was not a trace of apology in his tone.

Madara frowned at this sight. He suddenly realized that the one who truly held the initiative was neither him nor Obito, but Chiya.

Qianye had grasped their Achilles' heel.

Meanwhile, after some twists and turns...

After retrieving the Death God Mask containing the Reaper Death Seal from Namendo, Orochimaru, Suigetsu, and Jugo, led by Sasuke, finally arrived at the stone chamber beneath the ruins of the former Uchiha Naga Shrine.

"First, we need to get the Shinigami's mask. The mask is kept in the Uzumaki clan's mask storage room at the far end of Konoha Village. We've already got it."

"Then you have to guide the Grim Reaper who has sealed the corpse to possess you. Once you cut open the Grim Reaper's belly, the sealed soul will be released and the seal will be broken. But the caster will become a sacrifice."

Orochimaru put on the Shinigami mask and explained how to undo the Reaper Death Seal while summoning a Shinigami.

As Death's blade fell.

Orochimaru and the Shinigami had their stomachs slit open at the same time.

Orochimaru's souls in both hands, as well as the souls of the First to Fourth Hokage, were also released.

"Jugo, quickly transfer the power of the cursed seal to Sasuke. This will cause the White Zetsu that Tobi placed on Sasuke to resonate with it and reveal its true form. Sasuke, Suigetsu, get ready."

"My soul returns to my hands," Orochimaru shouted urgently.

However, what he didn't know was that Erzhuzi was hiding not only White Zetsu, but also other things.

Of course, they'll find out about that very soon.

I just guess I'll be given a big shock.
