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

Chapter 389 Talk-no-Jack

"No, not yet. It's just four Tailed Beast Balls." Chiya revealed a mysterious smile.

As they were talking, Obito unleashed the Six Red Yang Formation again.

With a symbolic hand seal, Chiya unleashed the Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting the Third Generation's cushion out of the barrier.

The current Third Hokage, shattered by the Tailed Beast Ball, actually benefited him, as Chiyo wanted him to be in constant agony of his soul being torn apart.

With Chiyo sitting on his bottom, the Third Hokage, enduring the tearing pain in his eyes, looked at the four Tailed Beast Balls that were particularly conspicuous within the barrier, and couldn't help but be shocked.

He managed to speak, "Chiya, what exactly is your purpose, you bastard? Do you really have to watch Obito kill all the ninjas before you... ah..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chiya swung his Zanpakuto, pinning down his old bird, and then began to stir it wildly.

The screams of the third generation echoed throughout the entire battlefield, one after another.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to this "strongest Hokage of all time," because everyone's attention on the battlefield was drawn to the Tailed Beast Ball.

Rumble.

The Six Red Yang Formation, like a giant chimney, first expanded violently, then spewed out high-temperature gas from its top, enough to atomize everything.

The four Tailed Beast Balls exploded without any surprise.

The fully-formed Susanoo and Wood Golem, who were engaged in battle, along with their masters Madara and Hashirama, were instantly blasted into ashes.

Meanwhile, the Allied Shinobi and Sasuke, with Naruto and the Fourth Hokage connecting everyone's chakra, used the Flying Thunder God Technique at the last minute to teleport out of the barrier.

In an instant, the ninjas who had survived the ordeal began to cheer and jump for joy.

Only Shikamaru looked serious and sullen, because Chiya's words kept echoing in his mind.

He had a premonition that, just as Qianye had said, many people would die next.

"Ino, quickly use the Mind Transfer Technique on me!" Shikamaru said urgently, glancing at Chiya who was relentlessly tormenting Hiruzen Sarutobi not far away.

"What happened?" Ino was taken aback and looked in the direction Shikamaru had been looking earlier, asking with some confusion.

"There's no time to explain anymore, hurry up." Shikamaru's brows furrowed even more, and he had a bad feeling about it.

Seeing Shikamaru's reaction, Ino dared not delay any longer. She placed her right hand on Shikamaru's forehead and used the Mind Transfer Technique.

Just then, Naruto, who had discovered that the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki could not counter Sage Mode, combined the Nine-Tails' chakra with Sage Mode. With the help of the Second and Fourth Hokage, he used the giant Rasengan created by the Yin-Yang Nine-Tails to launch a surprise attack on Obito.

In their first encounter, he surprisingly fought to a standstill with Obito.

Seeing this, the Allied Forces, except for Sasuke who was unwilling to be left behind by Naruto, were greatly encouraged.

Almost everyone ignored Shikamaru's order to "stay as far away from the barrier as possible."

They believed they should cooperate with Naruto to defeat Obito in one fell swoop.

And so the tragedy occurred.

After Obito released the Ten-Tails in its final form, the God Tree, which had transformed into the Ten-Tails, frantically absorbed chakra.

Wherever it passed, all the Allied Shinobi who were touched by the Divine Tree were instantly drained of their chakra and died.

"Quite a few people have died." Qianye casually swung his sword, knocking away the divine tree branches that were trying to approach him from within a hundred feet.

Thanks to Chiya, a few Allied ninjas who were relatively close to him, such as the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and Shizune, were able to survive.

Looking around at everything, Shikamaru felt no joy at his survival. Instead, as if he had lost his soul, he collapsed to his knees with a thud.

Her body trembled slightly as she stared in disbelief at her own hands, wondering what she had done.

If they had listened to Chiya earlier and kept the Allied Forces away from Obito sooner...

Shikamaru's decline did not last long.

The ninja world is never short of inspirational stories.

At the crucial moment, Temari woke him up.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya, who had been lying dormant for a long time, took the place of the Third Hokage, who had originally saved Naruto and made a name for himself. He freed Naruto from the God Tree's restraints.

He was teleported by the second generation to stand in front of Zhuge Liang.

Then, Naruto falls into despair, while Sasuke receives Jugo's Sage Mode power and unleashes Sage Art: Susanoo. Naruto is inspired. With the help of Ino's Mind Transfer Technique, the Allied Forces are treated to a flashback to Sasuke.

Naruto and Sasuke began to fight Obito together.

"They really hit the jackpot. If Obito hadn't already wavered, those two guys would have been too many to take down."

Watching Naruto and Sasuke locked in a fierce battle with Obito in the sky, Chiya clicked his tongue in amazement.

Just then, Orochimaru, who had gone to rescue the Five Kage, arrived, but only the Raikage, who had recovered from his injuries, was able to move. Gaara and the Tsuchikage, the two unfortunate souls, were still bound by Senya's six-foot-long beam of light.

The Raikage managed to carry it through.

It's clear that Orochimaru doesn't have the ability to dispel the six-foot-long beam of light.

"Oh dear, isn't this our beloved Sarutobi-sensei? What happened to him? Did you anger Chiya-kun again?"

Orochimaru glanced at Chiya with considerable apprehension, then walked gleefully to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been turned into a human pig.

"Orochimaru, you...you bastard..." Hiruzen Sarutobi was almost unable to speak properly at this point.

His soul was so weak that it was on the verge of collapse.

"What a surprise, Orochimaru. You just came over like that? Don't you want to die?" Chiyo stood in front of them, her gaze still fixed on the battle between Obito and Naruto and Sasuke, and asked without turning her head.

"Look at what you're saying, Senya-kun. We don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other. We were even friends before, weren't we?" Orochimaru walked to Senya's side and smiled.

"I thought you came here to plead for your teacher and seek a release." Chiya smiled knowingly, glanced back at Hiruzen Sarutobi, and said in a deep voice, "At this rate, in seven days, Hiruzen Sarutobi's soul will be completely obliterated."

"He will continue to suffer the excruciating pain of his soul being torn apart for the next seven days."

Orochimaru felt a chill run down his spine, but remained outwardly calm. "Chiya-kun really does have the same twisted sense of humor as always."

Knowing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was beyond saving, he skipped the previous topic and looked at Obito, Naruto, and Sasuke, who were currently fighting, and asked, "Who do you think will win, Senya-kun?"

"In terms of strength, even ten Narutos and Sasuke wouldn't be able to defeat the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki," Chiyo gave Orochimaru an answer he hadn't expected.

"Could the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki really be that strong?" Orochimaru asked, his face filled with shock.

Chiya said, "Reaching the Six Paths level is beyond the scope of a ninja. Even if Truth-Seeking Balls cannot negate Sage Techniques, that's all there is to it; there is a fundamental difference between the two."

"Obito could have killed them anytime he wanted, he just didn't. You can probably guess why."

"Is this the power of talk-no-jutsu you always talked about?" Orochimaru licked his lips, a morbidly sinister smile appearing on his face. "It seems Naruto really has become a master of talk-no-jutsu, just as you said."
