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

Chapter 391 The Two Pillars Trapped at the Tail

"Obito, do you know why I didn't kill you?" Chiya asked mockingly, his left hand in his pocket and his right hand gripping the dying Obito.

At this moment, Obito was on the verge of death. If it weren't for the Gedo Mazo sealed within his body that hadn't been removed by Chiya, he would have died long ago. He wouldn't have had the strength to reply.

Chiya continued, "Because the Gedo Mazo is sealed within you, when the Jinchuriki dies, the Tailed Beast within him will also perish. I don't know if the Gedo Mazo might cause any accidents because of your death, so I'm sparing your life for now."

He did not deliberately conceal his voice, and since Naruto, Sasuke, and the Allied Forces were not far away, everyone could hear him clearly.

"Brother Chiya, please stop!" Naruto shouted as he stepped forward, seeing Obito being grabbed by the other side.

"Don't be so naive, Naruto." Sasuke grabbed Naruto's shoulder, his crimson Mangekyou Sharingan fixed on Chiya. "See? Obito's left eye has been taken by that guy. Only those who possess the Rinnegan can control the Gedo Mazo."

"In other words, if this guy in front of me becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki like Obito, he will become an even more terrifying existence."

"Moreover," Sasuke pondered for a moment, glancing at the tailed beasts around him, "including the Nine-Tails inside you, all the tailed beasts around us will also become his targets."

Upon hearing this, the tailed beasts, who had just regained their freedom, immediately revealed a dangerous glint in their eyes; they had no desire to return to the Gedo Mazo.

"Everyone, let's join forces and take him down in one fell swoop. We absolutely cannot give him a chance to transplant the Rinnegan. Otherwise, we'll all be locked up in that dark, sunless place again."

Among the tailed beasts that had just regained their freedom, the Four-Tails, which had been captured by Chiya and hated him the most, shouted, and all seven tailed beasts gathered their Tailed Beast Balls.

"Hey, Four-Tailed Fox, wait!" Nine-Tailed Fox was shocked. It knew how troublesome this human was.

At the same time, the Eight-Tails, who had been tormented by Chiyo, also spoke up, "This human is no ordinary being."

"Heh," the One-Tail, who was accumulating Tailed Beast Balls and was at odds with the Nine-Tails the most, sneered and mocked, "The Nine-Tails has always prided itself on being the strongest of the nine tailed beasts, yet you are afraid of a mere short human. And the Eight-Tails, if you're afraid, you might as well hide in an octopus can."

After saying that, the seven tailed beasts simultaneously released their tailed beast balls at Chiyo.

"Tailed Beast Ball!" x7

Seven purplish-black spheres, each several feet in diameter, suddenly burst forth from the mouths of the first to seventh tails, transforming into seven afterimages that covered Qianye with lightning speed.

A slight smile played on Chiya's lips as he murmured, "Binding Spell #81: Dagger of the Void!" just as the Tailed Beast Ball drew near.

Rumble.

The Tailed Beast Ball erupted with a deafening roar, accompanied by endless light and heat. Seven intersecting giant orbs of light, like dazzling suns, caused all the Allied Forces ninjas to be temporarily blinded, instinctively raising their hands to shield their eyes.

Even so, many people were blown away by the terrifying blast wave generated by the explosion.

"Brother Chiya!" Naruto cried out, knowing there would be no response in this situation.

With a casual gesture, he controlled his Susanoo armor, catching several Allied Shinobi who were being blown away. He shouted urgently, "Everyone, hold on tight to the chakra ropes you used in the tug-of-war! A storm is coming!"

After saying that, he controlled the nine tails that covered Susanoo, gathered them together, and formed a shield in front of the allied forces.

The Eight-Tails also made the same move.

As for the other seven tailed beasts, they looked excitedly in the direction of the explosion.

They wouldn't be so kind as to care about the fate of the Allied Forces; at most, they would temporarily set aside their hatred for humans and refrain from attacking because of Naruto.

As the explosion gradually subsided, a huge crater several hundred meters in diameter appeared between the nine tailed beasts and Chiyo. This was only because the center of the explosion was in the sky; otherwise, the destructive power would have been even greater.

Looking at Chiya again, he was still carrying Obito in his hand, and in front of him, a giant transparent wall had appeared out of nowhere.

White smoke from the aftershocks of the explosion still lingered on the wall.

With a snap, the transparent wall shattered, but Qianye was unharmed.

"How is this possible? They actually withstood seven Tailed Beast Balls at the same time!" someone in the Allied Forces exclaimed in surprise. Sasuke and the nine Tailed Beasts also had extremely strange expressions.

Especially Erzhuzi, whose handsome, sword-like eyebrows were almost twisted together.

That despicable guy always comes up with so many new tricks.

"I originally wanted Madara to deal with you guys, but since you dared to attack me, I'll put collars on you beforehand."

Qianye chuckled softly, his right hand symbolizing something.

The ground erupted.

A nine-headed wooden dragon, even larger than the tailed beasts, burst forth, most of its body protruding from the ground, spiraling outwards to cover the nine tailed beasts.

"Everyone be careful! This is the First Hokage's Wood Dragon Technique, which can absorb chakra and bind tailed beasts!" shouted the Nine-Tails, which covered Susanoo.

Without him saying anything, Sasuke had already taken action, snatching control of the Susanoo from Naruto's hands in the first instant, condensing the Susanoo Blade, and slashing at the oncoming wooden dragon.

Clang.

A shocking scene unfolded: the Susanoo Blade that had previously 'shattered' Obito's Tenma Spear seemed to have struck some kind of hard object after hitting the wooden dragon.

It actually produced a sickening metallic scraping sound.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The Wood Dragon and the Mighty Susanoo retreated several hundred meters each, and the aftershocks they created caused the nearby Allied Ninjas to be thrown into disarray, their bodies thrown about and their heads spinning.

The Nine-Tails is covered by Susanoo, making it both offensive and defensive.

But the other tailed beasts weren't so lucky.

In the instant that Sasuke clashed with the wooden dragon, almost without exception, they were bound by the large wooden dragon, frantically absorbing its chakra, and their massive bodies gradually went limp.

"This is bad, Naruto. This Wood Dragon Technique seems even more powerful than Madara's and the First Hokage's. Be careful." Kurama glanced at the eight tailed beasts who were bound, his expression grave.

"Does fighting really have to be the only option?" Naruto lowered his head dejectedly.

"Cheer up, Naruto!" Kurama shouted, but Naruto seemed not to hear him, as if he had completely lost his fighting spirit.

Naruto never expected that things would end up like this.

Facing off against his most respected and admired elder brother, Qianye, on the battlefield was the last thing he wanted to do.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you. You just keep an eye on things from the sidelines."

Sasuke's pair of scarlet Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan stared at Chiya, who was slowly descending onto the top of the wooden dragon's head. Deep within his pupils, a faint glint of excitement flickered.

Compared to Naruto, who had lost his fighting spirit, he seemed more eager to fight Chiya.

"The sky has cleared, the rain has stopped, Sasuke. It seems you think you're all that now that you've mastered a Susanoo as powerful as Madara's," Chiyo laughed. "It's a pity your Susanoo can't reach its complete form, just like Naruto's Nine-Tails."

"I remember that when the First Hokage fought Madara, he used Sage Mode, the True Sage Hand. Since that's the case, then I'll let that scene repeat itself."
