Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 612 The Destruction of Kumogakure

Meanwhile, within the Land of Lightning.

Obito Uchiha is personally leading an attack on Kumogakure.

However, the farce here didn't last long. Black Zetsu seemed to have received some signal and turned to look at the "commanding" Uchiha Obito.

"Obito, the Raikage's genjutsu has been broken."

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha turned to look at Black Zetsu, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Is that so? That's to be expected. Then there's no need to continue here."

After saying that, Obito Uchiha slightly raised his hand, and all the attacking immortal puppets and White Zetsu army immediately stopped moving as if a switch had been pressed.

Meanwhile, most of the Cloud Village ninjas also withdrew their attack.

Only a very few Cloud Village ninjas, who still didn't understand what was happening, looked around at the strange 'battlefield' with some bewilderment, and slowly stopped what they were doing.

Before these Cloud Village ninjas could even figure out what was happening, one cold, sharp blade after another mercilessly pierced into the bodies of their most trusted comrades.

"Why? Why?"

As the last Cloud Villager died, his eyes filled with disbelief and agony, the entire 'battlefield' returned to deathly silence.

Feeling the eerily quiet 'battlefield,' Obito Uchiha casually walked forward and pushed open the gate of Kumogakure.

He walked in alongside Black Zetsu.

The Cloud Village ninjas on both sides behind the gate all bowed respectfully, as if welcoming the return of their leader, completely unaware that these were the enemies who had just fought them to the death.

Once inside the village, Obito Uchiha ignored the puppet-like Cloud Village ninjas and headed towards the Raikage's office.

His original plan was to at least use the Cloud Village's "Heavenly Delivery Technique" to kill the Tsuchikage and Kazekage.

If we could trick the Mizukage, Tachibana Kenkawa, into using the "Heavenly Delivery Technique" to return to the village and kill them all together, that would be even more perfect.

If the arrangements made by the Hidden Cloud Village are not exposed after this, the Zero Organization can continue to infiltrate the Allied Shinobi Forces, which will inevitably exist in the future, and launch a counterattack at a crucial moment to achieve final victory.

Unfortunately, none of these goals were achieved.

Fortunately, Kumogakure had already been thoroughly infiltrated by him, so even if Raikage A broke free from the illusion control, he would not be able to return and take over Kumogakure.

Now, all that matters is the real war that's about to begin.

"How are the other battlefields doing now?"

Upon arriving at the Raikage's office, Obito Uchiha unceremoniously took the seat of honor before asking Black Zetsu about the current battle situation.

"We have already completely breached the defenses of Iwagakure and Sunagakure, where we had White Zetsu planted as spies in advance."

"Chiyo and Ebizo died in battle in Sunagakure, and Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, was captured. Han, the Five-Tailed Jinchuriki, was captured by Sasori in Iwagakure."

"Neither Yagura nor Orochimaru lingered. After detonating the Zero-Tails White Zetsu, they quickly left the scene."

"Currently, both groups are on their way back with the tailed beasts. It is estimated that even including the ninjas who went out on missions, the number of casualties in Iwagakure and Sunagakure will exceed half."

Obito Uchiha nodded slightly upon hearing this; all of this was still within his plan.

Fearing that Tachibana Kenkawa might launch a surprise attack to provide support, resulting in further casualties among the regular members, their operation this time focused on a swift and decisive victory.

Before successfully capturing the Tailed Beasts, both the Undead Army and the White Zetsu Army primarily focused on destroying the enemy's manpower.

After capturing the tailed beasts, they directly used all the unstable Zero-Tails White Zetsu as bombs, detonating them in Sunagakure and Iwagakure villages to maximize the damage.

"Have Orochimaru been up to anything?"

"No, he's been behaving very well lately, and Scorpion will be keeping an eye on him, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

Seeing that Obito Uchiha continued to nod and did not ask any further questions about the matter, Black Zetsu decisively skipped the topic and continued.

"As for Kirigakure, as planned, Mouryou did not show up in person, but only sent a puppet army to launch an attack. It seems that they are unable to cause any damage to Kirigakure."

"However, it should be noted that Mei Terumi of Kirigakure also demonstrated the strength of a Special Grade fighter in this battle."

The "Special Grade Combat Power" that Black Zetsu mentioned refers to a strong person whose strength reaches the level of a Kage.

They are also specially marked by the Zero Organization and are enemies that need to be closely monitored in the upcoming plans.

Upon hearing that Kirigakure had gained another top-tier combatant, Obito Uchiha frowned slightly.

In the past two years, Kirigakure has grown from having only two top-tier fighters, Tachibana and Ao, to having Kisame Hoshigaki, Shingetsu Hozuki, Zabuza Momochi, and now Mei Terumi.

Obito Uchiha was genuinely afraid that if things dragged on for a few more years, the elite combat power of the Kirigakure clan alone would surpass that of the Zero Organization.

This is why he is now going to such lengths to launch the plan ahead of schedule.

Shaking off the unpleasant thoughts in his mind, Obito Uchiha continued to ask.

"What about Konoha?"

"Minato Namikaze has already returned to Konoha, and the nameless phantom clone should be unable to cause any more damage."

"Then let her be released and return as soon as possible. After that, we will need to work together to seal the two tailed beasts into the Gedo Mazo."

At this point, Obito Uchiha paused briefly, hesitated for a moment, and then pretended to be nonchalant before asking...

"Has the Four-Tails still not been found?"

In fact, Obito Uchiha always suspected that the Four-Tails, Roshi, was captured by another contingency plan left behind by Madara Uchiha.

However, the plan has already progressed to this point, and Black Zetsu still hasn't given up, which has made Obito Uchiha doubt his own guesses.

Black Zetsu naturally understood what Obito Uchiha was thinking, but he could only helplessly give a negative answer.

"It's not found; it's as if it vanished into thin air."

Black Zetsu had secretly found traces of Rōshi's blood, but unfortunately, he tried both summoning and Edo Tensei without any results.

In fact, Old Purple is currently still sealed and trapped in the 'Secret Space' by Tachibana Kenkawa. Unless Tachibana Kenkawa agrees, even if the Sage of Six Paths personally takes action, he probably won't be able to find Old Purple's location.

Obito Uchiha rubbed his temples in exasperation.

"Let's activate the backup plan."

"However, we must obtain either the Three-Tails or the Four-Tails, and it seems that the Three-Tails is the only option."

"Looks like we'll have to face that bastard Jianchuan Ju head-on eventually. It'll be time to start preparing those things!"
