The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 419 Konoha

One after another, the six Jinchuriki, from the Two-Tails to the Seven-Tails, were successfully captured by the Akatsuki organization.

The Akatsuki extracted the tailed beasts from their bodies one by one.

As the power of the tailed beast was injected, the Gedo Mazo, which was originally withered and emaciated, gradually came to life, as if it had been infused with a fresh soul. Its body began to become fuller, and it exuded a mysterious and powerful aura.

"Only the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails remain."

Obito Uchiha stood before the Gedo Mazo, his eyes gleaming with barely suppressed excitement.

For years, the grand and audacious dream he had cherished seemed to be within reach.

However, he also knew in his heart that the remaining two Jinchūriki were not easy opponents.

Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, is a perfect Jinchuriki. He achieved a deep synergy with the Eight-Tails Gyūki, making him extremely powerful.

In battle, he can not only freely utilize the power of the Eight-Tails, but also perfectly integrate it with his own ninjutsu, unleashing unimaginable combat power.

Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, was always regarded as a top priority by Konoha Village and was protected so closely that even Zetsu, who was skilled in concealment and intelligence gathering, was unable to find out any useful information about Naruto.

"Give the Eight-Tails to Sasuke," Obito Uchiha suggested to Pain after a moment's thought. "He has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and with its powerful abilities, he can effectively suppress the Tailed Beasts."

Just like the original story, Sasuke joined the Akatsuki organization through various coincidences and Obito's guidance.

However, during the battle with Deidara, the situation changed due to Wes's unexpected intervention, and Deidara did not lose his life as in the original story.

"Whatever you want." Wes responded indifferently to Obito Uchiha's suggestion.

Recently, the Akatsuki organization has suffered heavy losses. Hidan and Kakuzu, two members of the immortal duo, as well as the powerful Itachi Uchiha, have all perished for various reasons.

Now that Sasuke has been tricked by Obito into capturing the Eight-Tails, even if Sasuke were to die in the process, it would be irrelevant to Wes.

As for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki.

"I'll take care of it myself."

"With you taking action, everything will be foolproof," Obito quickly agreed, feigning relief. However, as soon as he turned away from Pain's sight, his expression instantly darkened, like the darkness before a storm.

"Zetsu~" Obito whispered.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jue's black and white figure slowly emerged from the ground.

"His strength is not right," Obito said with a frown and a serious tone.

He personally went to the place where Pain and Guy fought to see what was happening. The extent of the destruction there was beyond imagination. The terrifying destructive power was something that even activating Susanoo could not achieve.

Black Zetsu nodded.

The destructive power Kai unleashed after opening the Eight Gates had reached the level of the Six Paths.

Nagato definitely doesn't have that kind of strength.

"Has Nagato completely mastered the Rinnegan?"

A thought flashed through Obito's mind.

"Impossible. The Rinnegan belongs to Madara-sama; no one else could completely control it."

Black Zetsu decisively denied Obito's guess.

The two fell into a brief silence. The situation had clearly deviated from Obito's original plan, and how to retrieve the Rinnegan had become a major and thorny problem.

They were all at a loss for what to do and could only helplessly choose to take it one step at a time and adapt to the situation.

Meanwhile, after overcoming numerous dangers, Kakashi finally brought back crucial intelligence about the Akatsuki organization to Konoha.

Upon learning the news, Tsunade's expression turned grave. Without hesitation, she immediately recalled Jiraiya, who was traveling abroad.

Kakashi also took a few pictures of Pain. Tsunade looked at the pictures and felt they looked more and more familiar, but she just couldn't remember where she had seen them before. She only vaguely remembered that they seemed to have some kind of connection with Jiraiya.

When Jiraiya saw the photo, he immediately recognized it as his former disciple, Yahiko.

With a complex expression, he recounted in detail how he had taken in Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, three children in the Land of Rain, and taught them ninjutsu, as well as information about the Rinnegan.

Konoha's intelligence organization sprang into action. Combining the backgrounds of Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan with numerous clues such as the Akatsuki's past activities, they conducted thorough analysis and investigation, ultimately determining that the Akatsuki's headquarters were in Amegakure.

Upon learning this news, Jiraiya was extremely anxious and planned to sneak into Amegakure alone to gather information.

His idea was immediately and firmly stopped by Tsunade and the others.

After all, the strength that Tendo had displayed in his battle with Guy was too great, and everyone knew that if Jiraiya went there rashly, he would be sending himself to his death.

"The most important thing right now is Naruto. The Akatsuki's series of actions are clearly aimed at Jinchuriki," Tsunade said with a serious expression.

After hearing this, Jiraiya gradually calmed down.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Although he was concerned about what Nagato and the other two had gone through over the years, and his heart was full of doubts and worries, he was more worried about Naruto's safety.

After all, the Akatsuki organization was able to successfully invade Sunagakure and kidnap the Kazekage, so they certainly wouldn't let Konoha go either. It's not impossible for them to break into Konoha and capture Naruto.

"We have no choice but to take Naruto back to Mount Myōboku, and it's also the perfect time for Naruto's training to move on to the next stage."

Jiraiya pondered for a moment before speaking.

With such a powerful enemy, Naruto must quickly enhance his strength to cope with the impending crisis, and training in Sage Mode is undoubtedly a key step in improving Naruto's power.

So, Jiraiya and Naruto hurriedly left Konoha Village and headed to Mount Myōboku to begin their training.

At the same time, Konoha Village also entered a state of high alert.

Tsunade issued an order to recall many skilled ninjas who were on missions abroad and to organize the ninjas to evacuate civilians in an orderly manner.

This news spread like wildfire throughout the entire ninja world.

During the three Shinobi World Wars, Konoha Village had never been as on high alert as it is now, which has led many to speculate whether the legendary Uchiha Madara has been resurrected.

Tsunade's series of decisions were questioned by the two advisors and Danzo.

They thought Tsunade might be making a mountain out of a molehill and being too nervous.

However, Tsunade took a firm stance and resolutely ordered that all measures must be strictly implemented.

Soon, everything was ready. Konoha Village stood like a fortress, prepared to welcome the approaching enemy, like a turtle in a jar, waiting for the enemy to walk into its trap.

On this day, the sun shone brightly, and the sky was as blue as a jewel.

However, beneath the seemingly peaceful surface of Konoha Village lies a tense atmosphere.

"Would someone really attack the village?" a young ninja muttered to himself.

"Who knows? That's what the Hokage said anyway."

His companion next to him shrugged helplessly.
