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

Chapter 429 A Battle of Wits and Courage

The 10-strong ninja alliance, like a black torrent, gathered imposingly on the border of the Land of Rain.

The sunlight shone on their resolute faces, reflecting their unwavering determination to die for their cause.

The Raikage, a burly ninja exuding a powerful aura, shouldered the heavy responsibility of being the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces.

"Set off!"

At the Raikage's command, 10 ninjas boldly entered the territory of the Land of Rain, heading straight for Amegakure.

The five Kage, as the core force of the Allied Shinobi Forces, sat in the center of the team. Their presence was like a pillar of strength, instilling immense confidence in the Allied Forces.

However, just as the allied forces were about to approach Amegakure Village.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Deafening explosions rang out one after another, like muffled thunderclaps in one's ears.

"It's a trap!" The vanguard unfortunately stepped into a trap carefully set by the enemy. In an instant, flames soared into the sky, smoke filled the air, and screams echoed.

"Earth Release: Earth Split Palm!"

Seeing this, Huang Tu shouted loudly, leaped high into the air, and slammed his fist hard into the ground.

In an instant, the earth was torn apart, and the land in front of them quickly cracked open, forming ravines that successfully destroyed part of the trap.

Before the allied forces could even catch their breath, a white expanse suddenly appeared in the sky, falling like snowflakes.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be spiders made of clay.

After landing, the spiders quickly crawled onto the bodies of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"Art is an explosion! Drink!!"

With a wild shout, Deidara rode atop the C2 dragon.

He kept throwing clay bombs at the ground with both hands, a maniacal smile on his face.

"boom!!"

Bombs exploded one after another, flames shot into the sky, and powerful shockwaves swept in, instantly hitting countless ninjas, whose screams filled the air.

"Ha ha ha, witness my art!" Deidara laughed wildly, enjoying the "artistic feast" brought about by the explosion.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Needle!"

A team of Lightning Release ninjas reacted quickly.

They formed hand seals, and bolts of lightning shot out like needles, intercepting the bombs in mid-air.

Under the influence of lightning, the bomb became a dud in mid-air, losing its lethality.

"Tch~" Deidara clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction upon seeing this.

Clearly, the leak of intelligence significantly reduced the effectiveness of his bombs, making them no longer as effective as before.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Just as everyone was dealing with Deidara, countless poison needles suddenly shot out from the dense forest, flying towards the Allied Shinobi Forces like raindrops.

"It's a scorpion!" someone shouted.

Scorpion lurked in the shadows, manipulating mechanisms to launch attacks. Iron spikes mercilessly pierced the bodies of many ninjas, splattering blood everywhere.

Not only Sasori, but other members of the Akatsuki also joined the fight.

Under their combined attack, the vanguard of the Allied Shinobi Forces suffered heavy casualties, and the situation instantly became extremely dire.

"Damn it!" Upon seeing this, Raikage angrily slammed his fist into the desk next to him, instantly shattering the sturdy desk into pieces.

"Second Regiment, advance!"

His orders were quickly relayed through the sensory ninjas.

Immediately, tens of thousands of ninjas sprang into action, rushing forward in an attempt to turn the tide.

The Akatsuki organization was not to be outdone.

One by one, strange white creatures appeared.

This was the army of 10 White Zetsu. They had no emotions and felt no pain. Like the most fearless suicide squad, they rushed madly towards the Allied Shinobi Forces.

The Allied Shinobi Forces were suppressed by the White Zetsu army's onslaught, and their advance became extremely difficult.

"The most urgent task is to deal with the Akatsuki's top members before Pain can eliminate his supporters."

Tsunade made the suggestion with a solemn expression.

"I'll take care of Deidara." Onoki floated slowly into the air, his eyes resolute.

Deidara was once his disciple.

He decided to take matters into his own hands and clean house.

Ebizo also stood up, his eyes blazing: "Leave Scorpion to me."

Each ninja village has its eyes on its own rogue ninja.

Soon, Sasori, Deidara, Kisame, and the others were all caught in a fierce battle.

In Amegakure, the common people had already received the news and fled, leaving the entire village deathly silent.

Obito Uchiha, with a cold expression, strode towards the tower where Pain was located, followed by a group of people.

These people are the Kage of the five great ninja villages who were resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation—the Second Mizukage, the Third Raikage, the Fourth Kazekage, and the Second Tsuchikage.

They were completely under Yakushi Kabuto's control.

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

Obito had only one goal for this trip—to reclaim the Rinnegan and remove obstacles to his plans.

With Kabuto's help, Obito Uchiha felt he had a better chance of winning.

As he stepped into the tower, he proceeded with extreme caution, wary of any potential dangers. However...

However, when he ventured deeper into the tower, he found it eerily quiet and deserted.

【What's going on?】Obito was filled with doubt, and the unusual silence made his nerves even more tense.

He couldn't help but speculate.

Did he go to the front lines?

Even so, the entire tower was not completely undefended.

Filled with suspicion, he cautiously made his way to the top floor.

However, Payne was nowhere to be found on the top floor either. The only thing that stood out in the empty room was a bright red cloth covering the table in the very center of the room.

Obito's alarm bells rang loudly. He slowly approached the table and carefully reached out to untie the red cloth.

What came into view was a transparent test tube, in which two Rinnegan eyes were floating quietly, emitting a mysterious and eerie light.

"It's a trap!" That was Obito's first reaction.

Without hesitation, he used the Body Flicker Technique to instantly create distance like a ghost, while quickly taking out a kunai and throwing it at the table, trying to test if any mechanism had been triggered.

The kunai struck the table precisely, but made no sound.

Obito did not let his guard down; he used various reconnaissance methods to thoroughly search the small space.

Outwitting and outmaneuvering the air

"Is this guy the Joker?"

The Second Mizukage couldn't help but complain.

The Third Raikage snorted coldly.

Although their bodies are controlled by Kabuto Yakushi, their wills remain free.

They deeply loathe Yakushi Kabuto and Obito, who reborn them from the Pure Land and controlled them.

After a while of searching, they found nothing unusual.

After much hesitation, Obito finally picked up the test tube.

He carefully examined it and confirmed that it was true.

The Rinnegan was obtained so easily.

However, he felt no joy whatsoever, because the matter was far too bizarre.

Where did Nagato and Konan go?

Why would the Rinnegan be left here so easily, as if it were deliberately waiting for him to come and retrieve it?

Too many questions swirled in Obito's mind. He had a vague feeling that an invisible hand was secretly controlling everything.

Unfortunately, Obito's mind wasn't very sharp, and he couldn't figure out the situation for a while.

Moreover, the battle between the Allied Shinobi Forces and the Akatsuki outside had reached a fever pitch, and the Allied Forces were about to break in. The urgent situation left him no time to think.

"No matter who the enemy is, with the Rinnegan in hand, no one can stand against me!"

Obito gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the unease in his heart, and tightly gripped the test tube containing the Rinnegan.
