The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

"No, with this immortal here, no one can escape!"

Just then, a familiar voice rang out from all around, and a severed human head flew from afar and fell at Asuma's feet.

The crowd looked down warily and saw a head with gray hair and pale green eyes that were wide open in death. It was Kakuzu who had escaped.

Immediately, amidst a loud laugh, Jiraiya descended from the sky, landing not far away and striking the pose of one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

"Lord Jiraiya!"

When they saw Jiraiya appear and kill the fleeing Kakuzu, everyone's faces lit up with bright smiles.

Both Akatsuki members were wiped out, while Konoha suffered no casualties. This attack can be considered a great victory.

-----------------

At the same time, in Konoha.

On the balcony of the top floor of the Hokage Building, a spatial vortex suddenly formed, and Obito Uchiha stepped out from it, his scarlet Sharingan gazing at the Hokage Rock not far away.

Konoha, I'm back!

Chapter 178 The Eye of the Moon Project

Almost the instant Obito Uchiha appeared, figures wearing ANBU masks leaped out from the previously empty platform, surrounding the unexpected intruder.

"Bring out the Fifth Hokage, I have something to say to her."

Looking around at the Anbu, Obito, wearing an orange vortex mask, flashed a hint of disdain and spoke.

Despite experiencing several setbacks, Obito, who possessed space-time ninjutsu, firmly believed that if he wanted to leave, no one in the entire ninja world could stop him.

"Lord Hokage, Obito Uchiha has arrived! Please leave immediately!"

Shizune, who had rushed over, pushed open the door to the Hokage's office and looked at Tsunade, who was sitting in the Hokage's seat, and spoke.

"Obito Uchiha? That bastard actually dared to show his face again! Where is he?"

Tsunade suddenly stood up, took the Hokage hat that was placed to the side, put it on her head, and strode out of the Hokage's office.

Upon receiving the warning from the silence, Tsunade immediately sensed a cold chakra.

"Lord Hokage!"

Seeing Tsunade walk towards the stairs leading to the top floor, Shizune immediately tried to stop her.

"Enough talk! This is Konoha, and I am the Fifth Hokage! Protecting the village is my duty!"

With an incredibly domineering gesture, Tsunade stepped onto the stairs leading to the rooftop.

"Silence! Immediately notify everyone to evacuate civilians according to the highest level of security plan, and then immediately notify Jiraiya and Hyuga Sawatatsu to return!"

Seeing that Tsunade had made up her mind, Shizune understood the importance and urgency of the matter. She nodded in agreement and immediately turned to carry out Tsunade's instructions.

It seems that Akatsuki's attack on the Fire Temple was most likely a diversionary tactic, with their ultimate targets still Konoha and Naruto.

With each step Tsunade took forward, her chakra condensed, preparing her for a fierce battle.

No matter what, we will never allow Konoha to be destroyed!

After learning of Tsunade's orders from Shizune, figures shot out from the Hokage Building, heading in different directions.

Evacuating civilians is a huge undertaking that requires a large number of ninjas to maintain order.

As for Shizune, she hurriedly went to the communications team building, which was not far from the Hokage Building.

As soon as she reached the door, Jingyin's expression changed slightly.

The doors of the communications building were wide open, and there was no sound. A faint smell of blood could be smelled from inside.

As an excellent medical ninja, Shizune was confident that her judgment was correct.

Could it be that……

Silent's eyes narrowed. Instead of entering the door, she leaped up and reached the top floor in a few bounds.

All the ninja hawks kept on the top floor were dead, and two ninjas lay in pools of blood.

The enemy wants to cut off Konoha's connection with the outside world?

Shizune's face turned pale, and she instinctively clenched her fists.

-----------------

"Obito Uchiha, what do you want to do?"

After deliberately slowing down her pace and delaying for a minute, Tsunade appeared on the rooftop.

"My purpose."

Under the watchful eyes of many ANBU members, Obito Uchiha took a step forward.

"Regarding Project Eye of the Moon!"

Project Eye of the Moon?

Tsunade frowned, but did not interrupt Obito.

She also needed time to relocate the villagers and gather manpower. Seeing that Obito had no intention of making a move, she stopped the restless Anbu.

Where should we begin?

Obito Uchiha bent his knees and sat down on the spot.

"The so-called Eye of the Moon Project is to merge everything with me, to become a complete entity that controls everything."

Obito Uchiha extended his right hand and raised one finger. Such a simple gesture caused two ANBU members to instinctively stand in front of Tsunade.

"Don't make a fuss!"

Although she knew that these ANBU were doing their jobs well, Tsunade still felt that this was too much of a show of weakness to the enemy.

If Obito had a way to instantly injure Tsunade, these few Jonin-level Anbu members wouldn't be able to stop him.

"I don't understand what you're trying to say!"

Tsunade took two steps forward, standing at the forefront of the ANBU members, and addressed Obito Uchiha directly.

"The Uchiha clan has a stone tablet passed down through generations, which is still underground in Konoha. It contains secrets written by the Sage of Six Paths, which cannot be deciphered without the power of the eye."

"Only the Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan, and Rinnegan of the Uchiha clan can have their interpretations expanded in that order. He left a secret on the stone tablet that no one knows."

"The reason why the Sage of Six Paths is revered as the God of Shinobi is because he once saved the world from a certain monster."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's expression shifted slightly, and she immediately thought of the Ten-Tails that Hyuga Zetsu had once mentioned.

Regardless of whether what Obito Uchiha said is true or false, besides the Uchiha clan, could the Byakugan, or rather the Tenseigan, also see the contents of the stone tablet?

"It seems you are not entirely ignorant. That's right, it is the aggregate of all the tailed beasts, the being with the strongest chakra—the Ten-Tails."

As expected, the Akatsuki's target was the Ten-Tails.

Do they want to obtain the power of the Ten-Tails and then conquer the entire ninja world?

A look of unwavering determination flashed in Tsunade's eyes.

Whatever Akatsuki's plan is, we absolutely cannot let them succeed!

"In order to suppress the Ten-Tails, the Sage of Six Paths sealed it into his body, becoming the first Ten-Tails Jinchuriki in the ninja world. However, because the Ten-Tails was too powerful and evil, the Sage of Six Paths was worried that the seal would be broken after his death and the Ten-Tails would come out to cause trouble again. So, before he died, he used his last strength to divide the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine parts and scatter them to various parts of the ninja world. The Ten-Tails' main body, which had lost its chakra, was sealed and sent to the moon."

As Tsunade listened to Obito Uchiha recount these unknown secrets, her eyes blinked slightly.

"So, you want to gather up those scattered chakra and obtain the same power as the Sage of Six Paths?"

As a descendant of the Senju clan, after learning the name of the Ten-Tails from Hyuga Sawatatsu, Tsunade returned to her clan and searched through many ancient texts, confirming that the Senju clan was indeed a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths, and that these things that humans could not accomplish were indeed real historical events.

"That's right. As long as the Ten-Tails is resurrected and I become the new Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, I can use my powerful strength to enhance my eye power, then activate a ninjutsu to project my eyes onto the moon and create a large-scale genjutsu, Infinite Tsukuyomi, to cast a genjutsu on everyone in the ninja world, making the world one from then on."

Obito Uchiha's tone began to rise slightly, as if he could already see the world he had described.

"At that time, there will be no barriers or disputes in the world, and everything will be one with me. That will be my Eye of the Moon Project!"

Obito Uchiha stood up, looked at Tsunade, and spoke.

"There is no hope in this world; it's all just a perfunctory lie. Fifth Hokage, hand over the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to assist my plan. Otherwise, after today, Konoha will cease to exist!"

To enhance his persuasiveness, Obito Uchiha removed his mask, revealing the Rinnegan in the location of his other eye.

The ground shook violently the next moment, and the enormous Gedo Mazo rose from the ground and appeared in Konoha Village.

Chapter 179 Obito's Declaration of War

The Rinnegan, or the Ten-Tails' shell...

Tsunade clenched her teeth and fists. Although she had expected it, she was still caught off guard when this scene actually happened.

Leaving aside whether the combined strength of Konoha could defeat Obito, who possesses both the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan, and the Gedo Mazo, even if they did win, the entire village of Konoha would likely be destroyed.

As the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade would naturally prioritize the survival of Konoha Village before considering the safety of the ninja world.

Great-uncle, Second-uncle, what should I do?

As Tsunade waited for Obito's reply, she seemed lost in thought, her gaze drifting towards the Hokage Rock not far away.

There, the portraits of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, are perched high above, overlooking the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

-----------------

In the dark underground passage, under the command of Konoha ninjas, many villagers were orderly entering the shelter.

"Teacher Hong, leave this to us. You should go inside and rest for a bit."

After watching a group of villagers enter the shelter, Hinata wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned to look at Kurenai Yuhi, whose face looked slightly tired.

As a member of Team 8 and having the best relationship with Kurenai Yuhi, Hinata already knew that her teacher was pregnant.

"It's not even been three months yet, it's alright. Besides, don't forget, the teacher is a Jonin!"

Kurenai Yuhi gently stroked Hinata's blue hair and said with a smile.

"I've finally found you, Hinata."

Just then, Shizune arrived in a hurry, panting, and her face lit up with joy when she saw Hinata standing at the entrance of the shelter passage.

"Quickly, it's Uchiha Obito! Please contact Hyuga no Jin immediately, the Hokage may be in danger."
