The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Kurenai and Hinata both showed expressions of shock. Only now did they realize why the village had suddenly been placed under martial law.

"I understand."

Hinata nodded, took out the Flying Thunder God Kunai that Hyuga Zechen had given her from a specially made small pouch, and then channeled her chakra into it.

If she were to follow her heart, Hinata would not want Hyuga Sawatatsu to participate in such a dangerous battle. However, as a Konoha ninja and the daughter of the Hyuga main family, she naturally could not act according to her own whims.

As the Flying Thunder God Technique lit up, Hyuga Zechen's figure instantly teleported over.

"Hyuga Shinobu, now in the village..."

Upon seeing Hyuga Zetsu's appearance, Shizune was overjoyed. Just as she was about to inform him of the current situation in Konoha, she saw Hyuga Zetsu raise his palm.

“I’ve already sensed the Ten-Tails’ presence. Also, I happened to run into Lord Jiraiya, so I’ll bring him back with me…”

Before he could finish speaking, the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled violently, the source of which was the Gedo Mazo that had appeared in Konoha Village.

Has war already begun?

As dust settled in the shelter's passageway, Hyuga Zechen frowned slightly and grabbed Hinata's soft hand.

"Hinata, the village is too dangerous right now. Why don't I take you to a safe place to take refuge?"

However, Hinata, who always obeyed Hinata Sawatatsu's every word, shook her head with unwavering determination.

"Brother Zechen, I am also a Konoha ninja. You don't need to worry. I will protect myself."

Although Hinata Zechen already knew that Hinata's personality was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, he was still somewhat moved by Hinata's determined eyes at this moment.

"Alright. But let it stay with you, that way I can feel at ease."

Hinata Zechen took out a scroll and unfolded it. A cloud of white mist rose up, revealing the Kazekage Puppet.

After completing all this, Hinata Zechen's figure vanished without a trace.

"Hinata, don't worry, everyone will be alright."

Seeing Hinata's worried expression, Kurenai gently pulled Hinata into her arms to comfort her.

"Yes, definitely."

Hinata nodded firmly, forcing a slight smile.

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

Upon seeing Hyuga Zetsu's sudden disappearance, Jiraiya and Asuma exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness on each other's faces.

"Has something happened in the village?"

A minute later, Hinata Sawatatsu reappeared, and all eyes immediately focused on him. Jiraiya immediately asked him a question.

"Obito Uchiha appeared in Konoha and even summoned the Gedo Mazo."

A simple sentence caused Jiraiya's expression to change drastically, and he let Hyuga Sawatatsu's hand rest on his shoulder.

"I'll leave this to Shikamaru and the others. As a Konoha Jonin, I can't stand idly by."

Asuma, worried about Konoha and fearing for Kurenai and her unborn child, immediately volunteered as well.

Although there were doubts about Asuma's effectiveness, it was not an insurmountable burden to bring another person, so Hyuga Sawatatsu did not refuse.

Under the watchful eyes of Shikamaru and the others, the three figures vanished simultaneously.

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

"Well, Fifth Hokage, tell me your answer."

Obito Uchiha leaped backward and stood on the rooftop railing, looking down at Tsunade from above.

"As the Hokage, there is absolutely no way I can entrust my comrades in the village to you!"

Tsunade shifted her gaze from the portrait of Hashirama Senju on the Hokage Rock, her tone filled with determination and resolve.

"Well, I'm sorry to say, you've made the wrong decision. In that case, war is the only option!"

Before Obito could finish speaking, the Gedo Mazo let out a chilling roar, then bent its legs and charged forward with tremendous force, crashing down on Tsunade and the others like a mountain pressing down on them.

"Lord Hokage, please step back! Let us stop it!"

Under the enormous shadow of the Gedo Mazo, several Anbu members behind Tsunade leaped out and stood in front of her.

An operative wearing a bird-beak mask took the lead and was the first to form hand seals.

"Wind Release: Wind Cutting Technique".

Sharp wind blades condensed and landed on the demonic statue, but they couldn't even scratch its skin.

"Lightning Release: Four Pillars Binding"

Another member of the Dark Guard, wearing a fox mask, immediately changed tactics. Four giant stone pillars rose from the ground around the Outer Path Golem, forming a massive lightning barrier. Countless blue bolts of lightning erupted from the pillars, shooting and leaping across the Outer Path Golem's body. The dazzling lightning completely engulfed the Outer Path Golem, making it impossible to see what was happening inside the barrier.

Earth Release: Heavenly Cover!

Another member of the Dark Guard used the Body Flicker Technique to leap to the top of a giant stone pillar, forming hand seals and opening a spatial passage above the Gedo Mazo. A turtle-shaped pot lid, entirely green with two fangs, fell from it, pressing the Gedo Mazo down beneath it.

"They're quite spirited, Konoha's Anbu."

Obito Uchiha looked at the ANBU members, a slight smile playing on his lips, and let them do as they pleased without stopping them.

This level of coordinated ninjutsu might be enough to deal with a large summoning beast. But their current opponent is the Gedo Mazo!

The next moment, countless cracks appeared, causing the pot lid to shatter into pieces. The attacked Outer Path Demon Statue raised its arms and roared, unleashing a huge shockwave centered on the Outer Path Demon Statue.

boom!

Amidst billowing smoke and dust, wherever the shockwave reached, including the several members of the Dark Guard, everyone was involuntarily sent flying backward. The stone pillars that were trying to restrain the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path were also shattered, unable to stop the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's movements at all.

Chapter 180 All-Out Killing Ash Bones VS Demonic Statue of the Outer Path

"Lord Hokage, as a medical ninja, please evacuate from here first."

Seeing that their colleagues' attempts to restrain the demonic statue were ineffective, the remaining members of the Dark Guard became even more nervous and began to offer advice.

"Have you forgotten that there's a special rule in the medical ninja code I set?"

Tsunade formed hand seals, and the diamond-shaped Yin Seal on her forehead emitted a faint glow, while black lines appeared on various parts of her body.

"A medical ninja who is proficient in the Hundred Healings Technique of Creation Rebirth is permitted to break all rules!"

The release of chakra stored within the Yin Seal caused Tsunade's robes to billow slightly, and a large amount of chakra condensed into a tangible burst forth, causing Obito Uchiha's Sharingan to tremble slightly.

She truly deserves to be the first woman to inherit the title of Hokage.

However, even the four Kage working together couldn't stop the Gedo Mazo. It would be pointless for you, the Hokage, to resist alone.

"Suffer to death!"

Tsunade leaped up and charged forward without any cover, her clenched fist aimed at Obito's head.

Facing Tsunade, who exuded an imposing aura, Obito made no move, letting Tsunade fly through his body.

No, her target is the Gedo Statue?

Obito's punch missed, but he immediately noticed that Tsunade's speed had increased instead of decreased, and she continued to charge towards the Gedo Mazo while still in the posture of throwing a punch.

boom!

With the blessing of the Hundred Healings Technique, Tsunade's monstrous strength was terrifyingly enhanced. Her fist, completely disproportionate to her enormous size, slammed heavily onto the Gedo Mazo, producing a sound similar to bones breaking.

The Gedo Mazo, almost the size of the Hokage Rock, lost its footing after taking a punch from Tsunade. Its massive body crashed to the ground, destroying a large area of ​​buildings.

"It's useless. Such an attack is completely ineffective against the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"

Obito frowned as his body was swallowed by the spatial vortex.

The next moment, Obito appeared on top of the Gedo Mazo, and a strip-shaped object resembling a plant root tube extended from his body and inserted into the Gedo Mazo's body.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Obito Uchiha decided to personally manipulate the Gedo Mazo to capture Tsunade alive, and then use genjutsu to interrogate her to find out the location of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Although Killer Bee's hiding place, Turtle Island, was well-hidden and mobile, the Akatsuki had already grasped its approximate location thanks to the White Zetsu's pervasive infiltration, and dispatched the remaining Akatsuki members to retrieve the Eight-Tails.

The only exception was Mount Myōboku, where Naruto was located. It was completely impenetrable and there was no clue whatsoever, which forced Obito to personally take action and search for the whereabouts of Kurama.

"Fifth Hokage, are you prepared to accept the consequences of Konoha's destruction?"

With a shout, Obito Uchiha raised the Gedo Mazo beneath his feet, and a massive amount of chakra began to condense rapidly, forming a Tailed Beast Ball.

"I'll stake my Hokage title on this and I absolutely will not let you succeed!"

Tsunade's eyes widened in fury, and the chakra beneath her feet suddenly erupted, leaving large cracks in the ground. She appeared almost instantly beneath the Gedo Mazo, and once again unleashed a punch that slammed into the Gedo Mazo.

"Too naive."

Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan and Rinnegan rotated slightly at the same time, predicting Tsunade's attack trajectory in advance. Obito spread his right palm with five fingers, and a long wooden spike shot out from his palm, piercing towards Tsunade's location.

Wood Release: Wood Splinter Technique!

Is this Grandpa's Wood Release ninjutsu?

As the seemingly ordinary wooden spikes stretched out and pierced towards her, Tsunade's pupils contracted, and her ninja instincts began to scream in alarm.

If we continue to attack the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, we will likely die if we are hit by its attack, even if we are in the state of Hundred Healings Technique!

The Wood Release technique, known as the Wood Splinter Technique, is one of the most powerful single-target attack ninjutsu. Once it hits the enemy's body, it will continue to branch and grow, piercing through the enemy's body from the inside and instantly destroying the enemy's internal organs. It can be said that once the enemy is hit by this attack, there is almost no chance of saving him.

Should we continue the attack, or withdraw and avoid it?

Tsunade hesitated briefly.

If they choose to retreat, it is foreseeable that no one can stop the Gedo Mazo's Tailed Beast Ball, and once it lands in Konoha Village, it will be enough to destroy everything.

"As the Hokage, I absolutely cannot back down!"

In less than a second, Tsunade made up her mind.

With the Hundred Healings Technique, even the most severe injuries can be healed. But if the village is destroyed, what's the point of me, the Hokage, living?

boom!

The monstrous fist slammed into the Gedo Mazo's thigh again. Under the impact of the enormous force, the Gedo Mazo took two steps back, and the almost formed Tailed Beast Ball shook a few times in the tremor before disintegrating.

Sure enough, anyone who becomes Hokage is a fool just like the Fourth Hokage.

Obito Uchiha was not alarmed but delighted, having already foreseen the scene of the wooden spikes growing wildly inside Tsunade's body.

"The Lion's Mane Technique!"
