The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Just as things were about to turn around, a loud voice rang out, and a long whip made of white hair stretched out from a distance, wrapped around Tsunade's waist, and pulled her back, causing the wooden splinter that was stuck down to just barely graz Tsunade's face before piercing into the ground.

boom!

The next moment, sharp wooden thorns began to grow from the spot, resembling a thorny thicket that sent chills down one's spine.

"This is too reckless, Tsunade."

Jiraiya leaped over from a distance, his white hair rapidly contracting as he released Tsunade.

Jiraiya's face turned pale, and he was filled with lingering fear.

If they had arrived a moment later, they would probably have witnessed Tsunade's tragic death.

Even if Tsunade had activated the Hundred Healings Technique, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand the power of this cutting technique.

"Jiraiya, you've come back just in time."

Tsunade, on the contrary, appeared completely unfazed, greeting Jiraiya with a relaxed demeanor, showing no sign that she had just narrowly escaped death.

"Tch, have reinforcements arrived yet?"

Obito's gaze swept over Jiraiya, but he didn't pay him much attention.

What difference would it make if there were one more Legendary Sannin of Konoha? Obito, who possessed both the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan, didn't take Jiraiya seriously at all.

Having obtained the Gedo Mazo and the Rinnegan, Obito is now full of confidence and can achieve a crushing victory in a one-on-one battle against Konoha.

Ok?

No, according to Zetsu's information, Jiraiya was clearly not in Konoha Village, so how was he able to get back so quickly?

The purple Rinnegan trembled slightly, and Obito immediately noticed that a figure had appeared at the feet of the Gedo Mazo.

Hinata Sawatatsu.

He came too.

Excellent, this is the perfect opportunity to wipe them all out!

Even though he saw Hyuga Sawatatsu appear, and his chakra aura was quite strange, as if he was trying to attack the Outer Path Demon Statue, Obito didn't take it seriously.

The Gedo Mazo is so sturdy that even an S-rank ninjutsu could not leave a mark on it. Obito did not believe that Hyuga Sawa could do anything to the Gedo Mazo.

Then, under Obito's watchful gaze, a bone spike slowly emerged from Hyuga Sawatatsu's palm and pierced towards the Gedo Mazo's left foot.

Trying to stab an elephant with a toothpick?

The moment this ridiculous thought crossed Obito Uchiha's mind, he immediately sensed that the Gedo Mazo's vague consciousness was filled with fear.

Roar!

The bone spikes pierced the body of the demonic statue without hindrance, immediately causing the enormous creature to tense up and let out an extremely painful roar.

Chapter 181 Forcing Back

impossible!

A mere bone spur can be easily broken with two fingers; how could it possibly harm the heretical demon statue?

Moreover, even if it was injured, in terms of size comparison, it was no less than a toothpick piercing an elephant. Why would the demonic statue of the heretic be filled with fear, as if it were facing a fatal threat?

Before Obito could find the source, he felt the Gedo Mazo beneath his feet go berserk. An irresistible burst of chakra erupted from the Ten-Tails' body, forcefully rupturing the connection between Obito and the Ten-Tails, successfully breaking free from Obito's control.

This is impossible!

When he landed, Obito's eyes widened, and his Rinnegan trembled wildly as he tried to regain control of the Gedo Mazo.

However, in order to retain his own Mangekyou Sharingan, Obito Uchiha only transplanted one Rinnegan. His control over the Gedo Mazo was far inferior to Nagato's. Apart from vaguely feeling the pain and fear emanating from the Gedo Mazo, he couldn't even cancel the summoning jutsu to recall the Gedo Mazo.

A massive tail swept across, forcing Obito to hide his body within the Kamui dimension and halting his control over the Gedo Mazo.

"What exactly did you do to the Demonic Statue of Outer Path?"

Obito Uchiha stared intently at Hyuga Zetsu, who had retreated more than ten feet away, wanting to get the answer from him.

Hyuga Zechen smiled faintly, naturally not explaining anything to Obito, focusing most of his attention on the wounds of the Gedo Mazo.

The wound that was just a minor injury has now spread to the size of a bowl, with large amounts of grayish-white powder scattering everywhere, proving that even when facing the Gedo Mazo, Hyuga Zetsu, this half-finished All-Killing Ash Bones, can still exert powerful destructive force.

Aside from its slow spread and excessive chakra consumption, it's practically flawless.

It was only at this moment that Obito Uchiha, following Hyuga Zetsu's gaze, noticed the wound on the thigh of the Gedo Mazo.

Most importantly, with Obito's keen observation skills, it's not hard to see that the wound is spreading at an extremely slow rate.

According to Madara Uchiha, the Ten-Tails is the progenitor of chakra. How could it possibly possess an attack capable of harming the Gedo Mazo?

Obito Uchiha was unusually at a loss, unable to accept the cruel reality before him.

If the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is destroyed, wouldn't that mean the complete failure of the Eye of the Moon Project?

Roar!

As the Ten-Tails roared once more, its indestructible body suddenly softened and began to tremble violently.

A huge fleshy ball suddenly swelled up above the thigh where Hyuga Zechen had been stabbed, and then gradually split apart, completely separating the stabbed thigh from the torso.

The separated thighs first shrank into a huge ball of flesh, then stretched out again, forming a smaller version of the Ten-Tails' split form. It was over two zhang tall, and its whole body appeared quite fat and cumbersome. It had two horns on its head, thorns growing on its back, and its hands were holding a ball of flesh that looked like a dumbbell, the purpose of which was unknown.

However, after running only two steps, the split thigh, having lost the support of the Ten-Tails' chakra, experienced a massive grayish-white wound that spread visibly throughout its body. Numerous cracks continued to spread, and in just over ten seconds, it completely turned into white powder that drifted away in the wind.

"Well done, kid!"

The sound of wind breaking rang out beside Hyuga Zechen, as Jiraiya and Tsunade landed on either side, their faces showing excitement.

The terrifying aspect of the Gedo Mazo lies not only in its numerous wide-range attacks, including the Tailed Beast Ball, but also in its impenetrable shell defense. Even when several Kage-level powerhouses join forces, they can hardly inflict any damage on the Gedo Mazo, and can only passively defend themselves with no hope of victory in sight.

Now, Hyuga Sawatatsu has demonstrated his ability to severely injure the Gedo Mazo, much to the delight of Jiraiya and Tsunade.

Otherwise, if the Gedo Mazo were to launch an unbridled attack under Obito's orders, the entire Hidden Leaf Village would surely be destroyed.

"In fact, I didn't expect that technique to cause such great damage to the Ten-Tails. If I had known, I would have attacked vital organs such as the head directly."

Hinata Sawatatsu appeared full of regret, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.

The power of the Ash Bones against the Outer Path Demon Statue was indeed beyond Hyuga Zetsu's expectations, but completely destroying the Ten-Tails would obviously not be in Hyuga Zetsu's interest.

It wasn't just Obito Uchiha and Madara Uchiha who wanted to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki!

"Haha, from now on, the two of us will assist you and make sure to completely eliminate Obito Uchiha and the Ten-Tails!"

Jiraiya laughed and spoke.

While Konoha's morale soared, Obito Uchiha felt that things were completely out of his control.

Why did Obito dare to venture into Konoha alone and challenge the village by himself? Besides knowing that Kakashi was not there and no one could break Kamui, he relied more on the power of the Gedo Mazo.

Now that Hyuga Zetsu has mastered the method to severely injure the Gedo Mazo, Obito immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

Once the Gedo Mazo is destroyed, not only will the seven tailed beasts that were painstakingly retrieved take the opportunity to escape, but the Eye of the Moon Plan will also be completely ruined. This is something that Obito Uchiha cannot accept under any circumstances.

The only motivation that kept him alive in this hopeless world was to create a perfect world with Rin. Therefore, the Gedo Statue could not be lost.

The only consolation for Obito was that after separating the damaged body, the Gedo Mazo's vague resistance to manipulation disappeared, allowing Obito to regain control of the Gedo Mazo.

It seems we have no choice but to retreat this time.

Seeing Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Hyuga Sawatatsu charging towards them in formation, Obito Uchiha, with a gloomy expression, immediately made up his mind.

"Ninja Art: Lion's Mane Technique".

Jiraiya launched the first attack, flicking his waist-length white hair, which had become as hard as steel needles, and thrusting it straight at Obito Uchiha.

As expected, the hairpins, powerful enough to riddle an enemy with holes, pierced through Obito's body, clearly indicating that Obito had placed his true form within the Kamui dimension.

"Go to hell!"

Tsunade leaped up from beside Jiraiya, gathering a large amount of chakra in her legs, and delivered a flying kick to the Gedo Mazo.

With only one leg remaining, the Gedo Mazo was clearly unable to dodge. Its two enormous hands crossed in a very human-like manner to protect its front, and it took the full force of Tsunade's heavy stomp.

boom.

The Painful Heaven Kick, a taijutsu developed by Tsunade, is not only more powerful than the Super Strength Fist, but its power is also transmitted to the body through the arms of the Gedo Mazo, causing the Gedo Mazo's single leg to lose its balance and its massive body to crash to the ground.

opportunity!

Following closely behind Tsunade, Hyuga Zetsu raised his palms, and two bone spikes were squeezed out, aimed at the Gedo Mazo that had lost its balance.

Whoosh!

The next moment, two bone spurs shot out and flew towards the demonic statue.

I don't think about it!

Obito Uchiha's Rinnegan trembled slightly, and he immediately canceled the summoning jutsu.

Bang!

The enormous demonic statue vanished instantly, leaving behind only a large amount of white mist that rose up and obscured the view.

Chapter 182 Is Nagato Dead?

opportunity!

Jiraiya's fighting instincts allowed him to instantly form hand seals, his right hand forming a claw and placed near his mouth, unleashing a fireball larger than his body that shot towards Obito Uchiha.

Fire Release: Flame Bullet.

If he were hiding in another dimension, he would be unable to cancel the summoning jutsu. Jiraiya's rich combat experience allowed him to make this judgment immediately.

"Even if you are one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, using Fire Release in front of the Uchiha clan is a gross underestimation of me, isn't it?"

Obito Uchiha's gaze sharpened, and he also took a deep breath. The Uchiha's signature ninjutsu, Great Fireball Technique, erupted from his mouth, heading towards Jiraiya's fireball.

The two enormous fireballs collided, unleashing an intensely hot aura that caused the space itself to distort slightly.

The next moment, Obito Uchiha raised his head slightly, and his Sharingan and Rinnegan locked onto a figure that was growing larger and larger.

"Spiral pills!"

Using the flames as cover, Jiraiya leaped high into the air, a ball of blue chakra condensing in his hand, and slammed down on Obito Uchiha.

Isn't this the same ninjutsu that the Fourth Hokage used back then?
