The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

As Isobu's rotation slowed down, the Hamura statue suddenly released its hands, allowing Isobu to smash a huge hole in its chest with its remaining force. The freed hands then grabbed a long tail and suddenly exerted force, flinging Isobu's massive body directly into the air.

The outcome is decided!

Hinata Zetsu leaped up and instantly closed in on Isobu from below. As his palm touched the deep red skin on Isobu's abdomen, he left a mark of the Flying Thunder God technique.

"not good!"

Sensing something was wrong, Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan began to spin wildly, and he reached out to grab Isobu, trying to transfer the Three-Tails back into the Kamui dimension.

However, the slow activation speed is one of Kamui's relatively few weaknesses, especially now that Obito only has one Mangekyou Sharingan.

When the Flying Thunder God mark on Isobu's abdomen lit up, Isobu's figure suddenly disappeared, causing the space devoured by Kamui's distortion to lose its target.

"Good job!"

Although she didn't know where Hyuga Sawatatsu had moved the Three-Tailed Isobu, Terumi Mei was still overjoyed.

Mei Terumi was under immense pressure when she requested Konoha's reinforcements to seal the Three-Tails, on the condition of forming an alliance. The high-ranking officials of Kirigakure, including Genji, believed that the Tailed Beasts were one of the symbols of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. They argued that if outsiders were needed to successfully retrieve the Tailed Beasts, it would expose Kirigakure's weakness and allow Konoha to uncover Kirigakure's true strength.

However, considering that after the devastation caused by the Blood Mist Village, even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had left, and that the strength of the Mist Village was only slightly stronger than that of the Sand Village, which had lost its Kazekage and Jinchuriki, forming an alliance for self-preservation was the inevitable trend. Therefore, Mei Terumi persuaded Genji to extend an alliance invitation to Konoha.

In retrospect, Mei Terumi undoubtedly made the right choice.

Without Konoha's support, it would have been virtually impossible for Kirigakure to snatch the Three-Tails from Orochimaru and Akatsuki using only their own strength.

"Impossible, why can't I sense the presence of the Three-Tailed Isobu anymore?"

Obito, whose body had been transplanted with a large number of Hashirama cells, had an astonishingly wide range of perception. In particular, he was able to confirm that the genjutsu cast on the Three-Tailed Isobu had not yet been broken.

However, Obito can no longer sense Isobu's chakra, as if the giant turtle has disappeared from the ninja world.

Chapter 121 Three of the Nine Tailed Beasts Have Been Acquired

Is this the Three-Tails?

Hinata Zetsu immersed his consciousness into his own space, gazing at the increasingly irritable Isobu. With a thought, a pair of enormous Tenseigan appeared high in the sky.

Isobu, who had been relentlessly attacking, immediately lay motionless on the ground, his single eye, which had been dominated by crimson, gradually being covered by green chakra.

This is Hinata Zechen's home turf. The speed at which the Tenseigan covers the Mangekyou Sharingan's power is far simpler than Hinata Zechen imagined. In just a few breaths, when Isobu opened his single eye again, the Tenseigan's light was already visible.

Not only because the space isolated the inside from the outside, making the Sharingan power within Isobu's body without a source of water, but also because the Three-Tails Isobu is not a Jinchūriki, it has no consciousness of controlling its power, and it acts entirely on instinct, making everything go incredibly smoothly.

It can only be said that even among the nine tailed beasts, there are differences between them. Isobu is clearly at the bottom of the pack, and apart from his decent defense, he has no other strengths.

No matter how bad it is, it is still one of the nine tailed beasts, and we can't let it go to Kirigakure for nothing.

As the water surged, a water clone condensed and then manipulated the Three-Tails to open its mouth, allowing the water clone to enter the Three-Tails' body.

After a short time, the clone quickly located Isobu's heart and left a Flying Thunder God mark.

Oh, and chakra too.

A sphere of chakra condensed and began to continuously draw chakra from the Three-Tails, Isobu.

Including the One-Tailed Shukaku and the Nine-Tailed Kurama, the chakra of the nine tailed beasts has finally been collected by one-third.

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

After Isobu disappeared, the tense atmosphere on the lake immediately dissipated.

Although only three people came from Konoha, they were all elites, and with Mei Terumi leading the Kirigakure ninja as allies, they were enough to bring this battle for Isobu to a close.

The first to realize this fact was Guren. She had been watching from afar, but as soon as Isobu disappeared, she immediately picked up Yukimaru and left the lake without looking back.

Neither Konoha nor Kirigakure paid much attention to Guren's departure. At this moment, most of their attention was focused on Obito and Konan, the two Akatsuki members.

"Obito, come back to the village with us."

Seeing that Obito and Konan were already being surrounded, Kakashi couldn't help but speak up to persuade them.

"Go back? I can't go back anymore!"

Obito Uchiha put the orange spiral mask back on his face, then raised his arm and wiped it down, and his whole body disappeared into thin air little by little.

"Obito!"

Kakashi's pupils constricted as he attempted to unleash Kamui again, but he felt dizzy and lightheaded, clearly indicating that his chakra and body could no longer support him in using Kamui once more.

Splash...

Konan, standing to the side, suddenly shattered into pieces, transforming into sheets of white paper that shot out in all directions. Even though the Mist Ninja present launched attacks, they could only burn a small portion of the paper, and could only watch helplessly as most of the white paper disappeared from sight.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Hinata Sawatatsu did not make a move, but instead watched coldly from the sidelines.

"Young man, judging from your appearance, you must be from the prestigious Hyuga clan of Konoha. May I ask your name?"

Seeing the enemy leave, Mei Terumi walked gracefully closer, looked Hyuga Sawatatsu up and down, and then spoke with a smile.

I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?

Mei Terumi racked her brains, convinced that this was the first time she had seen the boy before her. However, her woman's intuition kept telling her that she must have had contact with him before.

When exactly was it?

"Hyuga Zechen, I've met the Fifth Mizukage. I never expected that, besides our Konoha, Kirigakure would also elect a female Mizukage."

Hinata Sawatatsu's gaze lingered for a second on the Mizukage hat that Terumi Mei had clipped to her waist before he slowly looked up and met her eyes.

"Have we met somewhere before?"

Their eyes met, and Mei Terumi's sixth sense became even stronger, so she couldn't help but speak.

"Lord Mizukage must have mistaken you for someone else."

Hinata Sawatatsu's smile remained unchanged, preventing Terumi Mei from gleaning any useful information.

"Oh right, I haven't thanked you for saving me yet."

Having gained nothing, Mei Terumi could only suppress her doubts and express her gratitude.

"Since we are allies, we should protect and support each other."

Before Hinata Sawa could speak, Yamato interrupted.

Logically, Mei Terumi, as the Fifth Mizukage, should have been dealt with by Kakashi, the leader of the mission team. However, Kakashi was currently distraught and seemed absent-minded, forcing Yamato to step in and use the few diplomatic phrases he had left in his mind.

"I wonder where you hid the Three-Tails Isobu? I think the Akatsuki won't give up easily. We must bring Isobu back to Kirigakure immediately to seal him away."

Mei Terumi glanced at Yamato, whose face was blank, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart before starting negotiations.

As one of the five great ninja villages, the Konoha team in front of us is full of talent: Kakashi the Copy Ninja, Yamato who has mastered the First Hokage's Wood Release technique, and Hyuga Zetsu, who seems to have mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and has a pair of peculiar eyes.

Looking across the entire Hidden Mist Village, apart from her, the Fifth Mizukage, there was no other ninja who could rival her. And this was merely the tip of the iceberg of Konoha's strength.

With this in mind, Mei Terumi strengthened her resolve to form an alliance with Konoha.

The Hidden Mist Village is now too fragile to withstand any further setbacks.

Hinata Sawatatsu turned to look at Yamato, and after seeing him nod, he casually pointed in a direction and rode off ahead.

"Kakashi-senpai, it's time to go."

Yamato, who had just taken two steps, turned around and glanced at Kakashi, who was standing still, and had no choice but to remind him.

Kakashi glanced blankly at Yamato, then silently followed at the back of the group.

After the lake returned to calm, countless sheets of white paper gathered from all directions and transformed into the shape of Xiao Nan.

After the spatial vortex spun several times, Obito stepped out from it and stared at Konan without saying a word.

"Should I call you Uchiha Obito, or Uchiha Madara?"

Konan looked at Obito, her tone carrying a hint of mockery.

"A name is just a code. Don't forget our mission: to bring the Three-Tails back to the organization."

Facing Konan, Obito resumed his deep voice, showing no change despite his identity being exposed.

"With just the two of us, it's probably impossible to forcibly seize the Three-Tails..."

Before Konan could finish speaking, Obito interrupted her.

"The ninjas of Konoha can't possibly escort the Three-Tails all the way back to Kirigakure. Once they separate, won't they have an opportunity to return?"

Once Hyuga Sawatatsu and Kakashi, who both possessed space-time ninjutsu, left, no matter how many people there were, it wouldn't matter to Obito.

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

"Isobu is inside."

In a valley several kilometers away, Hinata Sawatatsu broke a seal, revealing the three-tailed Isobu, which had been flipped over and was lying on its back in the cave.

"Please give my regards to the Fifth Hokage. The letter from the Allied Nations will be delivered to Konoha shortly."

After temporarily sealing the unconscious Isobu, Terumi Mei smiled brightly and Asahi blew a kiss to Sawa Tatsumi.

Chapter 122 Jinchūriki Version of Pain

"I'm finally back..."

On a mountain peak outside Konoha Village, Yamato gazed at the village bathed in the brilliant sunset and a rare smile appeared on his face.

This mission, though short, was quite thrilling, involving encounters with both tailed beasts and members of the Akatsuki organization.

Thinking of this, Yamato slightly turned his head and glanced at Kakashi on his back.

After parting ways with the group of Mist Ninja, the aftereffects of using the Mangekyou Sharingan flared up, causing Kakashi to collapse and quickly fall into a coma.

Fortunately, Hyuga Zetsu was there. With the help of the Flying Thunder God Technique, he traversed half of the ninja world and returned directly to Konoha's doorstep, saving time and energy on the journey.

"Let's go straight to the Hokage Building. Such a serious matter has occurred, and we must report it to the Hokage immediately and ask him to treat Kakashi-senpai."

After entering the gate, Yamato looked at Hyuga Sawatatsu beside him and spoke.

"it is good."

Hinata Zetsu was also very curious about Tsunade's reaction after learning Obito's identity, and did not reject Yamato's suggestion.

As soon as he entered the Hokage Building, Hyuga Zechen noticed that the atmosphere was obviously a bit off. Not only were there twice as many ninjas as usual, but they all had solemn expressions. One of the intelligence squad ninjas even used the Body Flicker Technique to get there and almost bumped into Yamato.

Has something major happened in the ninja world?

Upon entering the Hokage's office, I found several figures sitting inside.
