It's just a pity for Obito, the Tsuchikage, and the Raikage; from beginning to end, they were completely unaware that they were merely pawns in the game between Mugetsu and Black Zetsu. They were kept in the dark.

Chapter 0443 Swallowing a Tail

吼[

A terrifying roar echoed in the center of the Konoha arena.

This Gaara had completely lost his human form, transforming into a terrifying monster. He roared as his body shot towards the future like a cannonball.

Only one thought occupied his mind: destruction! To annihilate the enemies before him, these insignificant humans! To let their blood stain the entire earth!

"Is this what a Jinchuriki's rampage looks like?" Mirai focused her mind and dodged the opponent's first attack with incredible speed, landing back on the ground. She then extended her arms, forming hand seals.

Lightning Release: Thundercloud Blast!

Zzzzz, zzzzz.

Terrifying lightning rapidly spread throughout her body, making her appear like a lightning goddess descending from the sky, radiating power and magnificence.

Dragon Fist!

An arm crackling with electricity was raised high, and a fist was thrown forward at incredible speed.

Boom!

This punch, number 043, struck Gaara squarely in the chin, sending him flying. He spun several times in mid-air before finally landing. For an ordinary person, this punch would have likely caused their head to explode.

However, Gaara, in his Jinchūriki state, was clearly unharmed. He quickly stood up again.

"Troublesome." Future frowned, letting out a soft sigh. "This guy seems even more troublesome than I imagined."

Awoo!

With another roar, Gaara's body suddenly grew even larger. A gray tail extended from his back and grew wildly.

"I'll kill you!" His tone was no longer as sharp as before, becoming extremely shrill. It even sounded somewhat jarring to the Future. The massive sand-like arm rose and slammed into its own abdomen.

Wind Release: Sky Bullet Training!

Bang.

A ball of highly pure Wind Release chakra condensed and shot towards the future.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!

In the future, she reacted swiftly, forming a hand seal and slamming her hands into the ground. With a rumble, a massive clay wall rose into the air, blocking her path.

Bang.

The Wind Release and Earth Release techniques collided, instantly shattering the entire earthen wall. Smoke and clods of earth scattered everywhere, filling the air with dust.

Ok?

Suddenly, Wei Lai realized something was wrong. She felt the ground beneath her tremble slightly, as if an earthquake had struck. "This, this is..."

Sure enough, as the smoke cleared, Gaara appeared before her, as if he had taken hormones, instantly growing larger. From his original two or three meters tall, he surged to over ten meters. His terrifying and enormous size, like a mountain, looked down upon her insignificant form.

"Hey, isn't that a bit unfair?" Future's lips twitched. She had never dealt with such a large enemy before, and just its size made her feel like she didn't know where to start.

On the other side, the fully-formed One-Tailed Shukaku had no intention of wasting any time talking to her. He simply tilted his head back and unleashed a Tailed Beast Bullet.

Rumble.

The earth shook violently. The immense power of the Tailed Beast Bomb blasted a huge crater into the entire arena.

Thunder Release Chidori Rasengan!

On the side of the deep pit, Mirai, enveloped in lightning, half-closed her eyes, her right hand spinning rapidly like a top. She hurled the lightning towards Shukaku opposite her.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

The power of the Chidori Rasengan was truly formidable. Even against such a colossal enemy, its effectiveness remained outstanding. Half of Shukaku's body was shattered by the immense energy of the Lightning Release. Quicksand, like blood, slid down Shukaku's side.

However, the quicksand quickly condensed again in the next moment, repairing Shukaku's body.

"How could this be!" Mirai was stunned. She hadn't expected that the other party would have such a foul recovery ability.

How to do? !

At this moment, she began to panic. Her chakra was finite, and after such a long battle, her chakra reserves were almost depleted. If the fight continued like this, she feared she would be worn down and killed.

So, without any hesitation, she decisively used her strongest move, opening her mouth and shouting, "Papa! Come save me!" That's right, this was the legendary Great Summoning Spell.

Others use blood to summon their summoned beasts, but she decisively calls them "Dad." This isn't shameful; it's a tactic!

In fact, this tactic could be considered quite successful. Just as Shukaku was about to unleash another Tailed Beast Bullet at her, a white figure suddenly appeared.

Black Dragon!

A massive black dragon head suddenly extended, opened its mouth, and swallowed the Tailed Beast Bullet whole. Furthermore, its momentum didn't diminish; it lunged at Shukaku at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Ow.

Shukaku finally felt fear. From the black dragon's head, it sensed an aura of destruction. But at that moment, there was no escape. The instant the black dragon bit it, its chakra drained away like a burst dam.

This is a feast.

In the eyes of the Chaos Dragon without a moon, the massive tailed beasts were nothing more than food. Even the strongest of the tailed beasts, the Nine-Tails, could not escape the fate of being devoured, so the One-Tail was even more like a lamb stripped naked.

This time, Mugetsu didn't deliberately distinguish between Gaara's and Shukaku's chakra during the absorption. As for this little panda-eyed guy, he wasn't from his village, and yet he dared to lead the trouble, so Mugetsu naturally showed him no pity.

Chapter 0444 Invincible Stance

"How is this possible... How is this possible?!" On the stage, Kankuro stared blankly at what he saw, his face filled with shock. "What is that W? It's actually... it's eating a tailed beast!"

"?! So that's the origin of the title 'Konnoha Celestial Dragon'?" Temari trembled, her expression filled with disbelief. Then, as if realizing something, she exclaimed, "Oh no! Gaara, Gaara is in danger!"

"Wait, don't go over there!" Kankuro grabbed her and said, "Do you think the two of us can save Gaara? Impossible, don't even think about it!"

"But, but no matter what, he's still our younger brother!" Temari's eyes welled up with tears as she said painfully, "Are we just supposed to watch him go?!"

Before they could finish speaking, dozens of Sand Ninja suddenly leaped high into the air from all directions and swooped down towards Mugetsu.

"It's Professor Maki?!"

"And there's Lord Koda! He's a genius that appears only once in a century in our Sand Village!"

"Great! If they intervene, they should be able to save Gaara!"

Kankuro and Temari seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and their expressions brightened once more.

But the result was clearly beyond their expectations. Wu Yue merely glanced at them indifferently, then raised her right palm, forming a knife with her hand, and slashed through the air.

puff.

An invisible blade of air shot out, stretching nearly twenty meters in mid-air. The Sand Ninjas who were diving towards him didn't even have time to let out a scream before their bodies were split in two at the waist, and blood rained down everywhere.

Shocked and astonished.

Temari and Kankuro stood frozen in disbelief, unable to utter a sound. They felt as if everything before them was unreal. It was too surreal, too unbelievable! How could it be… how could a human possess such power?

Meanwhile, Wuyue's Chaos Dragon Devouring was nearing its end. The enormous Shukaku had completely become nourishment and entered Wuyue's body.

"We have failed!"

"What do we do? What do we do now?"

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" The remaining Allied Shinobi Forces had completely lost their will to fight. They hurriedly turned around and fled. But what awaited them was an ambush that Konoha had prepared long ago.

This was no longer a battle; it was a massacre! The Allied Shinobi Forces, having lost their will to fight, were like lambs to the slaughter. Under Konoha's attack, they were utterly routed.

"It's over." With a flash, Ye Cang appeared behind Wu Yue. She glanced at the disheveled Mirai and chuckled, "Young Miss did a very good job."

"No, no." Mirai scratched her head and said, "If it weren't for Papa, I wouldn't be a match for that guy at all."

"Don't underestimate yourself." Wuyue shook her head and smiled, "Your performance has exceeded my expectations. Both the timing of your attacks and the application of tactics were excellent. In particular, the combined power of Lightning Release: Chidori Rasengan was superb. You just need more time to grow."

"I will try my best." Future nodded seriously. "But what exactly is going on? Why did the exam turn out like this?"

“Because of their interests.” Ye Cang looked around at the scene of devastation and said softly, “They thought this Chunin Exam would give them an opportunity. In the end, they ruined themselves for nothing.”

As soon as he finished speaking, several figures appeared in front of Wuyue in a flash, kneeling on one knee. They were the Hokage's direct subordinates, ANBU, wearing various animal masks, and spoke very respectfully.

"Reporting to the Hokage, the enemy to the west has been completely annihilated."

"The enemy in the eastern suburbs was completely wiped out."

"The Sound Ninja at the main gate have been wiped out, and sixty prisoners have been captured."

"Very good." Wuyue nodded and said softly, "You've worked hard. What about our casualties?"

"Three members of the first team were killed, two were seriously injured, and fifteen were slightly injured."

"Six people in the second team were killed, eight were seriously injured, and ten were slightly injured."

"Seven people in the third team were seriously injured."

"Hmm." Wuyue sighed. This is war. Even in a war of annihilation with foresight, casualties are inevitable. However, as a veteran who had already experienced three world wars, he had become indifferent to sacrifice, only feeling a sense of loss. "Record the names of the fallen and inscribe them on the memorial tablet. Hold their funerals on a chosen date. The seriously wounded will be placed in the hospital, and I will personally treat them together with the Fourth Hokage."

"Yes!" The members of the secret service accepted the order and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

"Shall we launch a counterattack, Master?" After a moment of silence, Ye Cang walked over from behind and asked.

"No." Wuyue waved her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not time yet. Let's deal with the village's internal problems first. After this purge, the resistance from the Land of Fire has completely disappeared. Complete unification is imminent. Once the merger is complete, we will have no worries. At that time... it will be time for reckoning. Let's start with Sunagakure."

"A reckoning?" Ye Cang paused slightly, then knelt on one knee. "Master, I will be your sharpest weapon."

“Of course, I’ve always known that.” Wuyue gazed into the distance. There, a fiery red sun was slowly setting.

Chapter 0445 Obito's Wrath

"Damn it!" In the dark cave, the Fourth Kage slammed his fist against the wall, causing the entire cave to shake violently. "This is your laughable surprise attack plan?! Making our ninja army sacrifice themselves for no reason?!"

"A single one of the two hundred Jonin troops escaped." The Third Tsuchikage said coldly, his face grim. "Those were the absolute elite of our Iwagakure. Don't you have anything to say?"

"You want me to apologize?" Obito looked at them calmly and said indifferently, "If this makes you feel better, then I can certainly do it!"

"Don't give me that crap!" The Fourth Raikage rushed forward, his voice cold. "You should know very well that this isn't something that can be resolved with a cheap apology! I need to know the reason, what exactly happened?!"

“There’s a traitor among us.” Obito sighed, speaking in a peculiar tone, “The Hidden Mist Village has been allied with the Yuhi Mugetsu Village from the very beginning. And Orochimaru…”

"Oh? What's wrong with me?" A voice suddenly rang out at the cave entrance, and Orochimaru, his hair disheveled, slowly stepped inside. "Do you think I'm a traitor?"

"You still dare to show your face?" Obito asked coldly, staring at him.

"If you think I didn't participate in that battle because of betrayal, I disagree." Orochimaru shook his head and pulled open his collar. Beneath his robes, there was a charred, blackish-gray residue, his skin appearing as if it had been scorched by some intense heat. "Following your original instructions, I went to ambush the Fourth Kazekage. Instead, I encountered Yuhi Mugetsu's maid. If it weren't for my decent escape skills, I'd be a corpse by now."

silence.
