Rasa couldn't help but let his mind wander. After all, the current situation was really hard to understand. Konoha was missing two strong people, and Kumogakure hadn't made a move against Konoha.

"Could it be that, because of the previous reasons, Kumogakure doesn't want Sunagakure to win and then clash with them? So they used Konoha to weaken Sunagakure."

......

The three ninjas have gathered.

At this moment, Tsunade also abandoned the medical work in the rear, rode the slug to the other side of Bunpuku, and formed a triangle with Orochimaru and Jiraiya to surround Bunpuku in the middle.

When fighting the tailed beasts, Tsunade had no more reservations, since the tailed beasts didn't bleed...

Although Bunpuku gained the approval of the One-Tailed Beast, he was ultimately not a perfect Jinchuriki. He was already affected simply by entering the Tailed Beast form, his face contorted in pain.

Upon seeing the three Sannin gathered and surrounding him, Bunpuku, though already out of control, still managed to break free of his restraints.

The village cannot afford to lose this battle! This is what Luo Sha told him not long ago. If they lose, the village will suffer a truly devastating loss.

Its tailed beast form expanded rapidly, instantly transforming into a hundred-meter-tall raccoon covered in patterns, with a huge tail swishing behind it.

"Roar!"

Fenfu's consciousness had not completely dissipated, but from his roar, one could tell that he was not at ease.

Perhaps, once the great battle begins, the enemy's will will be completely unable to remain clear-headed.

Chapter 262 The Battle of Class 7

Three enormous summoning beasts, along with the three legendary Sannin, engaged in battle against the fully evolved form of the One-Tailed Beast.

The three Sannin, working together, could certainly defeat the Tailed Beast, and sealing it wouldn't be difficult. However, this is a battlefield, and the Sannin's biggest concern isn't whether they can defeat the One-Tailed Beast; they need to consider the potential losses to the Konoha army. The Tailed Beasts are called war machines for a reason; a single Tailed Beast Ball released in a densely populated area of ​​ninja would cause immense damage.

......

This was the real decisive battle, and all the ninjas on both sides were committed to the battlefield.

At this moment, there is no distinction between cannon fodder and cannon fodder.

Even ninjas with powerful connections had to join the battle.

However, there are still differences. The entire battlefield is certainly differentiated, with the central border area naturally suffering the heaviest casualties—truly cannon fodder. But those who survive are undoubtedly the best, serving as a kind of selection process. Besides the border between the two armies, fighting also takes place at the four edges of the battlefield. Compared to the meat grinder-like scene at the center, the battles here exhibit some artistry, as the wider terrain provides ample space for maneuver.

The same point is that, whether in the center of the battlefield or on the periphery, the enemies are endless, and the difference in the level of danger is not much. In fact, the battles on the periphery are more challenging for ninjas, since traps are everywhere. If you make a mistake, you can be killed by a trap alone, even before the enemy can make a move.

Team 7 was deployed to the edge of the battlefield by Minato Namikaze. This was the best Minato could do for the three of them, since all the ninjas on the battlefield had to participate. They could only hope that with Kakashi's presence, the three of them could survive better.

Kakashi has exceptional battle intelligence, and being placed on the outer edges of the battlefield increases his chances of survival.

It's not exactly an abuse of power, since Kakashi's intelligence would allow them to play a greater role if they were sent there.

"Obito!"

Just as Obito was about to trigger the trap, Kakashi warned him, but before Obito could react, Rin pulled him back.

Ma Jia, whose mission was to protect Lin, was also watching from the shadows, feeling speechless.

"With Obito around, isn't Rin truly in danger?"

Obito's personality is too similar to Nawaki's. Back then, Teru repeatedly reminded him, and even Orochimaru gave Nawaki special training at Teru's suggestion. In the end, he still carelessly stepped into the crater of the explosive tag. It can be seen that carelessness is not something that can be easily changed.

The same logic applies to Obito, whose personality is similar to Nawaki's. In the original work, it was probably only because Kakashi and Rin intervened multiple times that Obito was able to survive until the end.

But things are different now. Something has happened in the ninja world, and all sorts of changes are visible to the naked eye. Hui is genuinely worried that Rin will be implicated by Obito.

"Sigh, I guess I'll just have to be more careful."

"Obito, be careful. This is the most dangerous time. We can't be careless at all."

Rin lectured Obito for a while.

Obito felt ashamed, having almost implicated his comrades, especially since Rin was nearby. He knew it would be even more painful if she were implicated. He secretly resolved to act cautiously and not bring trouble upon them.

Perhaps it was Rin's words that had an effect, because Obito was extremely careful in his subsequent actions and was able to detect traps in time.

This shows that Obito himself had a solid foundation, but he was a bit careless.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"

Seeing that the trap had been discovered, the Sand Village, which was hiding in the shadows, finally couldn't help but make a move.

A fierce gust of wind erupted from the opponent's mouth, and at the same time, something seemed to be opened in the opponent's hand, mixed into the storm, and headed towards the three members of Class 7.

"Watch out, it's poisonous!"

Kakashi realized something was wrong, but couldn't pinpoint the specific problem. It was Rin, the medical ninja, who was the first to recognize the poison mixed in with the fierce wind.

The poison used in the Wind Release attack was unlikely to be strong, and the three who noticed it in time were not seriously affected, not to mention that there was also Rin, an excellent medical ninja.

"The poison isn't strong; it's probably a standard one. I have the antidote on me."

After assessing the effects of the poison, Rin made a judgment, took out the antidote from her ninja tool pouch, and handed it to the two of them.

While the three members of Team 7 dodged the Great Breakthrough Technique and detected and neutralized the poison, the Sand Ninja on the other side did not take any action.

He was at a significant disadvantage against three opponents.

The wisest choice is to delay and wait for your companions to arrive.

Earth Release: Decapitation Technique of the Heart

Kakashi was not surprised by the Sand Village ninja's reaction. While they were taking the time to detoxify, Kakashi secretly prepared a ninjutsu.

Seizing the opportunity, he used his inner decapitation technique to directly control the Sand Ninja.

The kunai was thrown out and pierced the opponent's heart.

Upon checking and confirming that the other person was dead, Kakashi removed the kunai and put it back into his ninja tool pouch.

We must conserve our ninja tools as much as possible, given the current dire situation; any wear and tear must be carefully considered.

The same applies to physical strength and chakra.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"

Perhaps it was the arrival of the two Sand Ninja companions who had just died. Upon seeing Kakashi and the other two, they secretly attacked, launching two coordinated ninjutsu. However, even though these two techniques were well coordinated, they could not pose a threat to the three of them. The key was how the three of them could defeat their opponents with the least amount of damage.

"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall"

Kakashi formed hand seals and immediately cast Earth Release: Earth Wall to protect the three of them.

At the same time, he threw out the kunai in his hand.

Then, sparks flew from the collision of the fireball and the earthen wall, and kunai were shot out.

Although Kakashi's timing was excellent and his kunai throw was perfect, the Sand Ninja on the other side had also experienced a year of war. Although they didn't notice the kunai shot out from the flames immediately, they reacted at the last moment, turned to the side, and dodged the kunai.

Kakashi's kunai throwing was ultimately lacking; it was too rigid and lacked soul, and the quantity was also too small.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique

Wearing goggles, Obito could clearly see Kakashi's movements and began preparing his ninjutsu as soon as Kakashi fired the kunai.

At that moment, as the two Sand Ninja dodged the kunai, the Great Fireball Technique was finally ready.

He spat out a large ball of flame, which exploded in front of the two Sand Ninja.

"Huh! Huh!"

Two kunai slashed through the air, reaping the lives of the two heavily wounded Sand Ninja.

Although they used one B-rank and one C-rank ninjutsu, the chakra consumption was manageable. Thanks to Hui's special training, their control over chakra consumption during actual ninjutsu combat had reached its peak. After all, the training was designed to improve their survivability, and conserving chakra was paramount. They had mastered the art of knowing what effect a ninjutsu could achieve at a certain level and how to minimize damage.

For example, the Earth Flow Wall used by Kakashi is not the most complete version of the Earth Flow Wall. It simply uses chakra to move the rocks on the ground in front of him to form an Earth Flow Wall. There is no nature transformation involved in the execution. After all, it is enough to withstand the enemy's attack.

For the next hour, the three of them roamed the perimeter of the battlefield, killing one Sand Ninja squad after another.

He faced several crises during this time, but Maga ultimately did not intervene because he sensed a familiar presence – White Fang.

White Fang was secretly protecting Kakashi.

Since White Fang awoke and left, Uchiha Kiyoshi and his clones had not seen him. Unexpectedly, here, Maka sensed his presence.

However, Maga wasn't too surprised. After all, White Fang must have known the cruelty of war, so it made sense for him to come and protect Kakashi.

Chapter 263 The Role of Clones

Kiyoshima Island.

After returning from the future, Uchiha Kiyoshi came back here and hasn't left since. Even his living supplies have been replaced by the Substitution Technique.

While his training certainly played a part, the main reason was actually Uchiha Kiyoshi's apprehension after witnessing Kage-level strength.

Indeed, you thought you were invincible, that you could even hold your own against a Kage-level opponent, but your opponent taught you a lesson, waiting for you to prepare your strongest form before crushing you...

At that time, every blow in the final battle between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju caused immense damage, and even the fully activated Gundam mode at that time might not have been able to defend against it.

This made Uchiha Kiyoshi realize his own shortcomings.

Given this, what about the aged Madara? Could he withstand Madara's full power? Uchiha Kiyoshi had no answer to this question.

Even though Uchiha Kiyoshi has now improved his strength, he is still not confident that he can withstand Uchiha Madara.

It's important to know that Madara's methods are not limited to those shown in the future timeline.

What if the opponent could instantly transplant a large number of Hashirama cells, then suppress the erosion caused by the Hashirama cells for a period of time, during which time they could recover to their peak condition?

Kiyoshi Uchiha believed that Madara Uchiha could suppress the erosion of Hashirama's cells without a doubt; that much was certain.

Although he does have Hashirama cells in his body now, there aren't many. If Madara has to transplant a large number of Hashirama cells, it's possible for his physical condition to return to its peak. Therefore, Uchiha Kiyoshi won't gamble on whether he can withstand the opponent.

If that's the case, then let's just avoid it.

Moreover, besides Madara, the Sage of Six Paths is also worth noting.

Just as Uchiha Kiyoshi discovered, something unknown seemed to have happened in the ninja world, and the characters in the original work also began to change, both in personality and style. Uchiha Kiyoshi was also unsure whether the Sage of Six Paths would change, so avoiding the Sage of Six Paths was one of his methods.

Moreover, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't feel lonely on the island. Researching and developing the cultivation system was already quite satisfying for him, and feeling himself gradually getting stronger and his body constantly evolving while cultivating was really enjoyable.

Perhaps the process of ninjas refining chakra is not pleasant at all, since it involves straining the body, causing discomfort and even a feeling of emptiness. But it's different for Uchiha Kiyoshi. Since developing his body-cultivating technique, Uchiha Kiyoshi's training has been enjoyable and comfortable.

Of course, before the cultivation technique was perfected, Uchiha Kiyoshi also had to go through a state of emptiness after refining chakra, but afterwards he would experience the pleasant sensation of his body's energy replenishing itself. After Uchiha Kiyoshi completely perfected the cultivation technique, especially now that he no longer needed to go through the step of squeezing his cells, Uchiha Kiyoshi's entire training process was quite comfortable.

The feeling of energy returning to the body is quite pleasant, a joy that comes from the heart.
