The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Of course, another reason is that Kakashi had a strange feeling deep down that there would be a surprise if he continued to pursue this.

Instinctively, Kakashi assumed this was some important intelligence.

the other side.

While Black Zetsu was checking Madara Uchiha's body in the cave, Obito finally found an opportunity to get rid of Black Zetsu.

Obito was also excited at the thought that he was finally about to retire successfully.

"From now on, I can be with Lin, right?"

Obito had no intention of returning to Konoha.

Or rather, he simply forgot about the existence of Konoha.

Besides, even if he had to choose, he would definitely choose the Immortal Organization. After all, Obito knew that the Immortal Organization was going to unify the continent, and there was almost no doubt about it.

He hadn't personally experienced Uchiha Kiyoshi's strength, but he knew about Rin's strength. Before that Foundation Establishment thing, Rin's strength was already quite formidable among Kage-level characters. According to Rin, Foundation Establishment would bring about a transformation, making her even stronger than she is now.

Uchiha Kiyoshi is said to be a being above the Foundation Establishment stage!

Uchiha Kiyoshi was powerful, and Obito had no objections. After all, he was Rin's teacher, so it was reasonable to give him some face.

Okay, the main reason is Hui.

"Yes, this should be the place."

Once again using his divine power to teleport, Obito looked around and confirmed that this was the place Rin had mentioned.

"Obito!"

Sure enough, a moment later, Lin's voice came over.

Foundation Establishment is an evolution of life level, and correspondingly, it also brings some benefits to appearance. Lin's features are now more refined, her skin is more delicate, and her figure is slender. Compared to before, she is much prettier.

Others might not have noticed, but Obito was completely stunned.

"Lin...you, you're so much prettier than before."

Obito, in a daze, uttered a fatal sentence.

"Oh? So, did I look better before or now?"

Seemingly sensing danger, Obito snapped out of his daze, awkwardly scratched his head, and grinned sheepishly, unsure how to respond.

I don't know if his current approach counts as a coping strategy. Playing dumb!

Obito blushed after being stared at by Rin for a long time.

"Pfft, Obito, you're so cute."

Lin ultimately didn't press the matter further. As a kind and understanding girl, she felt it was best not to embarrass Obito too much.

Obito was once again stunned by that smile.

As the two were chatting and laughing, a man and a dog—or rather, two dogs—were rushing toward them.

"Parker, stay hidden."

Kakashi felt he was about to get closer to the other person.

If my deduction is correct, the rendezvous point should be not far away.

With a powerful thrust of his feet, Kakashi charged forward, remarkably without making a sound, demonstrating perfect control over his strength. Such a technique would be virtually invincible for assassination.

"Is it a woman? Is it that one?"

The masked man was meeting a woman, and Kakashi immediately thought of the Ice Release ninja from the Sage Organization.

I heard he recently broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"That voice sounds familiar."

Holding his breath and suppressing his chakra, Kakashi focused his mind, trying to gather more information.

"Obito, ..."

Rin's address caused Kakashi's pupils to contract sharply, and he accidentally stepped on a rock.

However, even so, Kakashi remained unresponsive, showing no remorse or regret for his mistake.

His right pupil was dilated, as if he was recalling something.

Rin and Obito appeared, warily looking in Kakashi's direction. At this moment, they could finally see each other's faces clearly.

When Rin and Obito met, they naturally didn't hide anything. As for Kakashi, even though he was wearing a mask, his white hair, unique hairstyle, and the presence of Pakkun next to him were enough to identify him.

The three remained silent, unsure how to face each other after their sudden encounter.

"Kakashi..."

"Obito, and Rin?"

After some hesitation, the two finally confirmed each other's identities.

After many years, Class 7 has finally reunited.

New Era

Chapter 452 Standoff

The land of rain.

Team 7 gathered in the Land of Wind, while the Allied Shinobi Forces had already gathered outside the Land of Rain.

They pressed on relentlessly.

Within the Akatsuki organization, Nagato was also extremely frustrated.

"What on earth is Ah Fei doing? He just suddenly disappeared."

"Exactly, he's the only one who messes up at such a crucial moment."

"Alright, since Afei isn't here, let's continue with the original plan. Yun, you'll be in charge of Afei's mission." Finally, the exasperated Nagato made the decision.

Even Zetsu, who was like a pitcher plant, was puzzled at this moment. What was Obito doing? Why did he suddenly disappear at this time?

But whatever, it doesn't matter whether he's there or not in the final battle. He revived Madara Uchiha, cast Infinite Tsukuyomi, and revived his mother. Who am I afraid of?

Of course, we should play it safe for now and wait for Nagato to wear us down. Also, we need to prepare the Ten-Tails first, so that we can only try to revive Madara Uchiha if all else fails.

Jue was also secretly plotting his own scheme.

Similarly, Kakashi did not return from the Konoha army, which worried Minato Namikaze. However, after thinking about it, he felt that Kakashi should be safe and decided to ignore it.

Kakashi's strength is still insufficient for this war. If he insists on participating, something unexpected might happen. It would be better if he could leave.

This isn't about giving preferential treatment to one's students; it's just a normal way to comfort oneself after an unexpected incident.

"Hui, we can begin!"

Hui nodded and formed a hand seal.

A large amount of water-style chakra was released, and along with the water vapor in the air, it gradually merged into the dark clouds in the sky.

Meanwhile, in other directions, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure all began to take action.

They all used Water Release techniques, merging their chakra into the dark clouds.

The Akatsuki organization is based in the Land of Rain, and the ninjas they train are naturally skilled in Water Release ninjutsu. At this moment, the first step for the major ninja villages is naturally to clean up the environment of the Land of Rain.

As the water-style chakra was incorporated, the dark clouds in the sky remained unchanged.

However, this already signifies that their operation was a success.

It won't rain for now.

Although this would also affect their own ninjas, relatively speaking, the Akatsuki organization would suffer a loss.

In fact, the Allied Shinobi Forces were not affected at all. For example, Hikaru was completely unaffected. In fact, with his chakra integrated into the dark clouds, he could mobilize the rainwater in the clouds at any time to perform water-style ninjutsu. It was no exaggeration to say that he had prepared the venue in advance.

Minato Namikaze stood atop a rocky outcrop outside Amegakure, with the three legendary Sannin each leading their own squads of Konoha ninja behind him. Meanwhile, the Raikage, Mizukage, Tsuchikage, and Kazekage each occupied a corner, forming a circle around Amegakure.

Of course, a notch of about sixty degrees was left on the back.

To the north of Amegakure lies a high mountain, which does not require any enclosure.

On the Amegakure side, Akatsuki members held positions atop the taller buildings, confronting the Allied Shinobi Forces. This included the Six Paths Puppet Master, seven members excluding Tobi, and two thousand Akatsuki peripheral members.

The huge disparity in numbers seemed comical, but no one laughed at the moment.

Because each of them is worth thousands!

They also have—

"Roar!"

"Ow!"

The earth trembled violently, and the roars of the seven tailed beasts echoed through the sky, even reaching the entire Land of Rain.

One to seven tails appeared neatly behind the Heavenly Puppet.

At this moment, Nagato was already controlling Pain, flying in the air, with the seven tailed beasts roaring wildly behind him, looking domineering and awe-inspiring.

"That is!"

As Pain took flight, Jiraiya, amidst the crowd, finally couldn't help but speak up.

That was Yahiko, his disciple.

He glanced around and, sure enough, Konan was there too, but he didn't see Nagato.

However, having entered Sage Mode early to prepare for battle, his eyesight was greatly enhanced, allowing him to clearly see the Rinnegan patterns in Pain's eyes, which weighed heavily on his mind.

"Rinnegan!"

Not only Jiraiya, but all five Kage of the Allied Shinobi Forces were inwardly shocked.

This was also the first time they had ever seen the legendary eyes!

The seven tailed beasts were released from their seals but did not cause any damage. Apart from roaring and releasing immense pressure, they made no other moves, clearly indicating that they were under Nagato's control.
