"Akatsuki's true goal is not simply to rule the ninja world." Obito's voice was deep and magnetic, like a call from the abyss.

"What we seek is to resurrect an...ancient evil force!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, and a chill ran from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

Reviving ancient evil forces?

What exactly does this mean?

Could it be that Xiao's conspiracy is more terrifying than they imagined?

"This power... is enough to destroy the entire ninja world!" Obito said calmly, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

But every word of those words struck their hearts like a hammer blow, filling them with waves of despair.

Just as everyone was speechless with shock at Obito's words, Danzo's old and hoarse voice suddenly rang out.

"Hmph, destroy the world? Perhaps this is a good opportunity. As long as we master this power, we can bring Konoha, and even the entire ninja world, to an unprecedented peak!"

Danzo's words were like a spark, instantly igniting everyone's anger.

Kakashi frowned and angrily rebuked, "Danzo, are you insane? If this power is controlled, it will only bring greater disaster!"

"Hmph, Kakashi, you're still too naive." Danzo sneered, his aged face filled with malice.

"Power is the only truth in this world. With enough power, one can rise above everything!"

Kakashi glared at Danzo, and the two were on the verge of exchanging blows; a new storm was brewing.

Just as they were arguing, the ground suddenly trembled slightly...

The earth trembled more violently, and wisps of black mist seeped from the ground like ghosts, twisting and swirling in the air.

Immediately afterwards, a pale arm emerged from the crack, like a demonic claw reaching out from hell, and grabbed the nearest Konoha ninja.

The ninja let out a shrill scream, his eyes instantly lost their luster, and his body convulsed violently.

The black mist quickly enveloped him, like a greedy demon devouring his soul.

He slowly stood up, his eyes vacant, but the corners of his mouth turned up in a strange, chilling smile.

“Kill…kill you all…” he said in a hoarse and unfamiliar voice, then suddenly swung his knife at his companion.

The others were terrified and scattered in all directions.

They couldn't bear to attack their former comrades, but their opponents showed no mercy, each move deadly.

The wounded ninja groaned in pain, his blood staining the ground red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

A shadow of despair loomed over them as they watched their former comrades turn into cold-blooded puppets, their hearts filled with pain and helplessness.

Sakura covered her mouth to stop herself from crying out loud, but tears kept flowing.

Shikamaru frowned deeply, his mind racing as he tried to find a solution.

Just then, Naruto roared to the sky, and golden chakra erupted like a volcano, enveloping his entire body.

His hair stood on end like burning golden flames, and his eyes shone with a dazzling light.

"The power of the Nine-Tails!" everyone exclaimed.

Enveloped in golden chakra, Naruto moved with lightning speed and possessed astonishing strength.

He threw a punch, sending the controlled ninja flying. The ninja crashed into several large trees before coming to a stop.

The ninja, who had been thrown back by the blast, convulsed on the ground in pain, and the black mist dissipated as a result.

They looked around blankly, seemingly not understanding what was happening.

Seeing Naruto unleash such powerful energy, everyone's hope was rekindled.

Cheers erupted, dispelling the oppressive atmosphere.

"Naruto, well done!"

“We will definitely win!”

However, just as everyone was cheering, the crack in the ground closed again, and Black Zetsu's figure disappeared.

Obito looked at Naruto, his crimson Sharingan flashing with complex light, before disappearing into thin air.

Just as everyone was puzzled, a deafening roar came from afar, like the roar of a giant beast, and the earth trembled violently...

"What was that..." Kakashi stared at the direction where Obito and Black Zetsu had disappeared, his expression grave.

Chapter 210 As long as it is properly controlled

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the direction where Obito and Black Zetsu had disappeared, and the air seemed to freeze.

Kakashi's deep Sharingan narrowed slightly, his brows furrowed, and his hand unconsciously tightened around his kunai.

Naruto gritted his teeth, golden chakra pulsating around him as he anxiously gazed into the distance.

Sasuke's Sharingan spun around, his cold face filled with vigilance.

Sakura clung tightly to Naruto, her worry evident in her expression.

The surroundings were deathly silent, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind adding to the tense atmosphere.

Obito's words echoed in their minds like a persistent gloom.

"Using the Akatsuki? Lord Danzo, are you insane?" Kakashi's voice was deep and firm, with an barely suppressed rage in his tone.

He could not accept Danzo's insane idea; using such a dangerous organization as Akatsuki was tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.

"Kakashi, you're too naive! In this chaotic world, only power can protect Konoha!" Danzo leaned on his cane, his aged voice filled with undeniable authority. "The Akatsuki possesses immense power, why can't we utilize it? If we control it properly, we can transform this power into a weapon for Konoha!"

"Control? What do you have to control? The leader of Akatsuki is Pain, who possesses the Rinnegan! We know nothing about his power!" Kakashi retorted, his tone becoming increasingly heated.

"Hmph, Kakashi, you're being too soft-hearted!" Danzo sneered. "Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles! For the future of Konoha, necessary sacrifices are inevitable!"

"Sacrifice? Who are you talking about as sacrifice? Are you talking about us ninjas, or innocent villagers?" Kakashi's voice trembled slightly. He couldn't imagine what kind of crazy things Danzo would do for his so-called interests.

The surrounding ninjas also started discussing the matter, with the two factions supporting Kakashi and Danzo refusing to back down, creating a tense atmosphere that seemed ready to erupt at any moment.

"Enough!" Tsunade slammed her hand on the table, unleashing a powerful burst of chakra that stunned the entire room.

Her sharp gaze swept over the crowd, her tone resolute, "Now is not the time for infighting! The most urgent task is to find out the Akatsuki's purpose, and..."

Tsunade paused, looking in the direction where Obito had disappeared. At first, there was only a slight tremor, but gradually, the ground shook more and more violently, and the tables and chairs in the tent collided, making a screeching sound.

Some unsteady ninjas fell to the ground, their painful groans mingling with the noisy arguments, adding to the chaos.

"What's going on?!" Naruto exclaimed, barely managing to steady himself by bracing himself with his hands on the ground.

"Was it an earthquake?!" Sakura gripped Naruto's arm tightly, her face pale.

Kakashi and Danzo involuntarily stopped arguing and looked around in surprise and uncertainty.

Tsunade's expression was solemn, and powerful chakra surged around her, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

The roar grew louder and louder, and the ground trembled more violently. Some ninjas were even thrown into the air and crashed heavily to the ground, letting out painful howls.

Fear spread through the crowd, as if the air itself had become thick and suffocating.

Suddenly, a figure flew over from afar like lightning and landed steadily in front of everyone.

The newcomer was Matt Day, dressed in a green bodysuit, his thick eyebrows and gleaming teeth particularly striking.

"Youth!" Might Guy roared, his leg muscles tensing as he kicked a huge rock flying through the air.

With a loud "boom," the falling rocks shattered into countless fragments in mid-air, scattering across the ground.

The original trajectory of the falling rock was directly facing Kakashi and Danzo, who were arguing.

The two were stunned by the sudden scene and stood there, watching the rubble fall at their feet, feeling a wave of fear wash over them.

Upon seeing this, everyone exclaimed in amazement, filled with admiration for Might Guy's strength.

At such a critical moment, the immense strength he displayed undoubtedly gave everyone a much-needed boost of morale.

However, when the dust settled, a huge figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was taller than the surrounding trees, reeked of a nauseating stench, and its scarlet eyes, like two will-o'-the-wisps, stared intently at the crowd.

Its thick limbs are covered with thick scales, and its sharp claws gleam with a cold light, sending chills down your spine.

"What...what is that?!" Kiba pointed at the monster, his voice trembling. Akamaru also trembled and hid behind him, letting out low sobs.

Might Guy's eyes were sharp as he stared intently at the monster before him, and he said in a deep voice, "Prepare for battle!"

Chapter 211 Preserving Strength

The stench was overwhelming and nauseating.

A colossal monster stood before them, pressing down on everyone's nerves like a mountain.

Its robust limbs, thick scales, and sharp claws all testify to its terrifying power.

Its scarlet eyes, flickering like will-o'-the-wisps, greedily scanned the crowd, as if choosing its next prey.

Kakashi gripped his kunai tightly, his eyes blazing as he carefully observed the monster's every move.

Although Naruto was passionate, he also felt immense pressure at this moment and unconsciously clenched his fists.

Sasuke pursed his lips, his Sharingan slowly rotating, trying to see through the monster's weakness.

Sakura's palms were sweaty, but she still stood firmly at the front of the team, ready to support her teammates at any time.

Although Shikamaru appeared calm on the surface, he was actually thinking of a countermeasure at lightning speed.

Kiba and Akamaru stood back to back, both ready for battle.

The ninjas of Sunagakure were also on high alert.

Kankuro's hand was already on the puppet's control stick, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Gaara gathered sand around himself, forming a defensive barrier.

Temari gripped her fan tightly, her eyes warily fixed on the monster.

Maki held his long sword horizontally in front of his chest, ready to draw it at any moment.

The air seemed to freeze, and a tense atmosphere enveloped everyone.

Everyone held their breath, afraid to make the slightest sound, lest they disturb the monster before them.

Suddenly, the monster opened its blood-red maw, and a huge fireball shot out, heading straight for the group.

The scorching heat hit us, and the air itself seemed to distort.

"Scatter!" Kakashi roared, dodging first.

Everyone scrambled to avoid the fireball, which whistled past their bodies, leaving a charred trail.

Kankuro reacted quickly, manipulating his puppet to block the fireball's path.

However, the puppet was engulfed by the flames the moment it came into contact with the fireball, instantly turning into ashes.

"What?!" Kankuro's expression changed drastically as he stared in disbelief at what was happening before him.

The other ninjas gasped in shock at the sight.

The monster's power far exceeded their imagination.

"Looks like this is going to be a tough battle..." Kakashi muttered.

Danzo snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with an unsettling light.

He slowly reached his hand towards the ANBU ninja behind him...

Danzo's sinister gaze swept over the crowd, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Anbu, retreat!" he ordered in an unquestionable tone.

Although the ANBU ninjas behind him hesitated, they obeyed orders and quickly withdrew from the front line of battle.

"Danzo, what do you mean by this?!" Kakashi roared, the cold light in his Sharingan almost piercing Danzo.

"This is a matter of life and death, and you're actually holding back your strength?!"

"Hmph, the future of Konoha is far more important than this mere monster before us." Danzo sneered, completely unconcerned about the accusations from the crowd.

"What does it matter if a few ninjas are sacrificed? As long as we can preserve the foundation of Konoha, it's all worth it."
