Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

"The end of the ninja world begins here!"

"call out!"

A massive Tailed Beast Ball erupted from Kurama's mouth. The Earth Release techniques released by the Anbu were ineffective, and after a scream, the Tailed Beast Ball hurtled past.

Minato appeared in front of the Tailed Beast Ball with Hiruzen Sarutobi. The Third Hokage's chakra was unleashed without reservation, and a huge earthen wall rose from the ground.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the Tailed Beast Ball exploded on the spot. The immense power caused the Anbu members in the distance to scream as they were instantly blasted away. A huge circular crater appeared, and everything around them vanished.

Although Minato had already moved with Hiruzen Sarutobi, the aftershocks of the explosion still knocked the two of them to the ground.

"As expected of the Hokage, what are you going to do with the second one?"

Obito muttered to himself, looking at Tsunade who was rapidly approaching him. A ferocious smile appeared on his face behind the mask as he activated the Tailed Beast Ball and Kamui simultaneously.

Although the second Tailed Beast Ball of the Nine-Tails was smaller, Hiruzen Sarutobi was unable to detonate it prematurely again. Although the Earth Release ninjutsu changed the direction of the Tailed Beast Ball, it still flew towards the village.

Tsunade's attack missed again, Obito had already turned into a vortex and disappeared, and Kurama was punched to the ground and then twisted wildly.

With most of his black armor shattered, Hiruzen Sarutobi rushed to Kurama's side. Not seeing the Tailed Beast Ball explode, he knew that someone in the village had neutralized the attack.

"Ahem, control the Nine-Tails, I'll immediately use the sealing technique!"

When Minato arrived in front of Kurama, he knelt on the ground, panting heavily as he watched Tsunade and Kurama engage in hand-to-hand combat. Suddenly remembering something, he shouted a reminder:

"Lady Tsunade, please hold on a little longer, I'll bring Kushina over right away."

"Kushina should be able to reseal the Nine-Tails..."

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to say something, Tsunade's wounds instantly disappeared. She forcefully grabbed the Nine-Tails' giant claw and swung her massive body away.

"That damned guy!"

Just as Tsunade roared and was about to deliver another punch to completely control the Nine-Tails, the tailed beast in front of her suddenly disappeared with a bang.

"Damn it! It's a psychic technique?!"

"How could anyone be able to summon the Nine-Tails?!"

Amidst the thick white smoke, Tsunade clenched her fists. The enemy's plan was a series of interconnected schemes, outmaneuvering them all before finally leaving with the tailed beasts.

Minato, who had lost too much blood, turned even paler upon seeing Kurama disappear. Resealing Kurama might save Kushina, but with Kurama gone, his wife might not live much longer and would face death.

Minato gasped for breath, trying to calm himself down, but the image of Kushina holding Naruto filled him with regret.

"Uchiha Madara? Cough... Only he can summon the Nine-Tails..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself, startling Tsunade and Minato. Just as they were about to say something, Osamu Furukawa suddenly appeared beside Tsunade:

"Looks like I'm late?! Teacher, I'll take over now!"

"I will bring the Nine-Tails back; the enemy is still within my perception range."

Just as the three were about to say something, Furukawa Osamu's figure disappeared again, and Minato, after barely managing to refine his chakra, showed a look of shame on his face:

"Sorry, I can't sense Xiu and Nine-Tails in my current state..."

Tsunade pursed her lips and remained silent. She suddenly realized that her hemophobia seemed to have disappeared. She shook her head self-deprecatingly, and then the light of the Palm Healing Technique appeared on her palm:

"I trust Xiu. Let's finish the treatment first!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the silent ANBU soldiers lying on the ground, then slowly walked to his wife's side. His suppressed emotions erupted, and tears welled in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Lake Biwa..."

Chapter 167: A Fated Showdown?

The night of the prophesied child's birth seemed exceptionally long. Facing the three Kage with ease, Obito sat on the Nine-Tails' head, quietly watching the waning moon in the sky.

"As expected of Lord Madara!"

“But we should leave as soon as possible. Nagato failed, and that guy might be coming after us.”

"Use my chakra to replenish my eye power; I have a feeling something terrible is about to happen..."

The White Zetsu possessed by him lost its comical tone. Back then, Madara was killed by Furukawa Osamu and could only survive by relying on Black Zetsu. The psychological trauma left behind has not been eliminated to this day.

This is also why he kept it a secret from Black Zetsu; he hadn't experienced the urge to defecate yet and didn't want to die a tragic death like his companions.

"With my eye power and summoning contract, no one can take the Nine-Tails from me!"

"I just want to catch that guy to confirm some things, White Guy, don't underestimate my Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Before these eyes, even divine magic cannot withstand my attack!"

As soon as Obito finished speaking, White Zetsu sensed something. The two looked up together and saw a blurry figure appear on top of the giant statue of Uchiha Madara.

Having come to the Valley of the End specifically to project an aura of power as Madara Uchiha, Obito found his spot taken, causing his lips to twitch.

"Lord Madara, perhaps you should leave now!"

"There are no Konoha ninja around, so this guy definitely won't be hiding his strength..."

"Shut up!"

Obito gave a low shout, and White Zetsu immediately fell silent, only hurriedly channeling chakra into Madara, his ominous premonition growing stronger.

Furukawa Osamu flapped his black sand iron wings again, and then quickly swooped down.

Under the waning moonlight, Obito saw that cold, handsome face again in the genjutsu. The icy gaze made his heart tighten. Just as he was about to speak, Furukawa Osamu, hovering in mid-air, spoke:

"I never expected you old codger to have learned the ninjutsu of resurrection!"

“Interesting. Perhaps I should have cut your head off back then. This weapon will do the trick this time.”

As soon as Furukawa finished speaking, he suddenly activated the seal on his wrist, and the Uchiha ancestral fan immediately appeared in his right hand. He then raised the weapon and pointed it at Obito and Kurama.

Obito, who had been remarkably calm during the battle, was initially stunned when he heard the word "resurrection technique." Then, remembering Rin Nohara's amnesia, a surge of rage welled up within him.

"It's really you!"

Obito lowered his head and muttered to himself. White Zetsu, realizing something was wrong—this kind of emotion was extremely detrimental to combat—quickly reminded him:

"Lord Madara, calm down!"

When Obito looked up again, the smile on Furukawa Osamu's lips had vanished. Remembering how his best friend's life had been manipulated, a nameless rage lingered within him. He barely managed to maintain Madara Uchiha's tone as he responded:

"The Valley of the End is your place of death!"

The Nine-Tails instantly raised its head, and the power it had just secretly gathered quickly transformed into a Tailed Beast Ball.

Just as it was about to unleash its power, Obito suddenly clutched his mask and screamed in pain, while Kurama quickly tilted its head back and launched the Tailed Beast Ball into the night sky.

"boom!!"

The rising waves above forced Obito to kneel on Kurama's head, panting heavily. When he looked at Furukawa Osamu again, he noticed that the other's eyes had turned scarlet, and the three tomoe were slowly rotating.

"Is this all the power you have in your eyes?"

"Ugly as always, the beasts should leave the stage first!"

The intricate patterns in the Nine-Tailed Fox's pupils disappeared, turning into simple three-tomoe pearls. Then, with a mournful howl, it twisted its body and vanished in a flash. The giant fox obediently came to Furukawa Shuu's feet.

Obito knelt on the ground, the backlash from his eye power causing him to clutch his mask in pain. White Zetsu, sensing the familiar chakra fluctuations, grew increasingly terrified, constantly reminding himself within his body:

"Run, Lord Madara! You can't resist that eye power..."

"Shut up!"

Obito's face was contorted with rage. At this moment, he recalled Madara Uchiha's teachings. His classmates had indeed inherited Tobirama Senju's evil will and had actually stolen the power of the Uchiha bloodline.

What made him even more embarrassed was that the ordinary Sharingan was suppressing his Mangekyou Sharingan. Thinking of the evil experiments, Obito let out a painful growl, and the White Zetsu on his body immediately cooperated by forming hand seals.

Suddenly, huge tree branches rose from the ground, twisting wildly and attacking Furukawa Osamu with the help of the two people's chakra.

"Immortal Technique: Scorching Escape - Overheating Kill!"

As Furukawa Osamu faced the twisted tree branch, he waved his left hand, and a huge orange fireball suddenly appeared. With the help of Sage Chakra, it continued to grow larger and larger, instantly engulfing the tree branch in front of him.

"How could this be?!"

Obito intended to persist in using Wood Release to disrupt the ninjutsu, but he noticed the fireball was growing larger and larger, and the White Zetsu on his body hurriedly warned him:

"It's that special Sage Chakra..."

Obito wasn't worried about a surprise attack from the Flying Thunder God Technique. He forcefully unleashed his chakra, and his berserk Wood Release finally managed to withstand the expanding fireball. Before he could launch an attack, a giant dragon flashing with black light suddenly appeared.

"Sage Art: Storm Release - Lightning Water Dragon Bullet!"

When a giant black dragon of lightning pounced, Obito didn't bother to dodge. But when he saw four more giant black dragons appear and wreak havoc together, his eyes widened in surprise.

"boom!"

The black dragon, seemingly alive, continued to surge, causing the earth to crack and shatter instantly. Rock fragments flew everywhere, and Obito disappeared in a vortex. When he reappeared, he was already at the head of the Hashirama Senju statue.

"call..."

Obito let out a sigh of relief, while White Zetsu reminded him again:

"Lord Madara, you should leave!"

"The opponent has mastered the power of the Sharingan and is even faster. We have no information on them. Let's abandon Kurama for now..."

Furukawa Osamu did not use the Nine-Tails' power. As he flew back into the sky, he looked at "Uchiha Madara" staring at him and continued to mock him:

"You seem to have lost your former power after your resurrection; your ninjutsu has a flaw!"

"You haven't forgotten how I killed you, have you? It seems necessary to awaken your memories once again!"

"Sage Art: Magnet Release: Iron Sand Rain!"

Black iron sand suddenly burst forth from the wings behind Furukawa Osamu, the tiny particles shooting through the air like raindrops towards Obito in the distance.

"Lord Madara, calm down! Let's move!"

Obito suppressed his anger and once again transformed into a vortex to escape. When he returned to the statue's feet, Kurama suddenly swung its claws repeatedly, and its large tail also danced wildly behind it.

Suddenly, a huge black hand shot out from the ground, along with more and more iron sand gleaming with a dark luster.

Only then did Obito realize what Furukawa Osamu had been doing by standing still. The entire area had been transformed into iron sand, and the continuous attacks forced him to dodge and move away from the area.

"Have you even given up the family symbol? Or have you lost your memory?"

"I really want to study your body now; you'd make excellent experimental material..."

Back on the head of the Nine-Tailed Fox, Furukawa Osamu resealed the fan and, with his arms crossed, commanded more and more black iron sand.

The Sage Chakra within the Hundred Healings Seal transformed once more, and the iron sand suddenly gained a life of its own, its speed increasing dramatically as it transformed into sharp claws that frantically clawed at the appearing Obito.

"Lord Madara! Leave now!"

"Shut up!"

The thought that Rin Nohara might also be an experimental subject caused Obito's suppressed emotions to completely erupt. Complex patterns appeared in his scarlet eyes, and he landed on the ground without dodging, his eye power exploding once again.

"drink!"

A blue skeleton instantly appeared, and amidst Obito's roar, the half-body skeleton gradually became complete. As the armor covered it, four arms appeared, followed by four giant shuriken from the arms.

"Kamui Shuriken!"

Obito's eye power was rapidly depleted, and blood flowed from his eyes. The blue half-giant roared and then threw out a giant shuriken.

The black iron sand attacking from the front was first distorted by two giant shurikens, then two spatial rifts absorbed the attack completely, and the blue shurikens behind broke through the blockade and flew straight towards Furukawa Osamu.

"boom!"

The distorted space and the massive Yin Release chakra attack erupted simultaneously, followed by a dazzling white light. Obito, maintaining his half-giant form, knelt on the spot. White Zetsu sensed something and suddenly screamed in terror:

"Lord Madara, leave immediately!"

Osamu Furukawa was covered by the deep purple half-giant. At this moment, the giant's two arms and half of its body had disappeared, but the missing parts were being filled in at a speed visible to the naked eye.

By the time Obito, panting heavily, realized what was happening, the purple giant had already stood up and strode forward, his massive longsword swiftly slashing towards where he was.

"Divine power!"

At the critical moment, Obito forcibly activated his eye technique, snapping his longsword in two. Then, with a roar, blood flowed from his eyes once more as he broke through his defenses and roared in fury:

"What do you take life for?!"

The blue giant threw another Kamui shuriken, and the Nine-Tails behind him immediately unleashed a Tailed Beast Ball, the explosion erupting between the two giants.
