Chapter 434 Nagato's Enlightenment

After Obito joined the siege, Nagato, who was already at a disadvantage, was completely suppressed. Not only was the Six Paths of Pain restrained by the Wood Clone, but even his real body was covered with wounds and looked like he could fall down at any time.

Not only that, Obito's joining means that Byakuya is likely to have been defeated.

This news was like a bolt from the blue. He had never thought about the possibility of Bai Ye being defeated, nor did he know what he should do after Bai Ye's defeat.

From the moment he met Bai Ye, he had always been the embodiment of power and mystery in Nagato's heart.

No matter how difficult the crisis Akatsuki encounters, Bai Ye can solve it calmly and lead Akatsuki to a higher level.

Uchiha Madara noticed Nagato's trance and took the opportunity to attack.

Nagato hurriedly resisted, using Shinra Tensei to bounce Uchiha Madara away, while at the same time backing away, thinking about his own countermeasures after Byakuya disappeared.

Just then, Obito took action.

He rushed to Nagato at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, reached out and grabbed one of Nagato's Rinnegan, and held it in the palm of his hand.

"After losing Byakuya, you, Nagato, are nothing more than our pawn."

Feeling the severe pain in his left eye, Nagato heard Obito's voice in his ears. He did not waste time talking to Obito, but took out a kunai and aimed it at his right eye.

No matter whether your Rinnegan is innate or left to you by others.

He could not let the complete Rinnegan fall into the hands of Uchiha Madara and the masked man, because once they did, they would completely control the Outer Path Statue and transform it into the Ten-Tails.

Then even if the entire ninja world were to use all its strength, it would not be possible to defeat the complete form of the Ten-Tails.

Therefore, after losing one of the Rinnegan, his first thought was to destroy the remaining Rinnegan. This would at least leave the ninja world with hope of resistance and would not disappoint everyone's expectations.

"You want to destroy the Samsara Eye?"

However, before Nagato could destroy his Rinnegan, Uchiha Madara took control of Nagato, causing his body to freeze as if petrified, making him unable to move at all.

Nagato stood there in a daze, looking at Uchiha Madara who subdued him in an instant. How did Uchiha Madara, who was just on equal terms with him, control himself?
Uchiha Madara seemed to see what Nagato was thinking and said calmly:

"The Samsara Eye itself is mine. When I placed it in your body to nurture it, I naturally left some small things in your body. It will not affect your life at ordinary times, but it will be different at critical moments."

"However, you and Bai Ye did cause me a lot of trouble."

"If he hadn't been so arrogant that he fell into Obito and Black Zetsu's trap, and if we hadn't been so vigilant at all times, he might have really fallen into your hands."

After saying that, Uchiha Madara reached out and prepared to take away Nagato's Rinnegan.

At this moment, a kunai broke through the void and shot towards Uchiha Madara's face. Uchiha Madara dodged the kunai attack, but did not stop taking out Nagato's eyes.

Just at the moment when Uchiha Madara took away the Rinnegan.

Pfft!

The second generation Hokage came in front of Uchiha Madara and slashed his arm with his sword. Uchiha Madara's arm was raised high and was caught by another golden flash.

Uchiha Madara frowned and looked at the two figures in front of him, his eyes full of solemnity.

He was naturally familiar with the figure of Senju Tobirama. He would never forget this Senju who killed Izuna with his own hands even if he turned into ashes.

The other person should be Konoha's Minato Namikaze, a ninja who mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The Second and Fourth Hokage were also looking at Uchiha Madara. They had not planned to take action immediately, but Nagato had already lost one of his Rinnegans, and it would be too late if they did not take action.

After the two sides looked at each other, they disappeared from the spot.

In just a moment, the Second Hokage was defeated by Uchiha Madara. The Second Hokage was very powerful, but he was still not as powerful as Uchiha Madara.

If the Second Hokage didn't have the Impure World Body, he would have been seriously injured by now.

Obito attacked the Fourth Hokage, but his target was not the Fourth Hokage, but Uchiha Madara's arm and the Rinnegan in the Fourth Hokage's hands.

Although this arm turned into a wooden clone, it was still at a disadvantage in the battle with the Fourth Hokage.

After Obito joined the battle, the situation did not change much. He and the Wood clone were suppressed by the Fourth Hokage, but the two of them attracted firepower.

Black Zetsu, who had been dormant for a long time, also successfully obtained the Rinnegan and dived directly underground.

After Obito succeeded, he looked at the Fourth Hokage and said, "Fourth Hokage, you failed to protect the Nine-Tails and Kushina back then, and you still can't protect anyone now."

The harsh words made the Fourth Hokage frown, and he attacked Obito again.

After using Flying Thunder God and disappearing on the spot, the Fourth Hokage condensed a Rasengan in his hand and smashed it directly at Obito. The huge impact force knocked Obito to the ground.

Obito was tricked by the same method again and his teeth were about to break.

However, after being defeated by Bai Ye several times, he no longer forced himself, and used external forces such as Impure World Reincarnation to win, which could still prove his strength.

After biting his finger and summoning a few Impure World Ninjas on the spot, Obito flashed into the Kamui space.

Then his body slipped underground and came to a dark room several hundred meters deep underground.

He has to transplant the Rinnegan in a very short period of time in order to fully use the power of the Outer Path Statue, and during this period, it doesn't matter even if Uchiha Madara is defeated.

The Ten-Tails is a collection of the nine tailed beasts, possessing power that transcends the ninja world.

After Obito disappeared, the Fourth Hokage realized that he had lost him. Although his Flying Thunder God Technique could travel through space, he did not know Obito's specific coordinates and therefore could not track him.

After sighing softly, the Fourth Hokage rushed towards Uchiha Madara's place.

He has lost the masked man, but as long as Uchiha Madara can be sealed, there is still a chance for the Ninja World War. No matter how strong the masked man is, he cannot fight against the entire Ninja World on his own.

……

While the Fourth Hokage joined the battle, the Third Hokage and others went to the coalition base.

When Tsunade and the others saw Orochimaru and Jiraiya, they thought that these people were the masked man's men, sent to attack them.

After all, according to their intelligence, Jiraiya and the Third Hokage had been dead for a long time. And Orochimaru was a ninja on the side of the masked man and was their enemy.

Before Tsunade and the others were about to take action, Jiraiya reached out to stop them and said, "Tsunade, Orochimaru is not our enemy. He is on the side of the Allied Ninja Forces."

"On the side of the Allied Ninja Forces?"

Tsunade expressed some doubts about this, but soon noticed that Jiraiya was not in the state of Impure World Reincarnation. Not only Jiraiya, but even the Third Hokage was not in the Impure World Reincarnation state.

After seeing this scene, Tsunade was slightly stunned, and Ohnoki stepped forward and asked:
"Third Hokage, wasn't you, the old fox, killed by your apprentice? Could it be that the Konoha Collapse Plan was a scam carefully designed by you and Orochimaru? You Konoha are really... heavy-hearted."

The Third Hokage touched his nose, not knowing how to answer Ohnoki.

How could Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha be directed and acted out by him and Orochimaru themselves? But it seems even more difficult to accept for him to admit in person that he was killed by his apprentice.

The Fourth Raikage didn't care about Jiraiya and the Third Hokage. He glanced at the crowd and soon found Killer Bee with a pale face in the crowd and rushed over immediately.

"Kirabi, I'm so glad you're okay!"

Killer Bee said weakly, "Brother, Brother Eight-Tails is no longer with us. I am no longer the village's Jinchuriki, and I am no longer a good helper to Brother."

The Fourth Raikage quickly patted Killer Bee's shoulder and said, "It's enough for people to be alive. We don't know if we can survive this crisis. Byakuya was defeated, and even Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, was defeated."

"After you have rested for a while, come with me to face Uchiha Madara and see if we can win a future for the ninja world."

Seeing the Fourth Generation Rai Ying's deathly look, Jiraiya quickly said:
"Everyone, don't be too pessimistic. Although Uchiha Madara has emerged from the Impure World, we also have the First Hokage here. The First Hokage will definitely be able to defeat Uchiha Madara."

"The first Hokage was also impure?"

After hearing this news, Ōnoki's heart burned with hope and he said, "With the Shodaime Hokage joining us, we can finally defeat Uchiha Madara! I knew the Allied Ninja Forces would not lose."

At this time, Tsunade looked at Jiraiya, then looked at the Third Hokage and Orochimaru, and said, "What's going on with you? Why did Orochimaru join us?"

Faced with Tsunade's doubts, Jiraiya and the Third Hokage looked at each other and gave Tsunade a look.

Tsunade understood what he meant, and went to the corner with Jiraiya and the Third Hokage to listen to them talk about what had happened recently.

After hearing the whole story, Tsunade sighed softly:
"It seems that Bai Ye did not betray the coalition. Not only did he join the game to gain Uchiha Madara's trust, he even sent Jiraiya to Orochimaru in advance, leaving enough backup."

"It's a pity that Bai Ye still failed to stop Uchiha Madara and died in the siege..."

Jiraiya also sighed softly. He also thought that Bai Ye was an enemy, but if Bai Ye was really an enemy, then there would be no need for Bai Ye to use the Skysong Technique to teleport himself.

There is no coincidence in all this; it is all part of Bai Ye's plan.

But why didn't Byakuya personally bring the Shodai out of the world? Was it because he didn't have enough time, or was there some other reason? Jiraiya couldn't understand this either.

After sighing, Tsunade looked at Orochimaru and Shisui, and said with complicated eyes:

"I never thought that you two had been colluding and secretly murdered Elder Danzo. As the Hokage, I really don't know anything."

Shisui said with a normal expression:
"If Danzo wanted to attack me, it would be normal for me to kill him in return. As for joining forces with Orochimaru, it was also to avenge the great kindness of the Third Hokage."

"If you don't like what I'm doing, Lady Tsunade, you can leave the village like before, and I'll choose someone else to be the Hokage. Anyway, you've never cared about the village before..."

"I will only come back to express myself when I have no other choice."

Tsunade has never been a good-tempered person. She immediately launched an attack when she heard Shisui's words. Shisui was not polite at all and directly used Wood Release Ninjutsu to counterattack.

After seeing the Wood Release Ninjutsu, Tsunade was shocked: "Shisui, how come you have mastered Wood Release too?"

Shisui sneered, "There are still many things that Hokage-sama doesn't know. The techniques mastered by the Root are not just Wood Release. To tell you the truth, many Uchiha in the Root have mastered Wood Release."

"If we only look at Wood Release, you, the Hokage of Konoha, are not fit to be the Hokage at all."

Seeing Shisui and Tsunade quarreling, the Third Hokage quickly came over to act as a peacemaker: "Shisui, Tsunade, those things about the Uchiha were my fault, I..."

Before the Third Hokage could finish, Shisui and Tsunade retorted together: "Old man, you know you are wrong but you still don't shut up. If it weren't for you, the situation in Konoha would be so complicated today."

The Third Hokage fell into silence and looked at Orochimaru and Jiraiya as if seeking help.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya could do nothing about it. They respected the old man in their hearts, but the old man was too stubborn in some aspects and he indulged Danzo to do whatever he wanted, which was too much.

While the Konoha small theater was going on, Kabuto Yakushi and Sasuke, who had remained silent, walked over.

Yakushi Kabuto first greeted Orochimaru, then said:
"My Lords, Sasuke and I have used the Ryuchidong Senjutsu to locate the masked man. He is several hundred meters underground. In addition to him, there is also the presence of the Outer Path Demon Statue."

Orochimaru nodded and said to the others:

"The masked man actually went underground. He should be trying to transplant the Rinnegan to control the Ten-Tails. We must stop him, but how to go hundreds of meters underground is indeed a problem."

"Kabuto, can you use your senjutsu to take us down?"

Yakushi Kabuto thought for a moment and said, "Lord Orochimaru, I can take two or three ninjas with me to the underground, but no more."

"Two or three ninjas?"

Orochimaru fell into deep thought, thinking about who should go underground. He would definitely go, and Jiraiya and Tsunade could also go. Are there any other candidates besides these?

At this time, Kakashi came over: "My Mangekyō can connect to Obito's Kamui Space. If I want to stop Obito completely, I have to go there!"

Orochimaru and others also heard that the masked man was Obito.

When he was in the ninja school, Obito was the last in the class, but the last in the class is not always the last in the class. When Obito opened the double magatama Sharingan, he had already become a genius of Uchiha.

After being trained by Uchiha Madara, he grew into a powerful Kage-level warrior.

Now he has become the mastermind active in the dark corners of the ninja world.

After a brief hesitation, Orochimaru and the others decided to take Kakashi underground. Without Kakashi, even if they defeated Obito, he would still escape.

The rest of the people went to support the First, Second and Fourth Hokage, and were responsible for defeating Uchiha Madara.
