Chapter 526 Senior and Junior Brothers, It's Time to Settle Accounts with Nagato
"Stretch out, Monkey King."
In the blink of an eye, just as Obito was about to make his move, the Third Hokage shouted and a staff that stretched and thickened from afar struck the Nine-Tails' jaw, severing the half-condensed Tailed Beast Ball and knocking it back hundreds of meters.
"Spiritual communication..."
Almost simultaneously, Orochimaru and Tsunade shouted in unison, and the slug and Manda reappeared, attacking the Nine-Tails from the left and right.
"It's the Third Hokage, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and the others..."
Seeing the reinforcements arrive, Obito breathed a sigh of relief and quickly dispelled his fully charged eye technique. If he had unleashed that Kamui, he would have definitely collapsed from exhaustion due to chakra depletion.
Just as Obito turned pale and gasped for breath, Fugaku appeared in a flash, asking, "Obito, where's the Fourth Hokage?"
"Minato-sensei? Uh, I don't know. He should be here soon, why hasn't he shown up yet?"
Obito scratched his head, belatedly realizing what was happening. Connecting the dots with the Rinnegan in Kurama's mind, he frowned and immediately felt a sense of foreboding!
Meanwhile, inside Konoha Village.
I'm sorry, Obito. I have a more important mission than defeating the Nine-Tails, and I also believe that you can defeat the Nine-Tails and the mastermind behind it all, Nagato.
Standing on her rooftop, Nohara Rin looked helplessly at the interrupted Tailed Beast Ball and the raging Nine-Tails on the back mountain of Konoha.
Watching over the house was the most important task Ishikawa had entrusted to her!
This matter involves connecting two worlds, and she absolutely cannot afford to lose her composure under these circumstances.
Just then, "Whoosh—"
Suddenly, Kakashi appeared with Kushina's Naruto in a Shunpo teleportation. "Rin, just as Minato-sensei said, your true form is here."
"Minato-sensei??" Nohara Rin was surprised and doubtful. She hadn't told anyone about using Shadow Clone Technique, so how did Minato-sensei know?
“I don’t know the specifics either. Minato-sensei wants you to immediately use the Three-Tails’ chakra to stabilize Kushina-sama, and then reseal the Nine-Tails after he defeats the enemy,” Kakashi urged succinctly, picking up Naruto and looking around with a serious expression.
His mission was to protect Naruto and his master's wife, and to relocate at any time based on the Fourth Hokage's signals.
As for the Nine-Tails? Minato-sensei said that with the Third Hokage and the others around, there's nothing to worry about...
"I see." Nohara Rin immediately understood upon hearing this, and the crimson tail of the tailed beast chakra burst out of her body and surged into Kushina's body.
Although this doesn't achieve the same effect as a Jinchuriki, sharing the Tailed Beast's chakra can still help the extremely weak Kushina recover and maintain her vital signs!
"Where's Minato? How's Kurama doing?" Kushina, who was naturally a vortex-type, immediately sat up and asked anxiously while holding little Naruto.
"The Nine-Tails is being suppressed by the Third Hokage and the others. As for Minato-sensei..." Kakashi explained, his eyes grave, "Minato-sensei is tracking down the mastermind behind it all!"
"The mastermind behind this??" Kushina and Rin Nohara exclaimed simultaneously, their eyes flashing with worry and certainty.
This is the Uchiha clan's territory.
"The Heavenly Path has been defeated? A space-time eye technique, huh? As expected of the Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan. It seems I have no choice but to leave!" Holding Sasuke's newborn sister in one hand, Nagato's eyes flashed with astonishment and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He thought that the combination of the Deva Path and the Nine-Tails could create chaos and control Konoha, but it seems he underestimated Konoha's strength.
"It's impossible for the Hokage's child tonight, so let's take this brat instead. Such a young two-tomoe Sharingan, he's quite a genius!" Nagato turned his gaze to the unconscious Itachi and reached out to grab him.
Although the plan wasn't completed, capturing Sasuke Uchiha's younger siblings was still valuable. Even without using them as test subjects, negotiating to get back the Rinnegan wasn't impossible.
As for the Amaterasu, the hidden eye technique that Itachi saw earlier? Heh, it has absolutely no effect against Shinra Tensei!
"call out--"
In the blink of an eye, just as Nagato was about to grab Itachi's body, a Flying Thunder God kunai arrived in an instant.
【This is!!】
A flicker of surprise and doubt flashed in Nagato's eyes, and she instinctively pulled back to create some distance.
But in that split second, "Rasengan" appeared.
With a flash of golden light, the Fourth Hokage suddenly appeared, grabbing a Flying Thunder God Kunai with his left hand and hurling a Rasengan straight at Nagato's chest with his right.
So fast! Too late...
Seeing that the opponent's attack was too fast to be blocked, Nagato's left Mangekyou Sharingan trembled slightly and his eye technique was unleashed.
The next instant, to the astonishment of the Fourth Hokage, a heavy iron door appeared out of thin air, and the Rasengan slammed into it with a bang, tearing a hole in it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nagato retreated dozens of meters to create distance!
"You actually managed to find this place. No wonder you are the famous Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash." Nagato looked directly at the Fourth Hokage for the first time.
His senses were incredibly sharp; the fact that he hadn't detected any trace of the other party's movements just now was enough to demonstrate the other party's strength.
"Hehe, I was also surprised by your ability just now." The Fourth Hokage chuckled and spoke tentatively, but out of the corner of his eye, he was watching Sasuke and secretly thought that something was wrong.
Now he's been taken hostage by the other side, and if he's not mistaken, Nagato's left eye is the Mangekyou Sharingan!
That technique was very sudden; an iron gate appeared out of thin air without any warning. It was definitely the opponent's Mangekyou Sharingan technique.
Thinking of this, the Fourth Hokage silently stepped in front of Itachi, saying, "I think we might be able to find another place; this place isn't suitable for the upcoming battle."
"Not suitable? I think this place is quite nice." Nagato sneered and shook his head in refusal, then glanced around at the angry glares of the Uchiha. "Here, I can act without restraint!"
The Uchiha members were about to react when they saw the Fourth Hokage calmly raise his hand and press down, saying, "No, you will come with me."
At this point, the Fourth Hokage pointed to the black Zetsu markings that stretched from his lower abdomen to the corner of his eye. "I know everything about you! Including the secret of the Rinnegan and the truth about your parents' deaths."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Nagato's expression changed drastically and his breath hitched, but then a strong sense of doubt followed.
How could the Fourth Hokage, who was younger than him, know about what happened when he was a child?
"Because this guy is the embodiment of Madara Uchiha's will..."
Seemingly sensing Nagato's surprise, the Fourth Hokage pointed to the Black Zetsu markings on his body and uttered a startling statement!
