"Is this the power of the Uchiha?"
The ninjas stationed here looked at everything before them, their faces full of bitterness. They could do nothing in such a battle. That feeling of powerlessness made them uncomfortable, and even Kushina was somewhat dazed at this moment.
"That child Sasuke, has he actually grown to this extent?"
However, at this moment, she suddenly realized something was wrong, because Naruto wasn't making a big fuss at all.
Turning her head, she was astonished to find that her dear son was gone.
"Naruto?!"
Unfortunately, her voice was quietly covered by the roaring sound in the sky.
"Sasuke is actually here. This is perfect, it saves me the trouble of failing to attract Takemi's attention."
Within the Hyuga clan, Black Zetsu felt the intense battle outside and nodded slightly in his heart. He was actually frustrated. Takemi was in Konoha. If he brought Madara to retrieve it, Madara wouldn't be able to escape then.
But if he didn't bring Madara to retrieve it, either Takemi wouldn't discover him, or he wouldn't be able to escape either.
This awkward situation made him feel powerless, and now, this was the best outcome.
"Then it's time to retrieve what I left behind, and wait for Takemi to arrive. It's just that Takemi is unbelievably strong."
He had also been constantly understanding the current battlefield situation through the White Zetsu around him, naturally knowing everything that was happening outside.
Takemi, by himself, crushed tens of thousands of White Zetsu troops and casually dispersed four Edo Tensei.
"Not only that, Obito and Nagato are also suffering right now. It's terrifying."
To be honest, there were times when he even wondered if Takemi was actually an Ōtsutsuki. After all, being so strong made it hard not to arouse his suspicion, but he had no concrete evidence. Even if he found unusual Chakra on Takemi, it was still too different compared to Takeshiki.
"Forget it, I won't bother with him. For mother, I can only fight hard. It would be best if he could kill Obito, that would save a lot of trouble."
Black Zetsu muttered in his heart, and at the same time, he arrived in the hidden secret room of the Hyuga clan.
Stepping slowly towards the book, he didn't intend to take it directly, but rather to inspect it carefully. After all, last time the information was altered, which scared him to death. This time, he had to take a good look before doing anything.
"Then..."
Just as he was about to begin his inspection, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and a strange glow instantly flashed behind him.
"Rasengan!"
Accompanied by an angry roar, Naruto had appeared behind him at some point, and the giant Rasengan was already pressing down on him.
"Damn it, how is he here?!"
Black Zetsu's face changed dramatically at this moment. He didn't even have time to check and instantly grabbed the book, attempting to sink into the ground.
However, the Rasengan had already struck him. He felt nothing, but his other half, the White Zetsu, let out a heart-wrenching wail.
"You guys came here, and sure enough, you had a purpose. Don't think you can escape."
Naruto, however, didn't care about that and attacked Black Zetsu again.
'Trouble!'
Black Zetsu's already dark face showed a hint of pain. He really had no combat power, and he strongly suspected that a Flying Thunder God Mark had already been placed on him.
He had to find Madara now, and the item he had obtained absolutely could not fall into Naruto's hands.
'Right, Konoha also has Kabuto. He's Orochimaru's man.'
In an instant, Black Zetsu had an idea. His body rapidly split apart at this moment, while Naruto continued to attack relentlessly.
...
Rumble—
Outside Konoha, amidst deafening roars and violent ground tremors, Sasuke's Susanoo was instantly repelled.
Facing the enormous impact force and accompanying shockwaves, even Sasuke's Susanoo found it difficult to withstand. But he didn't care now, as he had achieved his goal.
Especially...
Whoosh... Whoosh...
Accompanied by waves of Chakra fluctuations, several figures instantly appeared around him.
"Finally, they're here."
Seeing the figures appearing around him, Sasuke secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while Madara appeared even more excited.
"Have you finally arrived, Hashirama?"
"Madara!"
Tobirama stared coldly at the figure before him, while Minato frowned deeply.
"Madara, huh."
"Long time no see."
Only Hashirama had a smile on his face. He looked up at the giant figure before him and spoke softly.
"Madara."
"Indeed, long time no see."
Madara's smile deepened. He nodded slightly and chuckled casually.
"It's just, three Kage and one Kage candidate, this scene is quite interesting. But it doesn't matter, this is just right for me."
"There's more than just one Kage candidate."
At this moment, Naruto's figure flickered, and he quietly arrived on the battlefield.
He unhappily glanced at Sasuke, then glared at Madara and shouted loudly.
"I'm also considered Takemi's subordinate. Besides, I already know your objective, you bastard."
"Oh?"
Madara raised an eyebrow. At this moment, he noticed that Black Zetsu had appeared beside his Susanoo, which instantly made him frown.
...
Meanwhile, on the Land of Hot Water battlefield, Takemi, who was heavily striking Nagato, Obito, and Kimimaro, suddenly paused.
Then, with a strange expression, he glanced towards Konoha, muttering to himself, "How did that broken thing end up in Kabuto's hands?"
"Damn it."
But as he pondered, Nagato, Obito, and Kimimaro each got up from the ground.
They were constantly panting, their bodies covered in wounds, yet their fighting spirit was exceptionally strong.
"Whether we are worthy or not..."
As soon as they finished speaking, black markings quietly appeared on the bodies of the three of them. These black markings rapidly covered their bodies, instantly changing their aura, and at the same time, the Chakra within them became even more abundant.
They glared at Takemi, letting out roars of anger.
"It's not for you to say!"
