On top of a high mountain about a hundred miles south of Kumogakure, Obito Uchiha stepped out of a space-time vortex, landing on the windy peak.
Madara Uchiha sat cross-legged on the edge of the mist-shrouded cliff, one leg dangling over the edge. He held his Uchiha war fan, his somewhat unconventional black hair fluttering in the wind...
Now that Madara Uchiha was a reanimated body, he couldn't feel the wind, but he could recall the sensation.
Black and White Zetsu were next to Madara Uchiha, but only half of their body was exposed.
"Has the Eight-Tails been captured?" Madara Uchiha asked without turning his head.
"Yes. Once my depleted chakra recovers, we'll head to Konoha."
"As expected, Kumogakure will definitely send numerous personnel to notify Konoha as quickly as possible."
"We can't let Konoha prepare, or it will be troublesome," Obito Uchiha said flatly.
"How much time do you need?"
"Half a day at most."
"Good, we'll go ahead first."
With that, Madara Uchiha didn't wait for Obito Uchiha's response and leaped off the mist-shrouded cliff...
Obito Uchiha returned to his Kamui dimension to recover.
After falling for several hundred meters, Madara Uchiha slapped the cliff wall with his war fan. With a bang, dust filled the air, and debris flew. Using the recoil, he shot straight towards another, shorter mountain...
Madara Uchiha could have used his Perfect Susanoo to fly directly to Konoha, but having not appeared in the mortal world for so long, he was somewhat interested in the various lively foods of the mortal world.
Meanwhile, Killer B also conveyed the Eight-Tails Gyūki's thoughts to his big brother.
The Fourth Raikage didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.
This time, Kumogakure had not only suffered heavy losses but also suffered a great humiliation!
Since the founding of Kumogakure, no enemy had ever been so presumptuous in the village. It was undoubtedly a great humiliation for the current Raikage!
Whether for public or private reasons, it could not be tolerated!
...
Around two in the afternoon, the sky was high and the clouds were light. The sun was high and bright. Konoha was orderly, and the atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful.
Just then, a space-time vortex appeared on the roof of the Hokage Tower...
In the Hokage's office, Kageyama Kogetsu, who had just finished his lunch break and was about to handle administrative affairs, sensed the space-time fluctuations on the roof. He immediately put down his pen and flashed away.
As soon as Obito Uchiha emerged, he saw Kageyama Kogetsu standing in front of him, wearing his unique Hokage robe. The face under the mask stiffened...
"Why are you here?"
"Hehe, reversing the natural order? That's my line," Kageyama Kogetsu sneered.
"Regardless of whose line it is, I'll give you a chance. Hand over the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, or Konoha will fall today," Obito Uchiha threatened coldly, feeling unhappy.
"Tch, with just you, my defeated opponent?" Kageyama Kogetsu said with utter disdain.
"Today is different from the past. I've given you a chance, but you didn't take it."
With that, Obito Uchiha was about to form hand seals to summon the Six Paths of Jinchūriki Pain...
However, Kageyama Kogetsu was faster. He lifted a finger, and two streaks of blue-white lightning shot out—one aimed at Obito's forehead, the other at his hand forming the seals.
Relying on the dynamic vision of his Mangekyō Sharingan, Obito Uchiha judged that he would be hit before he could finish the seals. Getting his head pierced would be the end.
Helpless, Obito Uchiha had to dodge and then restart the seals. However, damn it, the lightning could turn!
"Storm Release?" Obito Uchiha exclaimed in shock and uncertainty while dodging.
"Yeah, I developed it. Impressive, right?"
"Although I don't know what you want to do, stopping the enemy from doing what they want is enough, even if you're here to wish me a happy birthday," Kageyama Kogetsu said with a beaming smile.
"Hmph, don't get cocky!"
Obito Uchiha snorted coldly and activated the somewhat unfamiliar Blocking Technique Absorption Seal, absorbing the incoming lightning completely.
Controlling the Six Paths of Jinchūriki Pain and the Impure World Reincarnation consumed too much chakra and energy. He usually didn't use the Six Paths abilities, but that didn't mean he didn't know how.
"Oh, so impressive. Then absorb this."
Kageyama Kogetsu feigned surprise with an exaggerated expression. He waved his right hand, and three sharp black rods shot towards Obito's forehead, heart, and lower abdomen.
Shinra Tensei!
Obito Uchiha didn't want the black rods to get close to him, lest he be ambushed by the Flying Thunder God Technique, so he directly repelled them.
To be fair, the Kamui ability was indeed powerful. Used well, Obito Uchiha could deal with 99.9% of the enemies in the ninja world with this ability.
However, Kageyama Kogetsu was one of the very few enemies that Kamui couldn't solve...
Swoosh!
Kageyama Kogetsu disappeared from his spot and threw a punch without any fancy moves. The repulsive force layer was like tofu under his fist, offering no resistance.
Obito Uchiha quickly entered his intangible state, dodging the blow.
"Heh... if you have the guts, stay in that state forever and don't materialize!"
Kageyama Kogetsu turned around with a sneer, his body sticking close to Obito Uchiha, giving him no time to cast any jutsu.
He was the Hokage. If something happened in Konoha, wouldn't that be a slap in his face?
"Greetings, Lord Hokage!" The Konoha ninja who swarmed onto the roof bowed in unison.
"You don't need to intervene. The village is entering a state of emergency. Go evacuate the people, leave only one squad here."
"If I'm not in the village, listen to the command of the three elders."
"Yes, Lord Hokage!" Everyone immediately obeyed and scattered quickly.
The main body of White Zetsu, who had infiltrated Konoha, saw Obito Uchiha being humbled and wanted to go notify Madara Uchiha for support...
"Can you leave?"
Kageyama Kogetsu threw a black rod. With lightning speed, the black rod pierced through two buildings to the west and embedded itself into the concrete of the top floor of a third building.
Amidst the dust, the main body of White Zetsu, precisely hit in the head, groaned and died instantly.
"Tch, did you really think I couldn't discover you humanoid creatures?"
"I was just too lazy to deal with you, playing along with your game."
The main body of White Zetsu was bold due to his skills and was the closest, so he was the first to suffer.
Obito Uchiha was startled but didn't want to yield. He said coldly, "Don't be smug. There's more than one White Zetsu in Konoha."
"When my support arrives, once I free my hands, I will definitely destroy Konoha!"
"Hmph, stop boasting. Do you think they can escape just because they're far away?"
As Kageyama Kogetsu spoke, he threw three black rods from each hand with force...
Enhanced by terrifying power, they turned into six black streaks of light, like six black lightning bolts, piercing through all obstacles while avoiding the people of Konoha.
The six black rods pierced into trees, the ground, water, or buildings.
Not a single White Zetsu could escape, and every White Zetsu had their head pierced by a black rod, dead as a doornail.
"Guess if they escaped?" Kageyama Kogetsu smiled confidently.
Under the mask, Obito Uchiha's face darkened, but he soon regained his calm confidence.
"So what if you killed them all?"
"If they don't see me making any noise after a while, they will automatically come to support, hehehe..." Obito Uchiha laughed sinisterly.
Kageyama Kogetsu's smile remained unchanged. He said calmly, "You have a point... how about this?"
"If we're going to fight, let's fight outside. As long as you defeat me and crush Konoha, the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki will be yours for the taking."
"Your ability might not last until they arrive, right?"
"Maybe they'll think you got delayed doing something else, like visiting a graveyard."
Obito Uchiha's heart skipped a beat, almost jumping out of his throat...
