When Uehara Naraku charged towards Yakushi Kabuto, two whistling sounds pierced the air!
Two Yin Yang Release Black Rods instantly struck Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama, temporarily immobilizing both of them!
"Hey, kid, I'm here to help you!"
Tsunade stood beside Uehara Naraku and said in a low voice, "Those two Black Rods are synthesized by Nagato using Yin Yang Release Chakra, they should be able to temporarily immobilize them..."
"..."
This woman truly is Haruno Sakura's teacher!
Whenever Uehara Naraku plans to do something, they kindly come to mess it up...
Uehara Naraku had just wanted a good fight to let Yakushi Kabuto, his subordinate, witness his strength, but Tsunade came to compete in acting.
Unfortunately, there's no time to worry about that now.
Uehara Naraku glanced at Tsunade and then at Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama, who were temporarily immobilized, and sighed, "Is Nagato-sama only able to condense two Yin Yang Release Black Rods?"
"Hmm..."
Tsunade nodded, her expression somewhat complicated, "His aura is getting weaker and weaker... this is the last of his power now."
Though Nagato has harmed Konoha in many ways, ultimately, he is also a victim of our Konoha Traitor, not to mention that he is now working hard to atone for his mistakes.
Bringing up Nagato makes Tsunade's feelings truly complicated.
Of course, facing Uehara Naraku makes Tsunade's feelings even more complicated.
"Understood."
Uehara Naraku glanced at Tsunade, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Then please, Hokage-sama, leave here and help protect Nagato-sama for me! Leave this place to me!"
After saying this, Uehara Naraku paused and continued in a low voice, "If you stay here, I have to be distracted to protect you, they'll use you as a breakthrough point!
It seems like I'm holding the advantage now, but that's because they're relying on the Undying Body of Reanimation, which inevitably makes them more reckless in battle..."
Uehara Naraku looked at Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama, temporarily immobilized by the Black Rods, and said in a deep voice, "Moreover, with just two Yin Yang Release Black Rods, it's very hard to keep them under control..."
"What?"
Tsunade suddenly turned her head!
As expected, Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama, restored to their Reanimated bodies, broke through the Black Rods' restraint. To immobilize them, the number of Black Rods is far from enough!
To control Namikaze Minato, in his perfect Jinchuriki mode, and Chakra-strong Senju Tobirama, at least seven to eight Black Rods are needed to bind all their Chakra points!
As expected, in the next moment, Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato appeared beside Tsunade, each holding a Kunai, about to cut her!
"Watch out!"
Uehara Naraku leapt forward, grabbing Tsunade's arm, pulling her out of danger, and kicked Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato, one foot each, sending them flying!
Fortunately, Uehara Naraku intervened just in time, saving Tsunade.
After the Fifth Hokage was out of danger, she exhaled a sigh of relief and lowered her head, "Kid, thank you."
"No need to say that."
Uehara Naraku's expression immediately became serious, and he urged Tsunade in a low voice, "Hokage-sama, leave here quickly..."
"Then what about you?"
Tsunade furrowed her brows and asked, "Although you can still defeat them now, Reanimation beings do not die... If this continues..."
"I don't know."
Uehara Naraku glanced at Konan and Nagato in the distance, then turned to Yakushi Kabuto and said in a low voice, "Maybe after I deal with the trouble of Yakushi Kabuto, I might be able to release these people from the control of Reanimation..."
"No."
Tsunade shook her head and looked at all the Reanimation Ninjas present, saying softly, "Yakushi Kabuto is just a pawn brought to light; Orochimaru is the one manipulating everything behind the scenes!"
"Someone has to try!"
After saying this, a smile appeared on Uehara Naraku's face, "This is our mess, so let us resolve it! Whether it's Orochimaru or Yakushi Kabuto, we should at least try!"
"..."
Tsunade's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.
In such a vast battlefield, there wasn't anyone available to help.
These people have all been fighting for too long, merely being able to hold off a few Reanimation beings was already quite difficult.
Especially Uzumaki Naruto, Gaara, and Terumi Mei, who have fought against Pain, Konan, and Nagato in succession and were now confronting the Reanimation Ninjas.
Because of their efforts on the other side of the battlefield, only Uehara Naraku could hold off the likes of Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Obito, and Yakushi Kabuto.
Tsunade's feelings were extremely complicated.
These members of Akatsuki are truly both hateful and pitiable!
These people were manipulated and deceived behind the scenes, causing grave errors, and now they have to begin to amend those mistakes with their own lives.
Such is Nagato, and so is Uehara Naraku.
Under Uehara Naraku's constant urging, Tsunade could only choose to leave this generation's area to avoid delaying Uehara Naraku's battle, as she still had to help with support and healing everywhere.
"By the way, Lady Tsunade."
Uehara Naraku, while fighting Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama, after pushing these two guys back again, loudly stopped Tsunade: "In a while, I will launch a fierce attack against Yakushi Kabuto to attract him to send Reanimation Ninja to protect himself..."
Uehara Naraku looked at Tsunade and continued: "If Lady Hokage still has spare strength, quickly heal Mizukage, Kazekage, and Naruto, let them rest for a while... At least, this way we can rotate and prevent any of us from being powerless at the end."
"..."
Tsunade fell silent once more.
This meant Uehara Naraku was bearing all the pressure himself.
A moment later, Tsunade still nodded.
What Uehara Naraku said has always been Tsunade's concern.
If their entire front loses combat strength, they would be ripe for slaughter.
Now that Uehara Naraku proposed this plan, it is undoubtedly very beneficial for the overall situation, but for him, it is extremely dangerous.
Facing the attacks of so many Kage-level people, a slight mistake could lead to Kamikaze's demise.
Unfortunately, this is the only possible solution, and at least compared to others, Uehara Naraku's stamina and battle power are the most intact. The only thing Tsunade can do is to quickly help the others recover and replace Uehara in the battle.
"Okay, I understand."
After saying this, Tsunade's gaze was fixed on Uehara Naraku, speaking in a deep voice: "Hey, kid, don't lightly die here... We'll settle those matters you lied to me about once this battle is over!"
"..."
A smile timely appeared on Uehara Naraku's face.
Indeed, his plan is still advancing along its predetermined path.
Even though Tsunade was still talking about minding the things Naraku hid, from her hope for Uehara Naraku's survival, it could be seen that this woman had accepted Uehara again.
"Alright."
Uehara Naraku deeply looked at Tsunade, seriously nodding his head.
Uehara Naraku and Tsunade looked into each other's eyes, burying all past grievances on this battlefield.
At least, Tsunade thought so.
Therefore, when Tsunade went back, her attitude towards Nagato softened considerably, especially since the successor to Akatsuki is here fighting desperately...
With a touch of green chakra manifested on Tsunade's palm, it fell on Nagato's shoulder, helping him heal, trying to restore Nagato's stamina.
"Lady Tsunade."
Nagato looked at Tsunade helping him heal, after coughing a few times, strongly shook his head and said: "Don't waste chakra on me, the burden of the Rinnegan is too great, my life has reached its limit, I can only slowly recover my chakra... Please reserve the medical techniques for more valuable individuals!"
"...I understand."
Tsunade was silent for a moment, her hand falling from Nagato's shoulder, and continued in a low voice: "By the way, that little brat Uehara plans to launch a fierce attack to attract attention, freeing Mizukage and others temporarily for rest, thereby rotating in resistance against these Reanimation enemies..."
"So Uehara is taking on our responsibilities again..."
Nagato lowered his head, coughing a few times and saying: "We still can't seem to deal with these Reanimation ninjas?"
"For now, there's no better way."
After Tsunade sighed, she continued in a soft voice: "The sealing team ninjas in the village have been killed by our Second Grandpa and the Fourth Hokage, your Yin Yang Release Black Rod is effective but can only control them for a few seconds..."
"I see..."
Nagato slowly lowered his head.
The arrival of Uehara Naraku relieved their crisis, but the trouble with the Reanimation beings is not truly resolved, meaning the war must continue.
The Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, is completely suppressed by the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu, even though Terumi Mei has a Double Kekkeigenkai, she does not have the upper hand in a Mizukage internal war;
The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, is completely dominant, facing his father Rasa, Gaara can even suppress him somewhat!
However, Gaara's chakra is about to be exhausted, whereas Rasa possesses Infinite Chakra, making Gaara only able to barely stall;
Uzumaki Naruto is still fighting with the Second Tsuchikage Mu;
Rock Lee is still entangled with Reanimation Might Guy;
Konan is still vigilant of the elusive Uchiha Obito;
Looking across the entire battlefield, almost everywhere is at a disadvantage, perhaps because Uehara Naraku just joined the battle, his stamina and chakra are still plentiful, keeping him strong!
Uehara Naraku once again blasted Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato, step by step moving towards Yakushi Kabuto's direction: "Our battle can begin... Kabuto!"
"..."
Yakushi Kabuto's expression slightly altered.
The next moment, Yakushi Kabuto's expression returned to calm. He slowly adjusted his glasses, glanced at Uehara Naraku's actions, and subtly moved his lips.
"Yes, my lord."
