Though he wasn’t Shin’s match before, Obito still held some confidence.
If he obtained the other half of the Nine-Tails… The Ten-Tails’ power would be complete—and his strength would rise to another level!
Perhaps then he could defeat Shin Uzumaki!
But now was not the time to focus on that. Eliminating his teacher, then forcing Konoha to hand over Naruto—that was Obito’s current goal.
And because the Ten-Tails hadn’t reached its complete state yet, he couldn’t use Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Faced with Obito’s sharp attacks, Minato Namikaze dodged them narrowly.
“<Kamui!>”
The space around Obito distorted, as if trying to tear his body apart. This was, of course, Kakashi’s attack.
“Kakashi.”
Obito glanced at Kakashi—his expression extremely complicated. Kakashi’s power certainly couldn’t harm him, but Obito still couldn’t bring himself to harm Kakashi—however, he could definitely bring himself to harm Minato Namikaze.
This showed that the bond between teacher and student wasn’t deep enough.
Actually, Minato Namikaze should thank Obito for being reanimated. It was Obito who had saved Minato from the Shinigami’s stomach—
Saved him only to kill him again…
“<Six Red Yang Formation!>”
Obito alone used the Six Red Yang Formation, which was even stronger than the Four Red Yang Formation, trapping Minato Namikaze inside.
Kakashi was isolated outside.
Minato Namikaze looked at Obito with confusion. The Six Red Yang Formation alone couldn’t trap him.
This Six Red Yang Formation barrier was indeed powerful—even a Ten-Tails Tailed Beast Ball probably couldn’t break it. But Minato Namikaze had Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Just as Minato Namikaze was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, Obito sneered coldly. ‘Since you’re in, do you think you can get out?’
Minato Namikaze’s face changed.
His Flying Thunder God Kunai were gone from the outside… He needed a formula to use his Space-Time Ninjutsu.
And now, all the formulas were inside the Six Red Yang Formation barrier.
The Flying Thunder God Kunai he had left outside had all been secretly collected by White Zetsu.
White Zetsu’s actions were very stealthy—even Minato Namikaze hadn’t noticed. And White Zetsu had enough clones—dozens of White Zetsu clones had instantly collected all of Minato Namikaze’s Flying Thunder God Kunai.
———
“DIE!”
Obito sneered sinisterly, then released a Ten-Tails Tailed Beast Ball within the Six Red Yang Formation.
Everything inside the Six Red Yang Formation was turned to dust.
Including Minato Namikaze. His body was directly pulverized.
However, Minato Namikaze was an Edo Tensei. Even if not a speck of dust remained, he would be fine. His body was regenerating.
Obito Uchiha had naturally anticipated this. He certainly wouldn’t allow Minato Namikaze’s body to regenerate again.
A Truth-Seeking Orb from behind him flew over, erasing Minato Namikaze’s body. Edo Tensei couldn’t regenerate from that.
It had to be said, Minato Namikaze was somewhat pitiful—being killed by his student again after being revived—though Minato Namikaze wasn’t killed by Obito directly before, he had died because of Obito.
———
After killing Minato Namikaze, Obito was very calm. He glanced at Kakashi outside, then left.
As for Kakashi, his speed certainly couldn’t compare to Obito’s. And Obito could fly.
After becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, Obito gained the ability to float, moving through the air at extreme speed, even faster than the Fourth Raikage using Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
“Damn it! Where’s Sensei?”
Kakashi, seeing Minato Namikaze hadn’t appeared for so long, knew something must have happened.
Not caring about anything else, Kakashi immediately chased in the direction Obito had gone.
———
In a flash, Obito appeared before the Five Kage. The Five Kage hadn’t had time to go seal the other reanimated individuals before being blocked by Obito.
“He was dealt with so quickly…” Nawaki’s mouth twitched.
“Hand over the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki. Otherwise, everyone in the Allied Shinobi Forces will die under a Tailed Beast Ball.” Obito said calmly to the Five Kage.
He didn’t act. He wanted to force the Five Kage to hand over the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, Naruto. He believed they knew how to choose.
Ōnoki looked at Nawaki. If possible, he wouldn’t mind sacrificing one Naruto.
After all, Ōnoki wasn’t familiar with Naruto. Naruto’s life and death had nothing to do with him.
“Third Tsuchikage, even if we hand over Naruto, it’s useless. He is still our enemy, and he will become even harder to deal with.” Gaara said to Ōnoki.
Through Ōnoki’s gaze, Gaara understood Ōnoki’s meaning. But Gaara absolutely would not allow Naruto to be sacrificed.
Naruto was his best friend. Gaara didn’t want to see Naruto get into trouble. Moreover, what he said was a fact.
Even if they handed over Naruto, it would be useless…
In the end, this matter wouldn’t be settled. The opponent’s goal was to pull the entire world into a genjutsu. They were fighting to prevent this outcome. Handing over Naruto would be tantamount to giving up resistance.
So, not only could they not hand over Naruto, but they also had to protect him, protect him from being captured by Obito.
Ōnoki pondered for a moment after hearing this, then became resolute. Gaara was right.
If they could exchange Naruto for peace, Ōnoki would choose to hand Naruto over without hesitation, even if Naruto wasn’t from his village, Ōnoki would force Konoha to hand him over—
But now, handing over Naruto was digging a hole for themselves!
———
“It seems you’ve made your choice. In that case, prepare to collect the corpses of your village’s ninja.” A cold glint flashed in Obito’s eyes.
Then he prepared to release a Tailed Beast Ball at the Allied Shinobi Forces. As for the White Zetsu mixed in with the Allied Shinobi Forces, Obito naturally wouldn’t care about their lives.
“STOP!”
Just as Obito was about to use the Tailed Beast Ball, a loud roar came from afar, and Naruto was desperately rushing over.
“Looks like I don’t need you anymore. He came on his own.”
Obito abandoned the Five Kage and rushed towards Naruto.
“We have to stop Obito! We absolutely can’t let him capture Naruto Uzumaki!” Ōnoki took the lead to rescue Naruto.
At the same time, he secretly cursed Naruto.
‘Of all the times to show up, you had to show up now??’ Ōnoki wanted to slap Naruto dead.
Ōnoki’s speed was not slow. With his Light-Weight Rock Technique, he could reduce his own weight and increase his speed.
But no matter how fast Ōnoki was, he couldn’t compare to Obito.
By the time Ōnoki started chasing, Obito had already arrived in front of Naruto.
