Chapter 499: Almost Complete
The news that Madara had fully resurrected himself by sacrificing Obito soon spread throughout the world.
The troops headed by Yamanaka Inoichi are not incompetent. Even if they are located in the rear, they can pass information to various troops as soon as possible.
At this time, each unit suffered heavy losses and barely completed the siege of Amegakure.
The reason why it is reluctant is because there are still many battles breaking out.
The Edo Tensei ninjas are extremely difficult to deal with. Everyone has a Sharingan and can activate Izanagi to avoid the seal.
You must know that those who can be resurrected at this time are all beings who survived the Pure Land War. They are all strong and naturally have extremely rich combat experience.
After being sealed once, they will be alerted immediately after escaping through the Sharingan, and will not easily be sealed twice by the same means.
At this time, the ninja coalition was at a loss, and their losses were increasing.
Fortunately, there are many strong people on the coalition side. Konoha Village dispatched more than ten shadow-level strong men, who can resist the enemy's Edo Tensei strong men on various battlefields and expand the results step by step.
But there is no doubt that the most troublesome battle occurred in the area responsible for the first unit.
There is a Thousand-Armed Pillar Room here.
"Be careful, another shock wave is coming!!"
"Wow, here we go again, how many people will die this time?"
The people in the first unit were frightened and dispersed in a hurry.
But even so, there are still unlucky people who are taken away by the spreading aftermath, leaving no traces left, which is extremely miserable.
Everyone else is a little numb.
"Who would have thought that the one who reduced our number the most was not the White Zetsu army, but the first Hokage and the top experts on our side."
Jiraiya, the commander of the first unit, only felt his scalp numb.
Shima sat on Jiraiya's shoulders, with a look of helplessness on her face: "Their battle is still going on. After fighting for so long, the only result is to remove the Uzumaki Mito. It will take a long time for the two of them to join forces to defeat Senju Hashirama."
"I remember that in the Battle of the Valley of the End, the First Generation and Uchiha Madara fought for three days and three nights before deciding the winner. However, the First Generation died shortly after the battle."
Jiraiya was a little hesitant.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that Kazue's strength should be stronger than that of the first Hokage?
After all, it can make Madara, who has the wood escape blood successor and the Rinnegan, have no choice but to retreat. She should have a certain advantage against the first generation - at least she will not be defeated and killed.
If the stalemate really continues, let alone three days and three nights, it may take seven days or even longer!
But with Sasuke's help, it definitely won't take so long.
"Our troops have suffered too much loss. There were 15,000 ninjas when we went into battle, but now we have lost more than 6,000 people." Jiraiya had a headache.
Out of the more than 6,000 people, at least 2,000 were killed by the spread of the aftermath, which is outrageous.
"Actually, we have the upper hand in terms of strength here. If these Edo Tensei ninjas hadn't all possessed the Sharingan, our losses wouldn't have been so great." Shima comforted him.
But what they don't know is that this loss is already extremely low, thanks to the current extremely powerful Konoha Village, and the number of Edo Tensei ninjas summoned by Orochimaru and Kabuto is very small, even if the average person has Sharingan, as long as the Edo Tensei is clear, the intelligence of the ninja will not affect the overall situation.
In the original timeline, the White Zetsu army numbered 100,000 people, plus a large number of Edo Tensei ninjas participating in the battle. As for the coalition forces, the total strength is 80,000.
When the war advanced to the middle stage, the coalition forces had already lost 40,000 people.
A group of these 40,000 people will die in the subsequent battles, and the rest will have a chance to reach the decisive battlefield and besiege Obito, Madara and the Ten-Tails.
When the Fourth War is completely over, there may not even be 10,000 people left.
"I just hope that Kazue and Sasuke can defeat the first generation as soon as possible. The first generation with Izanagi and unlimited chakra..." Jiraiya had a headache.
Not long after, Jiraiya learned the news about Madara's complete resurrection, and was immediately shocked.
"Madara is resurrected, and the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails are in the Land of Thunder?!" Jiraiya hesitated.
Now, either continue to attack Amegakure, or immediately change direction and move towards the Kingdom of Thunder.
"Jiraiya-sama, the headquarters ordered us to suspend our operations!" a ninja shouted.
All troops gathered around the outskirts of Amegakure, waiting for new orders from the rear.
The current situation is a dilemma.
Forcibly attacking Amegakure, they are not strong enough.
Even if they turn around and attack the Kingdom of Thunder to protect the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, they may not be able to do so in time.
Anyway, they have the second tail in their hands, so there is no need to be too radical.
...
Amegakure.
"Well, in this way, all seven tailed beasts have been sealed, and only the eight and nine tails are left. Obito and Xu still haven't come back?"
Nagato slowly opened his eyes and looked around.
Several figures fell into silence.
During this period, they worked day and night to seal the tailed beast, and successfully made the Gedo statue open six eyes, and one only opened a slit.
"It's really slow. There is no news until now. It seems to be a failure. But with the strength of the two of them, they can't take down Naruto?" Konan was very confused.
Naruto is indeed very strong, but if Obito and Xu join forces, there should be a chance.
"It was probably an accident." Kisame said with a smile, "Then what should we do now? Should we recover the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, or should we defeat the coalition forces outside first? They have surrounded us."
Nagato said without hesitation: "The priority is to recover the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails. As long as the Ten-Tails can be resurrected, the so-called coalition will be vulnerable to a single blow."
"Then, let's rush to the Kingdom of Thunder now, just in case, we need to bring the Gedo statue with us..."
Nagato hasn't finished speaking yet.
Bang.
The Gedo statue that swallowed the six tailed beasts and the two-tailed chakra turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.
"???"
Where is my Gedo statue?
A few people were silent for a while.
"Uchiha Madara, that bastard!!" Nagato was shaking with anger.
They stayed awake for so many days, and finally completed the seal, and were about to reap the fruits of victory.
That bastard Madara funnelled the Gedo statue away without even saying hello? !
What Nagato couldn't accept the most was that he had been in charge of the Gedo golem for so many years, but now it was so easily taken away by Madara.
"Isn't Madara a dead person? Why does he need the Gedo statue?" Hiruko asked.
Nagato lowered his head and thought for a moment.
Stealing the Gedo golem means that Madara needs this thing, but Madara is very powerful and does not need the Gedo golem to improve his strength...
So...
"Madara must have taken action. He appeared in the Kingdom of Thunder. He may have obtained the Nine-Tails, but I didn't sense any fluctuations in the outbreak of a war in the direction of the Kingdom of Thunder."
Nagato's face looked a little ugly.
He thought of Black Zetsu again.
This guy Black Zetsu must be the back-up man arranged by Madara, and he can't even control Obito.
So, Madara has been resurrected and got the Rinnegan Eye from Black Zetsu?
"That bastard wants to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki! I will never allow it!"
Nagato looked at everyone and said in a cold voice: "Let's take action immediately and target the Kingdom of Thunder!"
"What about the coalition forces surrounding us outside?"
"Don't worry about those guys!"
Everyone in the Akatsuki organization looked at each other and could only act.
Although, some of them don't want to go to the Kingdom of Thunder at all, such as Hiruko.
Hiruko wanted to search for the whereabouts of Katsuyu, and then devour the Slug Sage as soon as possible.
The current ninja world is full of wars and deaths, and strong men from all walks of life are fighting, which is too dangerous.
Hiruko would rather focus on improving his own strength. Only with strength can he be qualified to participate in many things, otherwise he is only qualified to be a supporting role.
"I think..." Hiruko was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"I don't want your opinion, just heed my order! Or do you want to resist my order?" Nagato stared with Rinnegan at Hiruko.
"...No, of course I will obey your orders."
Hiruko said this while cursing crazily in his heart.
The group of people just started taking action.
A White Zetsu came belatedly: "Madara has been resurrected, and he also got the Rinnegan from Black Zetsu."
"Who cast the reincarnation technique?" Nagato asked immediately.
"Obito, he has been controlled by Madara many years ago and became a sacrifice for the technique."
"Hmph, as expected... Madara can't just pick the heir casually, that's what he had in mind."
Nagato took the lead in flying into the sky.
Hiruko launches a quick escape, which is frighteningly fast.
Might Duy also activated the Eight Gate form, intending to maintain the Eight Gate form for a long time and rush to the Kingdom of Thunder at super speed.
Konan also fly.
There was only Kisame left, with an ugly expression on his face: "They will arrive at the Land of Thunder soon, what should I do? I can't stay and fight against tens of thousands of ninja coalition forces."
"That is easy, I'll carry you on my back, come on." Might Duy offered.
"Get out of here, I'd rather die!" Kisame took a step back.
Nagato said: "Konan, you use the paper crane to carry Kisame, let's go first."
Several people left one after another.
Konan's flying speed is not fast, and now it is even slower with Kisame.
The sensor ninjas of the Ninja Alliance noticed several figures flying quickly to the east in Amegakure and reported them immediately.
The armies from all walks of life immediately took action, marching into Amegakure together, and fought with the 20,000 White Zetsu stationed in Amegakure.
"So, except for White Zetsu, all the core members of the Akatsuki organization have left? To go to the Kingdom of Thunder?"
"Yes, even the Gedo statue are gone! Several tailed beasts are even missing!"
The captains of several troops gathered together, each with ugly expressions.
Ahead, the fighting was in full swing.
Facing the powerful coalition forces, the White Zetsu army without the ninjas from the Edo Tensei retreated steadily, falling into an absolute disadvantage in terms of quantity and quality.
Victory is only a matter of time.
But this kind of victory clearly beats loneliness.
A large number of troops were lost, and only the mass-produced White Zetsu and many Edo Tensei ninjas who were dead were killed. There were still many Edo Tensei ninjas that had not been killed, and various strong men were fighting with them.
When things came to a head, the enemy moved away the base camp!
"Hey, old man, are you still having fun? I'm tired of blowing up these white guys! I haven't seen any official members of the Akatsuki organization!"
Deidara yelled and broke into the camp, venting his dissatisfaction.
"Ah, Deidara, you are still alive." Onoki, who had already flown to the front line, said casually.
"Old man, what are you talking about! I haven't pushed my artistic attainments to the extreme, how could I die in the hands of these guys! I want to ask why I haven't seen Master Yuuji for so long. Of course I want to take a closer look at his art!" Deidara shouted.
His problem is also the problem of several people present.
"I also want to ask, our troops have captured Amegakure, but why Yuuji still didn't show up?" Onoki looked at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was also puzzled.
Who knows?
He wanted to know too.
Logically speaking, Yuuji has always stepped forward when the village faced difficulties, and this has been the case for many years.
But now, the Fourth Ninja World War has broken out, and people are looking at the dead every moment, but there is no sign of Yuuji, and he doesn't know what he is doing.
"Maybe he has a special plan of action..."
"You mean Madara and Naruto? But he didn't participate in the war, yet Madara got resurrected! I'm not blaming him, I just don't understand." Onoki said.
Jiraiya was silent.
He doesn't understand either.
He don't know if it's an illusion, but over the past year, he always feel that Yuuji has undergone subtle changes, and he won't take action if he can.
Perhaps something unknown happened quietly.
...
The country of thunder.
Obito was lying on the ground, already dying, with only one breath left to carry him.
"You're still alive, you're so stubborn, Obito."
Tobi whispered: "Now their attention is not on you, otherwise I will secretly kill you."
"..."
There were so many nonsense in these words that Obito didn't know what to say for a moment. He just spat out a mouthful of blood with a lot of internal organs.
"If I leave your body now, you will die immediately. There is no need to struggle, you have exhausted your life force." Tobi said, about to leave Obito.
Tobi is a special white Zetsu. He has been worn as Obito's skin for many years to enhance Obito's chakra and wood escape power.
By now, Obito has exhausted his value and is of no use anymore. Tobi wants to return to Madara.
"Um?"
But as soon as it moved, it unexpectedly found that it was restrained by Obito.
"You won't let me go? What's the point?" Tobi was puzzled.
Humans are really difficult creatures to understand.
"It doesn't matter, just keep this tool with him."
Madara noticed Obito's last struggle, turned around, and said indifferently: "He sacrificed for me, so let him breathe. I will personally send him to the Infinite Tsukuyomi later, so that he can be alive before he dies. Have everlasting peace."
"As you command, Madara-sama." Tobi began to share his power with Obito, and took Obito's breath away.
"Are you pitying me?" Obito was finally able to speak normally. He twitched the corners of his mouth and spoke with a bit of self-deprecation.
"No, I am respecting you. In any case, you have indeed made a significant sacrifice for world peace. As Madara, you are qualified. The part that belongs to you has come to an end, and it will be up to me next."
Madara patted the ground.
Huge smoke rising.
The violent Gedo statue suddenly appeared here.
"Seven Eyes, it seems they have completed the seal... Even Nagato was fooled..." A trace of sarcasm appeared on Obito's lips.
