Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 360 Shadow: Come on, let's meet old friends.
Seeing the gazes of the crowd sweeping over him, both overt and covert, Orochimaru, disguised as Rasa, knew he could no longer remain a bystander. A strange glint flashed in his eyes.

He licked his lips, his gaze fixed on Hiruko, who was locked in a fierce battle with Kakashi.

"Hehehe... Hiruko, my dear 'old friend'."

Orochimaru sneered silently to himself: "I didn't expect you to actually succeed, fusing so many bloodline limits into one body. You're simply delicious food!"

If we could kill it, and then devour its body...

However, before making his move, Orochimaru subtly glanced at the masked, silent "Anbu of Sunagakure" beside him.

It was Obito Uchiha in disguise.

Noticing Orochimaru's gaze, Obito nodded almost imperceptibly.

Immediately, he took a half step back, his figure disappearing into the deep shadow cast by the Ten-Tails statue, and the crimson patterns of the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in his eyes.

hum!
The space in front of him immediately began to distort and rotate, as if a calm water surface was being stirred, and a spiral-shaped spatial vortex with blurred edges and a deep center quickly took shape.

As usual, he would be sucked into his own space-time in the next moment.

But in that instant, something unexpected happened!
Within the entire first level of the underground palace, there are the souls of ninjas who have recently died in battle and whose spirits have not yet completely dissipated.

As if drawn by some invisible force, they transformed into countless visible, twisted, and wailing pale blue streams of light, struggling to peel away from the corpses on all sides.

Like moths drawn to a flame, they frantically surged towards the distorted spatial vortex.

"what happened?!"

To Obito's horror, he discovered that the Mangekyou Sharingan, which he had once controlled perfectly, had completely slipped out of his control!

Instead of sucking him into the Divine Might Space, it unleashed an irresistible and terrifying suction force targeting the soul!
What terrified him even more was...

"Stop! Stop it!" Obito desperately tried to interrupt Kamui by activating his eye power, but all his efforts were in vain, like a stone sinking into the sea.

His Mangekyou Sharingan seemed to have a valve forcibly pried open, greedily devouring the wandering souls in the underground palace, causing him to feel needle-like pain, and his eyes almost split open!

Whoohoo!
The mournful howls of souls intertwined with the distorted hum of space.

This sudden change instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield, and the chaotic battle paused for a moment.

"What are you doing?" Orochimaru's expression changed drastically.

"It wasn't me!" Obito knelt on one knee, clutching his uncontrollable Mangekyou Sharingan, letting out painful and labored gasps.

He could sense that his divine space was being forcibly invaded and filled by countless external souls, and something was condensing and being born!
What is it?
what exactly is it? !

Meanwhile, not far away, Kakashi Hatake, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Hiruko, was also alarmed by this terrifying torrent of souls.

He abruptly parried Hiruko's attack, then turned his head in surprise and uncertainty, his gaze instantly freezing on the figure kneeling on one knee, wearing a Sunagakure ANBU mask.

Despite the mask, the unique spatial and temporal fluctuations, the pained posture of covering one's eyes...

A name that was impossible yet incredibly familiar exploded in his mind!

"Obito?!" Kakashi's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief and shock.

How can it be?

Why is he here?

How come he's standing with the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure?
Could that Luo Sha be fake?
Not only Kakashi, but everyone else recognized Obito Uchiha's identity from this unique space-time ninjutsu.

All eyes, whether shocked, angry, or wary, focused on Uchiha Obito and "Rasa" in front of him.

Oops!

Orochimaru's heart sank.

Obito's unexpected exposure instantly dragged him into a dangerous situation. If his connection with Obito Uchiha were confirmed, his plan to infiltrate the Five Great Nations disguised as Rasa would be completely exposed, and he would become the target of everyone's wrath!
No more hesitation!

In a flash, Orochimaru made the most ruthless decision, one that was most befitting his role as the "Kazekage"!

"Damn it! You cowardly scoundrel!" He suddenly took several steps back, instantly creating distance between himself and Obito, while his hands rapidly formed hand seals.

Magnetic Escape·Golden Giant Needle!

With his angry shout, the pervasive gold dust frantically gathered around him, compressing and condensing into several gold dust spears that gleamed with a sharp, cold light, like siege crossbow bolts.

shhhhhh!
The giant gold needle, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, shot mercilessly toward the kneeling, immobile Uchiha Obito!

However, under everyone's watchful eyes, those incredibly powerful gold-flecked needles were swallowed up directly when they came into contact with the out-of-control expanding spatial vortex in front of Obito.

Luo Sha's face showed a timely expression of astonishment and solemnity, as if he was troubled by the strange spatial ability in front of him.

This swift and unexpected "cutting" did not harm Obito, but it successfully proved Rasa's identity with Magnet Release, clearing him of suspicion of colluding with Obito.

Everyone's attention was drawn back to Obito himself and the out-of-control vortex.

However, at this moment.

"Good evening, everyone."

A gentle voice, tinged with laughter, like a ghostly whisper, clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

The voice had a strange familiarity amidst its unfamiliarity.

Swish!
Led by Nagato, Konan, Jiraiya, and the others almost simultaneously raised their heads, their gazes all fixed on the highest point of the underground palace.

—Above the head of that towering, deathly-looking ten-tailed stone statue!
A tall, dark figure had appeared silently atop the menacing head of the stone statue.

He was draped in a robe that seemed to be woven from flowing darkness. The hem and wide sleeves of the robe moved without wind, and black liquid flowed continuously, eerily without being stained by any dust.

A wide hood hung low, completely shrouding his face in deep shadow, with only a playful gaze looking down at the crowd below who were on high alert.

He stood there quietly, as if he were one with the stone statue beneath his feet, exuding an aura of authority.

That is……

"film!"

A furious roar came from Xiao Nan's mouth.

A raging fire instantly ignited in her eyes, and pieces of paper flew wildly around her, revealing the intense turmoil within her.

Xiao Nan's voice was like cold water being poured into a boiling oil pan, instantly exploding in the crowd!

"what?"

"Is he 'Shadow'?"

Shock, fear, anger, wariness... a variety of emotions appeared on everyone's faces.

As if enjoying the crowd's reaction, "Shadow" let out a low, enigmatic laugh from beneath its hood: "Looks like I've arrived just in time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand, which was flowing with darkness, and pointed it at Uchiha Obito in the distance.

“Come on.” 'Shadow' chuckled lightly, her tone gentle yet carrying a chilling malice. “Meet an old friend.”

The moment the words fell, the out-of-control, expanding vortex that was frantically devouring souls suddenly trembled violently!
hum!
The deep darkness at the center of the vortex was no longer being blindly inhaled, but rather seemed to be forcibly stirred by an invisible giant hand, emitting a sharp, unbearable shriek.

The next moment, a white figure leaped out from the center of the distorted vortex.
