Konoha Notes

Chapter 283 Ending
Another priestess appeared.

The ninjas could no longer afford to lose, and even if it meant using a young priestess, they had to seal him away immediately.

Sensing Shion's presence, Mouryou was certain that even though the attacks over the past few days had not made any progress on the front lines, the five great ninja villages were still feeling the pressure.

The offensive needs to be even more intense to force them to send the witch to the shrine.

His will reached his followers.

The ninjas from the Land of Demons, who had been hiding behind the stone statues for days and had only made one move, launched an attack following the stone statues at their master's urging.
-
Having such great power, yet being confined to such a small place as the Land of Demons, Huang Quan believes this is a foolish and wrong act.

That's why he participated in unsealing the demons, and that's why he led people to follow behind the monsters.

Even if this monster becomes king, as someone who shares control of the world, one can gain far greater benefits than they do now.

He was certain of this when he gained the power.

When the neighboring countries of the Land of Demons succumbed to the giant soldiers, when Sunagakure was in retreat, and when Iwagakure could only block them but could not retaliate, he became even more convinced of this.

Even if Konoha ninjas appeared on the other side, the attack was thwarted, or even if some of his companions died, he did not believe that this would change the final outcome.

The power of the demons is inexhaustible, while humans will tire, become fearful, and eventually succumb to them in order to beg for a pitiful peace.

Even if one has this strength for ten or twenty days, what can a mere flesh and blood body do beyond that?

"The power of the ninja world is being constantly eroded by Lord Mouryou's immortal army. Now is the time for us to demonstrate our value and prove ourselves worthy of the title of ruler of the Millennium Kingdom."

Under his leadership, dozens of ninjas from the Land of Demons, mixed among the stone statues' troops, rushed toward the Sand Village's defenses.

Their eyes burned with a thirst for power, and their bodies surged with the power of demons.

Then, all of this was swallowed up by green.

The ninja who was charging forward one second was knocked away by the giant tree that burst out of the ground the next.

Even if you try to use the stone statue as cover, you will get entangled in the vines at your ankles and dragged into the ground, leaving only a brief muffled sound.

The earth-shattering barrier, which had been erected, shattered like paper under the impact of the thick tree trunk.

Huang Quan, who was skilled in medical ninjutsu, lived longer.

Hanging from the tree branch, his pupils reflected the figure that had caused everything.

He was walking through this hellish place, muttering to himself, "He's just ordering his subordinates to attack, but he himself hasn't done anything."

Blood flowed from Huang Quan's abdomen as he murmured, "We are..."

The sound went unnoticed by the newcomer, who simply walked past.

Behind him, the Konoha and Sunagakure allied ninja began an efficient cleanup operation. They quickly inspected the battlefield, dragging out any remaining Oni ninja who might be carrying intelligence, preparing for emergency treatment and subsequent interrogation.

A Sand Village ninja discovered Yomi hanging from a tree branch, still twitching slightly.

"There's still one survivor here!"

Subsequently, two intelligence squad members in special uniforms and a medical ninja quickly followed, carefully removing the critically injured and dying Huang Quan from the tree branch, preparing to quickly stop the bleeding and apply restraints, in order to extract the last bit of value from his brain.

Their actions did not stop there. After the attack by the demons, Shuji used himself as the vanguard and continued to advance towards the Land of Demons.

The ninjas then consolidated his gains from behind.

Faced with such losses, the Stone Statue Legion, which was originally locked in a tug-of-war with the Iwagakure forces, gradually ran out of manpower. Sensing an opportunity, they received news from Konoha and Sunagakure.

Huang Tu also led his troops to push back. Within a few days, the previously scattered battle lines were forcibly connected and integrated outside the border of the Demon Kingdom.
-
Obito simply watched all of this in silence.

Because the people of Konoha have clearly made thorough preparations to deal with his intervention.

Three pairs of Byakugan scanned the battlefield around Shuuji in turn, and Zetsu had already sensed Uchiha Shisui's chakra.

At this moment, I witnessed firsthand the foolish decisions made by the demon in his haste, which led to the complete loss of the last human forces under his command.

And, of course, myself, powerless to do anything about it, only able to watch quietly.

This is the noose that is constantly tightening.

As long as one is aware of one's own existence, as long as one is aware of the organization's existence, all actions cannot proceed.

The opportunity Orochimaru spoke of could only be obtained by transforming the organization.

The demons... have already accomplished most of their purpose.

It's time for this monster-driven farce to come to an end. It's time to retrieve this pawn.

Obito entered the shrine in the Land of Swamps.

The demon, clad in the body of a white monster, was leaning against the wall.

"What are you waiting for?"

"We await the resolution of the ninjas' last resort," the muffled voice replied. "That little witch... she's coming."

Obito said calmly, "Now that your toy army has been completely pushed back into the Land of Demons, and your carefully recruited subordinates have been almost entirely wiped out?"

The monster scoffed, "There are plenty of those kinds of things. As for manpower... this world will never lack fools who are obsessed with power and crave change!"

"The fact that they have set up their defenses in the Land of Demons means that the time to face the Legion will come sooner."

"How long can the ninjas stay here?"

"The priestess has arrived at the front lines! This means they're out of options! In the end, they'll have to obediently send her to the shrine, to me!"

“At that time, everything will be reversed,” the demon emphasized. “The young priestess cannot defeat me.”

"If we lose Maitreya, and then lose this only solution that can completely defeat the Undead Legion, the Allied Forces' current advantage is nothing but a temporary illusion!"

Obito stared at it: "Your judgment is completely unfounded."

"The Allied Forces don't need to completely seal you away, nor do they need to annihilate every single statue. They just need to keep shrinking your living space, find your current hiding place, and then... destroy this borrowed body of yours. That will be enough."

"Since you believe things will turn out this way, then hand over Maitreya to me!"

Obito kept getting closer: "We've come this far. You still have a use, so we can't waste your time here."

"you……!"

Countless twisted black chakra tentacles suddenly shot out from behind the demon, but they only futilely pierced through Obito's intangible body.

The vortex of divine power is activated.

"Let's call it a day for now," Obito said calmly. "In the future, I will give you another stage to perform on."
