It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

"I can't hold on much longer!"

"Roar!"

Nine-Tails finally broke free from its predicament and leaped out of the mud.

Seeing that Kurama had escaped, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Obito's position with a surprised expression.

"How come this guy has so many bizarre methods?"

Obito glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose figure twisted and disappeared from the spot.

After Obito disappeared, a sense of crisis made the battle-hardened Hiruzen Sarutobi's hair stand on end, and he stretched out both hands to grasp the long sword that was slashing down from behind.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood his golden cudgel upright in place, then somersaulted away. Obito looked at the explosive tags left behind without any panic or even flinching.

boom!

The golden cudgel flew from afar into his hand, and the masked man emerged unharmed from the smoke and dust, stepping on the remaining flames on the ground. When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw this familiar scene, he quickly looked behind him, but did not find the masked man suddenly appearing as before.

Why does this masked person seem a bit different from the one we fought at the beginning...?

……

Fire Release: Flame Bullet!

Jiraiya's giant fireball and the Great Fireball canceled each other out in mid-air.

Shiyuki used her long sword to cut through the flames and slashed at Jiraiya.

state!

The collision of the blade and hair produced a sound similar to the clash of metal, and a small piece of the blade shattered and carved deeply into the tree.

puff~

Zhi Xue took a few steps back, threw the smoke bomb on the ground, and took off her gloves in a corner. Looking at the small holes on her hands caused by her hair, she gasped.

"What a hedgehog! It even broke the knife." Zhi Xue treated the wound with a bandage, but before she could cast her transformation spell again, a dumpling fell from the sky.

"Rasengan!"

Zhixue took out her Flying Thunder God Kunai to prepare for a counterattack, but Jiraiya's dumpling did not land on her. Instead, Jiraiya's figure gradually transformed into a slippery toad oil that splashed all over her body, like a water clone.

"What is this thing?" Zhi Xue used her transformation jutsu to revert to Obito's appearance, sniffed her own body, and almost vomited. This thing smelled like a mixture of resin and diesel fuel; it was truly unbearable.

"Hahaha... This is pure toad oil extracted from the sacred land of Mount Myōboku. Once you're touched by it, don't even think about escaping my senses. Surrender!"

Jiraiya's voice rang out from all directions, but Shiki's next action made Jiraiya unable to laugh.

A burst of white light shone around Zhixue, and the natural energy within the toad oil was attracted by the light, coalescing into a small ball that dissipated into the air. Without its natural energy, the toad oil completely lost its efficacy. Jiraiya was utterly baffled by this; it was simply too strange.

Zhi Xue activated her crimson Sharingan and scanned her surroundings. After spotting Jiraiya's chakra fluctuations, she made a gun gesture with her hand and fired at Jiraiya's location.

A water cannon shot through a large tree, shaving off a few strands of white hair that fell to the ground.

Jiraiya dodged Shisue's water-style attacks as he ran among the trees, the image of the Hozuki clan appearing in his mind.

The Water Gun ninjutsu should only be used by the Hozuki clan of the Land of Water, right? But the enemy has Sharingan and is clearly not from the Land of Water. This guy's abilities are strange, and his identity is also very odd.

Seeing Jiraiya still dodging and approaching in the forest, looking for an opportunity, Shiyuki stopped attacking, took a deep breath, and attracted the surrounding natural energy towards herself.

Jiraiya is too difficult to deal with. She can't delay any longer; the plan must proceed quickly!

Having practiced the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya was also very sensitive to natural energy, and he was greatly surprised when he noticed Shisui's movements.

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, the Water Gun of the Hozuki clan, the Rasengan learned from who-knows-where, and a Sage Mode he had never seen before—today was truly an eye-opener. So many strange and unrelated things had come together, plus the Nine-Tails. It was no wonder that Konoha couldn't defeat them.

Knowing the power of Sage Mode, Jiraiya bit his finger and slapped it down, causing intricate summoning runes to appear on the branches beneath his feet.

"Spiritual communication!"

Chapter 85, The Recorder

"Bunta!"

Jiraiya bit his finger and slapped it on a tree branch. A puff of white smoke appeared beneath his feet, accompanied by a tremor in the ground.

Gamabunta, who had just been summoned, was also startled by the wildly surging natural energy around him. "What's going on?"

"Never mind that for now, Gamabunta, I need your help." Jiraiya formed the "Tiger" hand seal, and dense chakra gathered in his chest.

Gamabunta noticed Jiraiya's action and threw his huge pipe to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dirt.

"Could this nasty smell be from a snake pit?" Gamabunta frowned as he sensed the chakra aura emanating from the air.

"Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!" Jiraiya unleashed a burst of flames from above, which combined with the large amount of toad oil spewed out by Gamabunta, creating a sea of ​​fire that scorched the forest in front of them. Even the solid rocks gradually melted under the intense heat.

Flames engulfed the mountains and forests within a radius of several kilometers, and the towering flames were clearly visible even from the shelters in Konoha Village.

"Nii-san, it looks like a really intense fight over there. Can Konoha win?" Sasuke asked, standing on tiptoe by the window of the shelter, watching the red lights flashing in the sky.

"Don't worry, Sasuke... trust Konoha and the Hokage." Itachi gently rubbed Sasuke's head, revealing a tender smile, but deep down he couldn't help but worry.

"Shisui, I hope you're safe and sound even at the center of this whirlpool..."

Kakashi was also guarding the top of the Konoha shelter, looking at the distant firelight, his eyes once again recalling the disaster from many years ago.

Although he was a Jonin at the time, his power was so small that he was like an ant in front of the Nine-Tails. He was forcibly taken to the shelter by the Anbu. When he came out after the disaster, the death of his master and mistress plunged him into darkness and loneliness once again.

"I hope no one will be sacrificed this time..." Kakashi looked up at the sky, as if he could see a complete Team 7 watching him gently.

"Teacher, Rin, Obito..." Kakashi wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes. What's the point of leaving me alone in this world?

……

"Alright, it's time to end this, old man." Obito looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was panting heavily with little chakra left, and raised his sword to strike, but a sudden sense of danger behind him made Obito pause.

The figure in front of him turned into a pile of crow feathers and fell to the ground, while he was also pierced by three fire dragons.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shisui Uchiha surrounded Obito from both sides.

"Was that a genjutsu?" Obito glanced back at the shuriken pattern in Shisui's eyes. The powerful ocular aura posed a real threat to him, making him quite wary. He knew his genjutsu skills weren't bad either; otherwise, the Land of Water wouldn't have been under his long-term control. The fact that Shisui could subdue him so silently demonstrated the terrifying power of his abilities, not to mention something as overpowered as Kotoamatsukami.

"Another one has arrived. Hmph, how lively! But it's not time yet. The show isn't over. I'll just be a quiet spectator." Obito glanced at Shisui warily, then his figure disappeared from the spot along with the vortex.

"That person... doesn't seem to be Zhixue, but who could he be?" Zhishui arrived at the place where the masked man disappeared, and thought to himself with some surprise.

"Shisui, you've come at the right time. If you're here, Konoha's chances of winning will probably be even greater." Hiruzen Sarutobi said, seemingly quite pleased with Shisui's appearance.

As one of Konoha's few remaining high-level combatants, Uchiha Shisui might be the one who could change the course of the battle.

As long as Jiraiya holds his ground and holds off the masked man, they can then work together with the Konoha ninjas and the Uchiha clan to seal the Nine-Tails, which will be their advantageous turn!

While Hiruzen Sarutobi was still telling Jiraiya to hold out a little longer, a giant orange toad shadow, billowing black smoke, fell from a distance, crashing into the ground and creating a large crater.

Cracks appeared on the ground, and a beam of light, almost as large as a mountain, rose from the ground, its surging energy washing away debris like a shockwave.

Even many of the Konoha ninjas who were fighting the Nine-Tails were blown away.

With his Sharingan activated, Uchiha Shisui looked at the faintly visible silhouette in the center of the exploding sea of ​​fire, feeling somewhat incredulous.

He knew Zhi Xue was very strong, otherwise she wouldn't have carried out this plan, but he didn't expect her to be this ridiculously strong.

Amidst the inferno caused by the explosion, Jiraiya staggered out, his body bearing numerous dried burn marks, seemingly barely holding on.

Hiruzen Sarutobi rushed over in surprise, helped Jiraiya up, and pulled him out of the sea of ​​fire.

The enemy is so powerful. You have to know that Jiraiya's strength is now very close to his. Even if the Kage of other countries were to fight him one-on-one, they might not be able to gain any advantage.

At this moment, Shiki, who was still in the center of the flames, was also in a bad state. Blood was still flowing from the corners of her mouth and eye sockets under her mask, and her whole body was in pain as if it were being torn apart. Of course, this was not caused by Jiraiya, but rather a manifestation of her body not matching her strength.

Zhi Xue usually trains in a virtual training ground, so her body is still delicate and doesn't get much exercise. Moreover, she doesn't have the bloodline of the Uzumaki or Senju clans. Now, after fully activating Sage Mode and the recording mode of her Mangekyou Sharingan right eye, her body seems to have fallen into an extremely unbalanced and overloaded state.

Every ache in her body reminded Zhixue of one thing: Child, if you don't restrain yourself, you'll ruin your body.

Zhi Xue felt pain all over her body, closed her eyes, and turned off the amplification of her right eye. This thing was too dangerous; not only was her chakra insufficient, but her body also strongly opposed its use.

Right Eye Eye Technique - Recorder: Passive - Can record the strongest data of the eye technique user at all times. Active - Consumes eye power and chakra based on the data difference. After activation, it will forcibly obtain historical limit data such as strength, speed, hand seal speed, body recovery speed, and desire cooldown period (excluding vitality, chakra amount, and eye power). However, if the difference in body data is too large, it may also lead to collapse and sudden death.

Zhi Xue glanced at the still wary Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shisui who had already appeared, and nodded.

It's about time.

Although she was in very bad shape, she remembered that Kurama's chakra had a very strong self-healing ability, so she decided to hold on and finish the plan.

Zhi Xue formed hand seals and instantly disappeared from the spot. The Nine-Tails, which was still entangled with Gamaken and many Konoha ninjas, seemed to have realized Zhi Xue's thoughts, broke free from its restraints, and joined Zhi Xue.

Following the tail, Zhixue jumped onto the Nine-Tails' body. Strands of deep red chakra emanated from the Nine-Tails' body and gathered around Zhixue, forming a light-colored tailed beast cloak.

Seeing the pain gradually subsiding and the wounds on her hands visibly healing, Zhixue clenched her fists.

"Not bad... I guess it's no wonder it's the strongest tailed beast?"

Chapter 86, Danzo's Death Date

Zhi Xue stood atop the Nine-Tails' head with her arms crossed, looking down at the numerous ninjas on the ground. The breeze from high above made her robes rustle, and the immense Nine-Tails chakra poured into her delicate body.

Looking at the tense Konoha ninja below, Shiyuki conjured a black spiral wheel in her hand, which was surrounded by the Nine-Tails' tail and gathered together with chakra, accompanied by a faint crimson halo.

"It's time to end this." Zhi Xue poured Sage Chakra into the Spiral Wheel and gently tossed it down, whereupon a dazzling light rose from the earth.

The raging chakra swirled and rampaged across the battlefield, the white dazzling light like a holy messenger leading people to heaven, purifying every ninja it touched into pure ashes.

Fear and shock filled the air. Even the Jonin, revered by everyone in the village, seemed powerless against this move that claimed the equality of all beings. He could only watch helplessly as his signature defensive ninjutsu was destroyed in an instant.

"Don't panic, everyone! Move closer to me!" Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique to pull many ninjas, who were too frightened to move freely, into Susanoo.

As the white light appeared, Danzo, who was observing from several kilometers away, sensed the approaching danger.

A cold glint shot towards his neck.

Pfft!

Zhi Xue stabbed a fully armed Root member who was blocking Danzo's way. The hard iron armor on his shoulders and the Earth Release: Hardening Technique he used prevented Zhi Xue's trident kunai from penetrating even a little bit.

Zhi Xue gripped the katana that was slashing at her side, changed her hand gesture, and aimed at the helmet at the base of the iron armor. A water cannon shot, like a bullet leaving its shell, pierced through the thick iron armor, and the force sent the helmet flying off its base.

Meanwhile, Danzo unleashed his Wind Blade, slashing out with a sharp sword aura.

A black flash appeared, and Zhixue appeared above Danzo, pressing the Rasengan onto Danzo's head. Like a watermelon crushed by a wheel, the red and white parts were twisted into countless blood-stained fragments by the powerful rotation.

But just two seconds later, the corpses left on the ground had disappeared, and a white phantom appeared in front of Zhixue.

Danzo attempted to use a surprise attack to quickly and accurately pry Shisui's eyes out of his mask, but this attack was different from the one he had used on Shisui last time.
