Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History...

Not far from the Land of Fire, the Iwagakure army set up camp, a heavy atmosphere enveloping the camp.

Inside the main tent of Iwagakure, the Tsuchikage Onoki's voice rose a few decibels, filled with unbelievable shock.

"You mean, our Iwagakure's three hundred elite troops, plus the elite Jonin Hidden Dead Man, were inexplicably wiped out in just half an hour?"

Onoki's gaze was fixed on the reporter who came to report, his eyes wide open, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

Even if you spread out three hundred pigs, it would take half a day to catch them. If you put three hundred people in, they would all be dead in less than half an hour.

It's important to know that they spent half their time traveling after setting off, and the actual combat time was extremely short.

How could someone disappear in the blink of an eye?

"Yes……"

The reporter lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Onoki's stern eyes.

Upon receiving confirmation once again, even someone as shrewd as Onoki found his breathing becoming rapid.

"What on earth is Dong Siren up to?"

Three hundred elite ninjas were gone in an instant. Even for the powerful Iwagakure village, such a loss was an unbearable blow.

"Old man, are you alright?" Onoki's son, Koto, quickly stepped forward to help him up, his expression full of worry.

"I'm fine..."

Onoki took a deep breath, barely managing to compose himself, and waved for his subordinate to leave.

After the man left the tent, Onoki slowly walked to the table and sat down.

Before me was a huge sand table model, depicting the possible defensive layout of Konoha.

His gaze was fixed on the sand table, and he remained silent.

"Old man, should we send someone to investigate?" Huang Tu suggested.

Onoki slowly shook his head, his tone heavy:

"No need to investigate further. In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, only Minato Namikaze has the ability to completely wipe out Higashi no Shijin's team in a short period of time."

"Moreover, it must be Minato Namikaze who has already set up the Flying Thunder God mark on the battlefield beforehand."

"What puzzles me is..." Onoki's gaze fell on the miniature Konoha Village model on the sand table.

"The intelligence clearly indicated that Minato Namikaze should be busy preventing a sneak attack on Konoha by Kirigakure, so why did he suddenly appear on the border of the Land of Fire?"

At this time, it wasn't just Iwagakure that was hostile to Konoha; Kumogakure of the Land of Lightning and Kirigakure of the Land of Water had also joined the war.

Konoha had to disperse its forces to deal with the situation, and two battle lines had been opened up at the front line to fight against Iwagakure and Kumogakure at the same time, while also guarding against attacks from Kirigakure from the sea.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze must remain in Konoha as a precaution.

It was based on this consideration that Onoki decided to carry out this operation plan, convinced that Minato Namikaze would not leave the village easily.

However, the truth is...

Onoki's gaze shifted to the yellow earth.

How did they find out about our plans?

His plan itself was flawless; the problem lay in the leak of intelligence, which attracted the attention of Minato Namikaze.

Worse still, Minato Namikaze had clearly planned this all along, setting up a Flying Thunder God trap in advance, waiting for them to walk right into it.

If the other party cannot foresee the future, then there must be an internal problem.

Huang Tu suddenly realized: "You mean, there's a Konoha spy among us?"

Onoki's expression grew increasingly grave: "This operation is highly confidential, and very few people know about it."

"Go and investigate yourself."

Huang Tu nodded in agreement and left to carry out the order.

As Onoki's son, he was his father's most trusted person, and no one else could have done this job.

Meanwhile, in Iwagakure, they outwitted and outmaneuvered the air, while searching for a non-existent mole.

Obito had quietly approached the Kannabi Bridge.

This is a crucial rear area for Iwagakure, through which supplies for the front lines are transported.

However, no one noticed Obito's arrival.

"This is it."

Obito stood on high ground, carefully examining the terrain below by the moonlight.

That old fox, Ban, is hiding in a cave in this area, clinging to life by relying on the Outer Path Statue.

Obito never forgot that he still owed 300,000 gold coins in the group.

Although the First Hokage and Minato never pressed for payment, Obito was not one to renege on his debts.

Now, his target is Madara Uchiha, who was deceived by Black Zetsu throughout his life.

From the current timeline, he can change many things, especially the trajectory of Madara's fate.

Once you rewrite your destiny, the resulting gold coin rewards will be substantial.

"Hey old man, I'm here to loot your gold coins!"

Obito laughed excitedly, raised his arms high, made a diving motion, and jumped directly down from the tree.

Using his ability to become invisible, he vanished into the ground like a fish in water.

………………

The changes of day and night in the outside world have no meaning for the underground world.

It's always dark and damp here, with a chilling, eerie atmosphere.

Deep within the cave, a colossal monster lay silently, its lower body buried in the earth, while its upper body, which was the only part exposed, was also enormous.

This is the body of the Ten-Tails, the Gedo Mazo!

In the shadow of the demonic statue of the Outer Path, a figure sat upright on a cold, hard stone chair.

That was—Uchiha Madara!

Even the fearsome Asura of the ninja world cannot withstand the erosion of time.

Ban's hair was completely white, wrinkles covered his once handsome face, and his body was hunched, showing signs of old age.

In fact, his life force had long since been exhausted, and he was barely maintaining his life like a flickering candle in the wind by drawing life force from the few pipes connected to the Outer Path Statue.

Ban leaned back on the stone chair, his eyes closed, seemingly lost in sleep, but in reality he had been gone for a while.

Uh... just kidding.
