Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 463 We Must Save the Fourth Generation

Within the Divine Might Space.

"This time, he's really dead!"

Having just traveled from the real world, Obito breathed a sigh of relief.

He used over 100,000 explosive tags at once. Even if Toshiro really had the Eternal Eyes, he shouldn't have been able to withstand an explosion of that scale in such a short time.

"At this critical moment of life and death, to waste time sending away the summoning beast is really..."

He didn't even know what to say about his good older brother.

Did he know he was going to die, so he gave the hope of life to the summoning beast before he died?

"You seem a little smug!"

Just when Obito thought that the biggest obstacle to his plan had finally been eliminated and he could breathe a sigh of relief, a voice that he knew all too well rang out from behind him.

Bang!

Along with the sound, a huge fist slammed into his back from behind.

puff!

Before he could even be surprised at how the other party had appeared in his divine power space, that powerful punch sent him flying into the air.

At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You've really improved these past few years!"

Looking at Obito, who was lying on the ground about ten meters away in a dog-faced position, Toshiro began to berate him.

"They actually dared to use explosive tags against your older brother, and in such a large quantity at that."

Although it doesn't have the exaggerated amount of 600 billion like the young rich woman, the power of 100,000 explosive tags exploding at once would be too much for even him to withstand for a while.

"Ahem!"

With difficulty, Obito coughed twice more, spitting out the blood clots in his chest, and then looked at Toshiro opposite him.

With disbelief in his eyes, he asked.

"Why...are you here?"

This is clearly my own divine space, how could the other party appear in it?

Last time, the opponent's clone was able to enter by using my ability to open the Divine Might Space. That was only possible because the opponent's Yin Release clone was quite amazing.

But this time, I was very careful and didn't bring anything with me. How could the other party appear?

Why did this happen...?

"Of course, I used my eye technique to get in!"

He had nothing to hide about this, since Obito could basically guess it after reviewing the events.

"You don't actually think that just because you have this alternate dimension, combined with your special eye technique, you can rest easy, do you?"

He hesitated for a moment. Should he take this opportunity to kill this bastard, Obito, this great traitor?

Although this guy's devotion to Lin, to the point of destroying the entire world, made him somewhat reluctant to do it.

But there's always this one guy plotting to kill me from behind the scenes, and that's not going to be good either.

……

outside world.

The explosion had just subsided when the Third Hokage arrived at the scene, only to find a huge crater, with no sign of Toshiro.

"Where is the Fifth Generation Headmaster this morning?"

Instead of seeing Toshiro immediately, he focused his attention on Hayato Shirakumo, who had arrived at the scene before him.

"The Fifth Generation...he...he..."

Looking at the huge pit, nearly thirty meters in diameter and more than ten meters deep, Baiyun Zaojian couldn't control his emotions for a moment and turned his gaze to the Fourth Mizukage who was already on the verge of death beside him.

Yagura was also unlucky. He had just regained control of his body and before he could even react to what was happening, a powerful aftershock swept him in.

Although he wasn't in the most volatile position, he was too close, and he didn't have the abilities of Toshiro or Obito.

If it weren't for the Three-Tails' size and its strength in defense, the aftershocks of the explosion would probably have killed him.

Although he was not seriously injured at this point, he had already lost consciousness.

"You mean... the Fifth Hokage... sacrificed himself?"

Seeing the hatred in Baiyun Zaojian's eyes, the Third Hokage's expression suddenly became somewhat strange, and a strange light flickered in his eyes.

"Could it be... that Toshiro is really dead?"

Looking around, apart from the traces left by the recent explosion, there was no sign of Toshiro.

He looked at the huge pit in front of him and then used the Heavenly Canopy Formation to sense the surrounding situation.

It seems... he's really dead?

There was no trace of Toshiro around, and under the Heavenly Canopy Formation, the opponent had no way to evade his detection.

Recalling the terrifying power of the explosion, the Third Hokage's old eyes, which had become somewhat cloudy, suddenly flashed with an unprecedented sharpness.

"In the morning, control the Fourth Mizukage on the other side!"

A barely concealed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as the Third Hokage began to direct the Konoha ninja present, instructing them to control Yagura on the opposite side.

Now that Toshiro is dead, once he returns to Konoha, he can "set things right," so he has no time to worry about managing his facial expressions.

The surprise came too suddenly, but as an experienced old Hokage, he immediately grasped the key point of the matter.

Regardless of how to deal with those 'clowns' who have recently jumped out of nowhere after returning to Konoha, the most important thing now is to keep the Fourth Mizukage under my control.

This is the only way to end the war with the Mist Ninja as quickly as possible.

"…yes!"

After a slight hesitation, Baiyun did not refuse the Third Hokage's suggestion. He walked a few steps to Yagura, preparing to take control of the Fourth Mizukage who was barely clinging to life.

"Be careful, don't let him die!"

The Third Hokage frowned as he glanced at Yagura's current state and gave her a word of advice in the morning.

Yagura looked rather pitiful. He had just used the power of the Three-Tails to withstand the explosion and was barely breathing after recovering his original form.

This person is key to ending this war; if he dies at the hands of Konoha, things will become very troublesome.

"Quickly, save the Fourth Hokage!"

Just as Baiyun was preparing to take Yagura away that morning, a roar came from above.

Immediately, seven or eight Mist Ninja charged towards them recklessly.

When Obito was controlling the Mist Village, he cleverly exploited the internal conflicts within the village.

Although many bloodline clans hated him to the core, many commoner ninjas also rose to prominence because of him and became his staunch supporters.

When the people from Konoha saw that they were about to leave with Yagura, their faces turned deathly pale.

If something were to happen to the Fourth Hokage, his henchmen would face dire consequences upon returning to the village. At this moment, they all rushed towards this side as if their lives depended on it.

"Kill! Kill all these Konoha ninja and rescue the Fourth Hokage!"

Since it was a battlefield, the Mist Ninja did not hesitate at all upon meeting them and charged towards Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hayato Hakukumo.

"Damn it, have all these Mist Ninja gone mad?"

In the morning, things were alright; the Mist Ninja on the other side were relatively restrained when Yagura was by his side. However, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't receive the same treatment.

One by one, the Kirigakure ninjas, desperate to rescue the Fourth Hokage, launched an attack on the Third Hokage as if their lives depended on it, leaving him somewhat flustered.

The good news is that with the arrival of these Mist Ninja, many skilled fighters from Konoha also arrived and blocked Yagura's confidants.

"Leave Yagura to me this morning; buy me time to break through!"

Catching his breath, the Third Hokage approached the unconscious Yagura, grabbed him by the neck, and led the way toward the outer edge of the battlefield.

However, things often turn out in ways that are unexpected.

"Damn it, are you trying to kill your Fourth Mizukage?"

Having narrowly dodged a bone knife aimed at him, the Third Hokage hadn't even had time to catch his breath before a new attacker emerged from the water beneath him.

He slashed at the Third Hokage, or rather, at Yagura in the Third Hokage's hands.

"What...what exactly do you want?"

He pulled his arm behind him to dodge the slash, and the Third Hokage looked at the Mist Ninja surrounding him, his old face turning extremely gloomy.

Hozuki, Kaguya, Terumi… these Kirigakure ninjas surrounding him are all descendants of famous bloodline clans, and the pillars of Kirigakure.

But these bastards don't seem to care about the Fourth Mizukage in their hands at all.

Of the attacks directed at him, seven or eight out of ten were aimed at Yagura in his hand.

"We 'rescued' the Fourth Hokage, and even if he's just a corpse, he still belongs to Kirigakure."

"If we delay any longer, those guys will be here!"

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, the Mist Ninja did not stop. Instead, they exchanged glances, reached a consensus, and then charged forward with their weapons.

"Rescue the Fourth Hokage! We absolutely cannot let him fall into Konoha's hands!"

This was a face-saving measure; before taking action, they even found an excuse to save the Fourth Hokage's response.

"Kill! The Mizukage has been killed by the people of Konoha! Avenge the Mizukage!"

These were the Kirigakure ninja who, fearing things weren't chaotic enough, preemptively pinned Yagura's death on the Third Hokage.

These people shouted that they were rescuing the Mizukage and avenging him, but when they started fighting, they showed no mercy. Kunai, ninja swords, and ninjutsu were all used to attack Yagura in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands.

"These guys..."

Unable to resist twitching his lips, the Third Hokage, being such a seasoned veteran, understood perfectly well that these Mist Ninja on the other side wanted to take this opportunity to kill his Mizukage.

Then they shifted the blame onto him and Konoha.

"This old man...this old man..."

He unleashed a barrage of shuriken, forming a hand seal that caused the number of shuriken to surge, slightly hindering the attacks of the Mist Ninja.

The Third Hokage looked at the Mist Ninja before him and said through gritted teeth:

"I will absolutely not let you succeed!"

In any case, the Fourth Mizukage cannot die by his own hand, otherwise things will really get complicated.

At that time, there will never be peace between Konoha and Kirigakure.
