Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 539 Ready to Go

The three figures hurriedly arrived at a battlefield of the Allied forces, and then split up to begin their actions.

"Alright, it's finally my turn to make my appearance!"

Naruto, who had just arrived in the Allied Shinobi Forces, looked at the ninjas around him who were suspicious of each other, and couldn't help but prepare to show off his skills.

"Watch me!"

A golden light flashed across his body as Naruto began to carefully sense the emotional fluctuations around him.

Whoosh!

After briefly closing his eyes to sense the surroundings, Naruto stood up and transformed into a golden streak of light, punching an Allied Shinobi.

"You... you actually managed to find us..."

The Allied Shinobi who was knocked down by Naruto's punch stared in disbelief at the golden Naruto before revealing his true form, turning into a green tree.

"Well done, Naruto!"

"This has been a huge help to us!"

The Konoha ninja, dressed in a green vest, was overjoyed after confirming that Naruto could indeed find the hidden enemies.

"Oh, Shikamaru, I'm relieved to see you still so energetic!"

Shikamaru was his childhood friend. He was very lazy when they were young, but things seemed to change later.

It seems that because of the family's decline in power, he had to study hard to become a good ninja.

In the past two years, the family situation has improved somewhat, and some stagnant growth has begun to emerge.

"Where...where..."

Shikamaru waved his hand and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

What do you mean by "full of enthusiasm"? If his father hadn't repeatedly told him to, he wouldn't have any enthusiasm at all. Wouldn't it be better to find a quiet place to lie down and enjoy the warm afternoon sun?

Anyway, if something goes wrong, someone higher up will take the blame.

Who would want to go to this godforsaken place, the Land of Rain, and fight a bunch of monsters? He certainly wouldn't.

"Haha, Choji's here too!"

"You've gained so much weight lately! If you keep this up, you'll turn into a fat pig!"

Seeing Choji's increasingly obese physique, Naruto even made a joke with a smile.

This kid used to be just a bit muscular, but recently his size has visibly increased by one size.

"It's all thanks to the Hokage!"

With a simple chuckle, Choji wasn't enraged by Naruto's use of the word "fat pig." Instead, he felt a little embarrassed about his uncontrollable physique.

When he was a child, his family suddenly became poor, which prevented him from becoming a chubby boy, so he naturally didn't have any aversion to words like "fat pig".

We should thank the Fifth Hokage. Since he came to power, the ninja world has become more peaceful, especially in recent years, when ninjas' incomes have increased significantly.

This is why his physique became increasingly out of control.

Clearly, he didn't realize that his family's sudden financial difficulties were caused by the Fifth Hokage.

"Alright, I have to go check out other places, so I won't keep you all company any longer!"

With a hearty laugh, Naruto nodded to the absent-minded Ino beside him and hurried off into the distance.

"Mom, this is too inefficient. Let's split up!"

"It would be best to add the Shadow Clone Technique as well!"

The coalition forces are quite large, and he had just separated from his mother, but their efficiency was still not ideal.

"Um!"

Kushina smiled and patted Naruto's head, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.

"Do it your way!"

Her son had already mastered magic, so she had nothing to worry about anymore.

"oh!"

Without hesitation, Naruto sat down cross-legged and began to sense the natural energy in the air. He planned to create multiple shadow clones at once to cover a wider area.

……

On the border of the Land of Rain, in a secluded canyon.

Surrounded by high mountains, it is difficult for birds to fly over.

"It'll be soon!"

In the center of the canyon, Nagato looked at the enormous Gedo Mazo before him, his tone tinged with barely concealed pleasure.

"After years of hard work, we're finally close to achieving our long-cherished dream!"

The enormous wooden golem crouched silently in the canyon. Otherwise, it would have been marred by nine open eyes on its forehead and a gaping maw.

Those who don't know might think that this hideous statue is a deity created by some cult organization at great expense.

Not only Nagato, but also the silent White Zetsu behind him, were experiencing the same turbulent emotions.

His eyes swept over the giant eye on the golem's forehead, and he felt a pang of regret.

"If the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails hadn't been incomplete with their chakra, the plan would probably have already been implemented."

Of the golem's nine enormous eyes, seven were wide open, their black pupils occasionally shifting as if observing their surroundings.

As for the other two eyes, one eyelid drooped down, half-open and half-closed, while the other was only open through a slit.

"How's the fighting at the front?"

With a pair of cold, purple eyes fixed on the white Zetsu behind him, Nagato asked a question.

"The golem will soon be able to accumulate enough power to prevent the enemy from disturbing it."

"The situation is not good right now; the clone's disguise technique is becoming less and less effective."

After nightfall, they deployed White Zetsu, disguised as ninjas, to hunt down lone Allied Shinobi ninjas or cause sabotage. Initially, it worked quite well, catching the Allied Shinobi Forces off guard.

The Allied Shinobi Forces have now come up with a countermeasure, but its effectiveness has been greatly reduced.

Especially Naruto and Kushina, the two Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, saw their effectiveness plummet after joining the battlefield.

"Is Kabuto's backup plan ready?"

"It's time for him to start making a move."

"Once the golem has accumulated more power, we won't be in such a passive position!"

It's about time Kabuto's reanimated army was deployed. If he could buy himself enough time, victory would surely be his.

After giving a brief instruction to White Zetsu, Nagato's gaze returned to the golem.

Or rather, it was inside the golem's gaping maw.

It seems to be absorbing and releasing energy from the outside world?

Through the Rinnegan's vision, one could see the golem's gaping maw rapidly devouring an almost invisible energy in the air.

Even with the Rinnegan, the vision wasn't clear. However, he still managed to discover this secret by observing the disturbances in the surrounding air, the subtle changes in the trees, the land, and the water, as well as the golem's ever-increasing chakra reserves.

Could the golem's power come from the surrounding air, land, trees, and water?

"Kabuto has finished his personal business and can summon the Edo Tensei army at any time."

He had already received news from his clone that Kabuto had captured Sasuke. Having finished his personal business, he naturally had to get to work.

"Hmm~"

Nagato gave a curt "I won," without even turning his head.

"Go and make the arrangements!"

"yes!"

He squinted and sized up Nagato, who was standing motionless.

"Could it be that we're hesitating now?"

But it doesn't matter, the die is cast now, and even if Nagato regrets it, they have ways to deal with it.
