Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 576 Sealing the Ten-Tails?

"The opportunity has arrived!"

Hidden in the shadows, Obito glanced at Toshiro's Susanoo and the many skilled fighters entangled with Nagato, and secretly rejoiced.

His gaze, in particular, fell upon Madara, who had just been sealed away by the First Hokage, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, Madara is a cunning and shrewd fellow; we still can't be too careless!"

After some internal deliberation, Obito became increasingly concerned about Nagato's situation.

"However, they'll definitely act very quickly. It's not just about seizing the Rinnegan, but also about the opportunity to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki. We can't afford to delay too long!"

His own elder brother's strength was far beyond his expectations.

He hadn't expected that Toshiro could actually contend with the Ten-Tails' true form.

However, he wasn't too worried.

As long as he successfully becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and the next Sage of Six Paths, he is confident that he can defeat Toshiro no matter how strong he is.

"Nagato, it's not too late to turn back now!"

With Gaara and several other Kage joining the fray, Jiraiya, Naruto, and the others found it increasingly easier to deal with Nagato.

However, seeing Nagato's increasingly embarrassed state, Jiraiya couldn't help but speak up and try to persuade him to change his mind through words.

"Jiraiya, enough with the nonsense!"

The Raikage was somewhat annoyed by Jiraiya's slow pace.

"Yugito was brutally murdered because of this guy, and I'll make him pay for it in blood!"

Yugito died a very tragic death, being used as a sacrifice to an evil god by members of the Akatsuki organization, and his death was extremely painful.

Although the two murderers were already dead.

However, this grudge was not avenged by the Cloud Ninja themselves. When they met the leader of the Akatsuki, it was only natural that they would hold Nagato responsible for it.

"The Raikage is right!"

Not only the Raikage, but the Tsuchikage also chimed in at this moment.

"It's not just Cloud Ninja; we Iwa Ninja, Suna Ninja, and Kirigakure Ninja all have significant grudges against the Akatsuki. We can't just let this kid get away with it!"

"The Tsuchikage is right. The Akatsuki launched the Fourth Shinobi World War, causing far more casualties than just hundreds or thousands."

Mei Terumi clearly disagreed with letting Nagato go so easily.

After taking over the Mist Village, she discovered that the village's finances were on the verge of collapse. She had to borrow a large sum of money from Konoha to get through the crisis.

Afterwards, it will naturally be necessary to investigate where the money went.

The investigation ultimately pointed to the Akatsuki organization, located far away in the Land of Rain. This, in turn, led to the Fourth Mizukage's bizarre actions.

This led her and other high-ranking members of the Kirigakure leadership to suspect that their village's Fourth Mizukage had been ambushed and secretly manipulated.

"This…"

Jiraiya was now at a loss for what to do.

His gaze swept over the figures.

The Raikage, Tsuchikage, Mizukage, and even the Kazekage had no intention of letting Nagato go, which caused him to stop his attack on Nagato.

"So, Jiraiya-sensei, faced with this cruel reality, do you still believe that a world where everyone understands each other will truly come to pass?"

With Jiraiya holding back, Nagato, who was surrounded and in a sorry state, was able to catch his breath a little.

He gave Jiraiya a mocking smile.

The upturned corners of his mouth seemed to say: Look, this is reality!

Faced with this extremely critical situation, after communicating with Jiraiya, Nagato no longer cared about Jiraiya's feelings and focused on dealing with the siege of many Kage-level ninjas.

With the Ten-Tails acting as a giant chakra power bank, and with Jiraiya holding back, he didn't need to worry about chakra consumption. Although he was at a disadvantage for a while, he was still struggling to hold on.

"Finally, it's starting!"

As time passed, a satisfied smile appeared on Nagato's face.

With this smile, the Ten-Tails, which was originally on all fours, began to undergo some significant changes and entered its next form.

After entering its second form, which is a humanoid form, the Ten-Tails' power increases significantly.

Especially his original tail, after transforming into ten arms, became even more adept at dealing with the attacks of numerous Kage-level powerhouses.

Until the arrival of another person.

"Oh, Tsuna!"

"Looks like you've been doing well these past few years!"

"I've found my place, so I can rest easy now."

As a seasoned veteran, the first generation could tell the changes in his granddaughter with just one look, which put his mind at ease and brought him great comfort.

This girl's life was quite miserable.

She lost her grandfather when she was young, and as she grew older, her relatives left her one by one.

He's still single at such an advanced age.

Now that he sees a resolution for her, even if he returns to the Pure Land and meets Mito, he will have something to say.

"Big brother, what about Madara's side?"

Before Tsunade could even speak to her grandfather, the Second Hokage appeared beside the First Hokage and began inquiring about Madara's condition.

"Don't worry!"

"I have sealed him away!"

To truly subdue Madara, one has to be Hashirama, the reincarnation of Ashura. Putting everything else aside, given the Uchiha clan's "controlling" nature, Madara would never be able to turn the tables in his lifetime.

"That puts my mind at ease!"

The second-generation leader showed no kindness whatsoever to this guy who was trying to steal his brother's position.

Hearing that the other party had been sealed, he couldn't help but want to make sarcastic remarks, but after looking at his elder brother's expression and then at the giant Susanoo in the distance, he ultimately decided not to continue his venomous tongue.

"Alright, now all we need to do is deal with this big guy!"

"Yes, with Toshiro keeping us in check, things will be much easier!"

As he spoke, the First Generation began to form hand seals.

Then, one after another, red wooden torii gates descended from the sky, landing on the ten-tailed fox's tail, neck, and other important joints, restricting its movements.

"Alright, for now, we've only taken care of that one..."

At this point, the First Hokage's gaze swept towards Nagato's direction.

However, the first generation was stunned when he saw the other person's hair color.

"Are they... a member of the Mito clan?"

The familiar hair color and the other person's chakra aura confirmed his connection to their bloodline.

He already knew a general idea of ​​the Uzumaki clan's tragic fate when he was summoned by Toshiro last time.

In truth, the other party's predicament was partly due to their own actions.

If I hadn't captured the tailed beasts myself and distributed them to various villages...

Those villages, in order to prevent the tailed beasts from breaking the seal, had the idea of ​​seizing the sealing technique, causing them to be displaced.

"Brother, now is not the time to be soft-hearted!"

Upon seeing the expression on his elder brother's face, the second-generation heir, who knew his brother's temperament well, was afraid that the other party would try to play the good guy again, so he immediately spoke up.

He was afraid that his older brother might soften his heart and do something outrageous again.
