I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

Since he wanted to collect the Tailed Beasts, he naturally knew about the Jinchuriki.

Gaara's erratic and insane state, influenced by the dark power of the tailed beasts, is quite normal among the Jinchuriki.

After all, not every ninja village possesses a tailed beast sealing technique as powerful as Konoha's.

Not every Jinchūriki can be like his former teacher's wife, who was not only completely unaffected but also had an incredibly optimistic and enthusiastic personality.

"Let me free you from this predicament."

It seems Gaara was completely unprepared, and was simply struggling against himself.

Feeling that his journey was going to be incredibly smooth, Obito walked over and stretched out his right hand, about to absorb Gaara into the Kamui dimension.

Not only did a large amount of sand suddenly block his palm, but it also shot towards his body like bullets.

"This is......"

Ignoring the sand passing through him, Obito glanced at Gaara, who was still engrossed in his battle and completely oblivious to what was happening on his side. Then, looking at the massive amount of sand that had already enveloped most of Gaara's body and was relentlessly attacking him, a slight glint appeared in his eyes.

"Sand that has life? Does it automatically protect its owner?"

Obito quickly understood the principle behind it and started attacking again.

In an instant, a large number of giant shuriken shot out from his right Mangekyou Sharingan eye, and with the power of Kamui, they were extremely destructive as they attacked Gaara, who had raised a sand shield on his own.

Bang! Bang!

A deafening crash rang out.

Gaara's so-called absolute defense was effective against most ninjas, but it was quickly broken when facing a master like Obito.

Just as the enormous shuriken, still brimming with power, was about to slash towards Gaara's true form inside, numerous grains of sand, sensing the danger, rapidly gathered beneath Gaara's feet, carrying him away in time.

But in the next second.

boom! boom! boom!

Before Gaara could react, tree stumps suddenly grew out of the four walls and wrapped around it, immobilizing it no matter how hard the sand tried.

"it's over."

Obito, who had arrived in front of Gaara with a Body Flicker Technique, reached out again and successfully took Gaara into the Kamui Dimension.

But soon, he couldn't help but frown.

"Sand again?"

Sensing Gaara's body collapsing into sand within the Kamui dimension, Obito's expression changed slightly. He then looked up sharply and saw Gaara, sprawled on the ceiling, his body mostly corroded by the One-Tailed Beast's power, his limbs transformed into those of a beast, staring intently at him with a twisted grin on his face, roaring:

"I'll kill you!"

Boom!

Carrying a much larger amount of sand than before, the nearly crazed Gaara jumped down, wielding his enormous sand beast claws, and fiercely grabbed at Obito.

"As expected, we can't afford to take chances when trying to capture Jinchuriki."

As the fierce wind approached, Obito, his face unchanged, merely shook his head slightly, calmly watching Gaara, who had once again gone berserk, charge towards him. Finally, he said...

"We need to finish this quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, his ominous Mangekyou Sharingan was aimed at Gaara and suddenly moved!

Chapter 324 Obito's Divine Assistance

Boom!

With a violent explosion, the sand sea, like a lone cloud, shot straight into the sky, creating huge waves within Sunagakure Village.

The immense chakra belonging to the One-Tailed Beast erupted from within Gaara without reservation, and the commotion of Obito's battle with it could no longer be concealed.

At that moment, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and the other Sand Ninja, upon hearing the commotion, rushed to the scene with drastic changes in their expressions.

The villagers nearby, who were no strangers to the Tailed Beast rampage, scattered in fear and fled.

In an instant, the entire Sunagakure village was plunged into an atmosphere of even greater panic than the intrusion of Konoha.

However, these people soon discovered that the tailed beast's next rampage did not last as long as before.

The vast, despair-inducing sea of ​​sand, aside from its initial brief period of turmoil, eventually collapsed into a soft, yielding mass.

Upon seeing this, the fleeing villagers stopped in their tracks, overjoyed that it was Lord Kazekage who had intervened.

Rasa, whom everyone was talking about, was also puzzled and quickened his pace to rush towards Gaara.

Soon, when he arrived, he saw a dark figure emerging from the scene of the incident, which was shrouded in billowing yellow dust.

"You are... Uchiha Obito?"

When Rasa saw the familiar black trench coat with red clouds emerge from the yellow dust, and then noticed the half-ruined face and Mangekyou Sharingan of the coat's owner, he was quite surprised.

He never expected that Obito would appear here.

However, upon noticing Gaara lying unconscious on Obito's shoulder, Rasa suddenly remembered the rumors of Akatsuki capturing tailed beasts and his expression changed abruptly. He asked, "Uchiha Obito, why did you suddenly appear in Sunagakure?"

"Why? Naturally, it's to retrieve the One-Tailed Beast," Obito said directly, without hiding anything.

"Reclaim the One-Tailed Beast? Is this how you treat your allies? Have you forgotten that Akatsuki is now allied with the Shikoku? Doing this will only make Konoha laugh at you!" Rasa's eyes were full of coldness, but seeing Gaara on Obito's shoulder, whose life or death was unknown, he still hesitated to act rashly.

"The Four Kingdoms? There are no more Four Kingdoms now. As for alliances, just as you never considered Akatsuki a true ally, so did I. Besides, everything I'm doing now is to deal with Konoha, but I know you won't agree to it, so I'll just have to take it myself."

As Obito chuckled, he immediately unleashed Kamui, sucking the unconscious Gaara into the Kamui dimension.

For most Sand Ninja, the One-Tailed Beast is a nightmare.

But for a strong person like Obito, it's just a matter of how much energy he expends.

He even looked down on the Fourth Kazekage in front of him.

However, this is still Sunagakure, and Rasa still has many Sunagakure ninja around him.

In addition, the Konoha army is approaching.

To avoid a direct confrontation, Obito, with his shoulder empty, had no interest in continuing his entanglement with Rasa and quickly dove underground, intending to use the power of White Zetsu to leave.

"Don't even think about it!"

When Gaara was sucked into the Kamui dimension, Rasa was furious.

The One-Tailed Beast is even more important to the crippled Sand Ninja.

Besides, Gaara was ultimately his own son, so how could he just watch Obito leave like that?

Boom~~

Luo Sha clapped his hands, and instantly the entire underground surface churned like waves, with large amounts of gold dust surging out from all directions, carrying soil with them.

For the Kazekage, who possesses Magnet Release, the underground has never been a place to hide.

Left with no other choice, Obito returned to the surface and ran at an extremely fast speed towards the edge of the village.

"Stop him!"

He summoned the sand mat and flew swiftly through the air towards Rasa, whom Obito was pursuing, ordering the Sand Ninja Path that had already arrived.

At the same time, he also reminded everyone of Obito's Kamui characteristics.

Even after the alliance between Shikoku and Akatsuki, intelligence analysis on Madara and Obito continued.

As for Obito, through observing his battle with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina on the battlefield in the Land of Grass, the Iwa ninja had already gained a good understanding of his abilities, and later they also transmitted the information to the Sand ninja, the Mist ninja, and the Land of Iron.

However, knowing Obito's abilities is one thing, but being able to defend against them is another.

In real close combat, only a master of physical skills like Kai could probably remain unaffected by Kamui.

Even after a long and intense battle, Kai might slip up.

After all, the inherent difference between a game where one can fail countless times and one game where a single failure ends is simply too great.

really.

In the time that followed, although the Sand Ninja risked their lives to stop him, they not only failed to stop Obito in the slightest, but also lost many lives in vain.

Although Rasa also made a move, he dared not use ninjutsu with a wide range because he was in the village and could not harm innocent people. All he could do was keep chasing Obito.

Finally, after Obito escaped Sunagakure, the only one who hadn't been shaken off finally let loose and said:

"Magnetic Release·Golden Rain!"

Boom!

Amidst a thunderous roar, a torrential downpour, primarily composed of gold dust, poured down, covering a large area where Obito was located.

"This guy..."

Having already run several kilometers, constantly shrouded in a downpour of gold dust, Obito, forced to remain in a blurred state, turned back to look at the relentlessly pursuing Rasa and threatened:

"Fourth Kazekage, are you looking for death?"

If it were just Luo Sha, he wouldn't care much if they continued to pursue him like this.

What he was really worried about was that such a big commotion along the way might attract Konoha's pursuers, which would be a huge problem.

Obito knew very well that Senju Kumo-tei was currently in the Land of Wind.

Therefore, if Luo Sha continues to be stubborn, he will have no choice but to take action.

Clearly, Luo Sha was not going to compromise.

This was not only out of pride for the Kazekage, but also out of consideration for the future of the Sand Village, which was barely surviving.

With the One-Tailed Beast still around, the Sand Village has the resources to continue its fight.

Therefore, Gaara must be brought back.

"Hand over Gaara, and I'll let you go," Rasa declared, conveying his will.

"Is that so?" Obito sneered. "Then you might as well die!"

Obito, who was already prepared to act, suddenly flashed away, dodging the gaps in the sand rain while moving at high speed. His left eye was aimed at Rasa in the air, and his Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly spun.

Kamui!

With both eyes intact, Obito's Kamui release was much faster than before.

In an instant, a spatial vortex appeared where Luo Sha was, and with unstoppable force, it distorted and sucked everything around it into the center of the vortex.
