Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

After taking a deep breath, Shikaku raised his head and looked at the five Kage: "Without their power, we are just stalling for time. At the very least, Raikage should know very well that without the cooperation of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Sasuke cannot defeat the First Hokage's Edo Tensei."

"By hiding the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, all we can achieve is a slow death. And in the end, we will have no chance of winning."

These words made the five shadows' expressions serious.

Even Gaara, who was present, had served as Kazekage for several years. With the accumulated wisdom of the higher-ups, he knew that what the Konoha strategist in front of him said was correct.

"boom!"

The door opened, and Mabuyi rushed in, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

And everyone present was a powerful individual.

"What's wrong, Mabui?"

The Fourth Raikage frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Mabui spoke up: "The medical team's Haruno Sakura reported that the monster on the other side, which is all white and called White Zetsu, has the ability to absorb chakra and transform into the other party."

"It's very difficult to detect. If you're not a close companion, you simply can't tell the difference between the real and fake."

But in fact, this is not the biggest problem.

The biggest problem is panic!

The inability to distinguish between real and fake enemies makes everyone feel that their companions might be enemies, and keeps everyone on edge, unable to rest.

The enemy's white armor never gets tired, and those resurrected through Edo Tensei don't need rest either, but our side is completely exhausted.

"Unable to distinguish..."

Shikaku placed his hands on the round table: "Can you see through the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan and the insects of the Aburame clan?"

Mabui shook her head slightly: "After Sakura Haruno captured her, the branch family of the Hyuga clan was there, so it was useless. And the sensory ninjas also failed to detect her."

"After absorbing chakra, ordinary sensory abilities can no longer distinguish between the real and the fake."

Shikaku nodded silently, closed his eyes, and began to think.

The war had been a constant pressure on him from the very beginning, and he was working himself to the bone, his mind almost overwhelmed.

The ability to merely disguise oneself may ultimately become the key to victory.

"Om..."

Shikaku looked up: "Keep everyone at a certain distance. If anyone gets close, they are the enemy."

This is the simplest method, but also the most helpless one.

But why is this guy in such a hurry?

The opponent unleashed a large number of Edo Tensei at the outset, and combined with the number of White Zetsu, their combat power surpassed that of the Allied Shinobi Forces by any measure.

So……

……

After a night, everyone in the Allied Shinobi Forces was mentally exhausted.

Panic began to spread gradually.

A new round of war continues to break out.

However, this time, the advantages and preparations that both sides gained the day before were reversed.

The Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages, through their personal accounts, revealed their weaknesses one by one, and an emergency countermeasure was devised during the night.

The Second Mizukage, the Second Tsuchikage, and the Third and Fourth Kazekage were all sealed away.

Another characteristic of Edo Tensei was confirmed by Shikaku: if the deceased who is resurrected through Edo Tensei finds redemption in their heart and fulfills their obsession, then they can turn to ashes and release from Edo Tensei.

But even this information did not bring Shikaku any joy.

The Chunin faction had the largest number of members, but due to last night's crisis of trust, they were exhausted and suffered heavy casualties today.

In addition, there is the Fourth Hokage...

If this Golden Flash hadn't controlled himself with the half-Nine-Tails within him, the number of dead would probably have doubled by now.

……

The third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day.

The Allied Shinobi Forces have suffered nearly half their casualties.

This achievement also means that Kinkaku, Ginkaku, and others have been sealed away. Fewer and fewer people are being resurrected using Edo Tensei, yet the First Hokage still hasn't appeared.

For five days, everyone in the Allied Ninja Force kept to themselves and never truly relaxed.

This led to everyone becoming listless and being killed one by one.

At this moment, Shikaku still had his own questions in his mind.

why?

Why is the other party so impatient, yet not showing up to force everyone to ask about Naruto and Killer Bee's whereabouts?

The enemy's target is the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails. Once they succeed, the Allied Shinobi Forces of the Five Great Shinobi Villages will be meaningless.

But why did the enemy only harass with White Zetsu instead of launching a real all-out attack?

Ok?

Encircle and ambush reinforcements?!

……

Chapter 434: You Shouldn't Have Died So Easily

With 100,000 White Zetsu as soldiers and countless dead who have returned to the Pure Land as generals.

With such a lineup, even the combined forces of the five great ninja villages would find it extremely difficult to contend with them.

As the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade's abilities are most evident in logistical and medical support. After the Yin Seal on her forehead is released, the Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest, summoned with a large amount of chakra, can ensure the survival of most of the high-end combat forces.

The Five Kage, along with elite Jonin such as Kakashi and Guy, can pose a threat to the enemy once they recover, provided they don't die.

The ability to seal away a large number of reanimated enemies over these days is all due to their combat strength.

And now, Shikaku understands what the other person is thinking.

The enemy's objective was to surround and attack the reinforcements; their target was the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but they did not threaten anyone to reveal their whereabouts.

At the same time, Hashirama Senju did not appear, despite the opponent's Edo Tensei technique's greatest power.

Furthermore... after the Fourth Hokage suppressed his attack by using half of the Nine-Tails inside his body, both the Fourth Hokage's Impure World Reincarnation and the Second Hokage's were actively dispelled by the opponent.

The fact that they didn't decisively defeat the Allied Shinobi Forces meant that the enemy was trying to force Killer Bee and Naruto to appear.

And that is indeed the case. If the Allied Shinobi Forces had lost, Killer Bee and Naruto would have been the only ones left, and they didn't have the kind of unlimited chakra that the Edo Tensei bodies possessed.

The remaining tens of thousands of enemies were enough to exhaust them to death.

Shikaku closed his eyes and frowned deeply.

Impure World Reincarnation...

This technique, which was first created by the Second Hokage, played a terrifying role in Orochimaru's subsequent development of it.

Since the battle in Konoha, the Impure World Reincarnation technique recorded in the Scroll of Seals has been tested, but the results... can only be described as worlds apart from what Orochimaru is using now.

It was useless against that kind of power.

Without stopping Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation, all plans will be useless in the face of overwhelming power.

Shikaku is only now realizing... realizing why the five great ninja villages were able to maintain peace in the early years of the ninja village system.

Because at that time, no one could withstand the wrath of the God of Ninjas.

"report!"

"Naruto Uzumaki requests access!"

……

After finishing his call with Naruto, Shikaku breathed a sigh of relief.

The problem of White Zetsu being able to replicate chakra and infiltrate was solved, and after Naruto became the perfect Jinchuriki, he gained the Nine-Tails' ability to sense malice.

This is important; the constant vigilance is exhausting everyone, but it also allows the crucial medical and logistical support units to operate more freely.

But there's more...

And there's the final battle...

……

In the dark cave.

Obito Uchiha emerged from the alternate dimension, looked at Orochimaru who was still fiddling with pebbles, and said, "I need the Nine-Tails' chakra from the Fourth Hokage!"

Orochimaru raised his head, looked at the other person, and licked his lips: "I thought you weren't coming, so I was already prepared."

As soon as he finished speaking, a coffin was brought out by a spirit.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, without regaining his senses, handed him over to Obito, instructing him to follow.

But this action made Obito, who was wearing a mask, frown.

It went very smoothly, more smoothly than expected.

But at the same time... it made Obito increasingly uneasy.

"You... are also a pawn..."

Orochimaru dropped the pebble in his hand, then looked up at Obito: "I'm different from you. I can see my uniqueness in that person's eyes. Or rather... that person seems to need my brain as well."

"We're all pawns, but my value as a pawn seems to far surpass yours. That person needs me, yet doesn't care about your ultimate goal... In this situation, it's clear that the so-called Ten-Tails Jinchuriki or anything else is nothing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito clenched his fists.

Is it nothing?

Has that bastard surpassed the level of an immortal?

Even so, I will not give up!
