Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

Suddenly, a huge blue fireball struck the Green Serpent's head, blasting the Rinnegan in its left eye socket into a bloody mess.

"They still won't budge? What's going on with this summoning beast? It actually has the Rinnegan."

On Turtle Island, Yukimaru, who had already entered the tailed beast form, was surprised to see that the blue snake still wouldn't let go of the giant turtle's neck.

Konohamaru, having become a perfect Jinchuriki, once again entered Tailed Beast Transformation. He transformed into a smaller version of Matatabi, and the giant blue fireball he had just released was his doing. Because he was worried about harming the giant turtle, he only used a small portion of his power.

He thought this would make the mysterious green snake relent, but he didn't expect it to fail.

"It seems I need to be more violent. No matter what kind of summon you are, you'll die with this one hit."

Yuzuki Maru said coldly.

The next moment, he opened his mouth, and a black, concentrated chakra ball appeared rapidly.

It is the Tailed Beast Ball.

Yukimaru was about to use a Tailed Beast Ball to destroy the section of the giant turtle's body that the green snake was coiling around, but just as he was about to launch it, a cold voice suddenly appeared: "You actually became a perfect Jinchuriki, you've got some skill."

Upon hearing this voice, Yukimaru shot the Tailed Beast Ball in front of his mouth into the sky without thinking. Then, with a twitch of his limbs, he disappeared from the spot as a series of afterimages.

The next moment, a terrifying gravitational pressure was felt in this place.

The gravity covered an area of ​​nearly several hundred meters. Although Yuki Maru's speed was frighteningly fast, he was still unable to avoid such a large area of ​​gravity suppression in an instant. He was immediately pressed heavily to the ground and was unable to move.

"It's so heavy. Could this be the Iwagakure's Heavy Rock Technique?"

Yuzuki Maru was suppressed by gravity and found that he could not break free, and exclaimed in horror.

At that moment, he thought of many things, believing that it was Onoki from Iwagakure who had attacked him, and that Iwagakure wanted to capture him to replace him after losing his Jinchūriki.

But isn't Iwagakure currently engaged in a major battle with Sunagakure?

Why would Onoki have the leisure to arrest him?

For a moment, his mind was filled with doubt.

Soon, his doubts were resolved, and a middle-aged ninja with both the Rinnegan and the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared before his eyes.

"The Third Kazekage! Impossible, weren't you already dead?"

Yuzuki Maru looked at the person and said in disbelief.

Although he had never seen the Third Kazekage in person, he had seen him in some photos, so he was absolutely certain that he had not mistaken him for someone else. The middle-aged ninja with the Rinnegan and Mangekyou Sharingan in front of him was indeed the Third Kazekage.

When Madara Uchiha saw that Yukimaru recognized him as Pain, he simply smiled, then waved his right hand forward. The Sand Iron Wings on his back immediately disintegrated and rushed towards Yukimaru, enveloping him completely and transforming him into a small Sand Iron Pyramid.

Then, numerous sealing techniques emerged on the surface of the pyramid, determined to seal Yuzuki Maru.

But the next second, a blue pillar of fire shot out from the pyramid, blasting it apart.

The pillar of fire rose into the air, and then a huge blue flame beast appeared before Madara Uchiha.

Chapter 352: The End of the Hidden Mist

"Oh~, it can actually break free from my gravity and the iron sand bindings. Is this the power of a perfect Jinchūriki? It is indeed quite capable."

Madara Uchiha looked at the roaring blue flame behemoth in the sky and said expressionlessly.

At this moment, Yukimaru had entered a state of complete tailed beast transformation. This was the first time he had entered this state, and he felt that he had completely transformed into the Two-Tails Matatabi, thus gaining the full power of the tailed beast.

This was an unprecedented feeling of power. Yukimaru was confident that he could face any opponent without losing, even the Third Kazekage who seemed to have been resurrected and gained great power.

"Turn to ashes, you arrogant bastard."

Yuzuki Maru roared.

The next moment, a stream of blue, high-temperature flames shot out from his mouth, transforming into a long river of blue flames.

In the blink of an eye, Pain, the Third Kazekage controlled by Madara Uchiha, was engulfed by the river of flames.

After transforming into Matatabi, Yukimaru, who was temporarily standing in the air using the flames that spewed out with his footsteps, felt that he was now the master of the flames. With a thought, the river of flames below quickly transformed into a huge vortex of flames.

Perhaps the temperature of the flames was too astonishing, because a large hole was burned through the thick ground, revealing the heavy tortoise shell underneath. The terrifying firepower penetrated the shell and acted on the giant tortoise, causing it to let out a miserable scream.

The entire Turtle Island experienced another massive tremor.

"do you died?"

Yuzuki Maru stared at the blue flame vortex below, which remained motionless for a long time, and asked in confusion.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who died?"

Suddenly, the enemy's cold voice appeared behind Yuzuki Maru.

Upon hearing the sound, Yuzuki immediately swung his two giant fiery tails and swept them wildly behind him, creating a sky full of whip-like shadows.

Yuzuki Maru's mood worsened the more he swept his tail, because he didn't hit anyone at all.

The enemy was far more powerful than she had imagined, and even though he had transformed into You Lü, he didn't necessarily have much of a chance of winning.

Since that's the case, there's no need for him to continue getting entangled with the enemy here.

As a Jinchūriki, his first priority was to protect the Tailed Beast within him. However, he cherished his comrades even more, and he was also the strongest in the Hidden Cloud Village on the island. Therefore, he stayed behind to hold off the enemy so that his comrades could retreat safely.

He calculated the time and concluded that his companions should have already evacuated safely.

Although we couldn't save Turtle Island, we can't worry about that now.

With this thought in mind, Yuki Maru decisively moved his limbs quickly, moving through the air as if walking on flat ground, heading straight towards the Land of Lightning.

In just a few seconds, Yuzuki Maru had moved more than ten kilometers away from Turtle Island, and he did not notice that the enemy was chasing him, which made him feel relieved.

But as he walked, he began to realize that something was not quite right.

"What's going on? Logically, I've already run over a hundred kilometers, and I shouldn't be able to see Turtle Island anymore. Why is it still behind me?"

Yuzuki turned his head and looked, surprised, his heart sinking to the bottom.

Then, he finally realized that he was very likely under the influence of the enemy's illusion.

Come to think of it, the Third Kazekage's eyes were the Rinnegan and the Mangekyou Sharingan respectively, so he must have possessed powerful genjutsu abilities.

However, he did not despair, because he was now a perfect Jinchūriki and could communicate with Matatabi to have it help him break free from the illusion.

This is one of the advantages of a perfect Jinchūriki.

"It's no use, you idiot. The enemy's illusions are far more powerful than you think."

Just as Yuzuki was thinking this, Matatabi inside him spoke.

It is now in perfect harmony with Yuzuki Maru; as long as Yuzuki Maru develops his mind, it will know what he is thinking.

Yuzuki Maru was once again taken aback by what Yutaka said. He could hardly believe it was true; the two of them were unable to break the enemy's illusion in the conventional way.

Suddenly, two sharp iron spikes appeared out of thin air on Yuzuki Maru's legs, piercing through them and causing him to fall out of his mouth.

The moment he fell into the sea, he found that the scene before him shattered like a mirror, turning into darkness, and then light appeared again.

He's back, back in the real world.

He discovered that he was still pinned to the ground by the Third Kazekage's powerful gravity ninjutsu, and the two of them had never moved.

At that moment, Yukimaru instantly understood what was going on. It was clear that he had fallen under the Third Kazekage's genjutsu the moment he first made eye contact with his eyes.

Unfortunately, he realized this too late; he was now a sitting duck for the enemy.

The next moment, layers of black iron sand quickly covered Yuzuru's body. Yuzuru tried to resist, but found that he couldn't move at all. The enemy still controlled him with powerful illusions. The fact that he was able to wake up was just the enemy's intention.

"Never mind, it's just a slightly larger ant after all, there's no point in playing with it."

Madara Uchiha looked at the resentment, regret, and despair that gradually appeared in Yukimaru's eyes, sighed, and then a glint of light flashed in his eyes. Yukimaru's eyes instantly dimmed, and his consciousness returned to darkness.

Meanwhile, in Yukimaru's mental space, Uchiha Madara appeared. Despite being nothing more than an ant in front of Matataru, he stared at Matataru with the attitude one would use to look at a weak animal, which made Matataru extremely angry.

It was precisely because Madara Uchiha appeared here that Matatabi was unable to help Yugimaru break free from the control of the genjutsu immediately, as he himself was suppressed by Madara Uchiha's genjutsu.

If it weren't for its home-field advantage here, it would have been controlled by Madara Uchiha's genjutsu long ago, and would have been powerless to resist.

"Damn human, I see endless darkness and malice in your eyes. I never imagined that the Rinnegan would be controlled by such an evil person as you. Just watch, you will be devoured by this darkness sooner or later."

Pressed to the ground by an invisible pressure, Matataru stared intently at Uchiha Madara before him and shouted angrily.

"Endless darkness, huh? What do you know, you beast? Be smart and become a stepping stone for me to realize my dream. You've already reached the end of your road, so don't make any more futile resistance."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha sneered and continued to use the power of his Rinnegan and Mangekyou Sharingan to suppress the Two-Tails.

If his power hadn't been scattered elsewhere, and the power he left on Pain hadn't been insufficient, he could have easily suppressed Matatabi and Yukimaru simultaneously with genjutsu, without spending so much time.

"Don't even think about it."

The traveler roared and continued to struggle fiercely.

However, it is now like a flying insect caught in a spider web; the more it struggles, the more spider silk gets tangled around it.

Gradually, its struggles weakened, and its enormous eyes transformed into the Rinnegan and Mangekyou Sharingan respectively.

Following the Seven-Tails and Four-Tails, Madara Uchiha successfully captured the Two-Tails, Matatabi.

Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away on the Land of Water, a fierce battle is unfolding in Kirigakure.

Snakes, a large number of huge snakes broke through the walls of Kirigakure and entered the village, wreaking havoc. Among these giant snakes, one white snake was the most astonishing. It was as big as a mountain, and with a slight flick of its tail, many buildings in Kirigakure were reduced to ruins.

Faced with the attack of these terrifying giant snakes, and seeing their homes severely damaged and their friends and family killed, a large number of Kirigakure ninjas roared and charged at the giant snakes, unleashing a variety of powerful ninjutsu to attack them.

However, there were too many giant snakes, each with the strength of at least a Jonin, and relying on their size advantage, the power they unleashed was far more terrifying than that of an ordinary Jonin.

The most terrifying thing was that the white serpent, which was as big as a mountain, was so powerful that even when many of the Jonin among them released powerful ninjutsu to attack at the same time, they could not even break its scales.

"Too weak. Is this the strength of Kirigakure? It seems that the quality of the ninjas here has dropped too much since we left the war."

The White Snake Sage, now Madara Uchiha's Animal Path Pain, raised his enormous snake head and looked down at the large number of Kirigakure ninjas around him, mocking them in a deafening voice.

"You beast, don't be so smug. When the Fourth Generation Lord returns, you will surely die without a burial place."

"Go to hell, you beast, I'll kill you."

"Aaaaah~, I'm going to die with you!"

……

Hearing the White Snake Sage's mocking words, the many Mist Ninjas surrounding him grew increasingly enraged, roaring with madness and hatred before charging towards the White Snake Sage without regard for their own safety.

"Bang bang bang~"

Suddenly, a series of explosions occurred.
