Obito's tone carried a hint of surprise, and at the same time, a sense of defeat rose in his heart.
Why, why did I fail again?
This was true when facing Uchiha Igaku, and it was also true when facing Namikaze Minato!
It was as if every step I took was within their calculations, leaving me utterly powerless to fight back.
At that moment, Obito began to deeply doubt his own intelligence...
"You're planning to separate me from the Nine-Tails?"
"Now that the Nine-Tails is no longer yours, you can rest in peace!"
At this moment, Minato Namikaze's voice sounded exceptionally cold.
This is quite different from his usual gentle and sunny image.
Those in the ninja world who have seen him like this have probably already gone to report to the Pure Land.
Seeing this, Obito Uchiha was also somewhat stunned.
This was the first time he had ever seen his teacher so cold and murderous.
This made him feel somewhat lost, and it seemed as if some things were drifting further and further away from him.
However, Obito's Kamui was still undeniable at this moment. In just a breath, he intangibly escaped the battlefield and broke free from Minato Namikaze's control.
"Truly worthy of being the Fourth Hokage!"
Standing atop a towering tree, Obito, while recovering from his injuries, spoke with a complex expression.
"I didn't expect you could hurt me and separate the Nine-Tails, but Hiruzen Sarutobi, well..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the void around Obito Uchiha began to distort.
The next instant, he vanished from the spot.
"Now, are you going to save Hiruzen Sarutobi, or deal with the Nine-Tails? Hahaha..."
"what?"
Upon hearing Obito's words, Minato Namikaze's expression changed, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he quickly made up his mind.
The Third Hokage, who upheld the "Will of Fire," would surely have preferred him to save Konoha.
After all, what he "loves" most is the village!
Moreover, Kushina... won't be able to hold on for much longer...
……
After Hiruzen Sarutobi saved Kakashi, he looked towards Konoha and saw Minato Namikaze finally make his move. Then he turned and headed towards the Root base.
According to Koharu Utatane, Danzo is currently in a very passive position...
He knew that although Danzo had many trump cards, his ability to fight head-on was ultimately limited.
Therefore, we must go and rescue Danzo.
After all, among the Konoha F4, the most important ones are him and Danzo.
Soon, Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived at the Root battlefield.
However, the very next second after he appeared, he used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to reposition himself.
They avoided Nagato's usual attack range and carefully observed their surroundings, making thorough preparations to deal with the mysterious person who destroyed Root.
"The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi? One of the culprits behind World War II and World War III, Danzo's backer, you're too late..."
A cold voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, rang in his ears.
At the same time, a figure whose lower body had been severed, lying on the ground barely breathing and awaiting death, also came into Minato Namikaze's view—
That figure was none other than Shimura Danzo, who had failed to escape.
"How could this be..."
"Why not?"
Pain turned his head, looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had an incredulous expression on his face, and said with a light laugh.
"Before the 'God,' all beings are equal! How could Danzo, a mere nobody, possibly fight the 'God' to a standstill?"
All I can say is that after being robbed by Uchiha Eboshi and Obito, Danzo lost his Sharingan revival token and then encountered Pain, who possessed the Rinnegan.
There's really no escaping it!
In the original timeline, Danzo had so many "lives," all of which were killed by Sasuke.
Not to mention, Nagato's hatred for Danzo was no less intense.
Nagato's strength at this moment is definitely greater than Sasuke's at that time!
Taijutsu, Wind Release, sealing techniques, plus a three-tomoe Sharingan—that's all the methods Shimura Danzo can currently use to fight his enemies.
Physical techniques are clearly insufficient to break through the defenses of Pain, who possesses the Rinnegan.
While Wind Release techniques aren't completely ineffective against defenses, relying on a series of Wind Release ninjutsu to inflict fatal damage on Pain is wishful thinking.
For most fragile ninjas, the sealing technique "Seal of Self-Destruction" is indeed troublesome, as it can be activated and seal the enemy's movements simply by making contact.
However, Nagato came from the Uzumaki clan, which was the most skilled in sealing techniques in the ninja world.
Moreover, it's impossible to restrain Pain with something like this; there's not even a one in a billion chance.
As for that three-tomoe Sharingan that I don't know who it came from... let's not push it too hard.
Thus, Danzo Shimura, who was completely overwhelmed by Pain, found himself in an insurmountable disadvantage after all his Root ninjas were wiped out.
Danzo had originally hoped that Koharu Utatane, who was "protecting him," would be able to call Hiruzen Sarutobi over for support soon.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi was busy plotting against Minato Namikaze and also made an appearance to rescue Kakashi from Kurama's clutches.
Danzo ultimately did not receive support from his "old friend" or "old classmate".
No matter how ambitious he was, no matter how much he resented it, no matter how much he regretted it...
None of this could change his fate of being killed on the spot by Pain, becoming a stepping stone for Pain's rise to fame.
"Damn it, at least we should bring Danzo's body back..."
With a complex expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi charged toward Danzo Shimura's mangled body.
He couldn't possibly let his "good brother" really die without a burial place!
"Don't even think about it!"
Pain, the Deva Path, fired several kunai at Hiruzen Sarutobi, their speed amplified by the repulsive force.
Nagato's hatred for Danzo was enough to make him do something like scattering Danzo's ashes.
How could that be? How could Hiruzen Sarutobi have taken back the other person's body?
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowly dodged all of Pain's hidden weapons, he also lost his best chance to retrieve Danzo Shimura.
With a single swing of his kunai, Pain severed Danzo's head.
Then he took out a blank scroll and sealed the corpse and head inside it.
"you……"
"Don't talk to 'God' in such a fierce tone. What you've done is far worse than what I've done..."
As Pain tossed the sealing scroll around, he thought about Konan's reminder about how much bounty Danzo's body could fetch on the black market, and how he could "contribute" to Yahiko's dream.
In this way, he "died a worthy death".
He should atone for causing Yahiko's death!
"Who are you, and why are you attacking Konoha?"
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's aged face gradually became serious.
The opponent is a very difficult enemy to deal with, and there is more than one of them.
In truth, what Hiruzen Sarutobi regretted most at that moment was that he had driven away his two disciples with rumors.
If Jiraiya and Tsunade were still in the village, things would never have turned out this way.
Chapter 144, My Teammate's Success Makes It Even More Painful
"Damn it, I was careless again!"
Inside Obito Uchiha's Kamui dimension, he activated the White Zetsu's half-body to heal his injuries, his eyes filled with resentment.
Whether his failure this time was due to carelessness is something only he knows.
He simply refused to admit the real reason for his failure.
She quietly walked to a place where clothes were stored and changed into a brand new set of clothes.
Looking at his injuries, which were now mostly healed, Obito breathed a sigh of relief.
He was preparing to go out again.
Although their own operation failed, Nagato's operation went very smoothly.
This is infuriating!
That's just how reality is; nothing highlights one's "incompetence" more than a teammate's success!
So, he's planning to stir up some more trouble!
Ideally, we should stall them and see if Nagato will take care of the Third Hokage while he's at it.
"Moreover, normally speaking, it probably won't be so easy for them to deal with the Nine-Tails."
Obito Uchiha pondered to himself.
"However, with that guy Uchiha Sō around, we have to be careful."
"Currently, among the Mangekyou Sharingan users, he is the only one I haven't fought yet. The unknown is the most terrifying thing..."
"What a mysterious fellow, he's never revealed his eye technique before..."
According to Obito Uchiha's investigation over this period, that bastard played a significant role in getting Minato Namikaze become Hokage.
