Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

Jiraiya walked over at that moment, carrying a wooden bucket in his hand.

"Not at the moment."

Kakashi rubbed his temples and shook his head.

"Then you should rest for a while and have a bowl of noodles. I'll take your place."

Jiraiya took a bowl of ramen out of the wooden bucket and handed it to Kakashi.

Kakashi did not refuse; after guarding him for so long, he was also suffering from some neurasthenia.

He broke open the disposable chopsticks, opened the lid, and a waft of hot air carrying a rich aroma wafted onto his face, making his mouth water.

However, Kakashi seemed completely oblivious to all of this. He simply lowered his head, pulled down his mask, and quickly finished his ramen in less than a minute, leaving Jiraiya, who was trying to sneak a peek at Kakashi's face under his mask, utterly disappointed.

After finishing his noodles, Kakashi sighed.

"Lord Jiraiya, do you think Naruto will emerge from seclusion first, or will the enemy attack first?"

Jiraiya shook his head: "No one knows for sure, but we must prepare for the worst."

"But you don't need to worry too much. We've been safe and sound for almost four weeks now. Even if the enemy attacks now, we'll only have to hold out for a few more days at most."

"I'm afraid you won't even last half a day."

A sudden voice rang out, causing Kakashi and Jiraiya to turn around abruptly and immediately unleash their ninjutsu.

"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"

"Purple Lightning!"

Raging flames and purple lightning erupted simultaneously, attacking the chakra reaction that had suddenly appeared outside Konoha Village.

However, a blue half-giant suddenly rose up there, blocking Jiraiya and Kakashi's ninjutsu.

"This is... Susanoo?" Kakashi recognized the technique used by the opponent.

As the smoke cleared, two figures were revealed.

The newcomers were none other than Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha!

At this time, Obito Uchiha temporarily replaced his left eye with the Rinnegan to summon the Gedo Mazo, so the Susanoo that just rose up was of course Madara Uchiha's.

"Obito... does your presence here mean that you or Madara Uchiha have become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki?"

Kakashi broke out in a cold sweat, unable to help but imagine the worst-case scenario.

"Such a weak attack, huh, Kakashi, I have been reborn, while you are still just as weak." Obito Uchiha stood in Madara Uchiha's Susanoo, looking down at Kakashi.

At that moment, the Hyuga clansmen heard the commotion and rushed over.

"The enemy has appeared? How could this be? We clearly didn't detect any chakra approaching!" a Hyuga clansman exclaimed in surprise.

Kakashi wasn't surprised: "Of course, because the enemy appeared right in front of us using space-time ninjutsu."

He then leaned close to Jiraiya's ear and whispered, "Lord Jiraiya, have you notified headquarters yet?"

Jiraiya stared solemnly at the two Uchiha opposite him and nodded.

"You brats from Konoha, tell me, where is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?" Madara Uchiha asked in a deep voice, his tone brooking no refusal.

Kakashi carefully considered his words, then deliberately feigned arrogance, saying, "You're looking for Naruto? But you don't seem to have become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki. Under these circumstances, you still dare to come to Konoha. Aren't you afraid that Naruto will seize the opportunity to kill you?"

"Heh, then why don't you call him out?" Obito Uchiha seemed completely unconcerned, perhaps realizing that Naruto wasn't there.

Kakashi said calmly, "Sure, I'll call him out right now."

"Naruto, there's an enemy!"

As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, Obito Uchiha, who was about to mock him a few more times, suddenly noticed a purple figure in front of him.

It was a purple chakra arrow, imbued with purple lightning and natural energy!

In just a moment, the purple arrow traversed the distance, heading straight for Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito.

Whoosh!

The purple arrow struck Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha with lightning speed, giving them no time to defend themselves.

However, Madara Uchiha was a reanimated body, and the half of his body that was shattered by the purple arrow quickly recovered, without changing his expression throughout.

Obito Uchiha, on the other hand, carefully maintained his intangible state, so he was not injured.

He looked up and saw Sasuke piloting a purple Susanoo hundreds of meters tall, flying through the air, staring at them with eyes full of hatred.

Although it didn't cause any damage, the attack still shocked him, because it actually contained Sage Mode chakra. He almost really thought it was Naruto's ambush and wanted to retreat.

However, after realizing that the person who came was actually Sasuke, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that Naruto is indeed not there.

"It seems Zetsu's information was correct. Naruto Uzumaki did indeed go into seclusion somewhere to break through his cultivation, just like we did some time ago."

A relieved smile appeared on Obito Uchiha's face.

The plan was indeed correct.

They could have remained hidden at the boundary between life and death until the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki was born, but they chose to emerge from seclusion early.

The reason was that Obito Uchiha wanted to test whether the information was correct.

If Naruto really goes into seclusion, then no one in the ninja world can stop the Ten-Tails from being resurrected halfway. They might be able to take this opportunity to search the entire ninja world, find Naruto who is unable to escape, and kill him in one fell swoop.

Even if the intelligence is wrong, it doesn't matter if Naruto didn't actually go into seclusion. At worst, they can just hide back in the border between life and death until the Ten-Tails is fully resurrected and a Jinchuriki is born.

By then, Naruto, who hadn't completed the ritual, would be no match for the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and there wouldn't be enough time to perform the ritual.

Obito then formed hand seals.

"Summoning Technique: Gedo Mazo!"

Thick white smoke rose into the sky, and a gigantic figure appeared before the people of Konoha.

Although not complete, the Gedo Mazo at this point had gathered the chakra of all nine tailed beasts and released a portion of their power.

He stood on all fours, his ten tails held high, a red Sharingan eye with tomoe on his forehead, and his gaping maw revealed countless sharp teeth.

"Roar!"

As soon as the Gedo Mazo descended, it condensed a red Tailed Beast Ball in its mouth and suddenly transformed it into a long beam of light that shot out.

boom!

This attack even had the power to pierce through Konoha.

However, when Obito Uchiha looked closely, he found that Konoha had not suffered any damage; instead, a mountain in the distance had been leveled.

"Ok?"

With the powerful insight of the Mangekyou Sharingan and Rinnegan, he quickly realized the problem.

It is a barrier, a barrier with the ability to teleport.

He tried to use Kamui to transfer himself and the Gedo Mazo inside Konoha, but failed.

"Damn it, it's definitely Naruto Uzumaki..."

Obito Uchiha's expression darkened.

In that case, it will probably take some time just to break the barrier.

Madara Uchiha realized this as well, and said calmly, "You stay here and break the barrier, I'll go play with that Uchiha clansman."

After saying that, he directly piloted Susanoo to the opposite side of Sasuke.

"Uchiha clansmen, do you dare to come out and fight me?" Madara Uchiha said in a contemptuous tone.

Kakashi was about to warn Sasuke not to act impulsively when he saw Sasuke rush out.

Madara Uchiha grinned immediately: "Commendable courage! What's your name?"

“Uchiha Sasuke.” Sasuke looked coldly at Uchiha Madara.

"These mere relics from the old era shouldn't be displayed to embarrass ourselves!"

As he spoke, his left eye emitted a bewitching light, and a tear of blood streamed down his face.

"Misfortune day!"

The next moment, golden flames burst forth from Madara Uchiha's body.

"what!"

Even a powerful figure like Madara Uchiha let out a scream the moment he was hit.

"It even burns the soul? What an interesting eye technique..."

Because of the Impure World Reincarnation, Madara Uchiha's body does not feel pain.

He also quickly adapted to the spiritual pain.

"Don't compare me to a brat like Obito. That level of me can't even break my fighting spirit!"

He then piloted Susanoo and charged towards Sasuke.

However, Sasuke seemed to have anticipated his intentions, dodged in advance, and even fired an arrow backhand, creating a large hole in Madara Uchiha's Susanoo.

"Ok?"

Madara Uchiha, who was familiar with the Mangekyou Sharingan, quickly guessed the reason.

"Hehe, interesting eye technique, and such eye power. And you happen to look somewhat like Izuna. What a twist of fate."

"My people, why not join us?"

Sasuke sneered, "Then you should hand over the Ten-Tails and the Rinnegan first."

"How dare you, a mere relic from the old era, give me orders!"

Hearing Sasuke's words, Madara Uchiha wasn't angry. He simply said, "You want to dance too? Then show me as much of yourself as possible, and let me have some more fun!"

Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha was still trying to break the barrier left by Naruto, but he had not made any progress.

All of his and the Ten-Tails' attacks were redirected elsewhere, and there were also occasional illusions interfering with the attacks. In addition, Kakashi and the others inside the barrier were also looking for opportunities, making him feel extremely frustrated. The stalemate had lasted for three hours.

After failing to break the barrier once again, Obito Uchiha became enraged.

"Damn it, I don't believe your barrier can really transfer attacks without limit!"
