Meanwhile, on the other side.
Far to the north of the Land of Fire, deep in the mountains.
At this moment, within a canyon, several figures stood.
Three of them, all with black hair and red pupils, wearing black robe, had an extraordinary bearing.
Suddenly, a deep voice spoke.
"Since we have successfully retrieved the three Jinchuriki, then... there is no need to wait."
"Release them all, Obito."
"...Hmph."
The one who spoke was naturally the Edo Tenseid Madara.
And standing around him at this moment were the other three in the group, Obito, Black Zetsu, and Sasuke.
Different from before, the four of them were now all wearing a set of black robe, seemingly some kind of new uniform.
And the one who had just answered Madara was naturally Obito, who had returned after capturing the Jinchuriki.
After answering Madara, Obito hesitated no longer, raised his hand, and placed it on his right eye's Mangekyo.
The next moment, Chakra circulated, and the Mangekyo Sharingan activated instantly.
Kamui!
Whoosh!
An invisible spatial vortex swirled, and Obito instantly released the three bound Jinchuriki from the Kamui Dimension.
"?"
Seeing these instruments,
Madara and Sasuke's gazes simultaneously shifted slightly.
Clearly, they hadn't expected Obito to bring the restraining tools along with the Jinchuriki...
And moreover,
Sasuke's gaze involuntarily turned to a red-haired boy beside him.
Although he was bound to the instrument, head lowered and unconscious, making his specific features unclear, the character for "Love" was clearly engraved on his forehead.
Seeing this, Sasuke frowned slightly.
He had just been thinking why this person looked somewhat familiar...
Now he remembered,
Three years ago, during the Chunin Exams in Konoha,
This guy had come as a representative participant from Sunagakure, named Gaara. There was also a violent girl named Temari accompanying him, and a puppeteer named Kankuro.
It was said this Gaara was the son of the Kazekage, and also the strongest among the Sunagakure Genin that time.
However, due to the sudden occurrence of the Konoha Crush incident back then, Sasuke hadn't witnessed what happened later...
Unexpectedly,
This guy is actually Suna's Jinchuriki...?
Sasuke's gaze lowered slightly, thinking.
However,
His expression remained cold.
There were no more emotional fluctuations in his heart.
Because now,
This Shinobi World meant nothing to him but something pitch-black and filthy.
There was nothing worth caring about
So, even if it was an "enemy" he had seen before, it didn't matter.
After all,
Their purpose and plan had already been achieved.
While Obito and Black Zetsu were in Amegakure capturing the Jinchuriki, Madara was also simultaneously teaching Sasuke about the power of the Rinnegan and the summoning formula for the Outer Path Statue.
And now,
Everything was ready.
Edo Tenseid Madara's gaze indifferent shifted to Sasuke beside him, and he spoke:
"Do it, Sasuke."
"From now on... open a new chapter."
Madara's gaze flickered as he spoke deeply.
And on this side,
Sasuke's expression remained unchanged, just coldly nodding, then stepping forward two paces to the front.
The next moment, his hands suddenly raised, rapidly forming hand seals!
At the same time,
The light purple Rinnegan in his eyes instantly emitted an overbearing aura.
The next moment, a few words faintly escaped his lips:
"Summoning Technique: Outer Path Statue!"
Bang!
The moment the words fell and hand seals were completed,
Countless cracks began to appear on the earth ahead!!
The next moment, an enormous Outer Path Statue suddenly crawled out from the ground, as if some demon had returned from hell to the human world!!
Seeing this scene,
Obito and Black Zetsu beside him immediately brightened, joy in their hearts!
It really is the Outer Path Statue!?
Summoning successful!
Excellent!
Unexpectedly, this kid Uchiha Sasuke,
Although he likes to show off, his... talent is still something!
This way, there's really no need to find a way to fight Akatsuki to seize the authority of the Outer Path Statue and the Rinnegan!
As long as Sasuke is here, the Eye of the Moon Plan can be easily achieved through a curve!!
Obito's gaze shone, his heart very joyful.
And at this moment,
Black Zetsu beside him was even more excited in his heart!
The plan to save his mother has taken another step forward!
Although it didn't expect,
Why this plan suddenly had another descendant of the Uchiha Clan appear midway...
However, well... it doesn't matter anymore!
What matters is,
These pawns have all played their appropriate roles!
Obito, once the driving force behind the Eye of the Moon Plan and also Madara's spokesperson.
With his understanding of various intelligence in the Shinobi World, it could be said no one surpassed him. Therefore now, he remains one of the main forces for collecting Jinchuriki, responsible for controlling the overall situation.
And Madara, undoubtedly, must be the strongest fighter in this team!
Even without the Rinnegan, even if only in Edo Tensei state, not fully revived... but as long as he doesn't encounter someone like Kyo who is a human-shaped cheat, he can definitely crush the entire Shinobi World, even with all Five Kage present, he wouldn't be intimidated!
And finally, Sasuke is the main executor of the Eye of the Moon Plan!
He will be responsible for using the Rinnegan's authority to control the Outer Path Statue to devour the Nine Tailed Beasts, thus reviving the Ten-Tails, and then step by step become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and even cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi!
And the final step of all this...
Will be the concluding time for its plan!
As long as Sasuke becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and casts the Infinite Tsukuyomi at that time, it can take the opportunity to sneak attack, instantly achieving the feat of saving mother!
Just thinking about it makes Black Zetsu happy...
At this moment,
Obito, Sasuke, and Madara beside him naturally couldn't know Black Zetsu's thoughts.
They're still focused on the plan before them.
After the Outer Path Statue appeared, its colossal body occupied almost half the size of the canyon, appearing particularly oppressive.
The three bound Jinchuriki, in front of it, appeared incredibly small, insignificant.
At this moment,
Controlling the Outer Path Statue, Sasuke's gaze focused, slowly exhaling.
To be honest,
Controlling the Outer Path Statue, for a beginner like him, was indeed quite strenuous.
Not only did it consume a considerable amount of Chakra, it also consumed a lot of physical strength, and even... something akin to life force.
However, it didn't matter anymore.
He raised his eyes, looked indifferently at Madara beside him, and inquired:
"Start directly?"
"Hmm."
Beside him, Madara had no hesitation, still putting his arm on his chest, indifferently nodding, and deeply said without emotion:
"End these Jinchuriki's suffering."
"The Tailed Beasts belong to us."
As his words fell,
Sasuke here hesitated no longer,
His gaze instantly hardened, the next moment, he raised his hands again, forming a complex seal.
Then, the Rinnegan's light flashed!
Whoosh!!
The next moment,
A sudden change occurred!
The huge Outer Path Statue ahead of Sasuke suddenly opened its mouth at this moment!
Then, from within that abyssal maw, an eerie blood-red light emanated, chilling!
Seeing this,
Obito and Black Zetsu both felt a stir in their hearts, becoming solemn.
They naturally knew what Sasuke was doing!
This technique is precisely the Outer Path Chains!
It allowed the user to control the Outer Path Statue, directly eject powerful Chakra Chains from its body, forcibly extracting the Tailed Beasts from the Jinchuriki and devouring them! !
This technique does not require gathering the power of multiple Shinobi like the Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals...
However,
It places extremely high demands on the caster themselves.
For this very reason,
Back then, Obito did not choose to tell that method to Nagato.
After all, with Nagato's weak vitality, it probably wouldn't even be enough to support the normal release of this technique...
However,
With Sasuke before him, there is indeed no need to worry.
Possessing both the bloodline of the Uchiha Clan and Hashirama's cells, his vitality is strong enough, and he is also sufficient to control the Rinnegan to complete this technique.
Sure enough, the next moment,
Three giant deep purple chains suddenly shot out from the Outer Path Statue's maw!
Boom!!!
Then, like illusory entities, they directly entered the bodies of the three unconscious Jinchuriki, and in an instant, began to emit an eerie dark purple glow!
The next moment,
Sasuke's gaze hardened!
The three giant chains, almost without any hindrance, instantly retracted!!
Simultaneously,
Three enormous Tailed Beast's Chakra were instantly forcibly separated from the Jinchuriki's bodies, binding onto the chains of the Outer Path Statue!!
And immediately after,
Attracted by the dark red light in the Outer Path Statue's maw, the three giant Tailed Beast's Chakra, in an instant, transformed into an immense torrent of Tailed Beasts,
All were devoured and sent in!!
Boom!!!!!
The vast force brought countless gales through the canyon!!
However,
Seeing this scene,
Madara, Obito, and the others all revealed smiles of success on their faces!
Success!
This kid Uchiha Sasuke really didn't disappoint!!
This way...
We just need to collect all the remaining Jinchuriki, and we can easily revive the Ten-Tails!!
"Phew."
On this side,
As the Outer Path Statue finished devouring, Sasuke also slowly exhaled, his expression returning to normal. And at this moment,
Madara beside him slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and slowly deeply chuckled:
"Well done, Sasuke."
"You truly are a junior recognized by me, Uchiha Madara..."
As his words fell,
Sasuke showed no emotional fluctuation, but looked up and directly asked:
"What's the next mission?"
"To revive the so-called Ten-Tails, just these three Tailed Beasts... are definitely not enough, right?"
He still spoke in a cold tone.
"...Of course not."
After hearing this, Madara beside him also didn't dawdle, directly saying indifferently:
"Next,"
"We will formally launch our attack."
"Regardless of whether that Akatsuki continues to interfere, the remaining six Tailed Beasts must return to our control."
"Obito,"
"Tell us your plan?"
Madara's gaze looked towards Obito here.
After all,
During the years since his death, the Shinobi World has undergone many earth-shaking changes, and the situations he knows are relatively few.
In comparison, Obito, who has been acting as his spokesperson, is considered a seasoned veteran of the Shinobi World.
He has a clear grasp of various Shinobi World's factions and Jinchuriki intelligence.
At times like this,
Asking him is the most safe method.
