"Wh...what's going on...!?"
"He flew away???"
"Is he... running away... that guy...!?"
On the ground,
A group of samurai from the Land of Iron looked at the leaving Madara in the sky, guessing variously.
They barely dared to observe the situation from afar.
But even so,
They could still feel the powerful aura emanating from this enemy.
And that giant, overwhelmingly intimidating blue Chakra Armor.
Seeing him leave now,
These people naturally breathed a sigh of relief and began to guess his purpose.
However,
Although their thoughts were optimistic,
The Four Kage on the other side were completely unable to be optimistic.
First was A, who had broken out of the encirclement.
With his perception, he naturally immediately detected Madara's sudden movement.
At first,
He thought it was just clones pursuing him.
But then he found something was off...
Clones simply couldn't have this scale of overwhelming Chakra oppressiveness!
So,
He glanced with his peripheral vision,
And sure enough... Madara's main body was flying over, controlling the Susano'o!
And,
His target didn't seem to be pursuing the Raikage, but rather the direction of the Nine-Tails!
Realizing this,
Raikage naturally had an ominous premonition in his heart!
He violently gritted his teeth and accelerated again.
Meanwhile, on the ground,
Tsunade, Onoki, and Mei were frozen, their expressions stunned and surprised.
Just moments ago, they had been thinking of joining forces to deal with the Madara Susano'o clones before them, but now, incidents kept appearing one after another!
First, the Nine-Tails' Chakra was devoured by that grey monster, then A, driven by impulse, charged out of the Susano'o encirclement alone towards that direction...
And now,
Even the usually arrogant Madana had rushed over!
Undoubtedly,
The battle situation was developing in an extremely unfavorable direction!
"!"
They exchanged glances,
Without even time to think,
Instantly, each made the same decision in their hearts!
That was—
Join forces to break through the encirclement here and rush to the center of the other battlefield!
Regardless of the enemy's true purpose,
They must stop it!!
And at this moment,
On the other side of the battlefield,
The purple chains of the Outer Path Statue were rapidly retracting, accompanied by the completely drained crimson Nine-Tails' Chakra.
Sasuke stood atop the Outer Path Statue, looking down from above, his expression indifferent.
Then, for some reason, he suddenly lowered his eyes and murmured to himself:
"My former... [comrade]."
Before his words ended,
On the ground,
Naruto's body fell vertically.
In his pupils, only disbelief, shock... and deep unwillingness remained.
Unfortunately,
With the Nine-Tails' Chakra drained, he completely lost consciousness.
"!!"
At this moment,
Kakashi, who was not far away, locked in combat with Obito, saw this scene, his heart instantly skipped a beat, his expression drastically changing!
!!!
Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra really... had been extracted!!?
Damn it!!!
Kakashi looked at Obito before him, his eyes filled with despair and anger. The kunai in his hand involuntarily clenched tighter, veins bulging!
If Obito hadn't been blocking him just now, he might have had a chance to forcibly take Naruto away!
With the talisman Jiraiya had given him, he could completely suppress Naruto's rampage and take him away from here!
But now... everything was over!!
As everyone knows,
Once the Tailed Beast inside a Jinchuriki is extracted... they will die!!
Thinking of this,
Kakashi's expression grew even uglier.
However, just then,
Obito opposite suddenly let out a few deep and sinister laughs, and spoke:
"Ka—ka—shi!"
"Witnessing an important person die before your eyes, unable to stop it... how does it feel...!?"
"Well, but..."
"This guy has the blood of the Uzumaki Clan flowing in him. Even if the Nine-Tails is extracted... he won't die immediately."
"Just like—"
"Uzumaki Kushina back then!"
Obito's words fell heavily.
Amidst the white snow, it seemed as if many snowflakes were shattered by the force!
"!!"
At this moment,
Kakashi's heart felt as if struck by a thousand-pound hammer, instantly stopping!!
The next moment,
His pupils instantly began to contract, a chill running down his spine!!
A terrifying guess suddenly emerged in his mind...!!
It was an event from more than ten years ago...
On a night of the full moon,
An unprecedented disaster befell Konoha!
The Nine-Tails Rampage!!
It was said that back then,
A mysterious black-robed figure wearing a mask appeared, first luring away the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, and then... brutally extracted the Nine-Tails from Uzumaki Kushina's body!
And, using the Sharingan to control the materialized Nine-Tails, he wreaked havoc within Konoha!!
In the end,
The Fourth Hokage and his wife both passed away.
And resealed the rampaging Nine-Tails within their child's body.
That child,
Needless to say, was naturally the current Naruto.
And that mysterious black-robed masked man,
Had always been a mystery.
Many had speculated it was someone from the Uchiha Clan, hence the Uchiha began to be completely isolated by the village.
But later... the Uchiha Clan was wiped out.
So no one speculated further.
And today—
After hearing Obito's just-spoken words,
Kakashi's face instantly turned pale, his gaze fixed on Obito, filled with unbelievable shock!
Yes, that's right.
He had completely guessed it!
The Obito before him... was very likely the black-robed man from back then!!
The culprit of the Nine-Tails Rampage!!
