Above the cloud layer of the Land of Rain, the flying fortress dragged out a long trajectory, flying towards the Ninja Village Alliance headquarters.
Standing on the external platform of the fortress, Shinji gazed at the distant battlefield.
Because he had been constantly monitoring the headquarters, the moment the Akatsuki organization launched the attack, Shinji received the news here.
So, he directly controlled the flying fortress to rush over.
This battle might very likely be the final battle of the Fourth Great Ninja War. The grievances and entanglements between the Akatsuki organization and the Ninja Village Alliance, whether the Ten-Tails could be resurrected, the future direction of the Ninja World, etc., might all be revealed in this battle!
"Finally waited until..."
Shinji murmured a sentence.
Through the gaps in the clouds, he saw the Ninja Village Alliance headquarters filled with flames below.
Perhaps due to the distance, he couldn't hear the sounds of killing and roaring in the headquarters clearly. But the whistling wind beside his ears seemed to fill this gap, allowing him to feel the armored horses and iron soldiers, mountains of blades and seas of fire on the entire battlefield below!
Karin came to Shinji's side at this time, whispering: "My lord, are we going to take action?"
Shinji turned his head, finding not only Karin, but also Mumei, Yakumo, Haku, Neji, and Kimimaro silently gathered on this external platform at this moment, their gazes focused on him, eagerly waiting for his order.
Shinji's gaze swept over everyone.
These people were his subordinates, his companions, and even more so the 'Light' that would face the darkness with him and protect the Ninja World!
"Nervous?"
Shinji asked with a light smile.
Everyone was stunned, then nodded one by one.
Everyone was clear what this battle meant, so when approaching the battlefield, it was inevitable to have a trace of nervousness.
Shinji withdrew his gaze, looking at the battlefield again.
It was not yet time for him to take action. He must wait until Nagato collected all Tailed Beasts and successfully resurrected the Ten-Tails before taking action.
Only in this way could he wait at his ease and capture the Ten-Tails with the highest probability.
Thinking of this, he began to comb through the action plan repeatedly in his mind, ensuring no key issues were left out.
"Toneri Otsutsuki on the moon should still be fusing the Tenseigan right now, probably having no spare energy to intervene in the Ninja World War..."
"Itachi is fusing the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, his combat power is at a low point. Even if he wants to change something, he lacks the strength. This uncertain factor can also be ruled out..."
"The fake 'Itachi Uchiha' materialized by the Hegemon using fear projection is still playing hide-and-seek with Orochimaru in the Land of Hot Water, probably having no ability to interfere in the Ninja World War..."
Shinji ruled out people or forces that might intervene one by one.
Previously he let go of Toneri Otsutsuki, letting the opponent snatch Hiashi's Byakugan. Besides hoping the Ninja World could have one more combat power to confront the Hegemon, another reason was to use fusing the Tenseigan to tie down Toneri Otsutsuki, so he couldn't interfere with the resurrection of the Ten-Tails.
For Itachi Uchiha, it was also the same.
In the original timeline, the dead Itachi Uchiha changed the direction of the war situation. Now what the living Itachi Uchiha could do, no one could say for sure. So instead of guarding against Itachi Uchiha, it was better to find something for the opponent to do first, pinning down this trouble.
As for the fake 'Itachi Uchiha' created by the Hegemon, Shinji still felt some lingering fear until now. If he hadn't been cautious enough at that time and personally participated in the encirclement of Tanjiro, then the one being entangled now would be him, not Orochimaru.
Restraining his thoughts, Shinji no longer distracted himself, observing the great battle below with full concentration.
On the battlefield.
The five Jinchuriki turned into new Pain Six Paths by Nagato began complete Tailed Beast transformation one after another.
First was Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yugito Nii. After being knocked flying by the Fourth Raikage, she immediately entered the complete body state, turning into a cat demon burning with blue flames like a small mountain!
Subsequently, Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Seven-Tails Jinchuriki were liberated one after another, turning into the original appearance of their respective Tailed Beasts.
For a time, because of the appearance of these five Tailed Beasts, the originally large Ninja Village Alliance headquarters became crowded because of this. Plus the monster 'Satoru' circling in the air, the entire headquarters became even more chaotic.
To deal with the Akatsuki organization, the Ninja Village Alliance also spared no effort here.
Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee soon also completely transformed into a Tailed Beast. With his own strength, he forcibly dragged Two-Tails and Four-Tails out of the headquarters, unfolding a fierce battle in the forest on one side of the headquarters.
Tsunade directly confronted Five-Tails. Onoki confronted Seven-Tails. Terumi Mei and Pakura joined hands to drive Six-Tails out of the headquarters.
Bang...
After knocking down Five-Tails Kokuo with a punch of monstrous strength, Tsunade panted while asking Shizune beside her: "Where is Naruto?"
Shizune shook her head: "Don't know, he is not in the camp!"
"Could he still be in Mount Myoboku?" Tsunade murmured secretly, then looked around: "Where is Yakumo? Where is she?"
Right now the Ninja Village Alliance suffered losses because the number of Jinchuriki was at a disadvantage, urgently lacking people who could confront large-volume monsters. So Yakumo's 'Wood Release' appeared particularly important at this time!
Shizune shook her head again: "Yakumo is not in the camp either! Akatsuki's surprise attack this time was too sudden. The headquarters completely fell into chaos, simply can't find people!"
Tsunade frowned, saying in a deep voice: "Incorrect. If she were in the camp, she should have used 'Wood Release' by now!"
Just then, Shizune shouted: "Be careful!"
Five-Tails Kokuo, who was just knocked down by Tsunade, stood up unsteadily at this time, then sprinted towards Tsunade.
Wrestling with a Tailed Beast was obviously not a wise choice. But if Tsunade stepped aside, the camp behind her would be razed to the ground by Five-Tails all the way. So she could only activate monstrous strength punch again, meeting the sprinting Five-Tails Kokuo.
Collision of strength and strength began again.
Outside the headquarters.
On an uninhabited high slope, a distorted vortex appeared abruptly. Then, Obito walked out leisurely from the vortex.
At the same time, Zetsu also poked his body out from underground, appearing beside Obito.
Zetsu asked: "Went smoothly?"
"Mhm!"
Obito was unwilling to say more, only nodding and responding.
Zetsu looked at the battlefield, smiling: "This batch of new Pain Six Paths made by Nagato using Jinchuriki is indeed powerful. several defense lines painstakingly managed by the Ninja Village Alliance were broken through in a blink of an eye."
"Located Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
What Obito cared about most was obviously still Eight-Tails and the other half of Nine-Tails.
Zetsu pointed to the distance: "Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has already appeared, just over there. But there are many Ninja Village Alliance ninjas around him, we haven't taken him down yet. As for the Nine-Tails brat, no trace found yet!"
Obito frowned: "Not found?"
Zetsu was also somewhat puzzled: "I just searched around in the Ninja Village Alliance headquarters, indeed didn't find him. I guess that brat might have been hidden by the Ninja Village Alliance!"
