Chapter 211: You Can't Even Beat a Bird, First Hokage, What Damn Use Are You!
The Eye of the Moon Plan had not even officially begun, yet the Akatsuki's initial operations of gathering intelligence and personnel had already been tripped up and thrown into disarray by a single crow and the organization under its command.
So far, not a single Tailed Beast had been captured, and they hadn't even ascertained the specific intelligence on each of them, yet the Akatsuki was already on the brink of collapse.
At this rate…
The Eye of the Moon Plan could already be declared a miscarriage.
Moreover, the intelligence of certain teammates was never online.
Obito Uchiha always fancied himself as having everything under control, yet he had never once considered how the Akatsuki should sustain itself and avoid disbandment after Orochimaru's defection.
After Orochimaru successfully used a part of the Gedo Statue's husk as sacrificial material to reanimate Hashirama Senju in his prime, Black Zetsu finally made up its mind to revive Madara Uchiha.
White Zetsu looked up at the moving True Several Thousand Hands and said loudly, "With Lord Madara's strength, he will surely be able to easily break free of Orochimaru's control, just like Hashirama Senju…"
Black Zetsu didn't care about that point; its will was incredibly strong. Even if Orochimaru were to abandon Madara's reanimated body, it had plenty of ways to make Orochimaru submit.
"Are we leaving this place now?" White Zetsu bent down, intending to slip into the earth and leave. "After all, the battle between that crow and Hashirama Senju will be very dangerous for us…"
"No!"
Black Zetsu controlled its body and stopped, saying in a low voice, "We still need to confirm that crow's strength! If it can defeat Hashirama Senju in his prime, it will be an incredibly troublesome problem, even for Madara!"
"It seems… the situation is not looking good?"
White Zetsu shook its head gently, a trace of sorrow in its tone.
They were very confident in Madara Uchiha, who possessed the Rinnegan. As for Hashirama Senju in his prime, he was not a concern.
Back in the day, Madara Uchiha with his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan had come very close to victory. Now that he possessed the Rinnegan, Madara should be able to defeat him with ease.
However, that crow… could not be judged by common sense.
Its heart must be even darker than Black Zetsu's, as it always sent people to obstruct them after any action their Akatsuki took… And its strength was far greater than Black Zetsu's!
Faced with the giant Buddha statue charging towards it, Kitahara hesitated for a moment. After determining that it could not finish condensing its chakra before Hashirama Senju's attack arrived, it took the initiative to cancel the release of its Tailed Beast Bomb for the first time…
The feathers on the Karasu-Tengu's body suddenly stood on end!
As it absorbed natural energy and released its chakra, Kitahara's body gradually expanded until it was the same size as the True Several Thousand Hands!
At least in terms of presence, the two were on equal footing!
A giant, sharp claw shot towards the top of the Buddha statue, where Hashirama Senju was located. As long as it defeated the user of the jutsu, the technique would naturally be dispelled!
"It's about to end…" Hashirama Senju's expression was solemn. He looked at the attacking claw and calmly clasped his hands together. "Sage Art: True Several Thousand Hands: Summit Enlightenment."
Underneath the compassionate tone was an attack capable of destroying everything!
Thousands of palms struck Kitahara's body!
Every palm strike from the Buddha statue carried a decisive momentum, each one powerful enough to easily defeat any other ninja present!
Even the Karasu-Tengu, as large as the Buddha statue, was staggering under the attack, barely using its two wings to keep from being knocked to the ground!
The wings on Itachi Uchiha's back suddenly spread. Seeing the Karasu-Tengu at a disadvantage, he was about to charge forward. "Kitahara!"
"Itachi-kun! These might be the materials to revive Madara Uchiha! Take them!" Kisame Hoshigaki threw a scroll and a box into Itachi's hands. "If the great Lord Kitahara can't defeat the First Hokage, then adding the Asura of the Ninja World from back then…"
As he spoke, Kisame awkwardly had to stop. He said in a low voice, "It seems… that won't be necessary…"
Crack…
Crack…
Wooden arms were flying through the air…
The Karasu-Tengu was frantically swinging its claws, tearing the arms of the True Several Thousand Hands off one by one…
The giant Buddha statue's attack speed was very fast!
However, every attacking arm was caught by Kitahara! With a twist of its sharp claws, it seemingly effortlessly tore off the Buddha's arms…
Kitahara casually tossed them to the ground, kicking up large clouds of dust…
"…It's actually harder than my own body?" Hashirama Senju leaped down, allowing the crow to dismantle the True Several Thousand Hands into pieces…
The God of Shinobi frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at the onlookers, choosing to call for off-field support. "Tobirama, tell me, who exactly is this enemy? Perhaps I can think of a way to deal with it…"
Tobirama Senju: "…"
This question… he would have to make something up.
The crow's identity was simple. It was the Guardian Great Sage of the Konoha Uchiha clan and also the 'honorary leader' of their pan-five-great-nations public interest organization.
It was an internal matter. If he said that, his older brother would probably immediately raise his hands in surrender to the crow…
And there were still Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki not far away. Those two little things were probably still naive and innocent… They should believe that brothers always stand on the same front, both in action and in thought.
The biggest trouble now was…
His older brother couldn't seem to defeat that crow…
Clearly, every step of his plan had been flawless, both in terms of manipulating people's hearts and in pushing the plan forward. Only the final result had gone wrong.
Tobirama Senju's expression was not good, but he could only suppress his anger and say, "Big brother, even you aren't certain you can defeat it?"
"Hahahaha… Tobirama, you saw it too!"
The God of Shinobi sheepishly rubbed the back of his head and pointed at the dismantled True Several Thousand Hands. "That was my strongest jutsu…"
"…"
Tobirama Senju lowered his head in thought. He needed to find a way to change the current situation. The prerequisite for brazenly betraying this trash organization was that his big brother could suppress the crow.
But if his big brother couldn't defeat Kitahara…
The great strategist Tobirama said indifferently, "It's the fourth Great Sage of the ninja world. Currently, it's considered the leader of our organization, I suppose…"
"…What organization? Do I need to join?"
Hashirama Senju was stunned for a moment. Since we're on the same side, little brother, why were you trying to trick me? You kept giving me warnings, making me think it was a life-or-death enemy.
Tobirama Senju didn't want to explain further. "Anyway, it's a trash organization that's about to be disbanded. You don't need to worry about it, big brother… I'll teach you the jutsu to release the Edo Tensei…"
Fine, he would just let his big brother release the Edo Tensei and ascend to the heavens! If he can't even defeat a crow, there's no use for him to stay in the world of the living!
"No, I can't leave just like this." Hashirama shook his head, rejecting his brother's kind offer. "Madara is still in this world…"
"…You don't need to worry about that, big brother…"
Tobirama Senju shook his head firmly. He pointed at Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki not far away. "I'll have the people in the organization deal with Madara Uchiha soon…"
Itachi Uchiha: "…"
Kisame Hoshigaki: "…"
What the hell!
Are you pretending your attempt to betray the organization just now didn't happen? Are you using us as tools?
