Chapter 51 Shadow Clone: Is the Original Body Playing This Big?!
"Hey? Don't rush off yet."
White Zetsu swayed and said with a grin, "I came here specifically to tell you, the Yellow Flash of Konoha is about to converge here~"
He paused, his tone becoming slightly more serious, but still carrying a hint of humor at the end: "Furthermore, Lord Madara just issued new orders, instructing us to keep a close eye on Nohara Rin and Hatake Kakashi..."
"The plan targeting Obito is about to officially begin~"
Yellow flash?
Black Zetsu pondered for a moment, then quickly put it out of his mind.
None of this matters anymore.
What's really important now is...
The plan is finally about to begin.
He had to find a subtle way to warn Madara that an extremely dangerous individual had appeared in the ninja world, someone who could hinder the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Given Madara's arrogance, he absolutely would not allow any changes to the Eye of the Moon plan.
The best outcome would be for Madara to personally eliminate that guy.
Even if it meant dying in his old age, he wouldn't hesitate.
Everything else will be personally handled by Black Zetsu.
Once all the tailed beasts have been collected, then Nagato will revive Madara...
At that time...
"Hehehehe...hahahahaha..."
In the dark underground world, Black Zetsu's suppressed and chilling laughter echoed.
He took one last look at the distant horizon, where the smoke and dust of the battlefield were dissipating in the wind at the edge of his vision.
Swish! ! !
A burst of golden light erupted, and then five figures appeared out of thin air.
To be precise, it consisted of five ninjas who were still capable of fighting, plus a half-dead "burden" being carried around.
"Orochimaru! Hang in there, I'm coming to your aid!"
Before he had even fully landed, Jiraiya's signature loud voice had already echoed across the wasteland.
Covered in bandages and having just barely recovered from his injuries, he took the lead, full of vigor, and looked ready to fight.
However, when he actually set foot on this land and saw the terrifying scene before him that could be described as earth-shattering, the rest of his bold words were stuck in his throat.
"This is……"
A vast, bottomless basin, as wide as a meteorite crater, stretched out before them, its scorched earth still emitting scorching white smoke.
Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, and Dekaichi and Arashi Uchiha following behind Minato.
Adding to the silence, Hyuga Seiran, who was carrying Hiruko with one hand as if she were a chick, fell into a deathly stillness at almost the same time.
"Is the main body really going to go this far?"
The shadow clone Qinglan opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief.
Everything went very smoothly for him, even more smoothly than expected.
Hiruko ambushed Hyuga clan ninjas on the Iwagakure battlefield and stole the Byakugan. Hyuga Seiran pursued and engaged in a fierce battle with him.
The commotion attracted the attention of Jiraiya and his squad, who joined forces to cripple Hiruko.
Just as Hiruko was about to escape, Minato Namikaze, who had recovered most of his strength, was sent by Hiruzen Sarutobi to aid Orochimaru.
Minato then used a sealing technique to stop Hiruko's attempt to escape using a reverse summoning technique.
In the end, the group, carrying the crippled Hiruko, pursued Orochimaru all the way to his aid.
Everything went even more smoothly than he had imagined.
But Qinglan, the shadow clone, never expected this...
On the other hand, the person in question is playing an even bigger game than him.
This deep pit... was clearly created by repulsive force.
The repulsive force of the Reincarnation Eye.
"Jiraiya-sensei...we should go find Orochimaru-sama first..." Minato Namikaze also snapped out of his daze after a moment of distraction.
"right!"
Reminded by Minato, Jiraiya realized, "First, find Orochimaru..."
"Bang!"
In the suffocating silence, a huge plume of white smoke suddenly rose from the edge of the pit.
Immediately afterwards, shouts of relief and fervor, mixed with the joy of surviving a disaster, emanated from the smoke.
"Lord Orochimaru has saved us again!"
"It's Lord Orochimaru's summoning beast!"
A gentle breeze swept by, and the smoke quickly dissipated, revealing several enormous snakes, each as large as a mountain.
But at this moment, they were charred black and mangled, lying dead on the spot.
Within the gaping maws of those giant snakes, members of the Konoha pursuit force emerged one after another, supporting each other.
Although they were covered in dust and looked disheveled, their eyes were filled with fervent worship and excitement as they gazed at the pale man standing at the front.
But when these survivors turned around and saw the enormous, seemingly all-consuming pit beneath their feet, almost all of them gasped in shock.
"This...is this the power of Ao?"
Is the power of the Tenseigan really that strong?
Hiashi Hyuga stood there, stunned, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Suddenly, a violent shout abruptly pulled everyone back to reality.
"Where's the Third Tsuchikage?! Where did that damned old bastard Onoki hide?!"
Uchiha Setsuna, leading a group of elderly but murderous Uchiha clan members, strode out from the crowd.
Despite their injuries and disheveled state, their crimson Sharingan eyes, spinning wildly, burned with extreme rage towards Onoki.
Orochimaru, whose attention was not on the Third Tsuchikage at all, had his eyes fixed on the deep pit.
The power of the Tenseigan has actually reached this level...
So, what about the Rinnegan?
This is really something to look forward to...
Various thoughts flashed through Orochimaru's mind, but right now, stabilizing morale was the most important thing.
The aura of green had disappeared, indicating that the attack had indeed consumed a great deal of energy.
"Everyone, there is no need to panic."
Orochimaru spoke at the opportune moment. His hoarse, deep, yet penetrating voice instantly spread across the turbulent battlefield, giving everyone a much-needed boost of morale.
"That guy's chakra is almost depleted. That attack just now was nothing more than a bluff to save his life and escape. Now..."
A cold smile appeared on his pale face. "Everyone, spread out and search for Qing's whereabouts, as well as the remaining Iwagakure troops!"
Hearing the coach's confident judgment, everyone suddenly realized what was happening.
They suppressed their lingering fear and quickly regained their composure and calmness as Konoha's elite.
Orochimaru methodically assigned the search and capture mission.
At the same time, dozens of tiny tongue snakes slithered out from his wide sleeves, darting swiftly between the scorched frozen earth and ruins, sniffing out the remaining scent of the Iwagakure ninja.
After arranging everything, Orochimaru turned slightly to the side.
"I never expected... that Minato-kun would come to my aid..."
Orochimaru looked with great interest at Hiruko, who was half-dead in Hyuga Aoran's hands.
"So, there are old classmates here too..."
