At this moment, the Yang Nine Tails' mood could be described as a mix of shock and anger.
As a product of materialized Chakra, it had sensed the existence of its other half the moment the Yin Nine Tails returned to the real world.
Logically, it should now be a more advanced Wood Clone, capable of multitasking and sharing vision with its other half.
However, while the Yang Nine Tails could sense the Yin Nine Tails' presence, it couldn't share vision or connect its consciousness.
This meant that its other half's Chakra wasn't unconscious, but rather its consciousness was being controlled.
The Yang Nine Tails subconsciously recalled the masked man who had controlled it to destroy Konoha over a decade ago.
That person possessed the ability to summon it.
And in the entire Shinobi World, besides the deceased Sage of Six Paths, only one other person could summon it.
"Madara?"
The Yang Nine Tails laid back down, scoffing, "So, that guy really didn't die in that battle. But the fact that he didn't let my consciousness return means his body is failing. Too bad I couldn't mock him."
The Yang Nine Tails felt a mix of schadenfreude and regret.
However, its eyes soon filled with gravity as it recalled the information it had obtained through this kid's body.
"The old man's eyes have appeared again. That guy who controls the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path will make a move on us sooner or later. Should I remind those guys?" The Yang Nine Tails hesitated for only a few seconds before haughtily saying, "Hmph, this matter has already spread throughout the Shinobi World. They haven't contacted me proactively, so why should I contact them? If I contact them, that Shukaku guy will definitely mock me."
Thinking of Shukaku's annoying face, the Yang Nine Tails became even more determined not to contact the other Tailed Beasts.
"Speaking of the Tenseigan, what is that thing? Does the old man have brothers? Why don't I have any memory of them?" The Yang Nine Tails muttered in confusion, then dismissed it again, closing its eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, in the Water Country, Izayoi also created a summoning contract, controlling the Yin Nine Tails to sign it.
With the Tenseigan's Spiritual Sphere and the Yin-Yang Release Black Rods, even if Uchiha Obito discovered the Nine Tails and possessed the ability to summon it, he wouldn't be able to snatch control of the Nine Tails from Izayoi.
After completing these tasks, Izayoi had Orochimaru release Minato Namikaze's Impure World Reincarnation, then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to send him back to the base.
Immediately afterward, Izayoi returned to the Water Country, bringing the Yin Nine Tails and teleporting to a cave filled with formations.
This cave was also located on a small Island far from the Shinobi World.
Upon closer inspection, the walls of the cave were made of wood.
Calling it a cave was more like a Wood Release-made prison.
On a platform, there was also a Wood Clone in Sage Mode, releasing Wood Release Chakra to sense the surroundings.
After entrusting the Yin Nine Tails to the Wood Clone's care, Izayoi finally dispelled the Wood Transformation and teleported back home.
"Sage Mode, the unexpectedly obtained Sage Body, the left eye Kamui, and the crucial Yin Nine Tails are all in hand. Next, I can increase the firepower. Then we'll see who's better prepared!" Izayoi grinned.
Admittedly, Nagato's return to his prime had made Izayoi feel a slight pressure.
This butterfly effect had brought a series of changes.
Nagato had obtained the Tobi Armor, and his mind had become sharper. He had learned Uchiha Obito's true identity from Izayoi, completely seizing the initiative. Then, he had used Hyde's Gelel Stone to restore his vitality and mastered Sage Mode.
Apart from not having a complete Susanoo and not being able to use Attraction to pull down a Heavenly Obstacle Shaking Star, Nagato's current strength was no weaker than Impure World Reincarnation Madara, because he had Sage Mode.
Once he put on the Tobi Armor and could use the Wood Human Technique, Nagato's strength would even surpass Impure World Reincarnation Madara.
With such strength, a better mind, and the assistance of Uchiha Obito's Kamui and Black and White Zetsu's Mayfly Technique, Izayoi didn't believe Nagato hadn't prepared for the inevitable second round.
Although he didn't know what Nagato's preparations were, as long as he had Kamui in hand, Izayoi could seize the initiative.
Before the final battle arrived, Izayoi only needed to do one thing.
That was... farm points!
The Konoha Crush plan, the Amegakure incident, and the battles between the Akatsuki and the Hidden Cloud Village forces had all yielded significant gains for Izayoi.
However, these gains were not enough to make Izayoi's point savings soar to as much as 410,000.
Izayoi hadn't been idle during this time. He had been having the Wood Clone control Human Puppets to hunt down lone powerhouses in the Shinobi World.
Just as he had told Orochimaru, the Wood Clone was keeping an eye on those with some strength in the Shinobi World.
As long as he seized the opportunity, the Wood Clone would use the Heavenly Transfer Technique to airdrop the Human Puppets, defeating or killing the target.
Izayoi had already figured out the cooldown time for Perks.
Perks below purple had a cooldown time of less than a year, some faster and some slower.
The cooldown time for purple Perks was exactly one year.
As for golden Perks, Izayoi hadn't gotten any yet, so he didn't know.
However, the cooldown time for red Perks was two years.
Uchiha Sasuke and Hinata's Perks were exactly two years, not a second faster or slower.
Before he had the Yin Nine Tails, Izayoi had avoided overusing his main body's Chakra to prevent being noticed and suspected. He could only act discreetly, hunting lone wolves or Hidden from the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
After all, he had already done two experiments, and the Human Puppet army was no match for a large Shinobi Village.
But now, the Wood Clone had the Yin Nine Tails, a nuclear power plant-level battery. Those Human Puppets with Yin-Yang Release Black Rods were equivalent to having infinite Chakra. No matter how big a commotion they caused, it wouldn't affect Izayoi's main body.
"Now I can do whatever I want!"
Izayoi showed a Homelander-like expression, muttering, "Hunting time... has begun!"
Thus, the Shinobi World, which had been peaceful for exactly half a year, began to stir again.
...
"Orochimaru-sama, are you alright? Orochimaru-sama..."
In Kabuto Yakushi's calls, Orochimaru gradually regained consciousness.
Looking at Kabuto Yakushi in front of him, Orochimaru, who had not completely recovered, murmured, "Kabuto, did you die too?"
"Orochimaru-sama, what are you talking about?" Kabuto Yakushi looked puzzled. "I just buried Guren and came back to see you standing here in a daze. What happened?"
Hearing this, Orochimaru instantly sobered up, looked around, and looked at the familiar hall, his face filled with joy, "I didn't die?"
Looking at the extremely comical Orochimaru, Kabuto Yakushi's expression was serious, "Orochimaru-sama, has the Akatsuki come looking for you again?"
"It's not the Akatsuki, but an even more dangerous guy." Orochimaru regained his composure, recalling the means by which Toneri Otsutsuki easily killed him, his eyes filled with shock, "He clearly drained my Chakra in an instant, even my body energy and spiritual energy were sucked dry. Why has my Chakra recovered after such a short time? Could it be that those scenes were just illusions? No, that feeling was very real, definitely not an illusion. What was that green Spiritual Sphere? Why did I lose consciousness?"
Unable to figure it out, Orochimaru couldn't help but say to Kabuto Yakushi, "Kabuto, help me do a physical examination."
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto Yakushi nodded respectfully.
Just as the two were about to head to the laboratory, Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi seemed to sense something, and their expressions changed drastically.
The two exchanged a glance and quickly used Body Flicker Technique to leave the base.
As soon as they came out, they saw four red transparent walls rising to the highest point, and then the fifth wall completed the seal.
"Four Red Yang Formation!" Orochimaru uttered the name of the technique with an ugly face.
Kabuto Yakushi's eyes trembled, "This barrier, is it the legendary Four Red Yang Formation that requires four powerhouses with Kage-level Chakra to cast?"
Last time, Pain also used this technique to trap the base, but due to Izayoi, Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi were unable to see this barrier.
Now, witnessing it with his own eyes, Kabuto Yakushi realized the difference between the Four Violet Flames Formation and the Four Red Yang Formation.
"What virtues and abilities do we have to require four Kage-level powerhouses to cast a spell to trap us?" Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At this moment, two figures appeared in the air without warning and landed on the ground a dozen meters in front of Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi.
As a legendary ninja who had experienced two Shinobi World Wars, Orochimaru was no stranger to this technique either, and said in a deep voice, "Heavenly Transfer Technique!"
"These Black Rods, are they the Six Paths of Pain of the Akatsuki?"
Looking at the two figures in front of him, covered in Black Rods, Kabuto Yakushi first thought they were the Pain of the Akatsuki, but after seeing their eyes clearly, a beam of white light flashed through his mind, and his eyes widened, "No, they are Human Puppets!"
Orochimaru took a deep breath, looked at the Human Puppets made from the corpses of two Cloud Ninja, and said, "Toneri-kakka, a strong person should have the demeanor of a strong person. If you just want to take my life, you can take it at any time, there's no need to play with us like this."
"Our strength is equal to yours. Win against me, you can live; lose to me, it depends on my mood." The Human Puppet took out a short blade, covered it with Lightning Release nature transformation, and said indifferently.
Immediately, the two Human Puppets rushed towards Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi.
The battle between Kage-level and ace combat power instantly broke out.
...
Water Country, the Mizukage Building in Hidden Mist Village.
Mei Terumi, who was handling affairs on behalf of Genshi, as well as the Anbu and Mist Ninja in the building, seemed to sense something, and their expressions changed drastically.
Mei Terumi got up and came to the window, just in time to see the red transparent barrier rising into the air, surrounding the Mizukage Building from the four directions of southeast, northwest.
Using Body Flicker Technique, the barrier had already completed the seal.
"This is... Four Red Yang Formation!" Mei Terumi's face was ugly, and her beautiful eyes were filled with fear.
A mere A-rank barrier technique, not even an S-rank esoteric ninjutsu, should not be panicked.
However, the Hidden Mist Village, which had completed a transaction with Konoha half a year ago, knew the conditions for casting this barrier technique.
It must have four Kage-level powerhouses to create this level of barrier.
In other words, there are four Kage-level powerhouses who have invaded the Hidden Mist Village.
And they are only used to trap the Mizukage Building, then what level of powerhouse is the person who is taking action?
"Mei Terumi-sama, the people casting the spell are four Human Puppets."
Ao's figure appeared next to Mei Terumi, and quickly reported, "I saw that their bodies were inserted with a large number of Black Rods that can conduct Chakra, which are very similar to the Rinnegan Puppets of the Akatsuki leader, but their eyes are not Rinnegan."
"How many unfamiliar powerhouses are inside the barrier?" Mei Terumi quickly asked.
"None, they are all our people." Ao said.
Mei Terumi's expression suddenly became solemn, "In other words, the enemy will appear in the form of space-time ninjutsu? Toneri... Otsutsuki!"
As if responding to Mei Terumi, hundreds of figures appeared in the air without warning and landed steadily.
Wearing the unified white robes of the Otsutsuki Clan, the Human Puppet army, whose faces and skin outside their clothes could see Black Rods and Black Nails, was reflected in the eyes of Mei Terumi and others.
These Human Puppets also wore different rogue ninja headbands on their foreheads.
There are ninjas from Konoha, Sunagakure, Hidden Cloud Village, as well as Hidden Sound Village and Grass Ninja Village and other small ninja villages...
Looking at these Human Puppets, Ao seemed to have discovered something, and cold sweat dripped down, "Their Chakra is all at the same level as the Human Puppets maintaining the barrier!"
Hearing this, Mei Terumi and the Anbu who had gathered together suddenly changed their expressions.
Before they could speak, the Human Puppet army stormed over.
Ao's other eye couldn't help but flash a hint of doubt, but he didn't have time to open his mouth to remind them.
Clearly, their Chakra was at the Five Kage level, so why had it suddenly decreased so drastically?
Could it be that the scene just now was an illusion created by those transmitters?
Soon, a great battle erupted outside the Mizukage Building.
Unsurprisingly, the Mizukage Building would also be reduced to ruins after this battle.
Like the Hidden Mist Village, there was also the Kazekage Building in Sunagakure, the Tsuchikage Building in Iwagakure, the Raikage Building in the newly established Hidden Cloud Village that was less than three months old, and the Hokage Building in Konoha.
"Damn bastard, the Book of Sealing was indeed stolen by him!"
Looking at the Human Puppet army that appeared using the Heavenly Transfer Technique, the Fourth Raikage cursed loudly.
But the next second, his eyes widened.
He saw a Human Puppet made from Hidden Cloud ninja corpses, but with very fair skin, whose entire body was covered in blue and white electricity.
This was actually... Lightning Release Chakra Mode!
Before long, a black and white war broke out outside the Raikage Building.
At the same time, Kumorai Gorge, right next to the new Hidden Cloud Village, was also surrounded by the Four Red Yang Formation. Torune Aburame's figure appeared out of thin air, and then he used the Shadow Clone Technique to create four Shadow Clones, who all formed hand seals, spitting out different colored Chakra flames, merging to form a colorful energy ball, blooming with dazzling flames, and setting off a deafening explosion.
Five Release... Great Consecutive Shots Technique!
The towering mountain instantly turned into dust.
Dense dust and mist rose up.
"Roar..."
The roar of a beast dispersed the dust and mist, and the fully Tailed Beast transformed Eight Tails made a violent appearance.
