Deva Path Pain got up from the ground and immediately flew back toward the center of the battlefield.
"Yahiko?!"
When Jiraiya saw that familiar bright orange hair, he immediately remembered Yahiko, one of his three disciples.
Before he could even process the shock of Yahiko being part of the Akatsuki, he found that Yahiko's eyes were Nagato's Rinnegan.
His mind went blankimmediately.
"Yahiko..."
"What the hell did he do to Nagato!?"
Jiraiya turned to look for Naruto, but found that he had already charged forward.
"Damn it!"
"Today, I'm going to beat the shit out of you, you old bitch!!"
The moment Naruto saw Obito, the memories of being held in Obito's arms with 'heating pads' more than ten years ago flooded back to his mind.
That was the time Naruto had truly felt death creeping up on him.
Right now, he didn't even care about the monster Hidan had summoned. He activated Sage Mode, and also put on the Biju Chakra Cloak.
Naruto didn't even realize that there was Shukaku's Chakra mixed in his Biju Chakra Cloak.
Meanwhile, Obito still hadn't grasped the severity of the situation.
After several rounds of fighting the monster, Obito has begun to doubt his life.
Because no matter how many times he used Kamui's intangibility, the monster would always roar at the critical moment, disrupting his Chakra flow.
Because of that, all abilities are interrupted, and his intangibility cannot be used at all.
Even Nagato's Six Paths of Pain were affected.
This kind of power was simply unheard of.
"Where's the backup?!"
"You said there'd be backup!!"
Obito's mentality was in shambles as he shouted at Pain in the sky.
'Damn it!'
'I just recovered from a near-fatal injury, only to have my eyes tainted by Kakashi, and now, I'm getting stomped into the ground...'
Worst of all, aside from him and Nagato, none of the other Akatsuki's members were anywhere to be seen.
Nagato's mentality wasn't doing much better.
At first, he'd just thought the monster was tough to deal with, so he sent Konan to call for reinforcements. But after fighting for so long...
Only himself and the masked man, Uchiha Madara, were fighting.
The only thing that gave him some relief was the fact that the new recruit Ichigo, had actually brought reinforcements.
'Look at the others...'
'Do they really take their leader seriously?!'
'They're always slacking off at the worst possible moment!'
Still, Nagato knew that the new guy was no match for this monster, and if he joined the fight, he'd die for sure.
That's why he had tried to warn Ichigo to leave earlier.
"There is no backup."
"Uchiha Madara…"
"You're not as impressive as I thought."
Pain glanced at Obito, who had been getting beaten to a pulp and spitting blood, with a tone full of disdain. After that, he ignored this guy and rushed to the battlefield again.
Obito, who was suddenly questioned by Nagato, fell silent.
"Damn it!!"
"He must've figured something out!"
Obito clenched his fists and cursed in a low voice. Just then, Naruto appeared behind him, and swung the heavy Black Coffin straight at Obito's shoulder.
Obito, sensing the danger, subconsciously wanted to activate his Kamui's intangibility again, but a familiar roar came to his ears again.
"Roar…"
The monster's scream caused the Chakra in everyone's body to stagnate for a moment, and Jiraiya and the others in the back immediately coughed up blood.
"Cough…"
"What the hell was that?"
Orochimaru wiped the blood from his mouth, and there was a little fear in his eyes.
After all, they are still a distance away from the center of the battlefield, but even so, they were still affected.
And for a moment, he couldn't even feel his own Chakra...
It was like Orochimaru had returned to the days when he was still a powerless child, before becoming a Shinobi.
"It disrupts Chakra…?"
"This is bad… really bad…"
Jiraiya's usual carefree expression was gone, and his expression became extremely serious. He glanced at Sasuke, who was in a better shape, and was suddenly stunned.
"Wait!!"
"Where's Naruto!?"
"He charged in."
Sasuke pulled the Heavy Xuan Ruler from his back and opened his eyes, revealing the pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, and then turned his head to look at the two old Shinobi.
Sszztt…
Then, with a crackle of lightning, Sasuke's figure shot forward in the direction Naruto had disappeared.
However, because Naruto wanted to attack Obito, he had already restrained his presence and changed his position.
So the direction Sasuke rushed to was the direction of White Zetsu, who was observing the battlefield...
"Those eyes!?"
Jiraiya's jaw dropped and he turned his head to look at Orochimaru in shock.
'Damn!'
'Why is it another monster?!'
'Those patterned Sharingan were said to belong only to Uchiha Madara in legends?!'
"Heh heh heh…"
"As expected of Sasuke-kun."
Orochimaru licked his lips excitedly, barely containing his exhilaration. He couldn't wait to figure out how Sasuke had evolved his three-tomoe Sharingan into its current form.
After marveling at Sasuke, Orochimaru formed hand seals and slammed his palm onto the ground.
"Summoning Technique!"
Bang…
Amidst the smoke, Manda's massive form appeared. The moment he was summoned, the giant snake immediately started demanding his price.
"Orochimaru!"
"Remember to give me a thousand sacrifices this time!"
Orochimaru nodded and pretended to agree, then jumped onto Manda's head, and turned his head to look at Jiraiya, who was still in a daze.
"Idiot."
"Are you just going to stand there and wait to die?"
After saying that, Orochimaru urged Manda forward, charging toward Sasuke's direction.
After Jiraiya snapped out of his daze, he also used his Summoning Technique to call out Gamabunta. When the old toad came out, he was grumbling something incomprehensible...
"Naruto..."
"Who are you going to train this time?"
Jiraiya: "…"
…
On the other side of the battlefield, Obito's body went flying, crashing through countless trees along the way.
Naruto was on the other side, holding the Black Coffin with one hand and panting heavily.
"Pah!"
"What the hell?"
"That monster actually has Silence Skill??"
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Naruto finally realized something was wrong with the monster's roar.
Earlier, when he was hit directly by the roar, his head was buzzing, his orifices were shocked and bleeding, and he didn't even notice the stasis of Chakra in his body.
However, compared to the last time, Naruto felt like he had adapted a lot.
Just now, when he appeared behind Obito, the man had briefly activated Kamui's intangibility before coughing up blood and canceling it.
Meanwhile, Naruto's Sage Mode and Biju Chakra Cloak had been forcibly dispelled. So he gritted his teeth and swung out the Black Coffin completely by relying purely on his monstrous physical strength.
As a result, Obito screamed and flew backwards, while Naruto's Ichigo disguise was canceled and his true appearance was revealed.
The moment Obito was sent flying, his pupils shrank to pinpricks at the sight of the yellow hair.
He didn't even have time to say a word before the scenery around him blurred...
'WHAT THE…?!'
'That Kurosaki Ichigo was actually Uzumaki Naruto in disguise???'
Realizing that the Kyubi's Jinchuuriki had actually joined the Akatsuki right under Nagato's nose, Obito's mentality collapsed even more.
'DAMN IT!!'
'What the hell has Nagato been doing?!'
Boom…
After flying a considerable distance, Obito finally crashed stopped after crashing into another tree.
"Pfft!"
Obito knelt on his knees, and the blood in his mouth spurted out like it was going out of style, some from the injuries, some purely from sheer frustration...
Fortunately, Black Zetsu arrived with a squad of White Zetsu in tow.
"Obito! Let's go!"
"You can't die here yet!"
Seeing that Obito was dying, Black Zetsu immediately latched onto him and helped Obito use his Mangekyo to escape into the Kamui Dimension.
