"Alright, enough of that."
Kakuzu shook his head, glanced at Sasori, who had been gloomy and silent since returning from Sunagakure and also Itachi, who seemed to have fallen into self-isolation and hadn't spoken much.
He said, "Let's begin the operation. Our mission is just to hold off the people outside and prevent them from reinforcing..."
"The rest is up to their own performance."
...
Deidara looked at the blaring alarm and couldn't help but purse his lips.
"Seriously, someone's already causing trouble before it even started?"
"The Chunin Exams at least had a few rounds, is this progress or regression?"
"And they have quite a few people." Mei glanced at Ao behind her, and after confirming some things, she immediately warned.
"Many Edo Tensei Ninja have arrived outside, and there are also three people attacking inside the building, these three don't seem simple."
"Three people? Interesting."
Takemi leaned back in his chair, thought for a moment, and said, "But this is good too. Let's deal with them first, then we can talk slowly. It's better than the Chunin Exams, where we'd have to retake it."
Takemi didn't feel surprised by this Akatsuki attack at all. In the anime, Obito had done similar things before. Now, he didn't know the reason. But perhaps it was under the inspiration of 'Otsutsuki Rin' to constantly fight to release the 'Karma', or he had some other ideas. In any case, it wasn't surprising what this guy would do.
'And those guys are coming too, it just couldn't be better...'
Takemi chuckled inwardly, he couldn't be more excited about the performance of these Ōtsutsuki.
"What now?"
Deidara stood up, cracking his neck with an excited look on his face, he wished the Akatsuki would die.
"Exactly, this is the Land of Fire, we'll listen to you." Mei also stood up, a smile on her face.
"Although they're just a bunch of immortal guys, I haven't forgotten what they did to the Land of Water."
"Since everyone is so enthusiastic..."
Takemi stood up, he scanned everyone present, and finally spoke slowly.
"Then let's go give them a good lesson."
Inside the building of the Three Kage Summit, Nagato and Kimimaro constantly flickered among the numerous ninjas.
The ninjas remaining here were either elites or Anbu, but in the hands of these two, they could barely last a few moves.
After all, Nagato was almost in his 'perfect' state now, and Kimimaro felt an endless surge of power within his body. The more he fought, the more he felt his power constantly expanding.
"It seems your Karma is performing well."
In the consciousness space constructed by the Chakra link, Isshiki said as he watched everything happening outside.
"Excellent physical quality, and even the Byakugan, your luck is very good."
"Indeed, not bad."
Urashiki nodded, but still maintained his distance, even secretly glancing at Isshiki.
'As expected, full of lies, and he said he had endured a thousand years in the Ninja World, yet he didn't discover such a good seedling. Who are you trying to fool.'
Isshiki didn't know what Urashiki was thinking. Looking at Obito, who was fighting leisurely, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
'What a huge loss, to actually possess such an idiot. If you don't fight seriously, how can you accelerate the release of Karma and become stronger?!'
Isshiki was already somewhat despairing about Obito. He even regretted why he didn't choose that guy named Nagato back then. Of course, if he had to do it again, he probably wouldn't choose Nagato either.
After all, this guy was thinking of causing trouble for that madman, Takeshiki.
"By the way, how much longer until Momoshiki and Kinshiki arrive?" Although he was annoyed, Isshiki still asked.
"It's been too quiet lately, something isn't quite right."
"I don't know either, they're probably coming soon."
Urashiki shook his head, he was actually very confused, and he was the one who most hoped these two guys would come.
'Once you two arrive, I'll truly be safe.'
These two Ōtsutsuki were observing the battle, and Obito was also in a semi-observational state.
After suffering so many 'Heavenly Judgements', he was now habitually keeping himself in the Kamui Dimension at all times. He was afraid that some attack would suddenly appear from nowhere and blast him entirely.
"Not bad, these two guys."
Obito looked at Nagato and Kimimaro, who were constantly attacking, and frowned.
"Especially this Kimimaro, why does he feel a bit off, and there's a familiar feeling?"
Obito felt a bit strange, but he had no time to think too much, because he suddenly noticed that his Kamui was being affected.
"Hmm?"
He raised an eyebrow, and immediately, as if realizing something, he instantly turned his head to look to the side.
Zzzzzzz—
The sound of Chidori constantly echoed in his ears, and he instantly knew who had arrived.
"Kakashi!"
Obito roared, and in an instant, he sharply turned around, and Susanoo also appeared on him.
"Still my power, but do you really think I'm the same as before?!"
Clang!
Chidori instantly pierced the Susanoo on him, but this time, Chidori couldn't penetrate his body at all.
Obito looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared in front of him, a cold sneer on his lips.
"I never thought you'd be here too, this is great..."
Obito now wouldn't put Kakashi in his eyes. He had once been beaten to agony by Kakashi. But now, under the encouragement of 'Rin', he had made a qualitative leap, he was no longer his former self.
However...
As Obito's peripheral vision swept over the ninjas constantly approaching, he suddenly froze.
His exposed Sharingan seemed to be engorged with blood at this moment, and he looked at the figure in the distance who was staring at him in disbelief.
His body suddenly began to tremble, and his mouth couldn't help but start murmuring in a low voice.
"Impossible... How is this possible?!"
However, at this moment, a soft voice, as if it had been haunting his dreams, rang out.
"You are... Obito?"
"..."
