While the front lines were bustling with activity, the support troops in the rear were not idle.
The Sensory Unit coordinated with Uchiha En for personnel deployment, while the Medical Squad was responsible for rescue in the rear.
With the help of the Yamanaka Clan-led Sensory Unit, Uchiha En had a clear understanding of the battle situation without leaving his location.
However, he did not appear on the battlefield because Uchiha En was waiting for Takegami Ōtsutsuki to appear. A large part of why he started this war was to capture Takegami Ōtsutsuki.
Even paying some price was acceptable to capture Takegami Ōtsutsuki.
Besides the Sensory Unit, there was also a Medical Unit in the rear.
Originally, the Medical Unit's position was quite concealed, but nothing could escape the White Zetsu's perception.
A small group of White Zetsu brazenly walked to the rear where the Medical Ninja were using Transformation Jutsu, then pretended to be injured and were carried into the operating room.
While the Medical Ninja were operating on the White Zetsu disguised as injured, the White Zetsu suddenly launched a sneak attack on the Medical Ninja, resulting in dozens of Medical Ninja being injured and over a dozen directly killed.
What surprised everyone even more was that after killing the Medical Ninja, these White Zetsu immediately transformed into other appearances, making it impossible for the Medical Unit to find them for a while.
This situation instantly paralyzed the Medical Squad. The Medical Ninja didn't dare to approach and treat the Shinobi Allied Forces' injured, who were mixed with White Zetsu.
This situation wasn't unique to the Medical Squad; behind Minato Namikaze's team, two identical people were seen fighting, and neither the Byakugan nor the Sharingan could distinguish between the real and the fake.
Slightly better was the battlefield where Shisui and Jiraiya were located.
On Shisui's side, he had instantly killed thousands of White Zetsu with his Susanoo, greatly reducing the size of the White Zetsu army. Although some White Zetsu did infiltrate the rear, there were only a dozen or so, and the Fifth Raikage directly intervened to control these people and White Zetsu.
As for Jiraiya's side, there were no White Zetsu at all. They faced only the four Kage and the newly appeared Edo Tensei army composed of Chunin and Genin.
These cannon fodder were summoned by Yakushi Kabuto when he was searching for powerful individuals. They basically had no combat ability. Yakushi Kabuto merely gave them the task of supporting the four Kage and then ignored their actions.
The arrival of the cannon fodder caused some trouble for the Shinobi Allied Forces. These individuals' consciousnesses were not bound, and many of them were still friends with members of the Shinobi Allied Forces. Although no battle erupted, the Shinobi Allied Forces were still held up.
On the other side, Gaara, his father, and Kurotsuchi teamed up and finally sealed Mu and Hōzuki Gengetsu.
Without Naruto's help as in the original work, it took them a lot of effort to seal Mu, but this time Mu didn't have the chance to create clones and escape; he was thoroughly sealed.
Meanwhile, on Shisui's battlefield, the Edo Tensei powerful individuals were mostly sealed, leaving only the Gold and Silver Brothers and Uchiha Kagami within the White Zetsu army.
The Fifth Raikage, Darui, went to handle the Gold and Silver Brothers. Shisui originally wanted to help, but was stopped by the Fifth Raikage.
The Fifth Raikage believed that the Gold and Silver Brothers were the murderers of the Second Raikage and rogue Ninja of Kumogakure, which is why the Fifth Raikage decided to deal with them personally.
The Six Paths Sage tools held by the Gold and Silver Brothers were useless to the Fifth Raikage. These items originally belonged to Kumogakure, and the Fifth Raikage was very familiar with their characteristics. With his guidance, these Ninja tools basically lost their effectiveness.
The Gold and Silver Brothers, infuriated, used Nine-Tails Chakra to enter the second stage of Tailed Beast Transformation.
The Fifth Raikage snorted upon seeing this. Without the Fourth Raikage, his growth speed was much faster than in the original work. Now, he could stand on his own.
Darui's Lightning Release Chakra erupted, and he sent Kinkaku flying with a single punch.
At the same time, Darui did not directly confront Ginkaku. Like in the original work, he used a trick to seal Ginkaku within the Six Paths Sage's Ninja tool.
The Fifth Raikage easily defeated Ginkaku, which made all the Ninja present incredibly excited.
Just as everyone's attention was focused on this battle, in the Akatsuki Organization's base, a White Zetsu emerged from the ground and said to Obito, "Obito, according to my clone's report, they found someone with Nine-Tails Chakra."
"Where?" Obito asked quickly.
"On the battlefield where the Fifth Raikage and Uchiha Shisui are, it's the Gold and Silver Brothers who were Edo Tensei'd."
"The Gold and Silver Brothers? I heard they were once swallowed by the Nine-Tails and ate the Nine-Tails' Chakra from its belly to survive. It seems it was true."
"Obito, should we notify them to come back?"
"No need, I'll go get it myself!" With that, Obito entered the Kamui dimension. Upon seeing this, Nagato formed hand seals, and the Gedo Statue also disappeared.
On the battlefield, the battle between the Fifth Raikage and Kinkaku had already been decided. Although Kinkaku had absorbed some of the Nine-Tails' Chakra, it was only a small portion.
While in Tailed Beast Transformation, the Fifth Raikage was no match for Kinkaku, but the transformation didn't last long. Once it was released, Kinkaku was brutally beaten by the Fifth Raikage and then sealed along with Ginkaku into the Six Paths Sage's Ninja tools.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a giant humanoid monster suddenly appeared behind the Fifth Raikage. The Shinobi Allied Forces quickly shouted warnings, but it was too late. The Six Paths Sage Ninja tool in the Fifth Raikage's hand was snatched by the Gedo Statue, and he himself was sent flying by the Gedo Statue.
Shisui, seeing this, immediately teleported to catch the Fifth Raikage.
"Darui, are you alright?"
"Hmm. I'm fine, but the Six Paths Sage's Ninja tools were snatched by that monster."
"That thing must be the Gedo Statue, which can contain Tailed Beasts. Darui, you rest here for a bit, I'll go check it out."
After speaking, Obito activated his Mangekyo, and a green giant appeared on the battlefield. The giant ran towards the Gedo Statue.
Originally, Obito had planned to leave after obtaining the item that sealed the Gold and Silver Brothers, but through the Gedo Statue's vision, Obito saw Shisui's Fourth Stage Susanoo.
Obito instantly changed his mind. He also wanted to know how strong the Uchiha Clan's ultimate Dojutsu, the Perfect Susanoo, truly was.
With that thought, Obito controlled the Gedo Statue to attack Shisui's Susanoo, and Shisui manipulated his Susanoo to move.
The Gedo Statue's fist and the Susanoo's fist collided, and the immense force of the two monsters crashing together created a huge wave on the sea.
Then, both sides simultaneously extended their other hand, and their fists collided again.
