Chapter 273 - The Crisis at Allied Headquarters Resolved

[Ōnoki: Sigh… I didn't expect the First Tsuchikage to lose.]

[Gengetsu Hōzuki: What, kid? Were you hoping he'd win?]

[Ōnoki: Not really. It's just that even the Third Tsuchikage ended up losing to Susanoo.]

[Ishikawa: Enough. Losing to Susanoo isn't shameful. As long as your Will of Stone remains firm, that's what matters.

But… it seems your Will of Stone still needs more tempering, Ōnoki.]

[Ōnoki: Sigh… I hope I can rediscover it during the battle against Uchiha Madara.]

[First Raikage A: Hahaha! What an impressive combination technique. Losing to two Uchiha geniuses like you boys isn't unjust.]

[Shisui Uchiha: You were only careless for a moment, senior. But I'm really happy we had the chance to use "Chaotic Snow Moon Flower" together again.]

[Itachi Uchiha: Yes… Shisui. I'm happy to fight alongside you again as well.]

The Screen Continues…

At that moment, Reto suddenly shouted:

"Uchiha descendants! Activate Susanoo immediately! This technique is extremely powerful!"

Reto gathered all the chakra in his body and formed hand seals.

"Wind Release: Tornado Hurricane!"

The sky suddenly filled with dark clouds as lightning flashed across it.

The clouds began rotating violently, forming a massive black tornado infused with lightning.

Shisui and Itachi didn't dare underestimate it and instantly activated Susanoo.

Itachi pushed his Susanoo to Stage Three and raised the Yata Mirror in front.

"Shisui."

"I know."

Shisui's Susanoo placed both hands behind Itachi's Susanoo to reinforce the defense.

The terrifying tornado descended straight toward them.

Itachi timed it perfectly, using the Yata Mirror to block the tornado, while Shisui reinforced the defense with his own Susanoo.

Although they blocked the attack—

The tornado's terrifying suction force began tearing apart the Allied Headquarters.

"We can't keep this up."

"Susanoo: Yasaka no Magatama Barrage!"

Shisui opened the chest armor of his Susanoo.

From its core, countless green chakra arrows fired outward.

Under Shisui's relentless barrage and Itachi's defense, the massive tornado gradually dissipated.

After unleashing that technique, Reto's body stiffened momentarily.

Seizing the opportunity, Itachi activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Totsuka Blade!"

Itachi's Susanoo thrust the Totsuka Blade forward, piercing through Reto.

Reto sighed.

"A sealing technique… impressive, Uchiha descendant."

Moments later, he was sealed inside the gourd of the Totsuka Blade.

Sakumo vs. Byakuren

Inside the water prison, Sakumo's movements were slowed considerably.

However, relying on his incredible taijutsu and battle instincts, he gradually evaded Byakuren's attacks.

"This can't continue."

Sakumo closed his eyes.

Using the intent of his blade, he sensed Byakuren's position.

Seeing this, Black Zetsu assumed Sakumo had finally been immobilized by Water Release: Great Exploding Water Shockwave, so he ordered Byakuren to attack immediately.

"Water Release: Water Fang Blade!"

Byakuren condensed water in his hand into a rotating blade and stabbed toward Sakumo.

Yet within his mind, Byakuren mocked the one controlling him.

"Hmph. Ignorant fool… rushing forward without even sensing the danger."

Just as the water blade approached—

Sakumo suddenly opened his eyes.

A terrifying sword aura erupted from his body.

He drew his blade.

"Hatake Style: White Fang!"

In an instant—

Sakumo lunged forward at unbelievable speed.

The slash was so fast it left behind a chakra afterimage, cutting through Byakuren with a blinding strike.

After the flash—

The water sphere shattered.

Sakumo leapt out.

A massive slash wound appeared across Byakuren's body.

Byakuren burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! I told him there was danger, yet that idiot still charged in."

"Konoha's descendant—well done!"

Soon after, Byakuren was sealed away.

Somewhere in the Ninja World

CRACK!

Hearing Byakuren's mockery, Black Zetsu smashed a game piece in rage.

"Damn it! A mere human dares mock me!"

"And where did Uchiha Kagami and Shisui come from? Who exactly is the caster of this Impure World Reincarnation?"

"This can't continue… If something happens to Izuna, it will be hard to explain to Madara."

Meanwhile—

During Izuna's battle with Kagami—

Izuna suddenly froze in place.

A coffin appeared behind him.

The coffin closed over him and instantly vanished.

"Retreating?"

Seeing this, Kagami dismissed his Susanoo.

Soon after—

Another coffin appeared behind Kagami.

Kagami said calmly:

"So it's time for me to return as well."

"But I'm glad I had the chance to fight Izuna again. Thank you, caster."

"Though… it would have been better if this weren't Tobirama Senju's technique."

With that, Kagami also disappeared.

Afterward—

Fugaku, Shisui, Itachi, and Sakumo rushed to support other battlefields.

Meanwhile, Black Zetsu was completely confused.

"Wait… what happened?"

"Where's Izuna?!"

The moment the coffin vanished, he suddenly lost all connection with Izuna.

Live Chat Reactions

[Tsunade: Whew… the attack on headquarters is finally resolved.]

[Fourth Raikage A: Yeah. The Uchiha clan really is formidable.]

[Ōnoki: Indeed. If it weren't for Hiruzen, Danzō, and those other two elders… we'd have been dealing with them forever.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: ...]

Sigh… that should have been Konoha's strength.

[Danzō Shimura: ...]

Damn Uchiha.

[Homura Mitokado: ...]

[Koharu Utatane: ...]

Better stay quiet so the teacher doesn't scold us.

[Sakumo Hatake: Kakashi, you saw it, right? That is the Hatake sword style.]

[Kakashi Hatake: Yeah… I saw it.]

I understand the principle… but my current body probably can't pull that off.

[Byakuren: Hahaha! Black Zetsu, you idiot! Did you really think that water technique would immobilize him?]

[Black Zetsu: You—!!]

[Madara Uchiha: Hmph. Serves you right.]

[Black Zetsu: ...]

The Screen Continues…

Meanwhile—

Mū used his invisibility to prevent Ōnoki from acting rashly.

Ōnoki tried to determine Mū's position with clones.

But Mū was simply too fast.

Even when Ōnoki reacted—

CRACK

"Ah! My back!"

"My lower back—why now of all times?!"

Just as Mū prepared to fire Dust Release at Ōnoki—

Gaara's sand immediately interfered with the attack.

At that moment—

A shadow clone of Naruto in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode arrived to assist.

After exhausting Mū with repeated exchanges—

Gaara, Ōnoki, and Naruto's clone launched a surprise attack.

They successfully defeated Mū.

Ōnoki used:

"Earth Release: Weighted Rock Technique!"

He increased Mū's gravity, preventing him from escaping.

Gaara then used his sand to seal him.

Afterward, Gaara and Ōnoki quickly moved to support other troops.

But…

After they left—

A split body of Mū emerged from another direction.

He approached the seal and attempted to break it.

However, he couldn't decipher it.

"No choice."

"Yin–Yang Release: Release!"

Yet the sealing formula didn't change at all.

Watching from the shadows, Black Zetsu was stunned.

"What's going on? Even I can't break it?"

"Why are so many strange things happening today? Did I run into something supernatural?"

What Black Zetsu didn't know—

The sealing formula had been personally drawn by Nagi.

Its purpose was to easily confirm and identify the dead in the future.
