Chapter 163 The Fourth Shinobi World War Begins
Chapter 163 The Fourth Shinobi World War Begins
Naruko showed great patience in her plan to hunt the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails, waiting for Yugito and Killer Bee to appear at the same time.
One day, two days, three days...
At this time, the four Kage were obsessed with capturing the Otsutsuki, and Naruto did a good job. Apart from Gaara's departure attracting attention, there were no other surprises.
As the days went by, Orochimaru finally got his wish and started his Rinnegan factory. Eighteen Otsutsuki were in the basement, rhythmically gouging out eyes, bleeding them, and regenerating them every day.
Moreover, they were constantly sending messages to other Otsutsuki, just to try and get that temporary anesthetic to relieve their pain.
Orochimaru was calculating that two more Otsutsuki were about to arrive, one named Momoshiki and the other Kinshiki.
According to Urashiki, Momoshiki's status was not low; apart from himself, Momoshiki was the highest-ranking member of his entire Otsutsuki assembly line.
In other words... the Rinnegan is of better quality.
"It seems... it's time to put the Rinnegan army on the agenda."
Orochimaru knew that ordinary people's chakra couldn't power the Rinnegan, but... what if she could make ordinary people stably maintain Sage Mode?
Jiraiya made his name by relying on the stats of Sage Mode.
Yet he was able to mass-produce what he was so proud of, and even do it better—that's the power of science.
As the four Kage were counting their money and looking at the Rinnegan in front of them, a message suddenly came from Kumogakure. A, who was originally happy, immediately turned ugly after learning the whole story.
"What's wrong, Raikage?" Shisui had never seen Ai with such an expression before and wondered what serious matter had happened.
"Naruko Namikaze... She broke into Kumogakure, kidnapped the Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yugito, and almost kidnapped my sister Bee too."
Ai looked grave, then left the meeting room. Killer Bee had already been brought here, and seeing his sister's injuries all over her body...
Ai, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly became furious and vowed to make Naruko pay the price.
Seeing this, Orochimaru offered to heal Killer Bee himself, but A refused. Then, he carefully took out the Horse Talisman amulet from his chest.
Once you have this item, it means that Ningxia has recognized you as a good friend.
As for Ai, who was once Ningxia's top female supporter, her relationship with Ningxia goes without saying.
As the Horse Charm took effect, Killer Bee immediately became lively and energetic, even having the energy to improvise a rap.
After silencing Killer Bee with a single punch, A looked at Shisui, after all, Naruto had once been a Konoha ninja.
"She has defected."
Shisui immediately said that Konoha should not take the blame for this.
"Hehehe~ Naruko Namikaze will definitely continue her pursuit, so maybe... we should hide Killer Bee. By the way, do you know why she's collecting the Tailed Beasts?"
Orochimaru knew what Naruko was planning, but she chose to acquiesce, just in case Naruko succeeded in bringing Ningxia back.
"She's going to launch Project Eye of the Moon."
Just when the four Kage and Nagato were at a loss, Obito suddenly appeared, which surprised everyone.
"You are...Uchiha?"
Although Shisui did not recognize Obito, he could vaguely sense that the other was one of his own clansmen.
"My name is Obito, Uchiha Obito."
Obito quickly relayed Naruto's plan, and after Naruto left...
She spent two years recovering and persuading Kakashi, all to stop Naruto today. Brother Ningxia wouldn't want to see that.
She had originally planned to collect the tailed beasts ahead of time, but plans never keep up with changes; Naruko was too fast.
"You mean, Namikaze Naruko is going to plunge the entire ninja world into the Infinite Tsukuyomi for Ningxia's sake?"
When Ohnoki heard this, he wanted to curse. What kind of ultimate love-struck fool is this?! To go to such lengths for a man?!
But when he thought of his apprentice and granddaughter, he couldn't continue cursing, since he had them too!
"Yes, if we want to stop her, we can't let her get the Eight-Tails."
Obito answered seriously, she would never allow Ningxia's expectations to be tarnished, even at the cost of her own life.
"You can't do it."
Just as Obito was trying to persuade everyone to unite, Naruko's voice came from the center of the conference platform.
"Kneel down, I beg you for one thing: hand over the Jinchuriki to me."
Naruto sat cross-legged, her tone arrogant and domineering as she surveyed the crowd before her. Even though these people were the pinnacle of the ninja world, to her they were merely slightly stronger ants.
"Are you kidding me!?"
Ai was like a furious lioness, wishing she could punch the girl in front of her to pieces.
"Since you are unwilling, then... I hereby declare the Fourth Shinobi World War to begin."
Naruko said calmly, as if she were talking about something trivial.
At this moment, even Shisui was startled and looked at Naruko, while Naruko was also looking at Shisui.
"Didn't you want to find Ningxia? Zhishui, come with me and complete the Eye of the Moon Plan, then Ningxia will come back."
Naruko's tone carried an irresistible allure, making Shisui hesitate. Looking at Naruko in front of him, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes. What if... he could really find Ningxia?
"Zhishui, think this through! Brother Ningxia, do you really want to see this happen?!"
Obito's voice forcefully brought Shisui back to reality. Looking at Obito's determined eyes, Shisui finally came to his senses.
Yes, Ningxia hates recklessness the most. If he really went crazy, he would probably end up like Itachi.
"snort!"
Naruko didn't have any good feelings towards Obito; she only refrained from attacking him because of Ningxia.
Now, they have become the ants that hinder their own plans.
"Everyone, let's take down Naruto together! Just consider it... for Brother Ningxia."
As soon as Obito finished speaking, everyone except Orochimaru attacked.
After all, Naruto had been so arrogant as to instigate the Fourth Shinobi World War right in front of them. Whether it was true or not, such behavior was already unforgivable.
Ai was the most proactive, after all, Naruko had injured her sister. Even if she wouldn't kill Naruko for Ningxia's sake, she would definitely suffer physical pain.
Naruko remained calm, her arms imbued with Armament Haki, combined with her Tailed Beast Cloak and the physique of the Uzumaki clan, allowing her to fight A to a standstill.
In addition, with the help of the Flying Thunder God Technique, her speed is now considered the fastest in the ninja world.
If Obito hadn't used Kamui to assist, the Five Kage would have been defeated long ago.
"Kotoamatsukami!"
Shisui's eyes were bloodshot as he tried to forcefully control Naruko with Kotoamatsukami, but he was instead countered by Naruko's Nine-Tomoe Ring, and he was panting heavily while covering his bleeding eyes.
"Universal Pull!" Nagato intended to use Universal Pull to control Naruko, but was instead knocked away by her Shinra Tensei.
Mei Terumi's Lava Release and Boil Release, and Onoki's Dust Release, didn't even have a chance to hit Naruto.
However, Naruko was ultimately alone, and under the combined attack of the others who had gradually become familiar with teamwork during their fight against the Otsutsuki, she was still defeated.
"You guys are pretty good, but that's not enough."
Naruko got up, dusted herself off, and seeing that no one was worried, she disappeared before their eyes with a puff of white smoke.
She was just an avatar.
