This is a top secret; not a single detail can be revealed.
Minato Namikaze is also here.
The root is a branch of the larger category of dark areas, and it also needs to perform various tasks.
"Who exactly is being protected?"
Namikaze Minato frowned slightly.
He had been waiting there ever since he was notified to come.
The cave behind was protected by a barrier, so even he, who was skilled in sensory ninjutsu, couldn't know what was inside.
He has been very busy these past few months, firstly because he has been busy dealing with grassroots affairs, and secondly because he has had little time to spare.
Secondly, he was busy perfecting the path after "Rasengan". He wanted to see if he could develop other derivative ninjutsu besides "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken" developed by Kiyoshi.
As a result of these factors combined, Minato Namikaze only saw Kushina four or five times in the past few months.
He decided to spend more time with Kushina after he finished this busy period.
Minato Namikaze noticed that Kushina was also inexplicably rarely going out, almost as if she were recuperating at home.
As he pondered, an extremely unnatural tremor rippled through the air.
It wasn't the sound of wind or water, but the sound of someone walking.
It was as if a pair of feet had suddenly appeared within their warning range and started moving around inside.
Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted.
Looking in the direction of the sound, there was a mysterious person dressed in a black robe and wearing an orange swirling mask.
The space behind him rippled like water, spinning out spiral patterns.
The visitor was none other than Obito.
He tilted his head slightly, and his only exposed Sharingan eye, through the eye socket, gazed precisely at the cave entrance deep in the mountain wall.
"The White Zetsu was talking about is right here..."
His low muttering was almost swallowed by the sound of water.
The figure flashed by in an instant.
There were no hand seals, no levitation; it was as if he had always been standing there.
Obito had already appeared behind an ANBU member guarding a pillar. His movements were so fast that no trace of his actions could be seen, as if he had jumped directly from some point in space to appear in front of him.
The member of the secret service felt a sudden chill in the air behind his neck, and a strong sense of crisis pierced his spine like an ice pick!
He suddenly tried to turn around, his hand just reaching for the kunai.
“Wh…who?!”
Before the question could even finish, a black-gloved hand gripped his throat like an iron clamp.
Click!
A crisp yet chilling sound of bones cracking pierced the roaring water.
The member of the Dark Division suddenly stiffened, then all his strength vanished instantly, and he collapsed limply to the ground.
The eyes beneath the mask still held the lingering horror and disbelief of the last moment.
Kakashi threw a kunai at the mysterious masked man, only to find that the kunai passed right through him.
"!"
Kakashi was startled, not understanding how the masked man in front of him had accomplished all of this.
"Kakashi!"
Minato Namikaze shouted, then flashed and grabbed the special kunai that had pierced through Obito's body.
This specially made kunai was a gift from Minato Namikaze to him as a Jonin during the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.
Considering the extremely high level of secrecy surrounding today's mission, and that even he himself was unaware of the specifics, Minato Namikaze instructed Kakashi to take him along, just in case.
Sure enough, it came in handy at this moment.
Blue light gathered in Minato Namikaze's hand, and chakra continuously compressed into a sphere.
Rasengan!
Obito formed hand seals, and a row of wooden pillars grew from the ground, forming a curved arch to protect himself.
Wood escape·Wooden spindle wall!
Snapped!
In an instant, splinters of wood flew everywhere.
"Golden Flash, your speed has slowed down."
Obito deliberately lowered his voice.
As he grew older, his voice went through puberty and became different from before.
Even Minato Namikaze, who had spent every day with Obito and was the one who mentored Jonin, couldn't sense any familiarity with the sound.
Minato Namikaze's heart sank. This mysterious enemy must know a lot about him, including his presence and the ninjutsu he could use.
He wondered if news of the operation had been leaked.
Suddenly, the wooden beams that formed the curved arches began to extend once more, rapidly reaching towards Minato Namikaze.
Wood Release: Silent Killing Binding Technique!
The sound of air being torn apart startled Minato Namikaze, who immediately used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to teleport to another location with a kunai.
"Minato-sensei."
Kakashi moved his ninja headband up, revealing his crimson Sharingan.
"Kakashi, this enemy is very strong, don't be careless."
Minato Namikaze waved his hand, throwing away the specially made kunai that had been stuck in the ground beforehand, marking another movable location.
"I misspoke, you are actually very fast."
Obito's voice became hoarse, even carrying a hint of resentment.
So fast that he couldn't even catch a glimpse of her when he tried to ambush her.
So why didn't you manage to save yourself?
Why were they made to perform a task that was clearly beyond their capabilities?
It's clearly bait!
Obito's inner emotions aroused the power of his Sharingan.
With his entire body almost entirely composed of "Hashirama cells," he can no longer be considered an ordinary "Mangekyou Sharingan."
Not only did it reduce consumption significantly, but it also greatly increased pupil power.
Whoosh!
Obito had black chains wrapped around his wrists; these were ninja tools he had specifically sought out.
"action!"
Obito shouted.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the sound of "explosive tags" exploding came from afar.
"Was he not the only enemy, but an organized attack?"
Minato Namikaze frowned, becoming increasingly wary.
……
"Ouch, Kiyoshi!"
Inside the cave, Kushina could be heard groaning in pain.
Inside the cave, only a few candles illuminated the black sealing patterns on the mountain walls.
These can prevent outsiders from spying on them and suppress the Nine-Tails' chakra.
In the very center, there was a black bed.
Kushina's lower body was covered with a cloth, and her legs were spread apart.
Kiyoshi then pressed his hand against Kushina's abdomen to reinforce the seal.
The seal is at its weakest now, and the entire sealing system is teetering on the brink of collapse.
If Kurama seizes the opportunity, it can break through Kushina's body and come out directly.
When the tailed beasts are free, Kushina will have to pay the price with her life.
If a Jinchūriki extracts a Tailed Beast, they will only die.
The only exception is the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki; only the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki can survive having their body extracted.
After the procedure, the patient will lie weakly in bed, in a state that is almost like being on the verge of death for several months.
Because the "Gedo Mazo" remains inside the Jinchūriki's body as a shell, it still possesses considerable vitality.
The Sage of Six Paths died, but more importantly, he dispersed the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine parts and sent the "Gedo Mazo" within him to the moon to seal it away.
All these actions brought the Sage of Six Paths' physical lifespan to its limit.
Otherwise, his lifespan wouldn't have been so short. His physical lifespan reached its end in just a few decades, and he observed the ninja world in his final form as a soul.
"Kushina, I'm going to block out your pain now."
Qingsi spoke.
He has improved his "Dark Medical Ninjutsu," which makes it easy to temporarily block nerves.
"Do not."
Kushina weakly shook her head, rejecting Kiyoshi's suggestion.
"Only after enduring such pain can I take on the responsibility of a mother."
Kushina's tone was weak, yet firm.
"Good, as expected of Lady Mito's successor."
Sarutobi Biwako exclaimed in admiration.
She always had great respect for Mito Uzumaki.
At this moment, the people inside the cave also sensed the sounds of battle erupting outside.
"There's an enemy attack."
Sarutobi Biwako looked grim.
"It's alright, just keep focusing on your duties."
Qingsi spoke.
Obito has arrived outside.
Further away were some members of the Akatsuki organization.
"Did they use the 'Impure World Reincarnation Technique'?"
Suddenly, Kiyoshi sensed something interesting.
Chapter 382 Obtaining the "Innate Sage Transformation" entry! Turmoil in Konoha
Ninjas resurrected using the "Impure World Reincarnation" technique all possess infinite chakra.
This "infinite chakra" does not refer to an unlimited upper limit, but rather to the ability to "infinitely replenish chakra."
Chakra is a mixture of physical and mental energy, so ninjas need to maintain a balance between the two. When chakra is depleted, it means that one aspect of energy is exhausted, and the price is death.
However, after being impure, the body was transformed into an immortal one.
