Hyuga Hinata furrowed her brow because she sensed the large and ferocious Chakra of the Ten-tailed is gradually disappearing, which surprised her a little.

Hyuga Hinata, the current clan leader of the Hyuga Clan, is stronger than she was in the past. Perhaps the burden of her clan resting on her shoulders makes her always act very composed in this war, diligently fulfilling her duties.

The veins on either side of Hyuga Hinata’s eyes bulged as she used her barrier to sense the situation where the Ten-tailed was being revived: "Lady Tsunade, the Ten-tailed’s Chakra is gradually fading... no, wrong, someone is secretly absorbing the Ten-tailed’s Chakra!"

"It’s definitely that guy Orochimaru..."

Tsunade slowly clasped her hands, feeling a bit uneasy about mentioning this past friend, and continued softly: "Hinata, where are Uehara Naraku and the Alliance now, how long until they arrive?"

"There’s still some distance..."

Hyuga Hinata’s face was slightly pale as she continued softly: "General Uehara has just repelled Uchiha Madara. He is now quickly leading the Ninja Alliance to the place where the Ten-tailed is being revived, but at this speed..."

They might not make it in time.

No, perhaps they are sure not to make it.

Hyuga Hinata’s expression changed, and she continued reporting the situation from the front in a deep voice: "The Fourth Hokage has appeared! Lord Fourth and Lord Second are attacking General Uehara, hindering them from reaching the area of the Ten-tailed!

After reporting Uehara Naraku’s situation, her voice became more urgent: "On the other side, the speed of absorbing the Ten-tailed’s Chakra has suddenly increased!"

"I understand."

Tsunade nodded heavily, then turned to the Fourth Raikage and Third Tsuchikage: "Can’t stop that guy Orochimaru yet? Raikage, Lord Tsuchikage, they’ve fought long enough, let’s go over too, the final showdown is about to start!"

"It seems like we don’t need to offer support everywhere..."

Third Tsuchikage Onoki nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, that kid Uehara first helped seal the Reanimation Legion and then defeated Uchiha Madara; his power must be nearly exhausted by now, right?"

"Hmm..."

Hyuga Hinata hesitated before nodding and responding softly: "After defeating Uchiha Madara, General Uehara’s energy was greatly consumed, almost instantly weakening;

Moreover, he easily defeated Lord Second and Lord Fourth in the past, but now under their siege, he has fallen into a bitter struggle..."

"Then let’s go!"

The Chakra on the Fourth Raikage surged violently, he shattered the wall with a punch and shouted: "Focus all your strength to take down Orochimaru!

We can’t put the entire burden of the war on Uehara, he would look down on us in the future!"

Meanwhile.

Uehara Naraku really seemed to be in a bitter struggle.

Second Hokage Senju Tobirama and Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato were constantly hindering his advance, buying time for Orochimaru to become the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki.

When Jiraiya led a special operations team to help, Uehara Naraku refused their assistance and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It seems Orochimaru indeed worries about me stopping him!"

As Uehara Naraku dodged Senju Tobirama’s attack, just when he was about to punch Tobirama, he could only watch as Tobirama used the Flying Thunder God technique to vanish.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Uehara Naraku turned to Jiraiya: "Lord Jiraiya, upon sensing the Ten-tailed’s Chakra, I know this is no longer just a contest of strength because I will definitely not be the opponent of the Ten-tailed.

But I believe in you, Lord Jiraiya. As Orochimaru’s former comrade and rival, if anyone in the Ninja World can stop Orochimaru, I believe that person could certainly be you!"

"..."

Jiraiya remained silent.

Uehara Naraku is right.

As Orochimaru’s former teammate and best friend, preventing his former friend from making mistakes, isn’t that his responsibility?

"...I understand."

After silently nodding, Jiraiya promptly led his special operations team toward the area of the Ten-tailed.

The vanguard of the Ninja Alliance had already surpassed Uehara Naraku. Some even stopped to offer help, but they were all sent away by Uehara Naraku.

"Hurry, go stop Orochimaru first!"

While dodging Namikaze Minato’s figure, Uehara Naraku urged loudly: "You must stop him from becoming the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki!"

"Yes, General!"

The Ninja Alliance marched grandly past Uehara Naraku’s position.

After those ninja from the alliance completely left, Uehara Naraku then casually raised his finger, controlling Second Hokage Senju Tobirama and Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato to halt.

"That’s about enough ...."

Uehara Naraku curled his lips slightly, chuckling softly: "Truly, Orochimaru, you even need me, your enemy, to find a way to buy time for you to completely become a Jinchuriki..."

After speaking to himself, Uehara Naraku turned to the Second and Fourth Hokages beside him, and commanded in a deep voice: "Go lift the seals of those Reanimation Ninjas! This war has only just begun!"

"..."

Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato wanted to curse.

This bastard still planned for the mantis to stalk the cicada while unaware of the yellow bird behind!

If they could rid themselves of control, they would definitely want to teach Uehara Naraku a lesson!

On the battlefield on the other side.

Orochimaru had completely absorbed all the Chakra of the Ten-tailed, transformed into a white, shiny ball suspended above the battlefield, leaving the situation a bit unclear.

Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses, gazing at the white ball, and murmured: "Has it finally succeeded?"

"No, not necessarily."

Uchiha Obito’s figure emerged from a spacetime vortex beside him, explaining softly: "Resisting the will of the Ten-tailed isn’t that simple... it’s only the first step!"

Perhaps it wouldn’t be too difficult either.

For Orochimaru, as long as his will is strong enough, he can resist the erosion of the Ten-tailed. Generally, those daring to be a behind-the-scenes boss must have strong resolve like Uchiha Madara, who suppressed the Ten-tailed with no impediment...

Who knows about Orochimaru...

Is there enough strong will to resist the Ten-tailed!

"I see..."

Yakushi Kabuto frowned slightly and asked softly, "If the Ten-tailed goes out of control...aren’t we just wasting our time for nothing?"

"It won’t be wasted."

From Uchiha Obito’s mouth came Uehara’s voice: "Then immediately pull the Ten-tailed out of his body, so he can survive briefly, then find a way for Black Zetsu to possess Orochimaru to resurrect Uchiha Madara..."

The one manipulating Orochimaru behind the scenes was a bit sinister. He continued, "If Orochimaru can pull through, all is well; if he can’t, then he’ll just have to be a pure tool..."

"..."

Yakushi Kabuto smiled helplessly.

This is really going to kill Orochimaru!

After a moment, Yakushi Kabuto suddenly asked, "Then, when will you come over, sir?"

"At the right moment!"

From Uchiha Obito’s mouth, Uehara’s voice sounded somewhat frivolous: "If Orochimaru fails, I’ll have to hurry and come over to handle his corpse; if Orochimaru succeeds..."

Uehara Naraku’s voice gradually carried a gentle smile: "Then let Orochimaru be happy for a while! After all, I’ve always felt a bit guilty towards him! I’ll show him true despair when he’s most proud!"

"..."

Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses and sighed gently: "Indeed, sir always has such a peculiar taste."

Honestly, it’s better to use Orochimaru and then just kill him!

Yakushi Kabuto felt inexplicably that if things really unfolded as Uehara Naraku planned, the relationship between Uehara and Orochimaru could never reconcile, could it?

Although now they’re already irreconcilable...

"But..."

Yakushi Kabuto’s gaze shifted slightly, focusing on the white sphere in the field, and lowered his voice: "Even if Lord Orochimaru becomes the terrifying Ten-tailed Jinchuriki, does the Lord still have absolute confidence to resolve him?"

Honestly speaking.

Even Yakushi Kabuto himself is a bit scared.

Because the Ten-tailed Chakra just now was so strong that it even made Yakushi Kabuto a bit tense. If Orochimaru really succeeded in becoming the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki, who knows what powerful force he can wield!

Even in this unscientific Ninja World, there are some scientific principles, like quantitative changes might lead to qualitative changes, especially since the Ten-tailed Chakra itself is a qualitative change from the convergence of nine Tailed Beasts’ Chakra...

"Hehe..."

Uehara Naraku’s voice carried a trace of sarcasm: "Even the true resurrection of the Six Paths Sage can do nothing to me, let alone just Orochimaru, who’s always been manipulated by us..."

Just at this moment.

Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Sasuke had also arrived here. He was just hiding far from the white sphere, his expression not looking too well: "The Ten-tailed Jinchuriki...has it succeeded already? This isn’t good for me..."

The troublesome part is, Uchiha Madara hadn’t planned for Orochimaru, so he hadn’t left any contingency on Orochimaru. Thus, Uchiha Madara has to think of a way to deal with Orochimaru by force.

Uchiha Sasuke mocked with a smirk: "Uchiha Madara, you’re already dead, and yet still eyeing the Ten-tailed’s power?"

"..."

Uchiha Madara was a bit unhappy with Sasuke’s rudeness.

This junior named Uchiha Sasuke, with a face identical to Uchiha Izuna, but why is his character so ill-natured?

Forget it.

Let’s not argue with him.

Uchiha Madara shook his head, focusing his attention back on the white sphere within the field, continuing his plotting.

The only thing working in his favor is...

Uehara Naraku and Black Zetsu had infiltrated the Ninja Alliance...

He can now use the power of the Ninja Alliance and Uehara Naraku to try to weaken Orochimaru. Once Orochimaru is weakened, he must revive quickly. Only by fully resurrecting and having life can he qualify to seize the role of the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki!

As Uchiha Madara was scheming here, the vanguard of the Ninja Alliance also arrived at the scene, led by Jiraiya. He took a glance around, and his gaze slowly landed on that white sphere.

Jiraiya tilted his head and asked, "According to Intelligence Squad reports, has the Ten-tailed’s Chakra been absorbed into that white sphere?"

"That’s right..."

"Is Orochimaru inside?"

"Should be..."

"Then let’s seal that white sphere first..."

Crack...

Crack, crack, crack...

Before Jiraiya could finish his command, the surface of the white sphere suddenly cracked, and the entire sphere immediately shattered!

Countless white crystal fragments flew!

The sound of white crystals shattering was as crisp as the sound of breaking glass, and the crystal fragments floated slowly like feathers, gently falling down.

Everyone couldn’t help but stare tightly at the spot!

In their line of sight, a slender figure emerged from inside the shattered white sphere, his body slowly floating in the air.

Silence blanketed the scene.

Everyone unconsciously held their breath.

"Jiraiya...didn’t imagine you’d be the first to arrive."

In the midst of this silence, a slightly raspy voice fell into everyone’s ears, the source was the figure emerging from the shell.

That person slowly turned around, looking towards the Ninja Alliance, removing the crystal fragments that still clung to his head: "No, this is right, being the first to arrive is you, making my evolution more meaningful."
