Chapter 497: Delusional Sandaime
Boom Boom Boom
Listening to the constant roars and sounds of explosions coming from Konohagakure, the corners of the tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito’s (The mask Obito used in Fourth Great Shinobi War) lips under his mask arched in a mocking grin, “Unexpectedly, Kusagakure is quite capable.”
The red Haired Nagato who stood still silent with an indifferent expression had a cold look in his eyes.
Ever since he transplanted the Hashirama Cells, Nagato has completely bid farewell to his Wooden Cart and can properly walk on his own. Not only that, even his body has become extremely strong, and his Chakra reserves have grown sharply. The characteristics of the Sage Body of the Uzumaki Clan and the Characteristics of the Sage Body of the Senju Hashirama were fused together in his body.
At this time, Konan who was observing the state of the village from a distance landed on the ground next to Nagato and said, “The monster that ran out of the Box of Ultimate Bliss has destroyed a large section of Konoha near the Outer wall, and has penetrated inside the village.”
Nagato said lightly, “That monster has an aura that makes me feel disgusted.”
Tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito shrugged, “Konohagakure collapse? And making them feel the Pain? Isn’t that what was your objective? So, does it really matter if that monster does it or you do it?”
Nagato fell silent upon hearing tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito’s words, ‘Indeed, Konoha must feel the Pain… Those who do not know the Pain will never know what true peace is.’
While Nagato was silent, Zetsu leaned out of the ground and the half-white complained, “Oh, why do I have to do such dangerous things every time? Although, the monster that came out of that thing called Box of Ultimate Bliss is indeed extraordinary.”
Using his Mayfly, Zetsu can not only easily travel under the ground but also converge his aura that makes it very difficult for anyone to sense him, as such he is the best candidate for carrying out an investigation, so he has been trailing behind Satori and watching how Satori ravaged through Konoha.
“Extraordinary? How extraordinary is it?” tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito asked with a curious tone, and then continued, “What move did Konoha make to deal with it?”
White Zetsu replied, “Konoha firstly sent Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, but Jiraiya was no match for the monster, even his bid Toad Summon was completely useless, he couldn’t land even a single hit!”
When Nagato heard White Zetsu’s words, he had a look of surprise on his face.
As Jiraiya’s disciple, and as someone who has faced Jiraiya at the Summit War, Nagato is very clear of Jiraiya’s strength… even if Jiraiya does not use the Sennin Mode, with just the Giant Toad of Mount Myoboku and Jiraiya’s own set of skills and experience; he is undoubtedly a Shinobi of Kage level strength.
Even if he can not completely defeat a Bijuu; he is still capable of fighting back and forth against a Bijuu and won’t be completely useless. Yet, such a Shinobi is completely useless against the monster that came out of the Box of Ultimate Bliss? So, Nagato had to reconsider his opinion on that monster.
Tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito was also surprised and said, “It was originally just part of a trial that was arranged casually. Who would have thought that the effects would be so good? It seems that the entire Shinobi World has underestimated Kusagakure’s heritage.”
After White Zetsu’s description of the battle, even tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito realized that the monster that came out of the Box of Ultimate Bliss is indeed quite extraordinary.
White Zetsu continued, “After Jiraiya’s repeated failure, the other Legendary Sannin of Konoha, Tsunade-hime led a team of Shinobi to support him, but for some reason, she looked a bit weird, I couldn’t sense the real reason for her weirdness, and she didn’t seem injured but for some reason, she was unable to fight… in short, her state was not right, she couldn’t help Jiraiya even a little bit and almost had her subordinates get killed by the monster… Then a member of Amatsukami appeared.”
As soon as the word Amatsukami was spoken by Zetsu, a strange silence engulfed the place. Whether it was the cold and indifferent Nagato with his God complex or the mocking tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito, both of them had their expressions turned serious.
After a long silence that lasted who knows how long, Nagato said, “Sure enough, Amatsukami is in some kind of cooperation with Konoha!”
A few months ago, the tri-Alliance consisting of the teams led by the Kage of the three Great Shinobi Villages attacked Amegakure and were about to be eliminated by Akatsuki, but just when they were about to be killed Amatsukami suddenly intervened and the leader of Amatsukami personally fought him and almost killed him.
Although he didn’t think too much about it at that time because of the shortage of time and the emergency situation, Nagato didn’t forget that matter and upon later analysis, Nagato faintly felt that Konoha must be in some kind of secret cooperation with Amatsukami.
This time he arranged for Kusagakure to raid Konohagakure to test out the waters and Konoha’s response, and there were also some tentative intentions in it, however, he did not expect that Amatsukami would really take the bait and jump out unexpectedly.
Tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito also changed to serious expression and asked in a deep and gloomy tone, “Which member of Amatsukami has appeared?”
White Zetsu thought a little and said, “it’s the guy Suijin referred to as Fujin. He has the Wind Chakra Signature on his chest, wears the green-colored wind patterned mask, and uses Magnet Release to control Iron Sand.”
Konan who is in charge of Intelligence analysis continued after Zetsu’s words, “The member named Fujin who uses Magnet Release doesn’t seem to have too many records. The only time he even participated in any fight was to help out Homusubi resist Kumogakure’s A–B Combo… and even then, he did not do much and Amatsukami had to retreat. But there is a rumor that he is stronger than Homusubi and Suijin.”
Tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito thought a little and said, “Perhaps that’s just an excuse or a false rumor to create deterrence of Fujin… with just Magnet Release he can not be as strong as Homusubi… who is clearly stronger than Suijin. So, maybe he is the weakest member of Amatsukami.” After taking a pause and suppressing his urge to make a move, he said again, “And if he is indeed the weakest, and has already appeared on the battlefield, then perhaps this a bait deliberately released by Amatsukami to bring us out of the shadows… Let’s not act rashly, the other four Kage and their guards are also gathered in Konoha.”
Nagato nodded with a cautious expression.
Seeing that Nagato also agreed with ‘Madara’ suggestion, Konan turned towards Zetsu and said, “In that case pay attention to the battlefield… once there is any information about the leader of Amatsukami, Yama, report it to us immediately.”
Tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito also added, “The same is the case with Homusubi and Suijin, if either of the two of them shows up then notify us immediately.”
According to the intelligence gathered by Akatsuki about the members of Amatsukami, the leader, Yama is ranked as the strongest and the most dangerous, then comes Homusubi who has the Mangekyou Sharingan, followed by Suijin who can use Ice Release and can transform into an Ice-Water Dragon… and at last, there is Fujin who only uses Magnet Release and has not yet shown any significant battle prowess…
So, even if they do care a little about Fujin and the rumor about him, but when facing the five Kage and the other members of Amatsukami… they can only assume that perhaps Fujin is really not that strong is just bait.
Zetsu nodded and submerged back into the ground to pay attention to the situation and see if he can find any information about Yama, Homusubi, and Suijin.
…
Konohagakure, inside Hokage Building.
Looking at the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and listening to the noise of the explosion, painful cries, roars and so many other types of noises, Sandaime sitting in the Hokage Office had a gloomy expression on his face.
Ryuhan and Mu standing next to him both looked worried.
No one had expected that the monster that came out of the Box of Ultimate Bliss would be so powerful and so difficult to solve by Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin. Even when Tsunade, was sent, the situation still did not change, it was as if even two of the Legendary Sannin were completely useless.
You must know that the current Jiraiya and Tsunade are not the same young Jonins during the Second Great Shinobi War who fought against Hanzo of the Salamander and barely managed to hold him.
The strength of the current Tsunade and Jiraiya is strong enough that if the two of them were to team up against Hanzo of that time, then Hanzo would be brutally thrashed and killed by the two of them.
Yet they are being completely useless against the monster that came out of the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
This has made Sandaime more worried, after all, Jiraiya and Tsunade are the trump cards in the hands of Sandaime.
In the plan formulated by Sandaime, Jiraiya and Tsunade will not only be responsible for repelling the tentative attacks of the Akatsuki organization performed by using the radical faction of Kusagakure but also be responsible for leading up the follow-up offensive against the Akatsuki Organization… such that the leader of Akatsuki, Uzumaki Nagato would be forced to show himself and will be dealt with by the surprise assault led by Gokage.
For this purpose, even if the village becomes a battlefield, Sandaime has no hesitation.
Yes, Sandaime did not hesitate to use the Village as the battlefield, in order to solve Akatsuki Organization once and for all by directly killing Uzumaki Nagato and destroying his Rinnegan at the same time.
Such things as Rinnegan that represent the legendary power of Rikudo Sennin must not be allowed to exist as it is clearly disrupting the authority of the five great powers… which is not something Sandaime Hokage wishes to see.
But things completely deviated from his plan, the so-called Box of Ultimate Bliss which was Kusagakure’s radicals’ hope of reviving their village to its former glory turned out to be so difficult, and what came out of the Box is a terrible monster against who even the two Legendary Sannin are completely helpless!
Jiraiya and Tsunade have already teamed up and yet they are unable to deal with the monster and are at a disadvantage, as for the rest of the members of the Akatsuki Organization? They haven’t even shown up yet!
Ryuhan couldn’t stand it any longer, he stepped forward and said, “Hokage-sama, we of Kusagakure are responsible for this mess, so we are willing to help Konoha deal with that monster!”
However, Sandaime Hokage shook his head, “The shinobi of Kusagakure can not show up yet.”
If Mu, and Ryuhan, as well as other shinobi of Kusagakure, were to appear in Konoha, Akatsuki would probably guess that their attack plan has been leaked to Konoha in advance, so they would be prepared in advance for some surprises, and if that were to happen, then the effect of the Gokage’s raid against the leader of Akatsuki will be greatly reduced.
Ryuhan is also aware of the Sandaime Hokage’s concern, so he could only sigh in helplessly.
He is very fortunate now that Kusagakure has never been able to open the Box of Ultimate Bliss in the past few decades, otherwise, the entire Kusagakure would have been reduced to a bloody purgatory overnight and the Land of Grass would have been destroyed similar to the Land of Demons.
Sandaime looked into the distance and thought to himself, ‘We can only place our hope on Amatsukami in dealing with that monster, but why did they send out this Magnet Release user, and not Homusubi, Suijin, or Yama?’
When he noticed that a member of Amatsukami was fighting against the monster that came out of the box of Ultimate Bliss, Sandaime hoped that other members of Amatsukami would also appear and fight against Akatsuki, in order to consume each other severely. This way, the five great powers could simultaneously put an end to both of these organizations and return the Shinobi World back to how it was.
It’s a pity that Sandaime Hokage is too delusional and does not know that the Akatsuki Organization is very clear about his intention of using the Gokage against them, but they are still not afraid and plans to kill all five Kage along with destroying Konoha this time, then focus their attention on effortlessly collecting the Nine Bijuu to revive the Juubi. The only thing that they did not expect was Amatsukami’s intervention… Of course, they are still not too worried and plans to solve Amatsukami along with Konoha, and the Gokage.
At the same time, Sandaime is also not aware that two of the Five Kage are secret members of Amatsukami, so no matter what happens, they would never follow his approach and deal with Amatsukami, and even if they had such intention, neither of the Five Kage is strong enough to deal with any member of Amatsukami, especially their leader, Yama.
