Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 109: Refusing Allegiance! Obito's Ambush, Danzo's Misfortune!

To Ishihara, the Uchiha clan had lost its value. The next step after the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was the Rinnegan; was he supposed to groom Sasuke and wait for him to unlock it? The Akatsuki already had a Rinnegan ready for him to claim! And now, people who had betrayed him still wanted to pledge allegiance? There was no way he'd let that happen!

Ishihara smiled coldly.

"I refuse your allegiance!"

What?!

The members of the Uchiha clan, including Itachi, looked up at him in shock. Ishihara's indifferent gaze landed on Itachi, whose pupils contracted as a chill swept over him. Ishihara walked to his side, and though Itachi didn't dare move, he allowed Ishihara's hand to rest on his head.

"Seal Technique!"

Ishihara resealed Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan training method, then said coolly, "I'm not a bloodthirsty person. In recognition of the Uchiha's assistance with my secret technique, I'll let bygones be bygones."

With that, he turned toward the Nine-Tails and began thinking about Obito, leaving the Mangekyō Sharingans of Fugaku and the others untouched, as they had already been rendered useless during his secret technique. Meanwhile, an extra pair of Mangekyō eyes remained in his hands. As he gazed toward the battlefield with the Nine-Tails, he began channeling his secret technique, preparing to activate his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Watching Ishihara turn away, ignoring him, Itachi was at a loss. The other Uchiha members cast their eyes toward him. Itachi opened his mouth to speak but, knowing Ishihara's character, he realized that Ishihara's refusal of the Uchiha's allegiance was final. Without another word, he quietly went forward to collect the bodies of Fugaku and the others.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"

"Shadow Imitation Technique!"

"Lightning Release: Sixteen Pillar Bind!"

"Five Style Great Combo Technique!"

Boom, boom, boom!

Explosions echoed endlessly as Konoha's ninja fought the Nine-Tails with everything they had. Every time the beast swiped its claws or whipped its tails, it inflicted heavy losses on the Konoha forces. The Third Hokage, with Kakashi and others at the frontlines, was fighting desperately to buy time for the sealing and barrier teams. Danzo was also a key player, his Wind Style techniques reaching unparalleled mastery. His powerful Vacuum Serial Waves could even make the Nine-Tails flinch in pain. But the Nine-Tails was simply too powerful; these ordinary techniques could not truly harm it.

Watching countless Konoha ninja fall either dead or gravely injured, Danzo and the Third Hokage's eyes turned bloodshot. Danzo shouted, "This isn't working, Hiruzen! Think of something!"

The Third Hokage's face contorted. Armed with the Adamantine Staff, he could hold his ground against the Nine-Tails for a while. With the Nara clan's assistance, they could even restrain it somewhat. But they couldn't stop its devastating attacks! If this went on, Konoha's losses would be catastrophic!

As more and more people died horribly, the Third Hokage roared, "Guy, go for it!"

"I've been waiting for this! Eight Gates, open!"

Might Guy, waiting in the rear, activated the forbidden technique. The Third Hokage shouted, "Yamato, be ready to suppress the Nine-Tails at any time!"

"Yes, sir!"

Yamato hurried to the Third Hokage's side to stand by. The Third Hokage then turned to Danzo and said solemnly, "It's time to risk everything."

Danzo took a deep breath and nodded. The two of them charged forward toward the Nine-Tails, followed closely by numerous Anbu members.

Suddenly, an Anbu member right behind Danzo placed a hand on his shoulder. Danzo, fully focused on the Nine-Tails and trusting the loyal subordinates around him, did not even sense any danger. He assumed the Anbu member had something urgent to tell him. But—

Swish!

In the next instant, Danzo and that Anbu member vanished from the spot.

"Lord Danzo?!"

"Obito!!"

The Anbu and Root members behind him cried out in alarm. The Third Hokage quickly turned and saw Danzo being absorbed into the Kamui dimension, and his face twisted with rage.

"Obito, I swear I'll kill you!"

In this crucial battle against the Nine-Tails, Obito had taken Danzo, one of their key fighters, completely tipping the scales and pushing the Third Hokage to his breaking point.

Roar!!!

Now at the Nine-Tails' front line, they faced the beast's furious assault. The Third Hokage could only shout in frustration before charging forward with the Anbu, the brutal battle continuing unabated.

In a forest somewhere in the Land of Fire, a swirling vortex appeared, and two figures emerged from it. Danzo leapt back and warily faced the masked man in front of him.

"Uchiha Obito, what are you planning?!"

Obito stood calmly, unfazed. "Danzo, release the Reanimation Jutsu immediately!"

Danzo froze, his pupils contracting. "So your target really is the First Hokage!"

He knew the First Hokage had been revived through the Reanimation Jutsu and was currently sealed away by Ishihara, still bound by the technique. Even if Obito had learned the Reanimation Jutsu, he wouldn't be able to use it on the First unless Danzo released him first.

Obito's voice was cold. "I can summon a version of the First Hokage that's closer to his peak. Don't you want to see that power?"

Danzo's expression shifted. If the First Hokage were to return, at the very least, the Nine-Tails crisis could be resolved!

"No, I refuse!"

After a moment's hesitation, Danzo declined. He couldn't trust Obito's motives or intentions. After all, Obito was Konoha's enemy, the number one threat who had killed the Fourth Hokage and incited two Nine-Tails attacks!

"That's not up to you!"

Obito sneered as Danzo's heart sank. He scanned his surroundings warily, but in the next moment—

Buzz—

As soon as their eyes met, Danzo froze, cursing, "Damn, I hate genjutsu!"

Obito's genjutsu could control even perfect jinchuriki like Yagura, so it was no surprise that it worked on Danzo.

Squelch…

From beneath Danzo, Black Zetsu emerged, slithering up his body like a shadow and enveloping him completely.

"It's done!"

Working together, they let Black Zetsu take control of Danzo's body temporarily. Obito then directed Zetsu, guiding Danzo's hands to form the seals.

"Reanimation Jutsu, release!"

Buzz—

A mysterious energy radiated outward, and the First Hokage, sealed and bound, began to ascend.

"Thank you, young Uchiha, for freeing me."

The First Hokage looked at Obito and thanked him.

"If you're grateful, then there's one more thing I'd like to ask of you, Lord First."

"What would that be? In my current state, I doubt I'd be much help."

The First Hokage's brows furrowed slightly.

Obito sneered, "You'll find out soon enough!"

With that, he used Kamui to reappear within Konoha, not far from Ishihara. Carving out the Reanimation Jutsu's formation on the ground, he placed a White Zetsu in the center as the sacrificial offering.

"Reanimation Jutsu!"
