Chapter 985: Betrayal and Backstabbing!
Chapter 985: Betrayal and Backstabbing!
When Obito's true identity was revealed, and Kakashi called out his name, the Konoha side was in an uproar.
"Uchiha Obito?"
"The hero on the Memorial Stone?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
...
Many remembered the name because Kakashi's Sharingan was a gift from him.
But who could have imagined that the Konoha hero, who had died in the Third Great Ninja War, would appear, and as the leader of the Akatsuki no less?
"Obito, are you blaming me for not protecting Rin?"
Kakashi slowly walked forward.
Indeed, Naruto, Sasuke, and Uzumaki Mei all showed restraint and didn't take the opportunity to attack Obito.
It had to be said that the Ninja World was truly magical; while others were engaged in fierce battles, they were here enjoying the show.
Uzumaki Mei, the general of the Ryou Army, reluctantly glanced at the scene with a hint of regret before leaving with her eyes fixed on the spectacle.
As the main general of the Ryou Army, she didn't have the time to watch this spectacle.
However, just because she didn't have the time, it didn't mean others didn't.
At the very least, Dang Ping and Hyuga Tsukuyomi were both paying attention to this side.
Just like Gaara's Sand Generation, a type of reconnaissance ninjutsu, it was impossible for Dang Ping not to know it.
It might be useless in battle, but it was perfect for spectating.
For him, no matter how many casualties there were, nothing was more important than enjoying the show.
It wasn't that he had a heart of stone, but rather that this was the way of the Ninja World.
War and death were omnipresent!
If one were so fragile, they would have crumbled under the pressure and gone mad long ago.
At this moment, Obito and Kakashi were acting out a melodramatic scene.
It was like one saying, 'You are heartless, cold, and unreasonable,' while the other responded, 'Where am I heartless, cold, or unreasonable?'
Wasn't this similar to Boruto?
Indeed, not only was Dang Ping engrossed in this melodramatic scene, but Hyuga Tsukuyomi by his side was also secretly paying attention, despite maintaining a calm exterior.
Of course, as this melodramatic scene unfolded, the chaotic battle on the battlefield continued.
Although the Allied Shinobi Forces were at a disadvantage, it was still impossible to determine a clear victor in a short time.
After all, despite the significant losses, the Allied Shinobi Forces still had the advantage in numbers.
However, this balance shifted when several signal flares lit up the night sky.
Boom! Boom!
Two green and yellow signal flares exploded, creating a dazzling display in the night sky.
But to the Allied Shinobi Forces, it was a sight of bloodshed and cruelty.
"For a pure and peaceful Ninja World, let's purge these rotten pests!"
Yotsuki Yagura suddenly shouted.
As he spoke, a pitch-black armor enveloped his body, and a pair of dark wings extended from his back.
Super Organ + Heaven's Curse Seal!
With the activation of these two abilities, his aura surged, and he entered the Hyper Shadow Level.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Yotsuki Yagura threw one fireball after another from his Scorch Release towards the area where the Iwa ninjas were stationed.
The egg-sized fireballs grew into gigantic ones as they were thrown, and the innermost layer seemed to contain countless energies spinning at high speed.
Scorch Release!
With Yotsuki Yagura's power breakthrough, evolution was inevitable.
It could be said that his Scorch Release was on par with Kaguya's Paper Release, worthy of being called a 'Sage Art'.
Of course, this evaluation was based on outdated standards; if it were Dang Ping's assessment, it would merely be considered a 'Sage Technique', not reaching the level of a Sage Art.
However, even as a Sage Technique, its power had increased to an epic level.
When this Scorch Release fireball landed among the Iwa ninjas a few hundred meters away.
Boom!
It was like a heavy missile exploding, unleashing terrifying flames and scorching heat that turned the surrounding area into a hellish landscape.
There were no survivors within the direct range of the attack.
Even those outside the direct range felt the intense heat as if it were evaporating all moisture, almost turning them into mummies.
A single strike, no matter how powerful, could only do so much.
But as these Scorch Release fireballs rained down one after another, they directly shattered the already low morale of the Iwa ninjas.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Yotsuki Yagura transformed into a long-range firepower unit, swiftly harvesting the Iwa ninjas with his Scorch Release.
As his attacks extended, the Sunagakure ninjas had already reached the front lines.
"Kill!"
The Sunagakure and Iwa ninjas had a long history of enmity, enough to fill an entire novel.
Not only did their territories border each other, but there were also numerous conflicts of interest, resulting in countless bloodstained hands on both sides.
Now, it's time to settle scores and repay grudges.
"You...!"
"You betrayed the Allied Forces!"
...
The Iwa ninjas, caught off guard by the sudden attack from the Sunagakure ninjas, had no time to defend themselves and were quickly overwhelmed.
"Desert Funeral Jutsu!"
Gaara, with his gourd on his back, clapped his hands on the sandy ground.
Swish!
Countless grains of sand surged forward like a tidal wave, engulfing the Iwa ninjas in front of them.
...
To him, he had long considered himself a part of the Lander of the Ryouyou. Not only did the Ryouyou's will align with his ninja way, but it also brought hope and a future to the village.
Today's Sunagakure was completely different from the past. It was not only a place where people could live happily, but it also offered a glimpse into its future development.
Wasn't this the very ideal of ninjas?
So, it was no surprise that the Sunagakure ninjas were willing to pledge their loyalty to the Lander of the Ryouyou, even to the point of sacrificing their lives.
They knew that as long as they fought for the Lander of the Ryouyou, even if they lost their families, they would receive excellent compensation, ensuring they had no worries.
"Kill!"
One by one, the Sunagakure ninjas, led by Gaara, charged into the Iwa ninja forces, fierce as tigers descending from the mountains.
Their morale was through the roof!
The Sunagakure ninjas' performance left countless Iwa ninjas in awe.
In previous battles, the Sunagakure ninjas hadn't shown much prowess, with meager victories and average strength.
But who would have known that they weren't weak at all? Instead, they were holding back their true strength.
It wasn't just the Sunagakure ninjas!
On the other side, the Kirigakure ninjas, led by Terumi Mei, were also attacking the Konohagakure ninjas. The Konohagakure ninjas were caught between the Sunagakure and Iwa ninjas, and to attack the Kirigakure ninjas, they would first have to break through the Konohagakure and Iwa ninja defenses.
Half of the Allied Forces were already engaging the Ryouyou Army with Uchiha Itachi, leaving the remaining forces to be backstabbed by the two great ninja villages, leaving them stunned.
Even Uchiha Madara, the dark hand of the ninja world, was caught off guard, unable to understand why these two great ninja villages were turning on them.
Both the Sunagakure and Kirigakure ninjas were renowned as part of the Five Great Ninja Villages, yet they had turned their backs on the Allied Forces at the last moment.
It was hard to believe unless one witnessed it firsthand.
"Damn those Kirigakure and Sunagakure ninjas for siding with you!"
Itachi cursed as he faced Uchiha Sasuke's attacks.
He never expected that these two great ninja villages would side with the Lander of the Ryouyou, backstabbing the Allied Forces at this critical moment.
With the strength of the Kirigakure and Sunagakure ninjas, they could hold their own in a direct confrontation, let alone when the Allied Forces were already engaged with the Akatsuki.
It was like a series of unfortunate events.
No wonder Itachi couldn't help but curse.
This meant not only the defeat of the Allied Forces but also the transformation of the ninja world into the shape of the Lander of the Ryouyou.
On the other side, Jiraiya, under attack by Houki, Omo, and Uchiha Shizuka, was even more shocked, muttering to himself.
"Impossible!"
"This must be a trick!"
"As one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, how could they betray us!"
...
There was no denying that the sudden betrayal of the two great ninja villages had a significant impact.
It was understandable that Jiraiya would think this way.
After all, the Five Great Ninja Villages were the strongest in the ninja world, enjoying supreme glory and power. How could they willingly surrender to others?
But what Jiraiya didn't know was that Yotsuki Yagura and Terumi Mei had been under Dang Ping's control from the start, completely transformed by the Heaven's Curse Seal.
Once a Kage was subdued, the rest could be easily swayed with benefits and promises of a better future.
Additionally, with the stubborn ones 'voluntarily' disappearing through inside-outside coordination and the shamaness's long-term propaganda, it was only natural that the ninja villages would be completely subdued.
For Dang Ping, a time traveler who had witnessed the infiltration of an entire country, overthrowing a ninja village was child's play, a walk in the park.
On the cliff's edge!
Dang Ping watched as the Allied Forces and the Akatsuki were overwhelmed by the combined might of the Lander of the Ryouyou and the two ninja villages. His eyes gleamed with anticipation.
Whether it was the Black Zetsu or Rikudo, any backup they had should have been used by now, or it would be too late.
