An error has occurred.

Just as the two energies were slowly merging, Naruto's body suddenly stiffened, interrupting the fusion of Nine-Tails chakra and Senjutsu chakra.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Naruto stop the steps of fusion, the Eight-Tails was confused.

There was a hint of darkness in Naruto's expression, as if he was enduring something.

"Grandpa Tsuchikage's chakra disappeared..."

After hearing this, Yawei was also startled and fell silent, feeling uneasy in his heart.

"Chirp, babble, babble!"

The ear-piercing scream brought the Eight-Tails and Naruto back to their senses instantly.

The demon statue in front looked up to the sky and roared, and kept beating the earth with its arms. When intermittent explosion sounds were heard, the earth continued to crack, extending in all directions. Even the Eight-Tails and Naruto were disturbed.

The violent storm suddenly erupted after a slight delay, sucking in Naruto's shadow clone in front and exploding into smoke before disappearing.

The swollen flesh all over the golem's body also began to reduce swelling.

Snapped!

The original outer skin exploded, revealing a brand new body, with limbs crawling on the ground, turning into a twisted creature with one eye and one ear.

It's like a snake creature shedding its skin.

The originally skinny body suddenly became extremely strong and burly under the infusion of chakra, losing the ferocious and twisted appearance before.

Nagato stood on top of the demon statue, now in the ten-tailed form.

He did not interrupt his chakra input, and felt that the Ten-Tails' chakra was gradually becoming more stable at this time, no longer going berserk and out of control, and he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

"Are we finally reaching the third stage? It's been a long wait, but then we can finally start preparing to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki. Victory is already close at hand."

The full moon in the sky was dyed scarlet at some point.

In the distance, Hei Jue looked up at the full red moon in the sky, silently.

Then he stared at Nagato's back, with a touch of coldness and ferocity in his eyes.

"The resurrection sacrifice is ready..."

◎

"This breath..."

The white stone standing above Ayane Usagi suddenly turned his head and glanced into the distance. The breeze blowing from there was filled with a familiar chaotic and violent atmosphere.

"It's the Ten-Tails. It seems like something unexpected happened in the situation over there."

Liuli also captured this chaotic aura that made the skin go cold. It was exactly the same feeling as when he faced the Ten-Tails before.

Shiraishi nodded.

"Ichiji's chakra also disappeared suddenly, but it seemed that she could sense some from time to time. It didn't look like she was seriously injured and weak... Could it be that she was trapped in some special space?"

Although confused, there was not much worry in Shiraishi's eyes.

After that, he stopped talking. Although he really wanted to go over and help, the battlefield here would be dealt with first. Otherwise, even if he went over, he would not be in a situation where he would be attacked from both sides.

The ground below was completely shattered after suffering Ayane's divine air attack, but no human figure was found in the pit, only a large number of broken wooden bars.

"Have you been rescued? It will really cause trouble for Mr. Shiraishi. Since you are a teacher, wouldn't it be better to accept the blessings from your disciples honestly?"

Ayane muttered dissatisfiedly, and her red eyes glanced in one direction.

Tsunade rolled on the ground, wrapped in a curved vine. After she stopped, she kept coughing. Although she was saved by Hashirama's Wood Release at the last moment, the aftermath of the divine air attack still caused

She suffered severe injuries, as evidenced by the large area of ​​red blood on the clothes on her chest.

Tsunade stood up from the ground tremblingly, with unyielding will shining in her eyes. She said nothing, but used medical ninjutsu to heal the injury on her chest, started to stop the bleeding, and healed the wound. Her face became rosier.

On the other side, the Fourth Raikage looked at the Third Mizukage and Terumi Mei who had sneaked up on them with angry expressions on their faces.

The angry words were almost forced out from between the teeth, with pain and disbelief.

"Why? Why do you do this? Are you still considered the Five Shadows like this?"

Although the Fourth Raikage didn't like to think, he didn't understand the current situation.

After the Third Mizukage decisively attacked Onoki, he suddenly understood one thing - that is, Kirigakure and the Alliance were not on the same page.

As for which side they are on, the answer is self-evident.

Facing the Fourth Raikage's accusations and questions, the Third Mizukage and Terumi Mei didn't say a word, their expressions were as calm as they were, and they gradually began to retreat.

Tobirama's face was gloomy. He had never calculated that there was such a huge flaw in the alliance army.

Mizukage, one of the Five Kages, turned out to be a traitor to the Alliance Army. Doesn't that mean that the Alliance Army's actions so far have all been carried out under the eyes of the Demon Country?

"Hey, Sandaime, Gandaime, you two have gone too far, haven't you?"

At this time, Onito Kanazuki suddenly shouted angrily, as if he was very dissatisfied with the sudden betrayal of the Third Mizukage and Terumi Mei.

This sentence made Tobirama feel a little relieved, at least not everyone among the water shadows was unreliable.

"You didn't ask me to join you when you betrayed me. Do you still think of me as the second generation Mizukage in your eyes? This is too much!"

Stretching out his index finger, Ghost Lantern Huanyue pointed at the two of them sternly and launched a question.

"..."

Tobirama's expression turned dark, he wanted to say something but couldn't. He had the urge to force the other person's soul back to the Pure Land.

"Teacher, you are currently in the state of reincarnation, so there is no point in calling you."

The Third Mizukage responded helplessly.

Ghost Lantern Huanyue's body froze, and then he realized that he was still in the state of reincarnation, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"That seems to be the case. To be honest, I have long seen that something is wrong with the Alliance Army. The five major ninja villages are so nasty to each other. How can they let go of their prejudices? When I came out, I learned that the Alliance Army was established. I almost laughed.

die."

"..."

"Speaking of which, besides you, are there any people in the Alliance Army who are sane? For example, the Raikage, Tsuchikage, etc... Well, no, that old boy Onoki has been killed."

Before Tobirama could speak, the Fourth Raikage was the first to retort, looking at Ghost Lantern Genzuki with murderous intent:

"I am the leader of the Alliance Army, how can I be a traitor! Second generation Mizukage, please keep your mouth clean!"

"Who knows this? That little girl was obviously so strong, but she only tore a piece of flesh on your chest, causing an injury that was not painful or itchy. Now that I think about it, isn't there a big problem here -"

"shut up!"

Tobirama glared at him angrily.

Ghost Lantern Huayue wanted to say something else, but her mouth immediately closed. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open it, so she could only stare back resentfully.

"When did you collude with the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

The Fourth Raikage's aura was so terrifying that he was clearly on the verge of going berserk with the most murderous aura, but he tried his best to restrain himself, so that his eyes became as terrifying as those of a ferocious beast.

"Of course from the beginning."

The one who answered the Fourth Raikage's question was not Mei Terumi, but Shiraishi on the other side.

"From the beginning?"

"It was already the case when the Third Ninja World War broke out. Therefore, Sir Raikage, please don't be too harsh on your 'allies'. Whether it is the Kingdom of Oni or Kirigakure, they are just completing their missions.

.”

Bai Shi smiled slightly, then changed the topic and continued:

"Besides, rather than delving into these things, it's better to worry about yourself, Raikage-dono."

"What?"

"Kirigakure is my ally. Do you think the northern defense line you set up at the Alliance Army Headquarters will be as stable as planned?"

The Fourth Raikage, Tsunade and others took a breath. Because of their anger, they did not think of these things, but now that they calmed down, they discovered an even more terrifying fact.

Stationed on the northern defense line of the Alliance Army Headquarters is Kirigakure's maritime force. Most of the ninjas are Kirigakure ninjas. Their captain is one of Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

The highest level of command.

In other words, if Oni Deng Mangetsu is also a Mizukage, then the northern defense line of the Alliance Army Headquarters is equivalent to a dummy, and the sea landing force of the Kingdom of Oni can directly join Kirigakure and directly attack the Alliance Army Headquarters.

Thinking of this terrible thing, both the Fourth Raikage and Tsunade had heavy expressions and deep uneasiness in their eyes.

"Even with Kirigakure's assistance, the Alliance Army has at least 70,000 ninjas, and you can't possibly swallow them up! Don't even think about misleading people here, we won't be fooled!"

The Fourth Raikage was categorical, as if stating the hard facts.

Even if this is not true, the Fourth Raikage will still believe it is true.

"A war of ninjas? Do you still think so? I hope you can maintain this sufficient confidence in the future."

Shiraishi smiled lightly.
