Chapter 539 Before the Next Dance

Chapter 539 Before the Next Dance

After quickly arranging for everyone to enter the village, the reanimated Second and Fourth Hokage, along with the living Third and Fifth Hokage, positioned themselves at the four corners of Konoha Village, activating the Four Red Yang Formation to deal with the incoming impact and simultaneously blocking all means of intrusion into Konoha Village except for space-time ninjutsu.

The impact of the three celestial meteors that fell to earth almost completely reshaped the terrain inside and outside Konoha Village.

However, the fourth and fifth meteorites that followed were still powerless against the Four Red Sun Formation, which was able to withstand the Ten-Tailed Beast Ball.

While ripples of light still lingered outside the village, the village itself remained as stable as a mountain, protected by the crimson light.

When Obito's figure appeared in Konoha Village through the Kamui dimension, Kakashi, Shisui, and Itachi immediately rushed to the scene.

Shisui showed great trust in the person who was the greatest contributor to preventing major losses outside the Konoha stadium area.

He immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is Ban?"

Obito said, "He voluntarily released the Edo Tensei and left."

"As the person who has actively broken free from the control, the caster cannot immediately detect this situation and immediately reincarnate him."

Obito held up a scroll in his hand.

"I obtained a sample of Madara's chakra, and now I can try to get ahead of him by resurrecting him and resealing him."

Upon hearing this, Shisui was about to go and fetch him.

Itachi swung his kunai even faster.

A severed arm flew up, and the scroll fell to the ground. The limbs of the Impure World Reincarnation, which should have turned into scattered fragments, instead became white limbs, rolling on the ground.

This "Obito" looked at the indifferent Itachi with a puzzled expression. Its disguise was flawless. Even though it was an Edo Tensei, it had all the necessary characteristics. Otherwise, Madara would not have released it to disguise itself as Obito.

As for Obito's habits, Zetsu, who had been with him for a long time, should not have revealed them in an instant.

Why?

It wasn't worried about its own life or death; it was simply curious.

Where did I give myself away?

Itachi flicked the sticky substance off the kunai in his hand.

"There are no flaws."

White Zetsu was even more confused: "What?"

"It was just a casual test. Obito is already dead; such an attack wouldn't harm him at all."

The scroll that rolled to the ground unfurled, and a black mass shot out from it, heading straight for Zhishui.

The skeleton of Susanoo immediately unfolded around Shisui, quickly stood up, and lifted him off the ground.

Kakashi and Itachi simultaneously dodged outwards, creating distance between themselves and the black mud.

Black Zetsu missed its target, fell to the ground, and quickly disappeared into the soil.

Space twisted into a vortex.

The real Obito emerged from inside, his eyes filled with struggle.

Neither Shisui, Ryo, nor Kakashi were affected. Obito forced a smile: "Your plan has failed."

At this moment, Black Zetsu emerged from underground, and Obito's left half of his body was occupied by it, causing the emotions in his eyes to become even weaker.

Madara scoffed, "You surrendered willingly, risked your life to deliver intelligence, and in the end, you didn't even earn a decent amount of trust. Obito, are you smug about something so trivial?"

"The fact that these three are here, coupled with that clumsy probing earlier, isn't surprising to me. It's just that I didn't manage to get those eyes."

He looked at the still water.

"Do you know why Uchiha Shisui is here? Obito."

"It's only possible that Tobirama Senju wanted you to use Shisui's eye technique as a final insurance after you were exposed, so that no matter what you were thinking, you wouldn't be able to cause any trouble."

Madara Uchiha looked at Shisui: "Am I right?"

Shisui remained silent; he was not good at lying. This was exactly Tobirama's plan; the Second Hokage had prepared multiple schemes.

Itachi said, "This is to ensure that our comrades can be freed."

Madara chuckled: "Oh, calling brainwashing liberation? You've learned a lot of sophistry from Senju, Uchiha Itachi."

""

Kakashi leaned against the roof: "The person who did this actually struck first? Uchiha Madara."

"Moreover, this is necessary for defense; the defense must be foolproof."

"Even if I were in the same situation, the scrutiny and vigilance I would face would not change."

"This is for the village, and for our comrades."

Madara looked at the three men with Sharingan eyes, his expression changing from mockery to boredom.

"This is the truth of the village, Hashirama. The darkness you left behind has ultimately swallowed up everyone in Konoha."

At this moment, Black Zetsu said, "Lord Madara, the Jinchuriki and the Hokage are all isolated and protected at the four corners of the Four Red Yang Formation."

The inability to control the water flow meant they couldn't break through this layer of defense.

"Hidden inside a turtle shell?" Madara chuckled.

Obito's body trembled uncontrollably as Kamui's chakra was activated, drawing Madara into the space.

Obito was forced to move with them, and his body was shattered in half during the process. The fragments of the Edo Tensei drifted in the air and then reformed within the Kamui dimension.

When the two reappeared in the ninja world, they were already standing on the high ground outside Konoha Village.

From here, the entire Hidden Leaf Village is shrouded in a crimson barrier, like a gem protected by a glass dome.

Ban stood on the edge of the cliff, her long hair fluttering in the wind.

Half of his Susanoo rose up. But this time it was different from before; blue chakra condensed around him, forming a shape with four arms in total, front and back.

Including Madara's main body, all three pairs of hands simultaneously began forming hand seals.

"Let's make this shell even thicker."

The black core rose from his palm, but this time it did not fly straight into the sky. Instead, it rapidly expanded and spread, encompassing the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

The Four Red Sun Formation, centered on the entire Hidden Leaf Village, trembled violently.

The barrier itself remained intact, but the earth, which formed its foundation, was rising upwards.

Tobirama Senju, who was maintaining the barrier, looked up: "What's going on—the ground is rising?!"

The sound of rock strata cracking came from underground, and the soil and rocks lifted the entire village into the sky.

Countless boulders flew in from all directions, enveloping the crimson barrier layer upon layer.

In just a few minutes, a colossal planetary meteor, enveloping Konoha Village, was formed in the sky.

The entire village was buried deep within the core of the sphere, while the Four Red Sun Formation became the last line of defense inside the sphere.

Obito spoke with difficulty: "Even if you do this, you won't get the Tailed Beasts."

Madara ignored him: "The ninjas of this era are not entirely child's play; there are some noteworthy figures."

"They've already returned to the ninja world, haven't they? Zetsu."

The Black Zetsu on Obito said, "Yes, Lord Madara, Shuji's chakra has appeared."

Madara Uchiha turned around, and the blue Susanoo dissipated.

"Then, let's take this as a gift."

"As the beginning of the next dance."

He stepped into Obito's Kamui dimension, and the two disappeared together into the spatial vortex.
