Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Chapter 117 Black Jue saves the earth

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Obito Uchiha were locked in a stalemate.

But Obito Uchiha understood that he was now at a complete disadvantage.

The reason he hasn't been dragged out of his soul by the Grim Reaper is because, in his ethereal state, his soul is still within the Divine Might Space.

But once the intangibility period ends, his soul will be pulled out of his body by Hiruzen Sarutobi and sealed inside the Shinigami's belly along with him!

Even though it was a mutually destructive outcome, he didn't believe that Hiruzen Sarutobi's life could be compared to his.

"What? Aren't you going to give it a try? Between this invincible eye technique and your life, which is more important?"

Seeing that Obito Uchiha remained silent, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke again, his tone carrying a seductive quality.

Obito Uchiha's expression under his mask had become quite ugly.

He originally thought that Minato Namikaze was invincible, but after this battle, he realized that the title of "Strongest Hokage" was not just an empty name.

The opponent's endless tricks and schemes plunged him into a complete dead end.

Although Izanagi has miraculous effects, it can turn things that happen to you for a period of time into things that never happened, and only turn things that are beneficial to you into reality.

But if he really used that eye, could he really escape from Fugaku Uchiha after losing his sight?

Moreover, he would absolutely not use this eye unless absolutely necessary, or until the very last moment before his death.

Kamui is his only trump card, a crucial asset that determines whether he can break free from Madara Uchiha and escape his fate as a pawn.

He was Obito Uchiha. Although he always called himself Madara Uchiha, he was never Madara Uchiha.

He didn't want to be a pawn of Madara Uchiha, but apart from this eye, everything he had came from Madara Uchiha!

This eye is his most important trump card.

When the Eye of the Moon plan is completed, he will make Madara Uchiha die completely, and then he will become the savior of this world and create a world where Rin exists.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot lose this eye.

But now he no longer has the ability to break the deadlock.

In order to break the Reaper Death Seal, it is necessary to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi, the caster.

However, Obito Uchiha himself must maintain his intangible state and is unable to launch an attack.

Fugaku Uchiha, who was standing next to him, might have also disliked Hiruzen Sarutobi, but now he clearly hated him even more.

For him, the best ending was for them to perish together.

As for Itachi Uchiha, Obito Uchiha understood very well why that guy chose to cooperate with him.

A guy who puts Konoha first would never help him.

Meanwhile, the Akatsuki organization...

His operation was a secret mission, and he had not informed Nagato and Konan of the specific details at all.

And putting that aside for now, even if the other side found out, they'd be happy for him to die here.

correct!

Obito Uchiha had a flash of inspiration.

There was another person who was with him tonight!

He was also the only person in the entire ninja world who might be able to save him.

Black Zetsu!

He is the embodiment of Madara Uchiha's will. If he still wants to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan, he will definitely help him!

only……

Does that guy really have that ability?

Obito Uchiha's mood sank again.

Four minutes had passed while I was thinking.

There's only one minute left before the blurring state ends...

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! You damned old bastard!"

Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze, which was like a cat playing with a mouse, Obito Uchiha couldn't help but curse out loud; he had completely broken down.

Time was running out, and with his limited intelligence, he couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock.

He raised his hands with difficulty, waiting for the divine power to end so he could find the right opportunity to unleash Izanagi.

"Heh, so you've finally made up your mind?"

Seeing Obito Uchiha's hands preparing to form hand seals, Hiruzen Sarutobi already knew that the other party had already decided to give up that eye.

Once the opponent loses this Mangekyou Sharingan and this troublesome space-time ability, even if they possess Wood Release, they won't pose much of a threat to Konoha.

There are differences even in Wood Release techniques!

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Obito Uchiha became even angrier.

Even many members of the Uchiha clan don't understand Izanagi, but Hiruzen Sarutobi, an outsider, knows it perfectly well.

It's all because of Tobirama Senju, that inherently evil old man Senju!

After the intangibility period ended, Obito Uchiha returned to his physical form.

The Grim Reaper's giant hand seemed to have finally grasped its target, and began to tug at Obito Uchiha's soul.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Feeling the pulling force, Obito Uchiha let out a roar of impotent rage.

He simply couldn't complete the last seal of Izanagi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also focused on pulling out Obito Uchiha's soul.

Fugaku Uchiha remained an observer, just as Obito Uchiha had thought: the best outcome for the Uchiha clan at present was for both of them to die together.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, the sound of flesh tearing apart rang out.

Everyone stared blankly at the black hand that had pierced through Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart!

……

Let's rewind to a few minutes earlier.

"What a useless piece of trash!"

"Obito Uchiha, you're a piece of trash!"

"Even a dying old man can drive you to this point!"

Black Zetsu, who had been following Obito Uchiha, used the Mayfly Technique to lurk underground and witnessed the entire process of Obito being brutally beaten.

Black Zetsu felt like the sky was about to fall.

He painstakingly cultivated a max-level account over several years, with all the best features, expecting a thrilling game, but he was instantly killed as soon as he entered the game.

Not only have all his cards been exposed, but he's also on the verge of death.

He's already preparing for the Fifth Shinobi World War before even getting ready for the Fourth Shinobi World War, isn't he?

He's starting to break down his defenses.

Even when Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed away, he wasn't this vulnerable.

He had considered running away to merge his mind with Obito Uchiha and fight alongside him.

But his strength is undeniable; even Fugaku Uchiha could beat him to a pulp.

What if he also has a Mangekyou Sharingan?

If Obito Uchiha were gone, he could wait; he'd already waited a thousand years. But if Obito himself were gone, then there would truly be no hope.

It's just that it's hard to find another tool like Obito Uchiha, who has high-level skills but no brains, and we can't give up on him easily.

Moreover, the current situation is not without opportunities; Black Zetsu is best at playing when he is at a disadvantage.

Battles between ninjas are intelligence wars.

Admittedly, Black Zetsu's direct combat ability is almost zero; any elite Jonin could easily crush him.

But his ability to open his heart is unparalleled in the ninja world.

At this point, jumping out to fight head-on would definitely lead to certain death.

He will outsmart them.

He was already slowly approaching Hiruzen Sarutobi in the shadows.

However, this would expose his unparalleled backstabbing ability in the ninja world.
