Obito’s Trump Card to Turn the Tables!

"Heh heh, this old woman has dominated the ninja world for decades. How could I be swayed by a few words from a brat like you?"

Chiyo wrapped her swimsuit tighter around herself, looking ready to die rather than submit. The sight gave Obito a splitting headache.

Just as the standoff continued, the ground suddenly writhed, and Zetsu emerged from the earth.

His bizarre half-white, half-black appearance looked even more sinister in the dim light. One look was enough to tell he was up to no good.

Zetsu exchanged a look with Obito, conveying malice that only the two of them understood. Obito gave a slight nod, then looked at Chiyo and said coldly, "I’m taking you somewhere."

With that, he activated his technique and vanished from the spot along with Chiyo, whose Chakra had been sealed and who could not move.

When they reappeared, they had arrived at the Sunagakure camp.

The camp now resembled ruins ravaged by war, a complete mess.

In the distance, a fierce battle was underway.

The Chakra blades in Asuma’s hands blazed with scorching fire as he swung them at Baki again and again, every strike sending out a powerful wave of heat.

Kurenai Yuhi stood nearby and unleashed Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death. Baki’s eyes narrowed as he hurriedly controlled his puppets to block it.

Not far away, Kakashi dragged along his still-unhealed body. Seizing an opening, blue-white lightning flashed from the Chidori in his hand. "Chidori!" He rushed at a Sunagakure ninja in an instant, and the man was struck by lightning before he could evade.

Choza Akimichi’s body swelled dramatically as he transformed into a massive ball of flesh and charged through the Sunagakure ninja ranks. Wherever he went, ninja were sent flying. Shikaku Nara stood in the rear, calmly observing the battlefield and using the Shadow Imitation Technique to control the enemy’s movements. Inoichi Yamanaka used the Mind Transfer Jutsu to invade the enemy’s minds, throwing them into chaos and making them slaughter one another.

In the distance, Kazekage Rasa was forced back step by step under Tsunade’s relentless advance. "Magnet Release: Gold Dust Technique!"

In an instant, the sandy ground beneath Tsunade’s feet flared with golden light. Countless tiny grains of gold dust burst from underground like a golden swarm of ants, rapidly gathering and coiling around her in an attempt to bind her.

Tsunade’s expression turned cold as Chakra surged wildly around her. She shouted, "Get lost!"

Her fists slammed into the ground. A visible shockwave spread outward from her, blasting the gold dust that sought to restrain her in every direction and smashing a huge crater into the earth!

Seeing this, Rasa’s eyes flashed with surprise. But his years of combat experience allowed him to swiftly adjust his tactics. His hands moved again, controlling the surrounding gold dust as it condensed into several enormous golden pythons. Their bodies gleamed with a cold metallic sheen, their gaping maws lunging at Tsunade.

Tsunade moved nimbly, twisting aside with ease. The golden pythons missed and crashed heavily into the ground, kicking up great clouds of sand dust.

Taking advantage of that opening, she charged toward Rasa at high speed.

"Want to get close? It won’t be that easy!" Rasa snorted coldly, and a sturdy shield made of gold dust instantly formed before him.

The gold dust particles on the shield’s surface were packed tightly together, reflecting an icy gleam.

Tsunade did not pause in the slightest. Her right fist, wrapped in powerful Chakra, slammed directly into the shield.

"Boom!" With a deafening crash, cracks spread across the gold dust shield under Tsunade’s monstrous strength. It then shattered with a bang, turning into golden fragments that filled the sky.

Rasa used the force of the impact to swiftly retreat and widen the distance.

Even so, Rasa still refused to back down. "Fifth Hokage, you may possess tremendous strength, but amid my endless gold dust, you will ultimately find victory impossible!"

Rasa raised both hands high, gathering a massive amount of Chakra. "Magnet Release: Gold Dust Imperial Funeral!"

The gold dust throughout the entire camp seemed to be controlled by an invisible giant hand, churning violently and surging toward Tsunade. In the blink of an eye, it formed a massive golden tomb, burying her completely!

"It’s over." Rasa panted slightly, but a trace of proud satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

However, in the next moment, an angry roar came from within the golden heap. "It’s far from over!"

The golden tomb shook violently. An arm radiating pale green light reached out from the gold dust, followed by Tsunade forcing her way out through the gold dust with sheer brute strength.

Her hair was somewhat disheveled, and golden grains clung to her clothes, but her eyes burned with the flames of battle, unwaveringly resolute.

"You damned woman!" An ominous feeling surged through Rasa’s heart at the sight. He hurriedly strengthened his control over the gold dust, trying to launch another attack.

But Tsunade would not give him that chance. She took a deep breath, and the Chakra throughout her body reached a terrifying peak.

"Strength of a Hundred Seal!" A diamond-shaped mark appeared on Tsunade’s forehead!

Feeling that overwhelming pressure, Rasa’s face grew grave. He immediately controlled vast amounts of gold dust to form layers upon layers of defensive barriers before him, stacked tightly and solid as rock.

Tsunade charged at Rasa, raising her right fist high before bringing it down with world-destroying force.

"Bang!" Tsunade’s fist collided with the gold dust defenses in an earth-shattering explosion. The outermost layer shattered instantly, scattering gold dust everywhere. Then came the second layer, then the third! Before the monstrous strength enhanced by Tsunade’s Strength of a Hundred Seal, Rasa’s prized gold dust defenses were as fragile as paper.

Rasa was horrified. He wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. Tsunade’s fist struck him hard with overwhelming force!

Rasa was sent flying and crashed headfirst into a pile of sand and rocks. He struggled to rise, only to discover that every bone in his body seemed to have fallen apart. The intense pain nearly robbed him of consciousness.

As he watched Tsunade gradually approach, his heart filled with unwillingness. Yet he had no choice but to admit that he had been defeated in this clash of titans.

Just as Rasa was subdued here, Jiraiya, having entered Sage Mode, had also beaten Shukaku so badly that he could not lift his head, with the help of Gamabunta, Might Guy, and several elite members of the Sarutobi Clan.

Chiyo looked at the chaotic, brutal scene before her, and her heart clenched in pain!

Konoha had already come knocking at their door! She had never expected this.

Thinking of the peerless expert Uchiha Yu within Konoha, Chiyo knew Konoha would surely claim total victory in this battle.

When that happened, Sunagakure, and even the Land of Wind, would become the defeated side. The quality of life for the people and villagers would only decline again and again.

They could barely afford food or clothing even now. If they lost…

Chiyo did not dare think any further.

Obito snorted coldly. "Let me tell you another piece of news that probably won’t make you feel very good."

Chiyo looked bewildered as she turned back toward Obito. "Sasori of the Red Sands was killed by Konoha’s Uchiha Yu."

"W-What!?"

Chiyo could actually accept Sunagakure’s defeat.

After all, Sunagakure was already at the end of its rope. Even if they joined forces with the Akatsuki, against a Konoha overflowing with talent, it was hard to say who was stronger.

But the death of her grandson Sasori was what Chiyo had never anticipated!

She had spent her entire life preparing the Forbidden Jutsu, Living Corpse Reincarnation, intending to revive Sasori’s parents and make up for his regrets, hoping he would change his mind and return to Sunagakure.

But now, her grandson had simply died.

Watching Jiraiya descend from the sky and knock Shukaku down with a Sage Art: Super Big Ball Rasengan, Chiyo angrily rebuked Obito. "So you want this old woman to sacrifice herself and revive Sasori of the Red Sands? Let me tell you, impossible!"

"No, no, no." Obito shook his head. "Whether Sasori lives or dies would have a negligible effect on the entire Ninja World War. I want you to revive"
