Trees Chapter 279 The False Savior

"Obito! You're dead!"

"Obito, it's over... Raikiri!"

Inside the Kamui Dimension, Kakashi and Uzumaki Stark used their killing moves at the same time.

After being pinned to the ground and beaten for a long time, Obito's eye had lost its luster.

He looked at the two quietly, as if he had accepted the fact that he was about to die.

And in that moment, he seemed to see Rin appearing before him....

‘Is this... the end?’

"Obito! Go!"

Just as their attacks were about to hit Obito, Black Zetsu emerged from the ground.

Before either of them could react, he possessed Obito's body and activated the Mangekyo to leave the scene...

…

The outside world…

Team 7, aka the ‘Savior Group’, arrived fashionably late.

Naruto and Sasuke stood in place, looking at the devastated battlefield and the surrounding buildings that had been destroyed beyond recognition, and fell into deep thought for a long time.

A cold wind swept by, carrying a chilling sensation, while the caws of crows echoed from above.

"I... I didn't come to the wrong place, right?"

"Where the hell is everyone?"

Naruto's eyes twitched, and he was starting to wonder if he had remembered the wrong place.

‘The buildings and environment matched, but...’

‘Where were the hordes of Terminators??’

‘I also couldn’t even see a single member of the Akatsuki!’

Sasuke stared at the scene with his newly-acquired six-tomoe Rinnegan for a while, and said uncertainly, "The traces of Chakra have not yet dissipated..."

"There must have been an intense battle here just now."

Sasuke paused, then hesitantly voiced his suspicion after a long while, "Leader... "

"Did they all die?"

For Sasuke, the top priority right now was ensuring the survival of the beloved leader of Akatsuki.

‘If Nagato died in battle...’

‘Then who the hell was going to revive my clansmen?!’

Sakura, who is standing behind them, pointed to the sky, and spoke with a strange expression, "Naruto..."

"Isn’t that thing in the sky your doing?"

Naruto turned his head and glared at Sakura, with words of rebuttal on the tip of his tongue, but when he saw the bizarre sight in the sky, he shut his mouth obediently.

Because...

Many red words suddenly appeared in the sky...

[DO NOT TOUCH. OR YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY WILL DIE, BECOME INFERTILE, AND YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL SUFFER FOR GENERATIONS.]

Somehow, these words were now floating in the air, and the font size was magnified to an absurd degree, making them clearly visible even from the ground.

‘Since when could Space-Time Rifts have a projection function?!’

"That’s not important!"

"A few words in the sky are better than the sky splitting open, right?"

"Let’s just find the others first!"

Naruto yelled loudly, even throwing in a ‘My senior brother is invincible, there’s no way he’d lose to some Terminators’.

He wasn’t worried about the Akatsuki’s members. After all, as long as his senior brother was around, nobody would really die.

What he is worried about now is that the Sage of Six Paths getting killed by Boruto...

Sakura and Sasuke were speechless after hearing this.

While a few words in the sky won’t cause any big trouble, but when they thought that from now on, every time people in the Shinobi World looked up, they’d see Naruto’s vicious curse...

That is too much.

"Let's look around first to see if we can find any clues."

Naruto felt that it was impossible for such a large number of Terminators to suddenly vanish, and it was even more impossible to wipe them out so quickly.

Sakura and Sasuke nodded in agreement.

Bzzt bzzt bzzt…

The three, who were about to leave, stopped immediately when the phone rang.

They also suddenly realized that they had not opened their phones to check messages since coming out of the Roran’s ruins.

It can’t be helped. The incident happened suddenly and they were already fighting since leaving the ancient kingdom of Roran.

Not only did they find a large number of Terminators, but they also saw Hidan planned to summon Boruto, so there is no time to take out their phones at all.

Naruto quickly searched his body twice and answered the call before he even had time to look at the caller ID.

“YOU DAMN BRAT!!”

"You better tell me you didn't cause those cracks in the sky!!"

The moment the call was connected, there was a furious roar coming from the other end.

Naruto instinctively moved the phone away from his ear and glanced at his teammates beside him.

He reacted very quickly and spoke immediately after Jiraiya finished speaking, "How is that possible!?"

"It certainly wasn't me!"

"Jiraiya-sensei, you’re accusing me unfairly."

Naruto thought that this Space-Time Rift was at most Shukaku's fault, or maybe Sakura’s, Sasuke’s or Mukade’s problem.

While he was indirectly involved...

He shouldn't be considered the mastermind, right?

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped, and then Jiraiya's smug chuckle was heard.

"Hey, hey, Tsunade, did you hear that?"

"I told you this incident has nothing to do with Naruto."

But after a brief pause, perhaps because of Tsunade's skepticism, Jiraiya asked Naruto to confirm.

"Naruto... why are you calling me 'sensei' all of a sudden?"

"Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"

Jiraiya couldn’t help but feel uneasy, after all, whenever Naruto acted polite, something disastrous was about to happen.

"Of course not!?"

"Jiraiya-sensei, how could you doubt me!?"

Naruto's tone was serious, but Sakura and Sasuke beside him clearly noticed that his expression and actions revealed his guilty conscience.

"Hahahaha... No, no, of course not."

"I was just double-checking."

Jiraiya laughed heartily a few times, and his heart finally settled down.

In fact, things hadn’t escalated into a complete disaster this time was largely thanks to the preparations Naruto had left behind.

Otherwise, Nagato will not be able to bring back the people who died this time from the Pure Land.

‘Hmm...’

‘Naruto really is a good kid at heart.’

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with his beloved disciple, Jiraiya casually mentioned that Konoha needed rebuilding and that Team 7 should return to the village soon.

As for why...

Of course, it was because they wanted to resurrect Hashirama and Tobirama through the Impure World Reincarnation.

After all, it was hard to say how long it would take for Yamato to complete such a huge project of rebuilding Konoha Village alone.

Along the way, they can also ask the two elderly people if they even wanted to be resurrected properly.

Anyway, Hiruzen had already made it clear that he didn't want to come back to life and continue to suffer even if he was beaten to death.

Since Orochimaru and Uzumaki Stark still hadn’t returned, Tsunade had no choice but to call Naruto, who had learned the Impure World Reincarnation, to return to the village.

Of course, the most important thing is...

Tsunade just didn’t feel safe with Team 7 running around outside. Every time they were out of sight, her heart raced with impending doom.

"Uh... well..."

Naruto was a little hesitant when he heard the white-haired old man's request.

He still hadn’t figured out whether the Sage of Six Paths had run into Boruto yet...

And he also doesn’t know where all those Terminators outside had gone to.

"What should we do now?"

Sasuke and Sakura both turned to Naruto, waiting to see if he’d keep searching or just head back to the village directly.

"Let’s look for clues first..."

Before Naruto could finish his words, the space in front of him began to distort.

Then, Kakashi, Uzumaki Stark and a Shinobi wearing sunglasses appeared in front of the three.

Uzumaki Stark was still cursing at this time.

"DAMN IT!"

"That bastard Uchiha Obito!"

"You white-haired slacker, why didn't you use Raikiri earlier!?"

"Tell me... wasn’t this entirely your fault?"
