Trees Chapter 278 The Grudge of The Warm Patch

Hearing the strange noise, everyone looked to the side and found a yellow-haired man and a Konoha’s Shinobi wearing sunglasses standing next to Kakashi.

The Shinobi in sunglasses seemed to have forgotten his lines mid-shout. He fumbled around on his body for a while before pulling out a book.

He licked his fingers, flipped through the book for two seconds, and then continued yelling.

"The Land of Fire mourns its people's tears, the immortals wander... demons flee north!"

Uzumaki Stark really couldn’t stand watching this guy’s cringeworthy performance any longer, so he raised his hand and used his nano-armor to fire an energy cannon at him.

"Just use your ultimate move already!"

"Stop yapping!!”

"And one more thing…!"

"Turn off your broken speakers!"

After taking the energy blast head-on, Shino's eyes instantly cleared up.

Thanks to Uzumaki Stark’s efforts, the momentum of the Zerg disaster that this kid might have created was finally eliminated.

And together with him, he developed a new type of nano-insect.

Unlike Torune’s venomous nano-insects, Shino's nano-insects weren’t poisonous. Instead, they could devour, destroy, and even heal.

Facing the Terminators...

Uzumaki Stark could only say that Shino’s nano-insects were their natural counter.

Using nano-insects to dismantle the Terminators’ internal core structures was simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

Everyone turned their attention to the yellow-haired man. He had the same face as Naruto, with the only difference being that this Naruto looked about twelve years old and wore a pair of square-framed glasses.

Everyone instantly realized that this was one of Naruto’s shadow clones.

Kakuzu and the loyal Slacker Duo remained silent, fearing that their relationship with Naruto would be noticed by their leader.

Nagato’s eyes lit up for a moment upon seeing Naruto, but when he realized it was just a clone, his expression dimmed again.

"Shino, move out!"

At Uzumaki Stark’s command, Shino slowly stepped forward, positioning himself in front of the group.

He slowly raised his hand and faced the incoming puppet army.

Buzz buzz buzz…

In the next second, a swarm of black insects surged from his body, forming a large black cloud, and rushed straight forward.

The puppets on the other side seemed to sense the danger and immediately unleashed their attacks on the black cloud.

But even if the black cloud summoned by Shino was blasted apart, it would gather together again in a short while.

The silver tide of puppets collided head-on with Shino’s nano-insects.

Thousands of puppets were instantly engulfed by the dark swarm.

At first, no one could see any noticeable changes. But as time passed...

Everyone discovered that the puppets, which were previously invincible and had extremely abnormal recovery abilities, were completely helpless against the black insect swarm.

The black nano-insects clung to the puppets like an inextinguishable black flame, somewhat similar to the Amaterasu at first glance.

The liquid-metal puppets lasted less than three seconds against the nano-insects before their eyes dimmed and they collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, the nano-insects, having devoured the special materials from the puppets, gradually shifted in color from black to a metallic silver.

Clang, clang…

The sound of puppets dropping one after another echoed continuously, and everyone who saw this scene was shocked.

Especially Sasori and Deidara, both of them looked very serious, and they were still thinking with their heads down, ‘How can the puppets that we develop later counter such horrific means?’

"Th-That’s it? They’re... gone?"

Nagato, who stood beside Konan, mumbled to himself, looking a little dazed.

‘What the hell…’

‘Konoha, if you had this kind of trump card all along, why didn’t you bother using it sooner?!’

‘All this time, I’d been running around the Shinobi World reviving the dead like some kind of maniac.’

If not for the fact that so many people in the Shinobi World were his die-hard fans…

Nagato wondered if he would’ve even bothered spamming the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique so many times.

Obito, who was still kneeling on the ground, also fell silent when he saw this.

He feels really tired now.

‘Damn it!’

‘We’ve been fighting to the death...’

‘And these puppets were dealt with so easily?!’

Kakuzu even clutched his chest with both hands, looking like he was on the verge of hyperventilating.

His heart ached now!

An indescribable heartache!!

He had just bought a high-rise in the Land of Fire, along with several shops and properties.

Not to mention the fortune he’d spent on those premium storefronts from the Boss’s wife...

All of it are gone!!

"My money......."

"MY MONEY!!!"

Kakuzu's heart ached more the longer he thought about it. Glancing at the Konoha’s Shinobi standing nearby, he began wailing even louder.

‘No!’

‘I must ask the boss for more gold bricks this time.’

Remembering that Amegakure seemed to have been destroyed again, Kakuzu finally felt a lot better.

"Pressure desune~"

"Itachi-san, fighting alongside you again is truly nostalgic, desune~"

Kisame grinned, while Itachi kept his eyes fixed on Shino, deep in thought.

For some reason...

Itachi couldn't shake the feeling that ever since he left the village, Konoha's Shinobi had undergone an explosive increase in strength.

Back in his day, he'd never even heard of the Aburame Clan having such devastating offensive techniques...

‘Wait...’

‘What's this guy's name again?’

"Is it resolved?"

Kakashi turned his head to look at Uzumaki Stark and Shino.

He was starting to realize something.

Even Naruto's shadow clone was more reliable than the real one.

Just look at what this clone had accomplished, and then look at those two who ran off to who knows where… Moreover, they were likely the main suspects behind this whole crisis.

Kakashi couldn't help but think that Shino and Uzumaki Stark are really reliable!

"Done."

Uzumaki Stark nodded slightly and answered absentmindedly.

His eyes were always on Obito who was not far away...

The revenge for killing his father and mother, and sticking warm patches on me while he was a baby...

Even though he was just a shadow clone, he dared not forget for even a single moment!

Kakashi noticed Uzumaki Stark's gaze, and followed his gaze to find that the boy was looking at Obito.

He immediately understood what the kid was thinking.

Considering that the village finally has such a reliable and powerful yellow-haired man, Kakashi naturally would not let Uzumaki Stark face Obito alone.

"Um... Kakashi."

"Doesn't he have no Chakra left?"

Kakashi's eyes widened, and the usual lazy aura around him instantly dissipated, replaced by a faint murderous intent.

The two looked at each other, nodded, and walked towards Obito's position with a murderous grin.

"Uchiha Obito! F*** YOU!"

"Kakashi-sensei! Beat this dumbass to death!"

Uzumaki Stark had no awareness of being a shadow clone, nor was he worried about being dispelled by Obito.

He rushed to Obito before Kakashi, and the nano-armor on his legs spewed out blue flames, generating an extremely powerful thrust, and then he kicked Obito square in the face.

Bang…

A dull sound was heard, and Obito spun through the air like a ragdoll, and only stopped when he crashed into the walls of the Kamui Dimension.

After that, Kakashi and Uzumaki Stark rushed to Obito at the same time.

Then, the two of them started mercilessly punching and kicking Obito, who was lying on the ground.

Uzumaki Stark didn't forget to politely express his feelings while beating Obito.

"I’ll teach you to stick Explosive Tags on me!"

"I'll teach you to start the Kyubi Rampage!"

"F** YOU… ******…!"

Bang, bang, bang…

Kakashi listened to Uzumaki Stark's words without saying a word, but his punches and kicks grew even more vicious.

The Akatsuki’s members could hardly bear to watch as the two Konoha’s Shinobi bullying Obito.

While they know that the Kyubi’s Jinchuriki has a grudge against this Obito, but to bully him when he was out of Chakra...

"He’s still a member of our Akatsuki no matter what..."

"Is it really okay for us to just stand here and watch?"

The honest man Kisame couldn't take it anymore, so he turned around and asked the others.

Kakuzu, who is beside him, nodded, thinking that what Kisame said made some sense, so he rolled up his sleeves.

"That makes sense."

"I'll go up and give him a few kicks too."

When the Slacker Duo saw Kakuzu stepping forward, they exchanged glances and followed behind silently.
