Uchiha Obito yelled a few times before he noticed that Hatake Kakashi and Namikaze Minato were already next to him. He looked at Kakashi with a confused expression and asked, “Kakashi, why aren’t you cheering for Tonan?”
Kakashi was dumbfounded for a moment and felt a little embarrassed. He then took a deep breath and shouted along with everyone else, “Tonan, you can do it!”
……
Ding! Gained Sarutobi Jushin’s acknowledgment. Ding! Gained Aburame Chigau’s acknowledgment. Ding! Gained Sarutobi Kitaku’s acknowledgment. Ding! Gained Kurama Shi’s acknowledgment. Ding! Gained Shimura Tohito’s acknowledgment.
……
Listening to the continuous system prompts coming all at once, the strength in Tonan’s hands became even stronger. After activating the Sage Mode, he had a boost in all aspects and he was practically holding Sandaime Raikage down.
That being said, Sandaime Raikage’s Lightning Style Armor was a bit too hard and difficult to deal with. Even if Tonan hit him several times, he was unable to break through Sandaime Raikage’s defense. In just a few breaths, the two of them had already collided innumerable times.
Sandaime Raikage seemed to feel that he was in a disadvantageous situation. Therefore, he immediately gave up the defense, and looking for an opportunity, he uppercut Tonan’s chin from bottom to top.
Tonan, however, opened his right fist, turning it into a palm, and blocked the oncoming punch. But under the effect of the repulsive force, he was sent flying.
Now! Sandaime Raikage had already calculated where Tonan would land in an instant. Then, the electric current covering his right hand suddenly surged, and at the same time, he shouted, “Hell Stab – Four-Fingered Crossbeam Hand!”
In the next moment, Sandaime Raikage turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed towards Tonan’s landing point as per his calculation. In the mid-air, Tonan’s Mangekyo Sharingan began to spin rapidly and his dynamic vision was enhanced to the extreme.
The entire world seemed to have paused in his eyes. The sounds of wind, lightning, and cheers seemed to have disappeared. And everyone’s movements and expressions were frozen. The only people that were moving in the entire world were him and Sandaime Raikage.
At the same time, the Raikage’s speed was just about the same as that of an ordinary ninja while using the Body Flicker Technique. And the timing of the attack was perfect. Since that was the case…
“Ha!” Just when Tonan was about three meters away from the ground, he suddenly opened his mouth and let out a breath. The powerful air current immediately interrupted his momentum and the entire person seemed to be stuck in the air at this moment.
And Sandaime Raikage’s Four-Fingered Crossbeam Hand just happened to arrive at that time, stabbing the empty air. Damn! The Raikage’s pupils shrunk suddenly and in the scene that reflected in his eyes, a figure slowly entered his field of vision. “I’m using all my strength. I can’t retract it!”
The corners of Tonan’s mouth rose slightly and he kicked Sandaime Raikage heavily. Bang! The huge smoke and dust rose and it was unknown how many unlucky Cloud ninjas were killed. Everything happened in an instant. Most of the ninjas couldn’t even see the process of the Raikage flying backward.
“Father!” ‘A’ roared and rushed into the cloud of smoke and dust. Killer B also stopped rapping at this time and rushed in with him. As for Tonan, he gently landed on the ground but he didn’t follow up with his attack. He just proudly stood in his place and stared straight at the center of the smoke and dust cloud.
The scene was silent for a moment. In the next moment, the Leaf ninjas shouted frantically as if the pot had been blown up.
“We won!” “Long Live Tonan-kun!” “Long Live Tonan-kun!” “Tonan-kun is the strongest!”
Ding! Gained Sarutobi Ichiro’s acknowledgment. Ding! Gained Shimura Junsuke’s acknowledgment. Ding! Gained Sarutobi…… Ding! Ding!…
He gained too many acknowledgments, causing the system prompts to overlap once again. After a long time, the dust and smoke dissipated.
With ‘A’ and Killer B’s support, Sandaime Raikage walked to the front of the Kumo battlefront. When they saw that the Raikage was still alive, Konoha’s side stopped cheering.
“Prepare for battle!” Minato shouted, and the Leaf ninjas took battle stances one after another. Under normal circumstances, at this moment, Tonan should rush forward to deal with the injured Sandaime Raikage.
Then, Konoha’s morale would soar, and they would be able to annihilate the Kumo army in one fell swoop, seizing this war’s victory. But for Tonan, the main purpose of today’s battle was to just set up his character and show off. He had no intention of killing Sandaime Raikage.
At this time, Suna had already lost most of its combat power and it was about to announce its surrender. If Kumo was also defeated here, then Konoha, with its morale soared, wouldn’t need him. Konoha would be able to deal with both Iwa and Kiri without him.
This, however, was not beneficial to Tonan’s follow-up plans. Only with sufficient external pressure, could he maximize his benefits.
Uzumaki Kushina must return to Konoha to ensure that she would be safe enough to give birth to Naruto smoothly in the future. Obito had to be buried to death so that he would have the opportunity to come into contact with Uchiha Madara, and also get Madara’s guidance along the way. And Nohara Rin must die so that Obito could awaken the Kamui.
Tonan didn’t know if the butterfly effect would change their fates. But it didn’t matter as long as the war didn’t end. If they didn’t follow the original tragic trajectories, he didn’t mind being a behind-the-scenes helper and pushing them into the abyss.
If the worst came to worst, he would just pretend to be a Stone ninja to bury Obito to death, and then give the Three-tails to Rin as well.
