Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed? Chapter 172. The Second Shinobi Allied Forces Assemble! (2)

This guy, Ōtsutsuki Toneri, was never heard from since that survival exam.

In addition, the most troublesome people in the shinobi world now were Akatsuki, who started the Fourth Shinobi World War; so, the people of the shinobi world had almost forgotten about Toneri.

Now that the name had reappeared, everyone’s expressions turned unusually ugly.

After all, knowing Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Ōtsutsuki’s Black Zetsu, even the slowest minds should understand what the name Ōtsutsuki stood for!

“He’s coming to play a part in this?”

The Fourth Raikage’s murderous voice suddenly sounded.

His hand tightly gripped, and the sounds of knuckles cracking could be heard.

“Why did he take the Byakugan?” At this moment, Ōnoki’s expression also turned as gloomy as the deep dark waters of the sea.

Akatsuki, Black Zetsu and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, coupled with this new appearance of Ōtsutsuki Toneri…

Enemy after enemy jumped out as the final battle was imminently approaching.

Until now, he didn’t even know who the ultimate enemy would be.

‘We’re going to war, not opening a surprise box!’

“Could he be trying to synthesize Jōgan or Tenseigan?”

Ōnoki speculated wildly, then shook his head in self-denial.

“Neither the Jōgan nor the Tenseigan should have the power to destroy the shinobi world.”

“And if Ōtsutsuki Toneri’s purpose is to evolve the Byakugan.

Then there’s absolutely no way that he would only steal one person’s eyes.”

“Patriarch Hyūga, is there any other news?”

Chiyo asked. At the moment, she didn’t know whether to feel fortunate or pathetic.

In a short period of time, all the other villages were attacked except for Sunagakure.

Only Sunagakure was spared.

‘Sure enough, even the enemy feels that there’s nothing worth taking!

Looking over to see that it was Chiyo who spoke, Hyūga Hiashi slowly shook his head.

He knew that Hyūga Neji used the reward from the exam space to restore his eyes and lost his mind. There was no need to tell everyone about these two things.

“What should we do in this situation?”

The Fourth Raikage looked at Senju Tsunade with a heavy gaze.

The latter was the General Council of this allied force. In this situation, her opinion was very important.

“Someone, get the staff officers here.”

Senju Tsunade looked dignified. She vaguely felt that there was some common link between the four shinobi villages being attacked at the same time.

But she couldn’t put a finger on it; this feeling made her extremely uncomfortable.

Especially now, the allied forces of 100,000 shinobi were waiting for her instructions.

The pressure was so heavy that she could barely breathe.

After all, against Akatsuki, those powerful and fearsome guys, and Uchiha Madara…

The cost of one wrong decision could be countless lives.

Especially now, if Ōtsutsuki Toneri was left alone, it was very likely that the lives of everyone in the entire shinobi world would be threatened.

Soon, Nara Shikaku and Mabui arrived. They knew what Tsunade had called them for, so they were straightforward and said:

“Tsunade-sama, I suggest that we attack Akatsuki first!”

Nara Shikaku said so. He had already discussed it on the way with Mabui. Right now, the most serious situation was Akatsuki, followed by Ōtsutsuki Toneri and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

After all, Akatsuki had decreed that all shinobi villages would be defeated within three days.

This was urgent!

Senju Tsunade gently rubbed her temples with both hands and didn’t say anything.

“And more importantly, we can only save Naruto and Sasuke if we defeat Akatsuki and gain the means to defeat Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.”

“So, the battle with Akatsuki takes precedence over other enemies!”

…

In Amegakure.

Uzumaki Nagato expressionlessly led Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Fugaku over to Naruto.

At this moment, Uzumaki Naruto was getting to know Namikaze Minato.

After Namikaze Minato admitted his mistake, Uzumaki Naruto forgave him.

Just as Namikaze Minato was about to persuade Naruto to return to Konoha, Uzumaki Nagato appeared.

“Nagato Aniki!”

Naruto waved excitedly. He really admired Uzumaki Nagato.

In both strength and thought, in his care for himself and his attitude toward the entire shinobi world, Uzumaki Nagato was greatly admired by Naruto.

Over this time, Uzumaki Nagato had become the closest person to him, apart from Uzumaki Kushina and Hyūga Hinata.

Even Namikaze Minato, who he had just met, was behind Nagato.

“Naruto, I have established the Land of Shinobi and declared war on all the other countries in the shinobi world.”

When Uzumaki Nagato saw Naruto, he went straight to the point without embellishing anything.

He believed that, after such a long period of study and indoctrination, Naruto would make the right decision.

But if Naruto chose to take Konoha’s side, he would also let the other party go.

However, he would be very disappointed.

That way, Uzumaki Naruto would become a short-sighted person in his mind.

“What??

Nagato Aniki!

You’re going to start a war!?

Why would you do that? It has to be in line with the principle conveyed to me…”

Hearing Nagato’s words, Naruto looked at Uzumaki Nagato in disbelief.

It was as if they were meeting for the first time.

“Patriarch Fugaku, please.” Uzumaki Nagato gently said.

Then he opened a path for Fugaku while moving aside, revealing Uchiha Fugaku behind him.

“Okay.”

Uchiha Fugaku nodded and stepped forward toward Uzumaki Naruto.

Uzumaki Kushina knew what Uchiha Fugaku was going to do, moved slightly on her feet, and came to Naruto’s side.

Fugaku turned to look at Uzumaki Nagato, saw the other party nodding gently, then said:

“Don’t resist.”

After saying that, the pattern in his eyes suddenly turned, and Naruto and Kushina were instantly immersed in an Illusion Technique.

This wasn’t the first time that they had entered the Illusion Technique voluntarily, so they were familiar with everything.

It’s just that when the two saw the scene in the dreamland before them, all the hairs on their body stood on end, and the blood in their body felt as if it solidified, causing them both to freeze instantly.

“What are you doing to them?”

Namikaze Minato’s body flickered and instantly appeared in front of the Uzumaki mother and son, blocking them behind him and gazing at Uchiha Fugaku and Nagato coldly.

“Shut up!”

“If you dare to wake them up, I’ll kill you!”

Uzumaki Nagato’s body moved. In the next second, his right hand moved like a claw, gripping Namikaze Minato’s face.

The little finger of his right hand even stabbed along the crack on Namikaze Minato’s face.

‘Fast!’

‘Uzumaki Nagato is too fast!’

Namikaze Minato looked at Uzumaki Nagato in shock.

Although this Impure World Reincarnation technique greatly reduced his reaction speed, being able to catch before he could react revealed Uzumaki Nagato’s power.

And, to add to Namikaze Minato’s shock, he was now clearly in an Impure World Reincarnated state, but Uzumaki Nagato gave himself a sense of:

‘If I’m killed by him now, I won’t be brought back by the Impure World Reincarnation technique.’

Considering that Kushina had taken the initiative to bear Fugaku’s Illusion Technique and that he didn’t feel any killing intent from the two people opposite him, Namikaze Minato gave up the idea of fighting back.

Seeing that Namikaze Minato didn’t resist, Uzumaki Nagato coldly withdrew his hand.

As they parted, behind Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Naruto and Uzumaki Kushina woke up from the Illusion Technique.
