Chapter 89: Obito Arrives

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Figures darted swiftly through the mountains and forests.

It was Yagura and his group, rushing away from the Mist Village.

Obito had long known of Ishihara's base, so he headed straight for it.

Just one hour later, he and his men appeared not far from the base.

"Are you sure Ishihara is still inside the base?!"

Obito and Zetsu, clad in Anbu gear, stood beside Yagura and asked in a low voice.

"Yes. After Mei Terumi went in, she never came out. Ishihara must be inside."

Black Zetsu stated with absolute certainty.

Obito nodded; from here, only the base's main gate was faintly visible.

He took a deep breath and commanded Yagura to launch an attack.

"Then let's do it!"

"Such inhuman monsters should not be allowed to live!"

Boom!!!

A terrifying, evil, and immense chakra erupted.

Where Yagura stood, a colossal, savage mud turtle replaced him.

Immediately, this gigantic mud turtle raised its head, its grotesque mouth gaping open.

Vmm—

An eerie humming sound rang out.

A massive amount of chakra condensed within the Three-Tails' mouth, forming a sphere!

Tailed Beast Ball!!!

Whoosh!

Before the shocked eyes of the Mist shinobi in the rear.

The Tailed Beast Ball slammed into the small hill where the base stood, like an anti-aircraft cannon.

Boom!!!

Amidst the terrifying explosion, the entire small hill vanished instantly; 狂暴 energy formed a monstrous shockwave that swept outward in all directions.

The ground shook wildly!

Then came the sound of the explosion, loud enough to shatter eardrums!

The Mist shinobi clutched their ears in pain, staring at the mushroom cloud rising into the sky, their hearts filled with dread.

In that moment, they gained the most direct understanding of the Tailed Beast Ball's power!

Terrifying!

Destructive!

Unopposable!

"Mizukage-sama is too strong!"

"No matter who the enemy is, they are doomed!"

"Exactly. No one can withstand this strike head-on and survive!"

The Mist shinobi gazed狂热ly at the massive form of the Three-Tails, chattering excitedly without end.

But in the next instant, they were shocked.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Three-Tails did not stop attacking; it continued to unleash Tailed Beast Balls relentlessly!

The frenzied bombardment filled the Mist shinobi with dread.

Was one Tailed Beast Ball not enough?!

"Who exactly is Mizukage-sama fighting?!"

Obito stood not far beside the Three-Tails, his gaze fixed intently on the base.

He did not believe this would kill Ishihara and remained ready to launch an attack at any moment.

……

Inside the base.

The instant Yagura transformed into a Tailed Beast.

Ishihara and Orochimaru, who had already begun cultivating the Sage Body technique, immediately sensed that massive chakra quantity.

Ishihara instantly entered Lightning Release: Body Flicker Mode and, moving as fast as lightning, rushed into several rooms to bring out Kimimaro, Mei Terumi, and others.

Then, speeding like the wind and lightning, he reached the spacious training ground deep within the base and reunited with Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was already prepared; seeing everyone present, he immediately acted.

"Summoning Technique: Triple Rashomon!!!"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Accompanied by dull sounds, three grotesque, towering iron gates rose from the ground, enclosing the group within.

"What happened?"

Only then did Mei Terumi and the others react.

Ishihara peered through the thick earth toward the direction of the Three-Tails.

After cultivating the Sage Body, his perception abilities had been greatly enhanced.

At this moment, he felt the Three-Tails' location as if it were a massive chakra mass, dazzlingly bright.

"It's Yagura and the people behind him!"

Mei Terumi's face changed drastically, and she immediately grew tense. "How could they arrive so quickly?"

"No need to worry!"

Ishihara's expression was cold and sharp.

Obito coming to their door had not surprised him.

He simply hadn't expected the other party to arrive so quickly.

But Ishihara was not worried; the current Obito was incapable of killing him!

Just then.

Boom!!

A terrifying roar sounded.

Violent power transmitted through the ground to above Ishihara and the others; the base's ceiling began to tremble wildly, cracking, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Suigetsu and the others were so frightened their faces turned pale.

Ishihara looked up calmly, saying nothing.

Orochimaru's expression was cold and sharp.

This was the first time someone had come to attack his door; especially seeing the base on the verge of becoming ruins, his anger had reached its extreme.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The violent bombardment finally stopped.

"Although we evaded the enemy's attack, the underground where we are now is a bit too deep!"

Orochimaru's face looked somewhat ugly.

Ishihara said calmly, "It doesn't matter. Teacher, enter your Cursed Seal state and cast Earth Flow Sever together with me, using Sage Art!"

Ordinary ninjutsu indeed could not break through such a terrifying depth.

But Sage Art can!

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's eyes immediately lit up.

As the words fell, Orochimaru immediately entered Cursed Seal State Two.
