Chapter 561: Launching Obito Towards the Divine Wood Star, Distribution of Two-Person Teams
One day later, everyone having eaten and drunk their fill and adjusted their condition, they began discussing how to fight this upcoming clan extermination battle.
"Our flying vessel should not get any closer. Otherwise, there is a risk of being discovered. After all, every member of the Otsutsuki clan has the Byakugan. There's no guarantee some high ranking Otsutsuki, idle and bored, won't activate their Byakugan and happen to see us. The danger coefficient would be very high then..."
Everyone sat on the sofas discussing strategy and tactics. The first problem they had to solve was how to land on the Divine Wood Star stealthily.
"I suggest using the Impure World Reincarnation of Isshiki. Have him use 'Sukunahikona' to shrink himself and then hide on a meteor, thereby secretly passing through the Divine Wood Star's atmosphere." Orochimaru stated his battle plan.
However, his tactic did not gain Ryun's approval.
"That's too risky... The Otsutsuki clan has a Female High Priestess who permanently resides on the World Creation Divine Tree. This high priestess has extremely sharp perception. Even if Otsutsuki Isshiki shrinks himself, his chakra fluctuations are relatively noticeable. I think it would be very difficult to evade her perception..."
Based on partial memory information from Otsutsuki Mitoshi, Ryun already knew of this Female High Priestess's existence. Therefore, in his view, Orochimaru's plan was very risky.
"I suggest using the Impure World Reincarnation of Obito. If he can successfully infiltrate the Divine Wood Star, given the current spatial distance, our Kamui can resonate and connect!" Ryun stated his own idea.
"Obito... Can he do it..." Minato asked with a look of surprise. Obito was his student, also notoriously unreliable. Minato instinctively felt he couldn't do it...
"He can. I plan to do it like this..."
Ryun explained his idea. After hearing it, everyone's eyes lit up, and they subsequently all expressed no objections.
Not long after, Ryun, Orochimaru, and Uchiha Obito, the three of them appeared simultaneously in space.
Ryun raised his hand, using the Rinnegan's gravitational power to pull over a small meteor the size of a football field. Then he dug a pit in it, and buried Uchiha Obito, who had multiple anti perception seals placed on him, inside the pit.
After repairing the meteor crater, Ryun then reinforced the entire meteor, making it harder than steel.
He stuffed Obito inside it. At this moment, not only would the Otsutsuki clan's Byakugan be unable to see the enemy, even Ryun found it difficult to sense Uchiha Obito's presence!
"Looking at it this way, it is indeed more concealed than a shrunken Isshiki." Orochimaru said with a smile.
An Impure World Reincarnation body inherently has no life fluctuations. Combined with the multiple seals, Obito hiding inside the meteor basically had no possibility of being sensed by the enemy.
After confirming there were no flaws, Ryun used the Rinnegan's repulsive force to directly push the meteor towards the Divine Wood Star.
"Your repulsive force, plus the Divine Wood Star's own planetary gravity, the descent speed of this meteor will be greatly increased. Won't that seem somewhat abnormal when the time comes?" Orochimaru looked at the rapidly receding meteor, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat grave.
"It should be fine... Fast-flying meteors are not rare in the universe. As long as no one senses Obito, they most likely won't pay attention to this meteor." Ryun explained with a smile.
"Mmm, I hope so."
An Impure World Reincarnation body can ignore most damage. Obito hidden inside the meteor would definitely be burned to ashes or smashed to powder due to the rapid descent.
But as long as he is given some time, Obito can rely on the Impure World Reincarnation characteristics to completely recover. By then, he would have successfully landed, and Ryun's group could also reach the Divine Wood Star silently and directly through the Kamui dimension!
This was Ryun's invasion plan. It seemed quite perfect, but actually there was a slight possibility of discovery. That is if the meteor happened to land within the Ōtsutsuki clan's territory, or right next to the World Creation Divine Tree...
In that case, Uchiha Obito would have a slight chance of being discovered...
Of course, if such unlucky circumstances really occurred, the Ōtsutsuki clan would first take action to destroy the meteor, not letting it successfully land and cause damage to their territory or the World Creation Divine Tree. At that time, as long as Orochimaru did not let the smashed-to-pieces Obito recover, it would be as if the tool man Obito never came...
"Do you want to take a distant look at the Divine Wood Star?" Orochimaru proactively handed the large telescope in his hand to Ryun.
"No need to look. Some keenly perceptive fellows can sense something even if they are glanced at from afar."
Ryun shook his head, then directly took Orochimaru back to the Kamui dimension.
"Daddy, how did it go?" Nanaise proactively came forward to ask.
"No problem. Now we just wait for Obito to land..."
Having temporarily solved the infiltration problem, Ryun's group began discussing matters after entering the Divine Wood Star.
"To prevent everyone being 'wiped out in one go', I suggest we operate in dispersed groups using the Akatsuki organization's two-person team configuration!"
Ryun took out paper and pen, started writing everyone's names on the paper, and assigned them into pairs.
"Nanaise, you team up with Guy. Sasuke, you team up with Kisame. Minato, you team up with Hidan. Deidara, you team up with Kaguya..."
"Wai... wait... Boss, I want to team up with Brother Sasori. We are old partners, we have tacit cooperation between us..." Hearing he had to team up with a woman, Deidara hurriedly spoke up in opposition.
"You and Sasori both don't know space ninjutsu. If you unluckily encounter a relatively strong enemy, it's likely it would be hard for either of you to escape safely..." Ryun helplessly explained.
The configuration he proposed ensured at least one member in each team who had mastered spatial abilities. With such a setup, if they really encountered danger, they could also perform a rapid and thorough retreat.
"Boss, you said first we should focus on gathering intelligence about the enemy, not fighting for now. So we probably won't need spatial abilities for escaping either..." Deidara quietly retorted.
"If we are careful, there should be no problem..."
Sasori of the Red Sand also spoke up at this time.
"Alright..."
Seeing the two bromance buddies insist on staying together, Ryun could only helplessly agree.
The expedition force intended to first ascertain the enemy's specific situation, then assign combat missions based on that. So for now, they would not actively clash with the Ōtsutsuki clan.
"Since Deidara wants to team up with Sasori, then the Impure World Reincarnation bodies don't necessarily need to be paired up. Sensei, you can control a few to collect intelligence as you see fit...
However, the Transformation Technique for the Ōtsutsuki clan members must be done properly. If they are carelessly recognized, then it won't be fun... Or simply don't use those Ōtsutsuki either, since it's just collecting intelligence, not fighting..."
Hearing Ryun's instructions, Orochimaru nodded solemnly. "I understand. If it's just collecting intelligence, then indeed there's no need to mobilize Kaguya or Isshiki and the others, to avoid everyone being exposed because of it..."
"Mmm, you handle it as you see fit!"
Ryun always trusted Orochimaru to handle things.
"What about me? Did you forget about this great one???" The big Old Black, lying not far away absorbing Tenseigan energy, spoke up.
"You... You want to go too..."
"Of course, this great one can also transform." The Black Dragon said, transforming back into the Crooked Mouth Dragon King.
"Fine... If you want to go, then follow my elephant-transformation clone and act together..."
