Chapter 304: Eye of the Moon Plan is... Cancelled?

"Sasuke!"

Konoha ninja present saw the arrival of reinforcements.

Although Uchiha Sasuke's identity within the Root organization was confidential, these former classmates knew his identity before acting together.

Compared to these classmates, Uchiha Sasuke seemed to have the highest status. However, he had experienced things that no one else had, at least not to the extent of defecting to become a spy and carrying out the S-class mission of killing Orochimaru.

Of course, Uchiha Sasuke's strength was also the greatest!

"Sorry…" Uzumaki Naruto bowed his head and apologized.

Uzumaki Naruto was no longer the child he used to be. He now understood that as a ninja, it was unacceptable to lose vigilance and get caught off guard by the enemy.

"Forget it." Uchiha Sasuke shook his head and looked at everyone present. "You all leave first. The matter of killing this traitor will be handled by Root."

"…"

What was wrong with this student?

Why did he sound so much like an old member of Root now?

Wasn't this the kind of thing the Root ninja under Shimura Danzo used to do? Whenever they didn't want others to interfere, they would use Root's name to make other ninjas stand down.

Why had Uchiha Sasuke picked up this bad habit?

Was there something wrong with Root itself?

Did they habitually act arrogant?

"Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan has some quite bizarre abilities…" Hatake Kakashi frowned, advising his student seriously, "Sasuke, it won't be easy to capture him alone."

"Very easy." Uchiha Sasuke's lips curled into a cold smile. "I know exactly how to deal with him. Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei!"

"So, the victor of the brotherly battle was indeed you…" Uchiha Obito also smiled indifferently. "As expected, I guessed right. Itachi chose to be killed by you!"

"…"

Uchiha Sasuke found it hard to respond.

It wasn't his fault that Uchiha Itachi had intended to attack Uchiha Madara during their fight, only to be struck down by Madara, causing Itachi's severe illness to flare up and resulting in his immediate death.

"Sasuke." Uchiha Obito spread out his hand and continued leisurely, "So, do you want to know the truth behind the Uchiha clan's massacre?"

"I already know." Uchiha Sasuke casually drew his ninja sword, a hint of disdain on his face. "It was just for the power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan…"

Now, Uchiha Itachi was dead, and Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan was in his possession. The power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan now belonged to him.

Currently, Uchiha Sasuke only wanted to kill Uchiha Obito and, if possible in the future, awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan and transplant Uchiha Itachi's eyes.

Of course, if there was no opportunity to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan in the future, it would also be a good thing for him, as he would have no regrets in his life.

"What a completely ignorant child!" Uchiha Obito laughed. He already had a new plan in mind, intending to turn Uchiha Sasuke against Konoha on the spot and deliver a heavy blow to Hatake Kakashi!

These Konoha ninja thought Uchiha Sasuke was their reinforcement. With just a few words revealing the truth about the clan massacre, Uchiha Sasuke would turn his blade against them and become their enemy!

"Let me tell you the real truth!" Uchiha Obito's face suddenly turned cold and he spoke harshly, "Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, along with the higher-ups of Konoha, always wanted to annihilate the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan planned a coup to change the situation, but they were no match for Konoha's leaders. Uchiha Itachi killed the rest of the clan to save you, his younger brother!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Uchiha Sasuke's eyes suddenly turned cold.

This bastard…

What the hell was he talking about!

The Uchiha clan wasn't completely annihilated; many survivors were in Root!

The faces of the other Konoha ninja changed dramatically. They all sensed something amiss, especially Hatake Kakashi and Yamato, who were former members of the ANBU…

Because they knew very well…

At that time, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the higher-ups of Konoha was indeed quite tense.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a group of ninja wearing Root uniforms landed in the forest. They immediately spread out and surrounded Uchiha Obito.

Of course...

Uchiha Obito was not worried at all.

Because Akihara Kagura was one of them, and these Root ninjas were also on his side.

Uchiha Obito spread his palms and continued coldly: "To ensure your survival, your brother Uchiha Itachi chose to kill all the members of the Uchiha clan!"

"This was a deal between Itachi and Shimura Danzo. By killing all the Uchiha who wanted to overthrow the Konoha higher-ups, they allowed you to live. That day, I personally saw him deliver you to a safe place before using the Tailed Beast Bomb on the Uchiha grounds!"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke's face immediately showed rage!

The other Root ninjas exchanged glances, their expressions growing grim. If what Uchiha Obito said was true, then their relatives were merely sacrifices?

"I will kill you!"

Uchiha Sasuke swung his ninja sword, ready to charge at Uchiha Obito, cursing coldly: "If you don't know the truth, stop spouting nonsense here!"

"Obito… is partly correct."

A voice, both unfamiliar and familiar, reached Uchiha Sasuke's ears.

"Madara!"

Uchiha Sasuke turned abruptly to look at the newcomer!

It was indeed Uchiha Madara, but he seemed somewhat different; the marks of the Reanimation Jutsu had disappeared from his face.

"Madara!"

Uchiha Obito stared in disbelief at the approaching man!

Uchiha Madara ignored Uchiha Obito, landing in the area and slowly surveying everyone present. His gaze settled on Uzumaki Naruto.

"Hmm..."

Uchiha Madara nodded in satisfaction, feeling reassured upon seeing Uzumaki Naruto still there: "It seems I'm not too late..."

As long as Uzumaki Naruto hadn't been taken, it wasn't too late for anything.

However, while Uchiha Madara felt somewhat relieved upon seeing Uzumaki Naruto, the latter couldn't remain calm!

Boom!

The moment Uzumaki Naruto saw Uchiha Madara, a layer of red Tailed Beast Chakra cloaked his body, immediately covering him. The Nine-Tails' Chakra surged out from within, about to break through the seal!

Upon seeing Uchiha Madara, the Nine-Tails' rage erupted, intending to flood his will and completely transform him into the Tailed Beast!

Inside the sealed space.

The sinister and terrifying Chakra of the Nine-Tails recklessly eroded the seal, continuously invading Uzumaki Naruto's will: "Brat… hand over your body to me, kill that man..."

The hatred from once being controlled...

The Nine-Tails would never forget, and it wanted to kill Uchiha Madara!

"Nine-Tails!"

Yamato was startled, hastily clasping his hands together. Wooden planks emerged from the ground, pinning down the Nine-Tails, which had already grown four tails!

However...

It was useless!

The Nine-Tails' Chakra kept leaking out!

Perhaps due to Uchiha Madara's sudden appearance, the Nine-Tails' Chakra went berserk, beyond even Yamato's control!

"What is going on!"

Yamato gritted his teeth, saying in a low voice: "I can't hold it any longer. If its tails leak out further, only Lord Kagura can control it..."

The next second!

Yamato's wooden planks shattered!

A monstrous beast suddenly emerged from Uzumaki Naruto's body, rapidly growing a fifth, sixth, and seventh tail...

Clearly!

The Nine-Tails was trying to break through the seal completely!

The terrifying Chakra kept radiating outward!

Everyone present could feel the Nine-Tails' terror!

Uchiha Madara had just appeared, and the Nine-Tails went berserk. The Konoha ninjas were at a loss, not knowing what to do!

"First, seal the Nine-Tails."

Uchiha Sasuke gestured for the Root ninjas to help.

However...

Someone more adept at dealing with Tailed Beasts was present.

"Beasts are merely beasts…"

Uchiha Madara frowned, completely unconcerned with the rampage of the Nine-Tails. His eyes revealed the Sharingan as he calmly glanced at the Nine-Tails attempting to break through the seal.

Inside Uzumaki Naruto's seal space.

Naruto was still resisting the invasion of the Nine-Tails' chakra, trying to reclaim control of his body. The Nine-Tails, imprisoned within the seal, ignored him and continued to erode the seal with its chakra, seeking to seize control.

In the next second!

The immense chakra of the Nine-Tails suddenly dissipated.

A pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the seal space.

"This ominous eye power…"

The Nine-Tails within the seal cage immediately became even more enraged, attempting to release its chakra once more: "Uchiha Madara, it's you after all!"

"Calm down a bit."

Uchiha Madara's voice echoed within the seal space.

"You… bastard…"

The Nine-Tails' body collapsed heavily.

In the forest.

The chakra of the Nine-Tails on Uzumaki Naruto vanished without a trace.

The Nine-Tails, which was about to rampage and nearly break the seal, was instantly subdued and calmed down by a mere glance from Uchiha Madara.

"So strong…"

A trace of unease flashed across Hatake Kakashi's face.

The Nine-Tails, which once caused immense damage to Konoha, seemed like a mere toy in front of Uchiha Madara. What is this man's true purpose for appearing here?

"..."

The other Konoha ninjas were also somewhat panicked.

They saw Uchiha Madara's eyes and did not even dare to meet his gaze.

Only Guy, the Jonin of Team Three, was eager to try, still standing protectively in front of his subordinates, fearing they might be attacked by this unknown enemy.

No matter how strong the opponent is!

Guy will not back down!

However, Uchiha Madara had no interest in attacking them. After subduing the Nine-Tails, he felt slightly more relaxed.

"Finally, some peace."

"You've been revived?"

Uchiha Obito narrowed his eyes, observing Uchiha Madara.

Subduing the Nine-Tails with a single glance…

Only Uchiha Madara could achieve this.

The Eye of the Moon Plan hasn't been completed, and the tailed beasts haven't been collected. How has Uchiha Madara been revived? And fully revived at that!

Moreover…

His eyes…

Have they been restored too?

This guy…

I haven't even retrieved the Rinnegan from Nagato, nor experienced becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki to create an Infinite Tsukuyomi world…

And he's already revived!

"Thanks to that kid named Akihara Kagura…"

Thinking about his revival, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but clench his teeth, his voice cold: "To thank him, I'll give him a death like no other before…"

"What exactly is going on?"

Uchiha Obito frowned, his voice low: "Was it Akihara Kagura who revived you? Violating the plan without my consent, where is Nagato? Since you've revived and reclaimed your eyes, is Nagato already dead?"

"..."

Uchiha Madara glanced at Obito.

Obito, this guy…

What's his situation?

Does he still not understand the current state of the ninja world? During the time he was entangled with these Konoha ninjas, how much had that brat accomplished!

Moreover…

That kid, Akihara Kagura, had already completed his scheme, and you are still entangled here with these Konoha ninjas!

At this critical moment!

Still entangled with these Konoha ninjas!

Even claiming Akihara Kagura as one of your own!

This guy…

Why is he still stuck with these Konoha ninjas!

If Obito had put in a little more effort, the plan wouldn't have reached this point… although I might have ended up as Black Zetsu's pawn…

"Enough."

Uchiha Madara slowly shook his head and turned to walk towards Uchiha Sasuke, having more to say to him.

"Wait, what do you mean, enough?"

Uchiha Obito's frown deepened.

What does this guy mean?

What does he mean by enough!

At least explain a bit more clearly about the progress of the plan!

Uchiha Obito didn't quite understand Uchiha Madara's words, and questioned coldly: "Madara, now that you've been revived, are you planning to kick me out of the Eye of the Moon Plan!"

"..."

Uchiha Madara's footsteps involuntarily paused at the mention of the Eye of the Moon Plan. He turned back to glance at Obito, frowning slightly.

"Obito…"

A trace of indifference appeared in Uchiha Madara's eyes as he counter-questioned: "Do I need to spell it out more clearly? All thanks to you for recruiting that kid, Akihara Kagura, into our Eye of the Moon Plan…"

"Thanks to him…"

"The Eye of the Moon Plan is cancelled…"
