Chapter 328 - 328: Obito’s Big Plan... and a Hole in His Chest"What are you trying to do, Madara?!"
Hashirama's expression turned serious as his hands flew through a flurry of hand seals. He pushed his chakra to the absolute limit.
"You'll see soon enough."
As Uchiha Madara poured chakra into the Ten Tails, its form began to shift once again. A terrifying aura spread through the air like a creeping fog.
"What's going on?" Naruto couldn't help but ask. "Something's not right. This feeling... it's way too strange."
"Naruto, are you okay?" Minato asked gently.
"Dad, it's not me," Naruto murmured, placing a hand over his stomach. "It's the Nine-Tails. He's uneasy... it's like he's scared."
"Nonsense!"
The Nine-Tails roared from within Naruto, "I am the mighty Nine Tails! Me? Afraid? Brat, if you keep spouting nonsense, I'll—"
Naruto rolled his eyes. "Don't forget, we've linked before. I can feel your emotions now too. Who are you trying to fool?"
He wasn't the least bit afraid of the Nine-Tails.
Nine-Tails: "..."
This is why I didn't want to work with you.
And seriously, what kind of phrasing is 'linked before'? That's just weird.
[Rumble...]
By now, the Ten Tails had completed its transformation.
It had turned into a tree—an enormous, motionless tree rooted firmly into the earth.
"What... what is that?"
Everyone watching widened their eyes in disbelief.
How could a massive tailed beast suddenly become a tree?
"Big brother!"
Tobirama stepped up beside Hashirama and whispered, "Do you remember that old legend?"
"Which one?"
"...You forgot something that important?! The one about the Sage of Six Paths! I told you to memorize it!"
Hashirama scratched his head and gave a sheepish laugh.
"Second Hokage, what's going on?" Minato asked on behalf of the others.
Tobirama glanced around and said gravely, "It's a long story, but to put it simply: when the Sage of Six Paths sealed the Ten Tails long ago, it was recorded that a God Tree appeared. I didn't think... I didn't expect the Ten Tails itself was that tree."
"That's it?"
"It's ancient history. Most of the records are lost, and clearly someone didn't want this knowledge passed down."
Tobirama's tone carried deep frustration. He'd combed through countless scrolls and ancient texts for his forbidden jutsu re
Reaching this point had come at an immense cost.
So many people had been sacrificed along the way.
Deidara was severely injured—no one knew where he was hiding now. Just recently, White Zetsu managed to recover one of his arms.
Kisame was besieged by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and perished along with two of them.
Sasori... had died in battle.
Killed by Chiyo. Of course, Chiyo died as well.
Konan had defected.
Nagato and Jūzō Biwa had been killed—by him.
Just moments ago, Orochimaru clashed with Jiraiya and Tsunade in a final, desperate confrontation. The outcome remained uncertain.
Only Hiruko seemed to have escaped.
"So many lives lost..."
Obito muttered under his breath.
"What about your choice, Obito?"
Obito stared at Kakashi and Guy for a long time before responding in a low voice, "...Begin the operation."
"Understood."
Black and White Zetsu immediately vanished into the ground.
"What are you trying to do, Obito?"
Kakashi's expression hardened. "What more can you possibly do?"
The White Zetsu army had already been wiped out.
A few stragglers had escaped, but they posed no real threat.
The Bloodline monsters had all been personally eliminated by Fugaku.
The Edo Tensei resurrected shinobi had each been sealed away.
The Akatsuki—those who hadn't fallen in battle had deserted.
This war had dragged on to the bitter end.
Now was the time to capture Obito alive.
Now was the time to seal away Uchiha Madara.
It was time for everything... to end.
"Heh..."
Obito let out a cold chuckle.
"Kakashi... did you really think this was all I had? You were wrong. I haven't even revealed my trump ca—ghk!"
Before Obito could finish, a violent cough burst from his throat—followed by a mouthful of blood.
Clutching his chest, he looked stunned, disbelief etched across his face.
"Obito!" Kakashi cried out.
Guy grabbed his shoulder and said in a low voice, "Don't move. It could be a trap—we haven't done anything to him."
Kakashi was just about to reply when his eyes widened in shock. "This—this is..."
Guy was stunned too.
Even Black and White Zetsu, who had just burrowed underground, froze in confusion.
There was now a massive hole in Obito's chest.
His heart—completely destroyed.
"What... what just happened? Who did this?!"
Zetsu roared in fury.
Obito couldn't die now! If he died, what would happen to the plan?
How were they supposed to carry it out?
More importantly—how was Uchiha Madara supposed to be resurrected now?
