Chapter 403: Ambush at Polar Estuary
The escort group spends the next few days relaxing in the Takigakure.
They enjoy the local cuisines of the Takigakure and capture the sceneries of the land of the waterfall with their camera.
On the last day of their stay, the village chief Shibuki personally escort them out with a group of shinobis to lead them to the harbor. The escort group bodes farewell to the hotel members and departs for their destination.
"This was quite a vacation." Naruto stretches his arms as he flickers across the forest.
"We have stocked up on our supplies for the sea journey. The polar sea is full of unknown monsters and myths. So, don't lower your guard while on the sea." Kakashi reminds them.
The group stares among themselves and smiles.
'Looks like they can't hold back anymore. The estuary of the polar sea is an ideal location for an ambush. Once we enter the sea, they won't be able to make a move anymore.' Minato continues to move forwards while secretly observing the movements of their pursuers.
'There are quite a few of them. Some of them are from the Land of Sound, some of them are former root members, some rogue shinobis from smaller nations, and even some criminals from Takigakure. Looks like they really didn't like our stay in the Land of Waterfall.' Tsunade secretly eyes them.
'However, what's this uneasy feeling in my heart?' Mei speaks her mind as she monitors the movement of their pursuers.
This entire time, they have been discussing their strategy through a secret sound transmission technique of Mount Myoboku.
'We can't underestimate them. They must have prepared a trump card or something of that category to get enough confidence to deal with us.'
'I can sense a large amount of chakra ahead of us. Please be careful!' Minato reminds them.
Among everyone present here, Minato has the sharpest sense after the reformation of his body.
Swoosh
Soon, the group exits the forest. The magnificent view of the polar sea greets them, but none of them have the intention to praise this view.
"Scatter!"
Minato hurriedly signals them.
Swoosh
The group quickly scatters away in a pair of two.
Shiing
A gigantic fuinjutsu formation appears on the ground. At a faraway distance,
Swirl
Obito walks out of a swirling portal.
'I have learned quite a lesson from the last time. Back then, Konoha hid in that turtle shell and joined forces against the Akatsuki members. Even their information exchange network was perfect. But this time, I will break them apart.'
Obito takes out a blood-red crystal orb from his pocket.
'This is still a prototype of the jutsu and is incomplete. However, the combined powers of eight-tailed beasts are enough to achieve this."
He tosses the blood-red crystal orb in the air.
Swoosh
The blood-red crystal orb quickly rises in the air and shrouds a portion of the moon covering the area.
Shoom
Obito completes his hand signs.
"Limited Tsukuyomi,"
SHOOM
Ripples spread across the entire area as the light from the blood-red moon illuminates it.
"This is bad!" Minato hurriedly recognizes the danger, but it's too late. The light from the blood-red moon engulfs everyone. All of their eyes turn blank as a gigantic sphere of energy shrouds the entire area.
"It's done!"
Obito releases his hands and stares at his handiwork.
'Using the power of the tailed beast to create a replica of the real world in a form of an illusion. This isolated space derives its rules from the real world and can operate on its own. Although it's a shame that I can't control this world. However, I can influence it to a certain extent.'
Swoosh
Black Zetsu pops out of the ground and stares at the sphere of the Limited Tsukuyomi.
"Good job with the jutsu. With this, we can increase our chances of capturing the nine-tails." He remarks.
"It's not enough. Those rogue shinobi from smaller nations are no match for the elite shinobis of Konoha. It's time to ask Kabuto to fulfill his end of the deal. We tasked him to retrieve the one-tails and the nine-tails, but he only delivered the one-tails."
Kuku
A cloaked figure walks out of the shadows.
"Now now as allies, how could I not fulfill my end of the deal? I have already sent him to retrieve the Nine-tails."
"Him?!" Obito's eyes narrow.
"If it's him, then our chances of success are a hundred percent." Obito relaxes slightly.
Fwoosh
Another clone of white Zetsu pops out of the ground and shares a scroll with him.
Hmm
Obito reads the content of the scroll and his brows scrunch slightly.
"Failure isn't an option. Relay these words." Obito stores the scroll in his Kamui dimension. The white Zetsu clone enters the ground and disappears.
---------------
Argh
Naruto clutches his forehead as a sharp pain run across his head.
"Where where am I?" He slowly opens his eyes and looks around.
"This is this is Konoha. How did I end up here?" He looks around in confusion.
