Naruto: Konoha's Psychic

Chapter 259: Ch-259 The Weakness of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Obito, who had been charred black like burnt wood after getting hit by the lightning created from the formation of knives psychokinetically controlled by Inoiki, remained affected for only a few moments despite the severe burns.

Then, suddenly, he started recovering.

The blackened skin slowly peeled away as if it had never existed. His pale white skin gradually regained its color, the burnt black marks disappearing completely. Soon enough, Obito appeared as good as new, without even the slightest trace of the damage left behind.

And even though the shield created from the Truth-Seeking Orbs had been destroyed, the Truth-Seeking Orbs themselves remained intact. Sure enough, they once again started morphing, twisting and reshaping behind Obito before floating close to his body once more.

Obito looked towards Inoiki and said, "I made a mistake. Even after knowing that the elements you control, or the elements that you cover your knives with, are not chakra-formed elements, but are instead purely formed from nature, I still underestimated them. My Truth-Seeking Orbs are helpless against natural chakra, and you took advantage of that."

A faint crackle of leftover lightning still lingered in the air around them.

"If you had hit me with normal lightning chakra, then my Truth-Seeking Orbs would have destroyed that ninjutsu completely. But you used natural lightning, natural elements, and because of that, you were able to break the shield formed from my Truth-Seeking Orbs and reach me."

After making this analysis, Obito’s face became even more solemn.

If even his advantage of the Truth-Seeking Orbs was gone, then now his only remaining advantages were the presence of the God Tree, the Ten-Tails, and his enormous chakra reserves.

Fighting Inoiki would most probably become a war of attrition.

He would have to drag the battle on and try to exhaust Inoiki, because Inoiki could not recover his chakra in a short period of time. He did not know how to use Sage Mode or natural chakra to enhance the chakra inside himself or recover it at a rapid pace. That was the only advantage Obito had left now.

But for Obito, even that was more than enough.

Although he had not been able to achieve his original goal of completely dominating Inoiki in battle, at the very least he could still fulfill his true objective—

To cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

He just had to tire Inoiki out.

After making this plan, Obito directly looked towards Inoiki.

Meanwhile, Inoiki did not respond to Obito’s words because what Obito said was the truth.

He had created this as a trump card.

Or to be more precise, before he had attacked Obito using his psychokinetically controlled knives, he had deliberately shown Obito that his knives were completely useless against the defenses of the Truth-Seeking Orbs.

And then, when he used those knives again, controlling them psychokinetically once more, Obito confidently created a shield around himself, believing that the knives would never be able to reach him.

That confidence had become his mistake.

At the last moment, Inoiki had created natural chakra and even used the lightning from the clouds above for better efficiency, increasing the lethality of his attack on Obito.

The sky above them still rumbled faintly, as if the heavens themselves had not yet calmed down from that strike.

And Obito had paid the price for his confidence.

At the same time, Inoiki was keeping his senses focused directly on the Fourth Division battlefield far away. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

He could sense the chakra signatures of many ninjas rapidly approaching that battlefield—Tsunade, the Raikage, Jiraiya, and many others. Their chakra signatures were growing closer and closer, and as soon as they finally reached the Fourth Division battlefield, it happened at almost the exact same moment Obito had finished speaking.

Without wasting even a second, Inoiki used space-time teleportation and immediately disappeared from in front of Obito.

Obito’s eyes narrowed slightly in confusion.

Then, in the next instant, Inoiki directly appeared beside Naruto, who was fighting Madara.

The battlefield there was already in complete chaos. Dust covered the ground, the air trembled from the aftershocks of previous attacks, and the pressure radiating from Madara alone was enough to make ordinary ninjas lose their breath.

Inoiki looked towards Madara.

He saw Madara moving to attack Naruto once again.

Without hesitation, Inoiki directly compressed the surrounding air onto his palm. The air distorted visibly around his hand before he suddenly released it towards Madara.

A violent blast of compressed force exploded forward.

Madara was sent flying backwards with extreme force and surprising ease, his body cutting through the air before crashing away from Naruto.

Then Inoiki looked towards Naruto and said, "I already informed you before, let’s go. All the other ninjas are here for support, and they can handle Madara Uchiha."

Before Naruto could even properly react, Inoiki had already grabbed him.

Immediately afterwards, both of them disappeared through space-time teleportation.

Obito was still confused about where Inoiki had gone when, within just a few seconds, Inoiki reappeared in front of him once again.

But this time, he was not alone.

Naruto was with him.

Both of them landed on the ground. Dust rose lightly beneath their feet as Naruto quickly looked around the battlefield.

His eyes soon landed on the giant God Tree, which stood prominently over the battlefield like a terrifying pillar connecting the earth and the heavens.

Then Naruto looked towards Obito.

"So, he is Obito Uchiha, the one who was pretending to be Madara Uchiha."

Inoiki nodded and said, "Yes, he is."

Then, looking towards Naruto, Inoiki asked, just to confirm what he could already feel, "You and Kurama are in sync now, right?"

Naruto, after hearing Inoiki’s words, replied, "Yes. Kurama and I are in sync now, and we have let go of our past grudges altogether. We are working together for a greater good and will not let Obito’s plans succeed."

As soon as Naruto confirmed this, a smile appeared on Inoiki’s face.

The wind blew lightly across the battlefield, causing his clothes to flutter faintly.

Now that Naruto and Kurama were in complete sync, it would become even easier for Inoiki to move forward with his next plan.

Inoiki telepathically spoke directly into Naruto’s mind.

"Naruto, listen. Here is what my plan is."

His voice echoed clearly inside Naruto’s consciousness.

"I will try to remove Obito’s control over the Ten-Tails. To be precise, I will weaken the current bond between him and the Ten-Tails as Jinchuriki and Tailed Beast."

Inoiki’s eyes remained fixed on Obito the entire time.

"When that bond weakens, Kurama, you will search for your own essence within the Ten-Tails and grab your origin from among the Ten-Tails’ chakra. After all, all of you were divided from the Ten-Tails. Search for your origin within it and seize it."

A faint seriousness appeared in Naruto’s expression as he listened carefully.

"And when you do that, I will help both you and Naruto capture the essence of the other Tailed Beasts as well. If we are able to extract the essence of all the Tailed Beasts, capture their chakra essence, and forcefully pull it out, then all of the Tailed Beasts will be freed."

Inoiki’s gaze sharpened.

"And once that happens, Obito will automatically lose his status as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki... and we will win."

For a brief moment, there was silence.

The air around them trembled faintly from the massive amount of chakra present on the battlefield.

"But the biggest uncertainty is whether my technique will work or not. Although I am ninety percent sure that it should work, there is still some uncertainty."

Inoiki paused for a brief moment before continuing.

"Still, whatever happens, this is the best move we have."

Naruto, after hearing Inoiki’s words, nodded.

Although he did not fully understand what this essence and origin truly were, with Kurama’s guidance, he should be able to capture the chakra essence of all the other Tailed Beasts. And with Inoiki here to help him, they could definitely succeed.

We can do this... we have to do this.

After the plan was made, Naruto was fully ready.

Almost immediately, Naruto’s body became covered in yellow light. frёewebηovel.cѳm

But unlike his earlier KCM1 form, this time he had robes of chakra around him. Black markings appeared across the glowing cloak, and soon enough, Naruto slowly started rising into the air.

Around him, the enormous chakra form of the Nine-Tails began to manifest.

Golden chakra surged violently around Naruto’s body as the gigantic fox shape formed behind him, its presence so overwhelming that even the ground beneath them trembled slightly.

Both of them were now ready to follow through with their plan—

Both Inoiki and Naruto.
