Obito and Black Zetsu left White Zetsu in charge of protecting Nagato.
They headed straight for the front lines—only to witness a massacre.
White Zetsu clones were being annihilated, their bodies incinerated in a relentless storm of firepower.
Obito and Black Zetsu gritted their teeth in frustration.
"Damn it... there were still some White Zetsu left just a moment ago!"
But now?
After multiple waves of devastation, almost none remained.
Well... a few survived.
Those were special variants, part of Obito's personal stockpile.
Still, the sight of such destruction fueled his rage.
Obito clenched his fists.
"That girl... she's the problem! If we don't take her out now, our entire plan is at risk!"
He knew it.
If someone charged in ready to sacrifice themselves, only for her to unleash another one of those massive attacks...
Then what?
Would even the Ten-Tails itself survive an assault like that?
---
Black Zetsu turned to him, his tone serious.
"Are you certain about this, Obito? You really want to kill her?"
Obito's Sharingan flared with murderous intent.
"Without a doubt."
Black Zetsu nodded.
"I know where she is… but getting close is nearly impossible."
Obito let out a low chuckle.
"That doesn't matter. I've already come up with a plan to deal with her."
---
Sakiya sat on the launch platform, resting her head in her hands as she gazed up at the sky.
"Ah... this is so boring. Should I just head to the front lines myself?"
A few meters away, Naruto sat cross-legged, looking just as impatient.
"No need, Sakiya-chan," he muttered. "Tsunade just told us most of the enemy forces on the front lines have already been wiped out. Right now, we're just waiting for their main forces to show up.
If anything tough appears, someone will call us in."
---
Suddenly, a White Zetsu clone emerged from the ground nearby. Its gaze locked onto Sakiya and Naruto, perched on the special platform. A smirk formed at the corner of its mouth.
"Found her."
This White Zetsu had been concealing itself within the ranks of the allied forces, hiding in plain sight.
Far away in a barren wasteland, Black Zetsu nodded at Obito.
"Target confirmed. She's at a platform inside the coalition camp."
Obito nodded in acknowledgment.
---
Nearby, Hidan frowned, looking confused.
"Huh? Who are we going after?"
Obito shot him an icy glare.
"A troublesome opponent. I'll bring her here—you just need to make her bleed."
Hidan's confusion quickly turned into a twisted grin.
"Heh… blood, huh? I like that. Then let's bring her in for the ceremony! A perfect sacrifice for Lord Jashin! I bet he'll love it!"
Obito gave no response. Instead, his gaze shifted toward the reanimated Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, his will completely erased.
"As long as he brings the girl here… the plan can begin."
---
Sakiya noticed the spying White Zetsu and immediately raised her hand toward the sky.
A magic circle unfolded once again.
Naruto, sitting nearby, yawned as he watched the glowing formation.
"Another airstrike request?" he asked lazily.
"Hmm~" Sakiya smirked knowingly.
"No one requested my judgment this time. I just found an enemy."
A small orb of energy condensed at the center of the formation before shooting into the sky.
Naruto, still half-distracted, blinked.
"Enemy?"
A split second later—
A blazing fireball crashed down not far from them.
BOOM!
Naruto turned his head, eyes widening as a cloud of smoke and debris billowed from the impact.
"Over there?"
Sakiya folded her arms across her chest, looking satisfied.
"Yep. Taken care of."
She exhaled confidently.
"Even gods, demons, and monsters can't escape my sight. These fools thought they were hidden—but I just gave them their death sentence."
---
Tsunade and several others quickly arrived, alarmed by the explosion.
"What happened?" she demanded.
Nearby, intelligence and sensory unit members emerged from their posts, drawn by the commotion.
Naruto, still looking toward the smoke cloud, stood up.
"I'll go check it out, Sakiya."
But just as he turned to leave—
A white-haired man appeared out of nowhere right behind Sakiya.
Naruto's entire body tensed. His pupils shrank in shock.
"Sakiya—!!"
Hearing the fear in his voice, Sakiya slowly turned her head.
---
The white-haired man moved with incredible speed, appearing just behind Sakiya in an instant.
SWOOSH—
And then—
He and Sakiya vanished.
Naruto barely had time to react.
"Sakiya—!!"
But it was too late.
He stared at the empty space where she had stood, frozen in shock.
Then—
"SAKIYA!!!"
His roar echoed through the camp, shaking the air along with the earlier explosion.
---
Tsunade and Raikage snapped to attention, their gazes shooting toward the platform where Naruto now stood—alone.
Naruto's expression was one of pure anguish.
Something was terribly wrong.
Without hesitation, Tsunade and Raikage smashed through the window and rushed to his side.
Tsunade's voice was urgent.
"Naruto! What happened?!"
Naruto turned to her, breathless.
"Sakiya was taken! A white-haired man—he was wearing a Konoha forehead protector! He grabbed her and disappeared in an instant!"
Tsunade's eyes widened.
White hair. Konoha forehead protector. Vanished instantly.
Only one person fit that description.
Her grandfather—Tobirama Senju.
"Impossible… It can't be him."
Her heart pounded as she pressed Naruto for more details.
"Was his hair long? What was he wearing? Did you notice any other features?"
Naruto clenched his fists, frustration clear on his face.
"I think his hair was long, but he moved too fast—I couldn't see anything else!"
Raikage scowled.
"Damn it. He struck first. We should've expected this!"
Naruto's fists trembled with rage.
"He ambushed a fourteen-year-old girl! What kind of coward does that?!"
---
Tsunade took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm.
"If it's really Tobirama… No, it can't be. He's dead. Orochimaru once summoned him with Edo Tensei—if he and Akatsuki are working together…"
The realization hit hard.
It all made sense.
Tsunade turned to Raikage and Naruto, her expression grim.
"Sakiya is strong—she won't be in danger right away. But the enemy wouldn't have taken her unless they had a plan. I don't know how long she can hold out."
Her hands clenched into fists.
"That means we don't have time to wait."
She looked Raikage in the eye.
"We need to attack—NOW."
"Sakiya's power is enough to distract their strongest forces. If we press them hard enough, we might have a chance to rescue her!"
Raikage nodded sharply, his muscles tensing.
"Then we don't waste another second."
His fist slammed into his palm.
"We launch a full-scale assault!!!"
