Chapter 1246 The weather is sunny

His brows furrowed, and his Eternal Spirit Eyes saw through the conspiracy behind the coded message—Obito not only wanted to seize the Origin Pearl, but also wanted to set up an ambush in Amegakure to wipe out the core forces of the Ninja World Alliance.

“I will keep my promise.” Shangguan Mo’s voice was firm. “Only I can sense the weakness of the Spirit Refining Puppet, and only I can purify the dark energy within the Eight-Tails. Naruto, you come with me. The Nine-Tails’ chakra can help me stabilize the purification array. Mr. Itachi, please lead the Allied Forces to ambush outside Amegakure. Once Obito launches an attack, immediately surround him.”

Itachi Uchiha nodded in agreement, his Mangekyou Sharingan flashing in his eyes: "Obito's Kamui ability is difficult to deal with. I will use Kotoamatsukami to interfere with his consciousness and create an opportunity for you." Naruto also patted his chest and assured him: "Don't worry, Shangguan Mo, I will definitely help you rescue Killer Bee and will absolutely not let the Akatsuki's conspiracy succeed!"

Three days later, a fine drizzle fell over Amegakure, shrouding the entire village in a somber atmosphere. Obito stood atop the Amegakure building, with Killer Bee bound by black spirit-refining chains behind him. The Eight-Tails' chakra was suppressed by the chains, only able to roar in anger. Zetsu's upper body emerged from the ground, black spores spreading in the rain: "Shangguan Mo, did you bring the Ten-Tails' Origin Pearl?"

Shangguan Mo stood below the building, holding the Origin Pearl above his head: "Release Killer Bee first, or you won't get the Origin Pearl." Obito sneered and waved his hand to unlock some of the chains on Killer Bee's body: "Throw the Origin Pearl over here first, and I will naturally let him go."

Just as Shangguan Mo was about to throw out the Origin Pearl, Naruto suddenly shouted, "Watch out! He's coated the chains with a Spirit Refining Curse!" Shangguan Mo immediately used his Spirit Refining Eye to check and indeed found that the chains on Killer Bee's body had black curse marks remaining. Once Killer Bee left Obito's control range, the curse marks would detonate, refining the Eight-Tails' chakra into dark energy.

"Obito, you really didn't have good intentions." Shangguan Mo put away the Origin Pearl, and the Spirit Refining Hammer condensed golden energy in his palm. "If you want to take the Origin Pearl, you'll have to beat me first!" He activated Spirit Refining Teleportation and appeared next to Killer Bee. At the same time, the golden light blade cut through the chains and injected purifying energy into Killer Bee's body, dissolving the threat of the cursed seal.

"Attack!" Obito roared, and the ground around Amegakure suddenly cracked open, releasing 100,000 White Zetsu spirit puppets. Each puppet was fused with the bones of a tailed beast and wielded a spirit weapon, surrounding Shangguan Mo and the others. Zetsu spores erupted in the rain, forming a black barrier that completely sealed off Amegakure, preventing the Allied Forces from intervening.

Naruto immediately activated Nine-Tails Mode, and golden tailed beast chakra formed a giant fox phantom, sending dozens of White Zetsu puppets flying with a single punch: "Shangguan Mo, you take Killer Bee and break through, I'll hold them off!" Killer Bee also broke free of his chains, unleashing the Eight-Tails' tailed beast chakra, and unleashing a tailed beast blast at the group of puppets, instantly creating a vacuum zone.

Obito activated his Kamui, appearing behind Shangguan Mo, and shot a black magatama towards his back. Shangguan Mo was prepared; he swung his Spirit Refining Hammer backhand, a golden blade of light deflecting the magatama, and simultaneously activated "Spirit Refining: Space-Time Lock," golden runes temporarily freezing the space created by Obito's Kamui: "Itachi-san, make your move!"

Itachi Uchiha leaped out from the rain, his Mangekyou Sharingan's power erupting, and the genjutsu light of "Kotoamatsukami: Exorcism" enveloped Obito. Obito's movements faltered instantly, and the Kamui dimension became chaotic. He roared and used his chakra to break through the genjutsu, only to find that the Allied Forces had already broken through Zetsu's barrier. Tsunade's medical ninjutsu, the Raikage's Lightning Release, and Onoki's Dust Release intertwined to form an attack net, bombarding the White Zetsu puppet horde.
