Chapter 297 Say it to me again! The bird in the cage finally flew to the blue sky!!

The Ten-Tails swung its hand, but was knocked away by Hyuga Hiashi and Neji's Kaiten.

Madara looked at the ants of the Hyuga clan, his tone was very calm.

"I wanted to attack before they could make a big fuss, but I can't control the Ten-Tails perfectly."

"It works up to this point, but from now on, if I don't become a Jinchūriki, it seems I won't be able to control the Ten-Tails."

"If I want to become the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails, I must first get rid of the corpse of the Impure World Reincarnation and become a living being." Madara looked at Obito beside him.

"I don't have the Rinnegan, you go find Obito." Kanon spread her hands and pointed at Obito.

Obito looked at Madara and said calmly:

"You, who have been reborn from the Impure World, always like to ask others to be buried with you."

"But he didn't care about the self-destruction and fired the Tailed Beast Ball of the Ten-Tails at the coalition forces below him."

"You don't want me to die because you're afraid that I'll be implicated and killed. If you want to truly revive and become a Jinchūriki, I have to sacrifice my life for you and perform the Rinneganjutsu, right?"

"That is to say, you are in a very delicate position now, and you must obey me."

Looking at Obito's tone, Madara simply said indifferently; "The brat back then has become much more cunning."

"I never considered you as a companion." Obito said lightly.

"Haha, that's the best."

"Then it's up to you to decide what to do next."

"Kane, what do you say?" Madara nodded slightly.

Obito gritted his teeth, because Kanon could indeed kill him, at least his Kamui had no effect in front of Kanon.

If Kanon kills him now and obtains the Rinnegan, he will be completely defeated.

But Hanane spread her hands and didn't want to care about it.

"It doesn't matter who becomes the Jinchūriki, can you guys make a decision quickly?" Kanon said dissatisfiedly.

Obito nodded slightly: "Go on, I will tell them carefully what despair is."

"Okay." Kanon nodded and looked at Madara. It seemed that they both understood something.

"Wood Release: Grafting Technique!" Obito shouted, and the Ten-Tails around him raised their hands, and countless wooden thorns appeared in their palms.

The spears on ten hands shot downwards madly, causing heavy casualties among the ninja coalition. Many ninjas were unable to dodge and were stabbed in the body.

Then all the internal organs of the body were pierced by Wood Release.

Looking at this scene, Akagi clasped his hands together. He understood that before the Nine-Tails' power was restored, he could only rely on his Mountain and Earth Technique to delay time.

But it takes time to refine chakra. Kakashi used kunai and Raikiri to madly penetrate the insertion technique, while Sakura used her supernatural strength to grab the stones on the ground to resist the insertion technique.

But there were too many cuttings, and Neci's Kaiten was too late. Under Neci's cover, Naruto had already entered the Sage Mode.

A spiral shuriken exploded and instantly exploded above the Ten-Tails' head.

"Thanks, Neji. I've entered Sage Mode."

"I can't always rely on genius. I have to step up and fight hard next time."

"Rasen Shuriken!"

Several spiral shurikens exploded, and the Ten-Tails' hands were knocked off one by one.

"It's not over yet!" Two more shadow clones threw out Rasenshuriken, but because of this, Naruto's Sage Mode was instantly used up, and he half-knelt on the ground gasping for breath.

The grafting technique also fell from the sky and stabbed towards Naruto, but was blasted away by Hinata's palm.

Hiashi jumped in front of the two and used Bagua Kongzhang to blast away one of their hands, but the blasted hand had already aimed at Naruto and Hinata.

"Oh no, we're being targeted!" Hizu shouted.

There are simply too many of them, and Neji and Hinata won’t be able to defeat them with their bare hands!

Hinata Hyuga gritted her teeth, took a step in front of the exhausted Naruto, and opened her arms.

"It's useless, Hinata!" Kanon shouted while looking at this place.

But the next moment, the sound of flesh being pierced was heard.

"Tsk, was it blocked?" Hanane curled her lips.

Naruto and Hinata looked horrified, their pupils shrank to the extreme as they looked at Neji who was pierced.

"Earth Release·Shantu Technique!"

Finally, Chi Tu used this technique.

Taking this opportunity, Naruto picked up Neji and shouted for the medical team.

"It's useless, Naruto, his internal organs have been destroyed." Kanon was not affected by the Mountain and Earth Technique at all, and just looked at Naruto.

Listening to Naruto's screams, Neji began to bleed from his mouth.

"No...I already..."

"Neji!"

"elder brother..."

Naruto and Hinata were both trembling as they watched Neci kneeling there, blood staining Naruto's clothes red.

His heart was like a storm, and yet another good friend died in front of him, which made Naruto's eyes widen.

"Naruto...Lady Hinata...is willing to sacrifice herself for you."

"So, you have more than one life."

"It seems that my life... is... one of them." Neji slowly closed his eyes.

Tears welled up in Naruto's eyes.

"How could you die here? What did you do to Hinata..."

"Why would you sacrifice yourself for me...risking your own life to protect me."

"Because you... said I was a genius..."

At this moment, Ningji finally understood his father's final choice, and the "bird in the cage" finally broke free and flew high into the sky.

He did not die in obscurity, but died to protect his companions and everyone.

Seeing Neji fall into Naruto's arms, Obito shouted:

"Didn't you say you would never let your companions be killed? Naruto!!!"

But Neji had already lost his life and fell in front of Naruto.

"You and I are both powerless in the face of such a reality, Naruto." Kanon said coldly.

Strictly speaking, it was not Kanon who killed Neji, but Obito who killed him. However, seeing Naruto's expression of extreme regret and gritting his teeth in anger, Kanon actually laughed.

Kanon crossed her arms, stood on the top of the Ten-Tails, and said to Naruto calmly:

"Naruto, I told you, you are too naive. If you go to this battlefield with this idea, you will only continue to witness important people leaving you."

"The bond and peace you want is not a word that belongs to you weaklings."

"What's the value of keeping such a world?"

"A world that is distorted to the extreme will only be engulfed in war forever."

"The peaceful future that Jiraiya-sensei and you want does not exist."

Naruto's pupils shrank to the extreme. He knelt on the ground, his blue pupils shrank to the extreme. There were corpses all around him.

"Naruto, look at your side, do you still dare to say that you will never let your companions be killed?"

"A genius like Neji from Hyuga still had to die in this war."

"Touching my companion's slowly cooling body, I experienced what despair and death are!"

Naruto knelt weakly on the ground, while Kanon stood on top of the Ten-Tails and closed her eyes.

At this moment, her mind flashed back to when she was 11 years old and was hunted by hundreds of Konoha's Anbu. There was only loneliness and pain around her.

The flower field that I longed for is gone! A flower field where people can understand each other, where even the weak can survive.

No matter how hard you work for others, if you don't become stronger, if you don't defeat others, if you always live in this world with kindness! In the end, you will only be forgotten and eliminated by this world, and then be ruthlessly wiped out!

Tears welled up in Kanon's eyes, but she was smiling, and at this moment she echoed Naruto's desperate expression.

The others who were of the same generation as Naruto all looked extremely painful when they saw Neci die on the battlefield.

"Death will continue. Your naivety cannot save those people. In this cruel world, the weak cannot even choose the way they die!"

"Since there is no flower field, I will create one myself! For this, I can bear any sin!"

"Naruto, this is reality! There's no need for us to sacrifice for a world like this, right?"

Listening to Hanane's words, Naruto's body trembled to the extreme. At this time, Obito walked to Hanane's side and shouted at him: "Naruto, what is there in this reality?"

"Without your father and mother, and without your teacher Jiraiya."

"And as long as you continue to be our enemy, your companions will die one by one just like him!"

"A world where no one recognizes you, and what awaits you at the end is the thing you are most familiar with and most afraid of... loneliness!"

Madara gradually raised his head and looked at Obito and Kanon. At this moment, Obito became the same as before. Naruto would soon sink, and it was time for the coalition forces to despair.

Obito continued: "What's the point of staying in reality? Come to our side, Naruto!" Obito stretched out his hand.
