Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 359: Zero Ring! Information about the castle tower!
"call"

Standing in Susanoo, looking at the unobstructed view in front of you,
This was an area that had been swept through by him the last time he came, turned into ruins, and then cleared by Yunyin to become a plain.

And at the end of the sight, there is the castle tower located on a 600-meter giant rock pillar!

Uchiha Ci exhaled slightly.

He rushed all the way, using the Nine-shot Yasaka Magatama, Immortal Technique, Flame Release, Shooting Greatsword, Flame Wind Dragon Dance, Hell Hand, Five Release, Five Elements Reversal Greatsword,
The three giant compound ninjutsu, even with half the chakra of the Eight-Tails, consumed nearly half of his chakra.
Among them, Hell's Hand, Five Escaping Techniques, and Five Elements Reversed Greatsword are the techniques that consume the most energy. Nearly half of the chakra is consumed, and 3/4 of it is consumed to test the power of this move.

According to Uchiha Ci's estimation, this move has completely surpassed the damage and scale of the normal Tailed Beast Ball. The power of the explosion origin can even tear apart his own defense with all his strength.

After all, going further up, there is the Truth-Seeking Jade which is a combination of the seven changes in chakra properties.

In other words, Uchiha Ci can now use the same move once more.

"With two more 10-minute spells in Sage Form, it shouldn't be a problem to defeat the Raikage head-on this time."

After roughly calculating the cards that can be used,
Uchiha Ci was about to move forward.

And at this time——

"Uchiha Ci!"

A cold shout came from behind.

Uchiha Ci glanced sideways suddenly and saw a red-haired young man standing on the ruins of the city wall that he had smashed, walking slowly towards him, looking at him with a complicated expression.

That is the Scorpion of the Red Sand.
"scorpion?"

Scorpion hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, and then took out a scroll from the Akatsuki robe that was the same style as Uchiha Ci's.
Throwing the scroll towards Susanoo, Scorpion turned his head and spoke reluctantly,

"This is Kakuzu, who asked me to give it to you."

Uchiha Ci was stunned for a moment, waved away Susanoo, landed on the ground, and raised his hand to take the scroll.

"Kakuzu gave it to me?"

After thinking for a while, Uchiha Ci, who was a little surprised, directly unfolded the storage scroll and glanced at the Uchiha clan's emblem from the side of the scroll.

Through this, he probably figured out,
Kakuzu, are you colluding with the clan now?

And in the scroll, there are two things.

One was the Kusanagi sword that he lost in the last battle in Hell Valley.

The second one was a set of clothing he usually wore with the Uchiha clan emblem, a black high-necked shirt, ninja bloomers with many pockets, leggings, black ninja boots, a sealing wristband with the word "sword" engraved on it, and thousands of various fine ninja tools.

"Just in time!"

He took out the sealed things in the scroll, held the Kusanagi sword he usually used, swung out a few sword flowers, and sheathed it.

Uchiha Ci's eyes lit up immediately.
He was just worrying about how to cut open the turtle shell of the Third Raikage when his clan ordered Kakuzu to send him his weapon.

After personally acquiring the superb level of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he finally understood how lucky he was that he defeated the Third Raikage in Hell Valley last time.

If the Third Raikage only relied on his speed that could not be captured by sight to make a detour, changed his tactics, gave up priority to killing Uchiha Ci, and dodge all his attacks, Uchiha Ci would have no ability to stop him from killing his own members.

Moreover, the last time it was also thanks to the great elder Uchiha Setsuna's keenness in seizing the opportunity, and the cooperation of the two, that the Third Raikage was able to pierce his chest with the Hell Stab, greatly reducing his condition.

That's why he almost killed the opponent with one sword.

Judging by the proficiency in using Lightning Release Chakra Mode, the Third Raikage's proficiency in using the Lightning Armor was even higher than that of Uchiha Ci, reaching a level of proficiency above perfection.

This is simply a monster made up of stacked numbers!

Most of the moves that Uchiha Ci created were extremely powerful area damage ninjutsu. However, facing a ninja like the Third Raikage who was known for his speed and defense, most of his jutsu, including Susanoo, were like targets. The scale of the entire battle would inevitably shift towards miniaturization and refinement.

The chance of victory lies in just a moment, an inch of space.

So at this time, a weapon that is strong enough to cut through the thunder armor and is indestructible is very important.

At the same time, they sent him his usual clothes and weapons, which was also the Uchiha clan's way of conveying the clan's attitude to him.

No matter if he is a traitor or a heinous criminal who wants to subvert the ninja world,

Everyone in the tribe wanted to tell him:
The Uchiha clan will always be your home!

Thinking of this, Uchiha Ci couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

And then,
After delivering the scroll, Scorpion hesitated for a moment. He had some questions in his mind, but he didn't know how to start.
Then he called out again with an awkward look on his face:

"Uchiha Ci, you, wait here for a while!"

"Huh?" Uchiha Ci was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xie blankly, looking at the other party's tangled face, he didn't understand what was going on.
What is going on? This guy’s face is as red as a bubble teapot!
Without waiting for Uchiha Ci to carefully consider what kind of change had taken place in the mentality of the birdman in front of him,

Soon, two figures jumped down from the city wall. One of them saw Uchiha Ci and his eyes lit up immediately. He waved his hand.

"Hey, quit—!"

"Mei Terumi?" Uchiha Ci was stunned again as he looked at Mei Terumi, who was dragging Mangetsu, who was trying to open one eye, and jumping towards him.
Both of them were wearing Akatsuki's red cloud robes, and Mei Terumi was wearing a ring with the word "Bai" engraved on the middle finger of her right hand.
He didn't know that the Akatsuki members were fighting at the moment, and was shocked by this sudden scene.
"Why the hell did you join Akatsuki?"

"Aren't you going to be the Mizukage?"

"We'll talk about this later. Put this on. Yahiko and the others have already headed to the castle tower. They have urgent information coming back!"

This question stumped Mei Terumi, but this was not the right time to ask it, so she evaded the question with some vague answers and then threw something at Uchiha Ci.

Uchiha Ci took it and looked at it.
This is actually the Akatsuki ring with the word "zero" engraved on it, symbolizing nothingness, the absence of war and pain. It is the ring worn by the leader of Akatsuki.

Mei Terumi said solemnly:

"When you put on this ring, you can transform your chakra into 'thought waves'. The ring will amplify these waves and manifest them in the form of illusions. They can be used to transmit important information."

"Information?" Uchiha Ci frowned slightly, turned his head and glanced at the castle tower standing on the ground in the distance.
Have Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan already gone there?

Those who were there should have seen and guessed that they were going to the castle tower now.

We will meet soon.

What kind of information would require urgent use of the Slide Body Technique to be transmitted to myself?

Thinking of this, Uchiha Ci did not dare to neglect and immediately put the ring on his thumb.

next moment,
The ring autonomously absorbed a portion of Uchiha Ci's chakra.
Then, in front of him, an illusory figure with long hair and a Samsara eye appeared, pretending to be retreating from a battle.
Judging from its appearance, it is Nagato's phantom body.

When he saw Uchiha Ci, Nagato was slightly startled, and then he nervously shouted at him at a very fast speed:
"Uchiha Ci, I searched using the power of the Human Path!"

"The name of the Land of Lightning is not here!"

"Also, I can't explain the plan of the Iwagakure party for the moment, but now, you take the other members and evacuate here immediately!"

"and many more--"

"Damn it!"

"He saw you!"
