"Mei Mei, are you ready? I'm about to receive your passionate kiss!"
Mei Mei's pupils constricted: "Wait..."
Li Xing laughed heartily, suddenly appearing before Mei Mei. He lifted her chin and kissed her in front of everyone.
"Li Xing, kid! What are you doing! Bastard, let go of the Mizukage at once!" Jiraiya immediately shouted, though his eyes were filled with envious hatred.
After a while, Li Xing released Mei Mei. At that moment, Mei Mei fainted, unsure if it was from excitement or overwhelming shame.
"Bastard! Li Xing!" Tsunade clenched her fist and charged at Li Xing.
Li Xing put Mei Mei down and caught Tsunade's fist with one hand. Tsunade then kicked Li Xing, sending him flying.
"Tsunade, don't get so agitated. You're special. You're the Master!"
But Tsunade couldn't hear him. Even with Li Xing's words, she still had to give him a good punch.
Li Xing dodged Tsunade's attacks relentlessly, not retaliating. Onoki, seeing Li Xing show mercy to Tsunade, immediately thought of a way to defeat Li Xing.
That was to have Tsunade take the lead, distracting Li Xing, while the others seized the opportunity for a sneak attack. It would be best to lop off Li Xing's head and seal it. Surely, Li Xing couldn't move with his head severed?
Gaara and Jiraiya didn't want to do this, but for the sake of the ninja world, they had to make up their minds.
Li Xing continued to dodge Tsunade's punches. Just as Tsunade momentarily blocked his vision, the sand on the ground suddenly attacked from behind, and Shima Sen'nin's tongue firmly bound Li Xing's limbs.
"Asura Path!"
Nagato suddenly emerged from the ground, his hands transforming into sharp saws, and he violently slashed towards Li Xing's neck. Onoki, crouched behind Nagato, reduced Nagato's weight to increase his speed. At the last moment, he increased Nagato's weight again, greatly amplifying the power of his slash.
Seeing this, Tsunade swung her fist with all her might, knocking Li Xing's head askew. Tsunade's arm replaced Li Xing's neck. Nagato couldn't stop himself and could only continue the slash.
Li Xing's eyes suddenly sharpened. He forcefully pulled Tsunade into his embrace.
"Almighty Push!"
Everyone was instantly sent flying. Li Xing grabbed Shima Sen'nin's tongue with one hand and used his Lightning Release to electrocute Shima Sen'nin unconscious along the tongue.
"I'm angry."
"Thunderbolt!"
A sword suddenly appeared in Li Xing's hand. A lightning bolt flashed across the desert. Jiraiya, Gaara, and Onoki were all cut down by Li Xing.
Onoki, in particular, had his ribs visible from the wound on his chest, bleeding profusely and fainting on the spot.
Finally, Li Xing plunged his sword into Nagato's chest. Several chains spread from the blade, sealing Nagato on the spot.
"Remember, it's because I'm giving Tsunade face that you aren't dead. You don't need to participate in the rest of the war. All of you stay here and watch the moon!"
"Enough, Li Xing, stop fighting."
It was Tsunade's momentary softness that led to the injury of others. Tsunade felt immense guilt. As Hokage and the chief strategist of the Allied Shinobi Forces, Tsunade had a responsibility to protect everyone.
Initially, Tsunade only agreed to shelter Li Xing because he gambled. But after a year of living together, Tsunade had long regarded Li Xing as a younger brother. Later, when Li Xing brought Moli to Konoha, Tsunade didn't know when she had stopped seeing Li Xing as just a brother.
"You truly make me love and hate you!"
With that, Tsunade suddenly kissed Li Xing. This was Tsunade's first主动 advance, and Li Xing no longer bothered with the others, holding Tsunade in his arms in return.
Suddenly, Li Xing saw a blue spirit body flying towards them at high speed. Li Xing grabbed it directly with his hand and absorbed it on the spot.
"Kato Dan? Edo Tensei has been released. You came here at this opportunity, didn't you? Become nourishment for Li Yun. It seems Xiao Nan's side is almost finished too. The final battle is next." After absorbing Kato Dan, Li Xing saw Kato Dan's memories and immediately understood Kabuto's Izanami.
Li Xing suddenly released Tsunade: "Tsunade, I have something to attend to. You rest."
With that, Li Xing flew towards the cave where Kabuto was. Meanwhile, in the cave, Orochimaru, Jugo, and Suigetsu had found Sasuke. Orochimaru informed Sasuke about the Edo Tensei of the previous Hokages, which might provide Sasuke with an answer.
Sasuke wasted no time and followed Orochimaru to Konoha, to the Uzumaki clan's ancestral shrine, to prepare for the Edo Tensei of the previous Hokages.
As for Naruto, Obito was fighting him with six Tailed Beasts. Killer Bee felt the area was too small and directly used his Tailed Beast Bomb to level the surrounding area.
When Naruto learned that the Tailed Beasts were suffering, he was determined to rescue them. However, he was accidentally swallowed by the Four-Tails and, in doing so, met Son Goku, the Four-Tails.
After a conversation, Naruto's sincerity moved the Four-Tails, and also the Nine-Tails within him. However, the Nine-Tails remained proud and refused to admit it. Ever since Naruto learned the Sage Mode, the Nine-Tails had not absorbed Naruto's chakra, a fact only the Eight-Tails, who was always by his side, understood.
Naruto used his Shadow Clone Jutsu to escape from the Four-Tails' mouth, leaving a shadow clone inside. He used Sage Mode to sense and, with cooperation from both inside and out, pulled out the chakra black rods from the Four-Tails' neck. This was the Outer Path technique of the Rinnegan, the same way Nagato controlled the Six Paths of Pain.
Seeing this, Obito immediately recalled the Four-Tails into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and ordered all the Tailed Beasts to transform. The five Tailed Beasts in their transformed state unleashed Tailed Beast Bombs together.
As they were charging up, the Nine-Tails recalled Naruto's life. Naruto had gained the recognition of many people along the way. The Nine-Tails had witnessed it all and made up its mind to fight alongside Naruto. Naruto then became a perfect Jinchuriki.
Subsequently, Naruto transformed into his Tailed Beast form, dodged the Tailed Beast Bombs from the five Tailed Beasts, and at the same time, used his shadow clones to leap onto the other Tailed Beasts, found the chakra black rods, and pulled them out. Furthermore, Naruto learned the names of all the Tailed Beasts in his spiritual space and obtained some of their chakra.
Seeing this, Obito immediately decided to revive the Ten-Tails prematurely. He had originally intended to fully revive the Ten-Tails, but it now seemed difficult.
Naruto and Killer Bee also learned about the Ten-Tails from the Nine-Tails. It turned out that to revive the Ten-Tails, one didn't need all the Tailed Beasts, but rather parts of the chakra from all the Tailed Beasts. Killer Bee's severed tail, and the chakra of the Gold and Silver Brothers, precisely made up the chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts.
Just as Naruto was pondering, Kakashi and Guy suddenly arrived to provide support. However, Madara also descended from the sky. Upon arriving, Madara immediately used the Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence, firmly trapping Naruto and the Eight-Tails.
Even the Tailed Beast form of Naruto couldn't break free from the Wood Style technique. Fortunately, they had help. Yugito and Fū also arrived on the battlefield. Karin directly helped Naruto shatter the Wood Style technique.
Kakashi, Guy, and Naruto chose to fight Obito, while Yugito, Karin, Fū, and the Eight-Tails fought Madara.
Naruto, Kakashi, and Guy analyzed Obito's pupil power through Kamui, believing that Obito's eye and Kakashi's Kamui were connected to the same dimension. The three of them combined their efforts and used strategy to break Obito's mask.
Kakashi was incredulous. All those years of visiting his grave felt wasted. Obito, who once aspired to be Hokage, had now become a villain who wanted to destroy the world.
Meanwhile, Madara easily suppressed the four opponents. Just as Madara was about to extract the Eight-Tails, the Edo Tensei was suddenly released, and Karin, in turn, punched him back.
However, Madara was well aware of the Edo Tensei technique. As long as he knew the hand seals, he could completely break free from the Edo Tensei's control. He immediately performed the hand seals to release himself from Edo Tensei, forcibly remaining in the living world.
"Traitors! Now you're in trouble!"
This statement was clearly directed at Karin and Yugito. Regardless of their relationship with Li Xing, Madara would show no mercy. Only Karin was somewhat regarded by Madara.
"Oh really? Then let's continue. It's just Edo Tensei. The Uzumaki clan has plenty of sealing jutsu!" Karin expressed disdain for Madara, believing that Madara was only suppressing them because of the Edo Tensei. All of this was thanks to Li Xing, so it was as if Li Xing was suppressing them, and Madara had nothing to do with it.
(Too lazy to write, speeding up the progress. As someone who sees things through, even if no one is reading, I must finish this book, no matter what. Thank you for the gift from the spirit youth.)
