Chapter 433 'Death of the White Night'

It took the five Kage more than ten minutes to recover their fighting ability, but Nagato obviously couldn't hold on that long.

Although Nagato has super shadow-level strength, he is considered a weakling in this level.

He is far inferior to Uchiha Madara in both personal talent and combat experience. Relying on the Outer Path Demon Statue as assistance, he can only barely resist Uchiha Madara's attack.

If the battle continues, Nagato will be defeated sooner or later.

Yahiko and Konan saw Nagato's embarrassment and wanted to step forward to help Nagato, but they were also seriously injured in the previous battle and needed Tsunade's treatment.

After thinking about this, the two sighed softly and said with emotion: "If there is any way to bring Bai Ye back from the alien space, Bai Ye and Nagato will definitely be able to deal with Uchiha Madara together."

Hearing this, Kakashi became cautious. He walked to Yahiko and said, "It will take a long time for Bai Ye to return to the ninja world. Can we really defeat Uchiha Madara and the masked man?"

Yahiko nodded, then asked, "Kakashi, do you have a way to go to another dimension?"

Kakashi didn't comment. After pulling out his kunai, he walked straight towards the masked man. Obito also noticed Kakashi's figure, and the two began to run towards each other.

Coming to Kakashi, Obito sneered:

"Kakashi, are you here to die? You don't really think that the Sharingan can compete with the Mangekyō? If you insist on seeking death, I can satisfy you."

Kakashi took a deep breath and said, "I am here to stop you. I don't want my best friend to go down the wrong path and believe in that illusory infinite moon reading illusion."

“Who is your best friend?”

Obito frowned and quickly denied, "Kakashi, don't be so self-indulgent. Your friend died in the Land of Grass more than ten years ago. The one standing here is the masked man."

Hearing this, Kakashi smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Well, I'll just assume he's dead. But your mouth may lie, but this Sharingan won't."

After saying that, Kakashi activated his Kamui and twisted a vortex in the void.

The image of the Kamui Space can be vaguely seen through the whirlpool. Inside the Kamui Space, Bai Ye and a group of Impure World Ninjas were engaged in a bitter battle. In order to defeat these immortal Impure World Ninjas, Bai Ye paid a heavy price.

At this time, Bai Ye seemed to notice the whirlpool and quickly rushed towards it.

Obito's face suddenly changed, and he immediately pounced on Kakashi. The grafting technique in his hand condensed into shape, and the wooden thorns turned into a torrential rain and shot out.

He was confident that he could defeat Kakashi, but he had no idea what to do against Byakuya.

If he hadn't used the Kamui Space and the Impure World Body to restrict Byakuya, he would not be Byakuya's opponent at all. What Kakashi is doing is to rescue Byakuya.

Faced with the sudden onslaught of grafting techniques, Kakashi did not feel panicked at all.

He activated the Kamui and directly transferred the Grafting Technique into the Kamui space, perfectly avoiding Obito's attack. At the same time, he formed seals with both hands and lightning emerged from his palms.

This is Kakashi's signature ninjutsu, Raikiri, and it also means that Kakashi is serious.

Before using Raikiri, Kakashi asked again: "Obito, do you still want to continue hiding your identity? If you change your mind and fight against Uchiha Madara now, I can plead for you."

"Plead for me?"

Obito seemed to have heard something funny and slowly took off his mask. Under the mask was a distorted face and his eyes were fixed on Kakashi.

"Kakashi, I really don't want to kill you, but you always seek death."

"I have killed only a few Kage-level warriors in these years. Why do you think you were able to kill Lin and still live with my eyes?"

Kakashi's face also became serious and he said:

"Lin died to protect the village, and she died voluntarily..."

"Besides, it's not certain who will kill whom. As your best friend, I must pull you onto the right path and stop you from destroying the world."

"You think I'm destroying the world?"

Obito smiled and said bluntly:
"You may think so, but I prefer to call the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi the New World. In the New World there are you and Lin, and the real world is nothing but an eternal purgatory."

By the end of his speech, Obito was close to madness.

As expected, Obito's target is still Rin... Kakashi sighed softly. He didn't know how to persuade this paranoid friend, but one thing was very clear, he must take Byakuya out of the Kamui Space.

If Byakuya can't be brought out, no one will be able to deal with Uchiha Madara.

He activated the Sharingan once again, creating a vortex in the void that connected to the Kamui space.

Kakashi felt his eyes were very sore and his vision had deteriorated a lot. This might be the aftereffect of using the Mangekyō Sharingan.

I don't know how Obito avoided the decline of strength.

Facing Kakashi's attempt to rescue Byakuya, Obito interfered again. With Obito's victory, the space vortex only existed for two or three seconds before it was forced to close.

&
In the divine space.

After dealing with the reincarnated ninja, Bai Ye looked at the void above his head.

For him, it was not difficult to deal with this group of Impure World Ninjas, but how to get out was a big problem.

He could use the recorded divine power to leave this place, but the kaleidoscope would be exposed. Now is not the time to reveal all his cards.

And if he wants to maximize his gains in this Ninja World War, he cannot win.

He must find a suitable time to exit in order to allow Uchiha Madara, Obito, and Naruto and Sasuke to grow, and he already has a vague plan in his mind.

Thinking quickly, Bai Ye soon came up with a more tragic character for himself and brought himself into the character.

Now he is an undercover agent who is determined to save the Ninja Alliance, but he accidentally falls into the masked man's conspiracy.

Bai Ye formed seals with his hands and moved quickly in the Shenwei space, panting, trying to find the exit that had just appeared briefly.

He originally thought that he would be trapped in the Kamui Space for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that besides Obito, there were other people who could connect to this space.

Therefore, after realizing this, Bai Ye began to wait for the vortex to appear again.

Unfortunately, the space vortex only exists for a very short time, and Bai Ye cannot grasp it in time. He can only wait patiently for an opportunity and look for a suitable time.

After trying several times, Bai Ye finally found an opportunity and got into the whirlpool.

Just before leaving the Shenwei Space, the space vortex suddenly disappeared. Most of Bai Ye's body was directly placed in the space turbulence, experiencing the impact of the space turbulence.

Relying on his strong physical fitness, Bai Ye finally returned to the ninja world.

But his body was still injured by the turbulence of space, and was covered with dense wounds, some of which even appeared on his internal organs.

If Bai Ye had not been proficient in medical ninjutsu, these hidden injuries alone would have been fatal.

After escaping from the Kamui Space, Bai Ye performed medical ninjutsu while walking towards Obito: "Masked man, I broke out of the Kamui Space, but your subordinates are not that good either? They are not as powerful as the space turbulence."

Obito's expression changed slightly, but he still pretended to be calm and said:
"Bai Ye, after so many intense battles, how much strength do you have left? Are you really my opponent now?"

Bai Ye's eyes flashed, as if he was avoiding something.

Obito noticed the change in Byakuya's eyes and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he was a little worried about testing Byakuya.

The psychological trauma that Bai Ye brought to him was too great.

Even though the other party was seriously injured, he did not dare to act rashly and could only keep a considerable distance from Bai Ye.

Just as the two sides were about to reach a stalemate, a figure appeared under Bai Ye's feet.

Then, accompanied by the sound of a sharp blade piercing the body, Bai Ye's body was pierced directly.

With Bai Ye's physical strength, he still had a chance of survival even if he took the Tailed Beast Ball head-on, but this time he was just like an ordinary ninja and was pierced directly by the sharp blade.

The reason is very simple. Ninjas can improve their physical strength through exercise.

But no matter what method is used to strengthen the body, it is essentially achieved through chakra. After several battles in succession, Bai Ye's body has consumed most of the chakra.

The body also loses the protection of chakra.

Turning back with difficulty, Bai Ye saw the ninja who attacked him.

"Why, Lord Black Zetsu? Aren't we one of us?"

After seeing the attacker's appearance clearly, Bai Ye said in disbelief: "Aren't the masked man and Uchiha Madara your enemies? We agreed to revive Uzushio Village together."

Black Zetsu slowly drew out the sharp blade and said expressionlessly:
"Bai Ye, I have been Madara-sama's subordinate since the beginning. It was Madara-sama's order that I approached you. You are too stupid to choose to believe me."

Bai Ye suddenly realized and showed a look of regret.

Then he seemed to remember something and asked, "One more thing. What weapon did you use to attack me that could prevent my body from healing itself?"

Black Zetsu smiled, and then said: "Of course it's the black stick. Haven't you always liked to use the black stick to control the enemy? Now that you have tasted the black stick, how do you feel?"

After that, Black Zetsu said to the masked man: "Lord Obito, Byakuya has lost his combat capability. Should we deal with Obito first, or go to support Lord Madara?"

Obito looked at Bai Ye with pity, then looked at Kakashi who was not far away, and said: "Go and support Uchiha Madara first. When I become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, I can crush him to death with one hand."

Before he could finish his words, Obito formed seals with his hands and used the Great Fireball Technique towards Byakuya.

The huge fireball directly engulfed Bai Ye's body. Bai Ye, who had difficulty condensing chakra, naturally had no way to resist and disappeared in the flames.

After defeating the great enemy Byakuya, Obito rushed towards Nagato, but his mind kept recalling his experiences with Byakuya, and he felt much more comfortable.

From the first time he met Bai Ye, he felt inferior to Bai Ye and was suppressed by Bai Ye everywhere.

When he inherited Uchiha Madara's identity and put on the mask, he encountered a nightmare. Bai Ye not only surpassed him in strength, but also in strategy, which made him a clown for a time.

However, no matter how well Bai Ye planned, he could not escape Black Zetsu's attack.

Black Zetsu was sent to Byakuya by himself, which also means that everything Byakuya does is to serve his own benefit. If it weren't for Byakuya's hard work over the years, the speed of hunting the tailed beasts would not be so fast.

Kakashi was left alone and just wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Afei.

A Fei is one of the most special White Zetsu among the 100,000 White Zetsu. By possessing an elite jonin, he has gained combat power comparable to that of a Hokage, and even Kakashi cannot easily break through his defense.

Kakashi looked at Ah Fei who was stopping him, and then looked at the place where Bai Ye disappeared, and his mood was very complicated.

He could not accept the fact that Bai Ye was dead, nor could he believe that Bai Ye would die in a small fireball. However, he witnessed Bai Ye's death with his own eyes and could not feel Bai Ye's breath.

After much hesitation, Kakashi returned to the Allied Forces' base and told them what he had seen.

After hearing the news of Bai Ye's death, the senior leaders of the coalition forces all widened their eyes. They did not believe Kakashi's words at all, nor did they believe the news of Bai Ye's death.

Bai Ye is a powerful ninja who can compete with Uchiha Madara. How could he die so easily?

But information can be deceiving, but the results of battle cannot. Not far away, Nagato was being besieged by Uchiha Madara and the masked man, and the masked man was using the ability of hollowing.

If Bai Ye hadn't died, the masked man would never have dared to use the virtualization technique.

There was no time to shock the coalition leaders. Kakashi immediately threw out another piece of news, and said with a complicated expression: "There is one more thing. I know the identity of the masked man. He is my former teammate Uchiha Obito."

"The masked man is Uchiha Madara?"

The coalition leaders didn't react much, and it seemed that they were very unfamiliar with the masked man.

But Might Guy became excited and said quickly: "Kakashi, you said the masked man is Obito? Isn't Obito the last in the class? How can he be the masked man?"

The Fourth Raikage seemed to remember something, and then said:

"Kakashi, you said Obito was your teammate, so he must have been the disciple of the Fourth Hokage. The Fourth Hokage actually died at the hands of his disciple..."

After these words were spoken, Kakashi and Tsunade fell silent.

The death of the Fourth Hokage was sad news for Konoha. It was a turning point for Konoha, and things went from bad to worse for Konoha from then on.

On the cliff in the distance, the First Hokage and others were also observing this place.

After noticing that Bai Ye's chakra had completely disappeared, the First Hokage asked in confusion: "Strange, is the ninja named Bai Ye dead? Why can't I feel his chakra?"

"Bai Ye is dead?"

The Second Hokage was slightly stunned, then said: "This might be a trap set by Bai Ye. He wants to confuse Uchiha Madara and the masked man..."

Before he finished speaking, the Second Hokage frowned and said:
"Strange, his chakra has disappeared, and his subordinate who possesses the Rinnegan was also defeated by Uchiha Madara!"

"Did he really lose to the masked man?"

Seeing that his plan to profit from the loss had failed, the Second Hokage's face turned grim.

His plan was to wait until Byakuya and Uchiha Madara were both defeated and then step in to stop the two sides. But now that Uchiha Madara and the masked man have won, they need to bear the pressure from Uchiha Madara.

The ones with even uglier expressions were Shisui and Kabuto Yakushi.

For both of them, Bai Ye holds a special status. The news of Bai Ye's death was like a bolt from the blue to them, leaving them confused about the future.

But would Lord Bai Ye really die so easily? They began to doubt.
