Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 444 Protecting Granny

Madara Uchiha and Onoki chatted about information about Obito.

Madara Uchiha was very anxious, worried that Obito would get the secret from him and become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki first.

But he also knew that there was no time to rush things.

He had to tell Onoki the details of Obito's situation so that Onoki could find a way to gather other ninjas together to stop Obito and have a chance of winning.

Otherwise, if we let Onoki rush over alone, he would just be throwing his life away.

Whether it was Madara vs. the Five Kage in the original timeline, or Madara and Onoki vying for his affections now, Madara has come to realize Onoki's current capabilities.

Onoki's decades as Tsuchikage were not for nothing, and his participation in several Shinobi World Wars was not for nothing either; he has a wealth of combat experience.

Don't be fooled by Hozuki Gengetsu's seniority; despite being a second-generation Kage and a generation older than Onoki, it's all for naught.

Those of high seniority often have short lifespans.

An extreme example is Minato Namikaze.

During the Boruto era, Naruto encountered difficulties and even asked Minato Namikaze's portrait, "Dad, what should I do?"

Minato Namikaze said in the Pure Land that he was younger than Naruto is now when he died, so what's the point of asking?

But simply being "old" isn't enough; you have to be able to play high-level games.

Therefore, those who meet these conditions are, first, Ōnoki, and second, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, even if he were to actually come, Madara wouldn't even consider him a threat, let alone the fact that he's currently impersonating Danzo and being chased.

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi was a disciple of Tobirama, who was born evil.

Speaking of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the other Hiruzen Sarutobi was eventually caught up.

Unfortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't a speed-type ninja. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't really shake off the pursuers, even with Jiraiya's constant attempts to persuade Onoki to return first.

Most importantly, Granny Chiyo couldn't hold on any longer.

Originally, Granny Chiyo was quite happy to see these people arguing and fighting over her.

Granny Chiyo was a playful old woman, and she didn't dislike her; in fact, she didn't want to resist.

But there was nothing they could do; Hiruzen Sarutobi was an Edo Tensei, and so was Gengetsu Hozuki, who was chasing him.

Even if Jiraiya and Roshi weren't resurrected using Edo Tensei, they still had a chance to rest.

But Grandma Chiyo didn't have the chance.

She was held hostage by Danzo the whole time and didn't even have a chance to go to the toilet.

Even if she has healthy kidneys, she can't go this long without going to the toilet.

Finally, Granny Chiyo began to struggle.

Granny Chiyo first used the poison pack, and was surprised to find that Danzo was completely unaffected by the poison gas.

On the contrary, Jiraiya, who caught up from behind, accidentally inhaled some of it, clutched his neck, fell to the ground, and sobbed.

"Old man, you're playing dirty tricks, aren't you—"

Jiraiya only saw a wisp of mist flowing from Danzo's body and assumed it was some message left to him by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

When I ran over and smelled it, it turned out to be poison!

After Jiraiya collapsed, he hurriedly bit his finger and summoned the toad of Mount Myōboku.

"Help, help me—wait!"

Jiraiya was sucked up by the toad, and all the poison was drawn out.

Meanwhile, on Danzo's side, after Granny Chiyo discovered that the poison was ineffective, she directly threw out chakra threads, tripping Danzo.

Thus, Danzo was finally intercepted.

"Damn Danzo, he can run so fast and hide so well!"

Hozuki Gengetsu gritted his teeth and rushed forward, pinning Danzo down before he could get up from the ground.

Hozuki Gengetsu possesses a precise long-range attack technique called the Water Gun Technique, which involves making a pistol shape with both hands and firing water-escape bullets.

The speed and accuracy of this are theoretically much higher than those of throwing shuriken and kunai.

Therefore, Hozuki Gengetsu doesn't need to worry about accidentally hurting Granny Chiyo.

But to his surprise, despite chasing and firing all the way, he didn't hit a single shot.

Danzo is incredibly good at dodging.

Even Lao Zi, who was at the very back, seemed confused.

He wondered if Danzo had often sparred with his best friend, the Third Hokage, and the Third Hokage had used the Shuraken Shadow Clone Technique to train him.

however……

Hozuki Gengetsu punched Danzo in the face.

Danzo did not respond.

The Third Hokage truly lives up to his title as the "Professor of the Ninja World," as he still hasn't been able to undo his transformation technique.

but.

"That guy is also a reanimated body, so we don't need to hold back!"

Grandma Chiyo's voice came through.

Hozuki Gengetsu immediately countered with a Water Gun, aiming it at Danzo's head.

Hiruzen Sarutobi tried to dodge, but Roshi rushed up and pinned him down.

With a bang.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has finally turned back into his original form.

the other side.

Since there was nothing to hide in the desert, Granny Chiyo took out a scroll, threw out three puppets, and used them to block the view while she was using the toilet.

When Chiyo returned from the toilet, she was also stunned.

What about Danzo?

Why is it this old thing from the third generation?

"Alright, I get it now. Sarutobi, you old codger, does that mean all those bad things Danzo Inui is rumored to have done were actually committed by you disguised as him?"

Grandma Chiyo suddenly realized something, and her face lit up with a look of sudden realization.

"It must be! Sarutobi is too evil, just like that bastard Onoki. None of the Third Kage were any good!"

Even when Old Purple was scolding Hiruzen Sarutobi, he still didn't forget to bring up Onoki.

"You've misunderstood..."

When Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that he had been exposed, he decided to reveal his plan to deliberately take away Granny Chiyo in order to avoid Madara Uchiha.

"That's right, Jiraiya is his disciple. That Jiraiya guy must be in cahoots with him! No wonder this guy kept stopping us from pursuing him, now I understand!"

Lao Zi suddenly realized this.

All eyes turned to Jiraiya, who had just arrived after being cured of the poison.

Jiraiya's lips swelled up like Kakashi's after being sucked by a toad.

"Jiraiya!"

"Everyone, please don't panic, let me explain!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew this wasn't the time to argue; arguing would only make things worse. He quickly created several shadow clones and, ignoring everyone else's attempts to stop him, began to explain forcefully.

This avoids situations where people say, "I won't listen, I won't listen."

at last.

Thanks to Hiruzen Sarutobi's manipulation, the group, who had previously been fighting independently, finally exchanged information and learned that they were all working to stop Madara Uchiha.

Granny Chiyo also shared her information, namely, the information about reincarnation and the cycle of rebirth, and how the first resurrection leads to the subsequent resurrection.

Upon learning this, everyone was relieved, for their guesses were indeed correct; Madara Uchiha was indeed plotting something!

"Grandma Chiyo, you shouldn't go back to Sunagakure. It's too dangerous for you to stay with Madara Uchiha. Why don't you go hide in Konoha?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi offered a suggestion.

"Why go to Konoha? Go to Iwagakure! I'll personally guard the camp for Granny Chiyo!"

Old Zi snorted coldly.

"Jiraiya and I will guard the camp together to protect Granny Chiyo and keep her safe!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was not to be outdone.

Hozuki Gengetsu stood to the side, stroking his little mustache, seemingly not understanding what was going on.

That's strange. Everyone has already said it out loud, so why are they still fighting over Granny Chiyo?
