Chapter 150: The Fourth Great Ninja War—Declaration of War!
"The Uchiha clan, inherently evil, is truly the root of chaos!"
"With so many of us against you, your Moon Eye Plan is doomed to fail!"
Senju Tobirama spoke up, his voice filled with disdain, his prejudice against the Uchiha clan laid bare for all to hear.
"Hahaha!"
"You old fool, do you really think you're qualified to talk about this?"
"Think about how your Senju clan was wiped out!"
"Truly laughable!"
Though Uchiha Obito no longer cared about his Uchiha identity, he couldn't stand Tobirama's arrogant attitude. He fired back with scathing words.
The events of Konoha's past were well-known across the ninja world, making them the perfect ammunition for his retort.
"Tch!"
Tobirama's face darkened with anger. The mistakes made during his era—particularly his choice of disciples, like Hiruzen Sarutobi—were wounds he could never erase.
Fuming, Tobirama was the first to attack.
At this point, both sides knew there was no room for negotiation. Uchiha Obito had no intention of surrendering, nor of abandoning the plan he'd spent years preparing.
"So be it!"
"I, hereby, declare the Fourth Great Ninja War!"
The moment Obito's words fell, the battlefield erupted into chaos.
Surrounding the Akatsuki members, shadows began to emerge—summoned figures brought back to life through Edo Tensei.
These were the deceased from various ninja villages, reanimated by the Akatsuki's perfected version of Orochimaru's technique.
"What?! They're playing with the souls of the dead?! The Akatsuki must be destroyed!"
For the ninjas from villages other than Konoha, seeing their predecessors and comrades turned into tools of war enraged them.
Already boiling with anger, they now had an even greater reason to take down the Akatsuki.
Without further ado, the battle commenced.
---
Obito's objective was clear: capture the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.
While the reanimated forces and Akatsuki members held off the alliance, Obito made his move toward "Naruto."
"You won't succeed!"
Jiraiya, who was tasked with protecting "Naruto," immediately launched a fire-based jutsu at Obito.
But Obito, constantly maintaining his intangibility through Kamui, rendered the attack useless.
Jiraiya's presence was a nuisance, but Obito had already anticipated this.
"Summoning Jutsu: Gedo Statue!"
Channeling the power of his Rinnegan, Obito summoned the Gedo Statue, a massive and terrifying entity. Without hesitation, he directed it to seize "Naruto."
"Run!"
Disguised as Naruto, Minato Namikaze realized the danger immediately.
The Yin-Kurama sealed within him, sensing the Gedo Statue's presence, grew fearful and issued a warning.
The Yin-Kurama had already noticed that eight of the tailed beasts had been absorbed into the Gedo Statue. Its natural instincts told it that facing the statue would be disastrous.
Hearing Kurama's urgent tone, Minato didn't hesitate. Using the Flying Raijin Technique, he vanished from his spot, narrowly avoiding the Gedo Statue's grasp.
"That was the Flying Raijin Technique... Could it be that this isn't the real Jinchūriki?"
"But no… Kurama's chakra presence is unmistakable!"
Obito hesitated for a moment, doubting what he was seeing, but quickly dismissed the thought.
Since his cover had been blown, Minato decided there was no point in continuing the act.
With a single hand sign, he dispelled the transformation jutsu, revealing his true identity.
Looking at his former student, now his enemy, Minato couldn't help but feel a pang of regret and guilt.
Still, this was not the time for sentiment. Without a moment's delay, he attacked Obito.
---
"I see now. I almost forgot—half of Kurama's chakra is sealed within you!"
"But it doesn't matter."
"Whether it's Naruto or you, both of you will become nourishment for the Ten-Tails!"
Obito was momentarily surprised by Minato's ruse, but he quickly regained his composure.
Having faced Minato's Flying Raijin Technique before, Obito had prepared countermeasures.
Unbeknownst to Minato, Black Zetsu had set up a specialized spatial barrier in the area, specifically designed to neutralize time-space ninjutsu.
This precaution had been devised after Minato used Flying Raijin to snatch Kurama away during the Nine-Tails' attack years ago.
---
"Huh?"
"It's not working?"
Minato attempted to teleport again, intending to create some distance from the Gedo Statue. But he quickly realized that his technique was being blocked.
"No... It's a barrier! A space-time sealing technique!"
As a sealing master, Minato immediately recognized the situation. His face darkened.
Without Flying Raijin, one of his greatest advantages was nullified, significantly reducing his combat effectiveness.
"This time, there's nowhere for you to run!"
Obito sneered, confident in his plan.
He directed the Gedo Statue to launch chains from its mouth, aiming them at Minato.
Minato used Body Flicker Technique to evade the chains, but they pursued him relentlessly, like heat-seeking missiles.
---
"Sage Art: Rasengan!"
With no other option, Minato entered Sage Mode, infusing his Rasengan with senjutsu chakra to amplify its power.
He targeted the approaching chains, unleashing the Rasengan with pinpoint accuracy.
The resulting explosion was catastrophic, obliterating everything in its vicinity.
Without Flying Raijin, Minato had no means of escaping the blast radius. He was forced to endure the full force of the explosion, his Edo Tensei body regenerating the damage.
---
"Is it over?"
Dust and smoke filled the air. It was unclear whether the attack had succeeded.
But Obito's calm demeanor suggested that this was only the beginning.

Chapter 151: The Akatsuki Members Each Find Their Match
The aftermath of the explosion left Minato Namikaze's Edo Tensei body heavily damaged. While his body worked to regenerate, he realized that his attack had little to no effect on the Gedo Statue.
As the smoke cleared, Minato saw the statue still standing intact, exuding an aura of dread.
What troubled him even more was the sight of the chains from the Gedo Statue extending toward him. His body was still regenerating, and he couldn't move. A sense of foreboding overwhelmed him.
He instinctively knew that if the chains touched him, something terrible would happen. Yet, in his current state, he could do nothing but watch.
"Kamui!"
Just as Minato was about to be struck, Kakashi intervened. Using a jutsu to momentarily repel other enemies, he then activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.
With precision and force, Kakashi's Kamui distorted the space around the chains, severing them in an instant.
The attack successfully interrupted the Gedo Statue's assault, buying Minato enough time to finish regenerating.
"Curse you, Kakashi!"
Uchiha Obito's expression darkened. Once again, Kakashi had interfered with his plans.
Obito clenched his teeth, regretting that he hadn't dealt with Kakashi's Sharingan sooner. He knew that as long as Kakashi's Kamui remained in play, his own powers would be significantly restricted.
Obito decided he couldn't let this continue. While leaving the Gedo Statue to attack the others, Obito used Kamui to slip into his pocket dimension.
Moments later, he reappeared behind Kakashi.
Sensing someone behind him, Kakashi instinctively spun around, gripping a kunai to strike.
His attack passed harmlessly through Obito's intangible body.
"Still as sharp as ever, Kakashi," Obito sneered.
Obito's hand became tangible as he reached out to grab Kakashi's shoulder. Before Kakashi could react, he felt the space around him begin to distort—Obito was using Kamui to drag him into his dimension.
Kakashi found himself unable to move, caught in Obito's jutsu. His Sharingan glowed as he began to strategize his next move.
On another part of the battlefield, Chiyo confronted her grandson, Sasori.
"Chain Blades!"
Chiyo extended chakra strings, which connected to a line of kunai. With a flick of her wrists, the kunai shot forward like bullets, aimed directly at Sasori.
Sasori, calm and composed, maneuvered his puppet, Hiruko, to block the incoming projectiles. Hiruko's tail lashed out, deflecting the kunai with ease.
The surrounding Sand Village shinobi watched in horror. Sasori's grotesque modifications, including his scorpion-like tail, were unlike anything they had seen before.
"What... what is that? Is that even human?"
"No," Chiyo said solemnly. "That's not Sasori's true body. That's just his puppet armor."
"Come out and face me, Sasori!"
Sasori chuckled darkly from within Hiruko.
"Grandmother, do you know how this puppet was made? First, the organs are removed. Then the skin is carefully preserved, the blood drained, and preservatives applied. Once mechanisms are added, a human puppet is born."
"This is my art—eternal, unchanging, immortal!"
Chiyo's heart ached at Sasori's words.
"Sasori... I'll stop you, even if it means breaking you into pieces!"
Chiyo called upon her own puppets, while her brother Ebizō joined her side. Together, they prepared to fight Sasori with all their strength.
Meanwhile, at another battlefield, Deidara faced off against his former mentor, Ōnoki, the Tsuchikage.
Deidara had long since abandoned the Stone Village in pursuit of his artistic ideals. Now, he stood against his former teacher, eager to prove the superiority of his explosive art.
"Deidara, I'm giving you one last chance!" Ōnoki's voice was firm. "Surrender now and return to the Stone Village. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to bring you back by force."
"Save your breath, old man!" Deidara sneered.
"My art isn't meant to be caged in some backwater village! One day, the entire world will witness the beauty of my explosions!"
"Enough nonsense!"
Ōnoki's patience wore thin. He formed a hand sign, summoning a cube of energy into his palms.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
The translucent cube shot forward, traveling at incredible speed. If it hit, it would disintegrate its target on a molecular level.
Knowing how deadly this technique was, Deidara immediately jumped from his clay bird, narrowly avoiding the attack.
"You're serious, huh, old man?"
Ōnoki's gaze hardened.
"Deidara, you've left me no choice."
The battlefield was chaos. Members of the Akatsuki faced off against their counterparts from the ninja alliance.
Kisame Hoshigaki clashed with Might Guy in a deadly dance of taijutsu and overwhelming chakra.
Hidan, wielding his blood-soaked scythe, faced off against the Ino-Shika-Chō trio, their teamwork pushing his immortality to its limits.
Kakuzu unleashed his monstrous tendrils, battling fiercely against Darui and Samui from the Cloud Village.
Each Akatsuki member fought with deadly precision, testing the limits of their opponents' abilities.
Obito's Kamui continued to pull Kakashi into his pocket dimension.
"You've caused me enough trouble, Kakashi," Obito said coldly.
But Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan glowed brighter.
"Let's settle this once and for all, Obito!"
As the two friends-turned-enemies disappeared into the Kamui dimension, their battle became a clash of ideologies, rooted in the choices they had made in the past.
The Fourth Great Ninja War was in full swing, and its outcome would shape the future of the ninja world.
