Chapter 153 Mang Tho is Big Brother (Ch 153)

“White…”

Uchiha Fengyao stared at his Sharingan which had just been upgraded to three magatama. The Susanoo in the distance gradually overlapped with the “memories” he saw.

“That, that is…” His heart was beating like a drum, and his throat was choked, “Naraku…!”

“What did you say!?”

Fugaku was close and could clearly hear the faint murmur coming out of Feng Yao’s mouth.

He didn’t care about Danzo or not, he threw the person into the Uchiha group, put away Susanoo, and rushed to that direction as fast as possible.

Feng Yao lost his support and fell to the ground, but immediately got up again, a silly grin of ecstasy on his face.

In his twenty years of life, he felt that he had never been so happy as he was now, and he wanted everyone to hear: “It’s Naraku! It’s Naraku’s Susano!!”

Before he finished his words, Tsunade had disappeared from the spot, turning into a blurry shadow jumping on the roof.

Jiraiya hurried to help Kakashi up, not noticing the expression on his old friend’s face behind him.

Orochimaru showed a little understanding smile at the corner of his lips, as if he had expected this.

“Naraku…?”

Kakashi was helped up by Jiraiya. Hope gave his exhausted body a bit of strength and he ran towards the location where the white Susanoo appeared.

Hope was rekindled in the eyes of many people in the Uchiha clan, hoping that this genius was indeed still alive.

However, the ninjas on the Konoha side have not moved yet. They dare not disperse without permission. It would be dangerous if they were defeated one by one.

Including Kushina, who was at the center of the Uchiha crowd. She couldn’t just abandon Danzo like that, and could only pray anxiously that Sister Tsunade could bring Naraku back alive.

Jiraiya saw that two important figures, Uchiha Fugaku and Tsunade, had run away, so he had to stay where he was to prevent any party from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack.

…

“Get down!”

At the moment the building above collapsed due to the explosion, Naraku opened the Mangekyo in time, used Susanoo’s ribs to protect the children firmly, and propped up a hole large enough for them to live in under the layers of earth and rocks.

When the rumbling sound died down, the surroundings fell into silence, and only the nervous breathing of a few people could be heard.

The collapsed rock wall destroyed all lighting, and it was pitch dark in front of him. Shisui’s Sharingan had been closed before, so even he couldn’t see the situation clearly.

“Wazuki! Hibiki! Are you guys okay?”

“Where’s Shisui? Shisui!”

“Hana, Obito-san, are you okay?”

While everyone was asking each other questions, Shisui seemed to hear a suppressed low cough, but it was so short that it seemed like an illusion.

He felt panicky for no reason and asked in a trembling voice, “Naraku-senpai?”

“…Hmm? I’m fine.”

Fortunately, Naraku-senpai still spoke calmly as before, and even touched his little head to comfort him, and then cleared his throat to signal everyone to be quiet.

The children had long regarded Naraku as their backbone, and even if they were very scared, they would quickly shut their mouths and wait for him to speak.

“Don’t worry, I still have a solution.”

Naraku spoke in a gentle tone, showing no sign of panic from being buried underground, but instead seemed calm and composed.

“When we get to the ground, there might be enemies… Don’t be afraid of anything you see, don’t stop, and run into Konoha immediately, got it?”

“I got it! Brother Naraku!” He Yue answered crisply.

“Okay, I understand, Naraku-kun, senior.” Shisui also agreed.

“Obito,” Naraku asked softly, “Are you listening?”

After a long while, Obito replied awkwardly: “I’m not scared, Naraku, don’t treat me like a child.”

“I know… Obito, you are everyone’s elder brother…” Naraku paused, then continued, “Protect your brothers and sisters…”

The sound of someone beating their chest echoed in the small space, followed by Obito’s firm promise: “Of course!”

Naraku was probably a little tired, his breathing became increasingly obvious, but his tone was still gentle and calm.

“Okay, let’s go.”

The entire underground began to shake violently. Several people felt that the space above them was gradually expanding, the soil was stretched open, and moonlight shone through the cracks in the rocks and soil, becoming more and more, and brighter and brighter.

The children finally saw what had been protecting them all along.

The eyes that were wide open in shock were like a mirror, reflecting the white skeleton Susanoo in the smoke and dust.

The giant roared and broke through all obstacles, bringing them back to the world and bathing them in the bright silver light again.

The enemies who had blown up the base were still surrounding the place. After being surprised to see that they were not dead yet, they picked up their weapons and killed them.

“Let’s go… ahem…”

Naraku was suspended on the chest of the skeleton, breathing heavily, and then he choked and coughed twice as if he could no longer hold on, and the blood that flowed out of his mouth dyed his jaw red.

But he was still thinking about the others, and he frowned and urged again: “…Hurry up!”

Shisui’s black eyes trembled, panic and worry gripped his throat, he froze in place and couldn’t utter a word.

After Naraku cleared out the enemies from Konoha in one fell swoop, Obito was the first to regain his senses and pulled him and the rest of the children out of the encirclement through the gap, and quickly evacuated to the village under Naraku’s cover.

He took one last quick glance and saw Naraku coughing up blood while continuing his attack. He couldn’t help but shout.

“Before Naraku——”

“Shisui!”

Obito stopped him sternly, and his face, which was always filled with a silly smile, revealed anger and pain that Shisui had never seen before.

–I am the elder brother, I must…

–Protect your brothers and sisters…!

Thinking of what he had promised, Obito hated himself so much that he was so weak at the moment and all he could do was run away.

Naraku is the same age as him, but he has to abandon him at the critical moment of life and death, even though it is the wisest choice.

“We have to leave!”

“Only in this way can Naraku escape!”

…

Seeing Obito and the children gradually disappearing in the distant jungle, Naraku spit out blood while making hand seals. He shot a few flaming arrows to kill the Root that was chasing them, controlled Susanoo to block all the enemies, and continued to make hand seals.

Fire Style: Great Fire Extinguishment!

The rolling flames burned large tracts of surrounding trees, and the fire burned more and more vigorously, intercepting him and all the enemies in this devastated battlefield.

No one can catch up until the flames are out.

While Naraku was dealing with the enemy’s attack, he still had the mind to look at the two chakras within his perception range – Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.

Probably because they don’t want to expose their presence too early, they have been lurking nearby without any signs of taking any action.

Wait until all the Roots are killed by Naraku and there are no longer any living people here. That will be the best time for them to show up.

–Unfortunately, Black Zetsu’s wishful thinking will be thwarted for the time being.

Naraku released Susanoo and staggered backward, allowing the enemy to approach him.

Just when all kinds of ninjutsu and weapons were one step away, the fiery Susanoo broke through the layers of fire waves and rushed in, and the huge bony hand swept away all the attacks.

What followed was a roar.

“die–!!!”
