Chapter 318: Akatsuki's Ally.

The Nine-Tails is already too powerful in their minds. Currently, in Konohagakure, apart from Minato and Hatake Satoru, it seems no one can match the complete Nine-Tails. But such a powerful Nine-Tails is merely a part of the Ten-Tails, so they dare not speculate on the true strength of the Ten-Tails.

"If Akatsuki plan really succeeds, then the ninja world is in peril."

After saying this, Minato looked at Hatake Satoru again, hoping he could think of a solution or directly take action to stop the Akatsuki organization, which would make things easier for them.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, there won't be any accidents."

Hatake Satoru said with a smile.

While the people of Konohagakure village were discussing how to deal with the Akatsuki organization, an uninvited guest suddenly visited the headquarters of the Akatsuki organization, or rather, appeared before the true body of Pain, Nagato.

"Who are you?"

Nagato, his body full of tubes and looking emaciated, stared at the man who emerged from the void, dressed entirely in white.

This man exuded a sacred aura, his eyes were Byakugan, but in the palm of his hand, there was a Rinnegan. As for whether there was a Rinnegan in his other palm, Nagato did not see.

"Otsutsuki Miki."

Upon Nagato's inquiry, the man replied coldly.

"Otsutsuki?"

Hearing this name, Nagato frowned. He had never heard of this name before, but he felt an oddly familiar sensation, not knowing where it came from.

"You're not qualified to speak to me. Call out the person behind you."

Otsutsuki Miki said again with a cold tone.

"What do you mean?"

Nagato's frown did not ease, and he became even more puzzled upon hearing Otsutsuki Miki's words.

"It seems you don't know yet, your Rinnegan was transplanted by someone else."

From the first glance at Nagato, Otsutsuki Miki sensed something unusual about Nagato's Rinnegan, and it was impossible for Nagato's bloodline to evolve a Rinnegan.

"What?"

Nagato said in a shocked tone.

Just then, the space in front of Nagato suddenly twisted, and a man wearing a Duy mask emerged from the void, arriving between the two.

This person was none other than Uchiha Obito, who went by the alias Uchiha Madara.

"It seems you are the person behind the scenes."

"Looking at the opponent's Sharingan, Otsutsuki Miki spoke with confidence.

He felt a special power from the opponent's Sharingan. Although this power was strong, it was not enough to threaten him.

"The Otsutsuki clan?"

Obito narrowed his eyes at the person before him, sensing a great threat from him, a threat that was enough to take his life.

"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I can help you complete your Eye of the Moon Plan."

At these words, Obito's eyes widened in shock.

"What exactly do you know?"

Obito asked in a tone of astonishment.

"I know everything you know, and I also know what you don't. As for the Ten-Tails you desire, it's nothing more than a pet in my eyes."

"What do you want?"

Obito asked with a serious look, knowing that there are no favors without reason in this world.

"I know that there is one person who is the biggest obstacle in your plan, and that is Hatake Satoru."

"Are you his opponent?"

Obito asked. If this person could help him stop Hatake Satoru, it would be more than he could ask for.

"No."

At this point, Otsutsuki Miki shook his head.

"Then what is your purpose for coming here?"

I may not be his opponent, but I can help you stop him for a while. Whether you can complete your plan in the time I hold him off is up to you.

"Why help us?"

Obito voiced the question in his heart, knowing that the other party would not help them without reason.

"Because he is also an enemy of our Otsutsuki clan."

However, as he said this, a look of confusion appeared on Otsutsuki Miki's face. He did not know why Hatake Satoru had become their enemy. It was just an order from the Patriarch, instructing him to observe the ninja world.

And he was told that if he encountered someone named Hatake Satoru, he should not engage him but report back immediately.

Hearing Otsutsuki Miki's response, Obito somewhat agreed in his heart. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and now he and the Otsutsuki clan were 'friends.'

But to the people of the Otsutsuki clan, they were just puppets of the Akatsuki organization.

They needed the people of the Akatsuki organization to help them capture the Tailed Beasts and cultivate the complete Ten-Tails. Then, the people of the Otsutsuki clan would absorb the Ten-Tails and achieve a more powerful evolution.

Hatake Satoru had no idea about these plans against him. He could never have imagined that the people of the Otsutsuki clan would actively seek out the Akatsuki organization.

Hatake Satoru also did not know that when they destroyed the future timeline's Otsutsuki clan, the leader of the Otsutsuki in this timeline, Otsutsuki Sato, had already received the news.

The memories of the future Sato had all been transferred into the mind of this timeline's Sato. When he received the memories from the future, he was filled with shock.

But he knew that these memories could not be false. The Otsutsuki clan of the future timeline had indeed been annihilated by two Hatake Satorus. Except for the lucky clan members who were out on missions, all the others had been absorbed by him. Even though the future him had evolved to the final form, he still lost to the opponent and was absorbed into a black hole, where the future him died."

No one can escape the gravitational pull of a black hole, and he is no exception.

That's why he ordered the Otsutsuki clan to go to the ninja world in secret to gather information about Hatake Satoru.

Knowing what would happen in the future, he had to avoid the tragedy of the Otsutsuki clan being destroyed again at all costs. However, after witnessing the opponent's strength, and seeing that even the strongest version of himself in the future was no match for the opponent, he knew that a direct confrontation would lead to the same outcome as in the future.

Therefore, he could only resort to stratagems, only to seal the opponent again. But sealing the opponent was not an easy task. Through the memories of the future, he knew that his future self could seal Hatake Satoru only by a surprise attack.

This time, to seal him again would not be so easy.
