Ch-226 Gedo statue vs Choji.

"Where was Obito last seen?" asked Raikage to Shikaku.

"Obito was last seen fighting with Naruto's real body and Kakashi," replied Shikaku immediately.

"I see. We will leave immediately for the battlefield. Inform Mizukage that it is now unnecessary to protect the Daimyos and tell her to join us in the battle," ordered Tsunade.

Shikaku nodded and said, "Yes, this will be for the best. The battle is at its peak, so Obito will not leave the battlefield, or else it will be overturned. Except for him, no one can threaten the safety of the Daimyos. I don't think he will need any Daimyo, as the main Daimyo, the Fire Country Daimyo, is under Jiryoku's protection. Without capturing the Fire Daimyo, Obito can't even think of making us surrender."

"Hmm. Okay then, let's get going. We have no time to waste," said Tsunade as she left immediately with the Raikage from the headquarters.

Obito, who was fighting Naruto and Kakashi, was having a very difficult time handling them both, as they knew his weakness and were able to counter his movements. If it were not for the help of his Rinnegan, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for this long.

At that moment, a white Zetsu appeared behind him and said, "Obito, Lord Madara has been resurrected with the help of 'Edo Tensei' by Kabuto. Currently, Lord Madara is in combat with Jiryoku and is clearly at a disadvantage. He is totally surprised in the fight by Jiryoku."

Obito's eyes widened in surprise, understanding that this must be the doing of Black Zetsu. In a way, he was also relieved because Madara was the only one capable of holding Jiryoku back.

The voice of White Zetsu was heard by Naruto and Kakashi, who received the news about what was happening.

"And one more thing: the Fifth Hokage and Fourth Raikage are on their way to the battlefield," said White Zetsu, dropping another bombshell.

"Damn it, it seems you only bring bad news," said Obito. He knew that if the other two Kages arrived, it would become increasingly difficult for him to fight them all at once.

"No, it can't go like this. I need to implement my plan as soon as possible," thought Obito. He was no fool to think he could defeat two Kages on his own. He hadn't forgotten that Naruto, who stood in front of him, was also on the same level as the Kages. Not to mention, Kakashi was also someone capable of harming him.

"It's a good thing that Hokage-sama and Raikage are arriving on the battlefield," said Kakashi, feeling relieved after hearing the news.

"Almighty Push!" Obito used Almighty Push to repel all the ninjas in front of him. As soon as he created distance, he used Kamui to leave the battlefield. After Obito left, White Zetsu immediately departed using the Mayfly technique.

"What the hell? Where did he run off to?" said Naruto in disbelief. He hadn't expected Obito to run away.

"It seems he got scared by the arrival of the Kages," said Kakashi thoughtfully.

"Maybe that's the case, but we shouldn't be careless. Otherwise, we might suffer," continued Kakashi.

"I know. We should also keep an eye on the different battlefield regions, as Obito might appear somewhere else," said Naruto.

"You're right," said Kakashi. He immediately went to one of the sensory ninjas to inform the headquarters about Obito's status.

When Shikaku received the news, he immediately informed all the battlefields and instructed them to be on high alert, as Obito might appear at any of them. Soon after he relayed the information about Obito, he received an urgent message from Ino.

Ino reported from First Division, "Obito has arrived on our battlefield, and he is not alone. He is here with the Gedo Statue."

"What!? Do you need support?" asked Shikaku anxiously.

"Do not worry, Uncle Shikaku. You are forgetting that we are not the same as before," replied Ino confidently.

"Okay, take care and let me know if you need anything," said Shikaku.

Ino smiled sweetly and said, "Okay." She then terminated the connection with Shikaku, as she had a major threat in front of her in the form of Obito and the Gedo Statue.

The Gedo Statue, summoned by Obito, roared like a wild beast and stomped on the ground, killing a few ninjas in the process.

"All of you, retreat from in front of the Gedo Statue!" ordered Choza. As Choza was the superior, all the ninjas immediately retreated without wasting any time.

As the ninjas retreated, Choji used gigantification to become enormous and engaged in a physical brawl with the Ten-Tails. Although his Chakra-enhanced fists were powerful enough to destroy small hills, they couldn't inflict even the slightest damage on the Gedo Statue. However, his attacks were not entirely useless, as they managed to push the Gedo Statue back many times. Annoyed by Choji's interference, the Gedo Statue became angry and launched a lightning attack at him, causing significant damage and pushing him back. Choji was left charred all over his body from the attack.
