So, could this Nine-Tails attack on the village have been orchestrated by Chen Anxia through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, controlling Madara Uchiha?
Thinking this, the talkative Hozuki Gengetsu, who couldn't hold back his words, asked while attacking Kurama, "Hey, Kurama, is the person controlling you from behind Uchiha Madara?"
Hozuki Gengetsu hadn't expected Kurama (the Nine-Tails) to respond.
Regardless of Kurama's personality or whether it wanted to respond, as far as Hozuki Gengetsu knew, Kurama, which was being controlled by Uchiha Madara, was primarily acting according to Uchiha Madara's will.
Hozuki Gengetsu, however, did not believe that Uchiha Madara would answer his question.
Not only Hozuki Gengetsu, but all the other Edo Tensei users who were watching the Nine-Tails and heard about Hozuki Gengetsu had the same thought.
But the reality was beyond their expectations.
After hearing this question and defending against another round of attacks, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) revealed a mocking smile and said, "Uchiha Madara, does he think he can control me? Don't make me laugh my head off!"
Hozuki Gengetsu hadn't expected Kurama to answer his question, let alone that Kurama's answer would be like this. He couldn't help but reply, "But weren't you already manipulated by him once?"
"Shut up!"
Upon hearing this, Kurama became enraged and fired a Tailed Beast Ball at Hozuki Gengetsu, saying, "I was careless that time, otherwise, how could a mere Uchiha Madara have controlled me?"
Those around were speechless at the sight.
They could all see that Kurama was just putting on a brave face.
If Madara Uchiha were present, he probably wouldn't have been able to say such 'tough' things.
However, Kurama's reaction and response also revealed that Kurama possesses complete self-awareness and is not under control.
This fact raises a new question.
With this question surfacing in his mind, Jiraiya couldn't help but ask, "Nine-Tails, how did you break free from the Jinchuriki's seal? And why did you attack Konoha Village?"
The others were clearly curious about this question as well, and they all turned their attention to Nine-Tailed Fox.
Upon hearing this, Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't help but recall Chen Anxia's image, and her body involuntarily shivered, her face showing a look of terror.
Then, Kurama did not answer Jiraiya's question, nor did it waste any more time, and launched another attack.
Jiraiya and the others noticed the change in Kurama's expression and were both astonished and deeply puzzled.
They all gleaned a message from the changes in Kurama's expression: Kurama's attack on Konoha must have been orchestrated by someone.
Although the person who gave the order did not manipulate the Nine-Tails' mind, they instilled a deep-seated fear in the Nine-Tails, a fear so profound that it dared not disobey the order.
So the question is, who exactly could make the Nine-Tails so terrified?
It's important to know that even Madara Uchiha, who was on par with the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, wasn't afraid of the Nine-Tails.
As soon as the question arose, the answer quickly came to everyone's mind.
The answer is... Chen Anxia!
Indeed, in the current ninja world, only Chen Anxia, who fought against four opponents and was able to kill Hashirama Senju and his three companions, possesses the strength to make the Nine-Tails fear him.
Chen Anxia also had a reason to instruct the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha.
Thinking this, Jiraiya, while fending off the Nine-Tails' attacks, shouted, "Nine-Tails, we can sit down and have a proper talk, because Chen Anxia is our common enemy."
The Nine-Tails, which was launching an attack, showed obvious fear upon hearing the name 'Chen Anxia,' and its attack became even more swift and fierce.
This confirmed to everyone that the person behind the Nine-Tailed Fox was Chen Anxia.
Jiraiya continued shouting and making grand promises, saying, "We have now gathered the power of the entire ninja world. As long as you are willing to join us, we will definitely be able to defeat Chen Anxia."
"Once you defeat Chen Anxia, you will never have to fear him again."
"We also promise you that once you join us, we will never again seal you into a Jinchūriki!"
Jiraiya originally thought that even if Kurama did not accept his invitation, it would still be swayed by it.
But to everyone's surprise, the Nine-Tailed Fox did not waver in the slightest. While launching its attack, it taunted, "You think you can defeat Chen Anxia?"
"That's wishful thinking. You can never imagine how powerful he is."
"Take Uchiha Madara for example, his strength is already strong enough in the ninja world, right?"
"But compared to Chen Anxia, he is like an egg and a stone, there is no comparison at all."
As she spoke, Nine-Tails seemed to remember something and said jokingly, "Oh, by the way, I'll tell you something."
“I once fought Chen Anxia, but I was defeated by Chen Anxia in just one exchange.”
The Nine-Tails' words sent a huge shock through Jiraiya and the others.
Meanwhile, Jiraiya and Kurama's words also stirred up a storm in the player world.
Players know a little about Chen Anxia, but not much, because Chen Anxia is too mysterious.
What they knew most was the Third Hokage of Konoha and the fact that Hashirama Senju and three others died at the hands of Chen Anxia.
As for Chen Anxia's specific strength, they were unaware of it.
Therefore, they never expected that Jiraiya would gather the power of the entire ninja world in order to deal with Chen Anxia.
And yet, they still weren't confident they could deal with Chen Anxia, and even wanted to bring Nine-Tailed Fox into the fray.
They could hardly imagine just how powerful Chen Anxia was, that Jiraiya would go to such lengths to defeat the Nine-Tails in a single exchange.
It should be noted that those besieging the Nine-Tails at this time were all legendary ninjas renowned throughout the ninja world, who could be said to have stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world.
However, they could only surround the Nine-Tails and were unable to defeat it for a long time.
Not only them, but also the deceased ancestors who were resurrected through the impure world were deeply shaken and found it difficult to calm down for a long time.
They originally thought they had overestimated Chen Anxia's strength as much as possible, but judging from Jiuwei's words, it seems they still underestimated Chen Anxia.
They also found it hard to imagine how a human could be so powerful.
Due to their fluctuating emotions, their combat effectiveness declined to varying degrees.
This gave the Nine-Tails a chance to counterattack.
However, before the Nine-Tails could rise up, a mysterious person wearing a white mask and carrying an Uchiha fan suddenly appeared in front of the Nine-Tails.
......
Chapter 645 The Captured Nine-Tailed Fox, the True Chess Player!
The sudden appearance of this mysterious figure startled everyone present.
Then, as if he had discovered something, Hozuki Gengetsu exclaimed in surprise, "That's Uchiha Madara's Uchiha fan? Could he be Uchiha Madara!?"
Hozuki Gengetsu's words acted as a fuse, instantly igniting the topic, and Edo Tensei users, ordinary ninjas, and players alike couldn't help but join in.
"The Uchiha fan is indeed Madara Uchiha's weapon. It seems there's no mistake. He is Madara Uchiha."
"But what's with Madara Uchiha's outfit? Why is he wearing a white mask?"
"I don't know, but how others dress is their own business, and we don't need to pry into it."
"Strange, why would Madara Uchiha appear at this time?"
"It's strange. Logically speaking, both Madara Uchiha and the Nine-Tails are behind Chen Anxia. Why does it seem like Madara Uchiha wants to stop the Nine-Tails?"
"Perhaps Madara Uchiha has already broken free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation."
"That's possible, after all, he's Uchiha Madara!"
"If it's Uchiha Madara, then we can rest assured, after all, he once controlled the Nine-Tails."
......
Among those present, only the high-ranking members of Konoha, namely Jiraiya, Kakashi, and others, had solemn expressions.
They all knew that the mysterious masked man in front of them was not Uchiha Madara.
However, they did not expose it, because the timing was clearly inappropriate.
The mysterious masked man, Obito Uchiha, heard the exclamations and discussions around him and couldn't help but sneer.
Obito Uchiha originally intended to infiltrate Konoha to investigate matters concerning the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Obito Uchiha never expected that his timing would be so coincidental, as he would encounter the second Nine-Tails attack.
As for the first Nine-Tails attack, the mastermind behind it was Obito Uchiha.
The original Obito Uchiha would not have cared about the life or death of Konoha Village. In fact, in Obito's mind, it would have been better if Konoha Village had been destroyed by the Nine-Tails.
However, after hearing Jiraiya's words, Obito Uchiha, who knew about the existence of the Shinobi Alliance, changed his mind.
Although Obito Uchiha viewed Konoha as an enemy, he shared a common enemy with Konoha, namely Chen Anxia.
In Obito Uchiha's mind, Chen Anxia posed a far greater threat than Konoha.
Therefore, Obito Uchiha temporarily put aside his hatred for Konoha and stepped in to help Konoha.
The purpose was to better preserve Konoha's fighting strength, so that they could better lead the Ninja Alliance to fight Chen Anxia to the death.
At that time, he could reap the benefits, take the opportunity to revive the Ten-Tails, and use the Ten-Tails to create a world where Rin exists.
As for the people around him mistaking him for Madara Uchiha, that was originally Obito Uchiha's doing.
Because Obito Uchiha didn't want to reveal his identity; only in this way could he better execute his plan.
Kurama was also taken aback when it saw Obito Uchiha suddenly appear.
Kurama (the Nine-Tails) would not mistake the Sharingan, unique to the Uchiha clan, or Madara Uchiha's Uchiha fan.
But it was precisely because Kurama couldn't mistake him that it knew the mysterious masked man in front of it wasn't Uchiha Madara, because the patterns on their Sharingan were different.
As if realizing something, the Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes narrowed slightly, and it murmured, "You are..."
Knowing that Kurama had recognized him, Obito Uchiha did not hesitate and immediately used Kamui, taking Kurama into the Kamui dimension before Kurama could reveal his identity.
Those present looked at each other in bewilderment after seeing Obito Uchiha disappear with the Nine-Tails, unsure of what to say.
At the same time, they all felt a sense of relief, as if they had survived a catastrophe.
Jiraiya, Kakashi, and the reanimated beings were full of questions, but they knew that now was not the time to investigate.
In any case, it's good that the crisis of the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage has been resolved.
On the other side, Kurama was venting its fury in the Kamui dimension, firing Tailed Beast Balls like crazy, as if they were free.
Obito Uchiha remained expressionless and did not intervene.
