Chapter 523: A Wise Man Knows When to Give Up

Chapter 523 - A Wise Man Knows When to Give Up

Right now, Obito and Kisame were completely dumbfounded.

They were fighting seriously, and suddenly these five beings from the afterlife appeared—what the hell?!

One Edo Tensei was already troublesome, and now there were five of them!

From a two-on-one fight, it suddenly turned into a five-on-two!

And these were five people with unlimited chakra and tireless, immortal bodies!

Izanagi Obito was theoretically stronger than an Edo Tensei body—even unafraid of being sealed—but its duration was limited!

Meanwhile, the opponents' Edo Tensei bodies had no time limit at all.

How could they win?

It was absolutely impossible!

Dirty players!

"You bastards! You... you revived the entire Akatsuki?!"

"You're controlling them to fight me?! Who the hell are you?!"

Obito glared at Nagato (Edo Tensei) with a terrifying face, growling with hatred.

Facing this Edo Tensei version of the Akatsuki's siege wasn't just about weakness and threat.

It was like seizing the organization that should have belonged to Obito, giving him a big green hat, and even mocking him to his face!

Absolutely intolerable!

"Oi, oi, oi! Tobi, where are you looking? You haven't answered me! Bastard, you dare to look down on me?!"

Deidara on the right saw that Obito wasn't even looking at him, still busy questioning Nagato, causing his anger to surge.

Tobi's cheerful and silly personality used to ease the tension within Akatsuki. But now, all of that felt like mockery and deception—as if he had been played for a fool.

Deidara was naturally furious.

But Obito still refused to look at him. He had absolutely no mood to act as Tobi and argue with Deidara, even though Tobi's personality was actually his true nature.

Silence and ignoring him was the greatest insult to Deidara.

"Bastard, I'll blow you up!"

Deidara tore off his cloak, took out a lump of clay, and prepared to put it into the large mouth on his chest—to create the ultimate spectacular explosion art.

After all, the allies around him were immortal Edo Tensei bodies.

This was the perfect opportunity to showcase his art!

But just as he prepared to launch his jutsu, Sasori stopped him with chakra threads.

"Idiot! He's still in Izanagi, your explosion can't kill him. At least wait until his eye technique runs out before attacking."

Sasori sighed, completely exasperated. Deidara usually had high combat intelligence, but when emotional, his IQ immediately dropped to negative numbers.

No wonder he lost to Sasuke.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

On the other hand, Obito was far from relaxed like them.

He was already terrified, cold sweat pouring down.

If he and Kisame had a sliver of hope before, now facing five Edo Tensei, there was absolutely no chance of winning!

Obito even secretly considered whether Kisame should hold them off to give him a chance to escape.

Although it was a bit cruel, as long as he could escape, there was still a possibility of turning the tables in the future...

As for the Rinnegan?

Now Obito didn't dare to hope anymore.

With the opponents' terrifying power, even the Five Kage would kneel, let alone him alone?

Just as Obito hesitated—

Suddenly, Kisame spoke first, directly asking Nagato:

"Boss, if we surrender, can we be allowed to live?"

Kisame lowered Samehada, his tone casual but firm.

"Oh? You want to surrender?"

"Of course!"

Nagato (Edo Tensei) glanced at Itachi, then looked at Kisame, before answering:

"Yes. You're still a member of Akatsuki, just being used by someone. I can forgive you!"

"Thank you, Boss!"

Kisame smiled, then immediately jumped out of the encirclement.

And landed beside Itachi (Edo Tensei).

In just a few seconds, with two lines of conversation.

Kisame, Akatsuki's most loyal member, decisively abandoned Obito and joined Nagato's side!

Obito only realized it when Kisame had already switched sides.

"You bastard Kisame, you betrayed me too?!"

Obito's face contorted, almost shattered, his eyes bulging with anger.

Kisame waved his hand, a little embarrassed but still firm:

"Don't say 'betrayal'! If both of us die, there's no hope at all. If at least one person survives, there's still a chance for revenge... There's a saying: 'A wise man knows when to give up,' right?"

"Especially in this situation, I have no chance of winning against Itachi!"

"I'd better just surrender."

Kisame wasn't stupid. As a true man, he wasn't afraid of death—but he had to die with value.

Dying to protect information was different from dying in vain.

The latter was meaningless.

Moreover, Kisame was well aware that he was no match for Itachi!

If Itachi were still alive and sickly, there might still be a chance.

But facing the healthy, weakness-free Edo Tensei version of Itachi? Kisame knew he couldn't win.

Not to mention—

Besides Itachi, there were still Nagato and several other experts.

Impossible to win, absolutely!

"Itachi, long time no see! We're allies again!"

Kisame looked at Itachi, the feeling of reunion was always special.

Especially going from enemies to sudden allies.

"Good, you chose correctly."

Itachi nodded, confirming that Kisame had made the right choice.

Otherwise, Kisame's fate would be endless torture within the Tsukuyomi genjutsu.

Honestly, Itachi also had a good impression of Kisame—he didn't want to kill him.

Fortunately, Kisame knew his limits.

"Actually, I wanted to fight again, but now I have no chance of winning. I'm forced to surrender."

"Even if you weren't injured, you still couldn't defeat me."

Itachi responded flatly, as if stating an undeniable fact.

"Itachi, you've become more open after death, huh? You wouldn't have been this blunt before..."

"Really?"

Itachi and Kisame's reunion chat made Obito even more furious.

"Kisame, I'll kill you!"

"Madara-sama... or should I say Obito-san. Sorry, but you'd better give up. With this formation, you have no chance of winning..."

Kisame even tried to persuade Obito to surrender—this was also his honesty.

He still agreed with Obito's Eye of the Moon Plan, but hope and reality were different.

To still have a chance of realizing it, it was better not to die in vain here!

Of course, Kisame had briefly considered holding them off to give Obito a chance to escape...

But facing Deidara who could fly, Obito without Kamui had no chance of escaping.

It was more likely that both of them would die, and the Eye of the Moon Plan would end. So even if he had to betray Obito, Kisame didn't want both of them to die...

"Shut up! A traitor like you has no right to speak!"

Obito, already alone and losing his mind, didn't listen at all.

Nagato (Edo Tensei) understood—no one could convince Obito in this state.

"Uchiha Obito."

"Last time: are you going to surrender?"

Nagato asked coldly, this was his last tolerance.

"Impossible!"

"I won't lose! I won't accept this hellish world! I will destroy it!"

Obito shouted, unleashing all his power.

Stepping on the sea surface until it shattered, he shot out like black lightning, attacking Nagato fearlessly.

"In that case... Kill him!"

Nagato gave the order. The five Edo Tensei immediately attacked Obito.
