White Tiger Konan (Part 2)

"Boom..." The large sheet of white paper, surrounded by Issui, exploded with a deafening roar...

"Eye of Heaven: Dust, Sumeru World." Issui opened the Sumeru World and immediately entered. Even so, his entire body was covered in black, and blood was constantly flowing down his right arm. If he hadn't escaped quickly enough, he would probably be dead by now. Konan's reaction speed and her mysterious Paper Release were too powerful. He almost suffered a great loss. However, this was also because Issui underestimated her. He originally thought that Konan's paper escape technique wasn't that powerful, but Konan's Paper Release was so skillful that it was impossible to defend against.

Issui returned to the mortal world from the Sumeru World. The paper prison had already exploded, and Konan was looking at him in surprise.

"How could you..." Konan was slightly surprised. Although she didn't understand what had just happened, she could still detect the distortion of space when Issui entered the real world from the Sumeru World. Was it somewhat similar to Madara's spatial ability? If so, that would be troublesome.

"Heh, you're pretty good. You made me suffer a bit right from the start. I underestimated you," Issui said calmly.

"You're quite good too, managing to dodge so many of my consecutive attacks. I could believe it if it were a highly experienced ninja, but for someone your age to fight me so fiercely, your strength and wisdom are both outstanding," Konan praised.

"Things won't be so easy from here on out. I'm going to show you my true abilities. Eye of Heaven: Flame, Flame Body!!!" Issui immediately used the Flame Body technique, his entire body gradually turning into flames. And that wasn't all; the originally bright red flames gradually turned into flames interwoven with black and gold.

Seeing Issui like this, Konan's expression turned serious. A pair of wings made of a large number of white papers gradually solidified, and a large number of white papers also fluttered around her. It looked beautiful and graceful, but in reality, there was great danger beneath the beautiful appearance. Each of those white papers was Explosive Tag, a deadly Explosive Tag.

"Fire Style: Joined Fingers Four Flame Shooting!" With Issui solemn expression, Yi Shui stretched out his left hand into the air, his thumb clenched inward, and his four fingers straight and together, pointing at Konan. Gradually, four black-gold light orbs appeared at the tips of his fingers. In Setsuna, the four light orbs transformed into rays and shot towards Konan at the speed of light. Only a blurry light or shadow could be seen before these rays passed through Konan's body.

Konan's body suddenly turned into a large amount of white paper, and then coalesced again. However, she was not unharmed. Bright red blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and there were four small blood holes on her shoulders, from which blood dripped.

Konan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, "Such speed! I didn't even notice I was injured. Looks like I need to show some strength, otherwise I'll be too weak."

"Puff... puff... puff..."

Numerous pieces of paper flew out from Konan's body, then gathered together to form a giant white dove. The dove flapped its wings and flew towards Issui, occasionally spitting out tiny paper sticks from its beak. Each Senbon towards Issui from a different direction, and each paper Senbon was as small as a hair, so that no trace of its trajectory could be seen.

No matter how calm Ren Issui was, he felt a chill run down his spine. This seemingly peaceful environment concealed hidden dangers. And now it was night, making it difficult to see so many tiny paper Senbon with the naked eye. Perhaps at any moment, a large Senbon would explode around him. Although his fiery body was immune to physical attacks, those exploding paper Senbon were not ordinary physical attacks, but energy attacks. If his fiery body were torn to pieces by the violent explosion, he would lose a lot of spiritual energy.

"Senbon Pine Needle Rain!" Konan murmured.

Instantly, an explosion was heard, followed by another. Gradually, only the sound of explosions could be heard throughout the world. The fiery body seemed to be collapsing amidst the explosions, and its Issui intact fiery body was now shattered into pieces.

"Fire Style: Flame Formation!!!"

Left with no other choice, Issui immediately erected a towering circular pillar of fire around his body, enveloping Issui completely and blocking all the explosions. Only then did Issui breathe a sigh of relief, gradually recovering from his fiery body and returning to his physical form. He began to pant heavily, as his fiery body had consumed a great deal of energy and he no longer had the strength to sustain it. He suddenly felt powerless to do anything. He had originally thought that the mere Paper Release was nothing to fear, but in a real battle, it was a real headache. Konan's Paper Release was Thousand Transformations and could not be described in a simple way.

"Heaven-Sealing Locking Restriction!!!"

Konan gave Issui no time to catch her breath. The giant white doves flying in the sky gradually separated, sealing off a space of more than ten meters around Issui, forming thick white walls. On the ground between the four paper walls was a huge character for "forbidden," and in the air was a huge character for "lock."

Issui, who was at the center of Konan's attack, changed his expression. His Chakra energy became somewhat stagnant, and his movements slowed down. This wouldn't do. If he followed her step by step, his mind would become more and more tired. That would be troublesome. I guess Konan had already planned this. In a pure contest, she was indeed no match for me, but she was using fierce attacks to wear down my reactions. When I was mentally exhausted, she would deliver a heavy blow, and I would probably lose to her.

Originally, Issui did not want to use the Secret Technique of the Heaven Clan, because such Secret Technique would more or less have some effect on the body. Issui had only memorized the Secret Technique he obtained from the ruins of the Heaven Clan, but had never used them. He had always used the Eye of Heaven Secret Technique of each stage, but had not used a single true Kekkei Genkai Secret Technique.

There are some differences between Kekkei Genkai Secret Technique and the Eye of Heaven Secret Technique. The Eye of Heaven Secret Technique automatically obtains power from the eye once the Eye of Heaven is activated at each stage, and the eye controls this power. Kekkei Genkai Secret Technique, on the other hand, rely on the Kekkei Genkai be activated.

"The mystery lies in the North, where the true spirit is revealed, with the Frost Formation; the mystery lies in the South, where the true spirit is revealed, with the Flame Formation; the mystery lies in the East, where the true spirit is revealed, with the Thunder Formation; the mystery lies in the West, where the true spirit is revealed, with the Wind Formation; the mystery lies in the Center, where the true spirit is revealed, with the Earth Formation. Ren-Wei-Mao-Yin-Zi, the Heaven Forbidden Technique: Divine Might Like a Prison!!!"

Issui stirred the blood in his body, and gradually his whole body began to turn red and purple. His hands quickly Hand Seals. When the last seal was completed, five blood-red figures shot out from Issui's body, and Issui, whose whole body had turned red and purple, gradually returned to normal, but his face was as pale as paper.

Five blood-red figures gradually solidified, and a breathtaking scene unfolded before everyone's eyes. The five solidified figures each had a different posture, standing in five different directions of heaven and earth.

Standing to the north was a bewitching woman with a snake's tail and a human body. She held two crystal-clear swords in her hands, and was surrounded by a great deal of frost. The ground beneath her was frozen solid, making it a veritable Land of Frost.

Standing to the south is a woman riding a large, fiery red bird. She holds a scepter, wears a crown, and bursts of flames erupt from her body. The earth beneath her cracks, spewing out magma from time to time.

Standing to the east was a burly man riding a purple dragon. He held a sword with a hook in his hand, and lightning flashed in his eyes. Purple lightning flickered around him, and lightning bolts from the sky would occasionally fall and enter his body.

Standing to the west is a handsome man with the body of a horse, the torso of a human, and the head of a horse. He holds a ten-foot-long silver spear, carries a longbow on his back, and has a quiver of arrows hanging from his horse. Blue gusts of wind blow around him from time to time, and the sky above changes color.

Standing in the center was a man with a dragon's head, a tortoise's body, and a snake's tail. This man looked exactly like Issui, except that his eyes were golden, and he held a chain in his hands with a solemn expression.

Looking at the strange scene beneath her, Konan wondered what it was. It resembled Pain's Six Paths of Pain; judging by its appearance, it was no ordinary being. She realized she might truly have no way to kill it today. However, she had prepared something special for it, hoping to spare its life...

"The Divine Prison Locking Shackles Paper Technique!

Konan's entire body transformed into white paper, plunging down and sticking to the white walls that had previously stood beside Issui. The words "Forbidden" and "Locked" on the sky and ground instantly turned blood red. She was prepared to perish together with Issui, killing this boy would reduce some trouble for Nagato and Yahiko's ideals.

Gradually, the four paper walls began to turn a faint red, as if about to burst open, and the cracks gradually widened...

Without any worry, Issui opened his mouth and softly said, "Vast Divine Might!"

As soon as Issui finished speaking, the five magical men and women beside him suddenly vanished. Then, the sky cleared abruptly, and a storm raged with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. The entire battlefield suddenly changed. The paper walls that were about to explode all disappeared, and a palace stood tall on the stormy land. At the very top of the palace sat a jade throne that shone with a lustrous sheen, and kneeling in the center of the palace was a woman with light blue-purple hair. This woman was Konan.

"What's going on? Why am I kneeling here? Why should I kneel before you, and why don't I feel any resistance at all?" Konan asked, puzzled.

Issui arrogantly declared, "You can see this as Genjutsu, or you can see it as reality. This world is now under my control, and anyone here is someone I can slaughter and manipulate at will."

Konan said in disbelief, "How is that possible? I remember using that technique on you. Even if you weren't injured, with the power of that technique, it shouldn't have been completely silent. That kind of technique can't just disappear suddenly."

"Indeed, your technique is powerful, but my forbidden technique is even more powerful. You must be very confident in your technique, but I have already considered this. Let me briefly explain my forbidden technique. To talk about this forbidden technique, the first thing to mention is my Heavenly Kekkei Genkai. Forbidden techniques performed by Kekkei Genkai power will cause some kind of damage to oneself. My technique is to extract a portion of blood from the body to complete it..." Issui stopped halfway through his sentence, giving Konan time to think.
