Suigetsu: What Amazing Explosion Scene? I'll Just Take One Look and Leave

The next day.

Naruto woke up and touched his clothes; they fit perfectly. After a headache, he staggered to wash up, carefully recalling the events of the previous night.

The three of them drank and ate, went to three different venues, and vomited twice. Finally, at the last venue, they opened up to each other and released some of their negative emotions.

Having achieved this, Naruto was relieved.

Unscrupulous bosses never worry about their employees' health, only whether it will interfere with their work. They don't care about their mental health, as long as it doesn't interfere with their business.

After quickly finishing breakfast, Naruto reopened the Gate of Hades. At the location of Iwagakure), as the three entered, a flash of golden light appeared, followed by the Gate of Hades violently collapsing once more.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them, along with the door, closed and disappeared in mid-air, leaving behind a series of tiny ripples.

At the same time.

The Land of Rain.

The rain poured down, and atop the High Tower, Nagato sat pale-faced on a stone chair. He appeared weak and listless, as if his life was nearing its end due to kidney deficiency.

Two years ago, after Jiraiya and Naruto teamed up and fought their way to Nagato's lair, utterly destroying the Pain Puppet, Nagato finally realized his mistake.

Out of respect for Jiraiya, Naruto did not pursue Nagato to the Nagato end. At the time, he also considered that if Nagato died, the Rinnegan would fall into Nagato's hands.

Naruto was unwilling to take on this hot potato, nor did he want to make contact with Obito and his Obito beforehand, so he simply gave the dying Nagato a second chance at life.

He wasn't a pushover; he just wanted Nagato alive to keep Obito and his Obito in check. In his eyes, Nagato was just a tool.

Footsteps echoed through the empty hall. Konan folded her paper wings and her high heels clicked crisply on the floor tiles.

"Nagato, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine." Nagato gripped the edge of the chair, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. He slowly raised his head, his face contorted in pain, as if he were about to breathe his last.

Have they arrived?

"Hmm." A hint of reluctance flashed across Konan's face. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Nagato, listen to me, you're in a terrible state right now."

"You can't go out at a time like this; the Kumogakure still needs you."

"I don't have much time left. Sooner or later, I'll have to end this." Nagato forced himself to stand up from the chair, enduring the pain. "I know I'm going to die soon, and thankfully they came."

"Nagato, you'll die if you do that." Konan frowned. "I'll hold them off. If all else fails, we can contact Jiraiya or Naruto."

Hearing this, Nagato remained silent. He felt guilty towards Naruto Jiraiya, Nagato knew very well that the man had only helped him to keep Uchiha Madara.

To die properly when it's time to die. That was his only purpose in life, his destiny. But he couldn't tell Konan any of this, because...

He looked up at Konan, a barely perceptible trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.

"Don't want."

"I was supposed to die anyway, and I'm already satisfied with just clinging to life. Jiraiya- sensei can't save me, and I'm not afraid of death. I'm living only to take revenge on them."

"Whatever you do, whatever you do, don't let them get my eyes. If they succeed, take my eyes and don't look back. Go to Konohagakure and find Naruto Uzumaki."

Konan stared at the panting Nagato with complicated emotions, pondered for a moment, and then nodded. Ultimately, she had nothing more to say, sighed, and turned to leave.

Amegakure was battered by the wind and rain, submerged in the mist. In the hazy light, only one figure stood atop the High Tower, silently overlooking the village and its surroundings.

The next moment, a huge wing unfurled behind the figure, and it suddenly flew away into the wind and rain.

Outside Amegakure.

Sasuke and his group looked up at the rain and mist filling the sky and stopped in their tracks.

"Sasuke, we'll sneak into Amegakure. Those guys will be so surprised, won't they?" Suigetsu reached out and touched the raindrops, a smug smile spreading across his face.

There are water everywhere here, which is like coming home for Suigetsu, who can liquefy. It's like opening fire on an armory.

The rain and mist continued to fall around them. Sasuke didn't respond, but instead carefully observed his surroundings. Karin, standing to the side, glanced at Suigetsu and spoke up.

"Suigetsu, be careful. According to intelligence, this is not a small village. The former leader of Akatsuki Organization is not dead and has been hiding in this village all along."

"Okay, okay," Suigetsu said, shrugging. "We're just here to watch the show, not to fight those guys."

"Let's see if we can take advantage of the chaos," Karin said, adjusting her glasses.

Jugo his massive, mountain-like frame, stood behind the three, his expression unchanged. He had already sensed the unusual situation in the village, but only glanced at Karin.

Karin's reconnaissance abilities are far superior to his. Under normal circumstances, Jugo's use of Natural Energy and information fed back by small animals is merely supplementary.

"There are two very strong people in the village; getting close might kill you. Uchiha Madara has probably arrived as well; he's on the other side of the village, just like us, on the outskirts," Jugo said.

"Ha! That damned Uchiha Madara is finally here!" Suigetsu shouted excitedly, clenching his fist.

"Idiot!" Karin shook her head, holding her head. "We can't afford to offend anyone here. We're here to pick up the scraps, not to get beaten up."

"Be careful, we'll only operate on the edge," Sasuke said.

"Tch!" Suigetsu shrugged. "I know, I know. If I ever run into Uchiha Madara, even if I can't beat him, I'll still try to slash him a couple of times."

"Stop complaining. If you actually ran into someone like that, you'd probably die here. Don't spout these meaningless nonsense," Karin retorted mercilessly.

"I just didn't have a suitable weapon. I was planning to ask around on the way to find out where the Seven Ninja Swords of Hidden Mist were, but I didn't hear a single word about it," Suigetsu complained.

"Come on! Coward!"

"Who are you calling a coward? Who has risked their life to protect you every time?" Suigetsu said confidently, silently repeating to herself, never expecting that she would risk her life to protect them so many times.

"Stop arguing!" Jugo advised.

"Back here again. Looks like these people are doing pretty well." Obito said in a flat voice, his face masked.

"Who knows? The people here can't see the sky above them," Black Zetsu said with a sinister smile. "We don't know when it will rain, or when the sun will shine."

"It's like the sky is wearing a mask; you never know when it will change."

The cold rain continued to fall, but Obito Uchiha paid no heed to Black Zetsu's words. From that moment on, revenge and resurrecting Uchiha Madara were no longer his top priorities.

He wanted to revive Rin, even if he didn't know if it was true or not, he wanted to try. As for Black Zetsu's attitude, it didn't matter; Obito knew that Black Zetsu had no power to stop him.

Before that, he must retrieve the Rinnegan from Nagato. This was an eye that Uchiha Madara had implanted in Nagato; it did not belong to Nagato.

Now that Nagato is no longer of any value and his power has weakened to its limit, it's time to reclaim the Rinnegan.

"Changed?" Obito glanced at Black Zetsu. "Is your information accurate? Every time we face that Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, we're on the defensive. Didn't you say the Nine-Tails is still inside him?"

"I also want to carry out the plan, but now that Nagato has been destroyed, Sasuke and his group are out of control. How can we capture the Tailed Beast? If we can't capture them all at once, what's the point?"

"The intelligence is correct, but Naruto Uzumaki is a variable." Black Zetsu was stung by Obito's words and said coldly, "This guy is too strange, and he knows too much."

Black Zetsu actually wanted to say that this person was ruthless and had a foul mouth. But thinking of Naruto's trash talk, he immediately lost interest in mentioning it, to avoid ruining his mood.

"Naruto Uzumaki is indeed a hidden danger, but there's no way to get rid of him right now," Obito agreed, though in reality, he couldn't possibly take action against Naruto anymore.

Even though the opponent possessed Rin, Obito was still wary of her, despite her Impure World Reincarnation Edo Tensei. If he had firmly believed that the Impure World Reincarnation Rin was not the real Rin, his mind would have been clear, and he could have acted without restraint.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do it and was completely at Naruto's mercy. Moreover, Naruto had already promised to revive Rin, requiring only a pair of Rinnegan and his life.

Obito was almost numb; he lived only for revenge. He wanted to create a world with Rin, and if he could truly revive her, he would do anything.

These thoughts flashed through his mind for only a moment, without showing on his face. Black Zetsu was also unaware of Obito's thoughts, only feeling somewhat dissatisfied with his recent slack performance.

For millennia, Black Zetsu has relentlessly instigated wars between the Indra and Asura clans, but all his attempts have failed. He finally encountered a promising talent Uchiha Madara, only to die of old age before his plan could even begin.

Left with no other choice, they had to cooperate with this old man's plan. They used plans and methods to deceive Obito Uchiha, a mere pawn, and then worked themselves to the bone to cooperate with Nagato.

This isn't how you film a Shinobi World undercover operation; it's all interconnected, and even Black Zetsu himself sometimes feels exhausted. This feeling is especially strong after he meets Naruto Uzumaki.

A thousand years of effort, all exposed in a single day—this feeling... my heart is numb.

"Nagato is dying, and the Akatsuki Organization has no reason to exist anymore," Obito said. "We must retrieve the Rinnegan today, lest things get complicated."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a cold voice came from the rain.

"You can't get it!"

In an instant, countless Paper Flower rained down from the sky, drifting in with the rain. Upon hearing Obito Uchiha silently activated Kamui, and his entire body vanished into the Uzumaki.

Black Zetsu vanished from the water's surface and headed towards the village.

The next second, the Paper Flower slowly gathered in the wind and rain, gradually forming the shape of a human figure. Konan's angry face appeared, and before she could speak, several paper kunai flew over.

The paper kunai passed right through Obito Uchiha's body without causing him any harm.

"Little girl, don't underestimate the power of the Uchiha Clan's eyes." He stared at Konan and said, "This little trick of paper effigies is not enough to hurt me."

"Go to hell!" Konan shouted sharply.

With a pair of enormous paper wings unfurling from his back, he gritted his teeth, spun around, and accelerated toward Obito Uchiha, who was wearing an orange vortex mask.

With a whoosh, countless pieces of paper flew out like a torrent.

Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha and his group sneaked into the village. Suigetsu jumped to the top of the High Tower. He shielded his eyes with his hand for a while, then jumped down and said...

"It doesn't seem like there's a fight over there. Why don't I sneak over and take a look?"

"Go over there?" Karin's lips suddenly curled into a gloating smile. "They didn't actually fight, so go take a look. Nothing bad will happen anyway."

"Hmm?" Suigetsu hesitated, seeing her like this, she knew it couldn't be anything good.

"It looks like a fight has already broken out. Getting too close might get you caught in the crossfire," Jugo said. "There are two people, no, three."

"If it's just a fight that's over, then I'm relieved." Suigetsu's confidence soared, and she excitedly ran forward. "I'll go take a look, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, Suigetsu disappeared without a trace.

"Suigetsu! Wait! Danger!" Jugo reached out to call out to Suigetsu, but found that she had already run away, and his brows furrowed.

"Jugo, what danger?" Sasuke turned to ask him seriously.

"I don't know. Natural Energy is far away from that place, and we don't know what will happen. But..." Jugo looked up with a worried expression and swallowed.

"It could be an explosion."

On the water's surface, countless sheets of paper spun rapidly, forming an Uzumaki in mid-air. And in the next instant, a violent explosion erupted, sending Kakkō shooting skyward.

Suigetsu had just quietly reached the edge of the water's surface and was about to look up when she suddenly saw the dazzling explosion of light, and was instantly stunned.

With a deafening roar, waves several meters high surged up. A thick wall of water crashed down on Suigetsu, who took a deep breath and sank instantly.

No matter how hard she swam, she couldn't stop the waves. The underwater currents were turbulent, making Suigetsu dizzy and disoriented.

After the violent explosion, half of Obito Uchiha's body was mangled, but he still managed to preserve his body using Kamui.

"Your methods have come to an end. It seems I'm not dead, just slightly injured," Obito Uchiha calmly. "So, it's time to speak, isn't it?"

"Where Nagato is, the one you're willing to protect at all costs, isn't he hiding in the village trembling with fear? I only Rinnegan; I have no interest in Nagato's life."

"Shut up!" Konan glared at Obito Uchiha. "You are the greatest darkness. If it weren't for you, Yahiko wouldn't have died, and Nagato wouldn't be like this now!"

"You are the one who broke the peace agreement; you extinguished our hope!"

"There is no peace in this world, let alone hope," Obito said dismissively. "Looks like you haven't come to terms with reality yet."

At this moment, Suigetsu, who was being tossed around by the current underwater, finally managed to steady herself and hesitated whether to take another look.

I'm really curious to know who caused the explosion. It's a huge loss if we leave without taking a look.
