Reanimation Jutsu! Konan Revived

Amegakure, above the water.

Konan stared coldly at Obito before her, rain streaming down her face. Her mind was made up; she intended to use the countless Explosive Tag she had prepared to Obito Uchiha with her.

"You're the one who needs to face reality, you demon!" Konan said through gritted teeth.

Not far away, Obito stood on the water, his face clearly covered by a mask. Yet, when he was silent, one could almost see the cold indifference beneath the mask; he seemed unconcerned about Konan's words.

"Why did you have to betray me? You and Nagato both supported the Eye of the Moon Plan, but you broke the agreement and betrayed me."

"Betrayal?" Konan laughed self-deprecatingly, a mocking expression on her face. "Someone like you, born in darkness, will never understand the preciousness of the flower of hope, nor will you ever create a perfect new world."

"The darkness lies in this world, in the ninja system, and in those ninjas who constantly create wars for profit." Obito looked calmly at Konan, his arms outstretched.

"Such a world offers no hope and is utterly hopeless."

"It was you... it was you who dragged us into this mess! Yahiko wouldn't have died!" Konan's jaw trembled slightly, and rainwater seeped from her hair.

"This is Nagato's fate. He has something that doesn't belong to him, so he should just play out his destiny according to the script," Obito said.

"You call it fate? Just a trivial statement!" Konan's chest heaved as she stared at Obito Uchiha with eyes like knives, as if she wanted to vent all the anger in her heart.

"Have you ever considered that this brings us endless pain and torment? You don't care about any of that; our suffering is what you've brought upon us."

"I don't really care, but it's too late to say all this now," Obito said coldly. "Since you've betrayed me, you're worthless now."

"Tell me where Nagato is. I don't want to harm my former subordinates. If I can retrieve the Rinnegan, I can spare your life, and I can spare Nagato's life as well."

"I don't know. The Rinnegan belongs to Nagato. I won't let you take what belongs to Nagato." Konan gave him a cold glance.

"His eyes are the village's treasure, the very foundation upon which Amegakure is protected."

"Did Naruto Uzumaki tell you all of this? Or did you discover it yourself?" Obito his head. "Probably the former. It seems Naruto Uzumaki convinced you."

"He was just stating the truth; that's just how it is." Konan's face darkened. "Besides, I trust Naruto Uzumaki more than you."

"Since you're going to die soon anyway, why don't you tell me what kind of hallucinogenic drug Naruto Uzumaki gave you?"

Upon hearing this, Konan instantly recalled the scene of Naruto "Talk no Jutsu" to Nagato. Just a slight recollection brought back memories of not some noble and inspiring words, but rather trash talk.

"."

"What?" Obito frowned.

"It's nothing." Konan's aura hardened, and she threw a bunch of paper kunai at Obito. She had learned the secret of Obito's Kamui duration from Naruto.

In addition to the conclusions she had drawn from her investigation, she discovered the loopholes in Kamui and developed a corresponding countermeasure.

"I've been preparing for this day for a long time. Don't even think about messing with Nagato." Konan gritted her teeth and suddenly activated Ninjutsu. "Come to hell with me!"

[The Paper God]

In an instant, the once calm sea beneath Obito's feet transformed into a high wall made of white paper. The two walls then separated with a crash, revealing a bottomless abyss.

"What!!!" Suigetsu, who was watching the battle from the water in the distance, was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped, her mouth formed an "O" shape, and her eyes were about to burst at the sight.

Realizing something was wrong, he swam away like a madman. He used every ounce of strength he had to escape; he'd probably never been so serious in his life.

What a joke! The sea is cracked open! If we don't run now, we're doomed!

In the distance, Sasuke Uchiha were watching the battle.

"Why hasn't Suigetsu come back yet? Did he really die in the water?" Karin complained without any restraint. "Did he turn into a rotten fish or shrimp?"

"I can sense Suigetsu's Chakra; he seems to be watching the show," Jugo added.

"Watching the show? With all this commotion, he's got some nerve." Karin clicked her tongue. "I originally thought he was a coward, but I never imagined he had such a fierce side."

Sasuke Uchiha Sharingan rotated, and in a hazy red vision, he could clearly see a figure resembling the Suigetsu's reflection in water frantically swimming.

He was probably running for his life, but Sasuke was too lazy to make a sound.

What truly captivated him was the battle. He couldn't believe such terrifying Ninjutsu existed in the world. Could it really be achieved by those flashy but impractical Paper Ninjutsu?

The paper wall, seemingly an insurmountable barrier, was something no human could have accomplished. Sasuke gazed at the sky-like expanse of paper and couldn't help but feel that he had made the right choice.

Perhaps this time we really can snag a bargain. That man who claims to be Uchiha Madara is just too suspicious; who knows?

He himself bore so many undeserved calamities, and they were related to him. Otherwise, far too many things would be inexplicable, and the appearance of Uchiha Madara was just too coincidental.

Why should he suddenly have a string of bad luck after Madara appeared? That doesn't make sense. Besides, Madara can't possibly think he's stupid; Uchiha Madara wouldn't be alive now.

Humans cannot defy time and will eventually turn into dust.

The wind and rain intensified at that moment, and the sea surged violently, creating walls of water tens of meters high. Countless pieces of white paper instantly transformed into Explosive Tag, which flew towards Obito as if they possessed sentience, just as he fell into the Obito.

An apocalyptic scene unfolded on the sea, with Explosive Tag flashing like a tsunami. Blazing flames shot skyward, and thick white smoke billowed from the water.

Obito dodged the explosion, but the Kamui Space still inevitably absorbed some Explosive Tag. The blood mist exploded and then instantly disappeared into the rolling water wall.

The enormous Chakra expenditure nearly drained all of Konan's reserves. She collapsed weakly onto the water's surface, completely utterly powerless.

Only a trace of Chakra remained in his body, maintaining his vital signs.

Just as she was catching her breath, Obito, missing an arm and a leg, quietly appeared behind her. Taking advantage of her weakness, he plunged an iron rod into her heart.

Konan felt a sharp pain in her chest, her pupils dilated suddenly, and a mouthful of blood welled up in her throat.

"Impossible, you can't possibly dodge my Ninjutsu."

"You underestimate the Uchiha Clan's Dōjutsu. This is said to be a power close to that of a Sage." Obito used his remaining hand to push the black iron rod forward a little.

With a loud "whoosh, "Konan coughed up a mouthful of blood, fell forward, and took a few steps by inertia.

"That's enough," Obito said, saying something rather unoriginal. "You're going to die soon anyway, so there's no need for me to explain anything more to you."

He reached out, grabbed Konan by the neck, lifted her up, and crushed her throat. Konan's consciousness instantly blurred, and her life force almost completely drained away.

"Go like this."

Bang!!

A missile was launched, followed by a violent explosion that created a massive curtain of water on the surface. Obito was forced to relocate, and a burst of light erupted in an instant.

"Release her." The Asura Path Pain descended from the water.

"The Six Paths of Pain? Heh heh heh." Obito casually tossed Konan over as if she were trash, his gaze fixed instead on Nagato.

"You used that power again. Even if I do nothing, you won't live much longer."

"I know, but before that, I will kill you!" The brand-new Deva Path Pain flashed from afar and landed not far from Nagato's side in an instant.

[Banshō Ten'in]

At this moment, Suigetsu, disheveled and exhausted, climbed ashore, having narrowly escaped death. Just as she was about to look back, a chill ran down her spine.

Thinking back, I was just too stupid. I could have just walked away, but I was swayed by curiosity. I almost got killed twice, and even if I didn't die, I almost lost an arm or a leg.

He knew he shouldn't go too far, so he shook his head and abruptly stopped himself. "I'm not watching anymore, not again. Curiosity killed the cat. I need to hurry and meet up with them."

Deva Path Pain reached out to Obito and instantly pulled the crippled Obito towards him. Obito's Kamui was still cooling down; he had just used Izanagi.

Boom!

Obito was slammed heavily onto the water's surface, his face contorted in pain. The intense agony caused Obito to wince, but he knew Nagato wouldn't last much longer.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, half of his mask shattering. Obito raised his head, revealing a bloody smile to Deva Path Pain, and said sinisterly.

"Nagato, you've become weaker. Look around you! You didn't even notice someone infiltrated your hiding place. It seems you're truly at your last gasp."

"How does it feel to be holding on by a thread? You could die at any moment, right? Did you see that?"

High above the High Tower, Black Zetsu revealed half of his body on the roof tiles, a kunai in his hand. In the blink of an eye, he teleported to Nagato's side and shouted.

"Hello!~"

The Nagato, sharp as a blade, was raised high and pierced down with a swift, powerful thrust. Nagato, already weakened by forcibly activating three of Six Paths of Pain's puppets, was now even more frail.

Seeing Konan die, Nagato was filled with even greater rage. Even as the kunai was about to pierce his body, he made no attempt to dodge.

He didn't want to be distracted; he was determined to kill this bastard, even if it meant death! At the critical moment, to avoid damaging Konan's body, Nagato did not choose to use Shinra Tensei.

Deva Path used Banshō Ten'in grab Obito, Asura Path flew over and pierced Obito's throat with a single slap, unleashing all the firearms on his body.

Boom!!!

The Deva Path used its own body to firmly lock Obito, leaving him no way to escape. All the ammunition poured out, engulfing the Asura Path in the explosion.

This was practically a self-destructive tactic; Nagato had no scruples left. Obito Uchiha vanished instantly, leaving only severed limbs on the water's surface.

On the other side, with a soft "plop," the kunai that was originally aimed at Nagato's neck pierced into his shoulder.

Black Zetsu looked at Nagato with some surprise, not expecting him to dodge his attack under such extreme circumstances. The next second, before he could make a move...

Nagato used up all his Chakra to do one last thing: he activated the Rinnegan and, while he was still conscious, forcibly activated the Rinne Rebirth!

This is a Forbidden Jutsu that forcibly resurrects the dead. The more dead people are resurrected and the longer they have been dead, the more Chakra is consumed.

In his current state, Nagato has practically squeezed out the last bit of Chakra from his body, risking his life. Fortunately, Konan died not long ago, so she doesn't need to consume too much Chakra.

This is all he can do now. Nagato doesn't know if the person from earlier is dead or not, but even if not, he's seriously injured. His only hope now rests on Konan; he must revive Konan.

Konan must stop Black Zetsu; the Rinnegan must not fall into Black Zetsu's hands, absolutely not!

A gigantic King of Hell rose from the ravaged sea, its blood-red maw gaping open. A blue soul leaped from its mouth and landed among Konan's remains.

Almost instantly, Konan opened her eyes wide, instinctively opening her mouth to gasp for breath. Her eyes bulged as if about to burst; the lack of oxygen left her mind blank.

She sat up abruptly, gasping for breath as if she hadn't been breathing at all. In a flash, thoughts ignited deep within her mind, and a powerful idea flashed through her mind.

Where?

I'm not dead, I was clearly dead? I've been resurrected, it must have been Nagato! Where's Uchiha Madara? Is he nearby? A jumble of thoughts instantly intertwined and formed a single idea.

"Oh no! Something's happened to Nagato!"

Konan glanced across the sea but found no trace of Uchiha Madara; several Pain Puppet lay dead to the side. She quickly regained her composure, and a pair of enormous paper wings appeared behind her as she swiftly flew towards the High Tower.

At the top of the High Tower, Nagato slumped limply to one side, completely lifeless. Black Zetsu smiled, grabbing a kunai to gouge out the Rinnegan.

Suddenly, three rustling sounds of paper being torn in the wind came from behind.

Black Zetsu sensed danger in the dark passage and immediately jumped back as if electrocuted. Immediately afterward, even more pieces of paper rained down like Hayate, completely engulfing the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's chair.

The Nagato was instantly enveloped, protected by layers of shields, and Konan revealed her true form. Her toes touched the floor tiles, her eyes cold.

Seeing the situation was dire, Black Zetsu realized that Obito Uchiha might have failed. Without lingering, he merged into the floor tiles and left.

"Nagato." Konan could no longer hide her breakdown. She staggered a few steps, squatted down, and began to cry.

She originally wanted to risk her life to kill Obito Uchiha. She couldn't persuade Nagato, but she knew that Nagato's eyes were very important to the village.

But who could have predicted that in the end, Nagato would exchange his own life for his own. Perhaps he had foreseen this outcome and was prepared for it.

Now is not the time to grieve; Nagato's last wish has not yet been fulfilled. Konan raised her head, her gaze complex. Right now, she must find Nagato's body and bring Naruto Uzumaki.
