[Congratulations, by defeating the "Pain—Five Paths" other than the Deva Path, you have achieved an Intermediate Achievement. Congratulations, you have obtained: 10 Intermediate Achievement Draws!]
[Congratulations, by defeating "Akatsuki Organization—Konan," you have achieved an Intermediate Achievement. Congratulations, you have obtained: 2 Intermediate Achievement Draws!]
[Your current number of various draws:
Beginner Achievement Draws: 3!
Intermediate Achievement Draws: 12!
Advanced Achievement Draws: 1!]
At that moment,
the instant the battle ended, the system notification immediately appeared in the void.
Chen Yiban merely glanced at it.
"Oh?"
"Everyone gets two Intermediate Achievement Draws?!"
"I really didn't expect that."
Chen Yiban couldn't help muttering to himself.
Meanwhile,
his pair of pale-purple Rinnegan stared straight at the [Deva Path Pain] who had fallen before him.
"Why... do you possess the Rinnegan?"
This was the question that had shocked both Konan just now and Nagato at this moment.
Thus, through the Deva Path Pain, Nagato couldn't help asking Chen Yiban about it.
Other than Nagato himself,
how could anyone else possess the eyes of a god?
At this, Chen Yiban suddenly revealed a hint of disdain.
"Nagato, is it?"
"You really think... your Rinnegan was something you were born with?"
In the end, Chen Yiban did not answer. Instead, he asked a question in return.
"...What do you mean?" Nagato, behind the scenes, froze.
And Chen Yiban said:
"I can't be bothered to tell you too much. I'll give you two choices:
Watch her die!
Or... hand over your Rinnegan!"
Chen Yiban continued pointing the [Black Rod] in his hand at Konan beneath his feet, pressing her relentlessly.
"No! Nagato, don't worry about me. You can't give the eyes of a god to someone like him!" Konan cried out urgently.
The next second:
"Did I say you could speak?"
Chen Yiban directly planted one foot on Konan's face.
All he received was a look from Konan that wished she could hack him into a thousand pieces!
At this moment:
"Konan..."
The Deva Path Pain looked at Konan beneath Chen Yiban's foot.
In the end, he still said:
"Let her go!"
"I... agree..."
"Gah...!!!"
The Deva Path Pain had only just nodded in agreement.
The next second, however, he suddenly threw back his head and let out a cry of agony, as though he were in extreme pain.
What had happened?
"Pain... Nagato, what's wrong?" Konan, pinned beneath Chen Yiban's foot, looked worriedly at the Deva Path Pain before her.
"Hm?" Chen Yiban was puzzled as well.
What was going on?
Boom---
The next second, the Deva Path Pain collapsed to the ground.
"Oh. Konan, do you know what's going on?"
Chen Yiban looked at the Deva Path Pain, who had suddenly fallen and stopped moving, and couldn't help frowning slightly before glancing at Konan beneath his foot.
"Nagato..." Konan had no intention of paying attention to Yiban.
If her limbs had not been nailed down by the [Black Rods], she would have flown straight back to check what had happened to Nagato.
"Tell me. Where is that man called Nagato now?"
Moving his foot away, Chen Yiban continued questioning her, his pale-purple Rinnegan open wide.
Konan merely glared fiercely at him, then remained silent.
"Woman, you're wearing down my patience."
Chen Yiban began slowly lengthening the Black Rod in his hand, preparing to threaten Konan with death.
Yet even with the Black Rod about to pierce the back of her head, Konan still looked utterly fearless of death!
"You woman..." Chen Yiban was starting to admire her a little.
If he weren't using the [Rinnegan] right now and too lazy to switch to the [Sharingan], he would have controlled her with Genjutsu.
"Rinnegan · Rinne Rebirth Technique!!"
Suddenly, a tragic roar erupted in the distance, from atop the tallest steel building in all of Amegakure.
Upon hearing it...
Chen Yiban and Konan both turned toward that direction in astonishment.
"Rinne Rebirth... Nagato, what have you done?" Konan's face was filled with shock and uncertainty.
"Rinne Rebirth... Who is that guy reviving?" Chen Yiban looked equally astonished.
The situation on the battlefield suddenly slipped out of control!
It was somewhat beyond Chen Yiban's expectations!
Why had Uzumaki Nagato activated [Rinne Rebirth]?
And at that moment, inside the tallest steel building:
Uzumaki Nagato, who had already been as skinny as a skeleton, seemed to have lost most of his life force.
His hair had turned completely gray!
His face was ashen!
He slowly lowered the hands with which he had just formed the Hand Seals and performed the technique.
"Heh heh, Nagato... this is your final value!"
A pitch-black figure stood beside him, controlling Uzumaki Nagato.
And then:
Crack---!
Boom---!!
In the very center of the room stood an upright coffin. At that moment, its lid seemed to have been kicked open from within by some entity.
Tap---step---
A powerful figure slowly stepped out of the coffin.
"Nagato, it seems you've grown quite a bit."
A pair of Sharingan seemed to reflect an infinite, chilling power.
"Lord Madara!" Black Zetsu no longer cared about Nagato's life or death. He happily stepped forward and bowed before the true [Uchiha Madara].
"Black Zetsu!"
"How far has the plan progressed?"
Uchiha Madara looked at Black Zetsu with a pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan transplanted from someone else.
"Lord Madara, during the progress of the plan... a special obstacle appeared, something completely beyond anyone's expectations." Black Zetsu's expression was solemn and troubled.
"Hm?" Uchiha Madara's expression instantly turned cold.
"A special obstacle? How special?" Uchiha Madara stared coldly at Black Zetsu.
"And where is that brat Obito?"
At this:
"Lord Madara, this is what happened..."
Elsewhere!
Chen Yiban sensed something.
"Ha, I never expected the situation to suddenly become like this."
"Black Zetsu, if I'm not mistaken, you're the bastard behind this, aren't you?"
Chen Yiban wore a bitter smile.
Immediately afterward:
Swish, swish, swish, swish----!
The four Black Rods pinning Konan to the ground all flew back at Chen Yiban's command.
"You..." Konan did not understand what he meant.
However, what concerned her more at that moment was Nagato!
Thus, forcing herself to endure her severely injured body, Konan struggled to spread her paper wings.
She was clearly preparing to fly to the tallest steel building and check what had happened to Nagato.
"I advise you... not to go there right now!"
Chen Yiban suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Konan did not even look at him. She slowly flapped her paper wings and prepared to leave!
However:
Tap---step---
At that moment, atop the tallest steel building, a figure wearing red armor and a pair of scarlet eyes slowly walked to the railing at the edge of the building.
Konan had just taken flight when she saw this scene from afar!
"Madara...!!"
Konan was shocked out of her wits.
Then:
"You bastard, what did you do to Nagato?"
Konan turned around and glared furiously at Chen Yiban below.
Chen Yiban: "..."
