"Konan, I'm leaving."
"Shisui Uchiha, even though Konan is staying in your Konoha, if she gets hurt, I'll make your Uchiha Clan pay, even if it costs me my life."
With that, Nagato turned and left with Deva Path Pain.
Just moments ago, Shisui had helped Nagato seal the Yang Nine-Tails inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Then one of the nine closed eyes on the statue's forehead slowly opened.
Seeing this meant that half of the Nine-Tails' chakra was enough to satisfy the statue's need for the Nine-Tails. At last, the weight on Nagato's heart lifted.
Unlike the Nine-Tails' intelligent gaze, the eye the statue had opened was filled with chaotic, deranged will. Its gaze conveyed nothing but greed and destruction, with no trace of intelligence.
Perhaps this was the true reason the Sage of Six Paths had split the Ten-Tails apart.
A creature powerful enough to be invincible, yet capable only of destruction, would bring endless calamity to the Shinobi World.
After the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path opened one eye, Nagato sensed that absorbing half of the Nine-Tails' chakra had allowed him to use some of the statue's abilities.
He could even control the statue to launch an attack resembling a Tailed Beast Bomb.
"Zzzzzzz..."
A black-purple sphere, similar to the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb, took shape in the statue's mouth. Then the half-formed Tailed Beast Bomb shot straight toward Shisui Uchiha.
"Are you trying to go back on your word?"
Under Shisui's control, the Fourth Form Susanoo stepped forward and raised the Bone Shield in its left hand to meet the half-formed Tailed Beast Bomb.
The moment the two collided, the Bone Shield stopped the Tailed Beast Bomb. Several twisted bone claws even sprouted from its surface and clamped tightly around the bomb.
