"What? Madara Uchiha was killed by him?" The voice of Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly rang out in the air, filled with shock and disbelief.

He widened his eyes, as if trying to see this incredible news more clearly.

Beside him, Pain and Konan also wore expressions of astonishment.

Pain frowned; as the leader of the Akatsuki, he naturally understood the strength of Madara Uchiha.

That was an enemy who was almost impossible to defeat, a man whose power was unfathomable and seemingly endless.

Yet now, someone was telling them that Madara had been killed. How could this be possible?

Konan, meanwhile, looked bewildered. Although she knew of Madara's power, she was more confused about Liuli.

She looked at Liuli, wanting to find some clues in his expression. However, there was only deep confusion on Liuli's face.

"Obito was killed by me." Liuli whispered again, his voice sounding so ethereal in the wind that it seemed it could be blown away at any moment.

He lowered his eyes, looking at Obito, who had lost all signs of life at his feet. Those eyes, once full of vitality and ambition, now stared hollowly at the sky, as if recounting endless regret and unwillingness.

It seemed that Obito's heart was filled with complex emotions. Sorrow, anger, unwillingness... these feelings intertwined, making his heart feel as if it were being torn apart.

Obito could not believe that the Six Paths-level strength was actually real and not just empty boasting; even Kamui had been conquered by the pupil power of the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan, leaving him unable to fight back.

Just then, Liuli suddenly realized a problem: "Where did Zetsu go? Usually, those two are together. Obito is dead, so where is that old geezer?"

He looked around, trying to find traces of Zetsu. However, no matter how he sensed, he could not detect Zetsu's presence.

Liuli stood in place, carefully sensing the surrounding scenery with his Six-Tomoe Rinnegan. He specifically focused his attention on the ground nearby, wanting to find where Zetsu might be hiding.

However, his perception yielded no results. Zetsu seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trail to follow.

A sense of foreboding welled up in Liuli's heart. He knew that Zetsu would definitely not just leave like this. Liuli guessed that he must be watching him from the shadows.

"The hand seals Obito just performed must have been the Izanagi jutsu, right?" Liuli muttered to himself.

Recalling the clash with Obito, he had performed hand seals at high speed—Hare, Boar, Ram—all in one go; that was the jutsu for activating Izanagi. Liuli had seen this scene in Sasuke's memories, a specific recollection from the original story when Sasuke killed Danzo.

Now, this scene was actually replaying in reality, and the caster was Obito, who was now lying on the ground as if asleep.

Liuli felt a slight sense of doubt. He knew that Izanagi was a forbidden jutsu of the Uchiha Clan, possessing the power to turn the tide of battle and change life and death.

The reason this jutsu was called forbidden was that it required a massive price to use.

The caster must sacrifice a Sharingan to gain a single chance to change their fate.

Obito's speed was truly too fast; his hand-sealing technique was so proficient it was staggering, as if he had secretly practiced it thousands of times, like a ninja version of a typist with lightning-fast hands!

Liuli couldn't help but sigh, wondering if this guy didn't sleep at night and just hid under his covers all day secretly practicing hand seals.

At this moment, Konan and the other two were nearby.

"Pain, what should we do now?" Konan's voice broke the silence of the air, her face filled with anxiety and doubt. "Madara Uchiha... he... is he really...?"

Pain did not answer immediately; his gaze was deep, as if he were contemplating an extremely complex problem.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "It is impossible to determine the situation with Madara Uchiha for now. But regardless, we cannot just sit here and wait for death."

He turned his head to look at Kisame Hoshigaki beside him, a glimmer of expectation flashing in his eyes: "Kisame, what do you think?"

Kisame Hoshigaki had remained silent, and he did not answer immediately either.

His eyes were as deep as the abyss of the sea, as if they could swallow all light. After a moment, he said in a low voice: "This enemy's strength is extremely powerful, and his jutsu is incredibly bizarre. If we take action, the result will be the same as Madara Uchiha's."

Konan couldn't help but feel a chill run through her. She knew that Kisame's words were not alarmist, but based on the reality before their eyes.

But even so, she could not accept just waiting helplessly.

"Then we can't just squat here forever!" Konan's voice trembled slightly. "We must find a way to figure out this person's identity and purpose."

Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly interjected, breaking the heavy atmosphere, and said half-jokingly: "Konan, are you sure we can win? Look at Madara on the ground; his corpse is probably still warm."

Obito Uchiha: "..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Konan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but let out a "pfft" of laughter. She glared at Kisame and said irritably: "You guy, you never forget to joke, no matter the time. In this situation, do you still have the mood to laugh?"

Kisame spread his hands, looking innocent as he said: "I'm just telling the truth. Look, Lord Madara was beaten like that; wouldn't we just be serving ourselves up on a platter if we went up there? I think we should follow the thirty-six stratagems and run away while we can."

"Run away?" Pain's brow furrowed. "Kisame, what kind of talk is that? As members of the Akatsuki, how can we retreat when encountering a strong enemy? If that were the case, what qualifications would we have to talk about changing the world?"

Kisame scratched his head and chuckled: "Leader, I was just joking to lighten the mood. Actually, I know very well that we are in a bind and have no choice but to fight to the death."

"It seems there really is no other way..." Konan said in despair, her voice revealing a sense of powerlessness she had never felt before. In the Akatsuki, she had always been the calm and resilient one, but at this moment, facing a powerful enemy like Liuli, she felt unprecedented frustration.

Pain was silent, his face devoid of expression, but complex emotions were surging in his heart.

As the leader of the Akatsuki, he carried the mission of the organization and the expectations of his companions; he could not just give up.

However, he also knew that Liuli's strength exceeded their imagination, and if they acted rashly, they would likely pay a heavy price.

Kisame Hoshigaki frowned tightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He was a ninja who had experienced countless battles; he knew that the current predicament was only temporary, and as long as they persisted, they would eventually find a chance for a breakthrough.

But he also understood that Konan's despair was not without reason; they were indeed facing a massive challenge.

To flee—that word hardly existed in their dictionary. They were members of the Akatsuki, the top experts of the ninja world. They had faced countless strong enemies and challenges, but every time, they had chosen to fight to the end, never retreating. Yet this time, facing an unknown enemy like Liuli, they felt unprecedented pressure and powerlessness.

Liuli's strength was unfathomable, and his jutsu were bizarre and unpredictable, as if everything were under his control. And they were like people trapped in an inescapable cage, unable to break free no matter how they struggled.

"Konan is right, we must leave now. That guy has Six-Tomoe Rinnegan level strength; we are no match for him!" Obito suddenly appeared before them, his expression grave. Having used Izanagi, he had no more trump cards left to save his life.

Pain and Kisame Hoshigaki exchanged glances. They knew Madara Uchiha was powerful, but seeing him resurrected before their eyes left them utterly shocked.

Pain frowned. The enemy before them was truly at the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan level—a term in their world that signified peerless strength and a presence that inspired nothing but dread.

"I am certain and positive!" Obito said with a serious face. "I just saw with my own eyes how that guy easily defeated me without even blinking. That kind of power is simply not something we can contend with."

Kisame Hoshigaki frowned. He knew that, at this moment, Obito would not joke about such things. If Liuli truly possessed Six-Tomoe Rinnegan level strength, their current situation had become even more perilous.

"Then what should we do now?" Konan asked, her voice trembling slightly. Although she was an elite ninja, she still felt a sliver of fear when facing an enemy of that caliber.

"What else can we do? Run, of course!" Obito said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "We aren't the type of idiots who enjoy throwing our lives away. As long as the green hills remain, there will be firewood to burn!"

Pain took a deep breath. He knew that while Obito made it sound easy, the reality was far from simple. The four of them were currently surrounded on all sides, and Liuli's strength was unfathomable; they couldn't predict what would happen next. If they chose to flee, would Liuli let them go? That was a massive unknown.

In this critical moment, Obito appeared unusually calm. He knew that hesitation and delay would only lead them into greater danger. Thus, he made his decision without hesitation—use Kamui to take them away.

"Are you all ready?" Obito's voice carried a hint of resolve. "I'm taking you out of here now."

Pain, Konan, and Kisame Hoshigaki looked at one another, seeing the determination and trust in each other's eyes.

"We are ready," Pain said firmly. "Madara, take us away."

Obito nodded and began to channel his chakra, preparing to activate Kamui. A resolute light flickered in his right eye, as if to say: Can't beat him! Get out of here!

As Obito finished his hand seals, a powerful spatial force began to gather around them. Their figures gradually blurred, as if they were about to be pulled into another dimension by this power.

Just then, Liuli suddenly appeared before them, shattering the heavy atmosphere.

A playful smile graced her face, and her eyes held a hint of mockery. She seemed to have known about Obito's resurrection all along, yet she had no intention of attacking immediately.

"It seems you still have some combat power left. You should get some rest when you get back; don't go hungry." Liuli's voice was laced with teasing. Her gaze swept over the four of them before resting on Obito. "How is Madara's plan coming along? The sensation of this pain must be quite profound, right?"

Obito's expression shifted slightly; he hadn't expected Liuli to mention the Eye of the Moon at a time like this.

However, he quickly regained his composure and said coldly, "To have a master of your level, comparable to the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan, in the ninja world—you are the variable among variables."

"Oh my, is Madara angry?" Liuli said with feigned surprise. "I'm just showing concern for your progress. After all, we are all striving for our own goals, aren't we?"

Obito took a deep breath, knowing the situation was extremely unfavorable for them.

For some reason, the speed of Kamui was slowing down, and their figures were only shrinking at a snail's pace.

Furthermore, Liuli's strength was unfathomable, and they had no idea how much she knew about their secrets.

"I don't know who you really are," Obito said. "But we have our own missions and responsibilities. If you truly wanted to stop us, the five of us would have been finished off by you long ago."

Liuli gave a humorous smile, making the already tense atmosphere even tighter, as if she were afraid of killing them.

She suddenly reached out, grabbed a heavy bag of rice from the void, and tossed it gently toward Konan.

The bag of rice traced an elegant arc through the air and landed accurately in Konan's hands.

Konan was stunned. She stared at the rice bag in her hands, unable to react for a moment.

The bag felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, making her hands go numb. But what surprised her even more was that Liuli was in the mood to joke at a time like this.

"Madara's strength is high; that is beyond doubt. He is as towering as a mountain, and every gesture he makes reveals a majesty that inspires awe. When he fought me just now, he was clearly going easy on me; otherwise, with his god-like power, I would have been defeated long ago. By comparison, I am like a little chick, my strength insignificant, barely able to survive under his protection."

"This bag of rice, though trivial, is a token of my sincerity toward you all," Liuli said with a smile, gesturing toward the rice bag. "You can cook a good meal when you get back; don't go hungry. After all, fighting requires energy, and I'll come by to check on you again later."

Liuli's words carried a sense of warmth and care, like a ray of sunlight piercing through this dark world.

Obito: "..."

Pain, Konan, Kisame: "..."

"Thank you for the gift; I will be sure to cook it well." Obito forced the bag of rice into the Kamui dimension, the corner of his mouth twitching as he struggled to suppress his laughter.

Their figures had only shrunk by half. He knew he had to escape quickly, or it would be too late. Yet, he couldn't let Liuli see his true state, so he had to feign composure.

"Ahem." Obito coughed, trying to break the awkward silence. He signaled the three beside him to say something; they just needed to play along with Liuli's scene. He turned to look at Pain and squeezed out a smile. "Right, Pain? The price of a bag of rice is quite good, especially since this Six-Tomoe Rinnegan level powerhouse is concerned for us."

Pain nodded expressionlessly, though he couldn't help but think: The price of a bag of rice is good, my foot! Hurry up and leave, will you? Don't embarrass us here!

However, he said aloud, "Yes, indeed. We accept the kindness of a Six-Tomoe Rinnegan level powerhouse and will certainly enjoy this meal."

Konan chimed in, "That's right. The Six-Tomoe expert is truly too kind. We will definitely remember your good intentions."

She was also laughing inwardly: As expected of Madara Uchiha, cunning as a fox. Finally, we can leave.

Kisame went even further, saying, "Oh, absolutely! The Six-Tomoe expert is so generous! We will definitely savor this bag of rice!"

As he spoke, he glanced secretly at Obito, a compliant smile on his face.

Mental note: As expected of Madara, witty as he is, I understood immediately!

Hearing the three responses, Obito felt a slight sense of relief. He knew he had successfully diverted Liuli's attention and just needed to slip away now.

Thus, he feigned composure and said, "Then we shall take our leave. Thank you for your hospitality!"

With that, Obito hurriedly channeled all his chakra to accelerate the speed of Kamui, desperate to escape this awkward scene.

However, he hadn't expected that Liuli's Six-Tomoe Rinnegan would be able to restrict the speed of Kamui. This left him feeling helpless and frustrated, and he couldn't help but start to panic.

Just then, Liuli suddenly spoke: "Wait, Madara, you seem to have forgotten one thing."

A sly smile appeared on her face, as if she had seen through Obito's little trick all along.

Obito felt his heart tighten, silently cursing his luck. He gave an awkward laugh and asked, "Uh... Great Six Paths, what exactly did I forget?"

He had already braced himself to be exposed, yet he maintained an innocent facade on the surface, attempting to muddle through.

However, Liuli had no intention of letting him off the hook so easily. She offered a faint smile and said, "Tell me, what are the reasons you and Hashirama Senju fell in love?"

Her tone was filled with teasing and mockery; she was clearly amusing herself at Obito's expense.

Obito was left speechless, choked by Liuli's words. Reasons for falling in love? Was this person really that bored? How come I, Obito, don't know about this?

"Hashirama is very strong and a qualified Naruto. As for us being in love, that's just a rumor," Obito said, his face darkening. He was truly speechless. It was one thing not being able to escape, but to be asked such a thing—was this even something a person would do? He couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

Hearing this, a playful smile appeared on Liuli's face. She didn't seem ready to let Obito go just yet, so she continued, "Oh? Is that so? But how is it that I heard there are unknown secrets between you and Lord Hashirama?"

Liuli's tone was filled with teasing and mockery; she was clearly amusing herself at Obito's expense.

Obito was left speechless, choked by Liuli's words. He hadn't expected her to keep pestering him about this topic.

He shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed inwardly. He knew there was no escaping Liuli's clutches today.

Just then, Liuli suddenly lifted the restriction on Kamui, giving Obito a chance to flee. She smiled and said, "Alright, take care, Lord Madara. Next time we meet, you won't have two lives to spare."

Her tone carried a hint of a threat, but it was mostly playful banter.

Feeling the release of Kamui, Obito let out a sigh of relief. He knew he finally had a chance to escape this awkward situation. He immediately channeled all his chakra to accelerate Kamui, whisking the other three away from the scene.

During their escape, Liuli activated the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan illusion, scaring Obito so badly that his figure shrank several times over; he was clearly shaken to his core.

With lingering fear, he glanced back in the direction of Liuli and, seeing that she had no intention of pursuing them, finally set his heart at ease.

"Alright, time to head to the Akatsuki organization for some daily business." Liuli looked at the mission that had suddenly popped up on her system and let out a soft breath. She had just let Obito Uchiha and his group go, and as a result, she had gained 4,000 points.

After all, these points were vital resources she used to increase her strength and exchange for various rare items.

"Although Six Paths Sasuke is powerful, my original body's strength is still too weak. These four thousand points will allow me to obtain more things to improve myself and play a better role in Konoha."

"I also don't have unlimited use of Six Paths Sasuke, but I'm basically not afraid of any enemies in the current ninja world."

"Shadow Clone Technique." Liuli channeled a large portion of her Six Paths energy into two clones, intending to stir up some trouble.
