Hold Uchiha Mirai for one minute? You want to kill me!!!

"Aaaaaaah!!!!"

Hidan's agonizing howls echoed across the entire battlefield like the tolling of a death knell.

Kakuzu and Obito, who were nearby, felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this wail.

This is the first time I've ever seen Hidan, who's known as immortal, in such a miserable state!

Looking at Uchiha Mirai's youthful face, both of them were deeply horrified.

"Stop him, no matter what he's going to do!"

Kakuzu roared, black threads surging in his palm as he unleashed a Fire Release.

Obito also threw out several Kunai.

Uchiha Mirai didn't move. The crimson skeleton of Susanoo that had been surrounding her twisted, and its huge bone hand swept out, knocking away all of their attacks.

Kakuzu had no time to dodge and was swept away by the bone hand.

Despite having Hollowfication as a defense, Obito was equally grave, and he was breathing heavily.

Behind him, the pitcher plant swayed and emerged.

"Damn it! Why did it take you so long to get here!"

Obito angrily, his eyes filled with displeasure.

White Zetsu stammered, "Madara, you know, my abilities are completely ineffective against him; in fact, he can counter them..."

"Shut up!"

Obito took a breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"The operation failed! Hidan's abilities are completely ineffective against him!"

"It failed???"

White Zetsu was stunned.

"Isn't Hidan's curse supposed to be a sure-kill technique? Did the three of you working together fail to obtain his blood?"

"We got it, but we didn't expect him to poison the blood."

Obito gritted his teeth in resentment.

At first, he thought Hidan's ability was very powerful and might become a powerful weapon if used properly, but he didn't expect it to be so useless in practice.

The main reason was that he encountered a ruthless person Uchiha Mirai!

No normal person would poison their own blood!

Obito felt increasingly frustrated and burrowed into the ground, disappearing from sight.

"Madara! Madara!"

White Zetsu's heart tightened, and he quickly called out.

But there has been no response.

"This is troublesome. The operation has failed. How are we going to explain this to the leader?"

The pitcher White Zetsu at the Susanoo that was berserking not far away, and a chill ran down its spine.

Before the operation began, they had solemnly sworn an oath and guaranteed it to their leader!

It's gotten so bad, how are we going to clean this up?

Never mind! Let's report it first!

In the dark and damp cave, Deva Path Pain sat cross-legged atop the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path his eyes closed. Suddenly, a White Zetsu emerged from beside him.

"Leader..."

White Zetsu spoke weakly.

"How did it go? Did you take care of Uchiha Mirai?"

Deva Path Pain didn't open his eyes, and even his tone was quite flat, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

In his view, this operation involved four Akatsuki members and also included Hidan's unscientific ability to use curses.

A mere Uchiha Mirai? Wouldn't that be a piece of cake?

"It failed."

"It failed!?"

Deva Path Pain suddenly opened his eyes, his Rinnegan radiating a terrifying aura.

White Zetsu felt a chill run down his spine and said tremblingly, "We underestimated him. He poisoned himself with his own blood, Hidan off guard and fell victim to it."

Poisoning one's own blood???

Deva Path Pain was taken aback.

What a ruthless person!

They actually came up with a way to poison Hidan's abilities by putting poison in his blood!

"It seems I underestimated Uchiha Mirai."

Deva Path Pain's eyes gleamed with keen interest.

"Chief... should we call it a halt?"

White Zetsu asked weakly.

The operation has failed, and it won't be long before Konoha ninjas arrive to provide support.

If we don't retreat now, it will be troublesome to retreat later.

"Terminate the operation? Why terminate the operation?"

Deva Path Pain stared at him coldly.

White Zetsu instantly felt as if the air around him had solidified; the immense pressure made it impossible for him to breathe.

"I said that we would use the Uchiha Mirai Akatsuki's reputation. Now that the operation has failed, are we just going to slink away like this? Wouldn't that make Akatsuki a complete laughingstock!"

"So, what does the leader mean?"

"I will personally take action! I will end him completely!"

Deva Path Pain's eyes narrowed slightly, and an immense pressure emanated from him, slamming into the cave walls.

White Zetsu swallowed hard.

Is the leader about to make a move?

The leader, who possesses the Sage's Eyes, is about to face off against the Calamity Uchiha.

What an exciting battle!

"However, leader, it's at least a hundred kilometers from here to Konoha."

Even if you rush there now, the battle will probably already be over.

"It's alright. I will gather all my Chakra into this body and use the repulsive force to accelerate continuously, so I can reach the battlefield in a very short time."

Deva Path Pain remained indifferent.

"Three minutes, no! One minute!"

"Tell Kakuzu to hold off the Uchiha Mirai one minute. After that, hand them over to me!"

"Yes!"

The White Zetsu burrowed back into the ground.

A few breaths later, accompanied by several whooshing sounds, five bodies possessing the Rinnegan appeared simultaneously Deva Path Pain.

A terrifying amount of Chakra was poured into Deva Path Pain's body like a whale swallowing its prey.

Until a certain moment!

Boom!

A deafening explosion suddenly rang out!

A blur burst forth from the cave, hurtling off in one direction at an astonishing speed, the air in front of it being compressed into an arc and torn apart!

Wherever it went, everything was reduced to dust by this terrifying sound barrier.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Kakuzu struggles to withstand the attacks from the Uchiha Mirai.

The enormous, scarlet skeleton swatted him away as easily as swatting a fly.

Kakuzu felt extremely aggrieved.

They were supposed to be acting together, but after Hidan's curse failed, he just collapsed and is now dead or alive.

That guy who called himself Uchiha Madara, who possesses space-time abilities, ran away as soon as he saw things were going wrong!

This has resulted in him being the only one left to fight against Uchiha Mirai!

"Those bastards! They all ran away! When we get back to the organization, we're going to report them to the leader!"

Kakuzu was furious, his eyes bulging with bloodshot veins.

Just then, a White Zetsu suddenly emerged from behind him.

"Kakuzu! The leader ordered you to hold off Uchiha Mirai one minute."

Kakuzu suddenly froze!

???

What the heck?

"Are you kidding me! That's the Calamity Uchiha!"

Kakuzu's eyes turned bloodshot, and he began to curse loudly!

"Let me hold him off for just one minute! Is the leader trying to kill me?!"
