Why Does the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path Look a Little Strange?

The Uchiha Clan Compound, an underground prison.

"Aaaaaah!!! No!!!"

Painful, agonizing screams echoed throughout the prison, the agonizing sounds penetrating the thick walls and carrying intermittently to the outside world.

The Uchiha Clan members passed by as usual, seemingly accustomed to the sounds emanating from this place.

No one paid any attention to the wailing here.

In the prison, Uchiha Mirai released her hand from Killer B's stomach, and the latter let out a sigh of relief, panting heavily.

"Uchiha Mirai, you'll regret this!"

Bound by the Sealing Jutsu, Killer B stared intently at Uchiha Mirai with bloodshot eyes and a malevolent gaze.

His eyes revealed a deep hatred, as if he wanted to tear Uchiha Mirai shreds!

Since being captured and brought here, he has been subjected to inhumane torture every few days.

His appearance has changed dramatically since he was captured.

His once robust body had shrunk by more than 10%, his cheeks were sunken, and the bloodshot eyes made him look even more haggard and ferocious.

"If you have to hate someone, hate your older brother!"

Uchiha Mirai gave him a cold glance.

It can be said that Killer B was completely ruined by the arrogance of A.

However, he had to thank Ai for this; without him, he wouldn't have been able to gather the food for Split Godzilla so easily.

Thanks to the Eight-Tails' selfless sacrifice during this period, Planet Godzilla, having obtained sufficient food, experienced a significant increase in its rate of splitting.

The number of Godzilla in High Plain of Heaven has increased several times over.

Godzilla of various shapes and sizes live freely in High Plain of Heaven.

It was during this period that Uchiha Mirai organized the first group of clansmen to travel to High Plain of Heaven to sign a contract.

Many tribesmen signed contracts with suitable Godzilla.

The emotions of the entire Uchiha Clan were at an all-time high.

Following this atmosphere, Uchiha Mirai exploited the Eight-Tails even more frequently.

As a result, Killer B's screams became more and more frequent.

There's nothing we can do about it; the Eight-Tails simply has far more power than the Two-Tails.

Among all the Tailed Beast, the Eight-Tails 'Chakra is second only to the Nine-Tails, making it the second-ranked Tailed Beast.

"Let's press on and try to breed a few more baby Godzilla!"

Taking a deep breath, he placed his palm on Killer B's abdomen again, unleashing a terrifying suction force.

Within the sealed space, the Eight-Tails's mournful howls echoed.

I'm about to be completely drained!!!

The cave was dark and damp, filled with a putrid stench.

"After all this time, the leader has finally convened a meeting!"

"Yes! Ever since the leader's defeat last time, the organization has been in a state of panic. The leader hasn't shown up yet, is he finally going to appear now?"

Kakuzu remarked with considerable emotion.

He happened to be nearby when Deva Path Pain and Uchiha Mirai were fighting, and he witnessed the scene firsthand.

The horrific war destroyed most of the Forest of Death, turning it into a forbidden zone where life was extinguished.

After that battle, the leader disappeared.

Along with it, the severely damaged Demonic Statue of the Outer Path also disappeared, causing panic within the organization, and Orochimaru even defected.

However, the Akatsuki no longer has the spare energy to pursue Orochimaru.

Now the leader has finally convened another meeting, and all of this is finally coming to an end.

"Everyone, you've worked hard these past few days."

Just as the members of the organization were discussing in hushed tones, a deep voice was heard echoing through the cave.

Kakuzu and the others immediately looked over and saw Pain, the Deva Path Pain, standing high on a rock, wearing Akatsuki cloak. His rippling eyes exuded a faint pressure as he looked down at them.

"Chief? You've finally appeared."

"I thought something had happened to you."

Deva Path Pain took in the expressions of the members below, but his expression remained completely unchanged.

During the last battle with Uchiha Mirai, the body suffered from high-concentration nuclear radiation, causing corrosion marks similar to lividity to appear on its surface, making it resemble a zombie.

Thanks to Nagato Konan's tireless efforts, this mutation was finally contained, but it left an indelible mark on Yahiko's body.

This made his current appearance even more imposing and ferocious.

If he used to call himself a god, now no one would question whether he calls himself a demon.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some good news to share with you."

Deva Path Pain's indifferent voice echoed outwards.

"Good news?"

The crowd fell silent, looking at him with curiosity.

Deva Path Pain calmly raised his hand and then slammed it down on the rock beneath him.

Bang!

The thick white fog dissipated.

A huge, ferocious colossus appeared below him.

"The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path??? Has it been repaired?"

Kakuzu and the others were overjoyed.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was destroyed by Godzilla, and many of them witnessed it firsthand.

Now that the restoration is complete, they are naturally happy.

Immediately, the group realized something was wrong and stared in astonishment.

"This Demonic Statue of the Outer Path... something seems a little different..."

Upon hearing these doubts, Deva Path Pain's aloof expression showed a change for the first time, as if he were somewhat embarrassed.

Good news! It's fixed.

Bad news! It's not fully fixed!

The enormous, mountain-like Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had lost its former majesty; its rough, ancient tree-like body was now covered with numerous white marks of varying sizes.

It looked like several white plasters had been stuck on it.

But if that were all, the Akatsuki members wouldn't be so shocked.

The crucial point is that a large number of black plants, clearly not belonging to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, have grown on its body. These black plants, like tentacles, are wrapped around the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's head, groin, and other parts of its body.

"Um... it's normal for some unexpected things to happen with such a massive project."

Nagato, who was hiding elsewhere and manipulating things, almost embarrassingly dug out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

Fortunately, Deva Path Pain's body was just a corpse and not sensitive to the expression of emotions, so it did not reveal itself.

"Even if it was an accident, this change is too drastic! Can this Demonic Statue of the Outer Path still collect the Tailed Beast?"

"Yes, it would be troublesome if we couldn't collect the Tailed Beast."

Obito, who was standing to the Obito, coughed and immediately spoke up to stop the escalating controversy.

"Don't worry! The leader and I have already tested it; the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path has no problems devouring Tailed Beast."

Upon hearing this, the organization members, who were filled with questions, finally stopped their discussion.

Only the pitcher plant in the corner was gone, its eyes filled with worry.

He single-handedly repaired the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and only he truly understood the problems involved.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path now exists in a state of balance, consisting of nuclear radiation, White Zetsu Cells, and a strange power.

But this balance is quite fragile, White Zetsu doesn't know when it will be broken.

He had naturally informed the leader about these potential problems.

But the leader remained indifferent; the significance of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was too great, and in his eyes, as long as it could be repaired, that was enough.

As for hidden dangers, what kind of hidden dangers can't even be suppressed by the Rinnegan?

White Zetsu sighed silently.

Things have progressed beyond his expectations.

He could only silently pray that the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path wouldn't actually cause any problems!

"I think you've all heard the news: Konoha has obtained the Eight-Tails. Counting the Two-Tails and Nine-Tails from before, Konoha now possesses three Tailed Beasts."

Deva Path Pain surveyed the crowd below.

"Akatsuki's goal is to collect the Tailed Beast and use Tailed Beast power to create peace. We can't wait any longer; we must collect the other Tailed Beast immediately."

"Clear!"
