"Nagato..."
Behind Nagato, Konan, holding Yahiko's body, stared blankly at the scene.
If she had that kind of power, Yahiko wouldn't have died, right?
But at this point, Nagato was destined not to answer him; Nagato only wanted to kill Hanzo!
"Hanzo, prepare to die!"
Nagato smiled, panting wearily.
Seeing that only Hanzo remained, he was happy.
Although he was extremely tired, he felt like he was in incredibly good shape!
"Snort!"
Noticing the sinister glint in Nagato's eyes, Hanzo snorted coldly. He wasn't fighting alone!
Hanzo turned his head and looked towards where Danzo was hiding.
"Danzo!"
Upon seeing Root emerge from the shadows, Nagato's smile froze.
He knows his own situation best; he's already nearing his limit in maintaining his Summoning Technique and dragon-shaped attacks.
Now that there are so many more Jonin- level powerhouses, he might just be doomed here!
"Rinnegan..."
Danzo, emerging from the shadows, looked at Nagato's Rinnegan with a mixture of greed and fear in his eyes.
The power of the Rinnegan is truly strong, so strong that it gave him hope of defeating the Uchiha, but facing a pair of Rinnegan was completely disastrous!
"Can you extract souls and Chakra?"
Danzo glanced warily at Nagato's still-struggling dragon-shaped attack and instinctively chose to stall.
This isn't cowardice, it's the wisdom of a ninja!
In any case, the Uzumaki Clan won't last much longer!
"Shimura Danzō!"
At that moment, a voice filled with gritted teeth reached everyone's ears.
They looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Uzumaki Rieko, with her full head of red hair, who was speaking.
At this moment, she was glaring angrily at Danzo, who was surrounded by the Root.
This gave Hanzo a pleasant surprise. He had been completely drawing Nagato's attention, but now his "good brother" was helping to lighten his load!
'As expected of the Darkness of Ninja!'
Hanzo gave Danzo an appreciative look. Indeed, his decision to send Danzo was the right one!
"I know you, Uzumaki..."
Danzo looked at Rieko and spoke slowly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
As a worthy member of the Dark Ninja Clan, when the Uzumaki Clan arrived in Konoha, he held the attitude of preparing another "container" for Konoha, and he had quite a few ideas about Rieko.
Unfortunately, his actions were thwarted by various reasons.
But this also created a grudge between the two.
It was at this moment that Nagato's dragon-shaped attack, which he had been desperately maintaining, finally dissipated!
Danzo, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Although he didn't know why, he just wanted to make a good mockery.
"So what if it's me? I'm right here, what can you do about it now?"
"You can't do anything!"
Danzo's words deeply stung Nagato, causing him to unconsciously clench his fists.
"If you could do anything, things wouldn't be like this now!"
"Your companion is dead!"
Danzo spoke, drawing fire for himself.
Rieko stepped forward, blocking the weakened Nagato, and placed a hand on Nagato body.
"We may not be your match, but the Uchiha Clan is not!"
Rieko's words immediately froze Danzo and the others' expressions.
But,
"So what?"
"The Uchiha Clan isn't here!"
Hanzo was taken aback at first, then, as if trying to save face, he quickly spoke.
Hanzo's words brought Danzo and the others back to their senses. They were afraid of the Uchiha, but the Uchiha weren't here!
"Are you trying to scare us?"
Danzo opened his one eye, his gaze filled with murderous intent.
He was actually afraid, and he was an Uchiha?
"Don't even think about it! The Uchiha aren't in the Land of Rain, they can't save you!"
Danzo speaking, he lost the desire to continue. He casually waved his hand, signaling the Root members to deal with Rieko.
"But I can contact that Uchiha anytime!"
Rieko remained calm under pressure and did her best to delay the inevitable.
She is using her blind spot to slowly restore Nagato.
If Nagato can unleash his power once more, they can survive!
The Root members, after glancing at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path behind Danzo and Nagato, wisely refrained from further action.
"Heh, you forgot that everything on you was taken?"
What kind of contact are you making?!
Danzo smiled too; Nagato was stalling for time, but weren't they doing the same?
Danzo Nagato a meaningful look, then frowned.
Why has this kid's complexion improved?
"Hehe, then you don't need to worry about that!"
Rieko gave a cold laugh, but the smile froze.
Her Shadow Clone Technique exploded!
It was pierced and destroyed by a strange white figure that emerged from the ground!
"How could this be..."
Rieko gritted her teeth; this was really going to be her death!
Rieko's obvious change also attracted everyone's attention.
"It seems something has gone wrong?"
Danzo looked at Rieko with a half-smile, the meaning of which was self-evident.
They've run out of ideas!
A smile crept onto Hanzo's lips. Now, all they had to do was wait for Nagato to give out, and their plan would be a complete success!
"Attack!"
At Danzo's command, the Root formed hand Hand Seals and attacked Nagato.
A look of confusion flashed in Hanzo's eyes. No, wasn't it better for them not to keep waiting?
"Nagato!"
Seeing the endless stream of Ninjutsu attacks, Rieko turned to look at Nagato behind her.
Nagato nodded.
"Shinra Tensei!"
All attacks were instantly deflected and disappeared!
Danzo's expression changed upon seeing Nagato's counterattack.
"Oh no, he's recovered!"
Many Root members, understanding the implication, turned their attention to Rieko and Konan.
Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!
A pair of hands reached out from under Rieko's feet and pulled Rieko directly into the soil.
"Earth Release: Earth Release: Hiding in Earth Technique!"
The person who grabbed Rieko, along with Rieko, seemed to transform into a fish swimming on the soil, quickly disappearing into the distance.
"Rieko!"
Nagato's eyes widened in fury as he tried to block, but his Root attack still aimed at Konan.
Faced with the Root's attack, Nagato, who was unfamiliar with the power of the Rinnegan, could only barely protect Konan.
"Walk"
Seeing that Nagato was not in good condition, Danzo had the idea of retreating. He waved his hand and took the lead in leaving.
Along with the unconscious Rieko, the group retreated in a grand manner, while Nagato, with his legs mangled and bloodied, could only rage helplessly.
"Rieko!"
In the nearby forest, where Rieko's Shadow Clone Technique shattered.
"Black Zetsu, there's someone watching us!"
White Zetsu, bored out of his mind, suddenly thought about the urge to defecate and said...
Keep in mind, they're currently using White Zetsu's abilities to stay hidden in the soil; no one in the Shinobi World should be able to detect them right now!
On the other side, Black Zetsu, who was possessing White Zetsu, was startled and quickly looked up.
There was a guy who looked remarkably like White Zetsu, Teuchi them!
