Free Intelligence for You, Believe It or Not!

Five small mushroom clouds rose near the Rain Village, and the massive shockwaves from the explosions blew Zero-One, Zero-Two, and Zero-Three far away.

Uchiha Yansheng's technique was fairly decent. Even explosions at such close range failed to inflict much damage on the artificial humans. After rolling around for a while, they climbed back up and stood before Uchiha Yansheng.

Seizing the chance, Kakashi Hatake immediately asked, "Yansheng, what was that thing pulled out from Rin... from Zero-Two just now? A soul?"

"What exactly did you do to Rin?"

Kakashi Hatake's voice was already filled with panic. He could remain calm over other matters, but when it involved Nohara Rin, it was truly difficult for him to control himself.

"Uh... You observed quite thoroughly."

"First, I assure you that thing was only meant to disgust Obito Uchiha. Who told him to let me find out who he was?"

"Second, that did count as a kind of soul. I won't explain where it came from, but it definitely didn't come from an actual human."

As Kakashi Hatake listened, he did not rush to determine whether it was true. He merely committed the information to memory while beginning to consider what kind of ninjutsu the enemy possessed that could actually extract souls.

As they spoke, the dust from the explosions finally dispersed somewhat under the force of a power.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yansheng could not be bothered with Kakashi Hatake and directly called out:

"Just as expected, the Deva Path isn't so easy to blow up."

"Nagato, how about we talk? If you keep attacking, Yahiko's corpse won't be preserved."

When the explosions went off, the other five Pains had all been blown away, but the Deva Path had used Almighty Push at the most critical moment to blast away every Exploding Fly.

Upon hearing this, Deva Path Pain showed no reaction and merely rose higher into the air.

Seeing this, Konan immediately began to retreat.

"Oh? Looks like he's about to unleash a big move!"

"Kakashi, use Kamui to twist him away!"

Uchiha Yansheng spoke to Kakashi Hatake beside him, but after hearing him, Kakashi Hatake answered with some difficulty:

"My mastery of the Mangekyo Sharingan isn't complete yet. I probably... can't do it."

Uchiha Yansheng helplessly mocked, "What use are you, you useless trash?"

Then, he controlled the three artificial humans to come to his side. Using the ocular power stored within the Shadow Clone Technique, he combined it with the power inside the three artificial humans...

Ultra-Almighty Push!

This technique differed from the large-scale version Uchiha Yansheng remembered. It was more like a focused shockwave.

That was only natural. In the original events, it had been used to destroy Konoha, whereas now it was aimed at an individual, so its power naturally had to be concentrated as much as possible.

As for why he sensed it so clearly, it was naturally because he had used similar power himself.

At this moment, Uchiha Yansheng's entire body was enveloped in deep-blue chakra, as though he were draped in a cloak.

His crimson eyes glowed with a faint blue halo, and the pure-white pupils at their centers were especially striking.

"This move seems impossible to dodge!"

Along with Uchiha Yansheng's words, a giant resembling Susanoo appeared. It stretched out both hands and released a similar repulsive force, completely blocking the Ultra-Almighty Push.

Soon, the duration of Ultra-Almighty Push ended, while more than half of the ocular power infused into Uchiha Yansheng's Shadow Clone Technique had also been consumed.

The giant resembling Susanoo gradually collapsed and vanished after expending enormous amounts of chakra.

In addition, much of the chakra within the three artificial humans had been depleted as well.

The only one who remained in peak condition was naturally Kakashi Hatake, who had been standing around doing nothing.

With a thought from Uchiha Yansheng, the three artificial humans beside him charged forward together, using all sorts of methods to begin besieging the weakened Deva Path.

At that moment, Konan, who had just hidden herself away, joined the battle and began fighting the three artificial humans.

It was unclear whether Konan's Paper Release was a Kekkei Genkai or not. Although it did not have particularly powerful offensive ninjutsu, its practicality was truly formidable.

Those continuously detonating explosive tags really resembled Tobirama Senju's Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags Technique.

After fighting for some time, the Deva Path finally recovered and rejoined the battle.

Universal Pull and Almighty Push were used in alternating succession, completely disrupting the fighting rhythm of the three artificial humans.

For a time, the three artificial humans into whom Uchiha Yansheng had poured so much effort were being beaten down miserably.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yansheng could only take out some stored blood again and use the Summoning Technique once more.

However, the number of Exploding Flies this time was far smaller than before.

"Enough. If you don't stop, I'll release these things into the Rain Village..."

Under the threat of the Exploding Flies, Nagato and Konan finally stopped.

Neither of them showed any signs of fatigue, while Uchiha Yansheng's three artificial humans were already riddled with damage.

"Come over and let's talk!"

The Deva Path did not move, but after hesitating, Konan voluntarily stepped forward.

Deva Path Pain placed his body in front of Konan. No one knew what the two said, but in the end, Konan still came over herself.

"How did you learn our identities? Did Teacher Jiraiya tell you?"

Konan was the first to ask. Her tone seemed to contain many tangled emotions.

"Jiraiya? Unfortunately, he doesn't even know you're still alive. As for me... it's simple. I possess a pair of eyes that can see the past and the future."

"Let me give you some intelligence for free. Believe it or not! Hand over Shisui later, and there won't be any trouble."

"Nagato's eyes belong to Madara Uchiha. After his battle with Hashirama Senju, he unlocked another level of the Sharingan—the Rinnegan."

"By the way, the Sage of Six Paths originally possessed the Sharingan as well."

Upon hearing this, Nagato immediately interrupted Uchiha Yansheng.

"No, that's impossible. I was born with these eyes!"

Uchiha Yansheng rolled his eyes at him and sneered:

"I already said, believe it or not! Who do you think I am? Why would I be responsible for explaining it to you?"

"Shut up and listen. I'm continuing."

"The one who killed the original Akatsuki was Obito Uchiha. It was during the time you fell into Hanzo's trap and your legs were crippled..."

"Oh, and the reason Hanzo attacked you was also because of Obito Uchiha. Danzo was involved in this as well..."

"In short, Yahiko was killed by Obito Uchiha and Danzo."

"As for Danzo, I heard some time ago that he died. Whether that's true or not, who knows?"

Hearing this, although she should have remained skeptical, Konan had already chosen to trust him in her heart. She could not help asking, "Why did he do this?"

Hearing that, Uchiha Yansheng smiled mockingly and continued:

"Why? Naturally, for Madara Uchiha's eyes."

"He needed Nagato to grow strong enough to use Rinne Rebirth and resurrect Madara Uchiha."

"And you were merely pawns for Madara Uchiha's resurrection."

"If I were you, I'd destroy those eyes right now and make certain people's schemes come to nothing."

"But I suppose you can't do it. Madara Uchiha left a backup plan within the Rinnegan. You probably..."
