Using Flying Raijin, he appeared beside Zero-Two and quickly checked her over.

After finding no danger, Uchiha Yansheng did not put away the four artificial humans. Instead, he had them follow behind him.

Because the distance covered by Flying Raijin had not been very great, Uchiha Yansheng was quickly discovered by Black Zetsu.

And once Black Zetsu found him, Obito Uchiha and Nagato naturally located Uchiha Yansheng as well.

Looking at Obito Uchiha and Nagato standing not far away, along with the enormous Demonic Statue of the Outer Path behind them, Uchiha Yansheng truly felt somewhat nervous.

"Heh, such a grand lineup, all for one person?"

"Looks like I really have been drawing too much attention lately."

"A force of this scale would be enough to attack Konoha. Why go out of your way to lure me out?"

Uchiha Yansheng spoke, trying to stall for a little more time.

"Sure enough, your ability to foresee the future is very limited. That really is good news."

Obito Uchiha's gloomy voice rang out, his tone thick with hatred and killing intent.

Damn, I pushed him too far.

Was it really such a big deal that I made an artificial human with Nohara Rin's appearance? If he pushes me too far, I'll dig up Nohara Rin's grave and use Impure World Reincarnation to bring her back.

Come to think of it, was Nohara Rin's body reburied in Konoha, or did Obito Uchiha take it away?

Danzo Shimura died far too hastily. He left behind so much information, and there was no telling whether he had left Hiruzen Sarutobi any special inheritance before releasing Impure World Reincarnation.

If any of Rin's flesh and blood had been preserved, that would be very interesting.

"Of course it's limited. If I could truly foresee the future without limit, I would have killed an ungrateful bastard like you long ago."

"It's just one dead lover. So many people have died in this world, everyone..."

Uchiha Yansheng tried to provoke him and buy a little time.

But clearly, his words had worked too well. Obito Uchiha immediately went all out, unleashing Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs Technique from his palm as if it cost him nothing.

The Zero-Two artificial human, wearing Nohara Rin's face and possessing her figure, was struck directly in the chest by Obito Uchiha's Cutting Sprigs Technique.

Seeing the bright red blood flowing from her chest, Obito Uchiha fell into confusion for a moment.

Good, one of them had been successfully restrained.

But unfortunately, Nagato did not have a childhood sweetheart who had died. He opened with Summoning Technique, calling forth a whole host of enormous summoned beasts.

Uchiha Yansheng hurriedly sent the three artificial humans around him to deal with those summoned beasts, while he himself stood there quietly.

Looking at Nagato's face, which was no longer gaunt, Uchiha Yansheng could not help feeling irritated.

It would have been one thing if his Susanoo had failed to affect Nagato, but it had actually replenished the other man's chakra.

And besides, if absorbing chakra could make his body less emaciated, why had he been starving himself before?

"Hey, Nagato..."

Uchiha Yansheng looked at Nagato, who was right within reach, and had just begun to say something when Nagato seized him by the throat.

Bang!

The Shadow Clone Technique came through again. This thing really was useful.

As the shadow clone vanished, a jar-shaped object dropped to the ground as well.

Crack. The jar shattered, followed by the appearance of a small mushroom cloud.

In the distance, Uchiha Yansheng's real body had used the Transformation Technique to turn into a small bird. Perched on a branch, he watched the explosion and the rising mushroom cloud, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Uchiha Yansheng naturally did not expect such a trick to deal with the Rinnegan. It was merely a way to draw attention and buy time.

Seeing Morino Ibiki arrive at the agreed-upon location in the distance, the shadow clone beside Uchiha Yansheng released its Transformation Technique.

"Has everyone withdrawn? The ones who came this time are all Jonin. They shouldn't suffer casualties over such a minor problem, right?"

Uchiha Yansheng asked, only to have Black Zetsu stab him through the back in the next instant.

"You only know these little tricks..."

Before the shadow clone shattered, it left behind that mocking remark.

"Oh my, it failed."

Morino Ibiki, transformed from White Zetsu, reverted to his original form. The look he gave Black Zetsu was one of profound wisdom.

These White Zetsu had all been created by Kaguya Otsutsuki using the Divine Tree to transform ordinary people.

Who knew whether this White Zetsu had been like this while alive, or whether he had become this way after death? Either way, it was satisfying to look at.

Black Zetsu did not become angry at White Zetsu's words. Perhaps he was used to it, or perhaps Black Zetsu simply did not possess emotions like anger.

As he watched the two gradually sink into the ground, Uchiha Yansheng still did not feel the slightest sense of safety.

There were far too many ways in the Ninja World to see through the Transformation Technique.

Therefore, regardless of any possible ambush, Uchiha Yansheng immediately released the Transformation Technique.

Sure enough, the instant he released it, Uchiha Yansheng saw a figure. It was still that hand reaching toward him, as though catching him would end the battle.

With that display, Nagato had undoubtedly activated the Human Path's ability.

If the Rinnegan pulled out his soul, then he really would be beyond saving.

Yet very soon, Uchiha Yansheng in Nagato's grasp vanished once more.

And this time, no matter how they searched, they found not a single trace.

Even the four artificial humans Uchiha Yansheng had used to stall for time were summoned away after a while.

"This thing should theoretically count as a living person."

"Or, taking a step back, it should count as a summoned beast, right?"

"But why can the summoning contract I used on inanimate objects still work?"

"Chachamaru, want to try it with me?"

Within the ruins of the Empty Zone, Uchiha Yansheng fiddled with the four artificial humans he had just summoned back.

After battling the summoned beasts Nagato had called forth, the artificial humans were now covered in wounds of all sizes.

Flying Raijin really was quite useful.

"Stop messing around~"

"Yansheng, when will you have time to help me adjust my size? I'm way too big now."

Chachamaru looked at Uchiha Yansheng with a resentful expression.

Although Uchiha Yansheng had successfully allowed the Ninja Cat Clan to possess Sage Art chakra, this enormous size still left Chachamaru rather depressed.

After all, if he was too huge, then those girl cats...

"A Sage Art that shrinks one's size? That's quite difficult. You know, the toads of Mount Myoboku are as big as you, and some are even bigger."

Uchiha Yansheng casually comforted him. All sorts of medical instruments danced through his hands as he continuously repaired and modified the four artificial humans...

At present, this work posed no difficulty at all for Uchiha Yansheng. What he was truly considering was his next plan to strengthen himself.

He had originally thought having enough ocular power would be enough. Who would have expected Nagato to suddenly become stronger?

Besides, when he fought Nagato last time, his Susanoo had not been absorbed by the Preta Path either...

Black Zetsu must have been behind it. He had to find a way to kill him.
