Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Pain decided to launch an operation to collect the last few Tailed Beast.
"Let's go?"
"Why."
Whoosh!~
Two figures dressed in long robes with black backgrounds and red clouds pierced through the heavy rain and flew straight into the sky, disappearing into the thick black clouds in the blink of an eye.
"It's begun, the final plan."
In a dark room in the West Tower, on a cross, Nagato raises his head, revealing his purple, wavy eyes.
With his legs maimed by Explosive Tag, he could only hang there, every day of his life a torment.
This moment has been waited for far too long.
Above the dark clouds, a sun came into view, its golden rays piercing through the sea of clouds and falling down, bright and warm.
"So beautiful," Konan exclaimed.
"You can fly too, haven't you ever flown up to the sky and seen it for yourself?"
No.
"Oh? That's a real shame. Let me tell you a little secret: I've actually been to the moon."
Upon hearing this, Konan subconsciously looked up at the sky; of course, the moon couldn't be seen during the day.
"You've always been a liar. Does deceiving others make you happy?"
"I felt guilty, so I later converted to Buddhism. Whenever I told a lie, I would repent to the Buddha and only after receiving its forgiveness could I feel at peace."
"Are you content to keep lying? Your Buddha has a thousand hands, probably because he's heard too many of your lies."
"Haha..., my Lady Angel, you really understand me."
"Hmph, concentrate. If you fall, I won't help you."
On an island in the Land of Water, Neji arrived early to wait, intending to use his Byakugan to assist in reconnaissance for this operation.
Neji, who was eating a rice ball, stopped and looked up at the sky.
call out...
Two figures flew in on swords and stood in front of Neji.
Is this the child?
"Yes, it's this child."
Konan curiously Neji Hyuga, especially his pure white pupils, which seemed to see through people's hearts. With this, she had seen all three great dojutsu.
'That guy Yue has a silver tongue; he can trick anyone into doing hard labor.'
"Alright, let's assign tasks. According to intelligence, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki is active on a group of islands in the vicinity."
We split into three groups, each responsible for searching a specific area.
"Understood." Neji nodded.
"Disperse!"
Splash...
Konan immediately transformed into a paper butterfly and flew away, while Aoki Tsuki transformed into a bolt of lightning and pierced through the clouds, leaving Neji still standing there in a daze.
Neither of them seems like a normal person...
Neji secretly envied him. Only after seeing more did he realize how vast the world was, and that on the road to becoming stronger, there would always be someone ahead of him.
"Sooner or later, I will become stronger."
The Land of Water is a country composed of archipelagos, with countless islands of varying sizes. Many of these islands are uninhabited, with overlapping mountains and dense jungles that severely obstruct the view.
Finding someone inside is extremely difficult.
A week later, a discovery was finally made. On a small island, Neji was searching with his Byakugan activated when he suddenly saw a rainbow in the sky.
"Those are... bubbles?"
To be precise, it's a person standing inside a bubble, floating in the sky, shimmering with seven colors under the sunlight.
"This Chakra feeling is very similar to Naruto's; it must be him."
Having identified the target, Neji immediately transmitted the information using a flying bird, and soon Aoki Tsuki and Konan arrived on the island to meet him.
"Finally found this guy, he really knows how to hide."
Aoki Tsuki said, " Neji, your mission is complete. Now you can leave the rest to us."
"Hmm." Neji turned and left upon hearing this; he would definitely hide and watch secretly.
"Let's go!"
"Um."
Utakata came to a smooth rock on the mountaintop and blew bubbles. He was a quiet person who liked to lie flat.
The Jinchūriki's traumatic childhood experiences shaped his withdrawn personality; he only wanted to be alone, and everyone who approached him had ulterior motives.
Just then, a flock of butterflies flew in from the horizon and danced around him.
"What's this?"
Buzz...
Some of the butterflies suddenly emitted an orange-yellow glow.
Boom boom boom!!
The paper scraps quickly coalesced into the shape of Konan, staring at the center of the explosion. When the smoke cleared, only shattered stones remained.
"It's a clone."
Beep beep beep...
A shower of water Utakata drifted by, and Konan immediately transformed her body into paper pieces and scattered, encountering her fellow travelers.
Water Release: Bubble Technique
Boom boom boom!!
Not only can Utakata carry people into flight, but it can also explode and kill enemies. It is more useful than Paper Release, mainly because it can be produced in large quantities. With the help of a straw, dozens of foam can be blown in one go.
No one could withstand such relentless bombardment.
Konan transformed her Paper Release into angel wings and used her paper sword to shatter all the Utakata, preventing them from spreading and exploding.
" Angel Wings "
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
This move worked very well. The Utakata shattered instantly after being pierced by the paper sword, without exploding. The paper was then folded into Shuriken and spun rapidly as it was fired at Utakata's body.
Ding ding ding!!
The Paper Shuriken were deflected, and a humanoid monster with six tails appeared on the spot, exuding a terrifying aura.
Konan's heart tightened, and she quickly created distance. Her Paper Release were not very effective against Tailed Beast.
Glug... Glug...
Chakra overflowed from the surface of his body, slowly gathering into a sphere in front of his mouth; it was Tailed Beast Bomb.
Swish...
Dozens of blue threads launched a sneak attack from behind, instantly wrapping around the Partial Tailed Beast Transformation Utakata, forcing the Tailed Beast Bomb to stop.
"Ninja Technique: Spirit Pivot Yama Judgment, Seal."
Konan attacks head-on to draw the enemy's attention, Aoki Tsuki secretly sneaks up behind them and seizes the opportunity to unleash Sealing Jutsu.
Ninjas are cunning.
Black runes spread from his hair to Utakata's body, beginning to suppress his Tailed Beast power, as if he had realized a deadly crisis.
Utakata's body rapidly secreted a highly corrosive liquid.
Boom.. Boom... Boom...
It even managed to corrode and break the hair that was covering its body, taking the opportunity to break free of its restraints.
"How is this possible?" Aoki Tsuki looked astonished. His hair had always been effective, but this was the first time someone had broken through it in this way.
A large section of her beautiful, long, light blue hair has been removed, reducing her charm value by 1.
A giant Katsuyu with six milky-white tails appeared on the spot, its body covered in corrosive slime. Its size was so large that it could not be held down with hair.
Splash...
Folded pieces of paper wrapped with Explosive Tag were stuck onto the Saiken, intending to blow it to pieces.
puff..!!
The Saiken sensed danger, and a row of holes beneath its two small tentacles simultaneously emitted highly acidic gas, enveloping and dissolving the Explosive Tag surrounding its body.
Even the nearby rocks and trees could not escape the corrosive effects of the acidic gases and melted away.
"Wash it clean, it'll be even cleaner! Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave "
Aoki Tsuki Hand Seals and spat out a massive amount of water waves that continuously impacted the Six-Tails Saiken, washing away the acidic mucus secreted from its body to prevent it from sticking to his hands.
Konan's eyes flashed with anger upon hearing this, and her cheeks involuntarily flushed red. "You... you can't say a single nice word!"
The words coming out of this man's mouth just sounded different, strange.
"You're thinking too much. Focus on the fight."
I was just saying it casually, I didn't really think that much about it. Konan Nan is too sensitive and has misinterpreted my true meaning.
His hands Hand Seals, and he pressed them onto the water's surface with a snap!
" Lightning Release: Thunder Lightning Dragon "
roar...
Lightning transforms into the shape of a dragon's head, skimming close to the water's surface as it surges forward. Aoki Tsuki, who is proficient in both lightning and water Chakra, usually uses Water Release only as a prelude to a subsequent attack.
thunderbolt!
"Ah... ah..."
The Saiken howled in agony, its body trembling uncontrollably. But that wasn't all; countless paper spears rained down from the sky, piercing its body and glowing with an orange light.
" Spear of Divine Punishment "
Boom boom boom...
After several minutes of relentless bombardment, a brief silence fell.
"Did you take them down?!"
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Tailed Beast usually have some tricks up their sleeves, unlike me, who surrenders quickly."
"Um... let's not bring up old stories."
Konan suddenly remembered the time the two of them sparred on the training field, and felt a little embarrassed.
puff!
A red laser suddenly shot out from the dust and mist, splitting Konan in two and causing a violent explosion. The red laser then turned and slashed diagonally towards Aoki Tsuki.
" Body Flicker Technique "
At the critical moment, Aoki Tsuki used the remaining water flow nearby to dodge and just appeared in a nearby puddle.
A purple-clad figure appeared before them, extending sharp claws to rip out their heart and lungs.
Almost simultaneously, Aoki Tsuki extended his right palm to unlock the energy release shockwave within the Uzumaki Seal Array.
boom!
The purple figure was sent flying several miles away by the sudden attack.
In mid-air, the remaining pieces of paper reformed into Konan's upper body, with some pieces still burning.
"Huff... huff... you really can't be careless when fighting Jinchūriki."
"I told you, this guy's abilities are slippery and sour, he's not easy to deal with."
The Saiken was gentle and docile. Utakata, as its Jinchūriki, and the two got along very well. Apart from being ostracized by the villagers, this guy had never suffered any other hardships.
He was just too sensitive, thinking his master wanted to steal his Tailed Beast power, which led him to accidentally kill his master and escape.
"Then beat him half to death and take him away."
"Clear."
Sensing the movement on the other side, Aoki Tsuki immediately activated the Thousand-Armed Kannon: Activate and launched the compressed air cannon.
roar...
As the giant wolf, formed from a high-pressure gas cloud, pounced, it opened its mouth and bit the purple Tailed Beast Bullet. However, this Tailed Beast Bullet was somewhat different.
It is soft and extremely sticky; the moment it is bitten, it quickly deforms and wraps around the wolf's head.
boom!!
The violent explosion, combined with the acidic corrosive liquid hidden inside, inflicted secondary damage on the enemy.
Puff puff puff...
The acidic liquid fell like rain, corroding holes in the Thousand-Armed Kannon, from which white smoke continuously billowed.
"It can even dissolve Chakra? Yes, the acid is Lava Release created by fusing Chakra."
Aoki Tsuki remembered someone, Mei Terumi. It seemed that she also possessed such Kekkei Genkai, Boil Release and Lava Release, which dissolved Susanoo.
"Looks like I won't be able to handle you today unless I show you my true skills."
Naruto's Six-Tails is in a chaotic state, but Utakata is different. This guy is guided by his own consciousness, making him flexible, unpredictable, and incredibly powerful.
Konan wasn't having an easy time either. Her Paper Release had finally met its match today, leaving her riddled with holes and covered in scraps of paper.
Just as he was having a headache, he noticed that Aoki Tsuki had started Hand Seals, or rather, his Thousand-Armed Kannon was Hand Seals.
"So many hands Hand Seals, what kind of technique is this?"
She was certain it was a new Ninjutsu she had never seen before; this person must be hiding countless treasures.
"Immortal Technique: Lightning Hunt "
Sizzle... Sizzle...
In a flash of lightning, dozens of blue-white ball-shaped lightning bolts appeared and were thrown out simultaneously.
The lightning balls seemed to be attracted to each other by something, and even when they moved erratically, they always connected end to end, like a string of pearls.
The explosion occurs the instant it makes contact with the target, accompanied by a high-voltage, high-current spray that covers the target like a net.
Boom boom boom...
The continuous explosions were accompanied by high-frequency flashes of light and shadow, like a thunderous spectacle unfolding. Soon, a burnt smell wafted over on the wind.
"Lord Konan, you fly fast, why don't you go and take a look?"
As cautious as an old dog, Aoki Tsuki wouldn't take any risks. With the blessing of Sage Mode, he could only create this many Beaded Thunderstorm.
"Okay." Without saying a word, Konan flew straight over.
Upon reaching Utakata, they saw him lying in a pile of rubble, his clothes tattered, and he appeared to be unconscious.
Sheets of paper slowly covered Utakata's body, preparing to deliver the final blow.
Just then, Utakata's unconscious body suddenly disintegrated, turning into Utakata that detached from the paper wrapping and reassembled into his original form.
It's comparable to Konan's "Dance of the Shikigami," it should be called "Utakata Dance."
puff...
Utakata opened his mouth and sprayed out a large amount of highly concentrated milky white acid.
Faced with this thing at such close range, Konan instinctively turned her head to the side, getting soaked instantly and seeing white smoke billowing from it.
" Clone Great Explosion "
boom...
Utakata hadn't anticipated this situation. He was caught off guard and splashed with the liquid that had been scattered by the explosion. He screamed in agony.
"Ah...!!"
Aoki Tsuki suddenly appeared behind him, and a ball of water-attribute Chakra that he had gathered in his palm struck into Utakata's body.
" Vajra Water Sphere "
Bang!
With his internal organs ruptured, Utakata could no longer hold on. He opened his mouth, spitting out blood, and collapsed to the ground, where he remained motionless.
He had intended to preserve his last strength, feigning death to lure the enemy closer and then launch a counterattack, but little did he know that these two were both incredibly skilled actors, turning the tables on him and anticipating his prediction.
Those two scoundrels, they ganged up to bully honest people.
"Phew... It's finally done, Konan, you're truly amazing." Aoki Tsuki exclaimed in admiration.
"Snort."
Konan glared fiercely. Only Paper Clone disguised by the " Dance of the Shikigami " could fool Jinchūriki; otherwise, the opponent wouldn't have fallen for it so easily.
The two had rehearsed the tactical plan many times beforehand.
"It's getting late. Kakuzu and Hidan should be finishing their mission soon. Let's hurry and meet up."
"Okay, let's go."
On a distant mountaintop, Neji watched the entire process with his Byakugan activated, his heart pounding wildly.
"Wow, even a powerful Tailed Beast is no match for them."
His desire for power intensified once more. Even if he mastered the Hyuga Clan's Taijutsu to perfection and developed some kind of cheat-like advantage, he still wouldn't be able to defeat the Tailed Beast.
Is it possible to poke someone with such a massive size using a finger?
The Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm probably can't even break through the skin's defenses, let alone penetrate internal organs.
Neji immediately decided to reduce his pressure point practice and instead focus on more destructive Taijutsu.
