On the summit of a mountain ten kilometers away from Konoha, a tall tree stands.
It was a disguise made by Konan using the Dance of the Shikigami.
The seventh Pain, Nagato was inside at this time, remotely controlling the Six Paths of Pain.
"Huff... huff... I've razed Konoha to the ground. No matter where the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is hiding, as long as he still loves his village, he will definitely show himself."
"This will deplete your Chakra too much, Nine-Tails..."
"Don't worry, I can handle it... Hmm? Someone's coming!"
Nagato suddenly looked up, his Rinnegan through the paper disguise, and saw a masked person appearing from the void outside.
Konan was already prepared for this. "So you finally couldn't hold back anymore?!"
Click!
The paper-like bark was torn open from the outside, Obito stepped in. " Nagato, it's been a long time."
"Do what..."
"I wanted to tell you the ultimate purpose of collecting the Tailed Beast."
Does it have to be at this time?
Obito smiled. He knew Nagato was trying to buy time. As far as he knew, the Akatsuki members were either tied up in the battlefield or had already been killed.
Nagato himself had just used a powerful technique and was currently low on Chakra.
He's a master at finding loopholes.
"This is important. The purpose of collecting the Tailed Beast is to revive the Ten-Tails. There are actually follow-up plans, and now it's time to be honest with you."
I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table.
"Speak," Nagato wanted to know Obito's purpose.
"By using the power of the Ten-Tails, we will unleash the ultimate Genjutsu, ' Infinite Tsukuyomi,' and everyone will enter the Tsukuyomi World, where they can reunite with their family, lovers, and friends."
There will be no more war, no more sorrow, no more pain. Everyone can get everything they want. That's the whole ' Eye of the Moon ' project.
'What a madman!'
If you're not doing well, you expect the whole world to suffer with you, and nobody else should have an easy time either.
Obito Nagato's surprised expression, Obito explained:
"What's wrong with Genjutsu world? Everything in this world is inherently illusory. You two... don't you remember how Yahiko died?"
War creates tragedy, tragedy brings suffering, there are too many unpleasant things, too many unexpected events, too many things that are too late or cannot be caught up with.
Living in such a cruel environment, the emptiness in people's hearts will only grow larger and larger, and what I want to do is end all of this.
"The core objective is to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, right? As long as you capture the last Nine-Tails, you'll have met all the conditions for reviving the Ten-Tails."
"That's right, but the plan went astray, and we need to make some adjustments."
Obito tilted his head, staring into Nagato's eyes, and said coldly, "I intend to carry out the final step myself."
"Since the goal is to unleash Infinite Tsukuyomi, doesn't it make no difference who carries it out?" Nagato replied.
Same...?
They're not the same!
The purple Rinnegan and the red Sharingan stared at each other, and the air in the tree hollow suddenly froze.
The ship of friendship can capsize at any moment.
The moment before success will also be the climax of betrayal.
Splash...
Konan's body transformed into a flurry of paper fragments as she rushed towards Obito. The purpose of an angel's existence is to protect her 'god'.
"Hmph, using saturation attacks to evade my abilities, not a bad tactic."
Obito didn't care at all; if his Kamui were so easy to break, he would have been killed long ago.
"But please don't forget that the Sharingan can see through Chakra."
Three- Tomoe: Genjutsu - Rapid Sharingan.
No matter how Konan changes, she must 'look' at the enemy when she attacks, otherwise she cannot escape the visual Genjutsu.
Even with her mental fortifications, Konan couldn't withstand the Mangekyo- level eye power, and the spell faltered.
Obito seized this fleeting opportunity and captured Konan's true form.
Buzz...
The space folds, absorbing the surrounding pieces of paper that are floating around.
Thump!
As if his soul trembled, Obito felt his soul about to leave his body.
Looking up, he saw King of Hell of Hell, appear behind Nagato. A soft, purple hand reached out from Nagato's mouth, grabbed his soul, and pulled it out.
The Space-Time Ninjutsu was thus suspended, allowing Konan to escape.
"He feigned an attack by letting Konan take the initiative, his purpose being to lure me into materializing so he could strike at the opportune moment. Damn it."
Don't underestimate the Uchiha's eye power!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Kamui opened a spiral-shaped spatial tunnel and launched the weapons that had been stored in the alternate dimension along the tunnel.
Seeing Nagato, Nagato extended his right hand and used repulsive force to form a circular protective shield that blocked the attack, allowing Obito to escape from King of Hell's soul capture.
"You almost succeeded. I know perfectly well that the cooldown of this ability is 5 seconds. I won't give you another chance."
Obito with lingering fear, uttered a harsh threat. Luckily, he had come prepared, or he would have been in danger.
Nagato retorted, "Likewise, I know very well that your space-time ability derived from the Mangekyō Sharingan can only last for five minutes."
"You seem to know me quite well, surprisingly."
Obito shrugged. What good would it do to know? Kamui was unsolvable.
"After all, we've worked together for so long, it's only natural that we understand each other. Let me see just how capable you are to dare call yourself Madara Uchiha."
"Hahaha..."
Obito let out a burst of maniacal laughter. "It seems you know quite a lot, but it's too late. Today is your death day."
The figure vanished from its original spot and suddenly reappeared Konan's feet, revealing only half of its body to prevent being grabbed by King of Hell's little hands.
" Nagato, I know you very well too. This woman is your greatest weakness."
Kamui!
"Ah..."
Konan exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that Obito liked to crawl under people's skirts; it was truly insidious.
Caught off guard, my leg was grabbed. I tried to break into pieces, but found that the space had become viscous, as if I were caught in Uzumaki and couldn't escape.
Nagato, uttering the " Banshō Ten'in " technique.
The gravity that appeared out of nowhere immediately pulled the scattered pieces of paper together.
Buzz...
Some of the paper pieces being sucked in emitted a dazzling orange-yellow light within the folds of space.
boom!
An explosion occurred within the space, spilling out along the cracks. The remaining pieces of paper quickly coalesced into the shape of Konan next to Nagato, looking somewhat disheveled.
"Did you take them down?"
No.
As soon as he finished speaking, the space fluctuated, and Obito's figure reappeared. Most of his mask had been blown off, revealing his left eye, which shone with an exceptionally bright red light.
He will be immortal for the next five minutes.
"They actually managed to sneak Explosive Tag into my body. I was tricked by you guys."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Konan conjured Angel Wings behind her and fired paper swords at Obito's body, countless paper swords piercing through Obito's body.
"You should know very well that this kind of attack is meaningless to me."
Obito approached Konan step by step amidst the Shuriken barrage, in a state where no one could harm him.
Unless the action exceeds nerve reflexes, like the Fourth Hokage, who caught Kamui off guard and didn't even have time to move his body.
Splash...
Just as Obito was about to reach her, Konan chose to disperse her body, turning into pieces of paper that danced and swirled within the tree hole space.
" Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs "
Obito changed his strategy and began targeting Nagato, who was unable to move, making him a stationary target.
One after another, spear-like wooden spikes shot towards Nagato's body, forcing him to use Shinra Tensei to block them, and then seized the five-second interval to get behind Nagato.
He reached out and grabbed at Nagato.
"The game is over."
Whoosh!
Nagato, along with the entire control unit, suddenly vanished. "This is... Summoning Technique!"
Buzzing...
Every leaf of the entire tree was emitting an orange glow. This was a giant camouflage tree that Konan had built with paper, and she had hidden countless Explosive Tag inside. Even the ground was fake.
Boom boom boom boom boom...!!
The explosion, which lasted for several minutes, completely engulfed Obito Uchiha.
On another mountaintop, in a similar tree, Nagato appeared, surrounded by beings from the Animal Path, Asura Path, Naraka Path, Preta Path, Human Path, and Deva Path realm.
Just now, the Animal Path used Summoning Technique to transfer Nagato's original body here.
After a while, Konan flew here to meet up with Nagato. Obito, who possesses Space-Time Ninjutsu, is not so easy to deal with.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Obito caught up, his other eye now completely gray. He clenched his fist.
"I didn't expect you to cause me so much trouble, but unfortunately, you still can't escape my grasp."
"Let's give it a try, here we go!"
As usual, the Asura Path led the charge, with the other five providing support from the sides, each wielding a black club to surround and kill.
"A few puppets think they can deal with me? Wishful thinking," Obito scoffed.
Others might be fooled by Six Paths of Pain if they don't know the details, but he has a very clear understanding of Six Paths of Pain.
The Human Path attempted to absorb his soul, but he evaded it by becoming ethereal. Suddenly, the Human Path appeared behind him and activated its ability to absorb the soul, but due to the shared vision, the Human Path managed to escape in time.
Whenever he attempts to absorb one of the puppets, the others inevitably attack and kill him while he is materializing.
After several attempts, Six Paths of Pain was really difficult to deal with, like a piece of chewing gum, Obito completely exasperated.
"Speaking of which... it really is! Why should I bother with a few puppets? Your true form is your biggest weakness."
Obito changed his strategy and decided to focus on attacking Nagato's main body. It was like an eagle catching a chick; as long as he seized the opportunity to break through the layers of obstacles and catch the chick, he could succeed.
No matter how the Six Paths of Pain attacked, he used intangibility to dodge and then charged towards Nagato.
This is troublesome. Ignoring all attacks, he passed through Nagato's body and went straight behind him, reaching out to grab the latter.
Shinra Tensei
Kamui blurred, penetrated, and after the repulsive force subsided, Obito reappeared and grabbed again.
Snap!
He placed his palm on Nagato's body, about to activate Kamui, when he noticed that the Six Paths of Pain had formed a circle, holding black rods and ready to strike.
"Are you targeting the moment I activate my ability?"
To absorb it, it must be materialized; but materialization carries the risk of being killed.
To inhale or not to inhale, that is the question. Without a doubt, he had met a ruthless person; this guy was utterly afraid of death.
"Why don't you make a move?" Nagato's voice remained calm, without the slightest fluctuation, and he didn't even turn his head.
"Hmph, don't try to fool me. You hid Explosive Tag on yourself, didn't you? Did you think you could use the same trick a second time?"
Obito didn't believe Nagato hadn't prepared other backup plans. With Six Paths of Pain alone, as long as he was fast enough, he still had a chance to succeed.
I once competed with my teacher to see who was faster, and although I lost badly, it didn't leave me with any lasting trauma.
Having just been tricked by Explosive Tag, he now sees everything as a disguised Explosive Tag.
Otherwise, where did that woman go?
There's definitely a conspiracy.
'My left eye is already unusable; hastily absorbing it would bring unpredictable risks. We're only one step away from the plan's success; there's no need to take that risk.'
Thinking this, Obito slowly withdrew his hand.
"I didn't want things to come to this, but since you're unwilling to cooperate, don't blame me for being ruthless. When I return, it will be your death day."
Ripples appeared in the space, Obito's figure vanished in an instant.
Blocky cracks appeared on the surface of the cross behind Nagato, and pieces of paper rolled up and came together to form the shape of Konan.
"Did he leave? What other tricks does this guy have up his sleeve...?"
"I don't know, let's take it one step at a time."
Nagato shook his head. They had forced the enemy back with the intention of mutual destruction anyway; who knew what else the enemy had up their sleeve?
"I wonder how things are going with Yue..."
