Nagato was on high alert. He hadn't expected Naruto to know even the secrets about the Akatsuki leader. What else was there that Naruto didn't know?
However, after a brief silence, Nagato nodded and agreed to Naruto's request. He finally understood why Naruto wanted to join the Akatsuki. It was all because of that guy who called himself Madara Uchiha. At the same time, Nagato was also curious about what that guy had done to provoke Naruto Uzumaki.
"Okay, I promise."
How could I refuse? Didn't you see they've already come to our doorstep?
"Okay, it's settled then."
Having achieved his goal, Naruto didn't linger and left with Sasuke.
After the two left, Nagato finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since he was thoroughly crushed by Naruto last time, he had no will to fight back when facing Naruto. He had a strange feeling that as long as he dared to fight Naruto, he could just kill him and go see Yahiko.
" Nagato, do we really want to offend that guy?"
Nagato knew perfectly well who Konan was talking about—just a guy who always wore a mask and hid his true intentions. As for offending him, all he knew was that if he didn't give Naruto Uzumaki a satisfactory answer, he would be the one in trouble.
"Sigh, let them fight like dogs. Go and call White Zetsu here."
Seeing this, Konan had no choice but to retreat.
Sasuke, on the other side, asked Naruto curiously.
" Naruto, who was that guy just now?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto glanced at Sasuke indifferently, somewhat confused about what the kid was up to.
"Oh, that guy from earlier was Nagato Uzumaki. He was the controller of those six Pain, and could be considered the Akatsuki's official leader."
Sasuke nodded. He now understood why Naruto wanted to see Obito, but what he didn't expect was that Obito was actually the leader of the Akatsuki.
"Then shall we join this organization?"
"Yes, just like you thought, they're simply here to ambush Obito Uchiha."
Sasuke didn't say much after hearing this, which is very Naruto.
At this moment, Obito was unaware that he had been targeted by Naruto again. He originally thought that as long as he didn't go to the Akatsuki, everything would be fine, but he didn't expect that the guy would actually send Nagato to find him.
After hearing White Zetsu's words, Obito fell silent again. Why was this person still chasing after him to kill him?
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out; he didn't know what to say.
Just as Obito was thinking about how to refuse, a chilling voice rang out from outside the cave.
" Obito Uchiha and face your death."
The sound echoed throughout the cave, stirring up Obito. Obito, looking extremely grim, first glared fiercely at the White Zetsu before walking out of the cave with a livid expression.
Donning the orange mask, he arrived outside the cave and immediately spotted Naruto Uzumaki, who was looking at him with a mocking expression, as if he were toying with his prey. This Obito, who had never lived such a humiliating life since inheriting Madara Uchiha's title.
"Oh, you've finally come out. I thought you were going to hide like a coward. By the way, you don't need to wear that mask anymore. Everyone knows who's hiding, you cowardly rat."
Naruto's words were like knives, relentlessly stabbing at Obito's heart, causing his face to gradually regain its color.
Just as Obito, Naruto attacked without giving Obito chance.
At this point, Obito was completely dumbfounded. How could someone be so unethical? Who's the real villain here?
The Rasengan was aimed at Obito's face, but Obito reacted quickly, activating Kamui and dodging Naruto's attack. Even so, Naruto shattered the mask on Obito's face.
Naruto's speed was just too fast. It was only Obito guard that Naruto was able to do so; otherwise, Naruto would have smashed his head to pieces on the spot.
Obito immediately distanced himself from Naruto. Damn it, Naruto's too bloodthirsty! He attacked him with Rasengan without a word; who could stand that?
"Hey kid, can't we just talk this out? Why do we have to start fighting right away?"
Obito said this, everyone present fell into a brief silence, but Naruto was the first to react.
He chuckled.
"Pfft, do you want to hear what you're saying? Obito, my parents treated you well, didn't they?"
Obito moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Naruto's clean and swift attack. The Rasengan hit his face again, forcing Obito to shut his mouth and desperately dodge Naruto's attack.
" Obito, let me tell you, you're a coward for life, and I'm not going to bother explaining to you. You don't deserve to listen. Go talk to my Rasengan!"
The Rasengan in Naruto's hand suddenly grew several times larger the moment it was released. Since it was in the form of Big Ball Rasengan, and since it would be difficult to strike Obito precisely, he would use firepower to cover the entire area. Naruto's Big Ball Rasengan slammed down on that small patch of ground.
All that could be heard was the deafening roar of explosions. Even the cave where Obito had been was blasted into collapse. Amidst the rising dust and smoke, the agonizing screams of White Zetsu could be faintly heard.
" Obito! Obito! Something terrible has happened! Naruto Uzumaki has bombed your toilet! I can never study poop again! Waaaaah!"
Naruto's lips twitched upon hearing this. He seemed to have figured out who the White Zetsu making those strange noises was. This guy was the real Tobi, wasn't he?
"Cough cough, that was really dangerous."
At this moment, Obito in dust and dirt. One of his arms was missing, and his whole body was tattered. He had completely lost his initial calm and composure. He really didn't expect that Naruto's Rasengan would have such powerful destructive force, almost killing him instantly.
This was completely different from any Rasengan he'd ever seen before. He'd been hit by Rasengan before, so why was Naruto's so powerful?
Naruto clearly wasn't going to give Obito a chance to catch his breath. He gave Sasuke a wink, signaling him to act Sasuke as well. It's safe to say that Sasuke, having grown up with Naruto since childhood, didn't need many words; a single glance was enough for Sasuke to know what to do.
Chidori materialized in his hand, the Mangekyō Sharingan appeared, and black flames instantly began to burn on Obito's body.
" Amaterasu."
Obito was also stunned. He stared in shock at Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan, his mind in complete disarray. He hadn't expected that even Sasuke had successfully awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. He should have fought to the death and wiped out the entire Uchiha Clan back then, but that was clearly impossible now.
