Konan has slowly regained consciousness, but she is still a little weak, Kushina is supporting her.
The reason she was able to recover so quickly was because Kushina injected the Nine-Tails 'Chakra into Konan's body. The Nine-Tails 'Chakra is very powerful; it can be used by herself or others, and it also has a strong regenerative ability.
Konan, sensing the changes within her body, knew that Kushina was helping her, and gave Kushina a grateful look.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Seeing that she could stand steadily, Kushina let go of her and smiled slightly at her.
At this moment, Konan looked around and noticed the passage that ran through the canyon. She showed a surprised expression because she remembered that there was no such tunnel here before.
Upon closer inspection, it's clear that this isn't a tunnel at all; rather, it looks like it was blasted out by some force, leaving a mark that runs through the entire canyon!
The next instant, she suddenly realized what was happening, and an incredulous look appeared in her eyes as she looked at Uya with some shock.
Could it be that...
" Konan, it's all over now. Teacher Uya saved us and killed Hanzo of the Salamander."
Yahiko saw that Konan had woken up and recovered, he spoke to Konan.
However, when Yahiko said this, there was still a hint of undisguised shock in his tone. The scene of Uya killing Hanzo of the Salamander of the Salamander, who was also Demigod of the Ninja World, with a single punch, and piercing through the entire canyon, was still lingering in his mind.
" Hanzo of the Salamander... is dead?!"
Hearing Yahiko's words, Konan couldn't help but show an even more shocked expression.
"Yes, he was killed in one move by Master Uya. This is the aftershock of his attack. I didn't expect Master's power to have reached this level. Even someone like Hanzo of the Salamander couldn't withstand a single blow..."
Yahiko pointed to the tunnel that ran through the canyon, his tone carrying a hint of awe and admiration.
His words confirmed Konan's suspicions. The terrifying mark that suddenly appeared and pierced through the canyon was indeed made by Uya, and it was even the aftershock of a single attack!
Konan was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
Meanwhile, as the initial shock subsided, Yahiko wore a bitter expression as he looked at Uya and said, "Sensei, I've completely failed. My thinking was far too naive. If it weren't for your timely arrival..."
Thinking back to what had just happened, Yahiko felt a wave of fear.
Hanzo of the Salamander clearly wouldn't show the slightest mercy, and he and Konan had no chance of escaping.
"Your idea is indeed naive, but even if I hadn't come this time, some unexpected things would still have happened, and you and Konan wouldn't necessarily die."
Uya looked at Yahiko, then suddenly his eyes flickered, and he said something that made Yahiko pause for a moment.
Konan, who had just recovered from the shock, also heard Uya's words and showed a similar expression of surprise and confusion. In that situation, death was clearly inevitable; what could possibly have happened?
Here, only Kushina's eyes flickered, but she didn't show any surprise.
Uya turned to look at Kushina, nodded slightly, and said, "Did you sense it?"
"Um."
Kushina's eyes flickered, and she turned to look in one direction, her gaze carrying a hint of seriousness.
Even when she's in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, her sensory abilities are incredibly strong. Just now, she detected an extremely powerful Chakra Flow, a Chakra that was almost as strong as her own!
Moreover, it's very close, located in another canyon right next to this one.
Konan Yahiko looked at Uya and Kushina with puzzled expressions. Just as they were about to ask them something, they saw Uya turn around and look at the rock wall on the left side of the canyon.
To be precise, it's facing a certain spot in another canyon behind the rock wall.
"No need to hide anymore, come out."
Uya spoke softly, his voice calm yet clearly penetrating the rock wall, ignoring the patter of rain, and carrying into another canyon.
As the sound echoed, a figure appeared in front of the hole that Uya had punched, and then walked step by step through the hole that pierced through the rock wall, arriving in front of Uya and the others.
Both Yahiko and Konan showed a hint of surprise.
There were others hiding in the shadows?!
But when they saw the person who came, or more precisely, when they saw the person's eyes, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise, their faces showing disbelief.
" Rinnegan?!"
"Impossible! These eyes don't Nagato..."
Although Yahiko and Konan haven't seen Nagato since, the scenes of Nagato unleashing the power of the Nagato left a deep impression on them, and they were undoubtedly very familiar with the Rinnegan.
Compared to them, this was Kushina's first time seeing the Rinnegan, and a look of solemnity appeared in her beautiful eyes. She sensed a terrifying Chakra emanating from the person who was walking towards her, whose body was covered in black rods.
This Chakra even caused the Nine-Tails Chakra within her to feel a faint pressure.
"This is... the Rinnegan."
Nine-Tails opened its eyes as well, a look of shock appearing in its eerie pupils. It couldn't help but exclaim, "The eyes of the Old Man Six Paths have appeared! This era is truly as Uya described..."
Taking a deep breath, Nine-Tails solemnly said to Kushina, "Be careful of those eyes. Be extremely careful, and don't let your guard down."
"Um."
Kushina nodded solemnly; even without Nine-Tails's reminder, she couldn't afford to let her guard down.
Throughout the entire arena, only Uya remained calm. Even when this completely unfamiliar ninja, covered in black rods, appeared before him, he showed no surprise whatsoever.
The Shockwave Sensing had already clearly detected the other party's presence. It had already discovered him when Uya first arrived here, which is why Uya glanced to the left at that time, actually looking at him.
As for the Rinnegan in this completely unfamiliar person's eyes, Uya showed no surprise, because he was all too familiar with it.
Six Paths of Pain!
The Rinnegan possesses the various abilities of the Six Paths, and can create six puppets, known as the Six Paths of Pain. Each Pain possesses a unique ability, such as the Deva Path Pain, which controls gravity and repulsion, and the Preta Path Pain, which can absorb and devour Chakra, and so on.
Nagato, as the original form, possesses the abilities of all Six Paths of Pain.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, Nagato has mastered the Rinnegan and created the Six Paths of Pain. However, there is only one Pain here, and Uya's Shockwave Sensing did not detect the presence of the other Pain.
