Chapter 192 |
Looking down from the air.
Most of the Konoha Village has been turned into ruins, with fire and smoke everywhere, corpses strewn on the streets, and the Konoha River that runs through the village red with blood.
War is like a meat grinder with full power, mercilessly devouring everyone's flesh, blood and soul.
The most brutal battlefield is none other than this.
If the fight continues, in order to completely annihilate the nearly 20,000 defenders of Konoha, the Ninja Alliance will probably have to pay a very heavy price.
Fortunately for many ordinary ninjas in both camps.
There is a truce.
With the appearance of Danzo, the Fifth Hokage, the pause button was pressed on the Konoha siege.
The two sides sat down "calmly" and entered the peace talks stage.
If the person sitting in the position of Hokage was the Sandaime, Jiraiya, or anyone else, I am afraid that he would not have the ability to turn the tide and make the Konoha comeback.
An indecisive person like the Sandaime will only lead Konoha to destruction.
Only Danzo Shimura came up with such a ruthless move to tie the lives of Konoha ninjas and the allied ninja forces to death together.
This made the enemy put the enemy in a defensive position and not dare to act rashly again.
Therefore, it was Danzo who saved the lives of tens of thousands of ninjas and more than 100,000 villagers in Konoha. For this reason alone, he is the greatest Hokage in history.
The above are Danzo’s own thoughts.
He believed from the bottom of his heart that he, Shimura Danzo, was the savior of Konoha.
Soon.
Under the orders of the top leaders of both sides, the ninjas of Konoha and the coalition stopped their actions, and tens of thousands of people gathered in the center of the village.
Since the Hokage Building had completely collapsed, there was not even an intact building in Konoha, so both sides set up a temporary tent in the center of the battlefield.
As a venue for negotiations.
On the side of the ninja alliance, the representatives attending the negotiations were Tsuchikage Onoki, Raikage A, Mizukage Karatachi Yagura, and Chiyo, who temporarily acted as the Kazekage.
On the Konoha side, almost all the heads of the various ninja clans came to the battle with bandages and injuries.
Hyuga Hiashi, Akimichi Choza, Yamanaka Inoichi, Nara Shikaku, Aburame Shibi… These people all looked at Danzo, the new Hokage, with complicated expressions, and watched him enter the tent with several Anbu guards.
Peace negotiations have officially begun.
"Hey, it's raining."
Outside the tent, Konoha Jonin Might Guy stretched out a hand and found a few drops of rain falling on his palm.
He raised his head and looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was dark and gloomy, and the raindrops quickly formed a line and fell down.
The rain fell on the Konoha Village, extinguishing the flames and thick smoke burning everywhere, and washing the dark red bloodstains on the ground, as if——
It also brings an end to this cruel war.
Outside Konoha Village, on a hillside.
In the rain, Obito looked at the dilapidated Konoha with a calm expression. No one knew what he was thinking.
The tall Hoshigaki Kisame stood behind Obito with a large sword on his back, his eyes unblinking, and he was also silent.
The two of them witnessed the entire Konoha siege.
At this time.
Poof.
Zetsu, his upper body emerged from the ground and reported the specific situation on the battlefield to Obito.
The key content is naturally the death of Pain and Uchiha Dan, and the beginning of peace negotiations between the two sides of the war.
After Obito listened, he shook his head.
"The Six Paths of Pain are just puppets made of six corpses. Even if they are destroyed, Nagato can easily create a new Pain. As for Uchiha Dan, that guy is definitely not dead!"
His tone was decisive, confirming that Dan's death was trickery.
To a certain extent, as Dan's enemy, Obito is the person who understands and trusts Dan the most in the world.
His intuition told him that Uchiha Dan could not die like this.
Even.
After that guy escaped from the Konoha battlefield, he might be around here.
Thinking of this, Obito suddenly became suspicious, looked around, and his expression became nervous.
"Go, leave here immediately."
He felt that this place was very unsafe and had no intention of staying for a long time, so he immediately took his two followers, Kisame and Zetsu, with him and evacuated quickly.
A group of three people disappeared into the rain.
The land of the Uchiha clan, on the top of a hill.
"Ha…ha…"
Dan half-knelt on the ground, breathing heavily, his skin was like a red-hot iron, and bursts of white smoke were rising all over his body.
The rain fell on him, cooling his body down a bit.
Five kilometers.
Previously, Dan had never tried to use Heaven Drive to teleport such a long distance.
Sure enough, not only did he consume a large amount of chakra, but in the process, the violent friction between the body and the air caused by the high-speed movement also caused a considerable load on his body.
Dan stood up, wiped the blood and tears from his cheeks, closed his eyes and rested for a while.
In the short term, it would be best for him not to forcefully use Heaven Drive again.
Looking back at Konoha, He found that the village had become quiet, and there was no longer the sound of killing.
It seems that the old guy Danzo took action.
Ah.
Dan smiled silently, looking forward to seeing what new tricks Danzo would come up with.
Konoha, it’s not that easy to get through this.
But now.
Dan retracted his gaze and looked northwest of Konoha, planning to go to Nagato for fun first.
Whoosh.
His figure flashed and disappeared from the top of the mountain.
……
Surrounding Konoha is a vast virgin forest.
In a clearing in the forest, a translucent outline of some kind of creature appeared, and then it became clearer and clearer, and finally——
A huge chameleon with dark green skin appeared.
The eyes of this chameleon are purple Rinnegan eyes similar to the growth ring patterns of trees.
Countless pieces of paper flew lightly, not affected by the rain at all, and gathered into the appearance of a woman with flowers on her head and an Akatsuki coat.
It’s Konan.
Seeing Konan appear, the chameleon immediately opened its mouth, rolled its long tongue around Uzumaki Naruto, and spit it out.
"Is this the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki?"
Konan's eyes narrowed and she looked at the kid in front of her who was covered in wet mucus. She found that the kid was very young and had shocking scars all over his body.
Those injuries were all caused by being burned by Kyuubi's chakra.
Poor little kid.
At such a young age, he was treated as a tool.
Konan shook her head and stretched out a hand to Uzumaki Naruto.
Suddenly.
A large number of pieces of paper flew out from her fingertips, forming a small cocoon and wrapping Naruto.
"Bang!"
After the chameleon completed its task, it disappeared in a burst of white smoke.
A few minutes later.
Konan took Naruto and came to the depths of the woods.
There are towering trees here, each of which can be hugged by seven or eight people and is tens of meters high. The tall and lush canopy blocks most of the rain.
Konan walked to one of the big trees, and the bark flew up like pieces of paper, revealing a door.
In fact, this entire big tree was made by Konan using paper ninjutsu. From the outside, it looks no different from other trees.
As long as you hide inside it, you will not be noticed by the enemy. Even if the opponent has the Mangekyō Sharingan or Byakugan, they will not be able to see through this paper tree.
Inside this is Nagato's hiding place.
She goes inside the tree.
At a glance, she saw a man with long red hair. His upper body was bony, his ribs were clearly visible, and his back was covered with black rods.
His lower body is not human legs, but a huge wheelchair connected to a mechanical device like a spider leg.
At this time, Nagato was panting violently, sweating profusely and looking pale.
"Nagato, are you okay?"
When Konan saw this scene, she couldn't help being surprised, and quickly stepped forward to ask.
"The Six Paths of Pain were destroyed and I was defeated." Nagato said calmly.
"Even the Heaven Path?" Konan was even more surprised.
Although Heaven Path is a puppet, it was made from Yahiko's corpse. Nagato has put the most effort into it and has always treated it as the real Yahiko.
"Yes, Yahiko's body was also destroyed, but…it is enough to have Uchiha Dan buried with Yahiko."
Nagato said slowly, telling Konan everything that happened on the battlefield.
When Konan heard this, she couldn't help but look solemnly and said with emotion:
"Uchiha Dan, it turns out he forced you into this situation."
At the beginning.
Ever since Dan first took action and killed several spies of Amegakure on the streets of Konoha Village, Konan had noticed him.
She collected a lot of information about Dan, and repeatedly reminded Nagato to be careful about this person.
Now it seems that she and Nagato still underestimated Uchiha Dan's strength.
Fortunately.
This operation at least captured the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, which can be regarded as completing the goal of this trip.
In addition, Nagato remotely dispelled the psychic technique at a critical moment, allowing the Gedo Statue to return to the moon smoothly without letting it fall into the hands of the enemy.
Under Nagato’s gaze.
Konan waved her hand, and the cocoon formed by the paper slowly opened, revealing Naruto inside.
"Naruto Uzumaki, are you a member of the Uzumaki clan like me? No wonder this kid has such a good physique. The nine tails in his body went berserk twice in a row, but it failed to kill him."
Nagato looked at Naruto in front of him and sighed.
Since the destruction of Uzushio Village, the surviving Uzumaki clan members have been scattered throughout the ninja world, like duckweed in the rain, gradually dying out as time goes by.
Nagato and Naruto are probably the last Uzumaki clan members in this world.
That’s why he was so emotional.
"But……"
Konan frowned, a little confused, "Shouldn't the Uzumaki clan have red hair, but this kid has yellow hair."
"Perhaps his father's genes are too strong. After all, that is the famous yellow flash Minato Namikaze."
Nagato teased, showing a rare smile.
But then, his smile disappeared again, but he sighed and said three words:
"What a pity."
Such a talented kid, who was also a member of Nagato's clan, was so used by the people of Konoha that Nagato couldn't help but feel a little compassion.
However, the jinchūriki is the original sin.
After he returns, he will use the Gedo Statue to extract the nine tails from Naruto's body. As we all know, there is only one end for a jinchuriki who loses his tailed beast.
It is death.
Konan saw Nagato's mood swings, calmly put Naruto away and said to him:
"It's time to get out of here."
The top priority is to return to Amegakure, which is their base camp and is absolutely safe.
"Yeah."
Nagato nodded, immediately activated the wheelchair device with chakra, and planned to walk out of the paper tree with Konan.
But at this moment, his pupils suddenly shrank and his whole body was shaken.
"What's wrong?" Konan was surprised.
"Someone is approaching here quickly."
Nagato looked solemn and closed his eyes to feel carefully.
Just now, after it rained outside.
He then used the power of the Rinnegan to mix his chakra into the rainwater, and monitored nearby movements.
The chakra that is approaching here seems to be very familiar to Nagato. It is…
Uchiha Dan!
He opened his eyes and was shocked.
Dan, not only did he not die, he actually found this place.
When he fought against Heaven Path, did he use the black rod in Heaven Path's body to reverse track the chakra?
Nagato thought for a moment and then understood what was going on.
He took a deep breath and realized again that he had underestimated Uchiha Dan.
"Uchiha Dan?!"
Hearing this name from the long door, Konan was also frightened. After recovering, she quickly said, "Let's leave quickly!"
It was beyond her expectation.
Nagato calmed down and shook his head:
"Uchiha Dan's target has been me from the beginning. If I guessed correctly, what he wants… is probably my Rinnegan. I can no longer leave after being targeted by that guy."
Sitting in a wheelchair, Nagato’s biggest weakness is his limited mobility.
Once his identity is discovered, he will be in danger, let alone a ruthless character like Uchiha Dan.
Konan's expression changed, her eyes became sharp, and she said coldly:
"In this case, we can only fight to the death."
She and Nagato join forces to fight to the death. It is still unclear who will win.
Nagato was silent, his expression changed, and he was thinking a lot quickly in his mind.
A few seconds later.
In Konan's surprised eyes, he raised his finger——
Then he inserted it into his eye socket without hesitation.
"Nagato, what are you doing?!"
Konan was shocked. Before she could stop him, Nagato had already gouged out his own eyes.
His two eye sockets suddenly turned into bloody holes, and two lines of bloody tears flowed from them, which looked very scary.
"Konan, listen to me, calm down first."
Nagato endured the severe pain in his eyes and gasped as he confessed to Konan, "Take my eyes and the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki and leave here immediately. I will hold Uchiha Dan back and buy you time…"
"No!"
He was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Konan. She looked determined, "I won't leave, I want to fight with you, even if we die, we will die together!"
For Konan, if Yahiko and Nagato are both dead, what's the point of living in this desperate world?
“Shut up!"
Nagato suddenly roared at Konan, "Do you want all the efforts we have made so far to be in vain?"
Konan was stunned and stood there blankly.
"Konan."
Nagato's tone softened slightly, and he said to her earnestly, "Don't forget what supports us to this day. Realizing world peace is both Yahiko's dream and my wish. Akatsuki's future and dreams are all left to you. Come on… go!”
At the end, Nagato's tone became urgent again, full of determination.
Dream.
Upon hearing this word, two lines of hot tears fell down Konan's cheeks unknowingly.
No more hesitation.
She turned around, no longer looking at Nagato, and rushed out of the paper tree as fast as she could.
Then, there was a crashing sound.
Countless pieces of paper gathered behind Konan, forming a pair of wide white wings, carrying her into the sky and flying into the distance.
Inside the paper tree.
Sensing that Konan's chakra quickly faded away until it disappeared, Nagato finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He lowered his head, panting, and allowed blood and tears to flow from his eyes, dripping down his cheeks to the ground.
He don’t know how long it took, maybe a few minutes, maybe only a dozen seconds.
Tap tap tap.
There was a sound of footsteps, approaching from far away, and finally stopped a few meters away from the long door.
Nagato slowly raised his head. Although he lost his eyes, he still seemed to be able to clearly see the person standing in front of him.
That’s right, it’s Uchiha Dan.
Seeing Nagato's eyes with only two holes left, he looked surprised. After thinking about it for a while, he roughly understood what happened.
"It seems you knew I was coming, was it through the rain?"
He asked.
“You caught me."
Nagato showed a self-deprecating smile and sighed, "Uchiha Dan, you are such a terrible guy. Now I finally understand why Obito keeps losing to you."
After hearing this, Dan also smiled:
"That guy Obito is just a toy of mine."
After a moment of silence.
Nagato spoke again, this time he asked Dan:
"Dan, who are you fighting for? It doesn't seem to be for Konoha, nor for the Uchiha clan. Let me guess, everything you do is for yourself, including dealing with me, and also to get the Rinnegan Eye. Yes ?"
"You sure talk, aren’t you."
Dan did not refute, but followed Nagato's words and asked the latter, "So where is your Rinnegan, did you let Konan take it away? It seems that I have to go to Amegakure to find her."
"No need to look for it." Nagato shook his head.
"Why?" He was puzzled.
Nagato's voice suddenly turned cold and he announced coldly:
"Because you will die here. And this time, as you wish, it will be my body that dies with you."
Rumble.
The huge paper tree where the two of them were was shook violently, and an opaque purple barrier formed in the space inside the tree.
"Your Mangekyou Sharingan should have some ability similar to teleportation. It can teleport yourself to the focus of your sight, right?"
Nagato revealed the secret of Heaven Drive with one sentence.
"So?" Dan asked, seemingly unhurried.
To this, Nagato responded calmly:
"I used the pupil power of the Rinnegan in advance and set up a sealing barrier here to isolate it from the outside world. I'm afraid your teleportation ability will not be of use.
Let me tell you one more thing. This barrier can only be broken from the outside. If the people inside want to get out, even if they use thousands of times the force, it will not help.
Now, let this big tree become a common grave for you and me, Uchiha Dan! "
At the end of Nagato's words, his face showed a ferocious expression, and he shouted out Dan's name with all his strength.
The dark seal of the Four Symbols appeared on Nagato's bony chest.
He was ready to die.
Four symbol Seal Technique that comes from the Uzumaki clan, and as a remnant of the Uzumaki clan, Nagato naturally mastered this terrifying sealing technique.
Moreover, the four symbol seal used by him is much more powerful.
In an instant, the blood all over Nagato's body turned into pitch-black ink, which continuously erupted from his chest and quickly expanded into a ball, covering the entire inner barrier of the tree.
He wants to take Uchiha Dan to the underworld so that he will never see the sunshine of the world again.
Dan took a few steps back, and soon he was unable to retreat. He saw Nagato's blood rushing toward his face, about to devour him.
Dan's eyes narrowed.
At this time, even if he stops using it and then hits a "serious punch", he may not be able to break the barrier in time and escape from here.
He have to say.
Nagato is a truly ruthless person, and in such a short period of time, he has laid a dead end for Dan.
But.
Since Dan dared to come, he would not be unprepared.
He spread out his left hand, and the eye that had been closed in the palm of his hand finally opened.
That’s Obito’s left eye.
Buzz.
The scarlet kaleidoscope was aimed at Dan himself, releasing a strong pupil power that acted on him.
Dan's tall figure suddenly distorted like a vortex, and his whole person seemed to be sucked in by a spatial vortex.
He disappeared.
The next second.
The black blood flooded the position where Dan was.
"No!"
Nagato let out a desperate and unwilling roar, and together with the entire tree, sank into the dark abyss and fell into the underworld forever.
The leader of the Akatsuki and the god of Amegakure, at this moment, used such a failed method——
The curtain fell on his life.
……
This is a sky that is always dark and gloomy without the sun, stars or moon.
There is no life on the ground, it is full of desolation and death.
Looking around, there are only huge cubes standing tall and emitting a cold luster, piled on top of each other haphazardly, with no meaning.
The Kamui space.
Free from the real world, it is a space formed by the projection of the desperate will in Uchiha Obito's heart.
There was no one in the Kamui space at this time, and Obito seemed not to be at home.
But soon an uninvited guest came.
As a whirlpool-like fluctuation appeared in the space, Dan's body fell from the sky.
"Finally."
Dan glanced at Obito's left eye in his palm, then looked around, confirming that this was the Kamui Space, not the underworld that Nagato wanted to take him to.
Since he asked Tsunade to transplant Obito's left eye to him, Dan has been practicing diligently, and today it came in handy at a critical moment.
The ability of Kamui is indeed unparalleled.
It's no wonder that Obito can cause trouble in the entire ninja world with just one right eye.
But starting from today, with Dan officially getting the "key" to the Kamui Space, Obito's life may not be so easy.
After strolling around for a while, Dan was ready to leave.
There's nothing to do in this place.
But before leaving, he thought for a moment, walked to a cube several meters high, kicked the ground and jumped up.
Chi chi chi chi.
The broken fingertips stimulated chakra, fell on the surface of the cube, and wrote several big characters with flying colors vertically.
"Uchiha Dan was here."
