Chapter 136 The Villain's Confusion
Chapter 136 The Villain's Confusion
After the Nine-Tails' will completely returned to Naruto's body, coupled with the Sage Mode taught by Jiraiya, Naruto's strength was no longer what it used to be.
Moreover, with Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kakashi, and others holding back the other puppets besides Pain, even Pain couldn't defeat Naruto for the time being.
The longer they wait, the more information Konoha will gather about the Six Paths of Pain. Moreover, controlling all six paths simultaneously puts a lot of pressure on Nagato's main body.
Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in Pain's eyes.
The remaining puppets that were fighting suddenly stopped and then fell straight down, all their chakra gathering into Pain.
"Pain!"
Konan, realizing what Pain was about to do, couldn't help but shout out, but she couldn't change Nagato's mind.
A small black ball appeared from Pain's palm and rose continuously. The next moment, countless rocks and trees were continuously attracted by the powerful gravity emitted by the ball, and Naruto, who was closest to Pain, was the first to be sucked in.
"Naruto!" The Konoha members were shocked and tried to pull Naruto back, but they were too busy protecting themselves to do so.
"Planetary Devastation!"
As Pain roared, countless pebbles coalesced into a giant sphere that floated in the air, like the most powerful seal, trapping Naruto inside.
Everyone was shocked to see the huge stone sphere floating in the air. Even Mebis and Augustus had undisguised shock in their eyes.
Could human power really achieve something like this?!
Pain, who unleashed this move, was being supported by Konan, clearly indicating that this move was an immense burden for him.
Konan didn't understand why Pain was pushing his body to the limit like this. Moreover, Konoha hadn't even suffered a devastating blow that was impossible to retaliate against because of Mavis's intervention. All she could do at the moment was to protect Pain vigilantly.
Seeing that the Nine-Tails had been trapped by Planetary Devastation, Obito, who had been spying from the sidelines, stopped hiding and appeared out of thin air from the Kamui dimension.
He's a member of the Akatsuki organization who knows space-time ninjutsu!
Kakashi and the others immediately recognized the guy who had suddenly appeared as the mysterious masked man who had taken half of the Three-Tails from August last time.
August also looked coldly at Obito who had suddenly appeared.
"Oh my, as expected of the leader, you were able to trap even the most powerful Nine-Tails. That's quite unexpected—" His tone, which had been deliberately comical, suddenly changed to a deep and hoarse one: "Yeah, right. Well done, Nagato."
Jiraiya, who had already recognized Pain as Nagato, couldn't help but glance at Nagato.
Nagato is the leader of the Akatsuki organization and has the same Rinnegan as the Sage of Six Paths. How could this masked guy speak to Nagato in such a tone?
The original plan to proceed gradually has been greatly disrupted by the appearance of Zeref and Mavis, so Obito simply pushed everything to the forefront.
This coincides with Madara Uchiha's plan, which just goes to show that the Uchiha clans share some similarities in personality.
Nagato, who still didn't know Obito's true identity, glanced at Mavis and August, then said to the Konoha people with a hint of sarcasm, "How ironic that the ones who want to destroy Konoha now are the very ninjas who once founded the village!"
The series of events unfolded like dominoes. Since Nagato had personally attacked Konoha, he was also prepared to expose the Akatsuki's plans. He said coldly, "Uchiha Madara, aren't you going to say hello to your juniors?"
Madara? Uchiha Madara?!
Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the others stared in shock at the masked man, especially Tsunade. How could Madara Uchiha still be alive?!
You should know that Madara Uchiha was a ninja from the same era as his grandfather!
But why is she wearing a mask? And why is her hair shorter? A hint of doubt flashed in Tsunade's eyes.
Madara Uchiha, who was summoned on the day of the Konoha Crush, is more in line with the image of the statue at the Valley of the End.
It's different for Obito to want to reveal his identity than for Nagato to expose it; Obito's face, hidden behind the mask, was slightly cold.
Amidst the incredulous gazes of the Konoha villagers, Obito effortlessly adopted Madara Uchiha's tone: "That's right, I am Madara Uchiha!"
After saying that, Obito deliberately showed his scarlet Sharingan through the hole in his mask and looked at Tsunade, saying, "Back then, in the battle at the Valley of the End, everyone thought that Hashirama Senju had won, but in the end, the one who won and survived was me!"
These words made Tsunade clench her teeth.
Just as the people of Konoha were half-believing and half-doubting the masked man's words, the Chibaku Tensei floating in the air suddenly made a commotion.
A few pebbles suddenly fell, followed by more and more pebbles falling continuously. A huge, crimson tail broke free from the interior of the Earth Explosion Star, and soon, another crimson tail pierced through.
To Nagato and Konan's disbelief, the almost solid Nine-Tails' body broke free from Chibaku Tensei and let out a huge roar.
"Is this the most powerful Nine-Tails...?" Obito murmured, his gaze complex. It had even managed to break free from the Planetary Devastation technique!
The Nine-Tails, now free, gleamed with ferocity and unleashed a Tailed Beast Ball towards Obito and Nagato without hesitation.
The incredibly powerful Tailed Beast Ball leveled everything in its path until it crashed into a distant mountain peak, creating a deafening explosion.
When Obito, Nagato, and Konan dodged the attack and looked over, the Nine-Tails' form gradually began to shrink, and finally, Naruto, covered in wounds, was revealed.
In order to break free from the constraints of Chibaku Tensei, Kurama almost completely broke through the seal inside Naruto's body, releasing its own body from Naruto's body.
However, this also put a considerable burden on Naruto's body, so even though Kurama wanted to continue bombarding with Tailed Beast Balls, it could only reluctantly return to Naruto's body.
Seeing that the Nine-Tails had escaped, Konan's expression changed, and she flew away into the distance with Pain without hesitation, while Naruto chased after them without hesitation.
"Naruto!"
Seeing Naruto chase after him, Kakashi hurriedly followed, but was blocked by Obito's merciless attack.
The next moment, the overwhelming fire jutsu completely blocked the footsteps of the Konoha people. After the fire jutsu subsided, Pain, Konan, and Naruto had already disappeared.
“Should I chase after them, Mother?” August asked softly.
Mavis's eyes flickered slightly, and then she said with some relief, "No need, August. I believe in Naruto. And although I couldn't change Nagato's mind, I have a feeling that maybe Naruto can do what I can't."
The fact that Mavis and Augustus remained in place made Obito feel slightly relieved. After entangled with the Konoha people for a long time, he deduced that Nagato should have escaped, so Obito fled without hesitation.
In his mind, facing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who was powerful but inexperienced and reckless, Nagato would either use his own power to capture the Nine-Tails, or at the very least, escape.
However, things took an unexpected turn.
When he arrived at Nagato's side faster than everyone else, thanks to the convenience of the Kamui space, he heard Nagato sigh.
"Naruto, perhaps you are the chosen one that Jiraiya has been searching for all along. Take my Rinnegan and let this power help you and bring peace to this ninja world."
To buy time for Nagato, Obito, who had just arrived but was completely bewildered by what had happened, was like: ? ? ?
After sealing the Eight-Tails, Black Zetsu and Madara, who arrived around the same time as Obito, were like: ...What the heck??
