Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Although he did not awaken, he could not even be considered 'alive'.

However, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is still a life form at the Six Paths level.

Under the control of the Rinnegan, the Gedo Mazo came to life, bracing itself against the ground with its arms and letting out a deep roar.

One after another, purple chakra dragons flew out of the Gedo Mazo's mouth and rushed towards Yagami Yoruichi.

"That's more interesting."

Yagami Yoruichi smiled slightly, and dark red energy enveloped his entire body: "Great Annihilation!"

In an instant, Yagami Yoruichi's appearance changed drastically.

A pair of dark red wings, featherless, with only a thin membrane between the skeletons, are spread out.

Yagami Yoruichi's body is covered with a layer of ferocious black armor that doesn't look like any kind of metal, but rather like it's made of some kind of bone.

A captivating dark red light seeped from the gaps in the armor, emanating an astonishing aura of evil.

It instills endless fear in anyone who just glances at it.

After completing her 'transformation', Yagami Yoruichi swung her giant sword, cutting down all the chakra dragons that rushed towards her. Then, flapping her wings, she flew towards the Gedo Mazo.

"Roar~!"

The Gedo Mazo roared and swung its arms at Yoruichi Yagami.

Although all the chakra was extracted and divided into nine tailed beasts, the Gedo Mazo was now just an empty shell.

But no matter how empty it is, it is still a body of the Six Paths level, and the power it unleashes should not be underestimated.

Yoruichi Yagami did not use any other powers; he only used the power of the Sword Demon to fight against the Gedo Mazo.

The giant sword, capable of easily cleaving mountain peaks, could only leave a small wound a few meters deep when it struck the demonic statue.

Compared to the enormous body of the Outer Path Demon Statue, which is nearly a hundred meters tall even when only half of its body is visible, it is utterly insignificant.

Every collision between the two sides will unleash a terrifying impact.

The shockwave spread far and wide, making the devastating event clearly perceptible even several kilometers away.

"happy!"

Yoruichi Yagami swung her sword repeatedly at the Gedo Mazo.

This exhilarating battle was a first for Yagami Yoruichi since she came to this world.

Because of Yagami Yoruichi's personality, she would endure as much as possible without absolute certainty, until her power was enough to crush her opponent, and then she would crush her opponent instantly with lightning speed, giving the opponent no chance to struggle or resist.

This resulted in almost all of Yagami Yoruichi's battles being one-sided.

Battles that allowed Yagami Yoruichi to even slightly stretch her muscles were almost unheard of.

In fact, if Yoruichi Yagami were to go all out, the Gedo Mazo, having lost its tailed beast chakra, would not be able to hold out for long and would be destroyed by Yoruichi Yagami in a short time.

However, Yagami Yoruichi limited herself to using only a relatively weak system within the Unleashed W system she controlled, which allowed her to fight the Gedo Mazo to a standstill, only gaining a slight advantage.

This allowed Yoruichi Yagami to finally vent her frustrations.

However, without chakra support, the Gedo Mazo, which relies solely on Nagato's chakra to sustain its movements, cannot sustain a prolonged battle.

Within just a few minutes, the movements began to slow down.

When Yagami Yoruichi turned his head, he saw that Nagato's body had become even thinner. His already emaciated appearance had now turned into nothing more than skin and bones.

The life force within him was like a flickering candle in a storm, swaying precariously, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.

"If this keeps going, this guy is going to die."

Yagami Yoru glanced into the distance.

The battle on Tsunade's side was coming to an end.

Aside from Hiruko being spared by Tsunade and Kakuzu surrendering quickly when things went wrong, thus saving his life.

The other S-rank rogue ninjas were either already dead or barely clinging to life and wouldn't last much longer.

"It's about time to wrap things up here."

Yagami Yoruichi made a decision, switched to the Rinnegan, poured Yin-Yang Release chakra into the giant sword, and thrust it into the chest of the Gedo Mazo.

With the enhancement of Yin-Yang Release, the Gedo Mazo, which could have withstood the attack with its tough skin, was easily pierced by Yagami Yoruichi's giant sword.

Then, Yagami Yoruichi raised her left hand, and a golden light flashed from her fingertips.

As the light swept across, the Gedo Mazo and Nagato's black rods were severed.

Yagami Yoruichi used the red tomoe Rinnegan's eye technique to create a fishing rod and 'fish' out Nagato's chakra.

Then, he instantly stepped forward, flicked his fingers, and the two Rinnegan eyes detached from Nagato's eye sockets and fell into Yagami Yoruichi's hand.

"Ah~!"

Nagato let out a scream.

But having lost his chakra and Rinnegan, and with his body already at its limit, he was no longer able to put up any resistance.

"Nagato!"

Konan cried out anxiously, but she too had lost all her chakra and could only lie on the ground, watching Nagato let out painful howls.

Ignoring the two, Yagami Yoruichi activated the power of her Rinnegan and attempted to establish a connection with the Gedo Mazo.

Soon, Yoruichi Yagami sensed the Gedo Mazo and successfully brought it under control.

"So easy?" Yagami Yoruichi was slightly puzzled, but didn't think much of it. She controlled the Gedo Mazo to return to silence and sink into the ground.

There's no need to rush to deal with the demonic statue; just leave it here for now.

It doesn't matter if someone takes it away.

Anyway, with the Rinnegan, I can summon the Gedo Mazo at any time.

Moreover, in this ninja world, apart from myself with the Rinnegan, no one else can touch the Gedo Mazo.

Yagami Yoruichi broke free from his 'Destruction Form', retrieved his Kusanagi sword, and came to Nagato, placing a sealing jutsu on him.

Then, carrying Nagato, she walked up to Konan.

"Don't hurt Nagato..." Konan struggled to sit up and pleaded, "Please, don't kill him!"

"Tsunade has given you a chance to live. Whether you survive or not depends on your performance."

Yagami Yoruichi raised his hand and cast a chakra-sealing spell on Konan as well, then teleported the two of them to a distant battlefield.

The battle has ended here.

Tsunade and her group were guarding Hiruko and Kakuzu. The remaining members of Akatsuki were almost all dead or wounded, leaving only a few ordinary members on the periphery, who were barely clinging to life, trembling amidst the pile of corpses.

"What's going on?" Yagami Yoru glanced at Kakuzu and said, "I don't remember this guy being among the people we were supposed to recruit."

“He surrendered too quickly. I thought it was better to avoid trouble. If the leader doesn’t need him, it doesn’t matter if we kill him.” Kisame Hoshigaki chuckled as he pierced Kakuzu’s body with his greatsword Sharohana, looking at the several hearts inside him wrapped in Earth Grudge Tentacles. He said with a smile, “This secret technique is quite special. It might be worth studying.”

"It's far inferior to my immortality technique." Orochimaru said with a look of disdain through the Second Tsuchikage 'Mu' whom he controlled: "It can only maintain its life by stealing hearts, its strength is locked, and there is no room for improvement. Living like this is just being a walking corpse."

Upon hearing this assessment, Kakuzu's face showed resentment.

But his previous defeat left him unable to refute anything, and he could only angrily lower his head.

“I’ve heard about Kakuzu. His Earth Grudge Fear technique is a bit useless, but his obsession with money is rare in the ninja world. Perhaps it can be useful in this regard.” Yagami Yoruichi said to Kisame Hoshigaki, “Take him back. If he’s willing to work for us, keep him. If not, kill him.”

"Money?" Kakuzu looked up, staring at Yagami Yoruichi with his small green eyes.

At that moment, he felt as if he had found a kindred spirit.

“Hiruko is also willing to join us, but I only believe half of what he says,” Tsunade said to Yoruichi Yagami. “If we want him to stay, we’d better take some measures.”

“Sealing techniques and surveillance are definitely necessary until he gains trust.” Yagami Yoruichi did not shy away from saying to Tsunade in front of Hiruko, “Take him back first. He is quite talented. Arrange a laboratory for him.”

"Go back and tell the Daimyo, I have no chance to interfere in these matters." Tsunade curled her lip, looked at Nagato and Konan being carried by Yagami Yoruichi, noticed Nagato's missing eye sockets, and asked, "What happened to him?"

"Madara's Rinnegan is now in my hands. As for whether to destroy it or keep it for someone else, I haven't decided yet. After all, these eyes belong to Madara, so there might be some problems. I'll have them examined carefully when I get back."

When Yagami Yoruichi said this, she made no attempt to hide it.

Upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi mention the 'Rinnegan', Orochimaru's eyes blazed with intense curiosity and longing.

Nagato, on the other hand, trembled slightly before regaining his composure, as if he had already fainted.

“Madara…” Tsunade clearly remembered the 'story' that Yagami Yoruichi had told her, and frowned, “Does Madara have any other tricks up his sleeve? What if he comes back to life…”

“No.” Yagami Yoruichi said nonchalantly, “Even if he comes back to life, I can easily kill him again, and even destroy his soul.”

"Let's go back first. There are still a lot of things to take care of when we get back."

Yagami Yoruichi changed the subject, handing Nagato and Konan to Tsunade, saying, "By the way, these two are yours. If you can't persuade them, kill them."

Tsunade rolled her eyes, but didn't refuse. She took Nagato and Konan, and even leaned down to whisper a few words in Konan's ear.

Chapter 270 Four Spots

Leaf.

Despite saying he was busy, Yagami Yoruichi actually became a hands-off manager as soon as he returned to Konoha.

They left all the cleanup work to Tsunade and Orochimaru.

Yoruichi Yagami, on the other hand, returned home and played with a pair of eyeballs in his hands.

"Uchiha Madara's eyes, tsk tsk."

As Yagami Yoruichi sensed the power of the two Rinnegan eyes, a sense of curiosity arose in her heart.

I wonder if I can absorb the power of these two Rinnegan?

If one can absorb it, is this part of the eye power considered as something that has been plundered by oneself, or is it the eye power of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, or does it belong to oneself?

However, despite her curiosity, Yagami Yoruichi did not attempt anything recklessly.

Within these two Rinnegan, Yagami Yoruichi detected traces of the cursed seal.

It seems that this was a contingency plan left behind by Madara Uchiha in order to better control Nagato.

Who knows if absorbing this eye power will affect the cursed seal left by Madara Uchiha?

Yoruichi Yagami was very confident in her abilities, but she didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

Most importantly, the eye techniques contained in Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan are not very powerful.

Limbo-Borderlands looks powerful, but in reality, it can only be used to bully weaker opponents.

They can basically kill anyone below the Six Paths level instantly.

However, against a Six Paths level expert, it is not as useful as an ordinary physical clone.

This eye technique is far less powerful than that of Urashiki Otsutsuki, and it is unlikely to arouse Yoruichi Yagami's interest.

"The eye power is somewhat useful, but it's tainted by the cursed seal cast by Yin-Yang Escape. This kind of poisonous eye power is better off not having."

Yagami Yoruichi shook her head and stored the two Rinnegans in a pre-prepared culture medium.

As for how to use these eyes, Yagami Yoruichi hasn't figured it out yet.

However, even if these two Rinnegan were 'poisoned', they are still highly sought-after items in the ninja world, and they certainly cannot be disposed of casually.

Let's give it to Orochimaru to study first, and see if he can find anything of value in it.

While we're at it, let's explore whether we can remove the cursed seal inside without compromising the quality of the Rinnegan.

If the curse mark can be successfully removed, these eyes could create a powerful being who is at least at the Super Shadow level, and even has the potential to cross the threshold of the Six Paths level.

Yoruichi Yagami also has a deep understanding of Yin-Yang Escape.

However, Yagami Yoruichi hasn't dealt with cursed seals much, and it will take some time to study them before she can confirm whether the cursed seals in these two Rinnegan can be removed.

Put away the Rinnegan.

Yagami Yoruichi took out another Sharingan and examined it for a while.

This is Obito Uchiha's Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan.

His abilities are quite good.

However, without the support of Hashirama cells, the depleted eye power cannot be replenished, and one will go blind in no time.

This incredibly powerful eye technique also consumes an astonishing amount of energy, causing blindness to occur much faster than with a regular Mangekyou Sharingan.
