Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 376 Obito: Nagato, you're still alive?!

Outside Yuyin Village.

A spatial vortex suddenly appeared on a thick tree branch, and then Obito's figure appeared there.

"The Rinnegan cannot be lost. I hope it is still in Konan's hands, otherwise it will be troublesome."

Obito looked at Amegakure in the distance and muttered to himself.

Even if Nagato were dead, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to get the Rinnegan back from Konan, because he knew that Konan would definitely take Nagato's body away and protect it, and the Rinnegan would be even more impossible to lose.

But who could blame him when Nagato saw Jiraiya before he died? If Nagato had completely betrayed him, the Rinnegan might have ended up in Jiraiya's hands.

That's why he rushed to Amegakure in such a hurry, wanting to know if the Rinnegan was still in Nagato's body.

If it still exists, he can just take it back.

If he's not there... then his plans will have to be adjusted a lot.

Swish! !

After muttering something to himself, Obito activated Kamui again, sucking himself into another dimension.

A gentle breeze swept by, carrying a fallen leaf that drifted past the spot where Obito had just stood, as if no one had ever been there at all.

In the Hidden Rain Village.

Xiao Nan stood on the outer platform of a steel building, her amber eyes gazing absently into the distance.

Before her eyes, all sorts of steel buildings were scattered in a well-organized manner, creating a unique aesthetic.

The village, which is usually rainy, was unusually sunny this time, with dappled sunlight filtering through the clouds and shining on the tops of the steel buildings, making them glitter.

What will become of Amegakure in the future...? She pondered absently.

But suddenly, her somewhat dazed pupils focused instantly, becoming alert and sharp.

Before her eyes, Obito's figure emerged from the vortex, standing calmly in place, his cold, emotionless eyes looking at her through his mask.

"So you've been here, Konan," Obito said softly.

He first went to the outpost where Nagato and Konan usually stayed, but found it empty and Nagato's body was nowhere to be found. So he searched other places and found Konan alone there.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Nan said coldly.

"We were once comrades, so why do you dislike me so much?" Obito said flippantly.

But Xiao Nan remained unmoved, simply looking at him indifferently.

"Heh, alright, I won't waste my breath on you anymore. I'm here today to take the Rinnegan. It should still be with Nagato, right?" Obito lost his patience, tearing off his disguise and speaking bluntly, his eyes fixed on Konan at the same time.

"The Rinnegan is naturally in Nagato's possession, but what right do you have to take it?" Konan said coldly.

Having said that, his body transformed into a flock of fluttering white papers and flew away into the distance.

Upon hearing this, Obito felt a weight lifted from his shoulders and was instantly relieved.

With the Rinnegan still in Nagato's possession, things become much simpler. He doesn't need to make a trip to Konoha for this; he can simply retrieve the Rinnegan from Nagato, and the previous plan can continue.

Thinking of this, he felt much better, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he looked in the direction Xiao Nan had left.

With divine power activated, he vanished from his spot.

Before long, he appeared on a reef in the turbulent sea. This was the inner sea adjacent to Amegakure Village. Due to the year-round rain in the Land of Rain, this environment was formed.

On another reef not far from him, Xiao Nan was already waiting.

"I knew you'd come for the Rinnegan. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Today, I'm going to kill you right here." Konan's tone became even colder.

Obito didn't seem to care and chuckled in a low voice: "I really don't understand why you would betray me. If Nagato had died in battle, then everything would be normal. But he died because he used the Rinne Rebirth Technique, a ninjutsu that was supposed to be used on me, but he used it on someone else."

And now, you actually want to kill me? Don't you want to realize Project Eye of the Moon and fulfill our shared ideal of peace?

He spoke casually, seemingly not taking Xiao Nan's threat to heart at all.

In fact, he knew that Xiao Nan must have made ample preparations, but he still did not take Xiao Nan seriously because he believed that he could easily kill her with his own strength.

But: ...At that very moment, an unexpected voice suddenly rang out.

"I'll answer that question for you."

Obito's pupils contracted instantly, and he turned his head sharply to find a figure descending from the sky and landing on another reef, forming a triangular opposition between him and Konan.

"Nagato!??"

Obito's pupils dilated violently as he stared in disbelief at the figure that had appeared before him.

"You, how could you still be alive?!"

His previously composed demeanor instantly wavered, as events had spiraled completely out of his control!

Nagato clearly died from activating the Samsara Rebirth Technique, so how could he possibly appear before him!

Moreover, this was Nagato at his peak, in good physical condition, without having had too much chakra absorbed by the Gedo Mazo and becoming emaciated. "You're surprised, aren't you?"

Nagato landed on the rocks, his black coat with red clouds fluttering in the strong wind, and looked at Obito with a cold expression.

Obito's expression, hidden beneath his mask, shifted between light and shadow, as countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

The Uzumaki family's healing abilities?

Does he have the same immortal physique?

No! If the former were truly that powerful, Nagato wouldn't have been like that before, and the latter... Nagato wasn't that powerful at all!

Even if it were possible, it would be absolutely impossible for someone to survive and recover the chakra and life force that was previously extracted by the Gedo Mazo!

So what exactly happened?

Suddenly, he remembered something Zetsu had told him a while ago: Jiraiya had been revived by someone using some strange thing when there was no way he could have come back to life.

And this person is none other than Son Goku, who now lives in Konoha!

On the day Nagato attacked Konoha, it was he who defeated Nagato, and ultimately met Nagato's last moments with Jiraiya and Naruto. Could it be...? At this moment, Obito seemed to have realized something, and asked with a grim expression, "Was it that brat named Son Goku who saved you?"

Nagato was not surprised by his question.

"You're right, he saved me, saved a sinful person like me who shouldn't have been able to continue living in this world."

"Sin?" Obito narrowed his eyes.

"It seems you have completely betrayed our ideals and thrown yourself into the arms of those fools."

"No, you're wrong. Our ideals have never aligned. I pursue genuine peace, while you pursue a false peace. We've never been on the same path. All these years, I've merely pretended to cooperate with you," Nagato said coldly.

"Now, I realize that pursuing true peace may not require such extreme methods. There may be another gentle way to achieve it. I place my hopes on Naruto Uzumaki."

"Is that so? Although I've always felt that you had some different thoughts in your heart, I've always fantasized that one day you would truly accept my ideas. Now it seems that I was just being wishful," Obito said coldly.

"But I really can't believe you'd be swayed by a naive and foolish brat. What is it about him that's worth changing your mind about?"

"He has a shadow of my past in him, and an even stronger belief than mine." Nagato's vision blurred slightly, as if Naruto's unwavering gaze, unshakable by anything, appeared before him.

"Is that so...?"

As Obito spoke, his figure suddenly began to blur, clearly indicating that he was activating his Kamui ability and preparing to be sucked into the Kamui dimension.

No one knew better than him how terrifying Nagato's strength was in his prime. Although he was very proud of himself, he didn't have much confidence in defeating Nagato in this state. Moreover, he was not only dealing with Nagato, but also with Konan, who was not weak either.

Furthermore... the other party was clearly waiting here for him to jump into the door. He would never believe that there wasn't some kind of trap set for him.

Since that's the case, the best course of action now is to leave and wait until he's fully prepared before taking back his Rinnegan from Nagato.

But... would it be so easy for him to leave? Nagato faked his death and set this trap so that he could kill him here in one fell swoop.

Whoosh!!

Just as Obito was about to be completely sucked into the Kamui dimension, several explosive tags drifted down onto his legs, which had not yet entered the Kamui dimension.

"Today, this will be your burial ground," Xiao Nan said coldly.

At the same time, the explosive tag exploded instantly!

Boom boom boom!!!

As the explosion rang out, Obito's blurry figure became clear again, because he had to give up on sucking himself into the Kamui dimension and instead activate his Hollowfication ability to avoid getting hurt.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!"

Just as Obito had dodged Konan's explosive tag attack and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath, Nagato's attack arrived.

A barrage of Wind Release chakra bullets pierced through Obito's body like machine gun fire, relentlessly striking and sending chills down one's spine.

"We've already explored your abilities quite thoroughly. To enter another dimension, your body must materialize, and that takes a considerable amount of time. However, your ability to allow matter to pass through your body only lasts about five minutes."

Nagato was unable to speak as he was spitting bullets, so Konan acted as his narrator.

At the same time, she was ready. The moment Nagato's attack ended, her explosive tags were once again attached to Obito's body and detonated!

The two had planned ahead to kill Obito in one fell swoop through this airtight, uninterrupted continuous attack!

"Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!"

After Konan finished using her explosive tags, Nagato, having completed his hand seals, unleashed another attack.

He was proficient in all six types of chakra nature ninjutsu, but rarely used them after acquiring the Rinnegan.

Now that his chakra is fully utilized, he can unleash B-rank ninjutsu like Vacuum Ball dozens of times in a row without getting tired.

With the two working together, Obito remained trapped in a Hollowfied state, unable to even make a move.

Explosions and the sound of vacuum orbs tearing through the air rang out one after another. Obito was like prey caught in a spider web, only able to watch his death approach step by step, unable to put up any resistance.

Finally... five minutes have passed.

When Nagato fired the Vacuum Ball again, the Wind Release chakra bullet, powerful enough to pierce concrete, no longer passed right through Obito's body. Instead, it struck Obito's physical body with a series of thuds, causing spectacular bursts of blood to erupt.

"His ability has failed!"

Konan's eyes lit up, and she increased her chakra output without hesitation.

"The Technique of the God of Paper!"

In that instant, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the sea beneath Obito's feet. As Obito plummeted downwards, hundreds of thousands of explosive tags flew out from all around, instantly engulfing him.

Immediately, a deafening explosion rang out, and hundreds of thousands of explosive talismans detonated simultaneously, instantly forming a giant fireball that evaporated the surrounding real seawater into a large amount of steam.

The fireball burned for a full five seconds, thick black smoke rose up, and wave after wave of air burst forth, causing Konan and Nagato's Akatsuki coats to flutter loudly.

"He should be dead now."

Konan approached Nagato, her breathing slightly uneven. Controlling so many explosive tags to detonate simultaneously was no easy feat for her.

The reason she used so many explosive tags to blow up Obito was to kill him completely, leaving him no chance to survive.

After all, under those circumstances, it's hard to say whether Obito would have fought desperately, even at the risk of serious injury, to teleport himself to the Kamui dimension.

If that happens, their plan will have failed, because they cannot guarantee that Obito, who is seriously injured, will have any chance of surviving.

"There's no doubt that his ability failed; he couldn't possibly have survived such an attack."

Nagato was breathing heavily. He had released the Vacuum Ball over a hundred times in a row, and even though he had plenty of chakra, he was still a little tired.

As the sea receded, the black smoke gradually dissipated, and Obito naturally disappeared without a trace.

Nagato summoned the Six Paths of Pain to search the sea, and they eventually found a severed arm, a charred leg, and half of a charred body whose original appearance was no longer recognizable.

"Now it's confirmed, whether this guy is Uchiha Madara or not, he's definitely dead."

Nagato and Konan exchanged a glance, their faces showing relief.

With Madara Uchiha dead, the ninja world is now free of future troubles. Whether or not we can achieve final peace depends on Naruto.

Inside the leaf.

After listening to Naruto's story, Goku's brows were already deeply furrowed.

"Your friend did something wrong. If he wants revenge, fine, but why did he have to help the bad guys arrest innocent people?"

Naruto gave a wry smile: "You're right, Sasuke did make a mistake in this matter. I... I don't know what he's thinking now."

"How about I go find him for you and save that innocent person while I'm at it?" Wukong asked earnestly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Goku, but this is something I must do." Naruto stood up, took a deep breath, and his eyes hardened.

"Whether Sasuke still considers me his comrade or not, I've always regarded him as one of my best comrades. He made a mistake, and as his comrade, it's my responsibility to help him atone for it! I will definitely find him!"
