Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 304 You've Already Lost

The Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue stood like an insurmountable barrier in front of Konoha Village.

For the first time, Pain felt utterly helpless.

He has exhausted all his methods and has no other options left.

On the main body side, after unleashing the Super Shinra Tensei, he was also injured.

Although Konan had already suggested leaving, Nagato refused.

He held on to the last vestige of his dignity.

Moreover, Pain is Yahiko's corpse, so he couldn't possibly abandon him.

Just then, he suddenly remembered something.

"Uchiha Madara".

Pain spoke up, "Now is the time for you to show your true strength."

He knew about the legendary battle between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, which was said to be a close contest.

Obito Uchiha had always been extremely arrogant.

Previously, Pain, due to the confidence brought by his Rinnegan, did not pay attention.

Now that his confidence had been shattered, he thought of Obito Uchiha.

Natsume's Wood Release technique is almost identical to the legends surrounding Hashirama Senju.

That means Madara Uchiha's strength should not be underestimated.

"...?"

Obito Uchiha was dumbfounded.

You didn't believe it before, but you believe it now?

But is it useful?

Isn't this just grasping at straws when you're desperate?

After a moment of silence, Obito Uchiha shouted, "Zetsu!"

He had dealt with Natsume many times and knew that he couldn't defeat him on his own.

We can only turn to Black Zetsu for help.

But what emerged from the ground were White Zetsu.

He stood close to Pain and knocked him unconscious.

"What are you doing?"

Kakuzu's expression immediately darkened, and he asked.

"Black Zetsu went to Nagato's place."

White Zetsu ignored Kakuzu and spoke to Obito Uchiha.

He paused for a moment upon hearing this, then immediately understood what he meant.

The goal is to control Nagato.

The reason I knocked Pain unconscious was because I didn't want him to know.

But I have to thank Natsume for that.

It would have been almost impossible if he hadn't exhausted the power of the Six Paths of Pain.

They didn't hide their conversation from Kakuzu and Natsume.

Because they thought they wouldn't know what they were saying.

However, Natsume truly understood.

Black Zetsu possesses the ability to merge minds.

In the original work, this was used on Obito Uchiha, directly controlling his body and then reviving Madara Uchiha.

At that time, Obito Uchiha was already the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. Although he was seriously injured, it still demonstrated Black Zetsu's domineering nature.

Nagato is even worse now.

Even with Xiao Nan around, there is indeed a high chance of success if they take it by surprise.

"They'll be given to you."

Natsume put away the Thousand-Armed Kannon statue and, relying on his Sage Mode's amazing perception, instantly sensed Nagato's location.

He vanished in a flash.

Obito Uchiha didn't even have time to stop it.

He was stunned for a moment, then recognized the Flying Thunder God Technique.

This is his teacher Minato Namikaze's signature ninjutsu.

They come without a trace and go without a trace.

Even if he possesses Kamui, he still suffered losses at the hands of Minato Namikaze.

With the Flying Thunder God Technique, Natsume was already in an invincible position.

"Walk!"

Obito Uchiha grabbed Kakuzu and instantly became intangible.

Natsume will definitely go to find Nagato.

We absolutely must not let him obtain the Rinnegan.

Otherwise, all the plans would have been in vain.

Obito Uchiha is feeling extremely frustrated right now.

The Akatsuki organization had been preparing for so many years, thinking that after leaving the mountain, they would be able to capture the nine tailed beasts and then launch the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

But unexpectedly, it was cut short halfway through.

It was such a waste of time.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

If we don't preserve the Rinnegan, we won't even have a chance to turn the tide.

Just as he was about to disappear, he saw the unremarkable female ninja behind Natsume raise her hand.

Then space solidified, and the divine power dissipated.

He and Kakuzu landed on the ground again.

"What happened?"

Kakuzu looked at him, puzzled.

He knew about the effects of the divine power.

But what's with you giving up halfway through?

Obito Uchiha did not answer his question, but stared intently at Kaguya Otsutsuki.

There are only three people here.

The only one who could possibly interfere with his divine power is her.

But how is that possible?

Just raising a hand?

Is his Kamui really that weak?

Obito Uchiha frowned and suddenly attacked.

Wood Release: Wood Splinter Technique!

Countless sharp branches sprouted from his right arm, spreading out instantly like spears, all aimed at Kaguya Otsutsuki.

But as soon as they reached it, all the branches immediately crumbled.

Obito Uchiha felt an unimaginable sense of crisis.

He immediately broke off the branch and quickly backed away.

Kakuzu also realized that something was wrong.

This is a master.

But why does it feel so unfamiliar?

"Who are you?"

Obito Uchiha asked with surprise and uncertainty behind his mask.

Natsume Tsuyoshi, he can understand.

Where did this guy come from?

Kaguya Otsutsuki had no interest in answering her question.

She was thinking about Natsume's order.

Should we kill them?

Or should we capture them?

She thought about it and concluded that it should be the latter.

After all, if Natsume really wanted to kill them, he could have already used his full power earlier.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's silence made Obito Uchiha and Kakuzu's expressions somewhat unpleasant.

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously unleashed their ninjutsu.

Lightning Release: False Darkness!

A mask appeared on Kakuzu's shoulder.

When it opens its mouth, dazzling lightning flashes.

Fire Release: Explosive Wind Dance!

Obito Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan trembled violently.

The space around Kaguya Otsutsuki twisted and rotated.

He leaned back and immediately spat out flames.

The flames combined with divine power, and instantly the sky was covered with flying fire serpents.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's forehead split open, revealing the Rinne Sharingan.

Obito Uchiha's eyes widened suddenly.

What is this?

next moment.

Countless fists rained down on him.

"Aaaaaah!"

Obito Uchiha's body was almost falling apart, and blood was gushing out everywhere.

Kakuzu's four hearts exploded simultaneously, leaving only his original heart.

This was only because Kaguya Otsutsuki showed mercy.

White Zetsu froze on the spot, his body trembling.

He felt a long-lost fear.

at the same time.

Natsume arrived at Nagato's hiding place.

Black Zetsu has already arrived.

But he hadn't had a chance to make a move yet.

"Nice to meet you."

Natsume walked up slowly, greeted him, and said, "I am Natsume."

"Nagato".

Nagato remained silent for a moment before revealing his real name.

Black Zetsu stared at him, eager to kill him.

But there's no way to do it for the time being.

His only skill is to play dirty tricks.

This is quite troublesome.

While the two were chatting, he quietly retreated and gradually approached Nagato.

"I remember Jiraiya had three disciples."

Natsume glanced at Konan, then at the emaciated Nagato, and asked, "It must be you guys, right?"

"Yes."

Nagato nodded and said.

"So, in that sense, we're practically fellow disciples."

Natsume chuckled and said, "You've already lost. Let's end it here."

"No, I haven't."

Nagato gritted his teeth and said.

He can also summon the Goblin Statue.

But given his current physical condition, summoning it would probably cost him half his life.

Just then, Black Zetsu suddenly raised his hand, and a beam of black light shot towards Nagato.
