Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

In a corner of the reception room, a gigantic "Foolish Demon General" enveloped Obito and Black Zetsu in its "Foolish Aura," while the two remained completely unaware of it.

Loran had already tested Obito's Sharingan with the Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan he had stolen from Kakashi. He was certain that Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan could not see the Three Demons, and that Black Zetsu, as a special life form, could not see the Three Demons either. This gave Loran the opportunity to scheme against Obito and Black Zetsu.

The "Aura of Ignorance" is not omnipotent. It may confuse people's cognition to a certain extent and reduce their reaction to the outside world, but this is just an imitation of the "protagonist aura" of the protagonists in the city of Loran - the Three Poisons Canopy.

However, as long as one's will is strong enough and one is rational enough, one can be exempted from this, or one can overcome the dehumanizing effect of the "foolish halo" when faced with a life-or-death situation.

Was Obito a person of unwavering will? Loran didn't think so. In his view, Obito was more like a person with "deep obsessions".

The outward manifestations of "firm will" and "deep obsession" are quite similar, and they can be enough to drive people forward, enabling them to endure suffering and torment and move towards their goals.

Deep obsession and unwavering will are not absolute opposites; the core difference lies in the balance between rationality and emotion, and the adjustability of actions.

People with strong obsessions lack rationality, refuse to face reality, cannot accept failure, are prone to internal friction, and exhibit simplistic and extreme behavioral patterns.

Obito is such a person. In Loran's view, his eventual redemption was nothing more than a reconstruction of values ​​after the collapse of his obsession, a reverse identification triggered by intense self-denial. This is quite common in reality; for example, this phenomenon can be seen in some groups of people who are obsessed with self-deception.

Therefore, Obito was actually quite susceptible to the influence of the Demon of Ignorance.

"If I can stall for five to ten minutes, that will be enough to achieve my goal." Loran was hiding in another building, secretly sensing the situation in the meeting room.

As time passed, Obito began to grow impatient, just as he was about to take action.

Loran pushed open the door and walked in. Obito reacted a beat too late. He should have sensed something was wrong, but at this moment, an unnamed anger swept over him.

The anger of being treated coldly and belittled by Loran, the anger of being schemed against by Loran in Konoha, the anger of being beaten by Minato Namikaze despite thinking he was strong enough—these angers that should have been suppressed by reason suddenly erupted, causing Obito to subconsciously ignore what was wrong.

If he still had enough rationality, he should have realized that Loran's chakra reaction suddenly appeared outside the door.

Behind Loran, the three-headed Wrathful Demon General hooked his slender fingers, igniting the hidden anger in Obito's heart.

"Nagato, you must give me an explanation." Obito's voice seemed calm as always, but anyone could hear the overwhelming rage building up in his tone.

"What do I need to explain? Shouldn't some of those hiding behind the scenes give me an explanation? It involves the Nine-Tails, such a big matter, and you didn't even inform your ally?" Loran's tone was calm.

Upon hearing this, Obito's anger intensified. This tone, as if everything was his fault, was infuriating. She was merely a vessel chosen by Madara Uchiha to nurture the Rinnegan. How dare a pawn speak to him, the one who controlled the game, like that?

The three poisons (anger, irritability, and greed) are mutually reinforcing. Anger destroys reason, allowing ignorance to invade. Ignorance also damages the mind, making one increasingly irritable and lacking in self-control.

First came the Foolish Demon, then the Wrathful Demon. Obito's rational defenses began to crumble, and he was just one step away from being kicked in the final blow.

"I heard you're wanted by Konoha for 850 million ryo, and now all the bounty hunters in the ninja world are after your head." Loran's tone was somewhat sarcastic. "Someone did something really big, but after failing to steal a chicken, they dare to question me?"

"Oh, by the way, you're a user of space-time jutsu, and I've heard that the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze, possesses the unparalleled space-time ninjutsu—Flying Thunder God Technique. Did you fail this time because you were outmatched and got a beating from Minato?"

"Oh...!" Loran feigned sudden realization. "You're not taking your anger out on me for this, are you? Blaming others for the consequences of your own incompetence, that's all you're good for."

"You're in such a hurry to deal with Konoha, is Konoha also within your scope of venting your anger?"

Hearing Loran's barrage of scathing words, Obito's last shred of reason snapped.

Did I take my anger out on Konoha? Was my incompetence the cause of this disaster?

Rin died because of my incompetence? I was just taking revenge on Konoha out of anger?

Bullshit! It was this rotten world that caused Rin's death. What do you, a mere pawn, know? How dare you insult my noble ideals, Obito?

We have to teach them a lesson, otherwise even if we can reach a cooperation agreement, we will inevitably be subordinate to them, and then it will be questionable whether the Eye of the Moon Project can still be controlled by them.

Obito, filled with rage, attacked, immediately unleashing the ninjutsu he possessed, the one most suitable for close-range bursts of power.

"Wooden Release·The Art of Cutting."

Obito stretched out his right hand, and numerous long wooden thorns rapidly grew out, piercing through clothing and attacking Loran like green venomous snakes.

This ninjutsu was almost instinctive for Obito. It required no hand seals; the wooden spikes would continue to branch and grow after piercing the enemy's body, piercing through the enemy's body from the inside, making it extremely cruel.

Black Zetsu seems to be more susceptible to the influence of the Foolish Demon; its reaction was a beat slower, and it only came to its senses when it saw Obito make his move.

"Obito, calm down!" Black Zetsu shouted.

Obito ignored all advice; his eardrums had been "destroyed" by his rage. He was now deaf to any advice and only wanted to teach this foul-mouthed red-haired brat a lesson.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

Loran simply made a calm announcement.

The terrifying repulsive force, controlled by Loran's powerful manipulation, transformed from a seamless, spherical diffusion into a concentrated forward motion, utterly crushing Obito's swarm of green snakes. Then, Loran began to gather the remaining power, unleashing it in one direction—a powerful air cannon aimed at Obito's upper body.

Obito scoffed. What was Shinra Tensei compared to his invincible Kamui?

Just as he was preparing to blur his upper body to dodge Nagato's air cannon, something unexpected happened.

With a scream, Obito's body was severed at the waist, the cut being extremely smooth and clean.

He was cut in half at the waist.

Obito was puzzled, but having White Zetsu cells made him extremely resilient.

He was cut in half, but he still had a breath left.

Izanagi, activate!

The Uchiha clan's ancestral cheating ninjutsu lived up to expectations, instantly reversing reality and illusion, turning the unfavorable factor of Obito being cut in half at the waist into a dream, and Obito was gloriously resurrected.

The immense fear between life and death jolted Obito awake from the influence of the Demon of Ignorance and the Demon of Wrath, and he began to regain his reason.

When Obito realized that his most powerful technique, Kamui, was inexplicably malfunctioning against Loran, he began to consider retreating.

He has a normal human form, unlike Danzo who was a monster who transplanted Sharingan into one hand. The three-tomoe Sharingan he used to activate Izanagi was Madara Uchiha's remaining possession; to continue activating Izanagi, he would have to sacrifice his own Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan.

Chapter 30 Naruto: Obito's Gold Coins

With a "rip," the glass shattered, and Obito and Black Zetsu crashed through the window, fleeing into the rain.

"Damn it!" Obito cursed under his breath. He never imagined that anyone in this world could push him to the brink of death.

The reason he prepared a three-tomoe gem was just to be on the safe side. Obito was confident that with Kamui, White Zetsu cells, and one Izanagi attack, his survival ability was maxed out. How could there possibly be a problem?

For an Uchiha, using Izanagi even once in their lifetime is already a rare privilege.

Izanagi is a forbidden technique because of its terrible price. The three-tomoe jade is the symbol of a Jonin of the Uchiha clan. Not everyone is like Danzo, who throws away his Jonin-level trump card and life-saving technique like candy.

Therefore, he didn't have any extra three-tomoe gems on him. Three-tomoe gems are very precious and are carefully preserved in his base.

As Obito fled, a burly figure, two and a half meters tall, emerged from the rain.

Those purplish-blue wavy eyes proved that the other party was indeed the Six Paths Puppet created by Loran—the Asura Path.

The heavy rain continued incessantly, and the roar of chainsaws echoed through the cold rain curtain.

Asura Dao raised his right hand, which had transformed into a ferocious chainsaw sword. Each serration resembled a monster's fangs, emitting a ghostly blue light. This terrifying weapon was enough to cripple a person with a single blow.

Lightning Release chakra clung to the greatsword, wrapping around every serrated edge, adding to the sharpness of this deadly weapon.

The Asura Path wielded the lightning greatsword, slashing towards Obito with fierce momentum.

As was his usual practice, Obito should have used Kamui to intangify himself at this time, and then take the opportunity to launch a defensive counterattack. This move had always worked for him.

However, the scene of being inexplicably cut in half at the waist when he activated Kamui in the reception room still bothered him. To be on the safe side, Obito decided to avoid it with taijutsu.

Obito's taijutsu wasn't particularly outstanding; he only reached the level of a Jonin due to his solid foundation. He was far from having the taijutsu that Madara Uchiha had honed through countless battles.

It was this moment of hesitation that allowed the other six puppets to surround Obito, cutting off all his escape routes.

"Clap, clap."

Loran, holding an umbrella, walked slowly toward Obito.

Looking at Loran, who showed no murderous intent whatsoever, Obito was somewhat puzzled.

"Nagato, why? Weren't we cooperating quite well before? Why did it have to come to this?" Obito began his verbal assault.

“If you’re angry because of my previous unauthorized actions, I apologize. It wasn’t my intention to attack you; I was simply enraged by the despicable Konoha and acted impulsively. I apologize again.” Seeing that Loran remained unmoved, Obito began to soften his stance. “We have a grander plan to pursue, and you can’t do without my power, can you?”

"So, can we reconcile this time?"

"Call me Loran," Loran said with a smile.

"What!" Obito didn't react in time.

"I'm not called Nagato anymore, I'm called Loran."

This sentence caused Obito's brain to freeze a bit; he didn't quite understand what Loran meant.

The main reason is that the Rinnegan and the Uzumaki bloodline cannot be faked. Before Orochimaru invented the Reanimation Jutsu, there was no concept of possession in the ninja world. Therefore, Obito was slow to realize that Nagato's core had already been replaced.

"Attack!" Loran gave the order, and the six puppets attacked Obito.

Without Kamui, Obito's true strength was only that of an elite Jonin. Facing the Six Paths Puppet, which was capable of slaughtering Kage-level ninjas, Obito became extremely embarrassed.

Finally, facing the Earth Grudge Fear, which was launched from underground by the Hell Path, Obito, unable to dodge, chose to use Kamui Hollowfication.

As Kamui was activated, Obito's right calf was severed at the root, which was the part he was preparing to Hollowen from.

Ignoring the bloodied calf that had fallen into the rain, the Earth Grudge Fear followed the attack, burrowing into Obito's flesh along the wound on his right leg.

The Earth Grudge Fear quickly took root in Obito's body, forcing Obito to sever his right thigh to prevent further invasion.

Just as he was entangled with the Hell Path, the attacks from the Asura Path and the Hungry Ghost Path arrived in an instant.

A streak of azure lightning and a streak of gray sword light flashed, and Obito's arms were severed.

The loss of his hands and one leg left Obito completely unable to move or fight back. The pain caused him to become stiff. Pain rushed straight at Obito, preparing to reach out and dig out his Mangekyou Sharingan.

At that moment, in a dark corner of the rain, Black Zetsu suddenly pounced out, heading straight for Loran, who seemed to have lost his guard because he was confident of victory.

Black Zetsu had been lying in wait, anticipating its opportunity to strike. Now it planned to seize control of Loran's body, thereby halting the Six Paths Puppet's actions and creating a chance for Obito to escape.

Lorraine's smile widened, transforming into the ecstasy of victory.

The prey has taken the bait!

Loran deftly opened the umbrella he was holding behind him, aiming the inside of the umbrella at the approaching Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu's inorganic eyes widened wildly in shock and rage.

Damn it! That little brat Nagato is coming for me; the umbrella he's pointing at is covered in sealing techniques.

As a unique creation of Yin-Yang Release, Black Zetsu is not afraid of any ninjutsu except sealing techniques.

Black Zetsu frantically tried to stop, but Loran didn't give him the chance. He scooped up the umbrella and Black Zetsu fell into it.

Loran quickly put away the sealing umbrella and tied the ribbon representing the final seal. The seal on the umbrella was completely closed, and a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) pattern appeared on the umbrella surface.

Otsutsuki agarwood, get daze!

Without Black Zetsu's interference, Pain's movements were swift and decisive. His three long fingers precisely pried open Obito's eye sockets, extracting the Mangekyou Sharingan that contained the precious space-time eye technique.

Obito let out a shrill, inhuman howl, fell to the ground, and splashed up a puddle of water.

"Why?" Obito asked weakly.

"what why?"

Despite seeing Obito covered in blood and in a terrible state, Loran remained calm.

At this point, he wouldn't mind letting Obito die knowing the truth.

"Why did my Kamui fail?" Obito's tone revealed deep confusion.

Kamui was his trump card in the ninja world; even the Flying Thunder God Technique, which is also a space-time ninjutsu, could only hit him when he was in a physical state.

But how did Nagato manage to disable Kamui?

Loran gave him an unexpected answer.

"Of course, it's based on the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"Impossible! Ridiculous!" Obito exclaimed in disbelief.

He wasn’t surprised how Loran got the Flying Thunder God; what he didn’t believe was when the Flying Thunder God could counter Kamui.

Moreover, how long ago was the Nine-Tails Night? He, Loran, is already a genius just for being able to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. How could he possibly learn the Flying Thunder God Technique to a level that surpasses that of the Fourth Hokage?

Loran lowered a strangely shaped kunai, engraved with Loran's Flying Thunder God mark—an abstract eye-shaped pattern.

It's a pity that Obito lost his eyes and can't see anything, otherwise he would definitely have noticed that he had just seen this pattern not long ago.

The sofa in the reception room was covered with this pattern, which he initially thought was just a fabric decoration.

"Your Kamui is actually the manipulation of another dimension. The so-called 'hollowing out' is just overlapping the other dimension with the real space, transferring the part of your body that is in contact with the attack into the other dimension, causing the other person's attack to miss, thus producing a visual effect similar to penetrating the hollowing out."

Obito listened with a heart full of doubt. Could this guy have confirmed the essence of his eye technique after only a few meetings? Is there really such a big difference between a genius and Kenji?

Loran wouldn't tell Kishimoto that he had told him all this, and he went on to recount his story.
