Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

"It's not that I can't tolerate you, it's that I can't stand your leader with his sky-high ambitions. That kind of thinking, that kind of belief, will bring annihilation to our Rain Village!"

"So hurry up and do it, kid. Kill Yahiko, and I'll release this woman and promise never to harm your Akatsuki again. We're all Amegakure family. If I had no other choice, why would I turn against my own family?"

"..."

The despicable voice echoed, but Hanzo's brainwashed supporters remained unmoved. However, Uchiha Shisui and the others standing on the other side showed a strange look in their eyes.

But that's all there is to it.

They are the ones who carry out the mission. By helping Hanzo fight against the Akatsuki, they can gain Hanzo's support, which will alleviate the pressure on Konoha on the battlefield in Iwagakure.

Compared to the safety of Konoha, the life and death of outsiders are insignificant, even if this outsider is a young man with strong beliefs and a thirst for peace!

"Hurry up and do it, kid, my patience is running out!"

"..."

Nagato's body trembled.

They would not abandon their companions, but they would never kill another companion for the sake of the life of one.

Seeing Nagato trembling and Konan being held hostage by Hanzo, Yahiko's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment, a touch of nostalgia, and hatred for the enemy.

Finally, countless emotions transformed into unwavering resolve at this moment.

He knew that Nagato, being shy, was completely unable to make decisions in such matters. Besides, he also hoped that Nagato and Konan could survive safely!

"Nagato! Kill me!"

Yahiko took a deep breath and said slowly and firmly.

"Wha, what..."

Nagato stared blankly at Yahiko.

His unwavering resolve was to protect them both from harm, no matter the pain or the outcome. But now, fate forced him to choose between the two people he most wanted to protect.

Why is this happening...

"Nagato!"

Seeing Nagato's hesitation, Yahiko knew that the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it would be, and for the first time, he shouted loudly at Nagato.

"do not want!"

Hot tears mingled with the rain, streaming down the girl's cheeks like a weeping angel.

"Hurry up and do it, or this woman will be dead!"

Victory is within reach, but ambition and desire drive the corrupt ruler to continue to pressure the boy who is on the verge of collapse!

Nagato's body trembled as he slowly moved forward and picked up the kunai from the ground.

Those few steps seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He breathed heavily, as if only in this way could he obtain the meager oxygen in the air.

His hand, gripping the kunai, trembled uncontrollably; he still couldn't make a decision.

Having had everything destroyed by the Konoha ninjas, it was Konan and Yahiko who took him in. It was their companionship, their actions, their beliefs, and their support that warmed his almost desperate and cold heart, allowing him to persevere step by step until now.

And now...

"Konan, Yahiko, I..."

"Pfft!"

That was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh!

Seeing Yahiko suddenly leaning tightly against him, and feeling the warm liquid gradually flowing from his hand, Nagato's pupils contracted, and his eyes widened in shock and trembling.

The whole world seemed to fall silent at that moment, and countless eyes fell on the boy who had rushed towards the kunai.

Shock, emotion, excitement, pain.

And... the relief and liberation in Yahiko's eyes.

"Nagato...you and Konan must...live on, no matter what..."

With his heart pierced, Yahiko leaned weakly against Nagato's shoulder, blood trickling from his mouth. His voice, trembling with resentment yet tinged with a hint of relief, slowly broke through: "You are... the savior of this world... If it's you... perhaps it really can..."

The boy, full of dreams and hopes, collapsed helplessly onto the muddy ground covered by rainwater. The sky, already obscured by thick clouds, seemed to grow even more gloomy at that moment.

"No...no...no!!"

The dawn that pierced through the darkness within him fell right before his eyes.

To protect his and his companions' lives.

Nagato stood there, stunned, bloodshot veins rising in his Rinnegan, and a cold, desperate chakra emanated from his body.

"Yahiko!!!"

"Do it!"

With minimal effort, Hanzo eliminated Akatsuki's most powerful leader. Having succeeded in his scheme, Hanzo no longer concealed his ugly intentions, his eyes flashing with cold light as he waved his hand.

Dozens of elite Rain Village soldiers rushed towards Nagato, unleashing countless shurikens aimed at his face, but they were all blocked by an inexplicable barrier.

"Everything will begin at this moment."

Feeling the special chakra, Obito's eyes showed an uncontrollable excitement, and his gaze fell on Shisui in the distance, who was only wearing a ninja battle suit to conceal his identity.

The still water, which had been silently observing everything before it, seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up.

Two scarlet three-tomoe gems met in mid-air, and the two figures disappeared from the spot at the same time!

Chapter 101 Rinnegan Wood Release Mangekyou Sharingan Mizuki Yoru

"Zheng!"

The sound of a sharp blade being drawn was incredibly crisp. In an instant, a cold glint flashed across his neck, as fast as lightning.

In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Shisui had already passed by Uchiha Obito, but this genius boy of the Uchiha clan had his brows furrowed tightly.

That slash did indeed glide across the other person's neck, but it didn't feel like it hit anything.

what happened? !

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

The instant the ninja sword missed its target, Shisui whirled around in mid-air, his hands forming hand seals, and a roaring fire dragon suddenly spewed from his mouth.

Obito, hidden behind the vortex mask, sneered, remaining unmoved as the roaring fire dragon engulfed his body.

The next moment, his figure suddenly appeared behind Shisui, and a slender black rod condensed from his palm, which he then stabbed down fiercely at Shisui's neck!

But in that brief moment, Shisui's figure vanished completely.

The black rod sliced ​​through the air and sank deep into the ground; this near-zero-point, guaranteed-hit attack was dodged by Shisui's Body Flicker Technique.

"Such a fast teleportation."

Obito's deliberately lowered, hoarse voice rang out: "Shisui's reputation for Body Flicker is indeed well-deserved. He truly deserves to be called the number one genius of the Uchiha clan."

"You guy..."

Shisui emerged from another tree nearby, staring at Obito below, his mind racing with thoughts of everything that had just happened.

He had clearly locked onto the guy's aura, but both his physical attacks and ninjutsu missed their mark.

It wasn't blocked, it just missed and went right through!

"Illusion? An afterimage that's too fast?"

Uchiha Shisui narrowed his eyes slightly, and in an instant, his sharp ninja sword slashed towards Obito's throat again, but it still passed through his body.

He drew his knife with a backhand motion, but his opponent used the opportunity to stick an explosive tag on his wrist with his left hand and retreated.

"entity?"

The physical contact caused Shisui to have a strong mental storm. At the same time, a small amount of chakra was hit on the explosive tag, and the Body Flicker Technique was activated. He teleported backward, leaving the explosive tag behind.

"boom!!"

The explosive tag was detonated, but it did not harm Uchiha Shisui in the slightest, which made Obito frown slightly.

He had already detonated the explosive tag immediately, but Shisui's movements and speed were too fast, so much so that he had already dodged it the moment the tag exploded.

"Instantaneous Movement... Then I'll restrict your movements for now!"

"Wood Release: Thorn Technique!"

Obito clasped his hands together, and the ground suddenly trembled. Countless vines and branches, fueled by his chakra, surged towards Shisui like snakes and pythons, launching a continuous and extremely fast attack.

Shisui also formed hand seals, then suddenly leaped up and spat out three meteor-shaped fireballs, blasting them towards the oncoming vine.

Fire Release: Great Flame Flower!

The raging flames forcefully blocked the spread of thorns.

"Immune to all physical attacks, even ninjutsu can be dodged. He only materializes at the moment he makes a move, and he also has the ability to use Wood Release."

The flames crackled and popped as the vines burned. Shisui murmured, his gaze fixed on the flames: "You're the guy on Mount Higashimatsu who attacked Lord Minato, the one who possesses both the Mangekyou Sharingan and Wood Release, aren't you!"

"Did you notice?"

Obito sneered, "It seems that Minato Namikaze has already spread my information among Konoha's top shinobi. How honored I am."

"However, now that you know my identity, you should understand the power I possess."

Under the flickering flames, the three-tomoe Sharingan in the pale vortex mask spun rapidly, transforming into a bizarre windmill.

A vast power of vision rushed towards us, and the unique pressure unique to the kaleidoscope permeated the air!

"Before this eye, everything you possess is meaningless!"

"So it really is the Mangekyou Sharingan..."

The three tomoe stared at the Mangekyou Sharingan, but Shisui's face showed no fear, only a chilling killing intent!

Bloodline transplantation is an inviolable taboo for all bloodline clans. Even someone like Uchiha Shisui, who wasn't solely devoted to his clan, absolutely accepted this rule.

"Although I don't know where you got this eye from, as a member of the Uchiha clan, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect the power that belongs to the Uchiha!"

"So, die!"

"Heh, can you do it, you junior of the Uchiha clan!" Obito, who had completely imagined himself as Madara Uchiha, sneered, completely disregarding his age, which was even younger than Shisui's, and suddenly clasped his hands together.

The black robe on his right shoulder was torn open instantly, and multiple wooden vines burst out from his shoulder, shooting straight towards Zhishui. They intertwined in mid-air and instantly transformed into a towering tree!

"Wood Release: Violent Spear Tree!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball!"

The raging flames fell on the towering tree, and the fire shot into the sky!

"Chance!"

Obito's lips curled up beneath his pale mask, and with Kamui activated, he silently appeared behind Shisui at the instant the ninjutsu clashed, his right hand suddenly grabbing at Shisui's eyes.

Your eyes are mine now!

"hehe!"

A cold smile appeared on Shisui's face. At the moment Obito's palm struck, the three tomoe in his left eye, which were spinning wildly, actually connected together and transformed into the shape of a square shuriken.

"Other gods!"

The two kaleidoscopes locked eyes in that instant, and their immense power of vision erupted forth.

Obito's body froze in place, completely still as if he had been frozen in place.

"Success!"

Shisui took a deep breath, feeling the effects of his eye power, and slowly opened his mouth while staring at Obito.

"Who are you? Where does your power come from? What is your purpose?"

"..."

Obito Uchiha's body trembled slightly, and the next moment, a voice that Shisui found quite familiar came from under the mask.

"I am Uchi..."

"call out!!"

Suddenly, a burst of branches shot out from Obito's body. The speed was so fast that even Shisui couldn't react in time and was pierced through the shoulder.
