Chapter 112 The Civil War of Akatsuki: A Battle Between Gods and Demons
"Shinra Tensei!"
The shockwave spread outwards in all directions from the center of the Heavenly Dao.
This steel tower, which has stood in Amegakure for decades, is as fragile as building blocks at this moment.
Even the thick metal walls shattered into countless fragments that flew outwards.
The top of the tower was completely blown off, revealing a gloomy and oppressive sky.
Obito stood at the center of the repulsive storm, but his body became ethereal like a phantom.
The shockwave passed through his body without causing him any harm, but it blasted the wall behind him into dust.
"It's no use, Nagato."
Obito's words were full of sarcasm.
"Your Rinnegan is powerful, but you don't understand its true essence. This kind of brute force is unfortunately ineffective against me."
"Really? Are you sure?"
Nagato's voice came from the ruins.
As the tower collapsed, all six Paths of Pain, who had been hiding in the shadows, revealed themselves.
The Asura Path's arm transformed into a missile launcher, while the Animal Path formed hand seals, unleashing massive summoning beasts—a split-dog, a rhinoceros, and an Archaeopteryx—that charged straight at Obito.
"Black Zetsu!"
Obito let out a low shout.
"understood."
Black Zetsu laughed.
Suddenly, countless white figures emerged from the cracks in the ground and walls, and even from under the shattered rubble.
Thousands upon thousands of White Zetsu clones surged toward Pain and Nagato's main body.
"If you don't want to be an obedient puppet, then obediently become fertilizer for this land!"
"You won't get near him!"
Konan, who had always been by Nagato's side, began to take action.
The paper wings on her back unfolded, and her whole body transformed into countless sheets of white paper, fluttering in the air.
"The Dance of Shikigami: Punishment!"
Paper scraps fell like snowflakes, each one bearing the spell for an explosive talisman.
The continuous explosions echoed through the sky, and the flames almost illuminated the dark Rain Village.
The White Zetsu, attempting to approach Nagato's main body, was blasted into pieces by the dense explosion.
"Xiao Nan..."
Nagato felt a surge of warmth as she watched the figure desperately trying to protect her, but more than anything, she felt anger.
"Today is your death day!"
The six Paths of Pain launched their attacks simultaneously, and with the help of Konan's explosive tags, they managed to suppress the White Zetsu army's offensive for a time.
However, Obito was not moved in the slightest by the casualties of the White Zetsu. In his eyes, these casualties were no different from consumables, so they were just casualties.
His only goal is to find Nagato's true form.
"Too naive."
Obito's figure appeared and disappeared on the battlefield, weaving between the rain of missiles from the Asura Path and the summoned beasts from the Animal Path.
Kamui, this unsolvable space-time ninjutsu, allows him to ignore the vast majority of physical attacks.
He was like a death god walking in another dimension, gradually approaching Nagato.
"Human realm! Hungry ghost realm! Stop him!"
Nagato, controlling Payne, attempted to intercept him.
But Obito knew the Rinnegan too well. These eyes originally belonged to Madara, and as the agent of Madara's will, he knew their weaknesses and abilities inside and out.
"It's still too slow."
Obito's figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had already passed through the defenses of the Six Paths of Pain.
He ignored the puppets and appeared directly outside the paper defense circle that Xiao Nan had built.
"Get out of my way! Don't even think about coming near me."
Konan roared, and countless paper spears shot towards Obito.
Obito's body simply became intangible again, and the paper spear pierced through his body.
The next second, his hand was already on Xiao Nan's shoulder.
"Your opponent is not me."
Obito unleashed a burst of chakra, activating Kamui's suction force, attempting to pull Konan into another dimension.
Xiao Nan had no choice but to detonate the pieces of paper around her body, using the recoil from the explosion to forcefully break free, but she was also forced back a great distance.
The defenses were eventually breached, and Obito stood before Nagato.
At this moment, Nagato was on the verge of collapse due to the previous exertion, including his mental strength being on the verge of collapse during the dungeon, and the long journey back.
Adding to the intense battle he just fought while controlling the Six Paths, his body was already extremely weak.
The black rod on his back is connected to the life supply system of the Outer Path Golem.
Beside him, Black Zetsu had somehow possessed the Preta Path, using its ability to absorb chakra to forcibly interfere with Nagato's control over the other Pains.
"It's over, Nagato."
Obito looked at the man he had once called leader.
"For a defective member of the Uzumaki clan like you to have these eyes preserved for so many years is already a great honor for you."
"Now, give it back to me."
Obito slowly reached towards Nagato's eye socket. The aura of death was so clear.
Nagato looked at that hand, his heart filled with resentment.
He simply couldn't accept that his life had been a joke! Yahiko's dreams being trampled on by these schemers was even more unforgivable!
"I'm not reconciled..."
Nagato roared inwardly.
Suddenly, the image of Roy, a man with a wicked grin in Konoha, appeared in his mind.
There's also Naruto, who shares the same bloodline but chose a completely different path.
"We are all pawns, but some people have overturned the chessboard."
"I never imagined I'd do something like this. Now, I'm going to overturn it!"
Nagato pulled out a black and gold card from his pocket. Roy had forced it on him when he left the Illusion Dojo.
【Illusionary Dojo VIP Exclusive SOS Card (Includes God-Level Security Service)】
At the time, he scoffed at the card, thinking it was just a trick by that unscrupulous merchant to swindle money.
After all, when he was at the Illusionary Dojo, this shopkeeper only talked about money and had no ideals whatsoever. He was a complete shrewd businessman.
What he found even more unacceptable was that he was a god-level being with boundless strength.
How could a god possibly need the protection of mortals? But now, it seems to be his only hope.
"It's ironic that even a god would one day ask mortals for help. It's so unlike me. But Roy... if you really are that variable..."
Nagato stared at Obito, his gaze hardening.
"Let me see if your after-sales service is really worth the price!"
Nagato crushed the card in his hand, and in that instant the card shattered...
An unusual fluctuation descended upon the ruins; it had nothing to do with chakra or natural energy, but with something else entirely.
Not only was Nagato a little confused, but Obito was also surprised. This fluctuation exceeded his understanding of space-time ninjutsu.
Obito's hand froze in mid-air, so close to Nagato's eyes, yet seemingly worlds apart.
He sensed a real threat; even the Divine Might Space was becoming unstable—this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
"This is……"
Obito stared at the void beside him, a solemn expression on his face.
A dark crack suddenly appeared in what was once an empty space.
A mocking voice came from the crack.
"Oh dear, this is such a headache."
"My newly recruited downline hasn't even had a chance to generate any profit for me, and now they're going to be kicked out?"
"That won't do."
"This is one of my most valuable assets, if it's damaged... can you afford to compensate me?"
"What's even more outrageous is that after wearing the mask for so long, people actually start to believe they are Madara?"
As the last word fell, a pitch-black rift opened up, transforming into a massive portal that stretched directly between Obito and Nagato!
