"Damn it, give Konan back to us!"
Yahiko was immediately enraged. No matter how calm and rational he usually was, at this moment he rushed forward recklessly—love always had a way of making people lose their heads.
Tsukasa Kaede glanced up, and Troy, who was beside him, threw out Card Shuriken. When Yahiko deflected the first Card Shuriken with a kunai, he was already tainted with magnetic force, sealing his fate.
Yahiko became a giant magnetic field, attracting the deflected Card Shuriken to fly back to him. They were knocked away repeatedly, only to automatically return each time.
In just a few seconds, Yahiko had launched dozens of attacks. He immediately created an Earth-Style Wall to block most of the Card Shuriken, but two of them still arced through the air and embedded themselves in his shoulders.
Bloody sprays erupted, turning Yahiko into a man covered in blood.
"Don't be so arrogant, Yahiko. If I truly wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be alive right now. Nagato, before you decide to attack me again, you'd best control your comrade."
Tsukasa Kaede made a Hand Kaedegn with one hand: "But don't worry, I won't hurt Konan. I just need her help in many areas... Of course, to make her cooperate better, I'll need to spend some time 'training' her. One day in the future, you will definitely meet again."
Before Nagato could lose control, Tsukasa Kaede activated his Spatial Rift Jutsu and left. He had obtained what he wanted and had no need to waste time here.
Heavy rain fell, turning the already sinking hearts of the people present ice-cold. The ninja stared at each other, revealing deep confusion and helplessness.
How could they fight this? Tsukasa Kaede had abducted Konan right in front of all of them, yet they could do nothing.
"Damn it, that damn Orochimaru! Was his true objective to abduct Konan all along?!"
Nagato, hair disheveled, roared towards the sky, his heart filled with extreme hatred.
He had done so much, developing many new powers of the Rinnegan in one go, significantly increasing his strength, yet he couldn't even protect a comrade he lived with day in and day out? This was a huge blow to both him and Yahiko, making them once again realize their own weakness, their hearts overflowing with grief and indignation with nowhere to vent.
Thus, Danzo, who had just finished using Izanagi, became the target for everyone's rage.
"Cripple Danzo and use him to trade Konan back from Orochimaru's hands! Although I don't know Orochimaru's purpose for capturing Konan, capturing Danzo alive is the best approach!" Yahiko pulled out the Card Shuriken from his body and violently threw them onto the Earth-Style Wall, allowing the magnetic force on them to dissipate naturally.
Nagato's hands trembled. He even intended to activate Sealing Jutsu: Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals one more time, determined to completely kill Danzo: "All the Sharingan on Danzo's arm have closed, plus the one on his head... meaning, if we kill him again and outlast the Dojutsu's duration, he will truly die!"
Yahiko grabbed Nagato's hands, gritting his teeth: "Look at your body now, don't keep using dangerous Jutsu. Preserve your strength and recuperate so that we can save Konan in the future. As for Danzo... we'll all go together; Nagato can't fight alone!"
A group of rogue ninja attacked in unison, launching Ninjutsu at Danzo.
Danzo quickly leaped to evade attacks, constantly shifting his position. As he continuously changed coordinates, Nagato, controlling the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, relentlessly stomped, further restricting Danzo's movement space.
"This won't do. I can't outlast these guys. To think I would one day fall to this state, being besieged by a group of youngsters."
Danzo was equally frustrated. He couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.
Three Sharingan, 180 seconds, yet it wasn't enough for him to seize the Rinnegan? Besides having to risk his life to probe Nagato's Dojutsu intelligence, the more crucial point was that scoundrel Orochimaru had been slacking off to this extent!
"Corpse Release could clearly be effective, allowing him to summon Terai and the others, yet Orochimaru didn't do it, and even let Tsukasa Kaede fob me off with a clumsy excuse!"
Danzo's eyes were bloodshot, burning with fury.
Nagato cursed Orochimaru, but Danzo would curse him even more fiercely for ruining his grand plan!
"My Chakra consumption is too great, three Sharingan are blind, and the Hashirama Cells are already showing signs of going out of control. If I keep fighting, my situation will only worsen."
Danzo looked up at the mountain-like Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, a fierce unwillingness evident in his eyes.
He had no choice; he was helpless against Nagato, and he had no reliable summoning beast to counter the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
"Danzo, you damned Konoha ninja, tell your comrades to return mine!" Nagato roared.
Danzo felt he was being unfairly blamed; he was clearly the one who had been set up.
The Sharingan in his eye socket spun continuously, but he still couldn't find any trace of Orochimaru. He had initially thought Orochimaru was hiding, waiting for him and Nagato to exhaust themselves before making a move.
"...I can only retreat. Orochimaru, you will regret this!"
If he didn't leave now, Danzo felt he would surely be killed.
"When this old man returns next time, Nagato, your eyes will belong only to me. Your caliber doesn't match the value of those eyes."
Danzo snorted coldly. As soon as he turned around, Nagato suddenly raised a hand.
"Universal Pull!"
A surge of attraction burst from Nagato's hand. Although it was his first time using this Jutsu, and it wasn't enough to instantly maximize the attraction's intensity, it was sufficient to restrain Danzo's movements.
"Before it was Repulsion, now it's Attraction... So that's how it is."
Danzo looked up as the foot of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which obscured his vision, stomped down on him. The structural damage he had inflicted earlier using the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique was still clearly visible.
He realized that his last remaining Sharingan couldn't be saved.
Boom! Danzo was crushed into a bloody pulp. Everyone knew by now that Danzo wouldn't die and would surely seek an opportunity to escape upon reappearing.
"Over there, don't think you can escape!"
Nagato tried to pull Danzo over again, but failed. The distance was too great; Universal Pull could only momentarily hinder Danzo's movements, not drag his entire body back.
