Chapter 105: Killer B: Do You Have Eyes All Over Your Body?
...
"Madara-sama! We've found Konan's tracks!"
In an underground base, a White Zetsu emerged from the wall, shouting excitedly.
"We found her! Shouldn't Madara-sama give us a reward?"
Obito Uchiha, lying on a stone bed, sat up and covered his forehead. "Speak. Where is the traitor?"
"She's in Kumogakure."
"Kumogakure?" Obito frowned. "Why has she gone to Kumogakure again?"
The orange spiral mask was gone from his face, replaced by a white spiral mask.
Two eyeholes revealed the Rinnegan and Sharingan within.
The Rinnegan lived up to its reputation as the Eye of the Six Paths.
Even though he had only transplanted one eye, and several days had passed, he was still in the adaptation period.
He could not fight during this time.
The new Six Paths of Pain had not yet been created. Even knowing the traitor's location, he couldn't rush over.
Black Zetsu emerged from the floor of the room, revealing his pitch-black upper body.
He spoke in a deep voice, "She likely went to Kumogakure to snatch bloodline samples again."
He didn't specify which bloodline, but he already had the answer in his heart.
It had to be the Golden and Silver Brothers, descendants of the Six Paths.
To this day, he could only believe that Konan had somehow learned the secrets of the Otsutsuki bloodline.
She was using inconceivable means to systematically collect and fuse relevant Kekkei Genkai.
Her goal was undoubtedly to complete the Otsutsuki bloodline!
Damn it! Where did this traitor learn these secrets?
For a thousand years, he had tampered with or erased all relevant records in the ninja world.
It should be impossible for anyone to discover the secrets of a millennium ago.
How could she be so precise?
Obito stared at Black Zetsu. "Are you saying that this traitor will soon fuse another Kekkei Genkai and increase her strength?"
Black Zetsu nodded helplessly. "That is the only explanation. Her recent actions have been extremely targeted; she is collecting and fusing Kekkei Genkai."
"How are your eyes? Can you fight?"
Obito remained silent for a long while before shaking his head. "No. The Rinnegan is still devouring my chakra and life force. It needs to be nourished for a while longer. I also need time to master its ocular techniques and abilities. I cannot fight right now."
Black Zetsu felt anxious, and his sense of foreboding grew heavier.
If Konan was allowed to continue developing and fusing, the impact on the plan he had worked on for a thousand years would grow larger.
She was a huge variable, yet they couldn't eliminate her immediately.
Who would have thought that a character they never paid attention to would suddenly learn the Otsutsuki secrets and become so troublesome?
Obito asked, "What is Sasuke's situation? Can he be deployed?"
"No," Black Zetsu shook his head. "The bandages can't be removed yet. The pupil power in his eyes is transforming. It will likely take another week."
Obito fell silent.
There was nothing they could do.
Both he and Sasuke, the two Super Kage-level combatants, were in the midst of transformation and needed time.
Even knowing the traitor's location, they were helpless.
As for Kisame Hoshigaki...
Going alone would be useless. He would likely die in Kumogakure.
"It doesn't matter." Obito covered his Rinnegan. "Let the traitor be arrogant for a while longer. Once I have fully mastered the Rinnegan, she won't be my match. We will settle all new and old scores then!"
Black Zetsu glanced at Obito but said nothing.
Right now, aside from waiting, there was nothing they could do.
...
Kumogakure, Central Battlefield.
"Satori" had revealed its true form, transforming into a massive, terrifying monster.
Relying on mind-reading, it dodged the Cloud Ninja's attacks in advance time and time again.
Even when attacks landed, it healed rapidly. It was a very difficult opponent.
Darui looked indifferent, commanding steadily.
Thousands of Kumogakure ninja had gathered around.
Cooperating tacitly, they showed no signs of disorder.
Step by step, they were forcing "Satori" into a dead angle where it couldn't dodge.
Mind reading? Darui sneered.
Even if you know my plans, you monster, you are helpless against them.
The situation is stronger than you; you can only accept your fate!
"Now!!"
Seeing "Satori" forced into the encirclement, Darui roared the order.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Nearly ten Jonin instantly leaped around "Satori," surrounding it, and shouted:
"Lightning Release: Thunder Binding!"
Lightning flashed.
A blue dome composed entirely of electricity completely enveloped "Satori."
Roar!
Satori howled. Its pitch-black claws touched the lightning barrier, instantly causing sparks to fly with a crackle.
The intense current made its claws smoke and paralyzed its body.
Unreconciled, "Satori" continued to try.
In the end, it only resulted in heavier injuries. It couldn't break through the Thunder Binding jutsu cast jointly by so many Jonin.
It was firmly confined within the dome.
Darui continued to issue orders. "Attack!"
In an instant.
Thousands of Cloud Ninja used Lightning Release simultaneously.
Various forms of lightning penetrated the barrier, ruthlessly bombarding "Satori."
Although its healing ability was extremely strong, under such a massive and continuous barrage of ninjutsu...
"Satori" couldn't parry. Aside from screaming in pain, it could do nothing.
Its aura withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Darui breathed a sigh of relief.
The outcome was decided. It was only a matter of time before this monster was subdued.
He looked toward the rear mountain, where the sounds of a massive battle were coming from, his face filled with worry.
"I don't know if Killer B is doing okay. I hope he's fine..."
...
Rear Mountain.
Dodai and C had already retreated a kilometer away.
The power of the battle between the two in the field was too terrifying.
They had to retreat again and again to avoid being swept up in it.
The buildings on the flat ground were almost completely destroyed, and the surrounding dense forest was mostly demolished.
The clink-clang sounds of collision were endless.
They seemed to appear in every location.
Still unable to see the figures clearly, they could only barely determine the positions of the combatants by the destroyed ground and trees.
In a state of high-speed movement.
Killer B was wrapped in crimson chakra, with eight chakra tails swaying behind him.
His body was agile to the extreme, wielding seven swords as if they were his own arms.
He slashed at Konan from every dead angle.
But it was futile.
Every time, he was blocked by hard ice emerging from her body.
Even the sneak attacks from the eight tails behind him failed to succeed.
Eight tails plus seven swords—attacking from fifteen directions at the same time—yet not a single injury was inflicted.
Did the opponent really have eyes all over her body?
It was simply incredible.
It wasn't an absolute defense like wearing ice armor, which he could accept.
Why was it that every time, hard ice appeared at exactly the right spot to defend against the attack...
If Alex knew Killer B's thoughts, he would only scoff.
Ice armor? What was that junk?
It would only clumsily reduce Konan's speed.
If he could defend precisely, why wear heavy ice armor?
Konan's entire body was paper, and every sheet on her surface was within Alex's perception.
With just a thought, he could condense a piece of hard ice to block an attack from any angle.
"B! Your Kenjutsu and Nintaijutsu can't take her down."
In the mental space, the Eight-Tails spoke gravely. "Transform into Tailed Beast Mode. If this continues, you'll be in danger."
