Upon hearing what Kyo said,
Obito beside him was momentarily stunned, then his heart stirred slightly.
Unexpectedly,
The elusive Las Noches,
Actually had such a doctrine similar to "do not harm civilians"...?
Ha...
How ironic,
But,
To lure out all the Akatsuki's members and then crush them in one go...?
This...
Thinking this,
Obito's Sharingan flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice:
"That..."
"Seems unlikely, Kitsune Ogre."
"You seem to have forgotten what I said—"
"That leader of the Akatsuki organization, Pain, has the ability to remotely contact others."
"And that very troublesome golden-eyed Kyo in the organization, once he receives the message, will definitely use Space-Time Ninjutsu to return to Amegakure."
"By then, to simultaneously deal with Nagato's Six Paths of Pain and that Kyo's golden eyes..."
"It seems... not a good idea."
Obito said with a grim expression.
As someone who had personally experienced Kyo's power,
He naturally still had some fear for those mysterious "True Eye of the King".
So he subconsciously reminded him.
However,
Hearing this, the Kitsune Ogre Kyo here almost burst out laughing.
He was amused inside.
This... actually asking me to worry about myself?
As expected of me.
Kitsune Ogre Kyo chuckled inwardly.
In fact,
Although this war had not yet begun,
He had already planned the final outcome.
And everything,
Just needed to wait for the right moment.
But of course,
These things couldn't be told to Obito.
Thinking this,
Kyo again looked up at Obito, raised one hand, and said flatly:
"No need to worry."
"Before us, there are absolutely no enemies."
As the words fell.
Obito was suddenly stunned.
What's with this powerful confidence...?
Eh...
Sure enough, worthy of the Kitsune Ogre.
Obito couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
Although back then he and the Kitsune Ogre had met as mortal enemies, now, as a cooperative partner, he indeed seemed very reliable.
After a moment of silence,
Obito nodded deeply and said in a low voice:
"Alright..."
"Then I'll lure out all the Akatsuki's members, and you make your move."
As the words fell,
Obito didn't delay any longer, instantly leaping out and disappearing from the hill.
Whoosh.
It must be said,
Apart from Kamui, his life-saving divine skill, his own strength was not weak either.
It's just, because he used Kamui so smoothly and was used to playing it safe, his other aspects seemed relatively mediocre.
Watching Obito's figure disappear into the distance, a pleased smile curled at the corner of Kyo's mouth.
And at this moment,
On this side, under the pouring rain, within Amegakure.
It was still the same old place.
On the gray tower, Pain and Konan stood together at the edge, gazing into the deep darkness in the distance.
And at this moment, Pain was raising one hand, forming a "Ram" hand seal, as if performing some technique.
A moment later,
The Chakra Surge disappeared, and he slowly lowered his hand.
Konan beside him noticed, immediately looked up, and said flatly:
"How is the situation, Nagato?"
"On Kyo and Deidara's side, is the capture of the One-Tail Jinchuriki going smoothly?"
That's right.
The seal Pain had just formed was naturally to contact Deidara and Kyo.
And at this moment,
Pain's expression remained unchanged, he just nodded slightly and replied:
"Everything is smooth."
"The two of them are carrying the Jinchuriki and returning to Amegakure."
"They have already left the Land of Wind border and entered the Land of Rain. At Deidara's speed, estimated they will arrive soon."
"..."
Konan lowered her gaze and nodded, saying nothing more.
In fact,
Regarding the mission Kyo personally went to execute, she naturally had no worries.
The reason she asked was also out of routine.
After all,
Things involving Tailed Beasts could easily have accidents.
To be honest,
Before they left,
Nagato had also worried about whether they would succeed.
However,
It wasn't worry about capturing the Jinchuriki, but fear that Kyo would be too heavy-handed....
After all, with his immense power, ordinary Shinobi truly couldn't handle it.
Fortunately, now, everything was normal.
However at this moment,
Just as Nagato was about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, in his perception, a strange aura instantly appeared within Amegakure!
"--!?"
Feeling the familiar sensation from this aura, Nagato was instantly shocked!
Even the expression on Pain's face couldn't help but suddenly change!
"?"
Seeing this,
Konan beside him was naturally surprised, quickly fixing her gaze and saying:
"What's wrong, Nagato?"
"Has something happened?!"
As a partner for over ten years, she could naturally sense the abnormality emanating from Pain at the first moment.
And at this moment, Pain turned his head and said in a deep voice:
"There's a critical situation."
"My Rain Tiger at Will Technique has detected the presence of an intruder in the southwest direction of the village..."
"...?"
Hearing this, Konan was momentarily stunned.
Then, she immediately lowered her gaze, and while stepping forward, said flatly:
"Leave it to me, Pain."
"I'll go deal with the intruder immediately."
Saying this,
Konan was about to turn, preparing to use her secret technique, Paper Release, to leave.
However,
Before she could raise her hand, Pain's heavy voice came from behind, interrupting her movement.
"Wait, Konan!"
"?"
As the words fell, Konan's expression froze slightly.
She had never seen Pain so serious before.
Logically, most previous intruders into Amegakure had been dealt with by her,
Was there something wrong this time?
However,
Just as she was pondering,
She heard Pain across from her say, his expression extremely grim:
"The person invading Amegakure this time..."
"Is that masked man who once disguised himself as Uchiha Madara and deceived us."
"Uchiha... Obito!"
"--!?!"
As the words fell,
Konan's pupils constricted sharply, and she instantly froze!
She never imagined,
The intruder,
Would actually be that man!
The storm howled. The black rain poured down.
At this moment, everything outside the tower seemed to be pushing the entire atmosphere of Amegakure to its lowest point.
It was so heavy it felt almost suffocating.
The rain on this day,
Was almost as heavy as the day Yahiko was killed.
And at this moment,
Within the tower,
Upon hearing what Nagato said, Konan was completely frozen.
It was a long moment later,
She slowly began to come to her senses.
At the same time,
She fixed her eyes and said in a deep voice:
"How... is this possible?"
"Why... would this guy suddenly come back at this time?"
Konan asked grimly.
Hearing this,
Pain slowly shook his head, also saying firmly:
"Not sure"
"But... his appearance,"
"Seems different from before..."
As he spoke,
Pain suddenly turned around, walking to the side, his gaze slightly deepening as he walked and said flatly:
"Let's go, Konan."
"Let's go together and see what he wants to do."
"If nothing unexpected happens, he probably still doesn't know that Kyo has exposed his identity."
"So, we still have the advantage of information."
"Hmm."
Hearing this,
Konan nodded and immediately followed.
Indeed,
As Nagato said,
Obito now probably still didn't know that his true identity had been reported.
After all, from that meeting back then until now,
They had never contacted each other in between.
And this was Obito's first time returning to Amegakure.
If there was no informant, Obito couldn't possibly know about this.
What's more,
If he already knew he had been kicked out of Akatsuki,
He probably wouldn't be swaggering back into Amegakure like this; it wasn't his usual style.
The two moved through the pouring rain.
Heading rapidly towards Obito's direction.
