Thinking this,
Obito suddenly pulled out a strange, pure-white talisman-like object from behind his back.
On it were inscribed very ancient, complex, and deep formations and patterns, difficult to decipher.
This talisman,
Was something the Kitsune Ogre had given him before coming,
It was said,
Its name was "Piercing Cloud Arrow".
By simply injecting Chakra into it, the talisman would rapidly shoot up into the clouds, exploding like fireworks, thus achieving an effect similar to a signal flare...
If fired at a person,
It could directly achieve an effect like a gun or cannon,
Obito had naturally never seen such a flashy item before.
But it must be said,
Functionally, it sounded very convenient.
Therefore,
He naturally didn't resist using it.
However at this moment,
Konan and Pain on the opposite side, upon seeing Obito pull out the talisman, were both slightly shaken.
What... is this talisman?
A new type of explosive talisman?
No…
The incantations on it were of a form never seen before...
Realizing this,
The two became even more silent in their hearts.
And at this moment,
Obito opposite suddenly looked up, curled his lips slightly, and chuckled deeply:
"The upcoming battle,"
"Will probably be the most unbelievable one in your entire lives,"
"So,"
"Don't blink."
As the words fell,
Obito hesitated no longer, immediately mobilizing the chakra within his body and injecting it into the talisman in his hand.
And at that moment --
Clang!
The pure-white talisman suddenly emitted a brilliant light.
The next moment,
It burst forth from Obito's hand, like an arrow leaving the bowstring, instantly against the rain, shooting into the sky covered with dark clouds!
Seeing this, Pain and Konan both felt a slight tightness in their hearts.
However at this moment,
The moment the talisman pierced through the clouds, it instantly emitted a brilliant explosion in the sky!
Boom!!!!
A deafening explosion rang out!
Colorful, mottled light immediately scattered, forming a magnificent picture in the sky!
And at this moment,
From the sky above, a moon-white figure suddenly descended!
Clang!
He fell like the torrential rain, landing directly on the ground, instantly causing the surrounding ground to cave in ten centimeters!
The moon-white air currents around him, like reversed wind, continuously danced upwards.
A fierce, overwhelming pressure instantly engulfed the entire scene!
And what was even stranger was,
Around his body, there was not a single trace of rainwater!
Even though he stood in the pouring rain, it was as if an invisible barrier existed, blocking all the rain! ?!"
Seeing this strange scene,
At this moment, whether it was Konan or the Six Paths of Pain, they were all frozen in place.
Because,
They suddenly realized,
The reason the rain didn't wet his body,
Was not because it was deflected,
But purely because, the moment it was about to touch him, it was evaporated by the moon-white air currents around him...
Realizing this,
Konan and Nagato felt even more tense, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
Such terrifying power was simply unheard of...
Over the years,
Even if the two of them weren't exactly well-traveled, they could be considered battle-hardened veterans.
They had seen countless powerful figures in the Shinobi World...
But now,
This suddenly appearing white figure,
Gave them a sense of oppressive power far beyond anyone else's!
Like a beast about to begin the hunt!
And at this moment,
The white figure opposite slowly looked up and gazed this way.
Seeing this, Pain and Konan were naturally stunned again.
Huh?
This mask...?!
The white-bladed Kitsune Ogre who was once wanted by Konoha!?!
A member of Las Noches?!!
For a moment,
Konan and Pain were completely stunned.
Their thoughts directly interrupted!
No matter what, they never imagined,
The helper Obito had brought,
Would actually...
Be this guy!!
You have to understand,
The Kikyo Castle incident back then,
Although Konan and Pain hadn't witnessed it firsthand,
It had already spread wildly throughout the Shinobi World.
It was said that this Kitsune Ogre, single-handedly, easily defeated Konoha's two Elite Jonin, Hatake Kakashi + Might Guy, and bestowed upon them the title of "Konoha's Dynamic Duo".
And then, in just a few short exchanges,
Mercilessly crushed in direct combat the man known as the "Blue Lightning", the strongest in Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage, A!
Finally, in a magnificent display, he broke through space and left...
Leaving behind countless legends.
And the name of Las Noches,
Was officially established in the Shinobi World.
However,
Despite this,
Because the two sides had always maintained a non-aggression distance,
Therefore, Nagato had never paid attention to this organization,
After all, his goal was merely to collect the tailed beasts and use their deterrence to achieve world peace, and if the other party didn't obstruct him, he had no need to interfere.
But now,
He had suddenly appeared here...
Thinking this,
Pain's expression instantly darkened. He looked at Obito beside him and said firmly:
"So this is your plan... Uchiha Obito."
"Trying to use the power of this Las Noches to attack Amegakure and Akatsuki...?!"
In the pouring rain,
His voice fell heavily.
Just as Kyo had predicted,
Even though the Kitsune Ogre had appeared,
Nagato's target unsurprisingly immediately pointed at Obito, the instigator.
This way,
Regardless of the outcome of this battle,
By then,
Most of Akatsuki's attention would still be on Obito.
It would have nothing to do with Las Noches.
However at this moment,
Hearing this, Obito on this side,
Didn't care at all,
He completely didn't realize that he had already become Kyo's future scapegoat,
Instead, he looked smug and said flatly:
"Stop the nonsense."
"Witness properly... the great power of Las Noches."
As the words fell,
He instantly exerted his usual life-preserving nature,
Took a step back, directly retreated to the side, yielding the main stage to the Kitsune Ogre Kyo.
And on this side,
Konan's expression also instantly became serious, her gaze slightly darkening as she prepared to begin her Dance of the Shikigami.
However, the moment she was about to move,
Pain beside him suddenly looked over, then lowered his voice, and said flatly and deeply:
"Step back, Konan."
"The enemy's information is temporarily unknown... let me fight."
Raindrops pattered.
Pain's voice carried no emotion.
A pair of Rinnegan also seemed like a frozen lake, devoid of any unnecessary emotional color.
However,
His words, once spoken, were very decisive and unquestionable.
Like a command.
Hearing this,
Konan initially wanted to persist, but then suddenly paused slightly.
Then,
She could only lower her gaze slightly and slowly nod.
She also stepped back,
Retreating to the side.
She naturally knew that the reason Nagato said this was not out of arrogance.
He was just making the most correct decision.
After all,
There was very little information available on this Kitsune Ogre of Las Noches.
If a real fight broke out,
They would likely be at an absolute information disadvantage.
And if Konan joined the battle,
It might even lead to her own death.
But,
Pain was different.
These Six Paths of Pain, in essence, were merely puppets controlled by Nagato's Rinnegan.
As long as the Naraka Path Pain wasn't destroyed, no matter how severely the other Pains were damaged, they could be completely restored in a very short time..
This alone minimized the risk of combat.
And, stepping back,
Even if all Six Paths of Pain, including the Naraka Path, were destroyed, as long as Nagato, the original body, was fine, he could still reassemble them later.
Therefore,
Nagato had the confidence,
To fight against a strange opponent he had never encountered before.
