This Danzo Is Weird!

The civil war in the Land of Rain has begun.

The organization known as Akatsuki publicly listed all the atrocities committed by Hanzo over the years and, under the banner of liberating the Land of Rain, officially declared war on Amegakure!

This news spread throughout the ninja world via the Shinobi United News.

Moreover, the Shinobi United News dispatched war correspondents to the front lines in the Land of Rain to provide the most real-time and authoritative coverage for readers across the ninja world.

Almost instantly, the sales of the Shinobi United News skyrocketed, leaving other newspapers far behind.

Once again, it proved that they were indeed the number one newspaper in the ninja world!

After all, opportunities for people to witness war so directly were rare.

At this moment, on the front lines of the war in the Land of Rain, the members of Akatsuki were launching a fierce assault on the Rain ninja forces stationed there.

However, under the strict orders of their leader, Hanzo, the Rain ninja forces were putting up a stubborn resistance.

Coupled with their numerical advantage, Akatsuki was struggling to break through.

Fortunately, the three core members of Akatsuki quickly arrived at the front lines.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Konan, clad in a black trench coat, soared into the sky.

She spread her arms, and countless sheets of paper split off from her black coat.

These sheets quickly formed a pair of massive white wings behind her.

Paired with Konan's cold and indifferent expression, she looked like an angel descending from the heavens to oversee the mortal world.

"Dance of the Shikigami!"

Her icy voice rang out.

The wings behind her instantly split into countless sheets of paper, falling toward the ground like a storm.

These seemingly ordinary sheets of paper now revealed their terrifying sharpness.

They rained down like a barrage of shuriken, effortlessly slicing through the forest below.

Including the enemies hidden within the dense trees.

Ordinary flesh and blood stood no chance against Konan's attack.

In just moments, a large swath of the forest below was completely destroyed.

Rivers of blood began to seep out from the fallen trees.

"It's Konan, the Angel!"

"The enemy's top fighter is here, be careful!"

The remaining Rain ninja panicked at the sight.

Not only did their faces turn pale, but they also began to feel the urge to retreat.

Fortunately, their commander remained calm.

"Lord Hanzo has ordered that no one retreats!"

"Everyone fall back to the fort and use the defenses to repel these bastards!"

Under the commander's orders, the Rain ninja who had been engaged in fierce combat with Akatsuki in the forest quickly retreated.

With the cover of the fort, Konan's paper-style attacks could no longer cause massive casualties.

Thus, the morale of the Rain ninja forces stabilized.

Seeing this, Nagato, hidden in a distant cave, slowly opened his eyes.

His purple Rinnegan glowed with an awe-inspiring and sacred light in the dark environment.

He was seated on a special device, with several chakra black rods inserted into his body.

This was a chakra signal amplifier he had developed with Danzo.

Only through this amplifier could he control his puppets over a large area and share his power.

"Now, it's my turn to act."

Nagato manipulated his Deva Path puppet, bypassing the leader Yahiko, and headed straight for the battlefield.

Since Yahiko was still alive at this point, Nagato's Deva Path puppet was created from the corpse of a Rock ninja jonin.

With short black hair, the puppet looked clean and sharp.

Under Nagato's control, the Deva Path soared into the sky using the power of the Deva Path.

"Finally, you're going to show your true power, Nagato."

Yahiko and Konan watched this scene with excitement.

After all, the reason they had endured so much hardship was to wait for Nagato to gradually master the power of the Rinnegan.

Now, the moment to witness the results had finally arrived. How could they not be excited?

Not only them, but even the reporters from the Shinobi United News were thrilled.

Their journalistic instincts told them that a major news story was about to break!

So they eagerly aimed their old-fashioned cameras at the battlefield.

In contrast to Akatsuki's excitement, the Rain ninja hiding in the fort felt an indescribable sense of dread.

When they looked up, they were shocked to discover that this fear came from a small black dot slowly descending from the sky.

"Is that... a person?"

The Rain ninja swallowed hard, their mouths inexplicably dry.

Even though it was just one person, their hearts couldn't help but race.

Seeing this, the commander dispatched by Hanzo to the front lines gritted his teeth and tried to encourage his troops:

"What are you panicking about? We have the protection of the fort, and there's only one enemy. The advantage is ours!"

"If he dares to come down, we'll swarm him and cut him to pieces!"

After encouraging his troops, the commander finally looked up.

Only when he met those majestic, pale purple eyes did he realize one thing—

That guy might not be human. He might be a god!

Gazing down at the Rain ninja below, who looked like ants, the Deva Path's eyes grew colder.

He slowly spread his arms and whispered:

"Feel the pain."

"Shinra..."

"Tensei!!!"

Under the horrified gazes of all the Rain ninja, an indescribable, terrifying force erupted from the black dot in the sky.

The invisible repulsive force, like a natural disaster, effortlessly obliterated everything it touched!

Even the sturdy fort the Rain ninja were hiding in was slowly crushed into dust under this power.

As for the Rain ninja inside, they only had time to see a flash of white light, followed by a terrifying crash.

And then, they felt nothing.

Their flesh and blood were utterly insignificant in the face of divine power.

In just moments, hundreds of Rain ninja were completely annihilated.

The defenses they had painstakingly built to hinder Akatsuki's advance were reduced to dust, leaving only a massive crater in their place.

The entire battlefield fell into dead silence.

Even Yahiko and Konan were stunned.

Honestly, they had expected Nagato to crush the Rain ninja forces, but not like this!

This wasn't even a crushing victory—it was a complete and utter annihilation!

It was as effortless as squashing an ant!

The war correspondents following Akatsuki's forces also stood with their mouths agape, unable to process what they had just witnessed.

Fortunately, their professional instincts kicked in, and they quickly began snapping photos of the massive crater.

For a moment, the only sound on the battlefield was the clicking of cameras.

Far away, several kilometers from the battlefield, Danzo also witnessed this scene and couldn't help but sigh:

"Truly, the legendary eyes of the Sage are something else."

At the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of Uchiha Madara's power.

After all, the true master of the Rinnegan was the Shinobi of the Wandering Death himself.

If Nagato could unleash such devastating power with the Rinnegan, then Madara's strength must be even greater!

Perhaps even to an unimaginable degree.

If it weren't for Black Zetsu's sneak attack in the original story, the final outcome would have been hard to predict.

On the other side, Uchiha Obito, who was also monitoring the battlefield, shared Danzo's sentiment.

"It seems Nagato has begun to master the power of the Rinnegan. We must guide him onto the right path as soon as possible."

Obito, wearing his tiger-striped mask, spoke with a serious tone.

Black Zetsu glanced at him and asked:

"What if the plan fails?"

Obito adjusted his mask, a hint of killing intent in his voice.

"If he continues to stray from the path, then I'll have no choice but to reclaim Uchiha Madara's legacy."

Obito had always presented himself as the successor to Uchiha Madara.

And the Rinnegan was undoubtedly one of Madara's most important legacies.

If Nagato continued to deviate from the plan and failed to become their tool for capturing the tailed beasts, then Obito would have no choice but to reclaim what rightfully belonged to Madara.
