This Danzo Is Weird!

In the desolate Kamui space, Uchiha Obito's gloomy voice echoed.

"Has that damn Danzo reached such a level of mastery in Wind Release?"

He looked at the torn sleeve of his right arm, which had a fine gash, clearly the result of some kind of slashing attack.

Though it hadn't inflicted any significant harm on Obito, it still left him feeling extremely annoyed.

After all, he had always believed his Kamui to be invincible.

This time, even though he was half-intangible when struck, it still made Obito feel a huge threat.

If Danzo, that old man, continued to grow stronger, perhaps he really could develop a technique to cut through space!

This made Uchiha Obito somewhat uneasy.

Of course, compared to just tearing a bit of his clothes, Hanzo's injuries were much more severe.

Since Hanzo's intangibility was slower, he had a wound stretching from his chest to his abdomen under Danzo's slash!

It was just a hair's breadth away from slicing open the poison sac of the salamander he had transplanted inside his body.

If it had been cut open, not only would he have died of poisoning instantly, but even Obito beside him might have been affected.

Danzo might have had such an intention when he chose to attack him.

Thinking of this, Hanzo pressed his wound hard with his hand.

In reality, his wound was so large that no matter how he pressed it, it only served a psychological purpose.

"Save me," he lay on the ground, struggling to ask the man beside him for help.

Obito, behind his mask, looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a dead dog.

"Hmph, save you? Why should I?"

Hanzo's eyes gradually lost their luster, but he still weakly uttered a reason that Obito couldn't refuse.

"I can help you deal with Danzo."

"Tsk..."

Obito looked at the former demigod with interest.

He didn't expect that he would have such awareness even on the brink of death.

But it had to be said, Hanzo's words did move Obito.

Because Danzo had become one of his biggest obstacle.

Without eliminating him, the "Eye of the Moon Plan" would be far from being realized.

But given the existence of Konoha, Obito wasn't suitable to directly take action against Danzo at the moment.

Therefore, he needed to recruit more people.

And the former demigod in front of him, who also harbored deep hatred for Danzo, was indeed a good target to win over.

"Hmph, I'll spare your life for now."

————————

On the other side, standing on the ruins of the Hidden Rain Village and slowly sheathing his sword, Danzo exhaled softly.

"Still not good enough..."

He looked at the sword at his waist, feeling that there was still something lacking in that strike just now.

Although he had successfully injured Hanzo and threatened Obito,

it was achieved when the opponent was half-intangible and not paying attention to him.

There was still a considerable gap between this and his idea of slicing open space to directly threaten Obito's otherworldly body.

But such things couldn't be rushed; he would take it slowly.

He would find time to discuss the knowledge of space-time ninjutsu with Minato...

While he was thinking, Nagato had already rushed over from a distance.

Yahiko and Konan, who had narrowly escaped from Hanzo, finally came to their senses.

"Thank you, Lord Danzo!"

Konan was relatively reserved and ladylike.

As for Yahiko, he was much more unrestrained. Overjoyed at having narrowly escaped death, he plopped down on the ground and kept patting his chest.

"Thank you so much, Lord Danzo! I almost died there!"

Danzo glanced at him and admonished,

"If you let your guard down so easily on the battlefield, death will come sooner or later."

Yahiko, who had been scolded by Danzo, immediately gave a sheepish smile and awkwardly scratched his head.

It had to be said that after Nagato displayed an almost overwhelming terrifying strength, their attitude towards the enemy was indeed too relaxed.

"Anyway, thank you for your help, Lord Danzo."

Nagato, carrying the body of Deva Pain on his shoulder, thanked Danzo sincerely.

If it weren't for Danzo, his two close friends might have already perished.

Danzo nodded slightly and warned,

"Hanzo was just taken away by a mysterious person. He seems to possess some kind of very powerful space-time ability, capable of making long-distance spatial leaps."

He briefly analyzed Obito's ability and then summarized it in one sentence:

"In short, some formidable person has already set their sights on you."

"It could be Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki, or it could be the Rinnegan on you."

"Therefore, I suggest you all stay vigilant and train hard."

"Even if I were to deal with that mysterious person, the odds would not be in my favor."

Danzo deliberately put on a very apprehensive face, making Yahiko and the others tense up instantly.

If even Lord Danzo didn't have the confidence to deal with the enemy, how terrifying must that enemy be?

More importantly, the existence of that person, including Nagato, they hadn't sensed at all!

That was the most dangerous part.

It meant that the enemy could launch a surprise attack on them at any time!

Seeing that the three of them had finally become alert, Danzo nodded with satisfaction in his heart.

After all, he couldn't keep revolving around these three people, acting as their bodyguard.

The best way to protect what he cherished was to become stronger himself!

"What do you plan to do with this body?" Danzo shifted the topic to the Deva Pain that Nagato was carrying on his shoulder.

Hearing this, Nagato was taken aback for a moment and said uncertainly,

"Hanzo's poison has already infiltrated Pain's body. In this situation, it seems we have no choice but to create a new body, right?"

The ability to resist poison in three countries and earn the title of demigod, Hanzo's poison had played a significant role.

It not only caused great damage to the nervous system of living beings but also severely affected bodily functions.

Just like the current Deva Pain.

Although Nagato could still issue action commands to him through the black rod on his body, any command he issued, this body could no longer respond to.

In his view, this body was undoubtedly useless.

But Danzo didn't think so.

"If I remember correctly, there was a record in an ancient book of Konoha," Danzo said.

"The Rinnegan, hailed as the 'Sage's Eye,' wields the power of the Six Paths, and even transcends the power of the Six Paths."

"The body you created is just one of them—the power of the 'Deva' path."

"Among the Six Paths, the one that holds the power of life and restoration is the 'Hell' (Naraka) path."

Hearing Danzo's words, Konan and Yahiko were puzzled, while Nagato fell into deep contemplation.

"The Hell path, huh?"

Danzo nodded encouragingly,

"That's right, Nagato. Close your eyes, feel the power within you, and slowly guide it..."

Under Danzo's continuous guidance and Nagato's own meditation, a strange power burst forth from his deep purple eyes!

Hell Path...

Open!!

Flame-like dark purple chakra blossomed from under Nagato's feet.

This energy, like flames spreading from hell, burned fiercely on the ground and continued to expand.

At first glance, it had a soul-stirring power.

It seemed that stepping into it would lead one to the legendary hell and reincarnation.

Soon, as Nagato's power was further unleashed,

a huge and majestic face emerged from this gateway to hell.

Then, it revealed its entire head.

The Rinnegan identical to Nagato's looked mysterious, and the character "King" on its forehead exuded infinite majesty!

Its appearance couldn't help but remind one of a legendary being—

The King of Hell!

Or rather, it was the King of Hell who represented life and death in the cycle of reincarnation!

"Amazing, it actually succeeded."

A hint of approval flickered in Danzo's eyes, and then he became serious again.

"Nagato, guide this power and then control it!"

Nagato had already opened his eyes now, with veins bulging on his forehead and large beads of sweat continuously dripping down.

Clearly, manipulating the power of the Rinnegan was not an easy task.

In a sense, controlling this never-before-tried "King of Hell" was even more difficult than controlling the "Gedo Statue."

But recalling what Danzo had just said, as well as the nearly fatal danger that Konan and Yahiko had been in, and the mysterious person lurking in the shadows,

Nagato's gaze instantly became resolute!

"Direct this power onto Pain."

"Use the power of life and death wielded by the Rinnegan to restore him!"

Hearing Danzo's guidance in his ear, Nagato finally gained preliminary control over this power.

Under his manipulation, the "King of Hell" behind him slowly opened its mouth.

From the abyss-like pitch-black mouth, a tongue with a hand protruded, suddenly grabbing the Deva Pain on the ground.

Then, with a strong pull, it drew him into its mouth and began to chew slowly.

This sight made Yahiko feel somewhat nauseous.

"Such a method is just too disgusting," he couldn't help but whisper in complaint.

Danzo glanced at him and gave a half-smile, saying,

"Perhaps next time you are severely injured, Yahiko, you will be thrown into Nagato's mouth and chewed fiercely."

At the thought of that scene, Yahiko's face turned pale immediately.

"I definitely don't want to be swallowed by Nagato!"

"Alright, calm down," Konan pressed Yahiko's shoulder, signaling him to be quiet.

The "King of Hell's" chewing gradually stopped.

Under Nagato's control, it finally opened its mouth again and spat out a perfectly intact Deva Pain!

"Amazing, it really did repair him," Yahiko was the first to express his amazement.

There were many wounds on Pain's body from the battle with Hanzo just now, but now they were completely gone!

"Can you regain control, Nagato?"

Danzo asked the most crucial question.

"I'll give it a try," Nagato, whose face had turned pale, dispersed the "King of Hell" behind him and focused his spirit on controlling the Deva Pain in front of him.

The next second, the fully repaired Pain stood up again!
