Chapter 215: Konan's Descent
"Control Obito?" Alex stared at Konan's galaxy-like Tenseigan and nodded. "Relying on the Tenseigan's power, we can indeed do that."
The Tenseigan's Mental Sphere could control the will and actions of others. It could also extract their thoughts. Just like how Toneri Otsutsuki placed a sphere into Hinata's body to control her in the original story.
"In that case..." Alex removed the surrounding invisibility barrier. "Let's not wait!"
Konan's Tenseigan was fully active, her power reaching a new level. It was enough to sweep aside everything. There was no need to let the war follow the script any longer.
"Let's move!" Alex flew back to Konan's shoulder.
"It's time to end all of this," Konan said coldly, diving down with Alex.
On the ground.
Obito focused intensely, his Rinnegan wide open, still searching for the person who had teleported Guy.
Opposite him, Kakashi frowned. "Looking at the enemy, it doesn't seem like he was the one who sent Guy away."
"Kakashi-sensei." Naruto looked serious. "I was fighting him just now. I didn't sense him using any space-time ninjutsu. It shouldn't be him."
"Bushy Brow-sensei was likely teleported by another enemy we can't see."
"Who the hell is it?!!" Killer Bee asked gravely. "Can't even the Nine-Tails sense them?"
He had helped Naruto train on Turtle Island and deeply understood the Nine-Tails' power. Not only was its chakra massive, but it was also adept at sensing. Its ability to sense negative emotions was unheard of. Under such scrutiny, nothing should be able to hide. So why couldn't they find the hidden enemy?
"Uncle Bee, I—"
"Naruto—!!" Before Naruto could finish, the Nine-Tails shouted urgently, its voice laced with panic. "Above!! The enemy is above!!"
"Above?!" Naruto paused, snapping his head up.
Seeing his reaction, Kakashi and Bee also looked up. Even Obito on the other side looked toward the sky in confusion.
"That person is in the sky??"
everyone's pupils contracted abruptly. They saw a streak of light falling from the heavens. The speed was immense. In just a blur, the figure dropped from the infinite heights and landed on the ground.
She stood right in the middle of the standoff.
Blue-purple hair flowed gently; the Akatsuki cloak fluttered in the wind.
"It's you!!!" Recognizing the arrival instantly, Obito screamed.
He guessed right. The one who acted just now really was this traitor! Apart from her, no one else in the ninja world possessed such strength that he would remain completely unaware.
Obito suddenly felt phantom pains from all the healed scars on his body. It was a psychological reaction to seeing the person who gave him those wounds. Simultaneously, a fear rose from the depths of his heart—an uncontrollable instinct.
He was afraid... or perhaps, a little cowardly.
He couldn't control this instinctual reaction. He had lost to her too many times before, and miserably so. It had left a psychological shadow.
I am not the same as before!!
Obito roared internally, psyching himself up and forcibly suppressing his fear of Konan. I possess the power of two Rinnegan. I am stronger. I will not be beaten like a dog again!
I can do this!!
"Konan!!" Seeing her clearly, Naruto froze for a moment, then shouted angrily, "Where is Hinata!! What did you do to her? Give my comrade back!!"
His tone was anxious, carrying an unnamed unease. When Hinata was taken, he had a premonition that he might never see her again—that he would forever lose the shy girl who blushed and fainted whenever she saw him. Only with hindsight did he vaguely understand what that meant.
Unfortunately, it was too late. He had to retrieve Hinata, just as he had retrieved Sasuke!
Hinata, huh... Alex snickered, looking at the agitated Naruto. He really wanted to say those two words— Very moist...
Thinking better of it, he refrained. Everything was about to end anyway.
"Naruto!!" Inside the seal, the giant Nine-Tails bristled, looking extremely nervous, even terrified. "That is the enemy! The true enemy!! Do not harbor any illusions about her!"
Its voice carried a tremor it didn't even notice. "The malice... no, it's not even malice anymore. It is a steely will to overturn everything, to overturn the entire ninja world!"
"Naruto!" The Nine-Tails spoke with extreme gravity. "Fight with everything you have! If we lose this battle, you... me... the Five Great Villages, all ninjas, and the entire world... our fates will depend on her whim!"
Naruto was shaken. "Kurama, is it that serious?"
His spirit body stood before the massive fox like a sapling.
"Naruto." The Nine-Tails looked down at its Jinchuriki. "I can no longer sense her chakra or her specific power level."
"Compared to when she came to Konoha to take the Hyuga girl, her strength has grown drastically again. It exceeds the limit of my perception."
Finally, it spat out a heavy sentence: "Her power... is too terrifying..."
There was one thing Kurama didn't say. When his senses extended toward her, the feedback he received made him feel a fear that penetrated his soul. Every cell seemed to tremble; his chakra became unstable.
He was defeated before the fight even began!
Even facing Madara Uchiha, who treated him like a toy, he wasn't afraid. Before being controlled by the Mangekyo, he would roar a few times. He even dared to bare his fangs at Hashirama Senju.
But facing Konan, who had once been friendly to Naruto...
If he didn't suppress the fear in his heart with all his might, he wouldn't even have the courage to attack her.
Too scary...
Even the Sage of Six Paths hadn't given him this feeling. Why had her strength become so horrific?
He couldn't figure it out... he really couldn't.
It wasn't just the Nine-Tails who was confused. Black Zetsu, who knew of the Six Paths level existence, was equally baffled. Hiding in the shadows, it stared at the figure that had suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Seeing those eyes like swirling galaxies, its heart trembled.
Those were like Hamura Otsutsuki's... no... looking at the brilliance and the rotating stars, they were even more powerful than Hamura's eyes!
Where did she get those eyes?!
It even sensed the aura of an Otsutsuki from her. In an instant, it realized she had merged all the Otsutsuki descendant bloodlines and become a member of the clan!
Black Zetsu was panic-stricken and anxious. With such power on the board, how could the Eye of the Moon Plan continue?
But then, a thought inexplicably arose...
With such a body, she was simply the most suitable vessel for Mother's resurrection.
"Hmm???"
Black Zetsu suddenly realized it was floating...
But... it couldn't fly!!
A force enveloped its body, dragging it forward!! It looked in horror toward the source of the suction and met a pair of dazzling, starry eyes.
It was her!!!
It had hidden so perfectly; how was it discovered??!
Konan's eyes were cold. After activating the Tenseigan, she had spotted the hiding Black Zetsu from high above. Now, extending her hand, infinite gravity enveloped the pitch-black creature, sucking it over directly.
Everyone present stared in shock.
Kakashi gazed at the glowing blue eyes. "New eyes? A new dojutsu?!"
He shouted, "Naruto! Get ready! The enemy has become stronger again!!"
Since she had caused mass casualties in Konoha previously, they had long since judged her as an enemy. Kakashi focused his left Mangekyo on Konan, condensing a translucent spatial vortex.
Naruto exploded with golden light, his eyes forming a cross pupil. The Nine-Tails gave him more chakra and helped refine senjutsu chakra. Killer Bee fully transformed into the Eight-Tails, gathering a purple-black Tailed Beast Bomb in his maw.
As for... Obito...
The purple ripples in his eyes shone brightly. He raised both hands, preparing to use the Rinnegan's most powerful move— Super Shinra Tensei!
Whether it was this traitor or Kakashi and the Jinchuriki opposite him, he would annihilate them all with this move!
Konan raised her hand. "It's time... to end this."
The green energy sphere in her palm shot out.
It was fast—like teleportation!
