Chapter 321 321 Core Wedge
Chapter 321 321 Core Wedge
Land of Frost, inland.
Towards the land near the coastline.
While some were nervously debating whether to go and check the situation, they suddenly felt the ground shake.
"The earth dragon has overturned."
"It couldn't be those two Ninja fighting just now, could it?"
The Ninja of the Land of Frost were even more afraid to go and investigate.
"Don't worry, the Daimyo has already been informed. They should send people from other Ninja villages to investigate soon."
However, they soon discovered that the commotion had already disappeared.
It wasn't until an hour later that some of the bolder Ninja among them went forward to check the situation.
When they arrived at the coastline.
They found that the area had changed drastically.
Most of the forest trees near the coast had been buried underground, with only the pointed tops of some tall trees visible.
And the distant sea also seemed to have not yet calmed down.
It was still turbulent from the aftershocks.
The bold Ninja patrolled the surroundings, finding no other intelligence besides the environmental changes.
But these environmental changes were too significant.
"I've seen this kind of change before. The situation in Hidden Mist Village back then was so similar to this."
An old Ninja recalled the events of that year.
That year, the Earth Spider Clan's one-strike destruction of Hidden Mist Village, the origin of Genjutsu, shocked the world.
Although Hidden Mist Village's political corruption led to more focus on internal strife.
And it was during this internal strife that someone targeted the Earth Spider Clan.
Leading to its destruction by the enraged En no Gyōja.
The scene before them, though different, was equally terrifying...
Konoha.
Pain flew high in the sky, looking down at Konoha below.
He had initially believed that his only threat this time was Satoru, and that everyone else was just a Ninja he could easily handle.
The reality was that Choza, Choji, and Kakashi, along with others who joined later, made the fight very difficult for him.
His right hand was aimed at Konoha below.
And his left hand was just a bleeding severed arm.
The Akimichi Clan's secret techniques were indeed powerful.
"Shinra Tensei."
...Below Konoha.
All the Pains except for Pain had been dealt with.
Satoru's clone had witnessed everyone's battles.
Indeed, with intelligence, there were few people in the Ninja World who could contend with Konoha.
And this was even with some Ninja away on missions.
"But it's finally time for me to act. I can't just do nothing."
Inverted Golden Bell Barrier.
He directed the barrier squad to activate the barrier Ninjutsu developed years ago... "Choza, Choji, are you alright?"
Kakashi looked at the soaring Pain, unsure of what he was doing.
Beside him, Choza and Choji had collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
"Eat... I want to eat..."
Choji mumbled incessantly.
Choza was in a worse state; without Choji's ability to use the secret technique on his own, he only stopped after the secret medicine had finished converting his fat's energy.
Choji, on the other hand, could freely control whether to burn fat, making him slightly better off.
Kakashi pulled out soldier pills and fed them to the two.
Then his gaze fell upon Pain.
His Sharingan slowly rotated, transforming into a Mangekyo.
Kamui.
He had a bad premonition and used his last bit of strength to seize the opportunity to take down the opponent.
However, just as he gathered his Ninjutsu, he found it was broken.
It seemed to have been repelled by the opponent's Ninjutsu.
At the same time, the sky became blurred, and a giant barrier enveloped Konoha.
Rumble!
...A high ground far from Konoha.
Konan returned here.
"I didn't expect Konoha to be so resilient..."
Konan looked towards Konoha through the opening.
That move was about to be used... but it was unavoidable. She had anticipated it when the intelligence was sent out.
It was just Nagato's lifespan... "I will make them experience Pain..."
Before Nagato's eyes, various Pain parts appeared.
After he controlled Pain to release the Super Shinra Tensei, the Chakra in his body recovered.
A giant head appeared behind him, opening its large mouth and sucking in all the Pains on the ground... "Truly magnificent!" Black Zetsu looked at the scene in the distance.
"That's a space-time barrier. It seems Nagato's technique won't cause substantial damage to Konoha!"
Tobi's terrifying dynamic vision detected it.
Konoha Village seemed to have been erased from the world.
But not by Nagato.
"Konoha actually has hidden strengths I don't know about... Hmm?"
Just as Black Zetsu said this, a White Zetsu emerged from beside him.
Tobi also turned his gaze to the White Zetsu.
"What's wrong?"
"In the direction of the Land of Frost, all White Zetsu near the coastline have lost contact.
It seems they're all dead," White Zetsu said.
Tobi and Black Zetsu both looked at White Zetsu with a bit of shock upon hearing this.
White Zetsu's concealment ability was perfect.
Even the Sharingan and Byakugan couldn't see through their disguise technique, and they had the high-speed movement of the Mayfly technique.
"What's the situation?"
"I don't know. From my later investigation, there was only a trace of a battle.
There was no other Chakra information; it seemed to have been completely wiped out by someone.
But judging from the battle scene, it was comparable to two Tailed Beasts fighting, and a Tailed Beast Ball was used."
White Zetsu recounted the situation in the Land of Frost.
"Tailed Beasts?"
This made Black Zetsu and Tobi frown.
The Akatsuki Organization currently only had the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tailed left to capture, so how could Tailed Beasts appear?
"Let's go take a look. Is there really a capable person in the Ninja World? We can leave this to Nagato and the others.
I believe in their strength."
...Rumble!
Konoha became a ruin.
Pain, however, frowned a little, simply because there were no building remnants below.
Just then, a Yata Garasu flew from the sky, and the Animal Path summoned all the Pains.
The Naraka Path used its ability to open its large mouth and swallowed Pain.
Just then, the Pains saw changes appearing below.
Led by Tsunade, dozens of Anbu appeared out of thin air.
Tsunade clenched her fists, staring intently at the enemy in the sky.
"This is the power of resurrection... the Rinnegan, isn't it..."
...Satoru's secret laboratory.
He appeared here with Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's body.
Pain?
What was Pain? Nothing was as important as what he had now.
This was an Ōtsutsuki's body.
And a living Ōtsutsuki at that.
"I wonder if I can read his memories."
He placed his hand on Urashiki's head, activating the Psycho Mind Transmission.
This time, it was different from previous mind readings.
There were no numerous memory fragments around; instead, it was a vast, empty void.
In the center of the void was a huge, diamond-shaped crystal.
Satoru frowned as he approached.
On the crystal, he seemed to see countless memories, yet he also seemed to see nothing at all.
It wasn't a problem with his brain; he truly couldn't see anything.
He placed both hands on the crystal.
As Chakra just extended from his hands, with a 'bang,' his entire body was repelled.
Then, black patterns began to appear on the crystal, and a huge suction force was generated, seemingly trying to extract his spiritual energy.
Satoru promptly stopped the Psycho Mind Transmission.
Outside, he opened his eyes and immediately looked at the seal.
He found the seal completely intact.
"Is this an ability to prevent memory reading?
That core is somewhat similar to the one on Boruto.
One acts on the body and spirit, while the other focuses solely on the spirit.
Those black patterns, that must be the power of the so-called Karma, right?
But why didn't he use that Karma to fight during the battle?"
Satoru remembered from watching videos in his previous life that the power of Karma was very strong.
It could make the protagonists of later generations incredibly powerful.
