Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!
Kageyama Kogetsu clapped his hands together. The dense water vapor in the air was manipulated, and a white mist materialized out of thin air, quickly enveloping an area of several thousand meters. The mist was so thick that one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.
"Damn it! This guy isn't going to dodge, is he? Is he deliberately using the thick mist to block our view so he doesn't lose face in front of us?" the Deva Path of Pain said through gritted teeth.
No matter how powerful a Tailed Beast Bomb was, what was the use if it couldn't hit its target?
The Rinnegan and the Mangekyō Sharingan didn't have the Byakugan's ability to see through things.
Although he could sense that the opponent was still in the same place, with the speed of the Flying Thunder God, it would only take an instant to dodge and return to the original spot.
"That's possible. I'll bluff him."
After replying to Obito Uchiha, he said in a loud voice, "As the Hokage, are you a man who goes back on his word?"
Kageyama Kogetsu sneered, "Hehe... what's the point of talking about trust in the ninja world? Masked Man, did your head get caught in a door?"
He had no intention of dodging. He just didn't want the two of them, and Black Zetsu, to see his right eye. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to his subsequent plans.
Black Zetsu knew of Isshiki Ōtsutsuki's existence, characteristics, and abilities. The possibility was not small.
Obito Uchiha's anger flared. "If you dare to dodge, we'll both risk our lives to fire the Tailed Beast Bomb at Konoha."
"It's not too far from Konoha. You can bet on whether the two of us, plus the power of seven Tailed Beasts, can shoot the Tailed Beast Bomb that far..."
"I know Konoha's location very well. I won't miss."
Obito Uchiha was purely bluffing. If they had the chakra of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, they could do it. With the chakra of only seven Tailed Beasts, they were still a little short.
"You're ruthless!"
Kageyama Kogetsu feigned reluctance. With a thought, he moved a portion of the mist in front of him to the sides.
"But do you think you can do anything to me just by facing the Tailed Beast Bomb head-on?"
"Have you forgotten the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Barrier?"
Hearing this, Obito Uchiha's expression changed. He said in a deep voice, "I don't believe you can transfer such a massive Tailed Beast Bomb! The chakra of seven Tailed Beasts—not even the Nine-Tails can match it!"
With that, Obito Uchiha turned to the Deva Path of Pain. "Nagato, we have to go all out."
"If the Tailed Beast Bomb is really transferred by the Flying Thunder God Barrier, all our efforts will be in vain."
"Mm." The Deva Path of Pain nodded slightly.
The two of them then desperately squeezed out their chakra to leverage more of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's power. Soon, blood flowed from both of their nostrils...
"Go!" the two of them shouted in unison.
The massive Tailed Beast Bomb shot out, stirring up the wind and clouds. The mist was pushed back to the sides, but in an instant, it closed the gap again under Kageyama Kogetsu's control, blocking their line of sight.
Sukunabikona!
Kageyama Kogetsu's right eye turned into a black eye. A golden light flashed in his eye, and the massive Tailed Beast Bomb was instantly shrunk to the size of a marble.
He casually caught the Tailed Beast Bomb, then tore through space to arrive over the sea. With a flick of his finger, the golden light in his right eye flashed again, and the Tailed Beast Bomb returned to its original size. Finally, he turned and stepped back into the spatial vortex, returning to the thick mist.
All of this took a long time to describe, but in reality, it was all completed by Kageyama Kogetsu in an instant.
Boom!
Just as Kageyama Kogetsu returned to his original position, a brilliant white sun rose from the distant sea, and a huge roar sounded...
Seeing this, Nagato and Obito Uchiha's faces turned very ugly.
The opponent had actually managed to transfer the Tailed Beast Bomb. Now they were really in a bind!
"Let's go," Obito Uchiha said in a deep voice.
"Mm." The Deva Path of Pain nodded slightly.
Poof!
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path disappeared in a puff of white smoke. The connecting tubes vanished, and the two bodies fell from the sky...
Obito Uchiha used what little chakra he had left to use Kamui and leave, clean and simple.
The Deva Path of Pain, on the other hand, waited until it was about to land, used its repulsive force to counteract gravity, and then jumped to the ground and ran.
The Human Path of Pain, having received a message from Nagato, immediately rode the monstrous bird to pick up Konan, and then the Deva Path of Pain.
As for the others, a signal flare was enough. Whether they could escape depended on their own luck.
"You come and go as you please. Do you think this is a marketplace?"
Kageyama Kogetsu deliberately let Obito Uchiha go, but he had no intention of letting the Deva Path of Pain and the others escape.
Seeing Kageyama Kogetsu emerge from the spatial passage in front of him, Nagato's heart sank to the bottom.
"I didn't expect you to know another space-time ninjutsu," the Deva Path of Pain said in a deep voice.
"The Rinnegan and the Tenseigan have different focuses. The space gate is one of the Tenseigan's abilities."
"Surrender without a fight. I promise I won't destroy this body."
"If you resist, this body will surely be reduced to ashes."
The green-white chakra cloak on Kageyama Kogetsu's body disappeared. A faint smile hung on his face, and his gentle tone was unquestionable.
Nagato was not surprised that his identity had been seen through. It would be strange if an eye that had evolved from the Byakugan and was on the same level as the Rinnegan, a Sage's eye, couldn't see through it.
If it were an ordinary Byakugan, it would not be easy to see through the Six Paths of Pain's identity.
"I hope you keep your word. Otherwise, I will risk my life to make sure Konoha doesn't have it easy."
Threatening him personally was useless; after all, his skills were inferior. He could only choose Konoha.
With that, without waiting for Kageyama Kogetsu's reply, Nagato withdrew his chakra, and the Deva Path of Pain's body fell forward...
Kageyama Kogetsu stored the Deva Path of Pain in his Daikokuten, then stepped into the spatial vortex.
He reappeared on the back of the monstrous bird. Konan and the Human Path of Pain stood on the bird's back. Because he hadn't concealed his chakra fluctuations, he was discovered as soon as he appeared.
A black rod appeared in the sleeve of the Human Path of Pain's right hand, and it stabbed behind him with one hand.
Kageyama Kogetsu swept his right hand, and the black rod was swept away. He gently slapped its back with his left hand, and a green spiritual sphere entered its body, causing the Human Path of Pain to stagger.
Having received intelligence from Nagato, Konan had no will to fight. She immediately activated her Dance of the Shikigami technique, and countless pieces of paper flew out in all directions...
"If I let you escape, what would I be?"
Kageyama Kogetsu chuckled, raised his hand, and grabbed. Strands of blue chakra were pulled from the countless pieces of paper...
Without chakra, the Dance of the Shikigami technique was broken. Konan had no choice but to reveal her form again. Her body fell downwards, but there was no panic on her face.
The monstrous bird made a turn and caught Konan.
Since she couldn't escape, Konan stopped trying. She charged towards Kageyama Kogetsu, ready to die.
However, before she had taken a few steps, the Human Path of Pain flashed and directly pressed a sharp black rod to Konan's neck.
"This... is this also a Tenseigan ability?"
The icy Konan's face stiffened, her eyes filled with disbelief, and then she became calm.
"Ah."
"Thank you for the explanation. You can do it now."
Konan had no fear. Her heart was a complex mixture of regret and anticipation.
She regretted that she could no longer accompany Nagato, but she looked forward to possibly accompanying Yahiko in the other world.
"We'll talk about your life and death later. I have to deal with the others first."
Kageyama Kogetsu's figure flashed, and he pointed a finger at Konan's forehead. A black formula seal spread from her fair forehead, restraining her movements.
Damn it, a miscalculation. I should have just rammed my neck into the black rod. Now that I'm restrained, who knows how many methods Konoha has waiting for me.
My own suffering is a small matter. If I encounter a method that my will cannot resist and leak the secrets of the Akatsuki and Nagato, it will be an unforgivable crime!
Right, I could also be used to threaten Nagato. I absolutely cannot repeat the same mistake!
"If you're a man, then kill me!"
