Chapter 212: Is That All? 【67】
The paper bomb, imbued with Konan's chakra, was instantly obliterated.
"So powerful..."
Before her consciousness faded along with her chakra, the only thing she could sense was Feng Ye's chakra, which seemed even stronger than that of Nagato and 'Uchiha Madara'!
Back in her physical body, Konan immediately opened her eyes and turned to Nagato, her voice grave as she said, "My paper clone's chakra is gone, and the paper bombs were likely destroyed."
"..."
Nagato's eyes narrowed, and he closed them, deep in thought.
Below, in Konoha.
Seeing Feng Ye effortlessly block the countless paper bombs falling from the sky, the ninjas heaved a sigh of relief and quickly dispersed throughout the village, ready for battle.
After scattering the paper bombs, Feng Ye furrowed his brows, sensing two chakras descending from above and over a hundred more approaching from underground.
"Perception squad, there are enemies approaching from below," Feng Ye said, glancing at Hinata Hyuga below.
Hinata immediately activated her Byakugan and began to gather the perception squad, with all the Konoha ninjas on high alert, warily eyeing the underground.
As the chakras underground were all identical and sensed as White Zetsu, Feng Ye left them to the Konoha ninjas to handle and flew up to confront the two powerful chakras descending from the sky.
Unlike the uniform chakras underground, these two falling from the sky were distinct and exceptionally strong.
"The Six Paths of Pain?" Feng Ye mused.
With a few flashes, he identified the two falling figures and narrowed his eyes. In an instant, he vanished, appearing right before Deva Path Pain.
Deva Path Pain's Rinnegan also locked onto Feng Ye.
"So fast..." Nagato thought, his first encounter with Feng Ye, even if it was through remote control of the Paths of Pain.
Should he use the Almighty Push to control Feng Ye first, or restrain him with the Planetary Devastation? Or perhaps he could have the Human Path assist in a sneak attack and try to take Feng Ye out?
As these thoughts flashed through Nagato's mind—
Feng Ye was already upon him.
"Planetary Devastation!!!"
Without hesitation, Nagato, through Deva Path Pain, raised his hand and unleashed the Planetary Devastation, while the Human Path prepared to counter any attack from Feng Ye.
If Feng Ye dodged the Planetary Devastation, he might seize the opportunity to strike at the Human Path. Being unable to fly, the Human Path would be in grave danger, so Deva Path would have to be ready to use the Almighty Push to rescue the Human Path, and then...
Bang!!
Nagato's train of thought abruptly halted.
He watched as Feng Ye collided directly with the Planetary Devastation, distorting the invisible repulsive force into a twisted shape, like a balloon subjected to immense pressure, before it exploded.
Snap!
Feng Ye grabbed Deva Path Pain by the neck, his fingers tightening slightly and snapping the neck instantly. The body crumbled under the force of the chakra.
In the next moment, Feng Ye's hand blade slashed down, a golden streak of energy ripping through the air and cleaving the Human Path's body in two.
"..."
Nagato fell into deep thought.
Konan, seeing his expression, did the same.
After a few seconds—
Nagato turned to Konan and said, "...It seems the distance to my physical body is too great. Deva Path Pain couldn't receive enough of my chakra, which weakened the Planetary Devastation."
Chapter 212: Is That All? 【67】
"So..." Konan turned to Nagato and asked, "Shall we go back?"
"Mhm..."
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After shattering Deva Path Pain and Human Path Pain, Feng Ye continued to scan the area for Uchiha Obito and the remaining Paths of Pain, but he couldn't sense anything.
He watched as the fragments of Deva Path Pain, which had been falling downward, turned into white smoke and disappeared in mid-air, along with the remnants of Human Path Pain.
Feng Ye furrowed his brows, deep in contemplation.
"Is that it?"
Feng Ye descended from the sky, circling around Konoha. Aside from sensing the Konoha ninjas cleaning up the White Zetsu underground, he didn't perceive anything else.
He landed on the roof of the Hokage building, his face grim as he gazed forward.
"So, you're fcking around with me?!"
"Good."
Feng Ye took a breath, his eyes scanning Konoha before settling on a particular individual. In a flash, he appeared before the person.
It was an upper ninja from the Intelligence Division.
"Hokage-sama!"
The upper ninja, who had been cautiously sensing the underground movements, instinctively tensed up at Feng Ye's sudden appearance, but he quickly realized who it was and bowed respectfully.
Feng Ye, with an indifferent expression, took out a Flying Thunder God Kunai and threw it to the ninja. "I have a task for you. Deliver this to the Land of Rain, near the newly established Amegakure. You don't need to engage with the Amekage or enter their village."
"Yes!"
Without hesitation, the upper ninja took the kunai.
Feng Ye nodded. "Go, and make sure no one sees you."
"Hokage-sama, rest assured." The upper ninja replied confidently.
This was an easy task; even a middle ninja from the Intelligence Division could accomplish it without much trouble.
After dispatching the upper ninja, Feng Ye didn't stop there. He sent out another special upper ninja, also carrying a Flying Thunder God Kunai.
Having completed this step...
Feng Ye scanned the underground of Konoha to confirm that the White Zetsu had been cleared out. Then, he ordered the village to stand down from their state of alert, and slowly, Konoha returned to its peaceful state.
...
Meanwhile, in the Land of Rain.
The Puppet of the Animal Path among the Six Paths of Pain pressed a hand downward.
"Summoning Technique!"
The technique's seals exploded, creating a puff of white smoke. In the center of the seals lay the shattered remains of Deva Path Pain and the bisected Human Path Pain.
Seeing this, Uchiha Obito, who was sitting not far away, spoke up: "You failed?"
"Mhm..." the Puppet of the Animal Path replied in a deep voice.
Uchiha Obito let out a soft snort. "At least your main body wasn't discovered, right?"
Recently, Nagato had been developing stronger powers with his Rinnegan, and his confidence had swelled to the point where he wanted to test Feng Ye's abilities. It would be a good lesson for Nagato to suffer a setback and temper his overconfidence.
Even he couldn't handle Feng Ye's current strength.
Even with the powerful abilities of the Rinnegan and the advantage of elemental affinity, it wasn't that simple to defeat Feng Ye based on those factors alone. When the gap in strength reached a certain level, the advantage of elemental affinity became less significant.
"No," the Puppet of the Animal Path replied in a low voice. "I was controlling them from a very distant location, far beyond the Nine-Tails' sensory range... I'm returning now."
"Wait for your main body to return, and then I'll come find you. From now on, we need to plan our next moves carefully," Uchiha Obito said as he glanced at the Puppet of the Animal Path before disappearing into the black whirlpool.
