Looking at the dark thunderstorm clouds covering the sky of Konohagakure in the distance, Nagato’s indifferent face also had a touch of solemnity.

Konan who is standing next to Nagato also frowned, and there were traces of doubt on her cold yet beautiful face, “Who has forced Hiruko to such a degree? Have other members of Amatsukami also appeared on the battlefield in Konoha?”

The destructive power of the Storm Release Ninjutsu used by Hiruko is extremely high… every second several pillars of Lightning are raining down on Konoha and there are no signs of this rain stopping.

This Ninjutsu used by Hiruko is not so simple, it is an area control Ninjutsu and consumes too much Chakra, even if it is Hiruko whose Chakra is as high as a Bijuu wouldn’t use this Ninjutsu until he is in a very critical situation.

The tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito also looked at the village in the distance with a thoughtful expression.

If it is said that anyone was carefree at this moment, then it would definitely be Spiral-masked Tobi who was just playing around without a care about what was happening here, and none of the other three present here cared about what he was doing.

Soon, Zetsu appeared out of the ground, and after walking closer to tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito, and Nagato, he reported, “Fujin of the Amatsukami is unexpectedly tough, I am afraid that Hiruko alone wouldn’t be able to complete the task.”

Tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito was stunned upon hearing the situation from Zetsu and asked, “Hiruko can absorb Chakra using his Dark Release Kekkei Genkai, so how can Fujin who specializes in Magnet Release pose a threat to him??

Everyone in the Akatsuki Organization is aware that Ninjutsu-type shinobi are completely useless against Hiruko, because as long as Hiruko understands the Shape Change and Nature change of any Ninjutsu, then he can easily absorb it. Most of the Kekkei Genkai are no exception to this, and even the highly advanced Kekkei Tota Dust Release that is above Kekkei Genkai can also be absorbed by Hiruko.

This is why not only tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito, but even Nagato, Konan, and Tobi were stunned upon hearing Zetsu’s words and looked at him waiting for tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito’s answer.

Zetsu answered, “Taijutsu and Kenjutsu skills of Fujin are highly exceptional, they completely surpass the level of Hiruko, so he is suppressed by Fujin.” Then also described the battle between Hiruko and Fujin from his perspective.

Konan was surprised after hearing the battle description, “No wonder Amatsukami sent him out at the start, he is not abandoned or used as bait by Amatsukami to lure us out… he might as well be the trump card of Amatsukami!”

""

Zetsu nodded, then asked, “What should we do now?”

After a while of silence, Nagato stepped forward to the edge of the cliff, and said in an indifferent tone, “No matter who the other party is, they can’t stop me from making Konoha feel the pain… I will send the Pain Rikudo. Since each Pain is now several times stronger than they were before, they will be able to deal with most Konoha shinobi fairly easily, at the same time, they will also deal with the members of Amatsukami that are interfering in the Konoha Collapse Plan.” After speaking up here, Nagato turner to look at tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito, and said, “Madara, you should go too… capture Fujin, and I will let Human Path extract his soul to read all his memories. This time, not only Konoha and Gokage will disappear, but I will also uproot Amatsukami!”

Tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito thought about it, and nodded, “All right.”

At this time, Tobi, who was staring at a flower, suddenly got up and asked, “Oh-oh, and what about me? Am I also going to attack Konoha, hum? Hum?”

Tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito thought a little, then shook his head, “For the time being you stay here Tobi… aren’t the Gokage planning to launch a surprise attack on Nagato? Just deal with them…” after saying so, tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito looked at Nagato, and said, “Also, be careful of the leader of Amatsukami… last time Yama managed to sneak attack you and almost killed you, we don’t want that to happen this time so conserve your strength as much as possible…”

Nagato’s face darkened as soon as Yama, but after calming his anger, Nagato nodded to tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito.

Tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito said nothing more and just disappeared into a spiralling whirl.

With tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito gone, Zetsu also retracted back into the ground and rushed towards Konoha.

…

Konohagakure

Staring at Fujin’s right hand that easily caught the lightning and crushed it while being empty-handed, Hiruko’s expression changed…

Then he noticed something, and reacted, “That is… Periosteum?!”

As the smoke on Fujin’s hand cleared, Hiruko with his Sharingan noticed the layer of white Periosteum on Fujin’s right hand… and can’t help but curse inwardly, ‘Damn, his Shikotsumyaku is on a completely different level compared to Kaguya Takashi!’

After personally experiencing the Sharpness of the Bone Blade that chopped off his hand, and the toughness of the Periosteum layer that easily blocked and crushed his Lightning attack, Hiruko finally realized that Fujin’s Shikotsumyaku is on a completely different level than he has ever heard or seen.

And for the first time, Hiruko looked at Fujin as if he was dealing with someone superior to his strength here… feeling the threat to his life, the crisis of death, Hiruko suddenly felt the urge to retreat backwards… his figure flashed and he distance himself from Fujin.

His severed arm that was cut off by Fujin hung downward because of the Chimera Bud.

Puff

As Hiruko retreated backwards, Fujin committed out blood again, but he didn’t care, and after getting over the body paralyzation Fujin instantly rushed towards Hiruko as he didn’t intend to give the other party an opportunity to recover and kill him this time for sure!

With the bone blade held in each of his hands, and sharp bone spurs protruding out of his elbow, Fujin chased after Hiruko whose body was covered in Lightning and slashed at him from time to time.

Sometimes an arm would be cut, the other time, the chest would be penetrated, and on the next opportunity his shoulder was slashed, overall, injuries on Hiruko kept increasing as time passed by.

“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!” Hiruko shouted hysterically as anger was gradually growing in his heart.

Hiruko’s Steel Release which he was so proud of and thought of as impenetrable and invincible couldn’t resist even a single slash from the Bone Blades of Fujin. The Bone Blades in the hands of Fujin are so sharp that is really horrifying!

…

On the sidelines

And looking at Fujin and Hiruko one chasing to kill, while the other struggling to not die, Jiraiya and Tsunade who were far away were dumbfounded.

After a long silence, Jiraiya sighed, “I can only hope that he doesn’t become Konoha’s enemy in the future… otherwise, there is no way for anyone of us to be able to stop him.”

Each and every move and style of Fujin seems to be indefinite, they look normal and random but in reality, each move is a killer attack, and even a little bit of carelessness will result in death.

They know that Hiruko’s strength and skills have surpassed even the Gokage, but in the face of Fujin’s increasingly fierce offensive, Hiruko’s disadvantage has become more and more obvious with time… and now the situation is very clear… Hiruko is being completely suppressed by Fujin.

Many body parts of Hiruko, such as arms, shoulders thighs, ears, et cetera have already been severed by Fujin, the only reason they are still attached is that they are forcibly held together by the Chimera Buds. As for healing his body with Dark Medical Ninjutsu? Hiruko doesn’t have the opportunity to be able to do so under the constant fierce offensive of Fujin.

So, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that Hiruko has already lost this battle, he wouldn’t be able to hold on for too long. His defeat is only a matter of time and he would either be captured alive or probably die.

Tsunade’s gaze condensed, and she finally can’t help but speak, “Have you noticed it too Jiraiya?”

Jiraiya asked in confusion, “Noticed what?”

Tsunade looked at Fujin, and said solemnly, “I don’t know if you see it or not, but the combat style of this guy Fujin has too many traces of Konoha’s Combat Style… whether it is Konoha–Ryu, Uchiha Taijutsu, and Kenjutsu, Hyuga’s Gentle Fist Taijutsu as well as many other forms of Kenjutsu styles that have been popular in Konoha are incorporated in Fujin’s combat style…”

Jiraiya’s expression shrank upon understanding the implication of Tsunade’s analysis, “This… maybe–…”

But he didn’t have much time to speak as several explosions and rumbling sounds came from five corners of the Village.

Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom

Immediately afterwards, there were several roars of beasts that didn’t come from the territory of the Inuzuka Clan.

Jiraiya hurriedly jumped on the ruins of a tall building and observed the situation of the village while protecting himself from the rain of lightning pillars. Looking around, he suddenly found that several huge Summon Beasts have appeared in the village from the eastern section, and without exception, all of them seem to have the Rinnegan Pattern in their eyes, as well as Black Sticks affixed on their bodies.

After understanding what this means, Jiraiya said with a bitter and helpless expression, “Nagato… has also made his move!”
