Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 273: Gedo Statue Appeared!

Orochimaru, that guy...

He still hasn't left this place!

Orochimaru's body emerged from the mouth of a small white snake.

Standing beside Jiraiya, Orochimaru looked at Akihara Kagura and Konan fighting and sneered, "Jiraiya, your students really are more troublesome one after another..."

"..."

Jiraiya was momentarily speechless.

Although he had taken in many talented students, they had indeed become increasingly troublesome and dangerous.

Especially the most gifted one, Akihara Kagura...

At this moment, he looked just like a super villain in the ninja world...

"Sister Konan."

Akihara Kagura remained polite, with lightning constantly destroying the falling explosive tags around him. He raised his head to look at Konan and extended his finger!

"Everything is within my plan..."

A Chidori Sharp Spear, hundreds of meters long, suddenly extended from Kagura's fingertip, shooting towards the paper wings on Konan's back: "Since the first time I saw you, I've been thinking about taking Brother Nagato's Rinnegan. For this day, I have waited ten years. No matter how you and Brother Nagato resist, it will be in vain..."

The Chidori Sharp Spear pierced through the paper wings!

Konan's body became unstable and almost fell from the sky!

At this critical moment, part of her body had to turn into paper again to fill the holes in the paper wings, barely maintaining her balance!

Konan's paper wings flapped, carrying her body high into the sky to avoid the lightning strikes from Chidori Stream. Determination flashed across her face!

"Do you think everything is under your control?"

Konan extended her palm, chakra surging within her. Her gaze became resolute: "Since we were forced to come here ten years ago, I've been thinking about how to eliminate those who would harm Nagato and Pain..."

Clattering...

Countless paper pieces suddenly flew up from several nearby hills!

These pieces of paper instantly transformed into explosive tags, surging madly towards Akihara Kagura as if driven by a wind!

This was Konan's disguise using her Dance of the Shikigami technique!

She had hidden a large number of explosive tags near the Akatsuki base, intending to eliminate any enemy attacking the base one day directly from the outskirts!

Unfortunately...

Nagato was still here.

Konan couldn't make up her mind to go all out.

In fact...

There was another place nearby with even more explosive tags.

That was the lake beside the Akatsuki base. Every drop of water in that lake was disguised as an explosive tag by Konan, even the Sharingan couldn't see through it.

Unfortunately, Konan couldn't lure Akihara Kagura there.

Because Akihara Kagura's target was not her.

Now, Konan could only use the explosive tags from several nearby hills, constantly flying towards Akihara Kagura. She had to use these explosive tags to temporarily stop him and buy time for Nagato to revive the Six Paths of Pain!

"The number of these explosive tags..."

Even Jiraiya was a bit astonished, recalling the Konoha Village's military preparations during the ninja world wars: "It's enough to sustain ten ninja world wars..."

"Meaningless."

Orochimaru watched the falling explosive tags like snowflakes, with a somewhat disdainful expression. His gaze remained fixed on Akihara Kagura: "For Akihara Kagura, there are too many ways to deal with such means..."

"Sister Konan, it's raining today..."

Akihara Kagura looked up at the explosive tags falling like snowflakes mixed with raindrops in the sky. A ball of lightning appeared in his palm and shot straight into the dark clouds above!

The next moment!

Thunder roared within the clouds!

Lightning began to flash densely in the clouds, seemingly unable to contain its power, and started to spread downward!

Boom!

The lightning in the sky instantly linked downward!

Countless explosive tags were directly obliterated by the lightning simultaneously!

Lightning Release is the most suitable technique to deal with explosive tags. Even Konan had to suddenly fly aside to avoid the mighty force of this lightning!

However...

The lightning seemed to be guided, constantly spreading towards her escape direction!

Boom!

A bright light appeared in the gloomy sky!

An enormous lightning dragon, surrounded by electric light, rushed towards Konan!

"Summoning Technique!"

Nagato, on the ground, suddenly performed the Summoning Technique!

In the sky, Konan, who was being chased by the lightning dragon, instantly turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared. Her figure was directly summoned to Nagato's side.

"How is this possible?"

Jiraiya was stunned!

"Can people be summoned?"

Orochimaru squinted his eyes.

"It seems the abilities of the Rinnegan are quite peculiar…"

Akihara Kagura smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on Konan, noticing the hidden lip piercing under her lip.

That lip piercing…

It was a chakra signal receiver.

Because of that chakra receiver, Konan could be directly summoned by Nagato like one of Pain's Six Paths puppets.

"Thank you, Nagato…"

Konan gasped with lingering fear.

The wings of paper on the back of this light blue-haired woman slowly transformed back into folded paper, forming her legs again. One of her legs was bleeding, as if it had suffered a serious injury.

"It's fine."

Nagato shook his head and looked up at the lightning dragon still soaring in the sky, taking a deep breath. "The Six Paths of Pain will be revived soon..."

The King of Hell, who had been chewing behind Nagato, stopped and opened its huge mouth, allowing the Six Paths of Pain to walk out one by one.

"So it's a revival…"

Jiraiya touched his chin and nodded, then turned to Orochimaru beside him. "Hey, Orochimaru, don't forget that the information on the Hell Path can revive other puppets..."

"..."

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya and sneered. "We can leave anytime now; they probably have no interest in chasing us..."

"..."

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment but had no intention of leaving.

The three people fighting here were all his students, and this battle would determine the fate of the ninja world. Jiraiya dared not leave rashly.

Just as Jiraiya and Orochimaru were chatting, the lightning dragon in the sky suddenly descended, charging directly towards Nagato, Konan, and the newly revived Six Paths of Pain!

A burst of light suddenly emanated from the Preta Path Pain. This slightly plump puppet in the Six Paths of Pain agilely leaped up, extending his hands towards the lightning dragon, which gradually dissipated into chakra and was absorbed by him!

"Phew..."

Nagato took a deep breath.

The revival of the Six Paths of Pain put Nagato at ease, and he regained the confidence to compete with Akihara Kagura.

"I'll leave the rest to them."

Nagato's voice gradually relaxed as he directed the Six Paths of Pain to charge towards Akihara Kagura, initiating an attack at this moment!

In the next second, Nagato's expression changed abruptly!

Akihara Kagura rushed directly towards the Six Paths of Pain!

The Asura Path Pain was the first to confront him, a jagged blade extending from his back, thrusting towards Akihara Kagura!

Akihara Kagura transformed into a beam of golden light, dodging the blade, and suddenly rushed towards the Asura Path, landing a punch on its face, causing countless parts to explode from the Asura Path Pain!

First strike…

Asura Path damaged!

The Tendo Path Pain wielded a black rod, aiming to pierce Akihara Kagura's body, knowing that Shinra Tensei was useless against him and would only cause self-harm!

"Do you think my taijutsu is still the same as ten years ago?"

Akihara Kagura opened his hand, grabbing the black rod from the Tendo Path Pain, and with a flip of his wrist, he nailed the rod straight into the Tendo Path Pain!

"Shinra Tensei!"

The Tendo Path Pain instinctively used Shinra Tensei, causing his body to rapidly retreat with the aid of repulsive force, barely avoiding Akihara Kagura's attack!

This retreat…

Exposed the Preta Path behind him!

The Preta Path leaped forward, attempting to grasp Akihara Kagura's body to absorb his chakra!

Bang!

Half a black rod flew towards the Preta Path!

The plump puppet was pinned to the ground by half of the black rod!

Second strike…

Preta Path damaged!

"Not good…"

Nagato suddenly realized Akihara Kagura's progress.

This former was no longer the youth whose taijutsu was on par with his, but rather a terrifyingly powerful monster!

The Animal Path wielded a black rod, suddenly charging towards Akihara Kagura; the Human Path also launched an attack, his hand slightly extended, waiting for the opportunity to grab Akihara Kagura's body while the Animal Path distracted him!

As long as he could grab Akihara Kagura's body…

The Human Path could extract Akihara Kagura's soul!

In the next second!

Akihara Kagura dodged the Animal Path's black rod, grabbed its arm, and used its body to smash the Human Path!

A wooden spike suddenly flew from Akihara Kagura's palm, penetrating the bodies of the Animal Path and Human Path!

"Wood Release: Cutting Technique!"

Akihara Kagura raised his fingers!

With the stimulation of chakra, the wooden spikes within the Animal Path and Human Path rapidly grew, leaving them motionless!

Animal Path, Human Path, deceased!

Only the Tendo Path and the Hell Path remained.

"!!!"

The Tendo Path had to charge towards Akihara Kagura again!

Taking advantage of the Tendo Path's cover, the Hell Path immediately activated the King of Hell's mouth, extending a long tongue, attempting to retrieve and revive the four fallen Paths.

However…

The time bought by the Tendo Path was too short.

"Rasengan!"

Akihara Kagura raised his palm, pressing a Rasengan directly onto Tendo Path Pain. Tendo Path Pain's body instantly collapsed to the ground!

"This is too troublesome."

Akihara Kagura clenched his hand.

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

A beam of white light suddenly pierced through the Hell Path and the King of Hell behind it. A round hole appeared in the Hell Path's chest, and its body fell to the ground. The tall King of Hell's mouth was also instantly penetrated with a large hole, and its body slowly sank into the ground...

The Six Paths of Pain...

All destroyed!

The Six Paths of Pain launched a direct assault on Akihara Kagura, and within less than ten seconds, Akihara Kagura had eliminated all of them.

Nagato's mind hadn't even had time to devise a countermeasure before the Six Paths of Pain were all defeated by Akihara Kagura, the speed was simply too overwhelming...

"..."

Jiraiya and Orochimaru were both stunned.

Fukasaku and Shima widened their eyes.

Having just fought the Six Paths of Pain directly, they knew exactly how powerful the Six Paths of Pain were, as they were the first to confront them.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya had exhausted almost all their techniques without any hope of defeating the Six Paths of Pain, only hoping to defeat Nagato himself with a unique strategy. However, these tactics were also crushed by Nagato's absolute power.

Yet...

Akihara Kagura took less than ten seconds.

What made them most uneasy was that Akihara Kagura hadn't even used his most powerful techniques, solving everything with just Taijutsu and a couple of minor Ninjutsu...

"Little Jiraiya..."

Fukasaku took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Your student... seems to have no weaknesses... I remember he can also use Sage Mode?"

When Jiraiya took Akihara Kagura as a student, it shocked all of Mount Myoboku that the student, under the guidance of the Great Toad Sage, could directly use Sage Mode!

"Yes..."

Jiraiya nodded with a hint of bitterness.

At any other time, Jiraiya would have been proud of this student; however, now he was troubled over how to stop him...

There was no doubt that once Akihara Kagura obtained Nagato's Rinnegan, the entire Ninja world would face a terrifying catastrophe!

"Nagato, hand over the Rinnegan."

Akihara Kagura walked step by step towards Nagato and Konan, speaking gently, "I can't bring myself to forcibly dig out your eyes... As long as you willingly give me the Rinnegan, both you and Konan can survive."

"Hearing you say such things is truly ironic..."

Konan stared coldly at Akihara Kagura, raising her hand to activate her secret technique again, "A butcher who wants to destroy the Ninja world, yet claims not to be cruel..."

"Konan!"

Nagato interrupted Konan's words and stopped her movements, shaking his head slowly, "Take Jiraiya-sensei and the others away, leave the rest to me..."

"Nagato!"

Konan looked at Nagato in shock.

"Don't worry, I may not lose."

Nagato shook his head, slowly clenching his hand, his eyes becoming increasingly grim, "I just want to avoid the next battle causing harm to you..."

"Are you going to use that technique?"

Konan frowned, but did not try to stop him.

"The power of Chibaku Tensei... is not enough."

Nagato formed seals with his hands, his eyes fixed on the approaching Akihara Kagura, "Leave quickly, the upcoming battle is beyond your ability to participate in..."

In the next moment!

Nagato's palm slammed onto the ground!

This emaciated red-haired man looked at Akihara Kagura before him and let out a low growl from his throat, "Summoning Technique! Gedo Statue!"

Boom!

The entire ground shook!

The base of the Akatsuki organization seemed to collapse suddenly!

A grotesque giant appeared behind /Bleam
