A normal person cannot understand how a psychopath thinks.
After seeing the crow, Sasuke Uchiha immediately forgot what he was about to do. He went back and forth, picking at the crow's flaws for a full half an hour.
The two people beside him watched as he ground the crow with the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo to dust. The expressions in both their eyes were a little off…
After Sasuke had finished all this, he said with contempt, "To think the Nii-san of this world would actually place his hope on the Mangekyo Sharingan, and even think he could rely on a crow to change another's destiny…"
Naruto Uzumaki: "…"
How long are you going to criticize a crow!
"Hey, don't insult him!" The rogue Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. "Before he died, he had already told me the whole truth…"
"Hmph!"
Sasuke Uchiha turned his head. "He also gave you the chance for your Sharingan to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyo, right? I can guess his thoughts. Did he think that the power I possess is just from a mere pair of eyes?"
"This is his will!"
Just as they were about to continue this discussion, a giant black dot suddenly appeared in the sky above Konoha!
Then, that black dot turned into seven figures, each of them scattering and landing in a corner of Konoha!
Naruto Uzumaki's gaze sharpened. "That's… the Akatsuki is invading the village!"
"Heh… they're finally here!"
Sasuke Uchiha abruptly leaped to a nearby high point, searching for a particular graceful figure among them. "If I'm not mistaken, that's that woman Konan…"
In fact, the number of Akatsuki members launching the attack was not small. This was almost an all-out assault!
Besides the Six Paths of Pain and Konan invading from the sky, there was also a frontal assault team of three at Konoha's main gate: Kakuzu, Hidan, and Kisame Hoshigaki!
They wanted to accomplish everything in one fell swoop!
Although the number of Akatsuki members was not large, they had plunged the most powerful ninja village in the world, Konoha, into the flames of war in an instant.
"Hey, you weakling…"
Sasuke Uchiha looked down at the rogue ninja. Ever since he had started training under Teacher Guy, he had never once been lost!
He stepped on the rooftop, flew up, and sneered, "Watch closely. The power our Uchiha clan possesses is unrivaled by anyone!"
The first person to appear before Sasuke was the Asura Path Pain, who was rampantly firing missiles. He simply charged up, dodged the Asura Path's offensive, and kicked the Asura Path into shattered pieces with one foot!
"The Asura Path is dead! It's Sasuke Uchiha!"
The Deva Path Pain touched the chakra sensor and said in a low voice, "Everyone else, gather around me!"
The plan wasn't going smoothly!
He had originally planned to go on a killing spree in Konoha to search for Naruto's whereabouts, but he hadn't expected a Sasuke Uchiha to pop out of nowhere!
According to the intelligence provided by Konan, that kid's power was a bit ridiculous!
However, according to the intelligence provided by Black Zetsu, there was a powerful Sasuke Uchiha, and he should have the Eight-Tails in his hands…
The Preta Path Pain was met head-on by Sasuke on his way to rendezvous. However, the taijutsu master just frowned and threw a punch from a distance!
This kind of taijutsu attack was clearly a great counter to the Preta Path, which could only absorb chakra. Its chest was blown open by the punch!
"Hmph!"
Sasuke impassively retracted his fist. One by one, the terrified Konoha ninjas carefully walked past him.
Sheets of origami airplanes fluttered over…
Sasuke's mind immediately went on high alert. He could ignore these puppet-like Pains, but he would not ignore Konan!
With his body, he still couldn't ignore explosive tags! Perhaps only after merging with the Ten-Tails could he ignore an attack of the level of the Tandem Paper Bomb!
"Tsk… the biggest rich woman in the ninja world!"
Sasuke looked at the graceful figure formed by the origami in the air and tilted his head. "Hey, can you tell me where that person named Nagato is?"
Konan's eyes lifted slightly, her gaze fixed on the Sasuke on the ground. "You actually want to pry into the whereabouts of a god…"
"It's best not to say that. It'll make people laugh!"
Sasuke pointed at himself and said softly, "After all, the Rinnegan he possesses was a light given to him by the Uchiha clan. I am responsible for reclaiming it…"
"Universal Pull!"
His palm suddenly shot forward out of thin air, sucking Konan into his hand. After grabbing her throat, he twisted her neck with a sudden force!
Sasuke watched as Konan's body turned into sheets of origami and sighed, "Tsk, a paper clone after all! Is it to protect his main body?"
In a dense forest outside Konoha.
Within a towering tree made by the Dance of the Shikigami, Nagato was hiding and commanding all the Pains to gather. Konan, beside him, said in a low voice, "My paper clone was killed. That Sasuke Uchiha also possesses the Rinnegan!"
"Is that so?"
Nagato nodded, unconcerned. "It matters not. The Gedo Statue has already accumulated enough chakra. I can use my main body to summon the Gedo Statue to fight…"
"But your body…"
"Don't worry about me, Konan." Nagato shook his head. "My time is almost up. We must revive the Gedo Statue as soon as possible, so we can realize Yahiko's dream!"
"Since that Sasuke Uchiha has appeared here, it means the Eight-Tails jinchuriki is also in Konoha! Inform Uchiha 'Madara' and Black Zetsu that he can make his move! The ones at the front, Kisame and the others, haven't they broken through yet?"
"They've already broken through the main gate."
Konan summoned a paper butterfly and said in a low voice, "But the Konoha ninjas' resistance is very fierce. At their speed, it will probably take some time for them to break through the siege and appear by the Deva Path's side… No, wait!"
"What's wrong!"
"Sasuke Uchiha has gone to deal with Kisame Hoshigaki first!" Konan said, somewhat breathless. "He was less than five hundred meters away from the Pains' rendezvous point, and he suddenly turned around and rushed in Kisame's direction!"
This wasn't strange.
Kisame's Water Style ninjutsu had always won through sheer volume. It basically had the ability to change the terrain every time, which also meant that his moves were too conspicuous.
Just as Sasuke was about to deal with the other Pains, he suddenly saw a giant water shark leap out of thin air, breaking through a defensive line of Konoha ninjas!
This was practically a beacon!
"…Hey, shark-face, last time I killed your puppet…" Sasuke Uchiha leaped down from a tall building out of thin air, stood in front of Kisame, and chuckled as he squeezed his fist. "This time, you won't be so lucky!"
"Sasuke Uchiha, the best sacrifice for Lord Jashin!"
A giant scythe suddenly swung at Sasuke's head, but he snatched it away, swung the scythe, and cut off Hidan's neck!
Sasuke glanced with disgust at the still-moving head on the ground and kicked it away. "I hate it when people interfere in my battles…"
Kisame wasn't concerned about his companion's death. He swung Samehada and grinned. "It seems you're not like Mr. Itachi. You're a merciless person!"
"You're not much different, though…" Sasuke眯ed his eyes. "Still as annoying as ever!"
