Hidden Leaf Village.
Uchiha Obito was facing an increasing number of Leaf Village ninjas. Due to the masked man's peculiar abilities, Tsunade and the Third Hokage could only keep a vigilant eye on him, preventing him from harming anyone else as long as he didn't make a move.
Suddenly, Uchiha Obito entered the Kamui dimension.
The Third Hokage immediately shouted, "Be careful around you!"
Before the Third Hokage could finish speaking, White Zetsu emerged from the ground behind Kakashi, using Wood Release to bind him. White Zetsu quickly shouted, "Tobi, the Flying Thunder God user has appeared near the Gedo Statue."
After speaking, White Zetsu immediately disappeared into the ground.
"Damn..." Kakashi, suddenly attacked, was shocked and quickly gathered Lightning Chakra in his right hand, ready to use Chidori to cut the vines binding him.
"Kakashi!"
Might Guy, seeing Kakashi attacked, opened the Eight Gates in an instant and charged towards him.
The next second, the space in front of Kakashi distorted, and Uchiha Obito appeared, reaching out to pluck Kakashi's left eye.
Bang!
Might Guy's fierce kick aimed at Obito passed through his body, instead hitting Kakashi and shattering the Wood Release vines around him, sending Kakashi flying with the force.
This beast!
With the Sharingan in hand, Uchiha Obito glanced at Might Guy, deciding not to stay any longer, and disappeared into the ground, vanishing from the sight of the others.
The Flying Thunder God user had appeared near the Gedo Statue; he needed to return quickly.
"Kakashi, are you alright?"
Might Guy, seeing Obito leave, hurried to the side of the heavily injured and bleeding Kakashi, concerned.
Tsunade checked Kakashi, glaring at Might Guy angrily, "He only lost a Sharingan; otherwise, he was fine. But thanks to your kick, his left arm and two ribs are shattered. You almost killed him with that kick!"
A weak Kakashi nodded, clearly agreeing with Tsunade's words. He also knew that without Guy's kick, the masked man could have done who knows what next.
"I'm sorry!" Might Guy apologized quickly, not daring to argue with Tsunade.
"Don't apologize to me, apologize to Kakashi!" Tsunade snorted, turning to the other injured. Kakashi would survive, but the other Leaf Village Anbu were severely injured and needed immediate treatment.
If only Shishou were here.
Tsunade thought, but she knew Shishou was fighting the Akatsuki to distract the masked man and couldn't help right now.
Tsunade began loudly directing medical treatments as Shizune rushed out to assist.
"Kakashi, I'm sorry," Might Guy said awkwardly to Kakashi.
"It's okay, Guy, you were trying to save me," Kakashi weakly waved his hand.
"You're too kind, Kakashi!"
"Don't hug me, my bones will break again..."
The Third Hokage stood in thought about White Zetsu's words before gathering the Anbu to leave the village and investigate. The Flying Thunder God user was fighting the Akatsuki; he needed to monitor that situation.
Meanwhile.
"Does anyone live above?" Shishou asked, pointing to the top of the massive cave.
The Six Paths of Pain were taken aback, then realized Shishou was concerned about collateral damage. Their tone softened, "No, this is beneath the forest in the Land of Rain, no one lives above."
Hearing this, Shishou nodded, "I see. In that case, I'll use a Wood Release: Birth of the Trees as a sign of respect."
With that, Shishou clapped his hands.
Upon hearing Shishou prepare to use Birth of the Trees, the Six Paths of Pain and Kisame immediately tensed, alert.
Starting with a Birth of the Trees was unprecedented.
Clap!
Shishou clapped his hands and disappeared.
Pain: "..."
Kisame: "..."
After a moment of realization, they understood they'd been tricked.
"Where is he?" Uchiha Obito emerged from the space beside them, asking Pain and Kisame.
"He just left!" Kisame replied calmly, glancing at Obito.
Suddenly, the Six Paths of Pain collapsed, unmoving.
Uchiha Obito's eyes widened and he vanished.
Leaving a bewildered Kisame behind.
"Leader, what's going on?"
Then the fallen Six Paths of Pain also disappeared.
Kisame: "..."
Land of Rain, Amegakure.
Boom!
The highest tower in Amegakure exploded violently.
Shishou appeared on another tower, holding Konan. Before heading to the Gedo Statue, he had infiltrated Amegakure with a marked White Zetsu, locating Nagato.
Seeing the Six Paths of Pain at the Gedo Statue, he knew this was the best time to ambush Nagato. However, Konan had detected him.
After a brief skirmish, knowing Konan's weakness, Shishou swiftly captured her while Nagato retracted his focus from the Six Paths of Pain, using Shinra Tensei on Shishou.
The encounter lasted mere seconds.
"How did you find me?" Shishou asked, holding Konan in front of him, smiling at her stunning face.
Konan, with a sealing tag on her forehead, resembling a beautiful zombie, turned her head away, silent. Her body was covered in oil Shishou had doused her with and sealed with a tag, immobilizing her.
Captured in one move, Konan felt deeply humiliated.
"Release Konan."
The Deva Path Pain appeared at the edge of the tower, anger in his voice. The remaining Paths joined him, all six Rinnegan eyes fixed on Shishou.
"So that's how you found me, using the Sharingan to control White Zetsu!"
Uchiha Obito appeared beside Pain, holding a dead White Zetsu, voice cold. He had never considered that Shishou might possess the Sharingan.
And it was not just any Sharingan; it must be a powerful one to control White Zetsu for so long.
Konan looked at Shishou in shock upon hearing this.
Wood Release, Flying Thunder God, Poison Bugs, Sharingan, Giant Summoned Beasts.
How many cards does this guy have up his sleeve?
"Heh, looks like you figured it out." Shishou removed his contact lenses, revealing his Mangekyo Sharingan.
"As expected, Mangekyo Sharingan!"
"Who are you? Why do you have Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Obito asked in disbelief. He had wiped out the Uchiha Clan, leaving no survivors!
"Do you think I'll tell you that?"
Shishou looked at Obito as if he were an idiot.
Then, turning to Deva Path Pain, he said, "How about a gamble?"
