Is there actually a sensing barrier? It doesn't matter. First, let the Animal Path directly enter, and the others can rely on summoning techniques. This way, we can also mislead the opponent into misjudging our numbers.
But Kisame and Itachi seem to have entered quite easily," Konan said.
Itachi once served as the captain of Konoha's Anbu squad, so he knows the secret signals and formations of the barrier. As for me, I have my own methods. Since we're here to capture the Tailed Beast, there's no need to sneak around."
Deva Path coldly spoke, then spread his arms wide: "Now, let Konoha feel some pain first!"
As Pain finished speaking, the Animal Path was thrown into the air by the Animal Path itself, then fell directly into Konoha!
"Summoning Technique!" As soon as the Animal Path entered Konoha, it immediately used the summoning technique, bringing the other five Paths of Pain, along with Konan, into Konoha.
"Scatter!" With a command from Deva Path, seven figures simultaneously used Body Flicker Technique, leaping to different locations!
"Invaders! Only one target, at the Western Gate, Location D!" In the Konoha barrier squad, the barrier master responsible for opening the barrier shouted loudly to the other ninja members.
"Only one person? Who's so bold..." The ninja in the barrier squad joked, then put down their cards and headed to the location to check.
But just as they stepped out of the room, they heard a huge explosion in the distance. In the next moment, smoke billowed...
"Pat, pat, pat..."
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed through this empty hall. Sasuke had returned to the Hidden Grass Village, to Orochimaru's base.
After turning a few corridors, he arrived at the storage room where experimental bodies were kept. In the dim room, faint light flickered intermittently from a water tank.
"You've come... So, Orochimaru has already been defeated by you?"
Sasuke approached the last water tank. A voice came from inside. Sasuke looked at the tank and said, "Yes, I'll release you first."
"Crack!"
Sasuke slashed a gap in the water tank with his sword, water immediately spilling out. After a moment, a naked man with white hair and sharp fangs crawled out of the water.
"Finally out, thanks, Sasuke," Hozuki said as he surfaced.
He sheathed the Kusanagi sword, then turned to look at Hozuki sitting on the ground. "Alright, now find some clothes. We're leaving immediately. You're the first."
"I'm the first? Who else?" Hozuki asked.
"We still need to find two more... Jūgo in the northern outpost and Karin in the southern outpost," Sasuke replied.
"No way..." Hozuki said reluctantly, "I don't have any good feelings about them."
"Stop the chatter. Follow me," Sasuke said coldly, ignoring Hozuki.
At the southern outpost, which held the experimental subjects captured by Orochimaru from various places, Sasuke and Hozuki easily infiltrated. When the prisoners in the cells saw their figures, they immediately began to discuss excitedly.
"Is it really you...?" Karin, wearing old-fashioned glasses, looked at the approaching duo, her eyes seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.
"What are you doing here?" Karin asked.
"Come with me, Karin. Orochimaru has been defeated by me. Your abilities will be very useful to me," Sasuke said. Karin's incredible perception and unique physique, which can quickly restore chakra and injuries for herself or others, were abilities Sasuke had long coveted.
"Um..." The usually cold Karin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Had a really hard time finding you," a cold voice suddenly sounded as Sasuke was about to ask Karin.
The space twisted, and in the next moment, Uchiha Obito's figure appeared in the scene!
"Who are you...?" Sasuke, sensing the strange way the newcomer appeared, instinctively placed his hand on Kusanagi and looked at Obito with guarded eyes.
"This isn't a place for talking. Come with me first," Obito said without waiting for Sasuke's question, acting as if it was obvious.
"Who would follow you, this mysterious guy?!" Sasuke roared, drawing Kusanagi and rushing toward Obito.
"Shh..." Nothing happened. The Kusanagi sword, along with Sasuke, was simply pierced through Obito's body.
"What's going on?" Sasuke hadn't yet figured out what had happened. As his body passed through, the corner of his clothes was caught by Obito.
"No one can oppose my decision!" Obito said coldly. A vortex erupted from his right eye, instantly pulling Sasuke into his eye socket, making him completely unable to resist.
"Who are you... What did you do to Sasuke?!" Hozuki shouted urgently.
"Don't worry, he's fine. I just want to talk to him. You can wait here for his return..." After saying this, Obito's body also disappeared instantly.
"So strange a ninjutsu!" Konan sweatdropped. "That masked man's chakra suddenly appeared, then disappeared just as suddenly. I couldn't sense where his chakra went at all?!"
"This is..." When Sasuke opened his eyes again, he inexplicably found himself in a space that looked quite surreal. The sky was pitch black, and the uneven stone ground looked eerie.
"Uchiha Sasuke, I've been looking for you ever since your fight with Itachi..." At this moment, Obito's figure appeared before Sasuke.
Sasuke shot him a wary look, eyes full of caution. The mysterious person, the terrifying ninjutsu — all made Sasuke alert.
"First, let me introduce myself. I am also a survivor of the Uchiha clan. You may have heard of my name. I am Uchiha Madara..." As he spoke, Obito took off his mask under the dim light of the space, revealing only the three-tomoe Sharingan.
"Hmm!"
In the next instant, Sasuke's eyes suddenly changed as he looked at Obito with incredible shock. The three-tomoe Sharingan fused into the unique Mangekyō shape of Itachi, and in the next moment, black flames enveloped Obito's body!
It's Amaterasu! That guy, Itachi!!
"Ugh!" Burned by Amaterasu, Obito gritted his teeth, enduring what seemed to be a soul-burning pain. His mask fell to the ground, and he rolled on the floor in agony. Despite this, Obito desperately covered his face with his hands, lest Sasuke see his true face.
"He's Uchiha Madara! Tenkawa was right — he came looking for trouble himself, and he's been hit with Itachi's Amaterasu! Uchiha Madara is about to die!" Seeing Obito's painful state, Sasuke's lips curled into a victorious, ferocious sneer.
But then, to Sasuke's incredible surprise, Obito's body slowly turned transparent and disappeared.
