Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 744 While it's hot, can we still have another go?
Hidden Cloud Village, the Akatsuki's underground base.

Before the giant Gedo Mazo, Naruto floated in mid-air, his Tailed Beast chakra being continuously extracted from his body.

The Gedo Mazo's chakra extraction process doesn't actually require multiple people to operate it. As the husk of the Ten-Tails, it only needs to throw the Jinchuriki in front of it, and the Gedo Mazo will instinctively extract the Tailed Beast's chakra.

As for why the Akatsuki members each stood on a finger when they extracted the One-Tailed Shukaku, Seiya can only say it was purely for show.

Afterwards, the Akatsuki suffered heavy losses, and when they extracted other tailed beasts, the ritual did not seem to be affected.

When Nagato collapsed, Black Zetsu returned to Obito's side and reported on the situation of Konoha and the others.

Konan, that traitor, exposed the location of their base, something Obito had anticipated.

Originally, relocating the site was the best way to avoid interrupting the ritual of extracting the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Unfortunately, the Rinnegan is essential for manipulating or summoning the Gedo Mazo, and Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan is currently with Nagato.

"The Gedo Mazo is the shell of the Ten-Tails, and there is no possibility of it being destroyed. With the Akatsuki's current remaining strength, it is impossible for them to stop the rescue team formed by the three great ninja villages."

Therefore, I plan to abandon this place and prioritize retrieving the Rinnegan from Nagato.

The Akatsuki organization, which was originally full of talented people, is now reduced to only Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki after several tailed beast capture operations.

The current Itachi Uchiha is unlikely to obey Obito's orders; he only wants to have a final, farewell battle with his foolish younger brother.

Once Itachi Uchiha is defeated, Obito is confident that he can turn Sasuke to his side, so Obito currently has no intention of stopping the battle between the Itachi brothers.

After all, compared to Itachi Uchiha, his younger brother was indeed much more foolish and easier to control.

When Seiya and his group arrived at Amegakure, they encountered some obstacles.

However, faced with such a formidable team, the outcasts from Amegakure and Akatsuki were utterly unable to stop them, and were easily overwhelmed in a short time.

When they found the Akatsuki's underground base, destroyed multiple defensive barriers, and successfully rescued Naruto, the young master's tailed beast chakra had been almost completely drained, and his life was on the verge of death.

Seeing Naruto on the verge of death, Kakashi and Hinata were anxious and wanted to destroy the Gedo Mazo in front of them to take back the chakra that had been extracted from Naruto. However, when their Lightning Blade and Gentle Fist struck the Gedo Mazo, they couldn't even scratch it.

"Don't waste your energy. The Gedo Mazo is the shell of the Ten-Tails. To destroy this thing, you would need at least Six Paths level power."

Why do you think the Akatsuki members would leave this thing behind and go on their own?

"It's because they know very well that you are simply incapable of destroying the Six Paths Demon Statue."

Hearing Seiya's words, Hinata looked at Seiya anxiously and asked, "Lord Seiya, do you have any other way to save Naruto?"

Hinata's strength was originally insufficient to participate in this rescue team. Temari represented Sunagakure, while Hinata was here because of her own request.

Whether it was the Six Paths of Pain before or the Gedo Mazo now, Seiya seems to know many secrets that others don't, so Hinata can only place her hopes on Seiya right now.

"I can keep him alive for now. Take him back to Konoha immediately and then use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon the Fourth Hokage."

When the Nine-Tails was sealed, the Fourth Hokage divided its chakra into Yin and Yang, sealing one half within himself and the other within Naruto. If the Fourth Hokage were resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique and then sealed his other half of the Nine-Tails' chakra into Naruto, his life should be saved.

Kakashi and the others didn't have time to ask Seiya why he knew so much. Instead, they carried the dying Naruto on their backs and headed straight for Konoha.

As for Seiya, he did not return to Konoha with Kakashi and the others, but instead turned around and chose to leave in another direction.

The village of Amegakure, where Konan and Nagato first met, is now witnessing another great battle.

To implement the "Eye of the Moon" plan, the nine tailed beasts and the Rinnegan are essential necessities, so Obito naturally wouldn't let Nagato be buried with the Rinnegan.

Obito Uchiha with a single Mangekyou Sharingan might not be a match for Seiya, or even Nagato, but he could easily bully Konan.

“Nagato’s Rinnegan originally belonged to me. Now I’m just here to reclaim what was rightfully mine.”

On the sea near the border of the Land of Rain, Obito Uchiha, who was confronting Konan, directly stated his purpose.

Now that Nagato is dead, he openly admits that both Nagato's misfortune and Yahiko's death were meticulously planned by him.

"Stop bluffing. Even if Nagato's Rinnegan originally belonged to Madara Uchiha, it's not yours because you're not Madara Uchiha at all; you're just an imposter!"

Obito was furious that his identity had been exposed, and coupled with his strong suspicion that Konan was a traitor among them, the two ended up fighting.

Just like in the original storyline, Konan, who had been prepared all along, used the funds that the Akatsuki had raised over the years to prepare a 6000 billion-dollar explosive bundle for Obito.

When the sea was parted, revealing a dense array of explosive tags, Obito was astonished to discover that the sea before him was not the real sea at all, but a disguise created by Konan using the "God's Paper Technique".

Kamui's intangibility time limit is five minutes. According to Konan's calculations, the 6000 billion explosive tags here would have been enough to blast Obito into dust.

However, Konan didn't have the protagonist's halo, and the director wouldn't allow Obito to leave the story early, so she somehow picked up a Sharingan and used the forbidden technique "Izanagi".

At the cost of losing his sight forever with one of his three-tomoe Sharingan eyes, Obito gained a chance to treat death as an illusion and even killed Konan, whose chakra was completely depleted.

When Obito saw Konan's body pierced by his kunai and falling from the sky, he dug out Nagato's Rinnegan and turned to leave.

Little did he know that no sooner had he left than Seiya arrived, taking with him the bodies of Nagato, Yahiko, and Jiraiya.

Since mastering the Impure World Reincarnation technique, this guy has developed a habit of "picking up corpses." Obito didn't know his stuff and only took Nagato's Rinnegan, but these corpses were all high-level materials for Seiya.

Rather than letting Orochi benefit, it's better to let him benefit.

Just as Seiya was about to pack up all the high-grade materials and take them away, he discovered that Konan was still alive.

"Well, this is a bit tricky. Should we just kill her and then use the Impure World Reincarnation to turn her into a tool?"

Or... while it's still hot, can we have another go?
