The Wind-Controlling Swordsmanship from Under One Person

Chapter 239 Unmasking Obito Uchiha and Unlocking the Bone Plating

Upon seeing Xiao Nan, Qin Ye's aura of blood paused slightly, but his words still lacked warmth: "There's nothing to talk about. If you don't want to die, leave now."

His killing intent remained undiminished, locking onto the three people around him.

A palpable sense of oppression descended, making even the surrounding air feel thick and heavy.

Obito Uchiha stared intently at Qin Ye, then turned to Konan without turning his head and said coldly, "Did Pain send you? Don't waste your energy. There's no way we can cooperate with this person. Let's attack together and finish this quickly."

Xiao Nan stood still, the papers fluttering gently in the air. She looked at Qin Ye, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

Perhaps it was because this person had once saved her; besides Nagato, he was the only person in the Akatsuki organization who had given her a favorable impression, even though he hadn't been a member of Akatsuki for very long.

Qin Ye didn't feel like one of those monsters and rogue ninjas in the Akatsuki organization nowadays, but rather like a true comrade, just like the comrades when Yahiko was still a member when the organization was first established.

Only then could their ideals truly be called 'dawn'.

Though naive, it is the true light.

Therefore, she really didn't want to become enemies with Qin Ye.

Ignoring Obito, Konan stepped forward and earnestly advised him:

“Night, listen to my advice. Tailed beasts are of no use to you except to cause destruction. Come back with me and give the tailed beasts to Pain. He said he won’t hold you accountable. You don’t know the hand seals, do you? I can teach you slowly later.”

As the killing intent that had locked onto her slowly receded, a glimmer of hope flashed in Xiao Nan's eyes.

Just as she was about to press on and continue persuading him, she heard Qin Ye's emotionless voice.

“Konan, go back and tell Nagato that his wish will not come true. Every path he walks was paved for him in advance, including his eyes.”

"And the one who paved the way was him." Qin Ye pointed his sword at Uchiha Obito, a sharp and mocking glint in his eyes: "And Uchiha Madara."

"What!?" Xiao Nan's eyes widened instantly, and she turned her head sharply to look at the man wearing the spiral mask, her eyes filled with shock.

He and Madara Uchiha?
This statement clearly means that the man is not Ban!

This information struck Xiao Nan like a thunderbolt, so much so that she didn't even have time to think about how Qin Ye knew that Nagato was the mastermind.

"Who are you anyway?"

Faced with Konan's questioning, Obito Uchiha did not answer, but his Sharingan under the mask moved slightly.

A gentle breeze stirred his auspicious cloud robe, but it couldn't dispel the somber atmosphere.

If Qin Ye's strength only made him feel troubled, then the secrets that the other party knew made him feel more wary than ever before.

The same question echoed in his mind.

Who is this person?

"Konan, we'll talk about this later." Obito Uchiha's voice came through the mask, deep and suppressed: "The most important thing now is to capture this person. Don't let your emotions get the better of you!"

A tense atmosphere filled the air. Qin Ye slightly raised his long sword: "His name is Uchiha."

Before he could finish speaking, Obito Uchiha suddenly sprang up, his robes leaving a trail of afterimages in the air, clearly intending to interrupt the secret Qin Ye was about to reveal.

At that moment, amidst a flurry of paper scraps, a figure blocked Obito Uchiha's path—it was Konan, who had used the Shikigami Dance technique.

"No one is allowed to lay a hand on anyone until this is explained clearly!"

Her voice was cold and clear, and her eyes, painted with purple eyeshadow, were fixed on Uchiha Obito. It seemed that if this man dared to continue making a move, she would not hesitate to attack him.

Obito Uchiha's Sharingan, hidden beneath his spiral mask, narrowed slightly, gleaming with a dangerous light.

If Nagato weren't still useful, he would have loved to kill this stupid woman right here and now.

The situation reached a stalemate.

Deidara stood at a distance, his arm broken, watching the standoff with great interest, forgetting even the pain in his body.

Such a complex love triangle is much more interesting than a fight.

Facing the questioning gaze from Nanato, Qin Ye's lips curled into a smile as he pointed at Uchiha Obito and said:

"This guy is an Uchiha clansman who is disguised as Uchiha Madara and is called Uchiha Obito. The real Uchiha Madara is long dead. Their purpose in giving the Rinnegan to Nagato was to have Nagato use the Rinne Rebirth Technique to revive Uchiha Madara one day and implement the Eye of the Moon Plan."

Upon hearing this, the paper suddenly began to flutter rapidly, and Konan abruptly turned her head to glare at Uchiha Obito, the shock in her eyes gradually turning into icy rage.

She knew about the Reincarnation Technique; it was a forbidden technique that came at the cost of the caster's life!
This guy wants Nagato dead!
As for why she listened to someone else's words, you can tell from the silence of the person in front of her. Moreover, the Eye of the Moon Plan is a secret known only to her, Nagato, and this fake Uchiha Madara within the entire Akatsuki organization.

Knowing such a secret at night, it's clear she couldn't be lying, and there's no reason for her to deceive her.

Obito Uchiha's gaze pierced through Konan like a blade, heading straight for the figure standing behind her with a sword in hand. His voice, hidden behind the mask, carried an unprecedented gravity:
"Who are you anyway?"

At this moment, Obito Uchiha was even more horrified than Konan.

These top-secret plans should have been known only to the deceased Madara and Zetsu, but the person in front of him not only knew everything, but also seemed to have witnessed their plot firsthand, which sent a chill down his spine.

He now harbors extreme suspicions about Qin Ye's identity.

Qin Ye ignored Obito's questioning and slowly said to Konan:

"Neither Nagato's Tailed Beast Core Deterrence Plan nor the Uchiha's Eye of the Moon Plan can achieve true peace. There is only one way to achieve peace—unification!"

"Only when the ninja world is unified, political power is centralized, and the root causes of conflict between countries are eliminated, will there be no more war in the world, thus bringing true peace."

"If Nagato is interested in this, I can help, but on the condition that you give me the Gedo Mazo. Oh, and one more thing, I have a way to undo the damage that Nagato's use of the Rinnegan has caused to his body, so that he can be healthy and live a long life."

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Nan's eyes sparkled, clearly indicating that she was tempted.

She didn't understand the concept of unification, but the last sentence, which promised Nagato health and longevity, truly touched her heart.

For years, she watched helplessly as Nagato's life was slowly drained by the Rinnegan.

Yahiko is dead, and Nagato is her last bond. She is willing to give anything to help Nagato recover.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"It is true that unification will bring peace."

Just kidding, this is the wisdom of our ancestors.

“No.” Konan shook her head: “I mean, eliminating the damage the Rinnegan causes to the body.”

"Of course it's true," Qin Ye said confidently.

"Ha!" Obito Uchiha suddenly let out a cold laugh: "Konan, you're not really stupid enough to believe him, are you? This world is already rotten to the core. If we want peace, only the Eye of the Moon Plan can achieve it. So what if there are some sacrifices for it? I think Nagato will understand."

"Hmph, whether it's real or fake is none of your business, you fake." Xiao Nan's paper wings suddenly unfurled, carrying a hint of threat. She turned to Qin Ye and continued, "Ye, since that's the case, come back with me and repeat these words to Nagato again."

"Okay." Qin Ye nodded. "I'll go to Amegakure after I finish my business."

If I could use my persuasive skills to get Nagato to give me the Gedo Mazo, it would save me a lot of effort. "Hmph, foolish lies, die!" Obito Uchiha suddenly sprang up, his Sharingan beneath his spiral mask emitting a crimson light.

He completely ignored Xiao Nan's obstruction and charged straight at Qin Ye. His black robe left a trail of afterimages in the air, and the black iron rod in his hand carried a sharp sound of air being torn apart.

"If you could really kill me, you wouldn't need to say so much." Qin Ye smiled calmly and charged forward with his knife.

Swords and clubs clashed, and a battle was about to break out.

In close combat, even with the Sharingan's dynamic vision, Obito Uchiha was no match for Qin Ye.

Each flash of the blade forced him to withdraw his attack and use a feint to save his life.

If it weren't for Shenwei's power, his head would have already rolled to the ground by now.

Kamui is a formidable opponent, but he doesn't have a very good suppressive effect on those with strong physical skills, such as Qin Ye and Might Guy. Instead, he can be restricted, since in close combat, strength, speed, and technique are the key factors.

Kamui's biggest weakness is the moment it materializes!
Taking advantage of the moment when Obito Uchiha materialized his attack, Qin Ye's right arm, which was holding a sword, suddenly erupted with violent blood energy, shattering the wooden vines that were wrapped around it, and at the same time, he slashed at Obito Uchiha's chest.

Poof——

The dull thud of the long sword tearing through flesh was chilling. A hideous wound burst open from Uchiha Obito's left shoulder to his lower right abdomen, and blood gushed out like a fountain. He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

Kneeling on the ground, Obito Uchiha covered his bleeding wound, his Sharingan beneath the mask fixed on the figure standing with a sword in his hand.

Thick, materialized blood energy surged across his body, making him resemble a demon from hell.

Knowing that his mission was unlikely to succeed, Obito Uchiha acted decisively, disappearing into the ground without a trace.

Although he could win, it would still be difficult to keep Obito alive, so Qin Ye had no interest in digging three feet into the ground.

He casually flicked the blood off the blade, his gaze sweeping like a razor's edge towards Deidara in the distance.

Upon seeing this, the latter froze, then immediately sculpted a large clay bird that flew away.

"Well, since Ban is gone, there's no need for us to fight anymore. Even if we were to fight, we should wait until after you've finished negotiating with the leader, okay?"

Qin Ye ignored this 'genius' and sheathed his sword.

He nodded to Xiao Nan, told her he was going to Amegakure, and then slowly disappeared into the shadows.

Xiao Nan watched his disappearing figure, thinking about what he had said earlier, and let out a deep breath.

"Go back first."

Her cool voice dissipated in the wind. Before she finished speaking, she had already transformed into countless fluttering pieces of paper, flying towards the Land of Rain.

She had to convey what Ye had said to Nagato as soon as possible, word for word.

On the other side, Deidara scratched his head, grimaced as he picked up his severed arm, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a small group of people lurking suspiciously in the woods.

He snorted coldly, still feeling indignant, and immediately controlled the large bird to fly above these people, hurling C123s down with a crackling sound, a twisted look of pleasure on his face.

Bai Lang and his men from Tuzhuzhu Village, who had come to take revenge on Qin Ye, were terrified as they watched the clay bombs raining down on them. They didn't even have time to run before they were engulfed by the violent explosions.

"You dare ambush me? Art is an explosion—drink!"

……

[World Favor +10%]

[With a world favor rating exceeding 50%, and a firm commitment to reaching 'Mastery', the next foundational rune will be unlocked.]

[The player can choose to master one of the following: 'Adjustment', 'Wind of Recovery', or 'Bone Coating'.]

After Xiaobai devoured the Six-Tailed Rhinoceros Dog, the world's favorability reached 51%.

After reviewing the effects of the three keystone runes, Qin Ye selected 'Bone Plating'.

Bone Plating: After being attacked, a layer of bone will rise on the body surface to resist subsequent attacks. The strength of the bone is constant based on the degree of resolute fusion.

The effect is neither particularly strong nor weak, but it's at least better than the previous two.

"Hiss~~ What a fascinating creature." Orochimaru appeared out of nowhere, his golden vertical pupils fixed on Shiro.

The latter immediately bared its teeth, revealing sharp white teeth, and its six tails bristled like a peacock's tail.

Recalling his previous fate, Orochimaru wisely took a half step back, but still wore a playful smile on his face. This white-haired fox's temperament was exactly the same as that of Manda, who always demanded sacrifices.

"How many tailed beasts are we still missing?" he changed the subject.

Qin Ye turned his head away: "Four? What's wrong?"

Akatsuki has the Two-Tails, and most likely the Five-Tails is also in their possession. There's also the Seven-Tails, whose fate is unknown, and the Nine-Tails, whose whereabouts are unknown.

"How are you going to steal the tailed beast from Akatsuki? You can handle the others, but Pain, heh heh." Orochimaru chuckled sinisterly, his words carrying a hint of warning—Pain is a tough nut to crack.

"You don't need to worry about that," Qin Ye said nonchalantly.

Orochimaru nodded slightly, but did not continue the topic.

He changed the subject, saying, "Do you have any more Holy Blood? Give me another bottle, and in exchange, I can provide you with information about the Nine-Tailed Fox."

"You've used up all the ones I gave you before?" Qin Ye raised an eyebrow and looked Orochimaru up and down.

Judging from his state, he doesn't seem to have mastered the Six Treasures of the Immortal Thief.

The amount he gave was enough for one person to master the Six Treasuries of Immortal Thieves.

Orochimaru didn't offer much explanation, simply spreading out his pale hand in a noncommittal manner:

"Hmm, it was a bit of a waste."

"Tell me the news first."

"According to my intelligence, that brat Nine-Tails is in the Land of Hot Water. He's accompanied by someone who, though stupid, is quite strong. It won't be easy for you to snatch Nine-Tails from him."

The Land of Soup.
Qin Ye nodded slightly, took out a container containing holy blood from his pouch, and tossed a small bottle to Orochimaru.

Seeing the other person's greedy gaze fixed on the container, he said disdainfully, "Once you achieve the body of a saint, you can take as much saintly blood as you want, even drain yourself dry. Have some ambition."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru awkwardly withdrew his gaze.

On second thought, that makes sense.

He tucked the small bottle into his sleeve, but suddenly froze as he turned around.

If that's the case, then what about the holy blood he wasted in his previous experiments? (°°)
