Naruto: My Sharingan is about to burst!

However, neither side made a move, and the once lively scene fell into silence, with only the light rain continuing to fall.

The reason why this situation occurs is...

Firstly, because Pain was no longer confident that he could defeat the enemies in front of him, let alone capture them.

Secondly, in Uchiha Kakuzan's view, the Six Paths of Pain still have some use. In the future, they will need to collect the Tailed Beasts and revive Uchiha Madara on their own initiative. Given that Uchiha Kakuzan is a dangerous enemy, Uchiha Madara will be revived sooner than before.

Uchiha Kakuzan's goal was to defeat Uchiha Madara and then copy the unique eye techniques of Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan: Ten'ai Kansei and Limbo: Border Jail.

Just as the two groups were facing off, suddenly, the Hell Path and the Hungry Ghost Path grabbed the Animal Path standing next to them, then flung him away and threw him towards the direction of Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village).

As if still worried, Pain, who had maintained a cold and aloof demeanor and remained silent, raised his hand as the Animal Path took flight, casting Shinra Tensei on the Animal Path, sending it flying like a cannonball into the distance.

Uchiha Kakuzan was very familiar with the various abilities of the Six Paths of Pain, and he was also very clear about the abilities of the Animal Path.

Upon seeing Pain's actions, Uchiha Kakuzan immediately realized what was happening and said with interest, "Oh? He's trying to escape."

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Kakuyama seemed to remember something and looked at the beautiful Konan next to him.

Since Pain, the main patriarch, is already running away, Konan, who is next to him, will probably run away with him as well.

At this moment, Konan was still unaware of what was happening; she was simply looking at the Six Paths of Pain and the wood clones of Uchiha Kagakuyama on the battlefield with some surprise.

Although they had only been in contact briefly, these wooden clones were able to fight Pain's Six Paths to a standstill, and even appeared to have the upper hand on the surface.

Of course, Konan, who knows the Six Paths of Pain, knows that they haven't used their full strength yet. Moreover, Pain, the strongest among them, hasn't even used his signature moves, such as Planetary Devastation and Super Shinra Tensei.

Moreover, the strongest state of the Six Paths of Pain is when they cooperate with each other to bring out their unique ninjutsu.

However, Xiao Nan also knew that the opponent's next battle would be fought with mass-produced wooden clones.

Meanwhile, their true selves were watching the battle below with great interest from beside them.

From his own perception, Uchiha Kakuzan's condition did not decline at all after creating a large number of clones. In other words, the chakra he gave to those wood clones was only a tiny fraction of what he gave himself.

Moreover, Konan suddenly realized something: the person standing next to her was the head of the Uchiha clan. What was the Uchiha clan famous for in the ninja world? Of course, it was the renowned Sharingan.

The reason those two Uchiha clansmen were able to entangle with Pain for so long was because of the various strange and powerful abilities of their Sharingan.

As the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Kakuzan only used a wood clone at this time, without even revealing his Sharingan. In other words, Uchiha Kakuzan's wood clone was probably just a probing act, and his true strength was not revealed at all.

So when Konan saw Uchiha Kakuyama suddenly turn his gaze to her, she immediately shuddered. She didn't understand why this important figure would be so interested in someone as unknown as her.

Uchiha Kakuyama looked at Konan standing beside him. Washed by the rain, she looked somewhat pitiful. Under her wary gaze, he suddenly spoke:

"Konan, do you want to revive Yahiko?"

Konan's brain completely shut down after hearing what Uchiha Kakuyama said.

What? Resurrect Yahiko? He has a way to resurrect Yahiko?

Also, how did he know about Yahiko? And how did he know my name is Konan?

Xiao Nan's brain suddenly felt overwhelmed. Just who was this person in front of her?

Why are you so clear about your own affairs?

Could it be that he can really revive Yahiko?

Does that mean I have to pay some price? He couldn't possibly revive Yahiko for no reason.

In that instant, Konan thought of many things, after all, what Uchiha Kakuyama said had a huge impact on her.

Actually, Konan knew of a way to be resurrected, which was Nagato's Rinnegan.

It was only after Nagato developed his Rinnegan further over the past few years that he learned it had this function.

However, when Nagato told her, she felt no joy whatsoever, because the price of using the Rinnegan to revive the dead was simply too high.

Chapter 233 The Price of Resurrection

Chapter 233 The Price of Resurrection

While the Rinnegan possesses the ability to revive the deceased, the price is extremely high: the user must sacrifice their own life. Its side effects are comparable to the Reaper Death Seal, ultimately resulting in death.

The difference is that after using the Reaper Death Seal, the user's soul enters the stomach of the Shinigami, while after using the Rinnegan's resurrection technique—Outer Path—Rinne Rebirth Technique, the user's soul enters the Pure Land, just like a normal death.

In the original story, after Pain invaded Konoha, he caused a large-scale death of the villagers, including Kakashi and Shizune.

However, because they had all died not long ago, still had bodies capable of containing their souls, and their souls had been collected by the Hell Path after their deaths, Nagato was able to revive so many people when he used the Outer Path—the Samsara Rebirth Technique.

In the end, when Madara Uchiha was resurrected, only one person was resurrected.

However, whether it's resurrecting one person or many, those who use the Reincarnation Technique ultimately pay the price with their lives.

In other words, Obito Uchiha briefly reached the Six Paths level, which is why he was still alive and kicking for a while after using the Rinne Rebirth technique.

Actually, it was Masashi Kishimoto who gave Obito Uchiha a power-up, making his bag stacked up to overflowing.

First, he fell from the Six Paths level, and after becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, the Ten-Tails was extracted from his body. At this point, Obito Uchiha already had the conditions for certain death.

Then, Black Zetsu, essentially making use of waste, possessed Obito Uchiha's body and used it to complete the Rinne Rebirth technique, reviving Madara Uchiha. One more death added.

Finally, he joined Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura in fighting the final boss, Kaguya Otsutsuki, before finally dying at her hands.

In other words, Obito Uchiha was like Kakashi in that he used his life to accomplish three things that were destined to kill him, and in the end, he saved Kakashi's life and then happily went to the Pure Land with Rin.

Speaking of which, Kaguya Otsutsuki, that thousand-year-old recluse, was quite pitiful. First, she was sealed away for a thousand years by her two filial sons. After finally getting out, she was still tricked by the eldest son, the Sage of Six Paths, and then sealed away again.

During the time she was resurrected, she pitifully killed one person, who was already on the death list: Uchiha Obito.

But that's a digression; let's get back to the topic of resurrection.

Since the price of resurrection is too high, it can be said to be a life for a life, so how could Konan possibly use the life of Nagato, who is also her close friend and family member, to exchange for Yahiko's life?

Moreover, after Yahiko's death, the grief-stricken Nagato has turned to the dark side. In his view, only by making everyone in the world feel his pain will the world be filled with people who desire peace.

Therefore, later on, whether it was collecting the tailed beasts or attacking Konoha, he always carried out the same actions.

However, under Naruto's persuasive words, he gave up his own wish and his life, resurrected the dead people of Konoha, and placed all his hopes for world peace on Naruto.

Actually, Konan didn't have such a big wish in her heart. She just wanted to quietly stay by Yahiko and Nagato's side and be with them.

After Yahiko died for her life, Konan only had Nagato as her closest friend and family.

But now, Konan has learned about the resurrection from a stranger named Uchiha Kakuyama.

Although Konan didn't want to believe it, the person who said those words was the head of the Uchiha clan.

Even the impossible, when spoken by him, would make people think deeply.

Moreover, this concerns the resurrection of Yahiko.

Konan is willing to try anything as long as the cost isn't Nagato's life.

That's why Konan reacted so strongly after hearing what Uchiha Kakuyama said. In her heart, she had also fantasized that if the price of reviving Yahiko wasn't Nagato's life, she would not hesitate to do it, even if it meant she could never become a ninja again, or she would go blind or deaf.

In such a short period of time, Xiao Nan seemed to have a brainstorming session, thinking about many, many things.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Kakuzan, who had been watching Konan the whole time, saw her ever-changing, unpredictable expressions and knew that he had achieved his goal, so he smiled slightly.

Just as Konan composed herself and was about to speak, Uchiha Kakuzan spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Don't worry, I mean you no harm. I'll wait for you here until midnight tonight, then I'll go back. If you're interested, come find me."

Konan was completely confused by what Uchiha Kakuyama said. She didn't understand why they had to meet at midnight when she was right there.

Just as Konan opened her mouth to speak, suddenly, with a bang, Konan disappeared from Uchiha Kakuzan's sight, leaving only wisps of white mist.

If we push the timeline back a little,

Suddenly, the Hell Path and the Preta Path of Pain grabbed the Animal Path who was standing with them, and then the two of them exerted their strength to throw the Animal Path towards the direction of Amegakure.

Even the most aloof Pain, the Deva Path, raised his hand the instant the Animal Path was thrown into the air, and used Shinra Tensei on her, pushing her even further away.

Accelerated and thrown high into the air, the Animal Path instantly moved away from the battlefield. After drawing an arc in the air, the Animal Path, having already adjusted its posture, formed a hand seal in mid-air—the Summoning Technique.

As the Animal Path used its summoning technique, with a bang, her summoned beast—the Yatagarasu—was summoned beneath her.

The Animal Path, which had gained a foothold on the Yatagarasu, looked back at the battlefield behind it, took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and then pressed its palms down—Summoning Technique.

After the Animal Path used the Summoning Technique, six familiar figures appeared on the Yatagarasu: Pain and Konan.

After the animal realm was freed from the battlefield, they used a spirit summoning technique to bring the remaining people from the battlefield back to them, thus freeing them from there.

After all, finding the bodies of these six Paths clones on the battlefield was quite troublesome, especially since there was also Yahiko's body and Konan. Therefore, the Animal Path summoned them all as soon as it left the battlefield.

Chapter 234 Hostility and Goodwill

Chapter 234 Hostility and Goodwill

At this moment, Konan also realized what was going on and finally understood why Uchiha Kakuyama had said those things for no apparent reason.

He actually figured out Payne's intention just from that one gesture.

In other words, if Uchiha Kagami had wanted to stop them at that time, Pain wouldn't have been able to escape the battlefield so easily.

This made Konan deeply wary of Uchiha Kakuyama.

At this moment, Pain, who was standing next to Konan, also noticed her unusual behavior. While Pain was engaged in battle with the wood clones, he had actually noticed Uchiha Kakuzan standing next to Konan.

This discovery also made Pain very anxious. Although Uchiha Kakuzan was standing next to Konan and did not do anything to harm her, Pain knew very well that although Konan's ninjutsu was good, she could use paper ninjutsu at will.

However, they were still no match for Uchiha Kakuzan, this uninvited guest.

Therefore, for Nan's safety, Payne made the decision to retreat.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The main reason is that Pain discovered that even if he could defeat the Uchiha clan leader, he would not be able to capture them.

Moreover, there are two uncertainties on the battlefield: the two Uchiha clansmen who are currently receiving treatment.

Given their skill level, if they recover to a certain extent and join the battlefield, Payne feels it will be even more troublesome.

Therefore, he decided to leave the battlefield. If those Uchiha clan members tried to pursue him, his Akatsuki members wouldn't be easily defeated. Furthermore, although Amegakure was a small ninja village, it still had some ninjas.

If they really catch up, Payne and his team still have the home-field advantage. Moreover, he still has many trump cards up his sleeve.

Therefore, Pain, who was now standing on the Yatagarasu, immediately noticed Konan's unusual behavior and asked with some concern:

"Konan, what's wrong? Did that Uchiha Okayama hurt you?"

Konan was still pondering the credibility of Uchiha Kakuyama's words when she suddenly heard Pain's words. She immediately snapped back to reality, shook her head, and said...

"It's alright. That Uchiha Kakuyama didn't lay a hand on me, and I feel that the head of the Uchiha clan doesn't seem to have much hostility towards us."

When Pain heard Konan's words, and after recalling Uchiha Kagami's actions earlier, he somewhat agreed with what Konan said.

Pain was still somewhat self-aware. Although Uchiha Kakuzan was very protective of his clansmen, when they actually fought, he was all bark and no bite, only using the Wood Clone technique and not even activating the Uchiha clan's famous Sharingan.
