Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 493 Self-Destruction?

"It's you, Orochimaru!"

As a base he had carefully chosen, Nagato naturally arranged some reconnaissance methods.

However, Orochimaru's ability to infiltrate still surprised him greatly.

"You're asking for it!"

With a cold snort, a fleeting, menacing killing intent flashed in Nagato's eyes.

That damned guy, at this crucial moment, he's still plotting something like this. He really doesn't know what death means.

"Spiritual Communication"

Although the giant serpent in front of him and the sneak attack from behind were close at hand, Nagato did not stop what he was doing.

It summoned the Six Paths of Pain.

At the same time, he slapped the machine beneath him with his arm.

Whoosh!

A black arrow, with a thin black rope attached to its back, deftly twisted and turned a few times before shooting towards Orochimaru behind him.

puff!

Orochimaru ignored the attack and let the arrow strike his body.

vomit!

With its mouth wide open, ignoring the interference transmitted from the arrow or the thin rope behind it, another Orochimaru burst out of its mouth.

At a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, it rapidly closed the distance to Nagato.

The Kusanagi sword in his hand was pointed directly at Nagato's neck.

For Orochimaru, whether he cuts off the opponent's neck or takes out Nagato's eyes, it's all the same result.

"Delusion!"

As soon as he appeared, the Six Paths of Pain surrounded his main body with perfect coordination, with the Deva Path even letting out a sneer.

"Shinra Tenkyo"

Whether it was Manda in front of him or Orochimaru who was already close behind him, they were all useless in the face of his Rinnegan's power.

Bang!

An invisible repulsive force repelled the giant snake in front of him and Orochimaru behind him.

But before Nagato could even breathe a sigh of relief, his expression suddenly changed.

"It's underground!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge spike burst forth from the ground beneath him, its target the immobile Nagato.

It is the tail of a myriad of snakes.

Suck!

Just as Nagato was manipulating Pain, intending to block the sudden attack, a long, scarlet tongue shot out from Orochimaru's mouth, which had been flung away.

At the same time, another Orochimaru appeared, spitting out a large number of tiny venomous snakes from his mouth.

Because there were so many venomous snakes, layer upon layer, they resembled a huge wave, engulfing Nagato.

That wasn't all. A purple snake scale the size of a washbasin detached from Manda's tail, transforming into Orochimaru's appearance, and reached out to press towards Nagato's true form.

"Ninjutsu·Four Symbols Seal"

Orochimaru truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran powerhouse who has fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the ninja world. He doesn't act unless he's absolutely sure of it, but once he does, he has already taken Nagato's reaction into account.

First, use your own body and Manda to lure out the opponent's most dangerous Shinra Tensei, then use Manda's tail for cover.

He transformed his clones into snake scales, waiting for an opportunity to activate the Four Symbols Seal, intending to seal Nagato's chakra in one fell swoop.

In this way, the opponent's clone becomes useless and poses no threat at all.

To cover this clone, he used his main body to unleash his long tongue to attack Nagato's main body, and another clone attacked Nagato's Heavenly Dao clones.

……

Under a blood-red sky, Xiao Nan watched the crows flying around her.

All I could hear were noisy cries.

Suddenly, several crows flew in flocks toward her location.

Without hesitation, several sheets of white paper detached from her body, folded in the air into several white swifts, and flew towards the crows.

"A masterful illusion!"

Watching her swift turn into a burning flame the moment it touched the other bird's crow, Xiao Nan frowned.

However, as the papers burned, a violent explosion was heard.

The illusion of this small enemy was her life's work.

To guard against the guy who called himself 'Madara', she also gathered some information about the Uchiha clan, which mentioned that Sharingan genjutsu was very troublesome.

She initially thought that some of the information gathered from the black market was exaggerated and just nonsense in order to get money from her.

Only after experiencing it firsthand today did I realize that what those intelligence reports said was true.

Before she could figure out how to break the opponent's illusion, Xiao Nan's body, which was originally floating in the air, suddenly seemed to fall apart and turned into pieces of white paper floating in the air.

"This woman's skills..."

Hidden within the illusion, Itachi slashed the enemy's neck with a single blow.

Seeing his opponent turn into a sky full of white paper, Itachi was certain that his opponent was immune to physical attacks.

This gave him a bit of a headache.

If you use ninjutsu, the explosive tags in the opponent's hand can render almost all of his ninjutsu useless.

"Should we use our eye technique?"

Touching his eyes, Itachi felt it was time to use his trump card.

At this moment, Xiao Nan had a bad feeling.

The alarm she was hiding behind Nagato was triggered.

Something happened to Nagato.

Thinking about this, Xiao Nan knew that she couldn't continue to get entangled with the other party.

Nagato's current state is simply not capable of handling overly complex situations.

"I'm sorry, Yekura!"

She no longer cared about Yekura; in her heart, Nagato was the most important person.

Her body reformed in mid-air. Although Konan couldn't see Itachi, she quickly formed several hand seals.

As she completed the printing, sheets of white paper fell off her body, and these sheets of paper began to multiply rapidly, as if multiple shadow clones had been created.

"That crazy woman!"

Looking at the black lines on the white papers, Itachi Uchiha's previously composed expression finally crumbled.

I looked at the terrifying quantity of paper, which was still increasing, especially the word "explosion" in the center of the paper.

A bead of cold sweat slid down the weasel's forehead.

Without hesitation, given the sheer number of them, he began to doubt whether his Susanoo could withstand such an attack.

The number of detonating tags in this quantity cannot be described as thousands or tens of thousands.

Is it 100,000, no… is it a million or ten million? Uh… ten million is too conservative.

Aren't they afraid of blowing themselves up too?

"Yamato, retreat!"

Without hesitation, Itachi continued to maintain the illusion on the other side, notified Yamato who was entangled with Yekura, and then left the dangerous battlefield without looking back.

"What's wrong?"

Yamato, who was sparring with Yekura, was still somewhat puzzled.

He clearly saw that Itachi had already put his opponent under a genjutsu, and although the woman had managed to evade Itachi's attack using her unique ninjutsu.

However, in his view, it was only a matter of time before Itachi defeated his opponent.

Why did some white paper suddenly appear next to the opponent? Itachi then retreated without looking back.

"Explosive tag~"

"What?"

"Explosive tags?"

He didn't quite understand Itachi's answer.

Previously, I also saw the opponent use explosive tags to block Itachi's ninjutsu attacks.

However, a mere explosive tag shouldn't pose a threat to Itachi.

"Those are all of them~"

With a slight twitch of his lips, Itachi still gave Yamato an explanation.

Then he moved away from Xiao Nan as quickly as possible.

"..."

Looking back, Yamato carefully examined the patterns on the white paper, and his face turned deathly pale.

They even wished they had two more legs so they could get away from where they were.

That many... if they all exploded at once...

Not only Yamato and Itachi, but also Pakura, who realized something was wrong, changed her expression and began to retreat as well.

Coincidentally, she was walking in the same direction as Itachi and the others.

However, neither side cared about the enemies around them at this moment, and both were fleeing for their lives as quickly as possible.

"Damn it, that woman's gone mad!"

While keeping a close eye on Yamato behind him, his expression suddenly changed. He lost his footing and almost fell off the tree.

His entire face was covered in cold sweat.

"This time we're definitely dead!"

They hadn't escaped very far at all; it was less than 300 meters.

Given the terrifying number of those explosive tags, it would be virtually impossible for them to remain unharmed at this distance.

And that woman, is she really crazy?

They couldn't escape, but she was right in the epicenter of the explosion. How could she possibly be unharmed?

Even if you want to defeat the enemy, you don't have to do it this way!

At this point, the great river was already in despair.

"Uh! Looks like I've come at the wrong time~"

A familiar male voice rang out beside Itachi. Toshiro had just landed when he heard Yamato's words that he was about to die.

He hadn't even figured out what had happened yet.

His keen intuition was already frantically sending him warning signals.

"Damn it!"

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a white shockwave sweeping towards us.

It was an explosion, a massive explosion.

Only then can a shock wave of this scale be generated.

"Walk!"

There was no time to investigate how such an exaggerated explosion could have occurred here. Toshiro's arms were draped over Itachi's and Yamato's shoulders.

He prepared to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take the two of them away from here.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ye Cang not far away.

With a faint commotion coming from behind, Toshiro knew that the shockwave had struck the surrounding trees before the sound could even register.

Following these shockwaves was a deafening roar, followed by a small mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

At this distance, Yecang probably wouldn't last more than a few seconds.

However, he doesn't have any empty seats right now!

Susanoo

As the shockwave drew ever closer, Toshiro gritted his teeth, and a red skeletal arm emerged from his body, grabbing Yokura completely in his hand.

A layer of skeleton materialized on his body, protecting him, Itachi, and Yamato together.

cough!

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Because of this delay, even with the protection of Susanoo, Toshiro still couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Time was far too short; the Susanoo he manifested was simply no match for this terrifying shockwave.
