Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 580 Goodbye

In a dimly lit, secret room.

A woman with blue-purple hair and a cool demeanor lay quietly on a stone bed with her eyes closed.

Her complexion was rosy, and her breathing was even, like a sleeping beauty waiting to be awakened, serene and peaceful.

Click!Click!Click!

A sound like a wooden drawer being pulled open, with the sound of two pieces rubbing against each other, came from behind.

"Where am I?"

A strange male voice rang out beside the sleeping girl.

Beside the stone bed was a wooden coffin. A slightly rough hand slowly reached out and pushed open the coffin lid above its head.

"I remember...I...seemed to be dead?"

As the coffin lid was pushed open, a somewhat immature orange-haired boy squinted his eyes to adjust to the darkness around him, then scratched his head in confusion, looking completely bewildered.

It's true that I'm finished, but now...

Unable to grasp the key points, the boy shook his head.

If I can't figure it out, then I'll stop thinking about it.

"Konan!"

With a push from his arms, the boy sat up in a half-sitting position and began to survey his surroundings.

He immediately noticed the sleeping woman beside him, his expression changed, and he quickly got up from the coffin.

"Xiao Nan, wake up!"

He picked up Xiao Nan and shook her repeatedly, trying to wake his companion.

"Damn it, did Hanzo the Salamander break his promise?"

With a curse under his breath, the boy quickly checked on Xiao Nan's condition.

"Hmm...uh..."

As the boy swayed, Xiao Nan, who was in his arms, frowned and slowly opened her amber eyes.

"Nagato?"

Upon seeing the boy's familiar face, Konan subconsciously called out Nagato's name.

"Minami, are you alright?" A hint of doubt flashed in Yahiko's eyes as he began to ask.

"How come you don't even recognize me?"

"And what happened next? Did the salamander keep its promise and let you go?"

Yahiko's memory is still stuck more than ten years ago, when Minami was kidnapped by the salamander.

"Yahiko?"

As his brain slowly awoke from its long coma, he stared blankly at Yahiko's youthful face, overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

"You really are Yahiko..."

Seemingly worried that what she was seeing was an illusion, Konan reached out and gently stroked Yahiko's face, feeling the warm touch of his skin.

Xiao Nan finally realized that what she was facing was neither an illusion nor a dream.

"Um... um..."

Being treated so intimately by Konan, Yahiko, still a boy at heart, blushed and became shy and awkward.

Although I also have feelings for Xiaonan, this is just too much...

"Where is Nagato? Why isn't he by your side?"

To cover his embarrassment, Yahiko quickly changed the subject and began asking about Nagato's whereabouts.

Didn't I tell them to take good care of Xiao Nan?

Why leave the other person lying here alone?

"Nagato...this is bad!"

Upon hearing Nagato's name, Konan's face turned pale. She immediately stood up, ignoring Yahiko, and headed towards the exit of the secret chamber.

Now that Yahiko has been resurrected, what about Nagato...?

The thought of this made Xiao Nan, who had only taken two steps, sway uncontrollably, and her heart sank to the bottom.

"Hey, wait for me!"

With a shy expression, Yahiko saw that Konan was almost at the exit of the secret room, so he quickly caught up with her and began to ask what had happened.

Also, Xiao Nan... seems to have changed a lot from the girl in my memory.

If the two hadn't grown up together and been familiar with each other's presence, he wouldn't have dared to be sure whether the person in front of him was his companion.

"Can you tell me... what exactly happened to Nagato?"

Catching up with Konan and seeing her anxious expression, Yahiko, though somewhat slow to realize, sensed that something might have happened to Nagato!

"Nagato...he..."

Faced with Yahiko's question, Konan thought about all the things that had happened over the years, and the energetic Yahiko in front of her.

A thousand words welled up inside, yet for a moment, she didn't know where to begin. In the end, they turned into a single, crystal-clear tear, which slowly slid down her cheek.

……

"Tsk!"

As it slowly descended from the sky, Toshiro couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

In the blink of an eye, Obito stole a Rinnegan, and Nagato used Rinne Tensei to revive his ancestor.

This is truly... quite a show for me!

"First Generation, you really are something else~"

When he landed on the ground, he looked at the First Hokage, whose neck was being choked by Madara, and couldn't help but purse his lips.

Isn't this... Baba coming over to deliver magical magic?

It's no wonder Toshiro made such a sarcastic remark.

When the First Hokage saw that Madara had been resurrected, he rushed over without saying a word, and his purpose was self-evident.

However… in just a few blinks of an eye, his own ancestor had already captured him and even absorbed his Sage Chakra, which really made things more difficult for him.

"hehe!"

"It seems Toshiro is quite confident!"

With a sneer, Madara tossed the First Hokage aside as if throwing away trash, then turned to look at Toshiro in front of him.

Although his eyes were closed and his eye sockets were empty, he seemed to be able to see Toshiro's appearance and was examining him closely.

"If you were still a reanimated body, I have no chance of sealing you or defeating you!"

"But now, well..."

Indeed, Madara, resurrected through Edo Tensei, possessed unlimited chakra and was immune to physical damage. He truly had no confidence whatsoever in defeating him.

As for sealing... unless he creates another moon like the Sage of Six Paths, he simply cannot seal the opponent.

After all, the Rinnegan is a blood-stained net, and apart from Chibaku Tensei, he doesn't know any sealing techniques to seal it.

"oh…"

"Looks like I've been underestimated by a junior!"

With a nonchalant smile, Madara closed his eyes and began to sense the power of his newly acquired Sage Mode, while 'looking' at Toshiro, seemingly eager to try it out.

Until, Hi, who was half black and half white, appeared from behind him.

"Did you bring it?"

"certainly!"

Black Zetsu carefully glanced at the other side, then reached out and handed the Rinnegan he had obtained from Nagato to Madara.

Meanwhile, Toshiro took the opportunity to pull the black rod off the First Generation's back.

It wasn't that he didn't want to stop Madara from taking back his Rinnegan; it was just that the guy seemed so cautious, so it was probably almost impossible for him to succeed.

It would be better to take this opportunity to remove the restrictions on the first generation.

"I never imagined that one day I would face a combined attack from the Uchiha and Senju clans!"

With a swift movement, Madara pressed his hand back to the original position, glanced at Hashirama and Toshiro in front of him, and his eyes revealed an aura of self-assurance.

"However, Hashirama Senju, to me now, while not exactly a rabble, is nothing special either."
