Or perhaps a half-human, half-cursed spirit?
Originally, this was just a concept; if it were to be realized, it would require many years of in-depth research.
But just now, Obito witnessed a human being unleashing the power of a cursed spirit!
He was absolutely certain that the aura he felt was unlike any other human's!
He desperately wanted to know what had happened and how the other party had managed to do it.
Once he grasps this secret, just imagine the destructive power and lethality that an army of White Zetsu, infused with the power of cursed spirits, could unleash!
Unfortunately, the other party rejected the offer to join Xiao.
Moreover, even if the other party joins Akatsuki, they might not be willing to reveal that secret.
More importantly, what if Payne accidentally kills someone later?!
Obito was getting anxious, so he took a deep breath and made a decision.
"Are you sure you want to do this? What if Nagato finds out..."
He will never know.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
In the blink of an eye, Zetsu and Obito vanished from their spot.
In the town.
After the initial panic, most people have calmed down.
Tsunade sat by the roadside, her expression somber, but her body had stopped trembling.
Shizune, who had washed herself thoroughly to ensure there was no blood left, was now treating Tsunade's wounds.
Because the incident happened so suddenly, Tsunade was also injured while protecting Shizune.
Of course, given Tsunade's strong physique and medical ninjutsu, these were all superficial injuries.
However, she couldn't handle it herself, so she had to ask Shizune to do it.
"Lady Tsunade, are you feeling better?"
After the treatment was completed, Jingyin wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
"Well, hard work."
"Lady Tsunade..."
"Ok?"
"Akagi-kun is really a good person."
To avoid implicating other innocent people, they took the initiative to attack and lure away a large and powerful enemy. What a spirit of sacrifice this is!
Silently, Shizune prayed for the two of them, hoping they would be safe and sound.
Then suddenly a loud bang came from afar, and the huge explosion once again frightened many people.
Even Tsunade's expression turned somewhat serious this time.
But since they were just strangers who had met by chance, she didn't know the other person at all, and she wasn't sure how much of what the other person had said was true and how much was false.
They had no idea where the enemy came from or what their stance was.
Although she joined the other party's sect in a daze, as she said, she would never admit it.
There's no reason to help now.
and...
Can she really help?
Looking down at her hands, which were trembling slightly again, Tsunade sighed helplessly.
However, at that moment, Shizune suddenly screamed, waking her up!
"Mute!"
Turning her head, she discovered that it was a furtive black-robed figure whose appearance she couldn't make out that had attacked Shizune.
This action completely ignited Tsunade's long-suppressed anger!
Do you really think she's made of clay?
Anyone dares to mess with her!
Enraged, Tsunade unleashed a punch.
Strangely, she didn't feel any physical contact at all; instead, she passed right through the black-robed man.
As for Shizune, she has disappeared; it seems she was teleported away by some kind of ninjutsu.
After doing all this, the man in black robes seemed to be afraid of Tsunade and immediately began to run away.
"Want to run?"
Tsunade laughed in fury and immediately gave chase.
Tsunade was fast, but no matter how she attacked, it had no effect.
But Tsunade did not give up. She would not let Shizune go, no matter where she went.
And so, the two chased and fled, crossing two streets in the blink of an eye.
"Hehe, that was interesting, but goodbye."
Suddenly, the man in black stopped and made a sarcastic remark in a very flippant voice.
Tsunade panicked when she saw the opponent's figure rapidly becoming indistinct.
"Painful Heavenly Kick!"
With terrifying strength, he raised his right foot high and, taking advantage of the height of the jump, suddenly dropped down.
With a loud bang!
The entire house collapsed instantly!
But something strange happened: what rolled down from the collapsed house wasn't bricks and stones, but rather what looked like torn...paper.
Suddenly attacked, Konan, who was left behind, immediately used the God Paper Technique to hide Nagato in the inner room.
After landing, Tsunade immediately looked around, and after confirming that the black-robed man was not there, her heart sank.
But soon, the woman in front of her caught her attention.
She hadn't forgotten the scene of white paper flying everywhere.
Houses built of paper?
Could that be an ordinary person?
More importantly, the woman was wearing the same clothes as the people who had been led away by Shinji Akagi earlier!
coincidence?
How can it be!

Once she calmed down, Tsunade immediately realized that the man in black had deliberately lured her there.
Their purpose is still unknown, but they certainly have ill intentions!
That encounter was so long ago, so long ago that even now, face to face, Tsunade didn't recognize Konan, let alone connect her to the war orphans who followed the three of them in the Land of Rain many years ago.
What about Xiao Nan?
Did she recognize Tsunade?
You couldn't tell from her indifferent expression.
Just as the two were facing off, Obito appeared beside Nagato.
What's happening outside?
"It's Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. I don't know how she found this place," Obito lied with one eye open.
Nagato frowned, feeling that it was impossible for anyone to see through Konan's disguise of the God Paper Technique so quickly, yet he couldn't figure out why Madara would lie to him about this.
Moreover, the ninja world is so vast, and it's Tsunade, the princess of Konoha, who might happen to have some way to counter the God Paper Technique.
"In that case, kill her here." Nagato's eyes were cold.
Normally, Obito would never stop Nagato, but not this time.
"I just received a message from Zetsu that a large number of Konoha ninja are on their way. We should retreat first."
"This place is so far from Konoha Village, even if there were reinforcements, it wouldn't be possible for them to arrive so quickly."
"These people didn't come from Konoha. They just happened to be killing cursed spirits in a few surrounding villages and rushed over as soon as they heard the commotion."
Could it be such a coincidence?
Nagato frowned again.
"It doesn't matter, no matter how many more people come, the result will be the same."
"I know, but what then? With so many people dead, Konoha will definitely start a major investigation and become more vigilant, which will be detrimental to Akatsuki's development and our future plans."
Obito calmly analyzed the pros and cons, as if he had already guessed that Nagato would say this.
Nagato is not an impulsive person, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in the Land of Rain and endured for so long.
Everything he did was to ultimately realize his own, Minami's, and Yahiko's ideals.
Is it worth it to insist on staying and killing everyone here?
Nagato relaxed his furrowed brows. "You're right. It's not time to declare war on the Five Great Nations yet."
Become!
Obito also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was somewhat confident, if Nagato really insisted on going his own way, then he didn't have any other good options. He couldn't afford to break ties with Nagato at this time and ruin their relationship.
"Then let's go. I'll take you away first, and Xiao Nan will understand."
