Chapter 278 Arriving in Time

"Tsk tsk, will we soon see the iconic scene of six hundred billion explosive tags?"

Thinking of that fiery girl with purple hair, a slender figure, a lip ring, and a belly button piercing, Hinata Kaze felt a surge of passion. He immediately switched places with his Blood Shadow clone and set off to protect the poor girl whose companions had all perished.

The sky over the Rain Village was overcast and the wind was biting. More than half a month ago, the drizzle that had been shrouding the village for years had begun to fall intermittently, and there seemed to be a faint glimmer of dawn breaking through the thick clouds overhead.

However, on the border coastline, Xiao Nan's inner gloom was thicker than the dark clouds in the sky, with no glimmer of hope in sight.

Before his sacrifice, Nagato placed his last hope on Naruto. At that time, Konan also inexplicably accepted Naruto completely. Unfortunately, the subsequent events forced Konan to flee with Nagato's body.

After returning to Amegakure, Konan, besides properly handling Nagato's body, setting up defensive barriers and traps, also gathered intelligence on Konoha to see if Naruto could achieve what he said: resolve hatred and bring peace.

However, Konan was very disappointed with the situation in Konoha. Naruto Uzumaki couldn't even protect himself, so it was clear that he couldn't be relied upon.

Therefore, Konan has been feeling very gloomy these days. How can she find a peaceful path to realize Yahiko and Nagato's dream of peace? It is no longer realistic for her to collect the tailed beasts and form tailed beast weapons on her own.

"Nagato, Yahiko, what should I do?"

With a silent sigh, Xiao Nan pulled herself together from her chaotic thoughts. At this moment, she still needed to focus on dealing with the enemy in front of her!

The mysterious man, who called himself Madara Uchiha, said to Konan in a condescending manner: "It seems you're not going to tell me where Nagato is, and you won't hand over my Rinnegan either."

Konan's gaze was fixed on the mysterious figure, her tone calm yet firm, "Those are Nagato's eyes! I will not let you defile Nagato's eyes. Those eyes are the treasure of this country and village, the key to bringing peace to the ninja world!"

"Nagato's eyes?"

The mysterious man let out a disdainful sneer, and then began a long, rambling self-deprecating monologue.

His original plan didn't go smoothly; he thought himself invincible but was repeatedly crushed. Obito was eager to utterly defeat Konan in every way to gain inner satisfaction.

As expected, Obito's words greatly shocked Konan, causing her to stagger for a moment. But just as Obito was calmly preparing to watch the shock and anger appear on Konan's cool face, something unexpected happened.

In the past, Xiao Nan might have been willing to communicate verbally, trying to extract more information from the other person. But now, all she wanted was to kill the guy in front of her.

Although shocked by the sudden news, Konan managed to suppress her shock and quickly regain her composure, launching an attack when Obito was caught off guard.

Without a word, a large amount of paper suddenly emerged from Xiao Nan's body. These pieces of paper flew in the air and quickly formed a pair of huge wings behind her.

With a flap of her wings, the sound of the wind was left behind; Konan's figure was as agile as a true angel. In the blink of an eye, she had already closed in on Obito, and the pieces of paper, like sharp blades, attacked the masked man with a fierce killing intent.

Faced with Konan's selfless attack, Obito merely sneered disdainfully, seemingly unconcerned about it. Then, an invisible vortex formed from his face, its powerful suction seemingly threatening to engulf Konan along with all the white paper.

However, just when Obito thought he had succeeded, a violent explosion suddenly occurred out of nowhere. Terrifyingly high-temperature flames instantly engulfed an area of ​​dozens of meters in radius, and in an instant, all figures vanished, leaving only scattered fragments of paper.

A few seconds later, Obito's disheveled figure suddenly appeared on the sea, but he was no longer the composed man who had once looked down on everything. His clothes were tattered, and one of his arms was missing. His once arrogant voice was now tinged with frustration and anger.

"I underestimated you. Thinking about it carefully, you are after all..."

"Go to hell with your stupidity!"

Konan showed no intention of listening to Obito any further; she directly reached out and attacked him.

Obito initially didn't care about Konan's attacks. He believed he had figured out Konan's fighting style and wouldn't give her another chance to hurt him.

However, what happened next threw him into a real panic. He discovered that the ocean beneath his feet was actually a disguise made of Xiao Nan's white paper.

Suddenly, the sea beneath his feet was torn open with a long gash, which quickly split into an abyss. On both sides of the abyss were endless pieces of paper, which almost filled half of the ocean.

Losing his footing, Obito's body plummeted uncontrollably. To his horror, the bottomless sea of ​​white paper was filled with countless explosive tags. A rough estimate suggested that even all the explosive tags in the entire ninja world combined wouldn't equal the number here.

Taking a deep breath, Obito wanted to hide in another dimension to escape these terrifying papers.

However, Konan reacted quickly, directly manipulating more than a dozen explosive tags to stick to Obito's body. If he had insisted on entering the Kamui dimension, the explosive tags that entered with him would probably have still left him with nothing but bones.

Faced with this dilemma, Obito had no choice but to change his strategy, using Kamui to transform himself into a Hollowfied state to withstand the explosive damage from the exploding tags.

Fortunately, Obito reacted quickly, and the flames from the explosion passed right through him as if they were illusions. He only breathed a slight sigh of relief after completing the transformation, but Konan's next words sent shivers down his spine.

"I expected you would use blurring, but your ability can only last for 5 minutes."

To eliminate you, I've prepared 600 billion explosive tags for you here, enough to keep them detonating for a full 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Upon hearing Konan's words, Obito's face beneath his mask turned deathly pale. For the first time, he realized that some women were not to be trifled with.

There was only enough time to cover the eyes of his mask before the powerful explosion occurred.

Countless explosive tags detonated in succession, the powerful impact causing the seawater to churn and thick smoke to obscure the sky, creating a scene resembling the end of the world.

Just as Xiao Nan had predicted, the powerful explosion lasted for a full ten minutes, and the aftershocks lingered for quite some time after the explosion ended.

whoosh whoosh

Kneeling helplessly, Xiao Nan stared at the gradually calming sea and muttered to herself.

"I didn't expect it to take so much chakra. Madara should be dead by now."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Nan felt an extreme sense of danger coming from behind her. She tried to dodge quickly, but her weak body was no longer under her brain's control.

"Not necessarily!"
