I entrust Itachi with Starfang Luo Fu and the Flame Release user Ye Cang. If Itachi can kill them both or drive them away, then I, on behalf of the Akatsuki, agree to cooperate with Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t take long—I’ll give Itachi a satisfactory reply.” Obito Uchiha, though seething with hatred for Luo Fu, deliberately feigned indifference toward him to maintain his disguise as Madara Uchiha. “Let me go test the strength of this Uchiha brat now—I’ll show him that true Uchiha power lies in the Sharingan; abandoning the Sharingan to pursue so-called sword techniques is merely a path gone astray.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire strength stemmed almost entirely from the Mangekyo Sharingan, and in his obsession with Kekkei Genkai, Obito Uchiha surpassed even Madara Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with little direct contact with Luo Fu, Obito Uchiha nonetheless assumed, without question, that his own Mangekyo Sharingan could easily overpower Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a spatial vortex, Obito Uchiha’s body was drawn swiftly yet deliberately into the space of the Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reappeared, he stood outside the ruined village, not far from Luo Fu and Ye Cang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he laid eyes on Luo Fu, Obito Uchiha’s eyes burned red with hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the onslaught of Konan’s explosive tags, Luo Fu had no choice but to pull Ye Cang into his arms, enveloping them both with a pair of pitch-black wings—solidified chakra resembling the Peacock Dharma—that shielded them from the explosions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This intimate scene only further enraged Obito Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, Hanabi had died because of Luo Fu’s irresponsibility, yet the very man responsible was now enjoying love and happiness—this he could not tolerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of brutality passed through his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a casual motion, Obito Uchiha summoned into his palm a massive gourd-shaped fan, its handle attached to a chain—the Flame Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Konan, step aside! This Uchiha brat is mine to deal with.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the Flame Fan, Obito Uchiha strode confidently toward Luo Fu after Konan ceased her barrage of explosive tags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uchiha brat, seeing this Flame Fan, I imagine Itachi’ve guessed my identity?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black wings instantly unfurled, then vanished, revealing Luo Fu and Ye Cang unharmed—as if they had felt not a single blow from the explosive tags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu studied Obito Uchiha’s Flame Fan with interest and said: “The Flame Fan—the Uchiha clan leader’s heirloom. When Madara Uchiha stormed out in anger long ago, he took it with him—and it vanished thereafter. Are Itachi trying to tell me that Itachi, holding this fan, are none other than the legendary Shinobi Asura, Madara Uchiha?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct, Uchiha brat. I never expected that after all these years, Itachi’d still recognize me at a glance.” Obito Uchiha strained to mimic Madara Uchiha’s every gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he did not realize that the Madara Uchiha he had seen was aged, frail, and barely sustained by tubes connected to the Outer Path Sasori.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And then?” Luo Fu stared at Obito Uchiha as if watching a clumsy clown. “From what I know, the legendary Shinobi Asura Madara Uchiha would never hide his face, never conceal his identity. Itachi wear a mask and clutch a Flame Fan Itachi stole from somewhere, and expect me to believe Itachi’re Madara Uchiha?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph.” Obito sneered. “My identity needs no one’s recognition, and no one has the right to recognize it. Since Itachi, Uchiha brat, are so arrogant, let me test whether Itachi possess the strength to match it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he finished speaking, Obito Uchiha charged toward Luo Fu, Flame Fan in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu casually pushed Ye Cang aside and assumed a ready stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet within his half-lidded eyes, the three-tomoe Sharingan spun violently, transforming instantly into the Mangekyo form—each eye bearing six hollow tomoe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the weakest member of Team Minato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Obito maintained an air of mystery, his true strength rested entirely on his Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without that eye, he was barely an upper-chunin at best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even that “upper-chunin” status was only achieved by exploiting White Zetsu to replace his shattered half-body with Wood Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, wisdom, strength, speed, chakra control, or hand seals—Obito was mediocre in all. His strongest trait barely met the minimum standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito knew well that his strength could not be compensated for by the brief tutoring he received from Madara Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His only chance to defeat Luo Fu lay in his Mangekyo Sharingan’s Kamui technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu had been waiting precisely for the moment Obito activated Kamui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, just as Obito raised the Flame Fan and closed in for the strike, Luo Fu’s body passed straight through Obito’s as if he were a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Luo Fu knew that in the instant their bodies crossed, a new technique had been imprinted onto his Mangekyo Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though both of Obito’s Mangekyo eyes possessed Kamui, the subtle applications of each eye differed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Luo Fu’s Mangekyo, the left and right Kamui techniques naturally diverged as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet for Luo Fu, the left-eye Kamui on Kakashi Hatake was not an urgent need at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far more critical was the right eye on Obito—its ability to phase through matter and freely enter and exit the Kamui space was what Luo Fu needed most immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though both of Obito’s Kamui eyes were identical, Kakashi’s left eye emphasized offense, while Obito’s right eye emphasized defense and logistics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu currently lacked no offensive techniques; his weakness lay in defense and logistics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he imprinted Kamui onto one of the tomoe in his right Mangekyo Sharingan,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu immediately felt a new space-time technique awaken within his right eye—alongside the pre-existing foresight inherited from Fugaku, now joined by a vast, connected dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Obito Uchiha’s Kamui space, filled with irregular cubes of varying heights, Luo Fu’s Kamui space was a perfectly flat expanse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall, it roughly resembled an imperfect “heavenly round, earthly square” pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, the highest point reached approximately five hundred meters above ground, sloping downward gradually; the ground itself was not a perfect square, measuring roughly six kilometers per side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Luo Fu’s space spanned roughly thirty-six square kilometers—an immense area, comparable to a small town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the Kamui space itself, Luo Fu could now use his right eye’s Kamui technique to instantly place himself within the dimension, leaving behind only a phantom shadow in the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Obito Uchiha’s body passed through Luo Fu, he felt a surge of triumph—and in the same instant, swung the Flame Fan toward Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Fu, prepared for this, vanished in a burst of starlight the moment Obito moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flame Fan’s ability not only reflected all ninjutsu but also controlled Wind Release, using wind to fuel fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a casual swing produced wind-based damage far exceeding the power of Kankuro’s Three-Star Fan at full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swing missed—Obito’s heart tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could retreat into Kamui space,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sudden agony erupted from his right elbow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the elbow down, half his right arm was severed by a streak of starlight that appeared from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Flame Fan could hit the ground, a large hand shot out and snatched it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Flame Fan, passed down through generations of Uchiha, belongs rightfully in the hands of an Uchiha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The searing pain of losing half his forearm caused Obito to scream—and he immediately vanished into Kamui space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadowy, insubstantial figure glared at Luo Fu, suppressing his fury as he maintained his disguise as Madara Uchiha: “Uchiha brat, I underestimated Itachi. The Flame Fan may remain in your hands for now—but next time, I will take it back from Itachi myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he finished speaking, Obito Uchiha’s figure vanished entirely within a swirling vortex of space, disappearing from the Rain Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konan witnessed the lightning-fast exchange between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only deepened her wariness toward Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madara Uchiha’s identity might be fake, but that strange ability of his was beyond even the Rinnegan’s perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in this brief clash, the man claiming to be Madara Uchiha had lost an arm—and even the Uchiha clan’s symbol, the Flame Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such power could not be ignored by Konan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Luo Fu, this brief clash yielded immense gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had he imprinted the right-eye Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan from Obito Uchiha, but he had also seized the Flame Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, though powerful, the Flame Fan did not suit Luo Fu’s fighting style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Luo Fu’s view, the Flame Fan was more like a defensive shield or a tool for channeling chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His true preferred weapon remained the chakra blade he had taken from Fugaku Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Flame Fan’s true value to Luo Fu lay in revealing the secrets of the God Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not forget—the Flame Fan’s material itself was derived from the God Tree, a fragment of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even this weapon, passed down for a thousand years and become the Uchiha clan leader’s symbol, could not be damaged by Luo Fu’s chakra blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Luo Fu’s estimation, even Indra, the Uchiha ancestor, likely lacked the ability to forge this fan. The true creator was almost certainly the Sage of Six Paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a treasure, even if unusable directly, held immense value to Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was his best key to unlocking the God Tree’s mysteries—on some level, the Flame Fan was equivalent in rank to the Outer Path Sasori, before its resurrection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya Otsutsuki had transcended ordinary concepts of life and death; the God Tree was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Outer Path Sasori could revive after absorbing the chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts—why could the Flame Fan not regenerate new life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it could not, this symbol of Uchiha heritage would prove invaluable to Luo Fu when he eventually split the Uchiha clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now was not the time to study the Flame Fan. Luo Fu severed the pale, still-gripping right hand—still clutching the fan’s handle—and tossed the fan into the Kamui space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hand, originally from Obito, was in essence derived from White Zetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Zetsu created by Madara Uchiha differed from the ancient White Zetsu formed by Kaguya Otsutsuki during the primordial age, using the Infinite Tsukuyomi to transform ordinary humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madara’s new White Zetsu fused Hashirama Senju’s cells, granting them Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Luo Fu shared the immense vitality of Demon Slayer Luo Fu, his own bloodline carried genetic defects—Demon Slayer Luo Fu’s regenerative abilities could not repair them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Hashirama Senju, who had pushed the Asura chakra to its peak—surpassing even the original Asura—possessed cells capable of fully correcting Luo Fu’s genetic flaws and granting him the potential to awaken the Rinnegan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not forget: in the Demon Slayer world, demons consumed human flesh not merely for sustenance—eating humans with special bloodlines enhanced their own power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Luo Fu needed no surgical procedures or grafting like Madara Uchiha, who stitched Hashirama’s flesh onto his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed only to absorb the flesh of those containing Hashirama’s cells—thereby correcting his genetic defects, restoring his Mangekyo Sharingan abilities, and gaining control over the legendary Wood Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hand from Obito Uchiha’s White Zetsu was the beginning of Luo Fu’s genetic correction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu would never grotesquely devour this White Zetsu arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was no cannibalistic monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Demon Slayer Luo Fu, upon awakening his past memories through the shared space, had found his former life as a demon repulsive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Luo Fu, it was merely a matter of “a gentleman stays away from the kitchen”—correcting his bloodline was too vital to risk exposure; he would simply conceal his actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, true power was what mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sensing the vibrant life force within the severed arm, Luo Fu quickly stored it within his Kamui space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished all of this, he turned to see the small figure beside him—Konan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Cang, who had been pushed aside by Luo Fu earlier, now arrived at his side and asked: “Was that really Madara Uchiha?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu smiled faintly but gave no answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were private, Luo Fu wouldn’t mind revealing Obito’s identity—but right now, Konan was watching him closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before confirming Konan’s allegiance, Luo Fu wouldn’t trust anyone lightly; in his mind, aside from Ye Cang, who was truly bound to him, both the Uchiha clan and the Hidden Leaf Village were merely tools to be used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do Itachi want to avenge the man named Miyan ?” Luo Fu cut straight to the point, asking Konan directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being betrayed once by Senjuu Hanzo, Konan and Naruto Uzumaki could no longer trust anyone easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their last innocence had destroyed the entire Akatsuki; the lingering stench of blood in this village came from the former members of the Akatsuki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a horrific cost not only twisted Naruto Uzumaki into utter darkness, but also caused Konan to shut her heart away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To win their trust through sincerity—even over several years—would be nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haven’t Itachi seen? Since then, only Konan and Obito Uchiha truly knew Nagato’s true identity; all other Akatsuki members only knew their leader as Pain—and even whether Pain was alive or dead, they didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Luo Fu’s question, Konan’s eyes flickered with pain—after all, if she hadn’t been captured by Senjuu Hanzo and used to threaten Miyan  and Nagato, how could Miyan  have willingly died on Nagato’s kunai?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain in her gaze quickly turned to hatred; Konan glared at Luo Fu: “Who else deceived our Akatsuki besides Senjuu Hanzo? Isn’t it your Hidden Leaf? And if not for your Hidden Leaf people capturing me to threaten Miyan  and Nagato, how could Miyan  have died?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu remained unmoved, his expression cold: “The Hidden Leaf isn’t united as one. If Itachi want revenge, take me to Naruto Uzumaki.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Never!” Konan’s expression changed instantly; she eyed Luo Fu warily: “Itachi came for Nagato?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came for the Akatsuki,” Luo Fu replied evasively. “Or more accurately—I came for Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me?” Konan frowned, stunned for a moment, then asked directly: “What do Itachi want from me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were for Nagato, Konan was certain this man’s goal was the Rinnegan—but for her? That made no sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Konan had seen too little of the world’s darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their childhood had been full of hardship, hunger, and tattered clothes, after mustering courage to find Jiraiya, the three of them had enjoyed a brief, happy time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya had taught them only basic chakra refinement and simple ninjutsu; as for the underhanded techniques reserved for female ninja, Jiraiya neither knew them nor would he have taught them even if he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu chuckled silently—he hadn’t expected Konan to be this naive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if my goal is simply Itachi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Konan understood fully; a flush of anger rose on her face. “Itachi’re not after Nagato?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Rinnegan is powerful, but it’s not my goal,” Luo Fu admitted honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To others, Naruto Uzumaki’s Rinnegan was a divine artifact that could instantly boost combat power—but to Luo Fu, it was a bomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think about it: how many hidden figures are already watching that Rinnegan? It’s easy to see why Luo Fu never considered taking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Uchiha Madara, who may be dead but awaits resurrection; Obito Uchiha, Madara’s puppet; Black Zetsu, who has spent a thousand years tirelessly seeking his mother’s revival, hiding in the Pure Land—appearing dead but capable of interfering in the ninja world at any moment; the Six Paths Sage, who supposedly died but still holds sway over the world…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of these beings were ones Luo Fu wished to confront now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, though the Rinnegan is powerful, it shares space with the Sharingan; he was confident that one day, his own Sharingan would evolve into his own Rinnegan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this reason, Luo Fu had never even considered using his unique Mangekyo to imprint the Rinnegan’s techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Naruto Uzumaki’s Rinnegan belonged to Uchiha Madara; though the techniques Rinnegan: Limbo and Amenotejikara were powerful and tempting, they were beyond Naruto Uzumaki’s capacity—he couldn’t even use them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Six Paths abilities? Those were standard features of the Rinnegan—far too common to waste one of Luo Fu’s own ocular techniques on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Naruto Uzumaki held little appeal for Luo Fu; in fact, he preferred not to get too close to him—after all, Nagato’s karmic ties were too heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konan, however—whether in strategic value, innate ability, or even sheer beauty—was worth Luo Fu’s effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konan didn’t know whether Luo Fu’s words were true or false.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she would never believe him on mere words, nor risk letting him near Nagato—Nagato’s condition was truly dire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoughts flashed through her mind; after a pause, Konan said: “If your goal is me, then kill Senjuu Hanzo and bring me his corpse—I’ll agree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Konan’s view, this condition was harmless either way—whether Luo Fu succeeded or failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Luo Fu eliminated Senjuu Hanzo, the Akatsuki, now reduced to just her and Nagato, could breathe again; after their earlier betrayal and the mutual destruction with the Hidden Rain Village, peace had never truly been established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, after slaughtering every Akatsuki member in the village, Senjuu Hanzo still ordered the Hidden Rain ninja to hunt Konan and Nagato relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto Uzumaki and Konan hiding in this once-Akatsuki village was a classic case of hiding in plain sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, every Akatsuki member in this village had been slaughtered—the most dangerous place was the safest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, neither Naruto Uzumaki nor Konan realized the true culprit behind the Akatsuki’s destruction wasn’t just Danzo and Senjuu Hanzo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, most Akatsuki members had died directly at Obito Uchiha’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konan, who already blamed herself for Miyan ’s death, knew well they couldn’t hide in this village much longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To end it once and for all, they had to kill Senjuu Hanzo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Konan’s strength was insufficient; Naruto Uzumaki, having fallen into a trap, had both legs shattered by countless explosive tags and could barely move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Hidden Rain ninja came knocking, even the two remaining Akatsuki members might not survive their siege.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Konan’s demand to Luo Fu stemmed more from a sense of atonement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She believed that if sacrificing herself could bring about Senjuu Hanzo’s death and remove this threat from Nagato, it might redeem some of her sins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was her capture by Senjuu Hanzo that led to Miyan ’s death; Nagato, in turn, had been forced to unleash the unmastered power of the Rinnegan—his legs blown off by explosive tags, his life force drained, leaving him gaunt and his once-vibrant red Uzumaki hair now brittle and white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Konan’s demand, Luo Fu paused only briefly before agreeing outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Senjuu Hanzo, this so-called “Half-God,” had little time left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without Luo Fu’s intervention, the soon-to-be-recovered Akatsuki would have sought revenge on the Hidden Rain Village—killing Senjuu Hanzo and swallowing the entire village whole, turning it into fuel for their resurgence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Konan had made this request, Luo Fu had no objection to personally giving the rising Akatsuki a push.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine,” Luo Fu nodded directly, before Konan and Ye Cang’s stunned gazes: “Senjuu Hanzo is already a rotting corpse. Since the Second Shinobi World War, this so-called Half-God has been terrified. If Itachi want his death as proof, wait—I’ll bring Itachi his corpse myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, Luo Fu immediately took his leave of Konan and headed straight for the Hidden Rain Village with Ye Cang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after leaving the ruined village, Ye Cang couldn’t hold back: “Are Itachi mad? That’s the Half-God Hanzo! For that woman, Itachi’re going to kill the Half-God? His poison even old Chiyo feared—and even your Hidden Leaf’s Tsunade couldn’t handle it!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu sneered: “A dead camel may still be bigger than a horse, and a tired tiger still retains its might—but ninjas are different. A ninja’s true peak lasts only a decade or so. The Half-God Hanzo? A coward who broke after the Second Shinobi World War—killing him is effortless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi…” Ye Cang gritted her teeth. In her eyes, Luo Fu had lost his mind over a woman, rushing to kill the Half-God. Though she disapproved of his recklessness, she finally sighed: “Hanzo’s poison is too terrifying. After my Burning Release completes its evolution, it might resist his poison. Then, Itachi hold off the Hidden Mist ninja—I’ll strike him myself. There might be a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu looked at her with surprise: “Why do Itachi assume I’m not a match for Senjuu Hanzo?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi…” Ye Cang snapped: “Even your Hidden Leaf’s Legendary Sannin were defeated by him—he gave them their titles! His power is nothing like the ordinary Hidden Mist ninja Itachi’ve faced before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do Itachi truly understand my strength?” Luo Fu patted Ye Cang’s shoulder. “Enough Quanshuo . This time, I’ll let Itachi witness my power firsthand. After this, Itachi’ll never doubt my decisions again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu and Ye Cang arrived in the Hidden Rain Village—one confident, the other anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Rain Village wasn’t always perpetually rainy because of Naruto Uzumaki’s Rain Tiger Self-Style Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, the Land of Rain earned its name precisely because of its constant downpour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto Uzumaki’s Rain Tiger Self-Style Technique merely harnessed the Land of Rain’s natural weather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Luo Fu and Ye Cang arrived, they immediately sensed the village’s oppressive atmosphere—like the calm before a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the towering skyscraper built after Senjuu Hanzo merged his roles as Kage and Daimyo, Ye Cang said: “Hanzo has always lived in this building. To kill him, Itachi must break through layer after layer of Hidden Rain ninja to reach the top and face him directly. We—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need for all that trouble,” Luo Fu suddenly pulled Ye Cang into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, a pair of pitch-black chakra wings burst from his back; with a powerful push off the ground, his figure shot skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luo Fu rose into the air,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Hidden Rain ninja who had been watching the two intruders instantly realized their presence and began shouting warnings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within moments, every ninja in the Hidden Rain Village surged toward the Kage Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they could gather,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu had already carried Ye Cang straight to the tower’s highest floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking through the window, as they entered the top level,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a withered figure wearing a gas mask regarded them with commanding authority: “A flying ninjutsu? I recall this is a special technique from the Star Village, requiring that so-called star to activate. But I don’t remember ever having ties to your Star Village. What are Itachi two doing here? Trying to assassinate me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Star Village?” Luo Fu smirked. As he retracted his chakra wings, his eyes instantly turned blood-red; three tomoe spun rapidly, transforming into the Mangekyo pattern in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Senjuu Hanzo understood clearly: these two, with no visible insignia, were not from the Star Village at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3987,"2026-06-21T01:08:28.363Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","797395a91e9612f77b17beb786680c888a5a56966db21c7740dfc86cd9d1d9f3","simultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-chapter-74","simultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-chapter-72",686,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-cover.jpg"]
