Luo Fu is clearly from the Hidden Leaf Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sharingan? Itachi’re from the Hidden Leaf. If Danzo intends to strike at this old man, this old man…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice cut off abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samui Hanzo’s consciousness was instantly dragged by Luo Fu into the genjutsu of the Mangekyō Sharingan—Tsukuyomi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a fleeting moment passed in the outside world, but within the Tsukuyomi space, Luo Fu had brutally shattered Samui Hanzo’s spirit for three full days and nights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During those three days and nights, the elaborate Luo Fu technique unleashed far surpassed Uchiha Itachi’s crude method of binding the opponent’s consciousness to a cross and stabbing it repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without even mentioning other things, every form of torture—whether witnessed firsthand, recorded in history, or merely heard as rumor—from the Demon Slayer world and the One Piece world, Luo Fu inflicted upon Samui Hanzo in full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything from pipa playing, intestinal extraction, and scrubbing to the thousand-cut execution—Samui Hanzo experienced them all within the three-day-and-night Tsukuyomi space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Uchiha Itachi, who created over a dozen crosses to multiply the sensation of being stabbed by several times, dozens of times, even hundreds of times, to intensify mental damage,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu split Samui Hanzo’s spiritual form into hundreds or even thousands of copies—but each of those hundreds or thousands of Samui Hanzos endured a different torture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In essence, during those three days and nights in Tsukuyomi, Samui Hanzo endured every single torture simultaneously, moment by moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Tsukuyomi ended, Samui Hanzo remained utterly motionless, while Luo Fu, after a muffled groan, instinctively covered his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint trickle of blood seeped from the corner of Luo Fu’s eye, quickly wiped away by his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time using the Mangekyō Sharingan imprinted upon him, Luo Fu’s greatest realization was that his non-Eternal Mangekyō had an astonishingly severe backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Luo Fu shared the powerful recovery ability from the Demon Slayer world and could restore the Mangekyō’s backlash within moments, the pain of the backlash struck him without any reduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are Itachi alright?” Not knowing what had happened, Ye Cang rushed to Luo Fu’s side, waving her hand to summon over a dozen fireballs, dark red bordering on black, encircling him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu exhaled slowly. “It’s done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Cang froze. “What’s done?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Samui Hanzo,” Luo Fu said. “The so-called Half-God Hanzo is now history. It’s time to take his corpse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Luo Fu gestured for Ye Cang to release the fireballs of the Burning Release surrounding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ye Cang noticed that the terrifying chakra emanating from Samui Hanzo—just moments ago so fearsome it made her tremble—was rapidly dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Cang knew full well this was the unmistakable sign of a ninja’s death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did Itachi do?” Ye Cang suddenly realized she understood nothing about Luo Fu, the person closest to her now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu gave no answer. Instead, he walked to Samui Hanzo’s side, enveloping his palms in chakra to avoid direct contact with the toxins, then activated his Mangekyō again—his right eye’s technique, Kamui, unleashed, swallowing Samui Hanzo’s corpse into a swirling vortex of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest terror of Samui Hanzo’s poison was that even he himself could not become immune to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why Samui Hanzo always wore a breathing mask—and due to his own extreme toxicity, he had always lived in isolation. Even the most trusted Rain Ninja, for the sake of their lives, kept a safe distance from this Rain Shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this very precaution made it easy for someone like Luo Fu, who could descend directly from the sky using flight ninjutsu, to infiltrate Samui Hanzo’s chamber and assassinate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Cang never imagined that Samui Hanzo, once famed as a near-divine figure, would die before her very eyes in a way she could not comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Luo Fu kill Samui Hanzo, Ye Cang felt both elation and urgency. “Let’s go quickly. If we’re surrounded by Rain Ninja, escaping will be impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t rush,” Luo Fu waved her off. “Aren’t Itachi always curious why I made Itachi train your mind and refine your nature?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pausing slightly, Luo Fu walked toward the exit of Samui Hanzo’s room, as if walking straight into a trap, heading toward the Rain Ninja, and said to Ye Cang: “This is the consequence of insufficient nature cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment Luo Fu finished speaking, a blood-red eye with seven pupils opened instantly on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the Seven Deadly Sins spread silently from Luo Fu, expanding in all directions—up, down, left, right, front, back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust—the inherent vices of human nature—were drawn forth and laid bare by Luo Fu’s Seven Sins Eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visible to the naked eye, the Rain Ninja rushing toward Luo Fu suddenly lost control of their emotions. They should have cooperated tightly to capture Luo Fu and Ye Cang, the assassins of the Half-God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even the smallest issue triggered them into killing each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the unreasoning manifestation of wrath and envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if a comrade merely moved a fraction faster, potentially reaching Luo Fu before them, their inner envy made them unable to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They instinctively chose to eliminate their former comrades—after all, how could they let someone else claim the glory of slaying the assassin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some Rain Ninja killed each other out of envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most did so out of wrath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the slightest movement by a comrade that disturbed them ignited instant, uncontrollable rage, plunging them into mutual slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those affected by sloth forgot their duties as ninja, lacking even the will to move. Even if Samui Hanzo, leader of the Land of Rain, died right before their eyes, these ninja wouldn’t lift a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the influence of greed, even a slight edge in strength possessed by another triggered an impulse to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for pride and lust, their effects were no less severe. Pride manifested only in their mutual slaughter, but lust produced scenes so grotesque they included men assaulting men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the influence of the Seven Sins Eye, to Ye Cang’s eyes, everything within sight resembled the most horrific hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” Ye Cang’s voice trembled. “Is this the ability Itachi deliberately triggered in me when Itachi had me assist your cultivation? This power… is it really… this terrifying??”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chasing only strength without mastering the mind to wield it—these Rain Ninja are the warning,” Luo Fu said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could sense that as the Rain Ninja died, their residual chakra subtly flowed into a mysterious, unknowable space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wasn’t mistaken, that space was the realm after death—the Pure Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu could perceive this only because his eye technique bore the imprint of Uchiha Obito’s space-time technique, Kamui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to this faint sensitivity to space-time, Luo Fu had glimpsed where a ninja’s chakra went after death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, chakra was energy with a true owner. To some extent, the chakra cultivated by ninja in this world was more like borrowed power—indeed, from the very moment chakra was born within them, they had already incurred a debt to its true owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only must they repay this debt, but even their souls after death would fall into this so-called Pure Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Luo Fu’s view, the Pure Land resembled something akin to Kamui’s dimensional space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Pure Land was undoubtedly far stronger than Kamui’s space—perhaps even stronger than Amaterasu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Luo Fu dared not confirm its origin: whether it was created by the Sage of Six Paths, or had always existed as a unique space in the ninja world, later seized and controlled by the Sage as his own dimensional realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thing Luo Fu was certain of: he and the Sage of Six Paths were now locked in a true Great Dao conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only ninja world power were involved, Luo Fu would have little chance to resist. But the existence of the shared space guaranteed that, in the future, he would possess the true power to overthrow the Sage of Six Paths and his entire lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gazing deeply at the Rain Ninja dying in mutual slaughter, their souls and chakra merging into the Pure Land space that seemed fused with the entire world, Luo Fu turned to Ye Cang and said: “Now, seeing this, Itachi must understand how vital it is to refine your own mind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Cang was utterly stunned by the scene before her—the Rain Ninja, completely controlled by the Seven Deadly Sins, slaughtering each other, even ignoring Luo Fu, the assassin who had killed the Half-God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking, she nodded—then suddenly felt the world blur. The next moment, she was astonished to find herself standing in a vast, flat space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath her feet appeared as if carved from a single massive rock—but it was only an impression; it wasn’t truly rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire space contained only one corpse, one severed arm, and a thousand-year-old Uchiha heirloom: the Flame Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from these, the vast space was utterly empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky above was dark with twilight, yet strangely, an inexplicable light illuminated everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where…?” Ye Cang couldn’t help asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Luo Fu could answer, Ye Cang suddenly felt the scenery shift again. When she looked around once more, she was astonished to find herself and Luo Fu back outside the town, now ravaged by massacre and destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What was that?” Ye Cang demanded urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space-time ninjutsu was unquestionably the most elite and most formidable ability in the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato Namikaze, a commoner of the Hidden Leaf, became a feared reaper on the battlefield simply by mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique and wielding a kunai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield against the Hidden Stone Village, using kunai thrown by his teammates, Minato once slaughtered fifty jonin in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the ninja world now saw battles between S-rank and even Six Paths-level opponents, jonin were still among the most powerful fighters in the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, jonin could be decisive figures in any ninja village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instantaneous death of fifty jonin—no village, not even the Hidden Stone, could bear such a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Minato achieved this solely through his elusive space-time ninjutsu: the Flying Thunder God Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Minato’s use of space-time ninjutsu wasn’t yet fully apparent, Uchiha Obito was the perfect example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a once-weakling, merely witnessing the death of Yamanaka Rin unlocked his Mangekyō Sharingan with space-time effects: Kamui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with only one eye, Uchiha Obito dominated every battle—from jonin to Kage, to S-rank, to Six Paths-level opponents—relying solely on his Kamui Mangekyō.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, space-time ninjutsu was an absurdly overpowered ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, the only known space-time ninjutsu in the ninja world was the Flying Thunder God Technique, created by the Second Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and perfected by Minato Namikaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hashirama Senju’s reputation as a developer of forbidden techniques was no joke. Though his strength might not match his brother Hashirama Senju, the “God of Shinobi,” in forbidden technique development, Hashirama Senju’s genius was unparalleled in the ninja world’s thousand-year history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other villages recognized the power of space-time ninjutsu, but aside from Summoning Jutsu, only the Hidden Cloud Village developed a technique with crippling side effects: the Space-Time Transfer Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the ability Luo Fu just displayed—teleporting instantly across space—left Ye Cang certain: Luo Fu had mastered the second space-time ninjutsu in the ninja world, after the Flying Thunder God Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu smiled faintly. “As Itachi suspected—it is space-time ninjutsu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ye Cang had not the slightest doubt left about Luo Fu’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intimidation brought by space-time ninjutsu was this immense—the legacy of Minato Namikaze, who created the near-miracle of slaughtering fifty jonin in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu and Ye Cang had just appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konan descended slowly from the sky, her wings formed of countless white paper sheets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she hovered several meters above the ground, she looked down at Luo Fu and Ye Cang. “Why did Itachi return so soon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Samui Hanzo is dead,” Luo Fu said, reaching out casually beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure wearing a breathing mask instantly tumbled out of an invisible space vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Konan saw the figure, her eyes narrowed sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring Luo Fu and Ye Cang entirely, she descended rapidly and landed beside Samui Hanzo’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After examining the body, Konan’s eyes instantly reddened, filled with hatred. “This bastard—if not for him, Minato wouldn’t have died, and Nagato wouldn’t have lost both legs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Konan spoke, even Ye Cang could feel the intense emotional surge radiating from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, Konan finally calmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Luo Fu with complex expression. “I don’t know how Itachi did it, but since Itachi avenged Minato and Nagato, I will honor our agreement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s hesitation, Konan added: “But… could Itachi wait a while? I cannot leave the Hidden Rain Village for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu answered without hesitation: “My goal is Itachi—but I don’t necessarily have to take Itachi with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wary, Konan said, “Even if I acknowledge our prior agreement, I will never harm Nagato.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then our positions align,” Luo Fu smiled. “I promise I will never force Itachi to harm anyone. Everything Itachi do will be guided solely by your own will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doubt deepened—was Luo Fu plotting something? Konan eyed him sharply. “What do Itachi intend to use me for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need Itachi to swallow my blood. For the next few years, I will interfere with none of your decisions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konan frowned suspiciously. “Is that really your goal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi needn’t doubt it,” Ye Cang chimed in. “His sole interest is Itachi. Your organization is in dire straits now. Taking his blood will elevate your power to a level capable of protecting your comrades.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were anything else, Konan might have hesitated—but gaining strength and the ability to protect her comrades struck directly at her weakest point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her heart, it was precisely because she was too weak that she had fallen into the trap of the Samehada and Konoha, leading to Minato’s death and Nagato’s ruin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If true power could be gained—even if it demanded a price—Konan, whose emotions had been taut for so long, would not hesitate for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope Itachi keep your promise,” Konan murmured, casting one last reluctant glance behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Konan’s action made Luo Fu’s expression turn strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certain the direction she looked was not where Naruto Nagato was resting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to admit: after the brutal lessons of the past, Konan had grown far wiser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even under these circumstances, she remained fully alert toward Luo Fu and Ye Cang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people might unconsciously assume that, after making such a decision, Konan’s gaze would naturally turn toward Naruto Nagato’s location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Luo Fu’s true aim were Naruto Nagato, then a simple deception would have exposed their true intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not yet reached the future state where brute force alone ruled—where all strategy and cunning meant nothing before absolute power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s ninja were truly masters of deception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every move, every gesture, was designed to mislead the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring Konan’s small trick, Luo Fu extended a hand, drew a kunai, flipped it, and sliced his fingertip, forcing out several drops of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Luo Fu did not know—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konan’s gaze was not merely meant to mislead Luo Fu and Ye Cang. She was deliberately feigning reluctance, guiding them to believe that direction held Naruto Nagato—when in truth, it held none other than Uchiha Obito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though during his brief clash with Luo Fu, Uchiha Obito had suffered a crushing defeat—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>losing the Uchiha clan’s ancestral artifact, the Flame Fan, and having his arm severed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after returning to his underground base in the Land of Grass, he easily restored his arm by transplanting a White Zetsu’s limb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal humans who transplanted Hashirama’s cells would be consumed by backlash, often turning into trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who else but Uchiha Madara had created the Second-Generation White Zetsu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To some extent, Madara’s understanding of Hashirama’s cells surpassed that of the entire ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Orochimaru, the ultimate researcher, could not compare to Madara in his knowledge of Hashirama’s cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Zetsu he engineered posed almost no threat to ordinary ninja; for the Uchiha, the tissue of the Second-Generation White Zetsu was nearly a perfect cure for Mangekyo Sharingan side effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Uchiha Obito, losing one arm meant only a brief return to his underground base—then he returned with a new arm, nearly free of side effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his clash with Luo Fu had revealed too much—he had shown none of the ferocity expected of the legendary Shinobi of the Warring States.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Naruto Nagato and Konan firmly believed Uchiha Obito was not the true Uchiha Madara, and that his presence in Akatsuki concealed some unknown scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of these changes, Naruto Nagato and Konan had, without speaking, placed Uchiha Obito at the opposite end of the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that direction—was precisely the one Konan had just looked toward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, Konan had her own calculations against Luo Fu and Ye Cang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her view, neither Luo Fu nor the man claiming to be Uchiha Madara—the one wearing the Uzumaki mask but acting pathetically—was trustworthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, why not quietly stir conflict between the two sides? Better yet, if they could destroy each other, that would be ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad: not only did Luo Fu have no intention of targeting Naruto Nagato, but once he sensed Konan’s scheming, he would never fall for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal this time was simple: plant his own pawn while Akatsuki was at its lowest point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu chose Konan—and the reason was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Akatsuki, Naruto Nagato trusted only one person: Konan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akatsuki had suffered a devastating blow. All members, and everyone connected to them, had been slaughtered when Konan, Minato, and Naruto Nagato were betrayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this village was Akatsuki’s base, those who lived here were not merely ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, Akatsuki would recruit top S-rank missing-nin and become a force even the major villages dared not ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Naruto Nagato’s heart, the only person he trusted was Konan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To some extent, controlling Konan meant controlling Naruto Nagato—and controlling Naruto Nagato meant controlling Akatsuki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu may not need to fully seize Akatsuki—but planting his own seed before its revival was purely beneficial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing Luo Fu had not been deceived, Konan’s emotions grew complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, his lack of deception suggested his goal was truly only her—not Naruto Nagato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other, she would now be bound to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse, she had lost the chance to eliminate both the impostor claiming to be Uchiha Madara and Luo Fu and Ye Cang in one stroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the blood Luo Fu offered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konan hesitated only a moment before taking it, and under Luo Fu’s expectant gaze, swallowed it in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant the drops entered her stomach, Konan felt her chakra suddenly spiral out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear flashed in her eyes. She managed only one syllable before her gaze rolled back and she collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was no mere unconsciousness. Having accepted Luo Fu’s blood, she was undergoing a fundamental transformation—just as Ye Cang had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This transformation would lift Konan from the chakra system of the Otsutsuki clan and bind her to Luo Fu’s chakra system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment she swallowed the blood, Konan was irrevocably on Luo Fu’s ship—with no way back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Konan fainted—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Obito, hidden within his Kamui space, stiffened, his heart torn between joy and fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joy: Konan had clearly been deceived. In Akatsuki, now reduced to two members, manipulating Konan was far harder than manipulating Naruto Nagato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Konan, he was confident he could turn Naruto Nagato into his puppet in short order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Naruto Nagato possessed the Rinnegan, his own potential had been drained by forcibly summoning the Outer Path, and his legs had been blown off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Konan, even a rebuilt Akatsuki under Naruto Nagato’s name would be nothing more than a puppet on a shrine—helpless, immobile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eager to sow discord between Luo Fu and Naruto Nagato—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after a long, piercing look at Luo Fu, Uchiha Obito hurried toward Naruto Nagato’s location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a dark, silent room—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a space vortex suddenly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant Uchiha Obito stepped out, several black rods formed by Yin-Yang Release pierced through his body like arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… cough… Uchiha Madara, I’ve warned Itachi more than once: don’t appear before me lightly, or I’ll assume Itachi seek to defy the gods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my, oh my, how terrifying!” Uchiha Obito acted absurdly, feigning exaggerated fear. “I nearly died at the leader’s hands!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uchiha Madara, what is your true purpose?” Naruto Nagato snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Konan, Naruto Nagato harbored deep suspicion toward this impostor claiming to be Uchiha Madara.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doubted every word Uchiha Obito uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve come to deliver bad news,” Uchiha Obito said, relishing the moment. “That girl Konan has been knocked out by Uchiha Luo Fu. She may already be at his mercy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Naruto Nagato’s eyes widened, then narrowed. “Uchiha Madara, I know Itachi’re not the Shinobi of the Warring States—but Itachi’ve suffered a crushing defeat at Uchiha Luo Fu’s hands. Itachi lost the Flame Fan, and he severed your arm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But my arm’s been restored!” Uchiha Obito seethed inwardly, yet feigned indifference, waving his newly reattached right hand. “Besides, I never liked that Flame Fan anyway!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto Nagato gave a cold laugh. “Itachi suffered such a defeat at Uchiha Luo Fu’s hands—and now Itachi tell me he’s captured Konan? Do Itachi expect me to believe Itachi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows?” Uchiha Obito spread his hands. “Why not take a gamble? If I’m lying, no harm done. But if Konan really is in his grasp… Itachi’ll lose your last companion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Obito’s words struck Naruto Nagato’s deepest wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akatsuki had been shattered. Naruto Nagato now relied solely on Konan. Minato, who had cared for him since childhood, had sacrificed himself for Konan’s sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konan’s safety—he could not risk it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Naruto Nagato forced himself upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure with short orange hair, expressionless, and studded with black chakra rods along his nose, lower lip, and ears, stepped forward and helped the legless Naruto Nagato rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Minato, fully controlled by his Rinnegan, Naruto Nagato’s eyes welled. “Minato… I’m counting on Itachi. Let’s go save Konan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those few words triggered a flood of memories—the moment they had been betrayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very same words had once been spoken by the man now standing before him—the very Minato, transformed into a Rinnegan puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3757,"2026-06-21T01:08:28.363Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e27587bc174d6716ab84f890525ac0f96345d33fe668c0ff42f9e4a07888f8fe","simultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-chapter-75","simultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-chapter-73",686,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-cover.jpg"]
