Chapter 225: The Death of Obito

Seeing Konan enter a combat stance, Uchiha Obito spoke: "Do it, Long."

The next moment, a deluge of paper rain submerged the location where the two stood.

Konan paid no attention to Li Ang, charging straight toward Uchiha Obito's position.

"."

Uchiha Obito watched the scene with his right eye, his expression hidden beneath the mask remaining completely unmoved.

The whistling white paper passed through his body as if he did not exist in this world.

'Got you!'

He suddenly thrust out his right hand, grabbing the neck of Konan, who had appeared before him at some unknown moment.

Immediately after, the whistling white paper was sucked into his right eye one after another.

But just then, some paper marked with black patterns became mixed in with the snow-white sheets.

Boom—!

The next moment, a violent explosion erupted.

Konan floated in the air, gasping for breath, half of her body turning into slowly drifting white paper.

"I truly underestimated you."

A hoarse voice came from afar; a somewhat disheveled Uchiha Obito looked gloomily at the angel of the Akatsuki organization in the distance.

He had not expected the opponent to launch such a suicide attack.

More importantly...

"Long, what are you waiting for? Why haven't you made a move?"

Uchiha Obito looked at the cyan-red figure not far behind Konan, who seemed to be watching a play. Even though those papers posed no threat, the other party had yet to act.

He furrowed his brows slightly, a vague sense of unease rising in his heart.

Hearing his name, Li Ang responded with a dull expression: "Apologies, Lord Madara."

As he spoke, he stomped hard on the water surface, turning into a streak of cyan-red light as he flew toward Konan's position.

But before Li Ang could get close to Konan, he was forced back by a massive number of paper sheets.

At this moment, the body of the Paper Angel had already finished reconstructing itself.

She suddenly raised both hands, issuing a cold declaration of death: "Everyone who stands in Nagato's way must die!"

As her voice fell, the lake beneath Konan parted as if Moses were dividing the sea, and countless explosive tags fell downward like a waterfall.

Seeing this, Uchiha Obito's figure distorted, and he immediately attempted to flee.

But before he could finish his teleportation, several explosive tags had already stuck to his body.

Boom—

Amidst the violent explosion, he was forced to interrupt his teleportation.

Uchiha Obito, who could not fly, slid continuously toward the abyss formed by the explosive tags.

He looked up at the sky and saw a cyan-red figure attacking the initiator of this technique with a spear.

'Long.'

Uchiha Obito's right eye, hidden behind the mask, became increasingly vivid.

Boom, boom, boom—!

The next moment, deafening explosions rang out continuously.

Li Ang stopped his movements, looking at the scene beneath his feet that would make Kakuzu's heart ache, and asked: "How many explosive tags did Lady Konan use this time?"

"600 billion. It is the limit of what my chakra can produce." The angel wearing a paper flower showed a trace of fatigue on her face. "Are you certain there is a way to kill Madara?"

When she first learned that the secret technique she had prepared could not finish off that Uchiha Madara, she had been in disbelief; after all, this was her trump card prepared specifically for him.

That was until she learned of the technique called Izanagi, the forbidden art capable of reversing life and death.

Facing Konan's doubt, Li Ang simply said softly: "Leave it to me."

With that said, his pupils, which resembled a scorching sun, quietly watched the abyss below where explosions were still occurring.

Uchiha Obito was indeed difficult to kill, but fortunately, his mechanics were not flawless.

With Konan's assistance, in Li Ang's eyes, the opponent was no different from a dead man.

In the distance, a black-and-white figure looked at the scene on the battlefield, a trace of shock flashing in its eyes.

'What on earth is that guy doing!?'

It was Zetsu.

He discovered that his 'brother' was not acting according to the plan at all.

Let alone helping Uchiha Obito deal with Konan, these two were clearly on the same side!

'But why?'

Black Zetsu could not understand.

The other party was clearly not on the same path as Nagato, so what benefit could there be in doing this?

He recalled their conversation from back then, feeling somewhat puzzled.

On the battlefield.

The violent explosions lasted for a full ten minutes before gradually coming to a stop.

And at the very moment the explosions ceased, Li Ang threw the long spear in his hand.

"Gungnir, the Declaration of the Great God."

Having met so many times, he had long since planted the fate of death upon Uchiha Obito.

The next moment, the meteor pierced through the lingering smoke and shot toward the lake water that was slowly filling the void.

Puchi—!

Amidst the smoke, a man who had lost the right half of his face knelt powerlessly on the ground, his remaining half-face wearing a dazed expression.

'That is...'

'What?'

Just as his consciousness was about to sink into darkness, a sighing voice rang in his ear: "It really isn't simple to finish you off..."

It was Li Ang.

He looked expressionlessly at Uchiha Obito, whose life force was growing increasingly faint.

Uchiha Obito was indeed hard to kill; Kamui was basically half a passive skill. Unless one exhausted his duration, it was basically impossible to touch him.

Besides that, he could also release Izanagi through his left eye.

Under normal circumstances, trying to kill him could be described as incredibly difficult.

To be safe, Li Ang had used Gungnir this time to shatter Uchiha Obito's right eye, preventing any possibility of him escaping.

Yet even without a small part of his head, the opponent still had not died on the spot, showing how tenacious his vitality was.

Hearing the voice, Uchiha Obito raised his head, looking at the person before him with his slowly closing left eye.

"Long..."

"Why did you..."

He had just wanted to ask why the person before him had not been affected by his genjutsu, when he saw a Mangekyou he had never seen before appear in the other party's left eye.

"...!!"

"How is this possible..."

Uchiha Obito struggled to open his remaining left eye wide, but because of the irreversible price of releasing Izanagi, he lost his remaining vision.

Uchiha Obito, whose vision was now pitch black, still remembered when he first encountered the other party; the man was just a madman pursuing Uchiha power.

Why...

Was he an Uchiha clansman?

At this moment, a whisper that seemed to come from hell rang in Uchiha Obito's ear.

"Heh... don't be in a hurry. Uchiha Itachi will be down to join you soon. I will avenge the clansmen who died that night."

??

A blank expression appeared on Uchiha Obito's face: "What are you... talking about?"

"You two probably didn't expect that someone survived that night, did you?"

Li Ang's expression was cold and indifferent.

This was his new identity with Konan and Nagato: one of the two survivors of the Uchiha clan's extermination night.

Of course, at first, the two did not believe it.

But when Li Ang revealed his Mangekyou Sharingan, they fell into silence.

Nagato and Konan finally understood why this 'Long' had joined the Akatsuki organization; it turned out to be to avenge himself on Uchiha Itachi.

At the same time, Nagato also understood why he had previously said that Uchiha Itachi was problematic.

As for the Byakugan...

Li Ang said his right eye was blind; as long as he didn't actively use the Byakugan, it wasn't easy for others to distinguish.

"Cough, wah!"

Uchiha Obito was overcome with rage and coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

Impossible. That night, he and Uchiha Itachi had clearly checked; besides Uchiha Sasuke, it was impossible for anyone else to be alive.

Unless Uchiha Itachi had left survivors without telling him.

Before Uchiha Obito could think further, Li Ang had already walked to his side and leaned slowly into his ear: "I wonder how the Fourth Hokage would feel if he knew the one who caused his death was his own student."

"Even though he and his wife treated you so well."

Killing the person and attacking their heart.

Uchiha Obito turned his head abruptly: "You!?"

Before he could say his last words, his consciousness sank into darkness forever.

He was dead.

'Uchiha Madara', who had been active as the mastermind for who knows how many years, had died just like that.

Just as he had relied on an information gap to kill Konan in the original plot, Li Ang had now relied on an information gap to kill him with ease.

【Maintained Sage Mode during combat, skill experience +13】.

【Used chakra during combat, skill experience +19】.

After snapping Uchiha Obito's neck, Li Ang stood up expressionlessly.

He felt a pang of regret for not being able to obtain Uchiha Obito's right eye, but for the sake of insurance, this was all he could do.

At this time, Konan stood behind him; seeing his expression, she assumed it was the emptiness that followed avenging the clan extermination.

After a moment of silence, the mature woman wearing a paper flower spoke: "According to our agreement, you should go to the front lines to support Nagato next."

Hearing this, Li Ang returned from his regret and let out a soft breath: "No problem, Sister Konan."

After all, this was the agreement he had made with the duo.

And next, as long as he dealt with the Allied Shinobi Forces, he could begin his own plan.
