Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Konan’s Gift — 600 Billion Explosive Tags
[Naruto World, Original World, Amegakure]
Konan stood in the rain, letting the downpour soak her Akatsuki cloak.
This place was once the land of dreams for her, Yahiko, and Nagato, but after one incident after another, only she was left.
Akatsuki had now completely stood in opposition to the Five Great Nations. The future of Akatsuki, the future of the Amegakure, what path should they take?
She could only place her hopes on Naruto, hoping he could fulfill the promises he made.
At this moment, suddenly, space beside Konan twisted, and three people appeared out of nowhere.
Konan looked and saw Uchiha Obito wearing the same Akatsuki uniform as her.
She muttered, "Didn't expect your face under the mask to look like this. You're not Uchiha Madara, you're Uchiha Obito."
Old Obito said, "Who I am doesn't matter, little girl. You should know the purpose of my visit, right?"
But Konan replied, "I've looked into your records. You're younger than me. You've been calling me little girl all this time, aren't I the one being taken advantage of?"
"Nagato's eyes, I won't give them to you. You don't need to waste your effort."
Old Obito's eyes flickered, "I'm only here to inform you. After all, to take Nagato's Rinnegan, as his closest friend, you have the right to know."
Konan said flatly, "Nagato's body is hidden in a place you'll never find. No need to probe further."
Old Obito was briefly silent. If he didn't have Young Obito, he indeed would have had to use Sharingan genjutsu to interrogate Konan in order to get Nagato's location.
But now, there was no need.
He said slowly, "Konan, I won't kill you. After all, if you die, someone will be unhappy. But you know too much. Can you promise not to leak this information?"
Konan showed a trace of disdain on her face, maintaining her cold angelic demeanor, "What I know is the information of the Akatsuki organization we created. Why would I leak it to outsiders?"
"You're just an outsider. The first leader of Akatsuki was Yahiko. The second was Nagato."
Old Obito glanced at Rin beside him. The 'someone who would be unhappy' he referred to was Rin.
After all, in that world that didn't belong to him, Rin had a pretty good relationship with Konan.
He said slowly, "Then let's part here. Nagato's body, I will only take the pair of eyes. The rest I will leave for you."
These words made Konan's face change, because she could tell Obito wasn't joking, which meant Obito truly knew where Nagato's body was.
Nagato's eyes were something she had sworn to protect to the death. How could they be taken by Obito?
She said coldly, "Since you insist, I can only kill you here."
The sea beneath Konan's feet was disguised with six hundred billion explosive tags by her. No matter how bizarre Obito's abilities were, she was confident she could blow him to death here.
As for whether the battle would affect the two children beside Obito, a boy and a girl, it wasn't within her concern.
She was no longer the Konan who would pass buns to little Nagato, or shelter Young Obito behind her back, full of sympathy.
Because she might have been able to sympathize with others, but others had never sympathized with them.
Their original goodwill in founding Akatsuki had been repaid with heart-wrenching betrayal.
Their country had become a battlefield for the Five Great Nations, had suffered the pain of war, and in return, all they got was, "We Five Great Nations have suffered too."
An intense killing intent erupted from Konan. She didn't waste another word and struck decisively.
The rock reef where Big and Young Obito and Rin stood suddenly saw the sea water on both sides split open, dragging the reef down.
As it fell, the seawater suddenly turned into countless explosive tags, rapidly attaching themselves to Old Obito.
Since the first wave of explosive tag attacks wasn't aimed at Young Obito, he had plenty of time to react.
Seeing things were bad, he grabbed the still-dazed Rin and instantly shifted them into the Kamui space.
Old Obito didn't even finish saying "Save me" before discovering Young Obito had vanished without a trace.
However, he didn't complain, because Young Obito had transferred Rin, that was what mattered most.
After losing his Mangekyo Sharingan, most of his Kamui abilities could no longer be used. He could only barely phase through.
But the phasing duration had shortened to just one minute, considering both Sharingan Izanagi's two-minute limit, was that really enough for Konan's ten-minute explosion?
What to do now?
There was no time to think, explosive tags had already gathered around Old Obito, and the detonations began one after another…

[Kamui Space]
After transferring Rin, Young Obito opened a portal to the real world some distance away from them.
The moment the portal opened, the roaring sound of explosions surged through. Even from afar, the immense power could be felt.
Rin's face turned a little pale. Even with her good healing ability, in such an explosion, she would not escape being blown to pieces.
Luckily, thanks to Young Obito's protection, she was unharmed.
Not long after the portal opened, he pulled Old Obito in as well. To avoid the explosions damaging this beautiful world, Young Obito immediately shut the portal.
The sound of explosions vanished instantly, leaving only Old Obito still maintaining his phasing.
Old Obito waited until the shockwaves of the explosion were completely over before deactivating his phasing. By this time, his one-minute duration was nearly exhausted.
A little more time, and he would've had to use Izanagi to negate the damage.
Old Obito let out a breath, looked around at the beautiful world that was completely different from his own space, and sighed.
"Even though this isn't my first time seeing it, this place really does seem like the world Rin should exist in," After saying that, Old Obito flickered beside Young Obito and Rin and looked at Young Obito.
"So the Eternal Mangekyo can now instantly open a space portal?"
Young Obito nodded, "Actually, I also had the ability to transfer you away before the explosive tags got close. But that would've taken a bit more time, and I was afraid that if I missed the window, Konan would turn around and attack me and Rin. Even if it wouldn't affect us much, better safe than sorry."
Old Obito nodded, "You did the right thing."
Young Obito couldn't help but say, "Konan-nee is still so fierce, she attacked without hesitation. Even more decisive than in the last life."
"Maybe it's because she knew we found out where Nagato's body was and got a bit anxious."
"Anyway, let's stay in Kamui space and let the outside explode for a while. After about ten minutes, the explosion should stop."
Rin's eyes widened. Though she had heard Young Obito talk about being bombarded by six hundred billion explosive tags—
Hearing was one thing. Seeing it with her own eyes, she couldn't help but marvel.
"That kind of explosion just now could really last ten minutes? Anyone still in there must be blasted into ashes, right?"
Young Obito couldn't help but nod, "I'm thinking I should get my hands on Tobirama Senju's Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tag technique and have Konan-nee learn it. If she learns that move, as long as she has enough tags, she'd absolutely have super-Kage level strength."
