Chapter 132: All Jinchuriki Paths Destroyed, Obito's Final Move
It was the semi-transformed Four-Tails!
Covered in scalding magma, it was completely unaffected by the heat.
The four tails suddenly spread apart, and Obito, along with the other two miniature Tailed Beasts, leaped out.
From three different directions, they launched an attack on Konan.
Seeing the wings beating rapidly on the backs of the three miniature Tailed Beasts, Alex felt speechless.
It was one thing for the Jinchuriki form to have wings, but why did the Tailed Beast forms have them too...?
How was that even possible?
It was most likely Black Zetsu's doing.
The three miniature Tailed Beasts obviously used their wings with more proficiency than Obito.
Their flight speed was faster, and they were more agile in the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Mid-flight, their tails suddenly elongated.
A total of thirteen purplish-red tails, like iron whips, sliced through the air and lashed toward Konan.
Synchronizing with them, Obito once again used "Wood Release: Hellish Chaos," sending sharp rattan spikes to fill the gaps.
Attacks came from front, back, left, right, above, and below, leaving Konan nowhere to dodge.
Dodge?
There was no need to dodge!
Konan remained expressionless, clenching her fists.
In Sage Mode, her physical durability and strength were vastly enhanced.
If Naruto in Sage Mode could shatter the Deva Path's black receivers with his bare hands, she would certainly not be outdone.
With the added buffs of Paper Person Technique and the chimera-assimilated bone density, her physical durability and strength were likely even greater than Naruto's!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Konan threw punches continuously, her fist speed so fast it created afterimages.
Though her fists looked delicate, they erupted with terrifying power in that moment.
She took the thirteen incoming Tailed Beast tails head-on.
Each tail was as thick as a telephone pole and harder than steel.
Bringing sonic booms with them, they lashed toward her head, chest, lumbar spine, and other fatal areas.
But it was futile.
For Konan, the concept of "two fists can't fight four hands" didn't exist.
Her fists were fiercer, faster, and heavier.
Like lightning, she threw thirteen punches in every direction, precisely bombarding each tail.
The sound of thirteen consecutive metal-on-metal collisions almost merged into a single, dull, thunderous roar.
BANG—!
The thirteen tails of the three miniature Tailed Beasts were beaten back with unstoppable force.
Deep fist imprints were left at every point of impact.
The air exploded, creating thirteen visible shockwaves.
As for the mass of tree branches shooting from above, Konan simply waved her hand.
A swarm of white paper sheets spun rapidly, turning into buzzsaws that rushed in and sliced them to dust.
"Damn it!! How is your body this strong?!"
Obito looked astounded.
He knew Sage Mode was strong, but this was ridiculously strong.
His Wood Release and the attacks of three Tailed Beasts were crushed so casually?
He hurriedly stopped.
With such abnormal physical durability and strength, the boost to her Taijutsu was unimaginable.
He couldn't engage her in close combat.
One punch would probably kill him outright.
Fire Release was countered, and Wood Release seemed unable to hurt her.
Mangekyo Genjutsu was out of the question since she gave him no chance to cast it.
Obito felt a creeping horror.
Despite having transplanted the Rinnegan and greatly increasing his power, he still felt a sense of powerlessness against this traitor—like there was nowhere to strike.
The attack methods and Ninjutsu he mastered seemed to do little damage to her.
He could only fight through the Jinchuriki Paths of Pain.
His strength had clearly surpassed the limits of a Kage, so why was this still so pathetic...?
No!
Obito shook his head internally. It wasn't that he was weak, but that this traitor was too strong.
Her strength had grown too fast!
The all-around buff from Sage Mode was greater than the enhancement a single Rinnegan gave him.
He quickly calculated a countermeasure in his mind while retreating rapidly to open up distance.
He had barely taken half a step back when his vision blurred.
Konan had flown right in front of him!
"So fast!!"
It was that damn Sage Mode again!!
Obito instantly realized that Sage Mode also buffed speed.
His flight was already inferior to Konan's, let alone now that she was flying faster than before.
He could only watch helplessly as a fist pushed aside the air in the visible space and smashed toward his face.
And then...
It passed right through.
Obito gloated, "You can never kill me! You're strong now, but once you exhaust your Senjutsu chakra and exit Sage Mode, it will be my turn!"
"Intangibility... what a cheap ability."
Konan retracted her right fist.
This guy's Mangekyo pupil technique was truly an unreachable turtle shell, a god-tier survival skill.
As for ending Sage Mode?
Alex curled his lip in disdain. He had plenty of Senjutsu chakra stored in his body; Obito probably wouldn't survive long enough to see that happen.
Konan condensed an ice blade in her hand and swung it violently behind her.
She precisely deflected three purplish-black Tailed Beast Bombs, sending them crashing into a nearby barren mountain where they exploded.
Immediately flapping her wings, she dodged the highly corrosive acid mist shot by the Six-Tails.
As for Obito.
Because he was intangible, the acid mist simply drifted through his body without causing any harm.
Under his control, the Three-Tails and Four-Tails exited their semi-transformed state.
They reverted to their Jinchuriki forms, shrouded in red chakra cloaks.
While the Tailed Beast forms were strong and had high destructive power, their attacks were too singular.
Facing a strong enemy, it was more effective to restore their original forms and use the Ninjutsu they possessed in life.
As for the Six-Tails, its Jinchuriki wasn't particularly outstanding in skill, so the acid mist in Tailed Beast form was more damaging.
The baby-faced Yagura Karatachi wielded an iron club, while the red-clad Roshi was covered in fiery red magma, entering Lava Release Chakra Mode.
The two attacked Konan from left and right.
"Water Release: Water Formation Pillar!!"
A monstrous flood, even more massive than Mei Terumi's, crashed down like a rolling torrent.
Konan waved her hand, scattering a massive amount of cold air.
The waterfall above was rapidly frozen solid.
She covered her right hand in a layer of frost, turned, and threw a heavy punch behind her.
It collided fiercely with Roshi's fiery magma fist.
Shockwaves wrapped in white steam instantly spread to the surroundings.
Roshi had turned into human-shaped magma, entirely glowing red.
In Lava Release Chakra Mode, he didn't just enhance his defense.
Every inch of super-high temperature magma covering his body would severely burn his opponent.
Any enemy striking his body was bound to suffer backlash.
But it was futile.
With the buffs from Paper Person Technique and Sage Mode, Konan had no fear of this level of heat.
Her fists flew, trading heavy blows with Roshi high in the air.
She landed hits on the magma covering his body without a shred of fear.
In an instant, massive chunks of magma rained down from the sky.
Roshi was strong, but only at the Kage level.
Under Konan's fierce assault, he quickly fell to a disadvantage, unable to parry effectively and forced into a passive beating.
The Six-Tails completely disregarded Roshi, spraying massive amounts of acid directly into that airspace.
Layers of ice sheets appeared on Konan's body, blocking the splashing acid.
At the same time, Alex used Wind Release to blow away the encroaching acid mist.
The Six-Tails' attacks couldn't hurt Konan at all.
As for Roshi...
Although his body surface was pitted and corroded by the acid mist, he was just a corpse, so he didn't care for the moment.
Yagura Karatachi's Water Release shot from a distance was even more laughable; it was frozen directly.
It was less trouble than the Tailed Beast Bombs.
The Wood Release Obito used for sneak attacks was similarly blocked and shattered one by one.
Completely useless.
"It's time for you to exit the stage!!"
Konan suddenly grabbed Roshi's hands. The magma on his body had been completely beaten off.
His body was tattered and in a miserable state.
A massive amount of white paper instantly adhered to his entire body.
A cold light flashed on the surface, freezing him completely.
Konan smashed down with a vicious punch, and the entire block of ice, along with Roshi's frozen body inside, shattered into pieces.
Four-Tails Jinchuriki Path, Roshi—Retired!
Witnessing such a violent scene, Obito was shaken.
Before he could act, Konan flew to the top of the Six-Tails' head with a whoosh.
She stomped down. The Tailed Beast Bomb charging halfway in its mouth exploded inside its maw with a boom.
Ice spike after ice spike stabbed into its body with thwack-thwack sounds, turning it into a pincushion.
The Six-Tails could no longer maintain the semi-transformation and reverted to the Jinchuriki, Utakata.
His whole body was frozen, and then, under Konan's kick, completely shattered.
Six-Tails Jinchuriki Path, Utakata—Retired!
Just then, Yagura Karatachi rushed over. Konan punched at his baby face.
However, a water mirror appeared just in time to block the middle.
The mirror reflected her image.
Ripples appeared on the mirror's surface, and the "Konan" inside actually rushed out of the water mirror!
—Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!
This was Yagura Karatachi's signature Ninjutsu, capable of perfectly copying the opponent and possessing their Ninjutsu and strength.
But... the reality seemed different.
It couldn't copy one hundred percent.
Konan looked at the other version of herself; its eyelids were normal, lacking the purple eyeshadow.
This water mirror clearly couldn't copy Senjutsu.
The person in the mirror only had the strength of her normal state; there was no way she could be a match for Sage Mode.
With just three punches and two freezing attacks, Konan disposed of the mirror image and Yagura Karatachi.
She then turned her gaze, filled with killing intent, toward Obito.
Obito watched this scene in horror.
He was only halfway through his hand seals, and this traitor had already cleaned up the remaining two Jinchuriki Paths of Pain in practically no time at all.
Her strength was simply terrifying.
His vision blurred, and Obito discovered with panic that he was once again surrounded in the center by the familiar Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals.
This time, he was the only one left. All six Jinchuriki Paths of Pain he had brought were destroyed.
He took a deep breath and lowered his hands, releasing the seals.
In this situation, he couldn't possibly be a match for this traitor alone.
He had to use his final move. If that didn't work, he would have to retreat.
Obito quickly pulled a blood-red glass sphere from his Kamui dimension.
It was the size of a soccer ball, and strangely, there were seven pitch-black magatama inside it!
