Chapter 139: Mangekyo, Menma
Alex floated beside Konan, gazing at the Mangekyo Sharingan in her eyes.
Even knowing the world was fake and Nagato was fake.
But personally sending him on his way still gave Konan the illusion of killing her companion with her own hands.
Her heart recalled the scenes of Nagato and Yahiko's deaths in the real world.
The intense grief superimposed, causing the Mangekyo to bloom quietly.
At this moment, Konan's hatred for Obito Uchiha reached its peak.
In the real world, the entire Akatsuki organization was played in the palm of his hand.
Yahiko died because of his schemes, and Nagato was bewildered by him, living the second half of his life in pain and hatred.
And now in this Limited Tsukuyomi world, she was made to experience the grief of her companions dying once again.
This mastermind behind the scenes was extremely hateful and must be killed!
After a long while.
Konan was still in a daze. Alex floated in front of her: "Konan, are you okay?"
"Alex..." Konan's Mangekyo looked at him. "I'm fine, just remembered things from the past."
[I understand, but don't immerse yourself too much in past sorrows. As long as we proceed according to the plan, all sorrows can be reversed in the end, and they will return to life.]
Konan nodded, releasing her hand on Nagato's shoulder.
She couldn't help but touch her eyes. "Is this the Mangekyo...?"
She could feel the pupil power and insight were far stronger than the three-tomoe.
What a beautiful pattern...
Alex praised internally.
Awakening the Mangekyo, Konan's power took another step forward.
Unexpectedly, being pulled into the genjutsu world of Limited Tsukuyomi by Obito, she awakened the Mangekyo by a twist of fate.
If the opponent knew, his intestines would probably turn green with regret.
He intended to kill Konan in the genjutsu world, but instead, he made a wedding dress for her, adding new power to her.
However...
Alex pondered. Awakening the Mangekyo was certainly joyful, but the risk of blindness followed closely.
Like a tiger blocking the road ahead, it couldn't be bypassed no matter what.
Konan adapted to the Mangekyo for a moment and then closed it: "Alex, what are you thinking?"
[Thinking about Obito's whereabouts.]
Alex didn't mention the hidden danger of the Mangekyo.
As their strength increased, this problem would be solved sooner or later; there was no need to worry at this stage.
"Obito..." Killing intent exploded in Konan's eyes. "Nagato said he left first; but the ninja world is so big, where should we look?"
[He will go to bewitch and control stronger combat power to deal with us.]
"Stronger combat power..." Konan looked at Alex: "You mean... Naruto?"
Even the Six Paths of Pain were not her match, and the only combat power stronger than the Six Paths of Pain could only be Naruto, who had defeated them in the real world.
[Indeed Naruto, but the Naruto of this world will have another name—Menma.]
Alex felt Menma's strength might be stronger than Naruto's.
A single "Great Spiralling Ring" directly destroyed the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
The destructive power was not much different from the Deva Path's "Super Shinra Tensei."
"Menma..."
The image of a golden-haired, very sunny and warm Naruto flashed through Konan's mind.
They didn't face off in the real world, but they were about to have a battle in this illusory world.
"Where is he? We'll rush there immediately."
[Training Hall. The specific location is unknown for now, but the Konoha ninjas should have found something.]
Alex learned from the Akatsuki members that someone had blown up the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
It could only be Menma who had fallen into darkness.
After a few days, Konoha Village might already have clues about the murderer's trail.
Alex shook his body:
[Go directly to Konoha. Just right, they requested Akatsuki's support. Konan, you are a member of Akatsuki, just go directly. Use the power of Konoha, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, to find Menma's location.]
Konan nodded, stood up, and flew away from the tower with a whoosh.
Arriving in mid-air, after confirming the direction, she flew at extreme speed toward Konoha.
Nagato and Yahiko's corpses were preserved in the storage paper. After the Limited Tsukuyomi ended, they would dissipate.
But at least in this world, Konan didn't want to leave their corpses exposed in the wilderness.
Half a day later, she arrived at the Konoha gate.
Or rather, just a gate, which looked like it had just been erected not long ago.
The entire Konoha Village was destroyed. Behind the gate, not a single building could be seen, only bare yellow earth.
Konan, wearing the white robe with blue clouds, disguised as herself in this world, stopped not far from the gate.
Konoha should know of her arrival; she just had to wait a little.
Whoosh!
Just then, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of her.
A flash of surprise passed through Konan's eyes.
Minato Namikaze.
True to his name, the Yellow Flash.
If not for the fluctuation of natural energy, she wouldn't have noticed the sudden change in front of her at all.
Flying Thunder God was indeed worthy of being called the number one speed in the ninja world; space jumping was indeed magical.
"Akatsuki organization, White Tiger."
Minato Namikaze, wearing a Jonin vest, smiled at the corners of his mouth and said peacefully: "Thank you for coming to support Konoha."
He looked at the empty road behind Konan. "The others from Akatsuki?"
Konan's expression remained normal: "The other companions are dealing with another urgent matter. I came first to check the situation in Konoha. They will rush over immediately after handling it and won't delay time."
"Is that so..." Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief.
It was good as long as the entire Akatsuki organization could come. After all, it was an organization that protected the peace and justice of the ninja world, and its power was extremely strong.
It was the help Konoha urgently needed.
"Have you found any traces of the murderer?"
Konan didn't intend to enter Konoha. After obtaining intelligence, she would attack directly.
"We have indeed found something." Minato Namikaze said solemnly: "After the Anbu's all-out search, we finally discovered the murderer's hiding place in the Land of Grass."
"The murderer has a base in an underground limestone cave. We in Konoha are planning to set off together to crusade against the murderer after your Akatsuki organization arrives!"
"Where is the specific location?"
"100 kilometers west of the capital of the Land of Grass, there is a lake there."
"Good." Wings appeared behind Konan. "I will notify the other Akatsuki members. Wait for our news."
After speaking, without waiting for Minato Namikaze's reply, she flapped her wings and flew rapidly into the high sky, disappearing.
News... naturally, there would be no more news.
Konan would only go to the door alone and would not go with Konoha.
This was to avoid giving Obito an opportunity to bewitch or even possess Konoha ninjas, creating unnecessary complications.
Moreover, there was no need to use the power of Konoha in this world.
What a pity...
Alex looked at the rapidly shrinking Minato Namikaze below, feeling a bit regretful in his heart.
It was ultimately a genjutsu world created by Obito; there couldn't be a real Flying Thunder God Technique.
In Amegakure, he had tried to use his cheat to copy the ninjutsu scrolls of the Akatsuki members.
However, it was useless; the copy failed.
The ninjutsu on the scrolls looked like the real deal, but in reality, they couldn't be learned at all.
After all, they were fake things created out of thin air.
The Land of Grass was relatively close to Konoha, and with Konan's speed, she arrived at the destination very quickly.
Above a lake.
There was a cave in the center of the lake, the pitch-black entrance looking extremely eerie.
Without hesitation, she flew straight down!
