Chapter 197: Killing Shin Uchiha, Heading to the Hidden Rain Village!
High altitude, Konan flew at extreme speed.
With a wave of her hand, she scattered a large amount of white paper, splitting into six paper clones. Alex swayed his paper body, giving each paper clone a sealing paper, a teleportation paper, and a paper sealed with Senjutsu Chakra.
"Go." Konan ordered. "Bring back the Tailed Beasts from each village for me!"
The paper clones nodded and flew off in different directions instantly. Heading to different destinations to retrieve the Tailed Beasts. With the strength of the new generation Kages in each village, they couldn't be opponents for the paper clones. As for Konoha... she would personally go to capture the Nine-Tails.
Thump! Thump!
Konan suddenly felt her eyeballs vibrating, Chakra beginning to surge, and hurriedly stopped. Her eyes closed involuntarily.
"Konan." Alex sensed slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay, just the second pulsation, not a big problem."
Her Tenseigan had to undergo seven pulsations before fully opening. With each pulsation, the Byakugan's ocular power would increase.
A moment later, the second pulsation of the Tenseigan ended.
Konan opened her eyes. In the center of the pure white eyeballs, the blue starlight gradually faded.
"Byakugan's visual distance has doubled again."
She looked around, then deactivated the Byakugan, restoring her normal pale orange pupils. Taking Alex with her, she continued to fly rapidly toward the target.
With the just-strengthened Byakugan, she had already seen the underground cave where Shin Uchiha was hiding. Inside were a large number of clones with the body shape of teenagers. The only adult figure in the center must be Shin Uchiha.
After flying for a short while, Konan descended from high altitude. Below was a hilly area with sparse vegetation. Looking ordinary, everything seemed natural. In reality, there was a cave entrance directly in front, just disguised as ordinary by a sealing barrier.
"Heh..." Alex flew to the barrier. "Not only camouflage but also defensive and early warning functions..."
"Unfortunately, still too crude..."
He controlled a sealing paper to paste on it. With a flash of light, the sealing barrier was quietly broken. Whatever early warning or defense, under Alex's extremely profound sealing jutsu attainments, were all insufficient.
Shin Uchiha deep inside the cave didn't know yet that the sealing barrier outside had been broken...
Konan didn't delay, flying in with Alex. Passing through the long, narrow, dim passage, they arrived at a huge cavern space. There were several pools on the ground. The rocks everywhere were filled with clones in teenage form.
As for Shin Uchiha, he was on the largest rock in the very center, head bowed, tinkering with something. He hadn't discovered anyone entering his territory yet.
Seeing the Akatsuki outfit on Shin Uchiha, a cold light flashed in Konan's eyes. Then she waved her hand, and the sky full of white paper filled the upper part of the cavern.
"Hmm?" At this moment, Shin Uchiha noticed the anomaly and looked up subconsciously.
He exclaimed in shock, "Paper Release??!"
"It's actually Paper Release!!!"
The Sharingan in his eye sockets shrank violently, extremely horrified. It was one thing for the attack to come suddenly, but it was Paper Release!! Sheets of white paper floated above the cavern, clearly visible. The paper surface was pure white as snow, transmitting powerful Chakra fluctuations.
It was indeed Paper Release!
But how was this possible???
The only existence in the Ninja World who knew Paper Release had died more than a decade ago... It was unlikely for the same Paper Release to appear again.
The adult version of Shin Uchiha also had pale skin all over. More hideous and terrifying than the teenage clones. He looked sharply at the figure appearing at the entrance.
Shocked again, his mind trembled violently!
Black robe with red clouds, pale blue-purple hair, plus Paper Release...
Shin Uchiha shouted the identity of the comer; "White Tiger!! You didn't die??!"
"Or rather... you were resurrected??"
He had already activated the Mangekyo. No trace of Transformation Jutsu; it was indeed a real person.
But how was this possible??
White Tiger, dead for more than a decade, suddenly appeared??
Konan just looked at him coldly. White paper emitting extremely strong cold air fell, and the entire cavern was instantly covered by a layer of ice. Filling every inch of space. Shin Uchiha inside, along with a large number of clones, were all frozen.
"Hmm?" Konan narrowed her eyes slightly. "Interesting..."
Only to see Shin Uchiha in the center of the ice wasn't dead yet. A large number of blades and spikes suddenly appeared around his body. The material should be very special; combined with his Mangekyo pupil technique, he could actually chisel open the ice layer. Breaking free.
"White Tiger!" Shin Uchiha panted heavily, having shaved off a layer from the top of the cavern. Only then could he barely stand on the crowded ice layer.
"No! You can't be White Tiger!! She definitely doesn't know Ice Release!!"
"You actually dare to wear the outfit exclusive to the Akatsuki organization, dare to impersonate an Akatsuki member! Simply unforgivable!!"
In the current Ninja World, only he could represent the Akatsuki organization! He would never believe White Tiger resurrected. Only dead Akatsuki members were good members. He wanted to revive the Akatsuki, but he absolutely didn't want orthodox Akatsuki members to appear!
Now, he, Shin Uchiha, was the orthodox one!
"Go to hell!! You impostor!!"
Red light flashed in the Mangekyo Sharingan. Dense blades and spikes appeared out of thin air, visibly shaving down the ice layer, attacking Konan.
Alex looked at the neurotic Shin Uchiha and just wanted to laugh. This so-called Mangekyo was truly useless. It was catalyzed by him through special means, incomparable to a proper Mangekyo. The pupil technique seemed to be metal manipulation. Whether due to limited thinking, poor development, or just lack of power, the performance was quite underwhelming.
Shaving the ice layer layer by layer... by the time the attack reached Konan, the day lilies would be cold. This ice layer was made with ordinary Chakra, without adding Senjutsu. Otherwise, with just these blades of Shin Uchiha, he definitely couldn't shave it.
Konan said coldly, "You are not qualified to wear the Akatsuki outfit, let alone represent the Akatsuki! You will pay the price of death for your stupidity and ambition!"
Sheets of white paper floated out from the ice layer again.
"You... how is it possible—"
Shin Uchiha was terrified to the extreme, too late to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as the white paper emerging from the ice under his feet wrapped him up. Couldn't resist at all. The strength gap was too big; he was no match at all.
Just Kage-level. Only by hiding behind the scenes and using his clones and that one-eyed creature could he play others in the palm of his hand.
"Die." Konan's eyes were icy. "You guy who blasphemes the Akatsuki organization."
Squelch!
The white paper crushed inward violently, and Shin Uchiha's body instantly turned into a spray of bloody mud. Completely dead. Although he possessed many Sharingan, he hadn't mastered Izanagi, so he wouldn't resurrect.
A battle that wasn't really a battle ended.
A large sheet of white paper rolled up a large stack of materials, floating out from a deeper cave, arriving in front of Alex and Konan. This was all the research experiment data looted from Shin Uchiha's secret research base.
Although that guy's strength wasn't great, his cloning technology, and the manufacturing technology of three-tomoe and even Mangekyo, still had merits.
After Alex copied everything, he burned all the materials to nothing.
"Not a bad harvest." He lay back on Konan's shoulder. "Konan, where to next?"
Konan turned and flew backward, her voice full of killing intent: "Hidden Rain Village!"
