Facing Obito's incoming attack, Pain once again raised his hand and released Shinra Tensei.
Obito's intangibility made him immune to the impact of Shinra Tensei, but he was still blown back by the repulsive force and landed on the sea surface below.
Suddenly, before Obito could regroup his attack, the sea surface where he and Kisa stood abruptly split open. Exploding tags disguised as seawater through "Shikigami no Mai" slowly erged to the surface.
The disguise of these exploding tags was so perfect that even the Sharingan couldn't detect the slightest anomaly. In so ways, this was even more terrifying than the Shadow Clone technique!
"What's happening? The sea is splitting?" Kisa was confused, but he already felt the imminent threat of death.
"This isn't seawater, it's ninjutsu!" Obito's eyes widened, feeling a horror that made his hair stand on end.
Konan, whom he had always underestimated as a "pretty doll," actually possessed such a deadly jutsu!
How many tags were needed to perfectly disguise the entire sea surface?
No wonder she deliberately directed the fight over the sea—apparently, this was a death trap she had prepared from the very beginning!
Under Konan's control, the sea split from the middle, forming a giant chasm that continued to widen on both sides. A dark abyss with no visible bottom opened up, with seawater cascading down its edges. Thousands of exploding tags flew wildly, like a painting of doomsday.
A total of 600 billion exploding tags were set up as a killer trap—specifically prepared for Obito!
Although the exploding tags were made with Konan's ninja techniques, the paper material itself was produced or purchased by Agakure.
In fact, for the sake of killing Obito, Konan had conducted several previous experints!
How many tears Kakuzu shed in this process was almost beyond question.
As the chasm in the sea widened, Obito and Kisa, who lost their footing—and couldn't fly—finally fell into the dark abyss.
Instantly, as Konan activated the exploding tags, a trendous explosion shook the dark chasm!
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
And the explosions seed endless, continuing relentlessly...
Both in power and effect, it was no less than the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags technique created by Tobirama.
In fact, its range was several tis wider...
After all, this was 600 billion exploding tags—enough to explode continuously for ten minutes!
It should definitely be enough to kill Obito!
With the advantage of information, Nagato and Konan already knew all of Obito's abilities and weaknesses.
The intangibility ability of Kamui could last about five minutes, plus Obito's use of Izanagi with one Sharingan eye also lasted about five minutes.
In total, Obito had ten minutes of invulnerability ti.
This was also the main weakness in Konan's initial plan—she originally didn't know about the forbidden Izanagi technique.
She only thought that ten minutes of explosions would definitely be enough to kill Obito, who only had five minutes of intangibility.
That was why she narrowly lost to Obito before.
Had Konan prepared a few more trillion exploding tags, Obito might not have been able to win.
But now it was different. Under the threat of the previous "Super Shinra Tensei," Obito had already been forced to use Izanagi early.
This ant that the total duration of Izanagi intangibility was now less than ten minutes—perhaps even less than nine minutes.
Now, facing Konan's 600 billion exploding tags, Obito definitely couldn't survive!
This was why Nagato kept forcing Obito to use Izanagi first—once Obito used Izanagi, his defeat was already destined...
What about Kisa?
He clearly couldn't possibly survive this continuous super-large explosion.
Although Nagato felt it was a pity, since Kisa chose to follow Obito, Nagato could only respect his choice and send him and Obito to the afterlife together.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Ten minutes later.
The long, relentless explosions finally ended.
The small surrounding waters boiled from the continuous explosions, and once again white mist and water vapor enveloped the sea surface.
Konan, exhausted, released the paper wings on her back and fell downwards.
She wasn't an Edo Tensei body—there was no unlimited chakra supply.
Controlling 600 billion exploding tags to detonate directionally all at once, even though the tags were prepared beforehand, still drained all her chakra.
Pain (Deva Path) caught Konan and carried her on his back.
"Did it work?" Konan asked weakly, panting.
"It seems so. The aura of their chakra has disappeared..." Pain replied.
Although not a sensor type, at least within the range of "Rain of All-Encompassing Perception," Obito and Kisa's auras were no longer detectable.
And it was almost impossible for the two of them to survive such an explosion.
Frankly, even Nagato himself wasn't sure he could withstand a continuous, gapless explosion of 600 billion exploding tags...
However, just to be safe, Nagato decided to check one more ti.
He used Shinra Tensei to create a strong wind that swept away the mist within a radius of hundreds of ters...
At a glance, there were no signs of life other than himself and Konan.
Even underwater, Nagato sent summoning animals to check.
Still no trace of Obito was found.
"Reduced to dust?" Pain muttered coldly, slightly relieved.
This wasn't a great victory.
After all, despite having the advantage of information and location, they still fought for a long ti—and had to rely on layered plans and trickery to finally kill Obito.
This proved how strong and difficult their opponent was.
"Mangekyou Sharingan and the forbidden technique Izanagi... The Uchiha clan are truly troubleso ninjas! No wonder Orochimaru was so obsessed with this Kekkei Genkai..."
Pain murmured softly, while still carrying Konan and preparing to leave this place, returning to the village.
But right at that mont—
A wave of spatial energy suddenly appeared not far from them. With a spiraling vortex twisting, a figure appeared hastily.
"You're still alive?!"
Pain stopped, staring at the suddenly appearing Obito with a look full of astonishnt and confusion.
How could Obito still be alive?
It shouldn't be possible!
"Cough—!"
Obito spat out blood, his mask was shattered, and his whole body was covered in blood, looking extrely miserable. But he was indeed still alive.
"I didn't expect there to be this jutsu. Truly underestimated this pretty doll!"
"For her new master, she's even willing to do this? She almost really killed !"
"But I didn't die. Didn't expect that, did you? Hahaha—!"
Obito laughed maniacally, as if losing his sanity, with a facial expression more distorted than before.
His left three-tomoe Sharingan eye was already blind and useless; now only his right eye—the Mangekyou Sharingan—was open, staring at Pain with hatred.
After a mont of contemplation, Nagato finally understood.
"So that's how it is. You used your right Mangekyou Sharingan to use Izanagi again?"
Nagato sighed.
He had been too careless! Forgetting this.
If a three-tomoe Sharingan could use Izanagi, then the Mangekyou Sharingan certainly could too!
And its effect and duration might be longer.
Previously, Obito hadn't used it because he didn't want to lose his precious Mangekyou Sharingan. But in a life-or-death situation, how could he still hold back?
So, before his intangibility ti ran out, he used his Mangekyou Sharingan to use Izanagi again, thus managing to survive the ten-minute explosion!
