Chapter 158: All-Out Chaos Erupts — Obito Is Stunned!
Oborotsuki's pointed question hit a nerve, instantly infuriating both Kakuzu and the Deva Path.
Kakuzu glared at Oborotsuki with deep wariness, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
The last time he fought Oborotsuki, he had nearly died—reduced to just one remaining heart.
Though he had replenished his hearts since then, facing Oborotsuki again was something he absolutely refused to do.
"We're taking the Eight-Tails today. If you plan to stand in our way, we'll settle it right here."
"And a friendly reminder: our next target will be Kirigakure."
The Deva Path spoke to Oborotsuki in an utterly cold, emotionless tone.
Killer Bee, who had been curious when the group suddenly descended around them, now turned serious upon hearing the Deva Path's words.
"So you really are here to capture me, Oborotsuki."
Clearly, the guy was still hung up on the fist bump they had shared earlier.
Bumping fists meant mutual recognition and trust.
But now he felt the sting of misjudging someone—almost like betrayal.
Motoi's expression was far graver than Killer Bee's. Cold sweat covered his face.
Whether it was Oborotsuki or this group of strangely dressed newcomers, both gave him an overwhelming sense of danger.
"I have to report this to Lord Raikage immediately—request backup from Kumogakure!!"
Motoi thought desperately, looking for any chance to send a signal.
On the surface, he tried to remain calm and composed.
"The Eight-Tails will never be handed over to you."
"Last time in Iwagakure, I couldn't finish you all off in one go. This time, your luck probably won't be so good."
Oborotsuki ignored Killer Bee's question and responded sharply to the Deva Path.
In an instant, the atmosphere became razor-sharp with tension.
"Kakuzu, handle the Eight-Tails."
The Deva Path wasted no words and immediately gave the order. At the same time, he raised his hand and aimed it at Oborotsuki.
In that exact moment, the Asura Path appeared behind Oborotsuki with a vicious grin and swung his fist.
His arm split open rapidly, revealing dozens of Asura Cannon barrels that aimed mercilessly at Oborotsuki's body and opened fire.
At the same instant, the Deva Path acted in perfect sync.
"Almighty Push!"
He unleashed the technique on Oborotsuki. The powerful attractive force yanked Oborotsuki straight toward him—preventing any chance of dodging the Asura Path's barrage.
"Now's our chance, Bee!"
"Let's get out of here!!"
Motoi had been waiting for an opening. The moment Oborotsuki clashed with the mysterious enemies, he immediately grabbed Killer Bee and turned to flee.
But right then, a figure flashed in front of them.
"Trying to run? Not so easy…"
Kakuzu sneered as he blocked Killer Bee and Motoi.
"Who the hell are you people?"
Killer Bee asked calmly, looking at Kakuzu.
"You're already dead men walking. No need to answer that before you die!"
Kakuzu said as he launched an attack on Killer Bee without hesitation.
"Bee! You go first!"
"I'll handle this guy!"
Motoi shoved Killer Bee aside and clapped his hands together:
"Summoning Technique!"
Seizing the moment, he summoned an owl and attached the already prepared intelligence scroll to it—ordering the bird to immediately report the situation to the Fourth Raikage and Kumogakure's leadership.
"Trying to send a message, huh?"
"Hmph… you really don't take me seriously at all!"
Kakuzu sneered coldly. His fist shot forward, connected by black tendrils like cannon fire, aimed straight at the owl.
At the critical moment—clang!—Kakuzu's fist was blocked.
He turned in surprise and saw that Killer Bee had intervened.
"A pencil?"
Realizing the object stuck in his fist was actually a pencil, Kakuzu's pupils contracted. Rage exploded.
He immediately activated Earth Grudge Fear mode, preparing to end both the Eight-Tails and this messenger in one decisive strike.
On the other side, the initial clash between Oborotsuki and Pain's Six Paths had already produced a brief victor.
Facing the perfect coordinated assault of the Deva Path and Asura Path, Oborotsuki activated his Eternal Mangekyō ability.
All unfavorable reality was transformed into dream. The Asura Path's barrage did absolutely no damage to him.
Seizing the opening, Oborotsuki appeared right in front of the Deva Path.
"So eager to die?"
Oborotsuki looked at the Deva Path up close and smiled mockingly as he swung his blade downward.
Before the edge even touched his target, three trails of blazing fire had already erupted from the air.
These flames weren't red—they were a seductive,妖艳 blue.
The three blue flames shot forward like spirit serpents, instantly wrapping around the Deva Path.
"As expected… attacks really do trigger the flame effect!"
Oborotsuki stared in pleasant surprise at the scene.
But in the next instant, he sensed danger incoming.
"Almighty Push!"
The Deva Path, wrapped in blue Divine Fire, immediately unleashed his ultimate technique.
A powerful repulsive force exploded outward like a tidal wave, slamming into Oborotsuki—but it caused him absolutely no harm.
Because Oborotsuki was still in his thirty-second invincible state.
"Izanagi again??"
"Why can his Sharingan still be used? Last time we fought, shouldn't it already be blind?"
From a hidden position far away, Obito—who had been secretly observing, planning to let Oborotsuki and Nagato fight to the death before swooping in to collect the spoils—saw this scene and instantly felt sick.
