Chapter 19 Minamoto no Takuno VS Nagato and Konan
Chapter 19 Minamoto no Takuno VS Nagato and Konan
"puff!"
Nagato suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body fell backward, and he finally collapsed into Konan's arms.
This is the aftereffect of overworking his body; his body is no longer strong enough to support him in using the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Attraction to attract those numerous enormous rocks!
"Nagato!"
Seeing this, Xiao Nan, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but shout out in concern.
"Can we talk now? I have no interest in your Rinnegan." Takuno moved the huge rock aside and looked at Konan and Nagato in her arms before speaking again.
He was actually lying. He was still very interested in the Rinnegan, but if he wanted to take the other's eyes, Obito Uchiha would definitely stop him. He didn't want to face Obito Uchiha, who possessed the Kamui ability, right now.
Just as Yuan Tuoye was speaking, pieces of paper mixed with the soil began to surge toward his location.
Konan didn't just watch Nagato's actions all the time; she also thought about how she could help him. Nagato has reached his limit, and now... all she can do is watch him!
Suddenly, Konan put Nagato down on the ground and held the kunai she had taken from him in her hand.
"Konan, no..." Nagato coughed violently, trying to stop Konan, who was someone she couldn't handle!
"Nagato, it's my turn to protect you now!" Konan took a deep breath and rushed towards Minamoto Takuno.
"Oh? Is the dog desperate?" Yuan Tuoye watched this scene with interest, and took out a kunai in his hand, which soon collided with Konan's kunai as she rushed over.
However, the force of this collision seemed very strange. Even if Xiao Nan was a woman and not as strong as many men, it was absolutely impossible for her to be so weak.
Yuan Tuoye looked at Xiao Nan in front of him. Stripes appeared on her face, eventually turning into pieces of paper that fluttered in the air.
The Dance of Shikigami!
"This is..." Yuan Tuoye frowned, as if he was seeing this kind of ninjutsu for the first time.
At this moment, Shikigami, which had been hidden in the soil, quickly transformed into Konan. She then produced a paper kunai and stabbed it at Minamoto Takuno.
"We succeeded!"
Xiao Nan felt the sensation in her hand and a look of joy appeared on her face.
However, at that moment, she heard Nagato's desperate roar in her ears.
"Xonan, run away!"
Xiao Nan was a little confused, but what she didn't see was Yuan Tuoye's nonchalant demeanor and the upturned corners of his mouth hidden under the mask.
Nagato didn't see it either, but he could see that the other party was far too relaxed, showing absolutely no panic at being ambushed by Konan.
At that moment, Yuan Tuoye, who had been pierced by Xiaonan, suddenly turned into a wisp of white smoke and exploded.
"Shadow clone?! When?!" Konan's eyes widened instantly as she tried to find the other person's figure.
However, the exploding shadow clone did not disappear completely like a normal shadow clone. Instead, it hid in the white mist and transformed into a stream of water, spreading along Konan's hand, which had not yet been completely withdrawn, to her entire body.
"This is?!"
Konan's pupils contracted sharply, and she tried to escape by transforming into Shiki no Mai. However, at that very moment, the stream of water burst forth, enveloping Konan's entire body.
Water Release: Water Prison Technique?
Konan realized this ninjutsu, but the Water Prison Technique requires the opponent's hand to remain on the water prison to be maintained, but where is the opponent?
With no sign of Yuan Tuoye around, she finally realized his location.
"Earth Release - Heart Decapitation Technique!" Gen Takuno maintained the Water Prison Technique with one hand, and then he also emerged from underground.
He looked at Konan, who was completely trapped by the water prison technique, still glaring at him angrily, and raised an eyebrow. This was the angel of the Akatsuki organization later on.
Unfortunately, her strength was indeed lacking. Apart from the explosive tag she used at the end, which was indeed powerful enough, it's debatable whether her strength could even be considered Kage-level, let alone Konan now.
What he used was not an ordinary shadow clone, but a water-style shadow clone, similar to Kakashi Hatake's lightning shadow clone.
He even went a step further and incorporated the Water Prison Technique into it. Combined with the Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique, he could trap his opponent with the Water Prison Technique before the opponent could react.
As for when to use Water Release: Shadow Clone Technique, it would naturally be when Nagato used Universal Pull, and when Nagato used Earth Release: to block Nagato's path with a huge rock.
Seeing this, Nagato, who was already slumped on the ground, tried to get back up, but couldn't help coughing and spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.
"Release Konan! I will give you the Rinnegan!" Nagato said calmly, still not believing that the other party didn't want his eyes.
If Konan could still speak, she would definitely stop Nagato, but unfortunately, trapped by the water prison technique, she couldn't give any response at all.
"Tsk, didn't I already say? I'm not interested in your Rinnegan." Gen Takuno said, suppressing his inner desires.
He couldn't help but think, what if he could actually succeed?
Even if Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu and White Zetsu target him after that, it's still the Rinnegan!
Paying a small price might be worthwhile!
It took him a while to calm down the urge to obtain the Rinnegan.
First of all, even if Nagato really wanted to give it to him, he might not be able to get it.
Secondly, it would be very troublesome if these two guys targeted him after he obtained the Rinnegan. He didn't think White Zetsu wouldn't be able to find out about his existence, since the Rinnegan could never be turned off.
Finally, there's the problem of the Rinnegan not being able to be turned off. With a pair of Rinnegan, he can't return to Konoha and can only keep it in the laboratory as a decoration. Even if he got it now, it wouldn't be of much use.
Moreover, if it's not one's own Rinnegan, one cannot unleash its unique abilities, just like Nagato was never able to use the special abilities of the Rinnegan, Limbo: Border Jail.
If possible, he would prefer to awaken his own Rinnegan or Tenseigan by fusing the bloodlines of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans in the future.
For various reasons, he suppressed his desire for the Rinnegan.
After hearing what Minamoto Takuno said, Nagato was stunned. The other party didn't want his Rinnegan? Could it be that the other party was really just a strange creature collector, as he had initially said?
If he hadn't summoned the Gedo Mazo, the other side probably wouldn't have attacked them.
Nagato felt very strange at this moment, but in any case, this was a good thing.
"Fine, as long as you release Konan, this demonic statue is yours, and I promise I will never summon it again!"
