Chapter 115: Akatsuki VS Konoha

Takemi's words instantly plunged the scene into silence. Tsunade and Shizune looked at Pain and the others in disbelief. Although the Fourth Raikage wanted to blast the Konoha people to death, these words stunned him as well. Jiraiya and Kakashi, while feeling that what these people intended to do was terrifying, didn't think it would be so extreme. But they didn't speak up at this moment. Changing the world always requires a method, and they wanted to know what this Akatsuki was truly thinking. "Hiss, how did this brat appear behind me?!" Suddenly, the Fourth Raikage seemed to recall something. He looked at Takemi in disbelief, a thought abruptly flashing through his mind. This little bastard wouldn't have left a Flying Thunder God Mark on him, would he? Pain said with a frown, "What nonsense are you spouting, brat?" But before he could say anything, Takemi interrupted, "Am I wrong? I remember you always saying you wanted to change the world and create peace, right?" Pain frowned and nodded. Takemi immediately followed up, "However, the human heart is inherently greedy. Where there are people, there is conflict." "So the simplest method, isn't it to eliminate all living beings in this world?" "That way, wouldn't there be no more disputes?" "..." Pain didn't speak, but his hand slowly clenched into a fist. Tsunade glared fiercely at Jiraiya and Kakashi, everything seemingly understood without words. "Or do you have another plan?" Takemi stroked his chin, as if suddenly enlightened. "For example, randomly eliminating half of the Ninja World's population?" "..." "After all, the Ninja World's resources are limited, but human reproduction is infinite. Doing this ensures the Ninja World's long-term development, provides enough resources for the other half, and simultaneously brings fear to the remaining people. Wouldn't the world then be peaceful?!" "..." Pain felt his fist hardening. What kind of twisted logic was this? Were they really that extreme? But Takemi seemed unfazed. He tilted his head and asked in a low voice, "Or do you have other ideas to accomplish your so-called revolution?" "That is natural..." Pain almost instinctively spoke, but stopped abruptly. His fist grew harder and harder. He stared indifferently at Takemi and Jiraiya's group, then spoke coldly, "But you don't need to try to extract information from me. You should first think about how to survive." Pain genuinely didn't want to ramble with Takemi anymore. He had originally intended to discuss the right and wrong of their paths with Jiraiya, and then engage in a master-disciple battle. But now, he didn't want to say a single word. His Chakra began to surge, but he was still thinking about one thing. 'What's going on with that guy impersonating Madara? Did he fight this brat?' He had long suspected, even confirmed, who that person was. He wasn't stupid, some things were best known internally and didn't need to be exposed. Mutual utilization was their current normal relationship. "Are you going to fight?" Takemi raised an eyebrow, then suddenly smiled. "Speaking of which, as soon as we arrived in the Land of Waterfalls, you followed us." "Based on what you've done in Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and even Konoha, your purpose in coming here this time couldn't be to ambush the Fourth Raikage, could it?" "?" "Also, I just noticed your accomplice infiltrating Takigakure, and their target seems not to be simple, so..." "Shut up!" Pain absolutely did not want to waste another word on Takemi. His fist was now completely clenched. If this brat kept talking, who knew what would happen? Almost instantly, he flashed and appeared in front of Takemi. A black rod appeared in his hand and he instantly thrust it towards Takemi. "Watch out!" Jiraiya hadn't expected Pain to suddenly attack. He was still processing what Takemi had said earlier. He immediately wanted to step forward, but Kisame's Water Release also erupted. Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave! Under the powerful Chakra impact, it was as if endless water was spewed out by him. In an instant, this area had transformed into a massive lake. Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Tsunade immediately dodged, and the Fourth Raikage and Shizune also moved aside. "Coming to kill me?" The Fourth Raikage's eyes flickered. He had no idea whose words were correct, but now was not the time to consider such things. Because everyone had already started fighting! "Tsk, it's you again." Kisame looked at Jiraiya in front of him, snorted lightly, and then pointed his Samehada. "Never mind, it's all the same. This time, you won't be so lucky." "Don't block the way, shark-face." Jiraiya was not in a good mood. He wanted to find Yahiko more than waste time here. On the other side, although Itachi was also facing a formidable enemy, he still spoke politely to Tsunade, "Tsunade-sama, it's a pleasure." "How troublesome, an Uchiha?" Tsunade felt a bit annoyed. She didn't particularly want to participate in such a battle because she was aware of her own issues, but fortunately, Kakashi was by her side. "This is Itachi, the one who massacred his own clan. However, from the previous commotion, there seemed to be another person, be careful of that guy!" "Kakashi!" Before Kakashi could finish speaking, his eyes reacted instantly. He immediately shouted a warning to Tsunade and simultaneously retreated to the side. Just as he leaped up, he saw Obito flash out of space, a chain fiercely lashing towards him. "Obito!" Kakashi knew who the person was, but he felt somewhat inexplicable, because Obito's emotions were not right at this moment. Not only were his emotions problematic, but Obito's appearance was also off. Although he was wearing a mask, it was missing a corner, and his clothes were half-torn, with one arm exposed. And this arm, too, seemed to have significant issues. "White, is it a transplant?" Kakashi dodged quickly, murmured to himself, then frowned and spoke, "Sure enough, it was you that Takemi encountered in Takigakure. What is your purpose?" "My purpose?" Obito was almost angered into laughter, recalling his brief encounter in Takigakure, which lasted barely ten minutes. It was the first time he realized someone could be so shameless! That guy clearly impersonated him to cause trouble, yet he could shamelessly frame him. Not only that, but that bastard even used such despicable and shameless tricks, which truly made him hate him. He said, "Instead of asking about my purpose, why don't you talk about yourself? You truly are a failure, Kakashi." "?" "Only a failure like you could cultivate such an utterly shameless disciple!" "..." "I'd like to see if that shameless bastard will mourn for you after you die!" "..." Looking at the somewhat deranged Obito, Kakashi silently sighed. He didn't know what had happened, but he knew that Takemi had probably done something extraordinary again. To infuriate Obito to this extent was truly rare. However, he also really wanted to explain that some of Takemi's habits and actions... The problem wasn't with him... "Has the battle fully begun?" With the battle imminent, Takemi wasn't too surprised that he was targeted by Deva Path. After all, with his highly targeted verbal assault, anyone would be provoked... "I wonder how Obito is doing, and Tsunade as well." Takemi quickly dodged Pain's attacks, murmuring to himself.
