Using "bullets" with strong penetrating power against paper was a smart move.
Da da da~
After a while, many pieces of paper were pierced and holes were made by these air bullets, which also delayed Konan's chakra transmission for a moment.
Danzo, being an experienced veteran jounin, took advantage of this brief opportunity.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Great Ball!"
If the Vacuum Sphere is like a machine gun, then the Vacuum Great Ball is like a rocket launcher.
The paper pierced by the air bullets didn't block anything.
The air cannon, over a meter in diameter, hit Konan.
"Paper Clone?"
The Vacuum Great Ball's power is very strong; one hit is usually fatal for an average person.
But Konan was different.
As soon as she was hit, her body began to turn entirely into paper.
What was hit by the Vacuum Great Ball was just her paper clone.
Danzo, not familiar with Paper Jutsu, thought she used a paper clone.
"No, it's just a paper trick."
As the surrounding papers began to gather, Konan's figure reappeared in front of Danzo.
Seeing Konan reappear calmly without showing any signs of fatigue, Danzo thought: This is troublesome.
It's really troublesome.
As long as Konan has enough chakra, Danzo's Wind Style won't be able to harm her.
Not to mention Wind Jutsu, even Fire Jutsu wouldn't work.
In the original story, when Jiraiya faced Konan's attack, he first used Fire Release.
Toad Oil was used only after Fire Release proved ineffective.
Danzo doesn't have anything like Toad Oil to use against Konan. He only knows Wind Jutsu and a few basic Wood Jutsu techniques.
Let's not focus on Wood Release right now. As for Wind Release, Danzo had seen it in action, and it was basically useless.
Even though a huge air cannon hit her, Konan still appeared in front of him as if nothing had happened. This clearly showed that Wind Release wasn't very effective against Konan.
At this point, Danzo considered retreating.
"Young lady, I don't think I have any personal grudge against you. Since Hanzo is dead, I won't trouble you anymore."
"No grudge?"
How could there be no hatred?
Before Hanzo was killed, Pain learned from him that Hanzo wanted to eliminate the Akatsuki organization because of Danzo's schemes.
It was Danzo who secretly manipulated Hanzo into attacking them.
If not for Danzo, Hanzo wouldn't have trapped them under the guise of cooperation and wouldn't have targeted the Akatsuki organization.
If not for Danzo, Yahiko would still be alive.
In the end, Danzo was responsible for Akatsuki's downfall and Yahiko's death.
And now this guy had the audacity to say there was no hatred?
How absurd!
"Danzo, you deserve to die."
Konan, who usually kept a neutral expression, couldn't hide her anger at this moment.
"Just die quietly!"
With that, Konan launched another paper attack.
She poured more chakra into her technique, making the paper much tougher and the attack faster.
If Danzo continued to use the Vacuum Ball to counter it, he would definitely suffer.
"This crazy woman."
Danzo cursed inwardly, quickly dodging while also launching counterattacks.
"Wind Style: Shuriken"
Danzo channeled chakra into the shuriken in his hand, forming a wind-style cutter around the spinning shuriken.
The cutter sliced through a lot of paper, rendering it useless.
With the paper gone, Danzo felt less pressure.
He finally understood.
The woman across from him was indeed skilled with paper techniques, but her attacks were quite limited.
Considering his own wind-style ninjutsu, he realized neither of them could effectively handle the other.
At the same time, he was puzzled.
The opponent seemed to have some serious issue and kept attacking him.
If I've done something to offend you, just tell me.
If you don't, how would I know what I did wrong?
Danzo shook his head, deciding it didn't matter much anymore.
He had figured out the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent's paper techniques, and it was time to leave.
With that in mind, he used another wind-style technique to cover his retreat from Konan.
"Hmm."
Just as he was leaping away from Konan, a rhinoceros appeared out of nowhere and rammed him into a wall with tremendous force.
"Wow~"
The collision caused significant damage, making Danzo cough up blood.
"Pain."
Konan successfully defended against Danzo's Wind Style. When she looked for Danzo, she saw him being knocked away by the rhinoceros.
She realized it was the Six Paths of Pain controlled by Nagato.
"Go and evacuate the people around here. I'll handle this guy."
Konan nodded, turned, and began arranging the evacuation.
When Konan attacked Danzo outside, ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village noticed her.
They initially wanted to help, but seeing that an "angel" was assisting, they held back to avoid causing more trouble.
These ninjas organized themselves and started to evacuate the area.
"Who are you?"
After spitting out blood, Danzo covered his chest and stared at the figure with Rinnegan in front of him.
He swore he didn't know this person.
"Everything in this world is strange. I didn't come to Konoha to find you, but you came to Amegakure."
The Animal Path stood calmly in front of Danzo, watching him suffer.
Nagato had endured so much pain when he learned the truth but didn't go with Konoha to seek revenge on Danzo.
He inherited Yahiko's will and wanted to bring true peace to the ninja world.
He captured the nine tailed beasts and combined them into the Ten-Tails, using its power to threaten the entire ninja world.
Before this force is dealt with, all major ninja villages will unite against external threats and avoid starting wars easily.
As long as he has the power of the Ten-Tails, the ninja world will always be peaceful.
To capture the nine-tailed beasts, the Akatsuki organization, which is not ready yet, must stay low-profile.
If you seek revenge, you'll have to wait until the organization is prepared.
What Nagato didn't expect was that Danzo would actually come to him voluntarily.
If I don't kill him now, I'd be wasting such a good opportunity.
"Die."
At the command, the hellhound that had been lurking nearby instantly appeared in front of Danzo, opened its bloody mouth, and bit him.
"Want to kill me? Dream on!"
Danzo didn't know why he had so many enemies in the Hidden Rain Village.
All he knew was that the man with circles in his eyes before him was not at the same level as that woman.
If I don't fight hard, I might really die here.
"Wood Release: Violent Tree Spear."
Danzo knew very few Wood Release techniques, and this was the only one he could use effectively.
Luckily, this technique is quite powerful and can be used for both defense and offense.
The hellhound didn't expect the old man in front of it to fight back. It wasn't paying attention and got pierced by the wooden stake, returning with a smoke.
Danzo's resistance displeased Pain greatly.
He said calmly, "Wouldn't it be better to die obediently as per God's will? Why do you still resist?"
Just as he finished speaking, two more figures with circle eyes appeared in front of Danzo.
These two were Naraka and Preta Path.
"Those who defy God will not have a good end!"
Pain is not only referring to the Deva Path; all six paths are Pain!
