[After Nagato was gone, Konan was left all alone. A few days later, she encountered Obito, who intended to steal Nagato's Rinnegan.
[Apart from the events in the games, Konan's previous battles were relatively minor. However, her fight with Obito truly showcased her unique combat style.
[To protect Nagato's body, Konan lured Obito to a large river.
[Having studied Obito's abilities in advance, Konan meticulously prepared and unleashed the "Paper Person of God Technique."
[According to the official description, this jutsu allows up to six hundred billion explosive tags to blend into the scenery, transform into water, or mimic the ground with such precision that even the Sharingan cannot detect them.
[Essentially, it's a highly advanced transformation technique, and there's no indication that it creates six hundred billion explosive tags out of thin air.
[This demonstrates Konan's meticulous nature and her habit of carefully planning every detail before a fight. She's a precise and thoughtful ninja.
[As an additional note, Konan's true paper-based jutsu is called "Dance of the Shikigami," which allows her body to transform into paper. These paper pieces can even detach from her body and serve as clones or offensive tools.]
"If six hundred billion explosive tags are Konan's ultimate move, then there's a high chance she'll lose to Obito," Minato Namikaze commented as he watched the confrontation between Konan and Obito on the light screen.
Even with six hundred billion explosive tags, his confidence in Konan's victory was low.
"Why do you say that, Dad?"
Naruto, while undeniably a genius in battle tactics, was now in the Hokage's office, far from the battlefield.
Outside of combat, Naruto's everyday intelligence was... well, everyone knew what it was like.
"The Fourth Hokage thinks Obito might use Kamui to escape."
Behind him, Sasuke heard Minato's words and immediately thought of Kamui—the ability to transport oneself or others into a separate dimension.
"Big Sister Konan wouldn't let Obito retreat into the Kamui space, right?"
"You're not wrong there. But even if he doesn't return to the Kamui dimension, his intangibility ability is enough to avoid the damage from the Explosive Tags."
Hearing this, Naruto nodded at first but then quickly shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. With billions of Explosive Tags, they should be able to blow him up for at least five minutes!"
Obito's Kamui intangibility had been thoroughly studied by everyone.
To return to the Kamui dimension, his body had to materialize.
And his intangibility could only last five minutes.
In Naruto's opinion, five minutes was more than enough time for that many Explosive Tags to force Obito out of his intangibility.
"Not bad," Sasuke said with a smirk, half-praising and half-mocking. "You actually remembered that Obito's intangibility only lasts five minutes."
Naruto scratched his head, looking embarrassed from the backhanded compliment.
"Hehe."
Sasuke: Hehe your sister! I wasn't complimenting you!
On the side, Minato and Kushina exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly as they looked at their son acting so foolishly.
They had tried everything to change Naruto's naïve personality.
They even made him participate in the first "Slaughter Trials" to shatter his innocence and teach him how cruel the ninja world could be.
But looking at him now, their efforts didn't seem to have had much effect.
"Stop grinning like an idiot. Did you forget? The Uchiha clan has one ultimate ocular technique left," Sasuke said.
"You mean resurrection?" Naruto asked.
"It's not just resurrection, it's—"
At this point, Sasuke lost interest in speaking further and simply continued briefly: "Just think of Izanagi as resurrection."
"So, according to you, Sasuke, doesn't that mean Sister Konan is bound to lose?"
"Not necessarily."
Sasuke didn't feel like explaining anymore, so Orochimaru stepped in to answer: "Based on my precise calculations, six hundred billion explosive tags, used sparingly, can last about twenty minutes. As long as Konan doesn't waste them and keeps three hundred billion tags unused, even if she can't kill Obito in the end, she can at least force him to reveal Izanagi and escape."
Minato: "It's just a shame that Konan doesn't know Obito can use Izanagi, a dojutsu that can alter illusion and reality. To kill Obito, Konan will definitely use all six hundred billion explosive tags at once."
Orochimaru: "That's true."
[Back to Konan and Obito's battle.]
[In the first round, Konan used her overwhelming number of paper tags to her advantage. While Obito was observing her, she mixed explosive tags in, attempting to take him down with her.]
[Obito reacted quickly. Although he absorbed a lot of the explosion's impact, he only lost an arm and a quarter of his mask.]
[Konan, in her paper form, floated in the air. At this moment, Obito realized that Konan, as a founding member of the Akatsuki, wasn't someone easy to deal with.]
[However, for Obito, even someone like Konan was only slightly troublesome. Just as he thought Konan had run out of tricks, he suddenly found himself trapped in a sea of six hundred billion explosive tags.]
[Facing this crisis, Obito tried to absorb himself into the Kamui dimension. But during absorption, his body turns tangible, and the process is slow. Meanwhile, Konan kept sticking explosive tags onto him.]
[Left with no choice, Obito abandoned absorption and switched to phasing through the explosions.]
[At this moment, Kamui's intangibility could only make Obito untouchable for five minutes.]
[But Konan's six hundred billion explosive tags could detonate continuously for a full ten minutes.]
[Forced into a corner, Obito activated the Uchiha forbidden jutsu, Izanagi, to turn the explosion into an illusion.]
[Due to overusing her Paper Person of God Technique, Konan couldn't return to her normal form.]
[The surviving Obito used an abandoned metal pipe to ambush Konan, leaving her severely injured.]
[At this time, the Rain Village, which had rained for years, cleared up, and a rainbow appeared.]
[Carrying the will of her fallen comrades, Konan vowed to become a pillar for Naruto's path to peace. She used her remaining chakra to fight back with all her strength, but was eventually captured by Obito and trapped in a genjutsu.]
[Through the genjutsu, Obito learned the location of Nagato's body, and Konan met her tragic end.]
"Konan still died at Obito's hands," Jiraiya said with deep sadness.
He was especially upset because she was killed by Obito, a ninja from the Uchiha clan of Konoha.
Speaking of the Uchiha clan, Jiraiya couldn't help but think of Danzo.
"Damned Danzo."
The Third Hokage, familiar with his disciple's temper, immediately understood. Jiraiya was blaming Danzo for Obito's actions.
"Jiraiya, Obito's situation doesn't seem like something you can blame Danzo for," the Third Hokage said.
"I don't care," Jiraiya retorted stubbornly.
Jiraiya was being unreasonable.
He knew that Obito's situation couldn't really be blamed on Danzo, but he still wanted to push the blame onto him. Got a problem with that?
"Orochimaru?"
Jiraiya turned his head and glared fiercely at Orochimaru, leaving him utterly confused.
"What?"
"I'm really pissed off right now."
"...So, after the light screen video ends, should I revive Danzo a couple more times so you can kill him again?"
"That's not enough! I want to kill ten of him!"
"Ten?"
Hearing this, Orochimaru didn't refuse. Instead, he seemed to start thinking deeply.
It's known that souls can be split.
So, when reviving Danzo, what if his soul was deliberately split into multiple pieces, and each incomplete part was placed into a clone body? What would happen?
Would it result in reviving several versions of Danzo simultaneously, or would it fail entirely?
Hmm, this is an interesting topic. It's worth studying carefully.
