Within the borders of Amegakure.
The moment Yūsuke set foot in the rain-soaked nation, Pain's expression turned grim inside the highest level of the Akatsuki base. Beside him stood none other than the masked Obito.
"Madara, you still haven't told me about the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan. And also..." His gaze darkened as he looked at Obito, his purple Rinnegan eyes filled with intense questioning, "That guy has just arrived here."
Obito lowered his eyelids and said in a low voice, "You just need to remember that the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan may need your help. Otherwise, why would I assist you in collecting all the tailed beasts?"
After hearing his words, Pain fell silent. He knew this matter was likely more complex than it seemed.
He secretly made up his mind. As soon as this situation was dealt with, he would completely sever ties with this person claiming to be Madara. He would rely on his own power to capture the tailed beasts.
Even though he knew it might take a long time to prepare, he no longer wanted to cooperate with the man before him.
"He's here." Obito's voice turned cold.
The next second, he used Kamui and immediately fled. He didn't want to confront Yūsuke directly.
Better leave this head-on clash to his Akatsuki colleague!
Seeing "Madara" flee at the crucial moment, Pain couldn't help but give a cold laugh. He muttered to himself, "He... is definitely not Madara Uchiha! Huff... Konan."
The moment his words fell, a beautiful woman stepped out from the shadows behind him.
"I need to mobilize all the Pains. You go and hold off Yūsuke Kamizuki first. Give me... just three minutes." Pain calculated silently.
Hearing his words, Konan slowly nodded.
At the same time, she was intrigued by this bold man, Yūsuke. After all, three days ago, he had used the Magic Lantern Body Technique to say such things to her...
She wanted to see if he was really as terrifying as the legends said! Moreover, she still had her own trump card!
Dance of the Shikigami!
At this moment, Konan's entire body instantly transformed into countless paper butterflies. They danced gracefully, leaving the building.
Pain wasn't idle either. With a leap, he directly left the place.

Meanwhile, Yūsuke floated slowly in the sky above Amegakure.
The dense raindrops in the sky above, just as they were about to fall on him, strangely avoided his body. After all, he didn't want to come into contact with this rain.
Rustle! Rustle!
Suddenly, countless white paper butterflies emerged from the street corners below, swiftly floating towards him in the sky.
In an instant, they transformed into countless white shuriken! Spinning at high speed, these shuriken rushed fiercely towards him at an astonishing velocity!
"Konan, huh..." Yūsuke wore a slight smile. He floated quietly in the sky, waiting for the shuriken to reach him.
These incredibly sharp shuriken, upon hitting his body, seemed to encounter an extremely strong impact — as if they had hit steel and iron. They trembled for a moment, then bounced off.
These high-speed spinning paper shuriken couldn't even break through his defense. Or rather, currently, no one in the entire ninja world could breach his defenses with attacks!
"Is this your attack, Konan?" Yūsuke's face still wore a faint smile, as if he wasn't facing an enemy at all.
The paper butterflies dancing in the rain began to flap their wings continuously. Then, they started to converge in the sky before him.
Soon after, Konan appeared, a pair of enormous paper wings behind her. From his perspective, her face was filled with coldness!
Konan silently looked at Yūsuke, wanting to see what was so extraordinary about this man! Tall and muscular, with a handsome face framed by vibrant yet calm icy-blue eyes—she wondered what other qualities lay beneath his striking appearance.
"Buying some time for the Six Paths of Pain and Nagato to come out?" Yūsuke saw through her purpose in blocking him at a glance.
With his powerful sensing abilities, he could easily perceive all movements within Amegakure! Naturally, this included Nagato, who was currently gathering the Six Paths of Pain!
Konan's brows furrowed slightly, her gaze still fixed firmly on him.
Her purpose was just as he had said — she only needed to buy a little time for Nagato.
"Actually..." Yūsuke stroked his chin, looking Konan up and down as if admiring a work of art.
Then he smiled faintly.
"If you want to stop me, you don't actually need to use force. After all, with your beauty, you should be able to delay my advance for about an hour."
