16 Akatsuki's Overwhelming Defeat

Iwagakure.

A very tall and brawny man with a bulbous nose and short dark-grey colored hair rushed into the Tsuchikage office.

He seems to be in a hurry to report something and as soon as he appeared in front of Onoki he said loudly.

"Father, Uchiha Madara seems to be in the Rain Country, do we send an army and encircle him, as we did with the 3rd Raikage. We can also cooperate with other villages for double insurance."

Onoki who was originally calm was so shocked that his back started aching again. His short body started shivering and he stared at his unsatisfactory son with anger and fear.

"Kitsuchi, are you trying to destroy Iwagakure? Do you want my death so bad?"

Kitsuchi was shocked at his father's outbreak, but he can't be blamed. In his cognition, any ninja can be killed if they are besieged by an army of tens of thousands ninjas, now seeing his father's face full of fear, he felt that he has become old and cowardly.

"Father, aren't you a bit too scared? Uchiha Madara is the enemy of all villages, we have to eradicate him before he messes up the status quo. Can he still survive against an army?"

Onoki's original anger for his son disappeared and he even felt that the current state of Kitsuchi was because of his own upbringing. He is usually very busy as the leader of Iwagakure and had not much time to accompany his son when he was young, he didn't even notice that his son has a problem with his brain. Now he is even clamoring of eradicating Uchiha Madara.

Looking at him with a bit of self-blame, Onoki said slowly.

"Ahh Kitsuchi I'm sorry, you are already so old and I didn't notice until now that you are mentally retarded. I'm sorry, I'm not a good father."

Now Kitsuchi was really confused. Weren't they talking about Uchiha Madara, why did he become mentally retarded now?

"What are you talking about father? Forget it, the army is already ready father, waiting for your command, I can also send someone to inform Kumogakure. Uchiha Madara will be dead soon."

The self-blame on Onoki's face became even stronger, with a deep sigh he stood up and put his hand on Kitsuchi's shoulder.

"Forget about Uchiha Madara, son. Come your father will accompany you for a few hours. Let's spend some quality father-son time together."

Without giving Kitsuchi a chance to speak, he dragged him out of the office.

Akatsuki base.

Looking at Uchiha Takashi, Madara nodded in approval.

"Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan huh? Even the same body as Hashirama. Not bad boy, together with the rewards you got from the stone tablet, you will make a good opponent. You wait for a moment, I will finish this soon."

Turning his eyes back to Nagato, he didn't seem to put him into his eyes at all.

"Hurry up, originally I was looking forward to this a bit, but now it's just boring. But I will still play with you a bit."

Right then the other members of Akatsuki also appeared near Nagato.

Madara, who had activated his Sharingan in a three-tomoe state glanced at everyone, which brought great pressure to the Akatsuki members.

"Besides the shark-faced guy, who is a little better, the rest are just ants.

Is this everything you got Nagato?"

Nagato ignored his words and immediately manipulated the hand of Deva path.

"Shinra Tensei"

A devastating repulsive force spread from his hand immediately, pushing away all matter and objects in front of him, blasting in the direction of Madara.

Madara glanced at the attack lightly and didn't take it seriously, dodging it with great ease, he flashed in front of the Naraka Path puppet and blasted it into nothingness with one fist.

Madara's speed was too fast and Nagato had no chance to save the Naraka Path. He was shocked and a bit desperate, Naraka path is an extremely important part of his Six Paths technique because it allows him to revive his other Paths.

'Is the difference in strength so big? There is no way now, I can only let everyone attack together.'

"Now you can't use Naraka Path Revival Technique anymore Nagato, what will you do?"

Nagato's eyes became even colder and he shouted to all members.

"Everyone attack together!"

Without the need for a blood sacrifice or hand seals, Nagato used Animal path to summon a massive rhino and a big bird with his Animal Path.

Immediately after he gave up the idea of sparing any chakra and prepared to use Chibaku Tensei with his Deva Path.

"Hold him back for a little bit, I need some time!"

Everyone else also got into action without reservations, Sasori summoned his 3rd generation Kazekage puppet, manipulated it with great focus, and used his strongest magnetic style, Kisame did a few quick hand signs and an overwhelming amount of water appeared in his surroundings blasting into the direction of Madara.

Konan used paper style, making a large number of paper shurikens and releasing them at high speed.

Kakuzu on other hand looked at his teammates and made a decision, acting as if he was about to do a jutsu, he used instantaneous technique and fled from the battlefield at his greatest speed.

Orochimaru felt a bit shocked when he saw this and fell into self-doubt for a moment.

'Someone actually fled before me? It seems I am getting a bit slack, I have to practice my escape skills with high intensity after this is over.'

Immediately he used a clone jutsu and his main body ran away at high speed. Madara noticed these two and ignored them, he disdains to waste his power on such opponents.

Juzo who was standing at the side with his sword was a bit confused about what he should do. Shrugging he decided to observe the situation a bit, he can't intervene in a battle with these big guys.

Looking at the jutsus and the small black ball that was flying into the air, Madara smiled a bit and didn't move.

Kisame saw the situation and grinned.

"Uchiha Madara is a bit arrogant, doesn't even dodge."

"Chibaku Tensei!"

Nagato's voice sounded.

Sasori's Iron Sand and Kisame's Water ninjutsu, together with a large number of paper shurikens arrived at Madara's position at the same time and triggered a big explosion. Dust filled the area and the visibility was greatly reduced, right then Chibaku Tensei also activated and a great gravitational force dragged the ground and all objects on it into the sky.

Madara was affected too and the members only saw him being dragged into the air but didn't see the sarcastic expression on his face.

Soon the dust settled and only a large ball made of stone was left in the air. Looking at the majestic jutsu of their leader, which seemed to be a celestial object, all members were filled with awe.

Kisame took a breath of relief and said.

"We are lucky that Madara is so arrogant and allowed the leader to finish his jutsu."

Right then, an arrogant voice appeared.

"Oh yeah? Chibaku Tensei huh, really well done Nagato. Pity that it's not enough."

Goosebumps appeared on their bodies and Konan looked at the source only to see Madara who was surrounded by a blue giant, alive and well.

Konan fell into despair and shouted.

"No, impossible!"

She knew that this was already Nagatos strongest attack and it didn't even scratch the enemy, she felt hopeless and slumped onto the ground. Glancing at Nagato, who looked as if he had lost his fighting spirit, she thought.

'It's over. Well, it's not bad to die with Nagato in this way, we will still be able to talk in the Ninja world chat group, and maybe we will be able to resurrect one day. Without all these peace dreams, just we three having fun together...'
