Chapter – 536 Five Kage… lost?

Boom Boom Boom Boom

Another series of explosions took place on the battlefield, and Shisui retreated backwards. Fortunately, his speed is extremely fast, and this speed has only gotten faster after mastering the Sennin Mode, so no matter how many explosions took place on the battlefield, they didn't hurt him in the slightest, nor was there any severe consumption of Chakra.

Konan's beautiful face was filled with a dignified expression as she looked at Uchiha Shisui who is continuously avoiding the range of explosions caused by the rain of her Explosive Tags.

Konan never expected that the combat effectiveness of Uchiha Shisui would be so high. Just trying to stop him from interfering on the main battlefield has pushed her to her utmost limit, yet she has not been able to do much.

She has used all kinds of attacks she has in her arsenal; however, everything seems to be in vain… No matter what kind of attack she uses, Uchiha Shisui avoids it; virtue to his speed.

In fact, Uchiha Shisui's speed has gotten so fast after mastering Sennin Mode that Konan isn't even able to see the other party with her eyes, and is purely relying on her sensory skills to perceive Shisui and is barely keep a track of his movement on the battlefield.

However, this isn't helping much because even if she is able to barely keep track of Shisui, her own speed is unable to keep up with him, so all her attacks and offensive are easily dodged by Shisui and everything is proving to be useless.

'It can't continue like this…' thought Konan in worry as she tried to think up some countermeasure against the enemy but didn't really have a solution to be able to deal with Uchiha Shisui…

RAORRRR…

And while Konan kept trying to keep Shisui entangled, suddenly, a terrifying roar sounded from the main battlefield in the distance.

As soon as the roar sounded, Konan breathed a relieved sigh, and thought to herself, 'Everyone should have been dealt with by now…'

And contrary to Konan's relieved sigh, Shisui's face sank upon hearing this roar, 'I can't let her delay me any longer, I must get on that side as soon as possible!'

Uchiha Shisui couldn't be more familiar with this roar, he, who participated in the Summit War at Amegakure a few months ago clearly remembers that this is the roar of the Gedo Mazo statue summoned by the leader of the Akatsuki Organization.

What's horrifying to Shisui is that the Gedo Mazo statue is even capable of withstanding and resisting Kuroto's 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' which is simply mind-boggling to him… after all, not even his Susano'o can withstand a single attack from Kuroto's Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion… so the horror of Gedo Mazo is not without reason.

And now that Nagato has summoned the Gedo Mazo statue, Shisui is more worried about the situation on the side of Gokage… worried, Shisui asked Fuwafuwa who is resting around his shoulders, "Fuwafuwa-san… how is the situation on that side?"

Fuwafuwa yawned in boredom, and while licking her paddy paw, she blinked her green eyes several times, then mentioned casually, "It's not optimistic…"

Fuwafuwa's casual words only increased Shisui's worry, and he no longer bothered to care about Konan who has been trying to stop him.

After taking a deep breath, Shisui activated Susanoo's defence around him and without any care of the Rain of Explosive Tags, he forcefully broke through the several layers of Konan's obstruction and finally arrived at the main battlefield in the distance.

However, the scene of the main battlefield before him stunned Shisui.

What Shisui saw is a sight of massacre… and except for two Shinobi, everyone on the battlefield is either dead or severely injured.

And these two shinobi who are neither dead nor injured are members of the Akatsuki Organization with very peculiar identities…

The first one is the red-haired Uzumaki Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki Organization who stood on the edge of the battlefield with an indifferent expression.

While the other one is the white spiral-masked Tobi fellow, who crouched down and curiously poked the cheeks of two specific Shinobi.

These two specific Shinobi poked by Tobi include the Kirigakure's Yondaime Mizukage Karatachi Yagura; that is, the perfect Jinchuriki of Sanbi, and Kumogakure's Killer Bee, the perfect Jinchuriki of Hachibi. Currently, both the perfect Jinchuriki were motionlessly lying on the ground, with their life and death unknown…

And that's not the end of it, the Gedo Mazo statue behind the leader of the Akatsuki Organization seemed to be absorbing the Bijuu Chakra from the bodies of Karatachi Yagura and Killer Bee.

The Chakra of two Bijuu, which was dense enough to be visible to the naked eye was constantly being sucked out of the bodies of Yagura and Killer Bee and entering inside the mouth of Gedo Mazo.

Shifting his gaze, Shisui found hundreds of Shinobi lying either injured or dead on the battlefield, with just a casual glance he identified several known and famous faces including, the Godaime Kazekage Pakura, the Yondaime Raikage Ay, the Konoha Advisor Elder Hamura Mitokado, along with several elite Shinobi among them.

The Godaime Kazekage Pakura was lying unconscious with several tree branches penetrating her body, the Yondaime Raikage Ay seemed to be conscious and struggling to get up, but his injuries were so serious that he was unable to… the Yondaime Mizukage was struggling as the Sanbi's Chakra was being sucked out his body, while there were no traces of Sandaime Hokage as well as Sandaime Tsuchikage on the battlefield.

"The Five Kage… lost?!" – muttered Shisui with an astonished expression.

The scene before him really subverted his inherent concepts and understanding of the Shinobi World. Shisui never even thought that a day would come when the Five Kage would fail even after joining forces together.

And while Shisui was stunned and a little lost, Konan flew towards Nagato's side, and said in an apologetic tone, "Sorry, I couldn't stop him… Uchiha Shisui's strength is several times higher than mine…"

Nagato shook his head lightly, "It doesn't matter…"

Although controlling the Six-Paths of Pain to attack Konoha consumed some of his Chakra reserves, for the current Nagato, such Chakra consumption is close to negligible and has already recovered. Therefore, even if Uchiha Shisui's strength exceeds Konan by several times, it makes no difference to Nagato whose strength has evolved by several dimensions during the past few months.

Nagato strongly believes that except for maybe; the leader of Amatsukami, Yama, no one in this Shinobi world is strong enough to contend with him, not Jiraiya, not the so-called 'Uchiha Madara', and certainly not Uchiha Shisui.

Konan nodded, then after a brief silence, she looked at Gedo Mazo and said with a worried tone, "Absorbing two Bijuu at the same time… will your body be able to support it, Nagato?"

Nagato said, "Don't worry, for the current me, let alone absorbing two Bijuu, even if all the nine Bijuus are absorbed at the same time, it wouldn't be a problem."

In the Cannon, it was necessary to gather all the members of the Akatsuki Organization to participate in the absorption process of even a single Bijuu, and it would still take several days to do so…

But after the perfect transplantation of Hashirama Cells, Nagato's sage body has qualitatively improved.

The powers of the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan are perfectly integrated and balanced in his body, therefore, controlling Gedo Mazo is no longer burdensome for Nagato.

At the same time, his already high Chakra Reserves have further grown, and because of this, Nagato can single-handily absorb Bijuu in much less time compared to the Cannon.

Although, being able to absorb all the nine-Bijuu at the same time might be a bit of an exaggeration, absorbing two at the same time is not a challenge, and Nagato can do so even passively without the slightest burden.

Konan nodded lightly then shifted her gaze towards Uchiha Shisui.

Of course, Konan didn't dare to make direct eye contact with Uchiha Shisui, for fear that she would be caught in Genjutsu, she just silently observed him while standing next to Nagato, and was ready to make a move to stop Shisui with everything she has should Shisui tries to hinder Nagato from absorbing the Bijuu.

But Konan wasn't too worried, even if Uchiha Shisui's strength is several times higher than hers, at best it would be at the same level as Tobi, not to mention there is still Nagato present here.

Don't look at Tobi's funny behaviour and innocent mind, those lying dead and injured on the battlefield are more than clear about the horror of Tobi. After all, this massacre was done by none other than Tobi.

The entire surprise raid force led by Four Kage and comprising dozens of elite Shinobi was ruthlessly crushed by Tobi single-handedly, Nagato and Konan didn't have to make a single move. So, if Uchiha Shisui really wants to stop Nagato, then he would have to get past Tobi first.
