Thud!

Konan landed heavily on the vines. Her head was spinning, and her mind felt clouded.

It was like being drunk!

She looked up at Hashirama, seeing five or six blurry images of him.

Was it a wood clone, or was she seeing things?

"Such powerful pollen…"

Konan hadn't felt this weak in a long time, and a deep sense of helplessness filled her heart.

It's over!

No one in the Akatsuki can defeat this warrior from the Warring States period!

Wait!

Maybe there is one person who could!

Konan thought of the masked man, Uchiha Madara, the one as famous as Senju Hashirama.

Only Uchiha Madara can be relied upon now!

Not only had Konan lost her combat ability, but after using Shinra Tensei multiple times, Deva Path Pain also felt his chakra being blocked.

"How is this possible?!"

Tendo Pain's eyes filled with shock.

This body is just a corpse!

It doesn't need to breathe!

All its chakra is transmitted remotely through Nagato's chakra rods.

Why is the signal failing now?

In a distant tower, Nagato's eyes widened with fear.

"This pollen is too powerful!"

Nagato deeply felt his control over Deva Path Pain weakening.

He could no longer control the chakra freely!

Soon, Tendo Pain would be completely out of his control!

"Senju Hashirama!"

Nagato repeated the name, the words squeezed through his teeth.

His heart was filled with deep resentment.

Why!

Why has such a powerful being reappeared?

As Nagato fumed, he completely lost control over Deva Path Pain.

On the vine.

Thud!

Deva Path Pain collapsed to the ground. His body was covered with black rods, but he was entirely paralyzed, his chakra blocked, unable to move.

"Damn…"

Deva Path Pain uttered his last words before closing his eyes, cutting off the signal entirely.

Boom!

As Deva Path Pain closed his eyes, the Chibaku Tensei orb in the sky started to fall toward the buildings of the Land of Rain.

"No!!!"

Konan screamed hysterically, her eyes filled with despair. If the orb crashed into the Land of Rain, countless people would die.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly.

The branches on the ground began to grow again, rapidly extending toward the falling orb.

The vines intertwined and wove together like a net, the spaces between them filled with green leaves.

In the next moment.

The Chibaku Tensei orb hit the vines, compressing the space between them.

After falling a short distance.

All the force was absorbed by the vines.

It came to a complete stop.

Gulp…

Konan swallowed hard. She lay on the ground, staring in shock. She couldn't believe the Chibaku Tensei orb had been so easily caught.

So powerful!

Is this the First Hokage?

A strong sense of helplessness washed over Konan. No wonder those who had seen the First Hokage compared him to the Sage of the Six Paths.

This is the God of Shinobi!

Taptaptaptaptap…

As Konan was lost in her thoughts, she heard footsteps. The sound was rhythmic, neither too fast nor too slow.

At this moment.

Konan's body was completely paralyzed.

She couldn't move at all.

Only her tongue was not yet numb.

There was no need to think about it to know who was coming. No one except Senju Hashirama could walk freely on such trees and vines.

"What do you want to do?"

There was a trace of panic in Konan's voice.

She originally thought that she was not afraid of death.

But the time has really come.

Under the background of the feeling of powerlessness in her heart couldn't help but feel the fear of death.

"Don't worry."

Hashirama shook his head calmly.

He had no interest in picking up corpses.

Especially since he was in his Edo Tensei form now.

He didn't feel much.

 It was not much fun either.

"???"

 Konan was confused at the time.

 What's the meaning?

What does he mean by "don't worry"?

 She just wanted to ask Hashirama what he wanted to do?

The answer she got made her feel baffled!

Between doubts.

 Hashirama has already walked in front of Konan.

"Konan, I think I've defeated you!"

 Hashirama looked down at Konan who was lying on the ground. What he wanted to do now was to defeat the people of the Akatsuki organization, and he had no other intentions.

"???"

There are more questions in Konan's head. What does it mean to be defeated?

If this is not considered defeat!

 Then what else?

 etc...

 Konan suddenly realized something, maybe because the era when the first generation lived was too long ago.

 Perhaps people of that era spoke incomprehensibly.

This is the generation gap!

 Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle....

Before Hashirama could make his next move, a person emerged from the vines next to Konan.

Wearing black clothes embroidered with red clouds.

The whole face is spiral-shaped, except for half of the face which is a black spiral and orange eyes.

With a face that resembled a spiral, and one eye showing an orange iris, This spiral-faced figure was none other than Tobi. It was Tobi of the Akatuski.

After Black Zetsu abandoned his original partner White Zetsu, he found Tobi to form a new combination.

Of course.

The new combination was also a White Zetsu!

"Hahaha, I'm so glad I can come out and play now!"

 Tobi laughed and climbed out of the ground. When he came, he keenly captured Konan's location.

"Go back right now!"

Black Zetsu's orange eye widened in alarm. He had just found a new partner, and now, he saw that dreadful figure again.

"Huh? Why do you want me to go back? Don't you think you'll be happy teaming up with me?"

 Tobi's doubtful voice revealed traces of dissatisfaction, and he didn't even notice Black Zetsu's violent mood swings.

"Just when I had thought I had no luck finding you, you came to me so easily!"

Hashirama raised his hand, gave a thumbs up, and showed a warm smile.

 "This must be the fate!"
