Konoha: Starting with Kisara, I've conquered the Naruto world.

Chapter 20 Obito Uchiha Appears

"Then, happy transaction."

Yuan Tuoye withdrew his hand as he spoke, saying, "To be honest, I'm not like Hanzo who likes to use someone important to him to threaten others."

He wasn't lying; he looked down on this method. Unfortunately, it was so effective, and the other party's lack of cooperation forced him to learn from Hanzo.

The Water Prison Technique requires physical contact from the caster, so when Gen Takuno withdrew his hand, the Water Prison Technique was immediately dispelled.

Nagato was stunned for a moment when he saw this. He thought that the other party would only lift the water prison technique after taking away the Gedo Mazo, but he did not expect that the other party would lift it now.

Why does this masked man seem a bit... honest?

Nagato felt a little strange, but at this moment he finally breathed a sigh of relief and didn't want to go back on his word.

If that's the kind of person they are, then they shouldn't go back on their word, and they should leave immediately after taking away the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Although Xiao Nan was trapped in the water prison, she was still able to hear conversations outside.

She glanced at Yuan Tuoye with a complicated expression. At this moment, she had no intention of fighting again. The previous exchange made her realize that she could not possibly be a match for him.

If she were to provoke the other party again at this point, they would probably no longer consider making an agreement. Not only would she lose her life, but Nagato would likely also be doomed.

She silently returned to Nagato's side and helped him to his feet.

"You can take away the Gedo Statue right now if you have a way," Nagato said. After all, the Gedo Statue was tens of meters tall, and it didn't seem like it would be easy to take away.

"You don't need to worry about that," Gen Takuno said casually, then walked towards the Gedo Mazo.

Soon, he arrived in front of the Gedo Statue, reached out and touched it; it felt somewhat like rock.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, Nagato's shout reached Minamoto Takuno's ears. It turned out that another masked man had suddenly appeared behind Minamoto Takuno and reached out his hand towards him.

Although Minamoto no Takuno and the others had been fighting and were enemies, Nagato had a good impression of him, so he gave him a warning when he saw this scene.

Actually, this reminder was unnecessary.

Because Gen Takuno was constantly on guard against Obito Uchiha's sneak attacks.

Did he just let Xiao Nan go because he's really honest?

of course not!

Given his usual preference for a safe approach, he would likely take away the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path first, and then let Konan go.

The problem is, he knows that Obito Uchiha has been hiding in the shadows all along. If he doesn't let Konan go, Obito will definitely rescue her immediately, and then he will have to face three people.

Therefore, there is no doubt that Minamoto Takuno is gambling, betting that Nagato will keep his promise, since given Nagato's character in the original work, this is quite possible.

Now, he has undoubtedly succeeded in his gamble, and has even left a very good impression on the other party, as evidenced by the fact that the other party reminded him.

"They're really good people," Minamoto Takuno thought to himself. If it weren't for these events, perhaps Nagato and the other two would have truly grown into people who pursued the light? What a pity…

They are not the main characters!

At that moment, Gen Takuno held a kunai in his hand and suddenly turned around to stab Uchiha Obito.

However, his kunai passed right through the other person's body; this was Kamui!

Of course, this technique doesn't have a name yet. Obito Uchiha never gave it a name. It was only after Kakashi Hatake mastered the technique that a name was given to it. Obito Uchiha didn't have any objections to this, so he simply used the name Kamui.

Gen Takuno naturally knew about Kamui's setup, but since it was his first time meeting him, this was all he could do to avoid arousing suspicion.

At that moment, seeing the kunai pass through the opponent's body, Gen Takuno instantly formed two hand seals with his other hand.

In an instant, streams of water appeared on his body, encircling him like water blades.

"Water Release: Water Blade Flowing Technique!"

Obito Uchiha did not possess Kakashi Hatake's Mangekyou Sharingan, which prevented him from using Kamui from a distance. To bring Takuno into the Kamui dimension, he would have to physically touch Takuno.

The process of touching inevitably requires materialization, and as long as Obito Uchiha dares to materialize, Gen Takuno dares to use his water blade to cut off his hand directly!

Sure enough, Obito Uchiha paused upon seeing this scene, and he had no doubt about the sharpness of those water blades.

Once he materializes, his hand will inevitably be severed. But will the severed hand still be part of his body? Can it still assist his Mangekyou Sharingan in using Kamui to capture the opponent into the Kamui dimension?

I'm afraid not!

He was a little surprised that the other party reacted so quickly. He hadn't expected that the other party knew about him from the beginning. After all, if they had known from the beginning, they wouldn't have used that useless kunai to stab him first.

Obito Uchiha's current strength relies almost entirely on Kamui and Wood Release after fusing with Tobi. In addition, the time available for him to grow stronger was short, so his raw strength is no match for those true Kage-level fighters.

Even so, with Kamui, he was able to exchange a few blows with Minato Namikaze, although he was beaten quite badly. This still shows how overpowered Kamui's ability is!

Gen Takuno pondered that the opponent's long-range attack ninjutsu was probably still at the Chunin level because the opponent's growth time was too short, at most comparable to the Jonin level due to the power of the White Zetsu cells.

Therefore, he only needs to defend against being pulled into the Kamui dimension and the opponent's Wood Release to greatly increase his success rate.

"We must keep our distance!"

The moment Obito Uchiha paused, a large amount of chakra also gathered beneath Minamoto no Takuno's feet, and he used the Body Flicker Technique to create distance between himself and Obito.

"Oh dear, so I'm not the only one stalking the cicada." Gen Takuno said mockingly as he watched Uchiha Obito retreat.

Immediately, Nagato and Konan's eyes narrowed, especially Nagato's, who managed to spot Minamoto no Takuya but completely missed Uchiha Obito.

This wasn't the first time; the last time the other party appeared directly inside their Akatsuki organization was also like this.

Perhaps the other party never left, but was secretly watching them all along.

Previously, the other party had said they wanted to cooperate with them, but now it's hard to say that they don't have other motives, or even if they knew about this trap.

Obito Uchiha also harbored some resentment, cursing Nagato and Konan for being too useless; he didn't actually want to come out.

After all, his release would prove that he had been keeping an eye on the other party and watched helplessly as they were plotted against and their friend was killed. If they wanted to cooperate again, it would be troublesome.

It's not that the other party wouldn't be wary of him even if this incident hadn't happened, but the degree of wariness would be completely different!

But he had no choice. Was he really going to just stand by and watch Gentō take away the Gedo Mazo? That was impossible.

So he had no choice but to take action, and he even regretted that he had acted too late.

If he had rescued Konan while she was trapped in the water prison spell, he might have gained a good reputation. Now...

Who would have thought that the other party would go so far as to let Xiao Nan go after making the agreement, contrary to common sense!
