Chapter 251 Battle with the Akatsuki!
"These criminals have become completely lawless. I haven't even gone looking for trouble with the Akatsuki yet, and they dare to come after me to kill me!"
Uchiha Izumi couldn't help but lament that the evils of the ninja world had reached a point where a heavy blow had to be dealt.
"Tachibana Jiro, take Izumi and leave via another route."
Despite his inner turmoil, Uchiha Ikezumi had no intention of backing down when faced with such a wicked individual.
The reason why Uchiha Izumi didn't attack the Akatsuki was because Konan and Nagato didn't really have much evil to do. Their targets were mostly ninjas from the Land of Rain and Hanzo's subordinates.
For ordinary people—
Nagato and Konan themselves were commoners. It's true that they didn't harm ordinary people, but the Land of Rain under the Akatsuki's rule couldn't be said to be thriving; they were just getting by day by day.
As for Kakuzu, he killed those who had bounties on their heads, as well as some of his own teammates.
And what kind of good people could possibly join the Akatsuki?
As for Sasori, he did indiscriminately kill innocent people. In order to test his own abilities, Sasori used puppetry to directly defeat a country, causing that country's order to collapse.
Uchiha Izumi's previous wood clone had encountered Sasori before and knew that Sasori carried sins on his shoulders.
But if we disregard Sasori, the Akatsuki organization currently bears less sin than some nobles.
However, it's only because Uchiha Izumi didn't know that Hidan had joined the Akatsuki that he would have attacked the Akatsuki first, without them having to attack him first.
Unlike the other members of Akatsuki, Hidan is pure evil!
To him, whether they were commoners or ninjas, they were all offerings to the so-called evil god.
"burst!"
The moment Uchiha Izumi stopped, Pain and his group on the other side made their move.
"Boom!"
The terrifying explosion, so loud it seemed to make the very air groan, resounded throughout the region. A massive fireball shot into the sky, and the shockwave caused trees nearly a kilometer in size to collapse. The violent explosion seemed poised to turn the earth into a lake.
The intense heat scorched everything around it, and a gray mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
"Did it work?"
Kakuzu stared intently at the spot where Uchiha Ikezumi and Tachibana Jiro were standing, his eyes filled with anticipation.
The instantaneous explosion of what is equivalent to 300 million explosive tags is, in Kakuzu's view, enough to kill anyone in the entire ninja world. Even a tailed beast could die if it were to be hit head-on by such an impact.
But for some reason, Kakuzu felt a vague sense of unease and uncertainty.
"wrong!"
"What is that?"
Pain was the first to see the details of the explosion of the explosive tag. Even though the Rinnegan only existed in Pain's eyes through a special technique, it still gave him a vision far beyond that of ordinary people.
At the very center of the explosion, a massive Susanoo rose from the ground. When the smoke and dust cleared up a bit more, Nagato and the others even saw that the massive Susanoo enveloped Uchiha Izumi and Tachibana Jiro!
"Susanoo!"
"The power possessed only by the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan!"
As Pain gazed at the enormous humanoid figure, even his Rinnegan showed a rare flicker of emotion.
Nagato had seen the Ten-Tails, and even summoned it in a fit of extreme rage. In terms of height alone, Uchiha Izumi's Susanoo was not as tall as the Ten-Tails.
However, compared to the Ten-Tails that Nagato once summoned, Uchiha Izumi's Susanoo was more complete, and he even naturally carried a long sword in his hand.
"Is this the ultimate power of our Uchiha clan?"
Uchiha Izumi was enveloped in Susanoo, curiously observing everything around her.
The explosion occurred without warning, but Uchiha Izumi's speed was also extremely fast. When Uchiha Izumi was enveloped in Susanoo, he could even see the explosion still continuing outside!
"With such a massive explosion, did the Akatsuki bury all the explosive tags in the entire ninja world here?!"
Tachibana Jiro looked at everything before him with lingering fear. To put it bluntly, if Uchiha Ikezumi hadn't reacted quickly, this explosion would have truly reduced Tachibana Jiro to ashes.
"Hey, are we really going to fight a guy like this?"
"Even if I swing my scythe until it's broken, I'm not sure I can break through this guy's defenses, right?"
Hidan had already spotted the group of people encased in Susanoo. He was starting to regret joining this lousy organization. His first mission was this hellish one, and Hidan was really finding it unbearable!
"Abandon the second plan, I'll take direct action!"
Pain nodded in agreement. Kakuzu, Sasori, and even Hidan were all quite strong, but it was too much of a stretch to send them to fight Susanoo, since they were more suited to traditional ninja combat methods.
As for Pain and Uchiha Izumi, their fighting style was very un-ninja!
"Is the leader going to take action personally?"
"I really look forward to the power of God!"
Sasori's eyes brightened slightly inside Hiruko's body; in truth, he also coveted Pain's body.
However, Sasori had been severely beaten by Pain and knew that Pain's power was something he could not contend with.
"Boom!"
Just as the Akatsuki members spoke, Uchiha Izumi also made a move on the other side.
As the colossal Susanoo, comparable to a mountain, raised its hand, the massive sword, carrying a force almost enough to cleave mountains, hurtled straight toward the Akatsuki members.
That sword light even carved a huge scar on the earth, the air was wailing and the atmosphere was roaring!
"Spicy and spicy (Shinra Tensei)!"
Faced with the massive sword light flying towards them, Pain stepped in front of Kakuzu and the others to block it.
If that sword light were to actually land, Konan should be able to dodge it with her paper clones. Kakuzu would at most lose one life, and still have four lives to squander. Hidan would probably be hacked to pieces, whether he dies or not is another matter.
But Scorpion would probably be completely destroyed by this sword light, not even his heart could be saved!
Everyone in the Akatsuki could survive, but Sasori could only tough it out, and even that wasn't enough. Based on that alone, Sasori could easily leave the organization.
The power of Shinra Tensei allowed Pain to deflect any attacks that came near him.
Before the terrifying sword light could even get close to the Akatsuki group, it suddenly changed direction and exploded towards the other side of the mountain!
"How could a mere Uchiha like you possibly comprehend the power of a god!"
Seeing his Shinra Tensei deflected, Nagato spoke in a very pretentious manner.
