I've Already Confronted the Five Kage, and the System Just Arrived!

Chapter 211: Chapter 211



When Nagato realized that he was nothing more than a pawn in someone else's game, that everything he had done was merely paving the way for another, and that the ideals he had fought for were insignificant in the eyes of others, he couldn't help but laugh.

Even though he had now learned the truth, he no longer had the power to change anything.

Not long ago, he had proudly proclaimed himself a "god," but now, after this revelation, anger, pain, and resentment no longer seemed to matter.

All he felt now was that he was a joke.

A god? Heh.

Next to him, Konan's emotions had stabilized.

If "Uchiha Madara" were here, she would have already showered him with billions of explosive tags out of sheer rage.

Gensou watched them for a moment, feeling that he had seen enough of the spectacle, and then spoke:

"I've told you the truth. Now, will you willingly give me the Rinnegan, or shall I take it by force?"

Nagato didn't respond.

Konan, however, stood in front of him, her cold gaze fixed on Gensou. "You also plan to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan now that you know the truth, don't you?"

Gensou nodded. "Otherwise, why would I bother seeking you out? The Rinnegan is the key to the Eye of the Moon Plan."

"You want to trap the entire world in an illusion-a false peace. How can someone like you accept that?"

Konan found it incomprehensible, even absurd.

A lie is still a lie!

A world of peace built on an illusion was never the kind of peace she had hoped to see.

It was nothing more than deceiving oneself, deceiving others, and deceiving the entire world. Compared to that, Nagato's plan using the tailed beast weapon seemed more realistic.

At least in that plan, the people of the ninja world were living in the real world, not in some fabricated dream where everything around them-the people, the things, the experiences- was a lie.

Upon hearing this, Gensou simply responded, "The world is too noisy; it needs to quiet down."

Indeed, it needed a little quiet.

Just a little.

Then things could return to their normal noisy state.

Gensou thought to himself.

Although he planned to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi, he had never truly intended to carry out the full Eye of the Moon Plan, nor did he have any plans to destroy the world.

All he wanted was to take a little something from everyone.

People pay for brief moments of pleasure.

Gensou would give the world a short, real-world nap while they experienced a long, dream- world paradise, where everyone could fulfill their ideals and have fun. And they wouldn't remain trapped in the dream forever.

All he would take as payment was a bit of their chakra, which they could easily recover.

How could anyone not see this as a great act of kindness?

Of course, the fewer people who knew about this plan before it was completed, the better.

Especially not Konan and Nagato, whom he had only just met.

Thus, Gensou concluded to Konan, "A false peace is still peace."

Konan's gaze sharpened.

She couldn't understand why both "Uchiha Madara" and Gensou were so obsessed with this false world of peace.

But for the sake of Nagato, and for the ideals she held dear, she couldn't allow the Rinnegan to fall into Gensou's hands and turn the future into what the Eye of the Moon Plan envisioned.

Therefore...

Konan raised her hands, and in an instant, countless paper sheets gathered in the air, transforming into razor-sharp paper shuriken, whistling through the air as they shot toward Gensou from all directions.

"Impressive courage."

Gensou was somewhat surprised by Konan's actions.

Perhaps this woman, who had always followed behind her companions without voicing her own opinions, had her own inner resolve when it came to peace.

Just like in the original story, where, even after learning that Nagato had been manipulated by Uchiha Obito, she continued to uphold Akatsuki's founding ideals, staying true to her vision of peace.

"Come to think of it, Konan was also convinced by Naruto's talk-no-jutsu."

As the paper shuriken flew toward him, Gensou even had time to muse on this.

In the original story, when Naruto used his talk-no-jutsu on Nagato, Konan had been right beside him.

Given her character, if she hadn't truly believed in what Naruto said, she would have stopped Nagato from using the Rinne Tensei no Jutsu and attacked Naruto herself.

Women, sometimes they only hear what they want to hear.

But Gensou wasn't going to let her off so easily.

As the barrage of paper shuriken neared him, Gensou opened his mouth, spewing a highly corrosive mist.

In an instant, the paper shuriken were dissolved completely.

Boom!

A heavy sonic boom rang out.

In a flash, Gensou took a step forward, appearing in front of Konan before she could react, his

hand wrapping around her slender neck. With a forceful squeeze-

Rustle~

Konan's body instantly transformed into thousands of paper sheets.

And not just her.

Gensou's gaze shifted toward Nagato, who, along with his bed, had also transformed into countless paper sheets, which swirled in the air and began to wrap themselves around Gensou, as if trying to encase him like a mummy.

Gensou casually waved his hand, summoning a gust of wind that blew the paper sheets far

away.

Then, turning to face Konan and Nagato, who had reappeared not far away, he nodded in

approval.

"A very well-executed disguise."

"But that's not all!" Konan shouted, pressing her hand down.

Suddenly-

The ground beneath Gensou's feet was revealed to be covered with explosive tags.

Sizzle~~~

All the explosive tags ignited at once.

The Kami no Shisha no Jutsu's camouflage effect was so perfect that not even a Mangekyo

Sharingan could see through it.

Konan had developed this technique not only to protect Nagato but also as a countermeasure

against "Uchiha Madara's" space-time abilities.

She had even calculated the time limit of "Madara's" phasing ability and spent years

stockpiling explosive tags.

Unfortunately, she hadn't accounted for Izanagi.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of earth-shaking explosions erupted, accompanied by a massive mushroom cloud.

Although Konan wasn't carrying her full six billion explosive tags, she still had thousands.

While Nagato and Gensou had been talking, she had secretly laid the explosive tags in place, ready for this moment.

Such a powerful explosion was beyond the defense of ordinary ninjutsu or physical strength.

Konan was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Schlk!

A hand pierced through her chest from behind.

"Your paper jutsu is impressive," Gensou's voice came from behind her, genuinely

complimenting her.

Paper Style wasn't a kekkei genkai, and yet, despite only being trained by Jiraiya for three years, Konan had developed it to such a degree-her talent far exceeded most people's

imagination.

Even now, Gensou's technique of sneaking up on her, reminiscent of Black Zetsu, would have

taken down even Madara.

Although there was now a gaping hole in Konan's chest, it could be seen that her entire body

was made of paper.

The Shikigami no Mai technique allowed her to transform her body into countless paper

sheets, making her immune to physical attacks.

Even in Gensou's eyes, it was a remarkable jutsu.

Of course, it wasn't without its weaknesses.

Gensou opened his right hand, which was still inside Konan's body, and like a black hole, it

began to absorb all the surrounding chakra.

Though Konan had turned into paper, the chakra maintaining the jutsu was still there, and now it was being rapidly sucked into Gensou's hand.

As her chakra was drained, Konan could no longer maintain the Shikigami no Mai, and her

paper form began to revert to her true body. The gaping hole in her chest would soon become

a reality.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At that moment, Nagato finally made a move.

"Banshō Ten'in!"

He stretched out his hand, and the remaining paper from Konan's body flew back to him.

The paper quickly reformed, restoring Konan's body, though she appeared weak and

exhausted.

Nagato didn't attack again.

He looked at Gensou with calm resignation and said,

"There's no need to fight. I'll give you the Rinnegan."
