Seeing this,
Obito in the distance suddenly looked grim.
From that simple Lightning Release just now, he knew he still couldn't underestimate this Kyo.
Sure enough, I had to use the Kitsune Ogre's hand to deal with him first...
However on this side,
What he didn't know was,
Beneath the distant Kitsune Ogre's mask, Kyo's face began to show a faint smile.
Because he knew,
Now,
Was when the real show was about to begin.
Likewise,
It was time to compete in acting skills.
At this moment,
After a long silence,
Obito in the distance suddenly spoke, saying deeply:
"..."
"A troublemaker seems to have appeared..."
His words instantly broke the silence of the scene.
And his meaning was naturally to hint to the Kitsune Ogre beside him to start preparing to deal with the Kyo who had now appeared.
However at this moment,
Hearing his words,
Kyo's Gigai here completely didn't intend to pay attention to him.
Instead, he leisurely looked up, glanced back at Deva Path and Konan, then slightly curled his lips and smiled:
"I know this sounds a bit late..."
"But, I'm back."
Seeing these familiar golden eyes and smile,
In an instant, Konan and Nagato were slightly stunned, then couldn't help but show somewhat helpless expressions.
Sure enough,
No matter when...
Kyo is always so calm and composed...
As if everything is a small matter.
But,
They were very clear,
This opponent this time was different from any opponent in the past.
It was an existence far beyond the dimensions of a Shinobi.
Even the powerful Kyo couldn't possibly defeat the opponent as easily as before.
He might even be killed in return.
Therefore,
Even though he had arrived,
The two couldn't be happy for now, still very grim.
A moment later,
Nagato spoke with a complicated expression, using Deva Path's mouth, heavily:
"Be careful, Kyo."
"That guy wearing the wolf mask is Uchiha Obito after his transformation..."
"And this time, in order to attack Akatsuki, he seems to have brought that Kitsune Ogre."
"That's right..."
"He's the Kitsune Ogre of Las Noches from back then in Kikyo Castle in the Land of Fire, who easily defeated the Fourth Raikage...
"My power is almost completely useless against him."
"So, even you, with your True Eye of the King..."
"Absolutely must not underestimate him."
Having said this,
Deva Path suddenly paused slightly, then lowered his gaze, and with an unprecedented complicated tone, was silent for a good long while before heavily saying firmly:
"This time, we have to rely on you..."
"Kyo!"
The heavy words fell,
Like a heavy hammer striking a huge drum, instantly exploding in Konan's heart.
Her pupils slightly constricted, and she couldn't help but freeze.
What's going on...
Nagato actually initiated asking for Kyo's help...?
Konan was naturally stunned.
Over ten years.
In these ten-plus years,
This was the first time Nagato had spoken such words.
Likewise, it was the first time he had initiated asking for help from someone else...
In the past,
No matter what opponent or difficulty Akatsuki encountered, Nagato could always use his Rinnegan to turn danger into safety and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Therefore, he had never entrusted anything to anyone.
Even the masked man was the same.
And today...
For the first time, he spoke to entrust Kyo...
For a moment,
It made Konan feel as if a generation had passed.
This boy, who had always called himself a "god", had finally begun to trust others as well...
Konan thought this in her heart,
As she looked at Kyo, her gaze couldn't help but be filled with a different light.
However at this moment,
What she didn't know was,
The reason Nagato spoke such words was not entirely due to trust.
But because,
He sensed hope.
Originally,
Before Kyo appeared,
He was already helpless against that enemy wearing the Kitsune Ogre mask.
Even using all the skills of his Rinnegan, he couldn't hurt the opponent at all....
Even Konan's explosive tags and Paper Release also hadn't affected him in the slightest.
However,
Even so,
He still keenly noticed,
Just now, before Kyo appeared, when that golden Lightning Release fell from the sky and struck towards Obito and the Kitsune Ogre,
A strange thing happened.
That originally very arrogant Kitsune Ogre,
Actually dodged.
That's right.
He did not, like when facing Pain and Konan's attacks earlier, directly tank them with his body.
Instead, he used a Body Flicker Technique to dodge at the first opportunity!
What did this mean?
It could only mean — he didn't dare to directly take this attack of Kyo's!
That's why he used evasion for the first time.
Because this was the instinct of life.
Realizing this,
Nagato's heart naturally began to rise with a glimmer of hope.
Maybe... there was a chance to win!
Therefore,
At this special moment, he spoke to request Kyo's help.
After all, the Akatsuki had finally come this far; he didn't want to see all his hard work over ten years go up in flames.
Now, he could only hope for Kyo's battle...
The black rain still swayed wildly across the sky.
And on this side, upon hearing Pain's words, Kyo couldn't help but slightly raise an eyebrow, then chuckled lightly:
"Leave it to me."
As the words fell,
He leisurely turned back again and looked towards the Kitsune Ogre ahead.
Their eyes met,
And in Kyo's heart, a faint smile appeared.
What he needed to do next was very simple.
He just needed to defeat that Kitsune Ogre in front of the few people present, and this battle of Las Noches vs Akatsuki would be perfectly concluded.
As for Obito, that was even easier.
Thinking this,
Kyo slowly placed his hand on the black blade at his waist, then slowly drew the blade.
To be honest,
Since mastering Hakuda Combat and Kido proficiently,
He hadn't drawn his Zanpakuto for several years, let alone released it.
But this time,
Since it was acting, he naturally needed to be a little more serious.
Fortunately,
Kyo's Gigai now was not as fragile as a few years ago,
Even with only one-third of the original body's strength, as long as he was a little serious, and let the original body Kitsune Ogre hold back a little, he could also easily create the effect of a great battle...
Even without Shikai, he could create a quite oppressive scene.
Thinking this,
Kyo's blade was fully drawn.
Under the rainstorm, it reflected a chilling, murderous light.
And at this moment,
Sure enough,
Upon seeing this scene of drawing the blade,
Whether it was Obito opposite, or Nagato and Konan on this side, they were all slightly shaken.
Everyone's hearts had a trace of horror.
What's going on?
He actually drew his blade directly?!
For several years now... it seemed they hadn't really seen him fight with his blade drawn...
Unexpectedly this time,
Facing this Kitsune Ogre of Las Noches, he drew his blade right from the start...
Sure enough, even he was serious too....?!
The three of them also became serious, becoming extremely grim.
As people who had interacted with Kyo for so many years, they couldn't possibly not know his personality.
He was someone who would never stand if he could sit.
No matter when, he could always appear very leisurely and relaxed, and finally, calmly end the battle.
But unexpectedly, this time, he was serious from the start...
It seemed,
That Kitsune Ogre was indeed not simple.
Everyone's hearts were filled with emotion as they watched Kyo intently.
