The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 65 The New Order of Peace in the Ninja World

Itachi charged toward Sasori like a madman, while Sasori leaped and bounded, his chakra threads wrapping around the many Konoha ninjas. Once they were touched, they would immediately lose control and be manipulated as puppets to fight Itachi.

Itachi remained silent and expressionless as he faced his fellow villagers, simply using his Susanoo to whack them one by one, like playing whack-a-mole.

All the ninjas controlled by Sasori were beaten to a pulp by him, each punch a tiny biscuit.

"No, Itachi, if you're one of our fellow villagers, then hurry and save them!"

"How could you attack your own fellow villagers?"

Despite the cries for help from the villagers, Itachi remained silent and focused solely on his attack, letting the flesh and blood of his comrades drip slowly from Susanoo's fist.

"Itachi, you don't have the Will of Fire at all!"

"So you really are a traitorous ninja!"

After failing to get help from Itachi, Kotetsu and the others decided to treat Itachi as an enemy as well, splitting the team into two groups: one to attack Sasori, and the other to stop Itachi from killing.

However, Itachi and Sasori completely ignored the existence of these ordinary ninjas, focusing all their defenses on each other.

One side, using the puppet ninja's control, tries to reconnect the Kazekage puppet, while the other side relentlessly thwarts Sasori's plan.

The two of them, one controlling and the other killing, wiped out a group of Konoha ninjas in a short time.

In the end, only the two of them remained facing off.

"Let's see where you hide this time!"

Itachi's eyes blazed with fire, and his Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly as he launched another attack on Sasori.

"Amaterasu!"

Without the puppet's protection, Scorpion finally had nowhere to hide and was completely surrounded by the raging black flames.

"So, it can't last forever after all?"

"Puppetry techniques ultimately have their limits!"

Scorpion uttered a faint sigh before being completely burned to ashes in the black flames.

Itachi withdrew his Susanoo, took a few deep breaths, wiped away the blood and tears from his eyes, and instantly left, rushing towards the Hokage Building, just in time to catch the Third Hokage preparing to use the Reaper Death Seal on Pain.

Itachi spoke up in time to warn the Third Hokage, saving him from danger.

He instantly appeared beside the Third Hokage and revealed all the information he knew.

Upon hearing this information, the Third Hokage broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly summoned Nara Shikazumi, instructing him:

"Luquan, immediately share all the information with everyone."

After giving his instructions, the Third Hokage looked at Itachi with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction, and praised him:

"Itachi, I knew I wasn't wrong about you. You truly possess the Will of Fire!"

"As expected of a ninja who could think like a Hokage even at a young age!"

"The Will of Fire?" Itachi lowered his head with a blank expression, but there was no happy look on his face.

Having lost his anchor of humanity, Itachi's heart was filled only with obsession, and he completely disregarded the Will of Fire or any other nonsense.

"Are you done talking?"

Seeing that the bait plan had failed, Payne, who was in the sky, was not in a hurry. He simply said coldly:

"In the face of absolute power, all efforts are futile!"

"This is something that you major powers have already proven."

"Even if you know our information, what can you do about it?"

"Illusory hope will only bring you more despair."

"The ninja world order established by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha has long been proven to be a failure."

"Your attempt to achieve a balance of power among the villages using the power of the Tailed Beasts is simply impossible!"

"The five great powers are currently waging war against each other, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. However, because the strength of the five great powers is not much different, they can never determine a true winner and can only launch wars again and again."

"Small countries caught between large countries can only be forced into war, becoming cannon fodder in the hands of large countries, desperately seeking peace but unable to obtain it."

"The root cause of all this lies in this flawed ninja world order!"

"What we are now trying to establish is a true and lasting peace order!"

"It is a peaceful order that all nations and ninja villages in the ninja world must abide by!"

"This is not a false peace enjoyed only by the people of the Five Great Nations, but a universal peace order from which everyone in the entire ninja world can benefit!"

"If you truly love peace, then simply follow our rules, and Konoha Village will naturally remain safe and sound!"

"But if you insist on clinging to your hypocritical and peaceful order that places you above small nations, then you will face divine punishment!"

As if to confirm Payne's words, in a corner of the village, a large, fiery red fox suddenly appeared out of thin air, raised its head, and let out a long howl.

"Oh no! Naruto's in trouble!"

The Third Hokage's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said to Itachi:

"Itachi, your Sharingan is most effective against tailed beasts. The village needs your power now. Go and wake up Naruto quickly. We can't let the tailed beasts harm the village."

"it is good."

Itachi agreed and turned to leave, but Pain in the sky suddenly raised his hand.

"Universal Guidance!"

A tremendous suction force suddenly appeared out of nowhere, binding Itachi and lifting him up, sending him flying towards Pain's direction.

While in mid-air, Itachi activated Susanoo with a whirlwind of his Mangekyou Sharingan and swung his massive fist at Pain.

Payne flicked his wrist and pressed down.

"Shinra Tensei!"

The suction force immediately turned into a repulsive force, like slamming a ball, and slammed Susanoo's massive body down.

"boom!"

Like an earthquake, the earth cracked open, smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and shockwaves swept hundreds of meters, completely embedding Susanoo's energy body into the ground.

The massive tremor caused Itachi to cough up blood, but he simply wiped it away and manipulated Susanoo to rise again, brandishing his longsword and pointing it at Pain.

Driven by chakra, the longsword in Susanoo's hand suddenly grew longer, like an infinitely extending laser sword, and stabbed forward fiercely.

Pain pulled his body upwards to avoid the longsword, but Susanoo twisted his wrist, and the longsword relentlessly pursued Pain's body, slashing incessantly.

However, Pain, who was not confined to a space, was very agile, floating around in the sky, and Susanoo's longsword could not touch him at all.

Five seconds later, Payne raised his hand and slapped it again.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Faced with such a powerful repulsive force, Susanoo had no power to resist at all. It was overturned, rolled a long distance on the ground, smashed countless pavilions and towers, and crushed countless unfortunate ninjas before finally coming to a stop.

Itachi gently wiped away the blood and tears from his eyes, manipulated Susanoo to get up, and prepared to challenge Pain again.

But then a flash of black light appeared on the horizon, and a Tailed Beast Ball streaked across the sky, landing precisely in the territories of each clan.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, a mushroom cloud rose out of nowhere, soaring into the clouds. The shockwave from the massive explosion even reached the Hokage Building, where a strong wind was felt on their faces, and the blinding white light nearly blinded them.

The scene fell silent instantly, and everyone stared blankly at the mushroom cloud.

But after regaining their senses, the people of Konoha almost went crazy.

"Look what you've done!" The Third Hokage's eyes widened in fury, his whole body trembling. "Those were just ordinary villagers, not even ninjas! How could you be so heartless..."

"Those who have never experienced suffering cannot understand the preciousness of peace!" Payne said calmly, standing in the air above everyone, his back to the light.

"Do you understand suffering now?"

"Are you willing to abide by the new peaceful order we have established?"

"Shut up!" The Third Hokage's eyes were bloodshot, his right hand gripping the Adamantine Staff tightly, raised high towards Pain. "You're a bunch of murderous maniacs!"

"What peace and order are you talking about?"

"Do you even deserve it?"

"Peace in the ninja world cannot be achieved through force alone!"

"Where leaves dance in the air, the fire will never die!"

"The spirit of Konoha will never die; no force can subdue Konoha!"

He turned to look at Itachi beside him and gave the order:

"Itachi, we'll handle this guy. You go stop the Tailed Beast!"

"We absolutely cannot allow it to unleash a second Tailed Beast Ball!"
