If there were a physical way to describe the scene at this moment, Gojo Kaigetsu would use the word - angelic.

Paper wings fluttered in the air, stirring up a chilling wind. Konan spoke coldly to Gojo Kaigetsu, her voice soothing and distant:

"Gojo Kaigetsu, for the sake of peace in the Shinobi world, you must die."

"Wait! Konan-san!" Gojo Kaigetsu raised his hand unexpectedly, not caring that he was older than Konan. He stopped her, "Before you do this, don't you think it would be more beneficial to the Shinobi world if Nagato were to die instead?"

"Compared to Nagato's naive idea of using the nine tailed beasts to create the ultimate weapon to threaten the Shinobi world, it's obviously more feasible for Konoha to unify the four great nations, right?"

Hearing this, Konan's hands, which were forming seals, paused, and a hint of barely perceptible panic appeared on her impassive face.

How did Gojo Kaigetsu know her identity? She was clearly wearing a mask…

In that instant, Perhaps Konan's heart accepted Gojo Kaigetsu's words.

Even with the Rinnegan… Nagato's power was still too weak to intimidate the Five Great Nations.

Most importantly, to do that, Nagato's body would be completely ruined. His vibrant red hair would turn lifeless white from the loss of vitality.

A peace in the Shinobi world without the bonds of friendship was not the peace Konan wanted!

Moreover, if she dropped her insistence on the bonds of friendship she had maintained for over a decade because of a few words from Gojo Kaigetsu, then her bonds of friendship would be far too cheap, wouldn't it?

Then she, Konan, would be an unqualified companion, wouldn't she?!

"Shut up! Gojo Kaigetsu! You don't understand anything!"

"Then tell me about it, Konan-san. Do we have to use violence between Shinobi to solve problems? Is this the peace you've been pursuing all this time?"

"If even two people with different stances can't talk to each other, how can we expect peace between villages, between nations?"

Gojo Kaigetsu was a master of bullshitting. Konan was still formulating her words, and he had already unleashed a series of verbal ninjutsu attacks.

Konan struggled to form a response, finally uttering a cold, "I don't need to explain myself to you. You wouldn't understand!"

"Paper Release: Paper Wing Expansion!"

"Paper Release: Divine Treasury!"

Konan's paper wings expanded, taking on a majestic form. When Konan spread her wings and soared, they looked like clouds hanging on the horizon…

Divine Treasury was an advanced form of Konan's Thousand Paper Shuriken, a secondary application of her Paper Style.

True to its name, it was the secondary use of her paper techniques, transforming into thousands of paper weapons that could fatally wound the enemy, a cruel ninjutsu.

Konan's massive paper wings began to split into countless pieces of paper, like a banknote counter. The paper rapidly reconfigured in the air, changing into all kinds of ninja tools.

Besides paper shuriken, there were paper spears, paper blades, paper halberds… and even cylindrical paper swords.

Konan's right hand was raised high above her head, like an arrogant queen.

Beneath the mask, her eyes were filled with complex emotions.

In that moment, Konan saw a vision of the future.

Gojo Kaigetsu would be smashed to a pulp by her Paper Treasury in the next second, and after returning to the original timeline, Konoha would learn of Gojo Kaigetsu's death in Suna.

The Fourth Shinobi World War would erupt because of this, and the entire ninja world would be plunged into chaos.

And in this chaotic time, Akatsuki would thrive, collecting the tailed beasts everywhere and creating the ultimate weapon that could destroy a nation in a single second. Finally, the ninja world would be afraid of this power, and peace would be achieved under this deterrent…

Countless people would die in the process.

And Gojo Kaigetsu would be the first!

Konan didn't dare to think about how much guilt she would feel after killing Gojo Kaigetsu. It was a weight that not even her paper wings could bear.

But she had no choice!

If she had a choice…

"I also want to be a good person!" Underneath the mask, Konan somehow shed tears, streaming down her expressionless, fair face, over her light purple eyeshadow, and soaking her lip stud.

Konan closed her eyes calmly, unable to bear to see the scene in the next moment.

Her raised hand fell heavily.

In the next second—

The thousands of ninja tools formed from Paper Treasure rained down like a landslide, engulfing the isolated and helpless Gojo Kaigetsu.

As for Konan's ability, Gojo Kaigetsu had a good idea.

Because he was well-informed, he was a bit surprised to see Konan use such a ninjutsu… It seemed that under the influence of emotions, even the power that Konan could use had become stronger.

This was the ninja world, after all – a world that ran on talking and a power system based on emotions.

In Gojo Kaigetsu's memory, in the original timeline, Sasori was recruited by Konan alone. Although there was an element of restraint, Konan's victory over Sasori, who had the Third Kazekage puppet, was an undeniable fact.

At the very least, she was at the level of an Elite Jonin, if not higher.

Later, although Konan was defeated in her battles against Jiraiya and Obito, this didn't mean that Konan was weak. It was also partly due to being countered.

Jiraiya was Konan's teacher and knew how to counter the Paper Release. He used Toad Oil to render Konan's Paper Release useless.

And Obito had nearly been killed by her sea of six hundred billion explosive tags created by the Paper Person of God Technique. He'd survived only by using the Uchiha's forbidden jutsu, Izanagi, sacrificing one of his Sharingan in the process. He'd then… killed her.

As for Konan's strength, there is still no clear definition.

But now, Gojo Kaigetsu understood.

A saturated, all-around attack, completely sealing off any possibility of escape, trapping him in a tiny space.

The moment an ordinary ninjutsu cut the paper, the paper ninja tools would instantly be replaced by explosive tags with incredible explosive power.

Because of the Six Eyes, Gojo Kaigetsu was certain that the paper used to make these ninja tools was just ordinary waterproof and fireproof paper.

But unexpectedly, the moment they were cut, these ordinary pieces of paper were replaced by Konan with explosive tags powerful enough to easily kill a Chunin.

"Paper Release, it's simple and crude."

Gojo Kaigetsu gave a pertinent evaluation.

Her means of attacking the enemy were the most extraordinary, but no more than the quantity of explosive tags.

The types of paper ninja tools were all things that could be created in the ninja world.

Simple, crude, and loaded, she didn't even need the original Edo Tensei to serve as a human bomb, combined with the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags technique.

The range of the airtight bombardment, throwing explosive tags without regard for cost, was the large-scale version of the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags – the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags Sea!

Konan… had caught up to the Second Hokage.

The existence of Konan proved to ordinary Shinobi that as long as the ninja tools were well-crafted and in sufficient quantity, they could still grind down a Kage-level powerhouse.

When facing "ordinary Shinobi," Konan's abilities were very strong. But when facing true powerhouses, the Paper Release would face the embarrassment of not being able to break through their defenses.

If Gojo Kaigetsu were just an ordinary Chunin, he might have died in this endless Paper Release bombardment.

But…

Gojo Kaigetsu had never been an ordinary Shinobi.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The paper bombs exploded in quick succession, engulfing Gojo Kaigetsu.

The power of the explosive tags was unable to harm Gojo Kaigetsu in the slightest. The power of the explosions stopped at the infinitesimal gap, unable to move forward. In the thick smoke, he stood unscathed.

Gojo Kaigetsu took off the black silk blindfold that had been covering his eyes all this time. A pair of brilliant Six Eyes shone with extraordinary light.

To counter Paper Release, besides Jiraiya's Toad Oil, there were also space-time ninjutsu.

Whether it was Obito's Kamui, Minato's Flying Raijin, or Pain's Almighty Push, they could all easily break through the threat of the Paper Release.

And Gojo Kaigetsu just happened to be a space-time ninjutsu user.

"Konan~"

Gojo Kaigetsu raised his hand, aiming his palm at Konan in the sky.
