In front of him was a wasteland of ruins, collapsed buildings, scorched marks left behind by explosions, and countless broken corpses. The only thing that was missing was the aura of living people.
They were all dead bodies!
The scorching hot air was filled with a rancid smell. Some carnivorous insects were crawling on the rotten shells. Maggots grew on the cheeks that had been gnawed on. Below the empty eye sockets were skulls that were mottled with black blood.
"The Sand Village was also destroyed!"
Roughly counting, there were about 30 people, and they were the last survivors of Konoha. The leader was Jiraiya, and less than half of Konoha's 12 Roaches survived. They were Sakura, Inuzuka, Tien, Lee (and Uzumaki Naruto were taken away by the Akatsuki).
At this moment, they all looked at the ruins that had also been destroyed with numbness and despair, not knowing what to do.
"Was it done by the apostles?"
Everyone had such a doubt in their heart.
Konoha was destroyed, or rather, it was engulfed by the terrifying "darkness" and dragged into an incomprehensible abyss. They escaped hoping to seek shelter in the Sand Hidden Village, but … this inevitably made them think that the destruction of the Sand Hidden Village was also the work of the apostles.
"Two of the Five Great Hidden Villages were destroyed, the entire Shinobi World will usher in an unprecedented catastrophe!"
Jiraiya squatted on the ground and found two corpses that were pieced together from a pile of puppet wreckage. His withered and rotten claws were still holding a blood-stained rag with red clouds on a black background.
"The corpses of Ebizo and Chiyo, they were killed by the Akatsuki!"
Jiraiya tore off the cloth covered with black blood and held it in his palm, and his expression changed. "When the apostles attacked Konoha, the Akatsuki also destroyed the Sand Village."
These two organizations can change the structure of the Shinobi World, and now … both of them are acting together, and that kind of terrible despair is suffocating.
"The apostles' goal is still unclear, but Akatsuki's goal is tailed beasts!"
Jiraiya rubbed his cheeks fiercely, he glanced at Konoha's ninjas, and all he saw were pale faces, he said in a deep voice: "There is no time for us to wallow in grief, we are facing an unprecedented horror in the Shinobi World, we must inform the other villages about all these changes. You will divide into three teams and go to Cloud, Rock, and Mist respectively!"
The ninjas were in a heavy mood, but they could only nod and immediately split into three teams.
"Jiraiya-sama, what about you?"
"I'm going to find Akatsuki. I have to bring Naruto back!" Jiraiya replied, but in his heart, he was thinking, "The power of the apostles is too strange and terrifying, we must unite the power of the entire Shinobi World to have a glimmer of hope!"
…
Amegakure.
The continuous rain covered the world, and in the humid air, a figure with a black background and red clouds sat on a raised stone pier. In the center position, Gaara was entangled by a hooked rock chain, fixed to the ground and couldn't move.
A pitch-black pitcher plant slowly emerged from the ground, and a figure was struggling desperately in the crack. It was Uzumaki Naruto.
The violent and terrible Chakra was surging, as if it would tear the Nepenthes apart at any time. Nagato glanced over, and the Rinnegan rotated strangely. The space exuded gravitational fluctuations, like invisible chains entangled Uzumaki Naruto.
He also fell to the ground and was tied together with the unconscious Gaara on the ice-cold sealing formation engraved with seals.
"Konoha was destroyed by the apostles. No, I shouldn't use the word destroyed. The power of the apostles is not only destruction, but also the reversal of life and death. All the people killed by the apostles can be resurrected as puppets controlled by the apostles, and they have more tyrannical power than when they were alive!"
Under the vortex-shaped mask, a gloomy eye revealed a strange luster. His hand made a complicated seal, and the scene recorded by this pupil was refracted in the air again, like a movie, projecting the scene of Konoha being "destroyed" by the apostles.
After a while!
Dead silence, the silent pictures flashed until the last frame of the picture collapsed in the air. The members of Akatsuki looked at each other with cold faces and saw the horror in each other's eyes.
Each member of Akatsuki has touched the peak of the world, so they can see the strangeness and horror of the apostles from those pictures.
Incredible strange abilities, tyrannical immortal bodies, especially the black tide covering the entire Konoha, the resurrection of "Konoha ninja", this is no longer something that can be explained by "Ninjutsu".
These terrifying apostles were like monsters that had invaded from another world. The most terrifying thing was that the number of apostles was much greater than what they had expected.
"Apostles, I'm afraid they're not from this world!"
The vortex-shaped masked man said in a low voice, "Those incredible abilities are not the power of the ninjutsu system, but another completely different power system!"
The shocking news was like a boulder thrown into the sea, smashing a circle of ripples. The Akatsuki looked at each other, unable to digest this "absurdity" for a while, and their eyes showed a thoughtful look.
There was a short silence.
"Although it sounds unbelievable, judging from the apostles' behavior, their appearance is indeed untraceable. It's as though they appeared out of thin air. If it were just one or two of them, we could still say that it was a mistake in our intelligence work. However, with so many of them, it's impossible that we didn't have any clues before this. But the reality is that we have almost no clues about them!"
Kakuzu pinched his eyebrows. He has been living in the Shinobi World for a long time, but he has never heard of such a terrifying organization like the Apostles. After thinking for a while, he continued to add, "Moreover, their ability doesn't have Chakra fluctuations, it's the power of another system. If they are invaders from another world, then it makes sense."
"Another world!"
Nagato glanced at everyone, his red hair half covered his eyes, no emotion could be seen in his eyes. "The filth and decay of this world has fallen to the point that it's going to be destroyed by other worlds!"
His heart has long been forged into stone by suffering and death, and the more it is like this, the more he must carry out the established plan, this is the only way to save this world.
"Summoning Jutsu: Gedo Mazo!"
Nagato clasped his hands together, and ripples appeared in his eyes …
