Chapter 100: The Choice

In an instant, everything within a radius of several hundred meters centered on Bai was frozen.

Whether it was Uchiha Itachi, Kakuzu, Hoshigaki Kisame, or the man with the Rinnegan, all were frozen under this power.

Not only their bodies, but even the chakra within them could not flow.

Even their brains were moving at a sluggish pace.

And in this completely frozen space-time, the only person who could move was Bai.

Needless to say, this move was again Wang Bo's fault.

With Wang Bo's help, Bai developed this technique, whose power was unimaginably great. Although this ninjutsu could not truly freeze space-time or stop time,

it could reduce all motion within space-time to a limit, nearly freezing it. Ordinary people had no way to counter this technique; only Wang Bo and Silver Superman could possibly do so.

Even the Sage of Six Paths, after being hit by this technique, would be frozen.

Bai flickered and appeared before the man with the Rinnegan, extending two fingers to gouge out the eyes from the man's sockets. He intended to give these eyes to Wang Bo.

However, once the eyes fell into Bai's hands, they quickly turned into ordinary eyes.

Bai was momentarily stunned.

Then he realized that the man before him was not actually a living person, but merely a puppet. This greatly diminished Bai's interest, and he directly cut off the man's head.

After that, Bai walked up to Uchiha Itachi and sealed him.

Kakuzu and Hoshigaki Kisame also did not escape; they were likewise sealed by Bai.

As for the enemy hidden in the shadows, Bai ignored him, because this technique consumed too much chakra. In just a few seconds, half of Bai's sage chakra was depleted.

So Bai had no time to search for the enemy lurking in the dark. After canceling the technique, he took the three sealed ninja and headed straight for the Land of Fire.

As for the Land of Lightning, it was not worth going there.

He had to report the attack to his master, Wang Bo, as soon as possible.

Bai sped along like the wind and soon returned to the Land of Fire. He arrived at the capital, found Wang Bo handling official business, and handed over Uchiha Itachi, Kakuzu, Hoshigaki Kisame, and Samehada all at once.

At the same time, he recounted the entire incident of the attack in detail from beginning to end.

After hearing this, Wang Bo nodded and said, "Good work. I understand the situation. Go and rest now."

Bai nodded and withdrew.

Wang Bo looked at the three sealed prisoners and couldn't help but click his tongue. Bai didn't know who had attacked him, but how could Wang Bo not know?

Bai had clearly been attacked by members of the Akatsuki.

Moreover, the man with the Rinnegan who appeared at the end was obviously Nagato's Pain, the Deva Path, and also Nagato's close friend.

To be honest, Wang Bo had never taken the Akatsuki seriously.

Even when the Akatsuki took the Nine-Tails jinchuriki while Wang Bo was attacking Konoha, Wang Bo didn't care, because the Akatsuki posed no threat to him at all.

Nagato had the Rinnegan, but he was undoubtedly a sickly man.

Since Yahiko's death, his feet had been burned by Hanzo's Exploding Flame Formation jutsu, and coupled with the heavy toll of using the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path for so long, he had essentially lost the ability to walk, requiring mechanical assistance to move.

Wang Bo had never paid much attention to someone like that.

Although Obito Uchiha stood behind the Akatsuki, Wang Bo didn't care either; Obito Uchiha now was nothing more than a man relying on his peculiar Mangekyō Sharingan.

Those eyes held no threat in front of Wang Bo.

If they did, he wouldn't have had his arm cut off by Wang Bo.

As for Madara Uchiha, who stood behind Obito Uchiha, he should already be dead by now, so Wang Bo cared even less. Even if he were revived by Impure World Reincarnation, what use would that be?

Wang Bo could beat an incomplete Madara Uchiha with one hand.

And Black Zetsu, who stood behind Madara Uchiha, was even more useless. His mother had been sealed for a thousand years, and he still hadn't managed to rescue her—a complete waste.

Wang Bo remembered that before he transmigrated, many people online jokingly called Black Zetsu's full name 'Black·Chenxiang·Zetsu.'

But Wang Bo wanted to say that this was the worst slander Chenxiang had ever suffered.

Before Chenxiang was born, his mother was imprisoned by the Jade Emperor.

But after he grew up, he quickly rescued his mother. From start to finish, Chenxiang only took a little over twenty years to save her.

And Black Zetsu?

A thousand years—a full thousand years—and he still hadn't rescued his mother from the moon, proving that Black Zetsu was a complete and utter waste.

Wang Bo didn't believe that in a thousand years, the ninja world had never produced figures on the level of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Moreover, the two sons of the Sage of Six Paths.

Indra and Ashura had reincarnated countless times, yet Black Zetsu still failed to seize the opportunity, taking a full thousand years to rescue Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

Wang Bo guessed that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki probably never imagined that the youngest son she created would be so useless.

A thousand years—Wang Bo really didn't know how Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had struggled and waited for a thousand years in that sunless place on the moon.

Anyone else would have gone mad by now.

No wonder Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, after being released, was defeated by Naruto's Reverse Harem Jutsu. After being imprisoned for a thousand years without seeing a man, suddenly seeing so many handsome men, it was only natural she would be tempted.

This blame, Black Zetsu couldn't escape.

Even Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki and Hamura Ōtsutsuki could seal their mother, yet as a son, Black Zetsu took a thousand years to rescue his mother—he had utterly disgraced the Ōtsutsuki clan.

Ahem, I've digressed.

In short, Wang Bo didn't care about the Akatsuki; he had never taken them seriously.

But the Akatsuki came to him, and Pain's Deva Path personally attacked his subordinate, Haku. To Wang Bo, that was an outright provocation.

Wang Bo naturally wouldn't sit idly by; instead, he would strike back hard.

So Wang Bo snapped his fingers, waking the unconscious Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Kakuzu.

After the three understood their current situation, Wang Bo calmly said, 'I'll give you a choice!'
