In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning.

Chapter 168 The real peak showdown, Yagyu VS Pain Six Paths
"Ahem... It hurts. Is this the strength of the original body?"

The air wave spread to an unknown distance. Naruto broke free from the air wave and fell heavily to the ground.

As soon as he landed, he started coughing and even spat out blood.

Fortunately, his physique is that of a true immortal, and he is in the golden body form and immortal mode with greatly increased defense. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured and had internal bleeding from his internal organs after being hit head-on by Pain's Shinra Tensei.

Even so, Naruto felt that his internal organs were churning and burning with pain.

whoosh-

On the other side, Uchiha Sasuke successfully avoided the roaring air wave with lightning speed.

At the same time, the power of the pupils was released, forming an absolute purple and transparent defense, which could resist the aftermath of the storm or the repulsive force.

Bones and meridians quickly evolved, and the purple Yintun chakra soon formed a mature Susanoo with only the upper body.

The bow and arrow gathered together, and Uchiha Sasuke, like before, shot an arrow wrapped in eternal black flames at Pain's Six Paths.

The purple beam of light shot out like a meteor.

But I don’t know if it was because he had fought before, or if Pain’s Six Paths were just too ridiculously powerful at this moment.

Facing Uchiha Sasuke's arrow that even the Five Kage would be very afraid of, the Hungry Ghost Path did not stand in front of Pain's Six Paths and absorb the arrow alone.

Instead, he and the other Pains instantly appeared behind Heavenly Path Pain, standing in a fan shape. Then Hungry Ghost Path opened his arms, and a transparent white round light shield covered the Six Paths Pain.

The huge arrow with eternal black flames fell on the light shield, just like Naruto's previous fairy technique, the Super Giant Rasengan. It did not make a deafening sound, but instead twisted into a shape, quickly turned into fluid and poured into the body of the hungry ghost.

In just a few seconds, the huge black flame arrows were all absorbed by the hungry ghost realm.

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Sasuke's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

Obviously, he did not expect that the transparent white light shield created by the Hungry Ghost Realm could cover the entire area.

This is completely different from the previous hemispherical shield.

Just like Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke also thought that this was the true strength of Pain's Six Paths.

However, what shocked them was yet to come.

After the Hungry Ghost Path absorbed the black flame arrow, the transparent white light shield covering the Six Paths of Pain did not disappear, but continued to remain as it was.

Tendo Pain, who had already released his repulsive force, opened his arms.

Then the invisible gravity, like an invisible big hand, lifted Pain's Six Paths into the air.

Seeing this, it was Yagyu's turn to change his expression slightly.

Snapped--

He clapped his hands without hesitation, and blue flames emerged from the surrounding air and gathered towards his body.

A red mask appeared around the corners of Yagyu's eyes.

Soon, Yagyu's pupils turned golden, and he had entered the sage mode.

At this time, Pain's Six Paths had already risen to a height of one hundred meters.

During this period, a large number of Five Elements escape techniques attacked, and even Uchiha Sasuke released Amaterasu's Black Flame many times, as well as Naruto's Sage Wind escape technique, Rasenshuriken.

Konoha has deployed all the active ninjas, and there are countless smart people in it.

Anyone with a little knowledge, or the instinctive warning of a strong man, can feel that Pain's Six Paths is not just ordinary floating in the air. The opponent must be accumulating strength and preparing to perform powerful ultimate-level ninjutsu.

So, they all wanted to interrupt Pain's Six Paths' spell.

Unfortunately, no matter whether it was the Five Elements Escape Technique, Naruto's Sage Wind Style - Rasenshuriken, or even Uchiha Sasuke's Amaterasu Black Flame that appeared out of thin air, they were unable to hurt Pain's Six Paths at all. As soon as they approached and appeared, they were absorbed by the transparent white light shield that always covered Pain's Six Paths.

The body of the hungry ghost is like a bottomless pit. No matter how many ninjutsu there are or how strong the chakra is, it will be quickly absorbed.

Moreover, after these ninjutsu were absorbed, they were transferred to Tendo Pain through Yin-Yang Release: Black Rod, making Tendo Pain, whose chakra was already surging, even more vast.

When the Six Paths of Pain stopped taking off, Deva Pain had already finished accumulating power.

He kept his arms open, looking down at the 30,000 Konoha ninjas and White Zetsu clones below him like a god, and spoke indifferently:
"Super-Shinra Tensei!"

Swah——

In an instant, the dazzling white light illuminated the rainy land covered by dark clouds and drizzling rain.

The light was so bright that all the Konoha ninjas and White Zetsu clones below subconsciously stopped fighting. After looking up at the sky, they immediately closed their eyes or raised their hands to block their eyes.

This is true whether it is a Genin or a powerful Jonin.

Only those members of the Hyuga clan who had opened their Byakugan, or the elite jonin with amazing perception and strength, stared at the sky with wide eyes and expressions of horror.

To be precise, they were watching the sudden and violent change in the nature of chakra, which was like a raging storm.

Such a vast amount of chakra, such amazing and powerful changes in properties, they had never seen or heard of before.

Even those strong people who were fortunate enough to see the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball during the Nine-Tails Rebellion did not think that the Tailed Beast Ball could be compared with it.

But soon, their horror turned into despair.

Because they discovered that this vast ocean of chakra was flooding downwards.

Faced with this jutsu which was even more terrifying than the Tailed Beast Ball, even Kakashi Hatake, who had activated his Kamui, felt insignificant.

Only Uchiha Sasuke had a look of unwillingness on his face. He was about to release all his eye power, preparing to use the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, which he had not yet fully mastered, to activate the complete form of Susanoo.

Naruto was also recalling the teachings of Killer Bee in the outside world when he mastered the power of the tailed beast, as well as the teachings of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki who met him in his body, as if he wanted to perform something.

At this moment, the rain curtain was dispelled by the white light. On the battlefield, which had become extremely silent because everyone had stopped fighting, an inspiring voice suddenly rang out:

"Senjutsu...Wood Release: All-Blouse Bag Technique!"

"Sage Technique... Wood Style: Ranking Technique!" Boom boom boom...

The earth shook violently, and dozens or even twenty people holding thick wooden hands suddenly broke out of the ground and rose up.

Then, the palms of these wooden hands began to squirm, and a large number of branches full of vitality and extremely tough grew out of them, quickly forming devil-like shields that were held in the huge wooden hands, blocking the white light that was shining down.

The number of wooden hands is astonishing, and the number of shields is also astonishing.

The two formed a huge umbrella, like giant mushrooms, turning into a shadow of astonishing area, covering all the Konoha ninjas, White Zetsu clones, and the Impure World Reincarnation army, as if protecting them from the wind and rain.

The next second, all the ninjas and White Zetsu's clones heard a sound more shocking than thunder, which continued.

The terrifying repulsive storm, like a strong wind, continuously hit the devil-like shield, trying to smash the shield and the wooden hand to pieces.

Some of the repulsive storms penetrated through the gaps below and successfully blew away a few White Zetsu clones and ninjas, causing serious injuries to them.

At the same time, it also made them come back to their senses and realize what the series of loud noises above were, and what kind of terrifying force the wooden hands and shields were blocking for them.

Although the repulsive storm was powerful, unfortunately, it still failed to smash the devil-like shield, not to mention the wooden hand that was like a pillar of support.

In order to resist this ultimate ninjutsu that could instantly destroy a large ninja village of dozens of kilometers, Yagyu used the Senpo Wood Release for the first time, and it was a combination of Senpo Wood Release.

In the original work, Hashirama Senju did not enter the Sage Mode, but he used the Wood Release: Ranking Technique to easily block the katana attack of Uchiha Madara's complete form of Susanoo, and remained unscathed.

You know, one strike of the Complete Form of Susanoo is enough to cut off several mountains. Even the great swordsman in the world of pirates cannot match its power.

Now Yagyu not only used multiple ranking techniques, but also used ranking techniques that integrated natural energy, not to mention its defensive power.

Not to mention Super Shinra Tensei, unless it is a special ninjutsu with the power of rules like the Truth-Seeking Ball, or a Tailed Beast Ball formed by gathering the chakra of the nine tailed beasts like the Ten-Tails, even if multiple Tailed Beast Balls are thrown at him, Yagyu can completely defend against it.

However, it is already very remarkable that Tendo Pain was able to force Yagyu to use a combination of fairy techniques.

Since the discovery of Wood Release, Yagyu's strength has already ranked among the top ranks of this era.

When he was twelve years old, those who could tie with him and suppress him included the Fourth Raikage who was good at speed, Ōnoki who mastered Dust Release, and Nagato, the super shadow gatekeeper.

But as Yagyu obtained the Gray Stone, his sage body quickly matured, and he activated the sage mode, and also learned a large number of forbidden techniques in the Sealed Book.

Yagyu no longer takes anyone seriously, including the Fourth Raikage, Ōnoki, and Tendo Pain.

The only guy who is a bit troublesome is Uchiha Obito.

But if Yagyu wants to kill Uchiha Obito, there is a way, that is to obtain the Kamui of Kakashi Hatake's left eye. Whether it is temporarily transplanting the Kamui to his own body, or looking through the secrets of the Uchiha clan to find a way to transplant the eye technique, Yagyu can obtain the Kamui, the strongest Mangekyo eye technique, and then like Uchiha Madara in the original work, enter the Kamui space and attack Uchiha Obito's body.

But Yagyu did not do so, because his imaginary enemy now is not people of this era at all, but the Sage of Six Paths whose soul can freely travel between the world of the dead and the world of the living, and Otsutsuki Isshiki who is hiding in some corner of the ninja world, and the alien Otsutsuki clan who may come to the earth at any time.

In order to deal with these guys, and to kill off the other five major ninja villages and reduce the pressure and political confrontation on his succession to the Sixth Hokage, Yagyu personally promoted the arrival of the Fourth Ninja World War, acquiesced and helped the Akatsuki organization to seal the tailed beasts and go on a killing spree.

Yagyu originally wanted to wait until the Akatsuki organization successfully sealed the Seven-Tails and Nagato was dead, and then personally direct the final decisive battle.

Unexpectedly, Nagato gave him such a surprise.

At his peak he was only a super shadow gatekeeper, and now he can barely suppress one or two, or at most two or three Five Kage Nagato, and he has unexpectedly received an epic enhancement.

Tendo Pain does not even need to recover the chakra from other Pains, and can use the Super Shinra Tensei which is more powerful than the Tailed Beast Ball at will.

This made Yagyu rarely feel the desire to fight, as he finally met an opponent who could barely be considered on the same level.

So, Yagyu once again formed seals with both hands:
"Senjutsu...Wood Style: Wood Dragon Technique!"

Roar……

A deafening roar resounded throughout the battlefield. A huge branch suddenly extended from the mushroom-like wooden hands and quickly expanded like an inflated balloon. In the blink of an eye, it formed a huge wooden dragon that soared into the sky in defiance of gravity.

Without any warning, Yagyu's figure appeared above the wooden dragon's head.

If you look closely, you will find an almost invisible word "柳" on the wooden dragon's head, which is the Flying Thunder God technique.

Wanxiang Tianyin——

Seeing Yagyu appear in front of him, Tendo Pain, who failed to kill most of the Konoha ninjas in one move but was not disappointed, immediately raised his hand towards Yagyu and released amazing gravity.

An invisible big hand grabbed Yagyu and pulled him directly away from the wooden dragon's head.

At the same time, five Pains also landed on the mushroom group below.

As soon as they landed, the Animal Path summoned several large birds to serve as mounts for the other Pains.

Then Shurado's body became mechanized, firing a large number of rockets, homing missiles, and even laser cannons.

Releasing so many high-tech weapons at once was something that the Shura Road had never been able to do before.

After all, among the previous Six Paths of Pain, except for Deva Pain whose chakra is amazing, the other Pains are just like foils. When encountering opponents who are weaker than themselves, they can act like an iron wall.

However, if you encounter someone with the same level of strength as you, or slightly stronger than you, and you do not have the advantage in intelligence, it will be easy for them to find their flaws and defeat them one by one.

Jiraiya who collected information and Naruto who obtained the information are the best examples.

But now, the Six Paths of Pain were completely different from those they had encountered before.

Now that he has four and a half chakras to use, Nagato, who can be said to have infinite chakra, can make the chakra of every Pain as vast as the ocean. Not only can he fully exert his strength, but it can even far exceed his peak period.

Among the Six Paths of Pain, the strongest one besides Deva Pain is Shura Path.

Now, even elite jonin like Hatake Kakashi and even the Five Kage would find this combination of skills of Shurado extremely difficult to deal with.

But for Yagyu, it was something not worth mentioning.

He only needs to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to easily dodge it, and even the tracking missile will become ineffective in an instant.

However, Yagyu did not dodge. Instead, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to break free from gravity and return to the wooden dragon's head, then raised his foot and stomped lightly.

The next second, a scene appeared in which the faces of Pain's Six Paths and Nagato changed slightly and their pupils contracted.
