I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Click!

A ring of air radiated outwards.

The enormous stone sphere was swiftly split in two by the Xuanjin sword energy.

The same applies to the black sphere, which serves as the core within the stone sphere.

As it split in two, the terrifying gravity immediately dissipated.

Rumble~~~

The enormous, hemispherical corpse fell from the sky, shattering the earth and creating countless cracks.

"hateful!"

The breaking of Chibaku Tensei nearly made Nagato grind his teeth to pieces.

Why is it so.

Shouldn't he, who inherited the Rinnegan, become the second Sage of Six Paths?

Why am I so weak?

"Psychic · Heretic Golem!"

Unwilling to accept defeat, Nagato slammed both palms hard onto the ground.

The massive amount of chakra was being consumed at an alarming rate, even beginning to drain life force, causing Nagato's red hair, which represented the Uzumaki clan's bloodline, to wither rapidly.

boom! ! !

The earth collapsed.

A colossal object, hundreds of meters tall, suddenly appeared.

It has a humanoid appearance, with nine closed eyes on its face and ten pillar-like protrusions on its back. Its color and body resemble dead wood.

"The Demonic Statue of Heretics"

Naraku, who had just landed back on the ground, immediately recognized the enormous creature that had suddenly appeared.

He was panting heavily, his face pale.

Nagato sits atop the head of the Gedo Mazo that was summoned by spirits.

Roar! ! !

As Nagato focused his gaze intently on Naraku in the distance, his remaining Gedo Mazo seemed to come alive, spreading its arms and letting out a deafening roar.

Boom boom boom~~~

The earth shook violently.

The demonic statue of the Outer Path charged forward like a tiger unleashed from its cage, swiftly pouncing on Naraku.

A step under his feet.

Wall-like rock walls rose up from the ground in front of the Outer Path Golem, forming a series of barriers.

He threw out two punches in quick succession.

The rock wall was constantly being blasted apart by the Outer Path Golem; not only was it impossible to intercept it, but it couldn't even be delayed.

Although it lacks the core Ten-Tails chakra, it is clear that the Gedo Mazo, as its torso, still possesses astonishing power.

Of course, the power of the Gedo Mazo came entirely from Nagato's overdraft.

With his current level of Rinnegan development, he is simply not capable of controlling the Gedo Mazo.

The price of forcibly controlling it is not only the consumption of chakra, but also the overdraft of life force.

Zheng!

A hundred-foot-long black gold sword aura reappeared, slashing horizontally at the demonic statue of the heretic who had just shattered the rock wall.

The demonic statue of the Outer Path shuddered and took a step back during the fierce impact.

However, when the power of the Xuanjin Sword dissipated, the spot where the heretical demon statue was struck only showed a shallow crack.

Naraku's eyes narrowed slightly.

The sturdiness of the Outer Path Statue was even greater than he had anticipated.

The Xuanjin Sword Qi at the minor completion stage only caused this little bit of damage.

Having withstood the slash of the Xuanjin sword energy, the Outer Path Demon Statue once again charged towards Naraku, and upon arrival, immediately trampled and struck.

boom! ! !

The descent of the demonic golem's foot was intercepted by the immense force of gravity.

Pupil power pushed to its limit.

During the brief stalemate, the Gedo Mazo was forced back by the superior gravity.

Take one step.

Naraku vanished in a flash.

When he appeared, he was already on top of the Gedo Statue.

The power of the Gedo Mazo is indeed extraordinary.

But it is ultimately just an external thing.

Naraku didn't need to deal with the Gedo Mazo; he only needed to eliminate its controller.

They appeared in a flash.

Naraku appeared in front of Nagato, his right hand reaching out towards Nagato's Rinnegan with lightning speed.

Suddenly.

Naraku's expression changed.

Surprisingly, images from the future began to flood his mind.

Just as he dug out Nagato's Rinnegan, a figure with horns appeared behind him and, before he could react, struck him with a palm, sending him flying and injuring him.

The palm changes when extended.

Instead of removing the Rinnegan, he instead placed a palm print on Nagato's chest.

Bang! !

From Naraku's sudden appearance to his change of tactics, it all happened in an instant.

In addition, Nagato was under tremendous physical and mental strain when controlling the Gedo Mazo.

This left Nagato no time to react, and he was immediately struck by Naraku's palm, coughing up blood and flying backward, directly away from the top of the Gedo Mazo.

Just as Nagato was flying backwards into the distance, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared halfway through his flight, causing Nagato to crash into it.

Chapter 256 Peace Negotiations

The spatial vortex appeared suddenly and disappeared just as quickly.

After accommodating Nagato, the vortex immediately subsided.

Bang bang bang~~

Almost simultaneously, both the Gedo Mazo beneath Naraku's feet and the Six Paths clones battling the wooden figures vanished.

Naraku, having lost his footing, descended from the sky.

Naraku landed smoothly on the ground, his expression unchanged, but a shadowy aura lurked deep within his eyes.

"Otsutsuki Hagoromo"

As it turns out, he was right not to touch Nagato earlier.

The "Precognition" triggered by the dragon's spiritual root just now detected that the horned figure was none other than Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

It's obvious that although Hagoromo Otsutsuki seems to be nowhere to be seen, he has actually been secretly watching the entire ninja world.

Especially special beings like the Rinnegan.

If he had insisted on taking the Rinnegan, even if he could foresee the future, a great battle would have inevitably broken out between him and his opponent.

Naraku lowered his eyelids.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki is indeed very powerful.

If he hadn't foreseen the future, he would definitely have been injured by the opponent in one blow, just like the scene he had foreseen.

With his current strength, plus the abilities of "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" and "Space Jump," it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to even touch him, let alone fight him.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki was able to injure him before he could react.

Such strength clearly surpasses his by more than one level.

of course.

This is without calculating the "future prediction".

Just like how he was able to detect the appearance of Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
