Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 380 If the Divine Realm's Tensei is useless, then we must use Planetary Devastation!

Just a few minutes ago, Bane was eating hot pot and singing with Orochimaru.

To celebrate his successful spiritual transformation, Bane plans to soon visit the Pure Land to let his good brother, the Death God, know that his good days are coming to an end.

As it turned out, before even meeting the Grim Reaper, they encountered Nagato, this pretentious charlatan, babbling on and on like a god.

With one hand gently gripping Pain's neck, and due to the height difference, Bane lifted him directly into the air.

In his other hand, he was still clutching the jade-carved pipe he hadn't had time to put down. He was wearing a loose, dark blue haori and a straw hat that he had specially put on before responding to the psychic spell, just to show off here.

In short, he looked very handsome and cool from the moment he appeared, and he also exuded a domineering and arrogant aura, which perfectly matched Bane's image requirements for himself.

But the next second, he lost his composure, raised an eyebrow, and turned back to Jiraiya with great anticipation, asking, "How was it, Jiraiya? Wasn't my entrance cool? I look like a real boss!"

"He who eats another's food is bound to be grateful; he who takes another's money is bound to be obliging." At this moment, Jiraiya was counting on the Spirit Lord to save his life, so of course he had to say nice things.

He forced a thumbs-up and said, "Very handsome."

At this moment, Jiraiya felt more and more that compared to Yahiko, who placed himself on a high and mighty position, the Spirit Lord, who was stronger, more approachable, and had no burden of image, seemed to be the true god.

"Hahahaha." Bane laughed loudly upon hearing this, then said, "But you look rather pathetic, and you two little toads are no good either. Aren't there any patriarchs like me in Mount Myōboku?"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya looked at Fukasaku with great anticipation. If Fukasaku were to say that Mount Myōboku also had a sage or god, Jiraiya would gain a great deal. He would be able to walk confidently through the ninja world and fear no one!

Unfortunately, the immortal Fukasaku said with a very respectful and humble expression, "There is probably only one person in the world like you, Spirit Lord."

"Is that so?" Bane was just about to say something when Nagato, who was far away in the secret room, recovered from the overwhelming pressure that had swept across the entire area.

Pain, who was being held in Bane's hand, suddenly "came to life" and roared, "Who are you!?"

Then, like a child who had lost face, Pain clearly lost control of his emotions, unleashing an extremely strong repulsive force to try and throw Bane away.

"Shinra Tensei!!!"

Because it was lifted into the air, the terrifying repulsive force of the Shinra Tensei could erupt in all directions, without any blind spots, and from every 360 degrees.

Enraged, Pain attacked without any restraint, treating this place as his stronghold. The iconic building of Amegakure was instantly destroyed. Gamabunta and several other giant summoned beasts were crushed by the repulsive force. Just as they were about to be thrown away, the summoning technique was broken, and the giant toads disappeared.

Not only those few, but also the summoned beasts of the Animal Path were affected. At the same time, Konan was also affected. She hadn't recovered from the overwhelming power of Bane's sweeping attack, and then she was sent flying by Pain's terrifying Shinra Tensei while kneeling on the ground.

The building exploded like fireworks, and then, centered on the building, half of Amegakure was crushed and flattened by Shinra Tensei, leaving a large, arc-shaped crater in the ground. Even the endless, drizzling rain in the sky paused for a moment.

However, none of this is perfect. Whether it's the building that explodes like fireworks or the village of Amegakure that should be flattened like a sphere, it lacks the power to sweep across from one direction.

That was where Bane was.

Bane remained standing in the same spot. Apart from behind him, this was the only place in the entire building that was still "standing." Clearly, Bane had withstood all the force that erupted from this direction without affecting his feet or the area behind him in the slightest.

Therefore, Jiraiya, who was slumped behind Bane with his shoulders pinned to the wall, was so shocked by this scene that he couldn't come to his senses.

He was astonished by Yahiko's power; with just one strike, he had completely destroyed half of Amegakure. If the power of that "Shinra Tensei" had been unleashed on him, Jiraiya would have had no chance of resisting and would have been killed instantly!

"Is this the power of the Rinnegan? No wonder Yahiko dared to call himself a god. This is almost impossible for a ninja to achieve," Jiraiya thought in shock as he looked at the barren Amegakure.

He had never witnessed the battle between the two god-like figures, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, so the power that Pain Tendo was displaying was already the limit of the ninjas he had ever experienced and seen.

As for the Spirit Lord? The Spirit Lord was never a ninja.

No wonder Hanzo the Salamander, who was known as a demigod of the ninja world, died at their hands. This power was indeed enough to crush Hanzo.

After marveling at Yahiko's strength, Jiraiya then turned his gaze to Bane. He then saw wisps of smoke being gently exhaled from the corners of Bane's mouth.

Faced with such immense power, the Spirit Lord remained completely unmoved, as if a gentle breeze were brushing past him, elegant and composed. Even the wind chimes hanging from the bamboo hat on his head merely swayed slightly, producing a crisp, cool, and pleasant sound.

As if catching a glimpse of Jiraiya's shocked expression out of the corner of his eye, Bane's lips curled slightly, and he said softly, "Why are you making that incredulous face? It's just a little bit of hardship."

Realizing that his Shinra Tensei was completely useless, and with his fate still in someone's grasp, Pain's expression turned ferocious. His molars were almost ground to powder as he roared angrily, "Impossible! Impossible! My Shinra Tensei!"

Shinra Tensei was pretty good. Bane experienced it up close and found it very powerful, but for him, the power was just so-so. His assessment was that it wasn't as good as Garp's Galaxy Impact.

While Galaxy Impact's punch was explosive, it did have a 'core' point. In comparison, Shinra Tensei was too 'loose'. And it was precisely because of this looseness that it lacked that sense of pressure when dealing with truly strong opponents.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't do it." Only then did Bane turn his attention to Pain, whom he was holding in his hand.

With just a glance, he was certain that this was indeed a corpse, without a soul. Nagato controlled the Six Paths of Pain by transmitting chakra through the black rods of various sizes that covered their bodies.

"Boring." Bane frowned slightly, somewhat annoyed, then exerted force in his hand and shouted, "Fall from the seabed!!!"

With Conqueror's Haki coiling around his hand, countless tangled and spreading black lightning bolts instantly appeared in the air, as if space itself was shattering. Then, Pain was instantly hurled away by Bane.

From this tall building, it crashed down hard into the very center of the crater plowed out in Amegakure when Shinra Tensei had just erupted.

Like a meteorite crashing down, Pain slammed into the crater, instantly shattering the ground. The surging power created a shockwave tens of meters wide, carrying smoke and dust that spread outwards. At that moment, a deep abyss, more than ten meters in diameter, appeared in the crater where Pain had fallen, its depth completely unpredictable.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Jiraiya was so close that he observed everything very carefully and clearly. In that attack, the Spirit Lord did nothing but unleash the power of his body to smash Yahiko into the abyss below the ground, a drop of unknown depth.

Furthermore, it seemed that the force also unleashed black lightning that he could not comprehend at all, while simultaneously shattering space itself.

In fact, this was the visual effect that Bane wanted. Whether or not it was imbued with Haki made little difference to Pain; he would still be pulverized anyway.

Yahiko had only ordinary physical abilities, and now that he was dead, there was no need to mention anything else. He didn't have any domineering aura, nor did he possess any ninjutsu or taijutsu with extremely strong defensive capabilities. The moment he fell into the abyss, he was constantly rubbing against the soil and rocks below until the force that Bane had exerted on him was exhausted or had nowhere to vent.

The so-called "nowhere to vent" means having no outlet. This is exactly the situation for Pain at this moment. His flesh and blood are rotten, and his body is like a pulp, turning into paint. He has left a long, narrow trail on the earthen and stone walls of the deep pit. It's all dregs. Even if the Hell Path wanted to revive him, it would have to eat all of this pulp first.

"Yahiko!!!" Amidst the ruins, Konan staggered into the deep pit, looked down, and cried out in grief.

Although Yahiko had long since died, Pain had been there all these years, but today, Pain had turned into a long line drawn from a mass of flesh.

In a secret underground chamber on the very edge of Amegakure, Nagato was suddenly jolted awake from Yahiko's sight. Beside him, Obito Uchiha said in a deep voice, "When you used the Deva Path as the core to unleash Shinra Tensei, didn't you even consider your own body? If I hadn't transferred you, you would have been killed by yourself by now."

However, Nagato completely ignored it, or rather, he didn't hear Obito Uchiha's voice at all.

He was momentarily stunned, then a crazed glint flashed in his Rinnegan eyes, and his emaciated body, unable to stand, trembled uncontrollably as massive bursts of chakra erupted from his body.

"Yahiko!!!" Nagato roared furiously, then slammed his hands together in front of him and shouted, "Planetary Devastation!!!"

Like Konan, he was also unable to accept the fact that Yahiko's body had been completely destroyed, so he lost control of his emotions.

A massive amount of chakra rapidly gathered into a small black sphere above Amegakure. Then, an inexplicable attraction emanated from that sphere. At first, it was relatively gentle, but soon, the power became tyrannical, as if it wanted to absorb and collapse everything within its reach into its own location.

Meanwhile, still standing atop the ruins of that building, Bane crossed one arm in front of him, holding a pipe in his hand. Feeling the increasingly powerful attraction around him, he said with a hint of interest in his eyes, "So that's it, so that's what it feels like to be drawn by my dark power? The legendary technique of creating planets, Chibaku Tensei."

Of course, it's unlikely for someone of Nagato's level, but for someone with Six Paths level power to perform this technique would be quite impressive.

Back then, Kaguya Otsutsuki was abused by her two sons. With the power of the Six Paths, she used the Planetary Devastation Technique to seal her directly into the sky, forming the so-called "Moon".
