The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

"The main characters in this event are the Four Shadows, so I won't go. Anyway, I already have a prisoner in my hands, which is acceptable to everyone."

Hearing Hinata Sawatatsu's words, Konan was both annoyed and relieved.

Although they were captured by Hyuga Zetsu, it was good news that Hyuga Zetsu was spared from the great battle.

More importantly, Konan realized that Hyuga Sawatatsu and the four great ninja villages were not of one mind.

"The Rinnegan was clearly obtained by Nagato after he awakened it, and it is the power that brought the dawn of peace to the ninja world. Why do you say that Nagato was not the true owner of the Rinnegan?"

Before the battle began, Konan asked the question that had been bothering her.

Do you know the conditions for awakening the Rinnegan?

Konan shook her head in response to Hinata Sawatatsu's question.

"To awaken the Rinnegan and obtain the power of the Sage of Six Paths, one must possess the power of the Six Paths within their body. The Sage of Six Paths divided his power in two, with the Senju clan inheriting the Sage Body and the Uchiha clan inheriting the Sage Eyes. Only by possessing both of these bloodlines and powers simultaneously can one possibly awaken the Rinnegan."

The revelation of such a secret by Hyuga Zechen caused Konan's face to turn slightly pale, while Sasori and Deidara seemed indifferent. On the contrary, Kabuto Yakushi's eyes were shining, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Nagato possessed the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, which is why he was chosen by Madara Uchiha to become the vessel for nurturing the Rinnegan. If Nagato was truly the master of the Rinnegan, how could he possibly need to consume a large amount of chakra and life force every time he used its power?"

Konan remained silent, because everything Hinata Sawatatsu said perfectly matched Nagato's experience.

"There's another point, which is also irrefutable evidence. Just like Kakashi couldn't shut down his Sharingan on his own after it was transplanted and needed to consume chakra every moment, Nagato probably couldn't shut down his Sharingan either, right? Anyone who transplants a bloodline limit dojutsu that doesn't belong to them will encounter a similar situation."

At that moment, the scene in the light screen changed, and ninjas from the four major ninja villages, armed with weapons, rushed towards Amegakure.

The great battle has begun.

Chapter 150 The Power of the Heretic Statue

In Amegakure, Kakashi and Might Guy took the lead, charging into the village with several Anbu members.

"...The progress is going smoothly, and no Akatsuki members or civilians have been found..."

After crossing three streets without finding any valuable targets, Kakashi pressed the radio in his ear and reported back to the main force.

"Has the Akatsuki organization abandoned Amegakure?"

Surrounded by the main group, Tsunade was wearing a bright red Hokage hat, making her stand out in the crowd.

Nagato, what exactly are you preparing?

Jiraiya, running alongside Tsunade, gazed at the tallest building in Amegakure with eyes full of sorrow.

Nagato was supposed to be a pillar of peace in the ninja world, not the source of war.

The same fate befell the vanguard teams of the other three ninja villages.

The entire Rain Village was deserted, with only the occasional figure of a ninja leaping across the rooftops.

From a high altitude, the main forces of the four ninja villages form giant arrowheads, advancing rapidly from different directions and converging in the center of Amegakure.

Soon, the four figures gathered on the rooftop of a house.

"Where have all those bastards from the Akatsuki gone?"

Missing his target, Raikage Ai became somewhat agitated. He swung his golden arm armor across his forearm, smashing a wall on the rooftop to pieces.

"Could the Akatsuki be using a diversionary tactic, organizing a force to attack our ninja village?"

Most of the elites from various ninja villages have gathered here. Although enough forces have been left to guard their respective headquarters, it is sufficient to deal with ordinary small ninja villages. However, they would probably be outmatched if they were to face the vicious Akatsuki members.

"No, if that were the case, why would they have gone to the trouble of arranging a nighttime raid last night? The Akatsuki, like us, wanted to finish the job in one fell swoop."

Compared to the hot-tempered Raikage, Mei Terumi appeared much calmer, analyzing the situation based on a wealth of information.

"My lords, we have discovered the Akatsuki's presence on a hill outside Amegakure. Several key members, including the Rinnegan leader, Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Kakuzu, are among them."

Just then, Raikage's secretary, Mabui, leaped in, bringing the latest intelligence from the reconnaissance team.

"It seems they didn't want the aftermath of the battle to destroy Amegakure, so they chose to have the final battle in an open area?"

A cold smile crept across the face of Tsuchikage Onoki.

Do they really think they can win for sure?

"Let's go. Whether we can wipe out the Akatsuki depends on this battle."

Tsunade took the Hokage hat from her head and jumped off the roof.

Soon, the groups from the four major ninja villages appeared clearly separated at the foot of a hill.

More than a dozen figures stood atop the mountain, their black and red Akatsuki trench coats flapping loudly in the gale.

"Damn it, Lao Zi and Han have actually been turned into corpse puppets by them, they are truly inhuman!"

As Ōnoki hovered in mid-air, he immediately spotted two familiar figures—two Jinchūriki from Iwagakure.

However, at this moment, the opponent's eyes had been replaced by the Rinnegan, and his face and body were covered with black rods of various sizes, causing Onoki to clench his fists immediately.

Even with Iwagakure's vast resources, cultivating a new Jinchūriki would take at least ten years. Even if they managed to reclaim the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, Iwagakure wouldn't be able to utilize the power of the Tailed Beasts anytime soon.

"All Kage of the ninja villages, if you hand over the remaining two Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, you can avoid an unnecessary war. Otherwise, after today, you will all be swept into the dustbin of history along with the Sand Village."

Wearing a mask, Obito Uchiha took a step forward, looking down at the massive allied forces below with an air of absolute confidence.

"You bastards are the ones who should surrender!"

Because of the deaths of the two Jinchūriki, Onoki, who was already seething with anger, slowly grew taller, and a dazzling white light shone from his clasped hands.

"Dust Release: Metaverse Detachment Technique!"

A white, rectangular beam of light shot out from Onoki's palm, enveloping Uchiha Obito.

However, when the beam of light passed through Obito Uchiha's body, it had absolutely no effect.

Tch, another space-time ninjutsu?

The attack failed, and the enraged Onoki immediately recalled the information about Obito Uchiha, which made him lose face.

"Hey!"

Exhaling the pent-up anger, Onoki struggled to maintain the white beam of light in his palm, sweeping it towards the Akatsuki members behind Obito.

Don't underestimate this old man. Do you think you all know space-time ninjutsu?

Faced with the approaching white beam of light, Lao Zi suddenly leaped up and stood in front of everyone.

A white light shield enveloped Roshi, directly absorbing Onoki's Dust Release beam.

Hungry Ghost Path - Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal!

It can even absorb bloodline limit elimination?

Is this the power of the Rinnegan?

Onoki's expression changed, and the pillar of light between his palms suddenly went out.

"It seems you have made your choice."

Dissatisfied with Obito's overbearing behavior, Pain took a step forward, then raised two fingers and formed a hand seal.

"Spirit Spell!"

boom!

Amidst the violent shaking of the ground, a colossal object, taller than a hill, slowly rose from the earth.

It was a monster that retained a human-like appearance but had nine eyes on its head. Its entire body was the color of dead wood, with ten pillar-like objects protruding high from its back. Its raised hands were shackled with a huge pair of chains, and when its massive feet took a step forward, the ground shook violently, making it difficult for people to stand.

Roar!

With a deafening roar, the Gedo Mazo exerted force on all four limbs, breaking the shackles on its wrists and ankles. Shockwaves spread outwards in all directions from the Gedo Mazo.

"what is that?"

Looking at the enormous size of the Gedo Mazo, the ninjas below seemed like ants in comparison, which made one tremble with fear.

"What good is just being big? Don't forget, there are four Kage here. That kind of guy could be knocked down with a single punch from the Raikage!"

Sensing the low morale around them due to the Gedo Mazo, Darui of Kumogakure shouted loudly, managing to stabilize morale by leveraging the name of the Four Kage.

Yes, with the Four Kage around, no one in the entire ninja world can withstand their combined attack!

"Go, Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"

With a low shout from Nagato, the Gedo Mazo's tightly closed eyes opened most of their size, and it roared loudly. An irresistible shockwave suddenly erupted, blowing up rubble and trees wherever it went, sweeping towards the ninjas in the distance.

A single roar unleashed power comparable to a natural disaster.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

Faced with the impact of the sound waves, some of the ninjas who had prepared in advance stepped forward and used ninjutsu together to defend against them.

Walls of water and earth rose from the ground, attempting to withstand the terrifying shockwave.

However, wherever the violent air currents passed, all ninjutsu defenses shattered, and many ninjas were helplessly swept away by the wind like duckweed, unable to resist the impact of the aftershocks.

Chapter 151 Power Beyond Imagination

How could a mere roar generate such immense power?

This is Akatsuki's trump card, the Gedo Mazo that Hyuga Zetsu mentioned?

When the dust settled, many ninjas lay on the ground, and those who managed to stand up were bleeding from head wounds.

With a single roar, hundreds of ninjas fell to the ground. Even the Tailed Beasts, which inspire fear, do not possess such power.

It should be noted that the ninjas dispatched here by the four major ninja villages are at least Chunin level to be qualified to participate.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the enormous body in the mist approached step by step, each step causing a tremendous tremor in the earth.

"Oh no, that monster is coming!"

As the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path drew ever closer, many ninjas turned pale with fright.

Whether it was its enormous size or the unbearable pressure of chakra, the Gedo Mazo brought an unprecedented sense of oppression to the ninjas.
