Kai's expression turned serious. He picked up Kakashi and retreated to a short distance away. Without wasting a second, he shouted and released the restrictions on the acupoints in his body.

Open Gate, Rest Gate, Life Gate, Injury Gate, Block Gate...

He opened the first five gates of the Eight Gates in one go, his body emitting green steam, but Kai knew that was not enough, so he did not stop and continued to attack the sixth and seventh gates.

During this time.

Shisui's eyes sharpened, and he stood in front of Nagato, immediately casting a spell and forming hand seals to create dozens of clones.

Here it comes, the signature move of the Instantaneous Stillness technique.

Whoosh whoosh.

Dozens of Uchiha Shisui activated simultaneously, constantly switching between their true forms and clones, creating a dazzling array of attacks on Nagato, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.

However, to Shisui's surprise, Nagato on the other side dodged with ease, managing to avoid his actual attacks every time.

His ability to teleport was seen through by his opponent.

"Showy but impractical."

Nagato commented for a moment, then suddenly rushed into the encirclement of Shisui's clones, punching one of them, causing it to freeze and let out a muffled groan.

Sage Mode enhances a person's perception, and the Sage Techniques of Ryuchi Cave further endowed Nagato with a serpentine sensitivity in his ability to detect things.

Therefore, he was able to easily find the latter's true form among Shisui's many clones.

boom.

Shisui collapsed in agony, and all his clones vanished into thin air at the same time, leaving none behind.

Nagato walked past Shisui, his Rinnegan eyes fixed on Might Guy ahead.

At this moment, Kai had already opened the sixth gate, the View Gate. Green steam emanated from his body, reaching half a meter high. His eyes glowed green, and his entire body exuded an astonishing aura.

"That's interesting."

Nagato became interested and beckoned to Might Guy with his finger, making a provocative gesture.

next moment.

boom.

Kai stomped his foot on the ground, creating a large crater, and instantly traversed the distance like lightning, throwing a punch at Nagato's face.

Nagato neither dodged nor evaded. This time, he was no longer careless or underestimating his opponent. He also struck with lightning speed, managing to block Might Guy's punch with a single palm strike.

A strong gust of wind emanated from the two of them and swept outwards, forcing the other Konoha ninjas back.

Although Kai opened the Six Gates, Nagato himself possessed the powerful bloodline of the Uzumaki and Senju clans. In addition, the "snake-like" transformation of his body by natural energy gave him a complete Sage Body.

With this immortal body, Nagato's physical skills are enough to rival Guy's.

"Hmph!"

Kai exhaled two puffs of hot air from his nose, then shouted, "Burn, youth!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he struck again, unleashing over a hundred punches at Nagato.

His high-speed punches collided and rubbed against the air, creating shockwaves and bursts of flame that flew outwards like a peacock spreading its tail.

It appeared, the morning peacock.

Kai had previously used this move to defeat Orochimaru, forcing the latter to use the Orochimaru Substitution Technique in order to escape.

Unfortunately, this time, his opponent was Nagato.

Facing Kai's relentless barrage of punches, Nagato remained unmoved, raising his own hands and unleashing over a hundred punches in return.

Bang bang bang!

The exchange of blows triggered a series of deafening explosions in the surrounding air. Furthermore, the ground near them couldn't withstand the impact of the punches, cracking inch by inch.

At this moment, if anyone else were to approach the area where the two were fighting, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.

Who will win?

The answer came quickly.

Nagato withstood the direct attack from Asahi, and then seized an opening in Kai's defense, punching through Kai's defenses and striking him in the chest.

"This punch is in return for that kick you just gave me."

Nagato said coldly, adding the power of Shinra Tensei to the force of his fist.

Kai was sent flying backwards, and he flew much farther than Rasa and Jiraiya, covering hundreds of meters in the air before disappearing at the end of the street.

Nagato withdrew his fist, still feeling unsatisfied, and looked at the remaining Konoha ninja.

He used to be shy and introverted, and disliked fighting with others. But after experiencing many trials and tribulations and developing his powerful potential, he changed without even realizing it.

The current Nagato not only doesn't mind using power, but actually enjoys using it.

He wanted to be that high and mighty god.

In Nagato's view, only when everyone fears the power of the gods and experiences true suffering will they stop fighting and killing and accept peace.

This is his method of achieving peace.

Driven by this thought, Nagato hardened his killing intent and fixed his gaze on Kakashi and Shisui not far away.

Swoosh.

As he raised his hands, a black chakra rod shot out from each of his sleeves, heading straight for the two men.

They moved so fast that no one else had time to come to their rescue.

At this critical moment.

Swish.

A figure flashed across the street like a streak of light, grabbing Kakashi and Shisui with both arms and rescuing them from Nagato's black rods.

Minato Namikaze has arrived.

Oh? Is this the famous Yellow Flash of Konoha?

Nagato sized up Minato, whose name differed from his by only one character. For a long time, Minato's reputation was something Nagato had to look up to.

But now, in Nagato's eyes, Minato Namikaze is not much different from other Konoha ninjas.

Whoosh.

He rushed straight towards Minato, remotely activating the Universal Pull, intending to use the same technique he used against Rasa to instantly kill him.

Minato frowned, and in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

The next instant, he appeared silently above Nagato's head, and a Rasengan descended from the sky, striking the latter hard in the back.

Boom!

Nagato was immediately knocked to the ground and fell into a large crater.

Seeing this, the Konoha ninjas finally felt a sense of pride and couldn't help but cheer and shout their approval.

A rooftop in the distance.

Kisame, disguised as Orochimaru, hid here overlooking the battlefield below, witnessing Nagato's battle against the people of Konoha and Sunagakure with perfect clarity.

Always eager to join in the fun, he was waiting for the right opportunity to enter the fray.

183. Death of Yahiko and Konan

On the streets of Amegakure.

After Nagato appeared, he was virtually invincible. No one could last more than a few rounds against him until the appearance of Minato Namikaze.

As soon as Minato arrived at the battlefield, he gave Nagato a hard time, using his signature Flying Thunder God Technique in combination with the Rasengan to knock the latter to the ground.

However, while everyone else began to cheer, Minato's expression remained very serious.

really.

Opposite him, Nagato, who had been knocked to the ground, stood up as if nothing had happened, supporting himself with his hands.

"As expected of the Yellow Flash, what a beautiful attack technique, but unfortunately it lacks power, like a tickle."

Nagato commented calmly.

His sage-like physique is comparable to that of Hashirama Senju, the god of ninjas of yesteryear. Not only does he possess formidable defensive capabilities, but his regenerative abilities are also astonishing; even if struck by a Rasengan, he can heal himself in an instant.

Upon hearing Nagato's words, Minato's expression changed.

Like scratching an itch.

In that case, there was another person who had told him that person's name was Kisame Hoshigaki.

Is the Nagato before us the second Kisame Hoshigaki?

At this moment, Nagato raised his hands, forming hand seals as he announced to Minato:

"Well then, it's my turn now. I'll use this move to break your Flying Thunder God technique."

As soon as he finished speaking, to Minato's astonishment, Nagato opened his mouth and spat out a lifelike dragon of light from his body.

They headed straight for the water gate.

"Roar!"

The moment this dragon of light appeared, accompanied by a deafening roar, almost instantly deafened all the Konoha ninja, including Minato.

Not only that, the Dragon of Light also produced an incredibly intense flash of light, which blinded everyone who saw it, leaving only pure white before their eyes.

not good.

When Minato realized that his sight and hearing had been taken away, his first thought was to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to hide at a distance and avoid the attack.

However, just as Minato was about to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique, the dragon of light suddenly exploded, causing a violent tremor in the air within a radius of 100 meters.

Minato and the others, who were in this area, felt as if their bones were rubbing against each other under the high-frequency vibration of the air, and they were almost about to fall apart.

Minato's spell was interrupted, and his whole body became numb, losing all sense of touch.

At this point, he was deprived of his sight, hearing, and touch; he could see nothing, hear nothing, feel nothing, and do nothing.
