From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Sasuke interrupted Obito Uchiha at the last step of his procedure, and the way he interrupted him was extremely simple: he just formed the Tiger Seal.

This simple Tiger Seal not only broke the Uchiha's counterattack but also caused Obito Uchiha internal injuries.

"......"

Obito Uchiha didn't speak, but his face under the mask was extremely distorted. If looks could kill, he would have killed Sasuke more than a hundred times over by now.

However, Obito Uchiha did not act rashly, because Sasuke Uchiha had not yet activated the Sharingan between his eyebrows, and he himself was also suffering from the backlash of the energy reflected by the Uchiha, so he needed to take a break.

And so, an eerie silence fell over the scene.

Suddenly, hundreds of small snakes with bodies wrapped in lightning emerged from the dark ground and attacked Sasuke with lightning speed, leaving a trail of thunderous roars and clanging sounds wherever they went!

Lightning Release: Heaven-Splitting Lightning Serpent!

Ringo Ameyuri's strongest technique was used by the other members of the Akatsuki organization after they saw Obito Uchiha at a disadvantage. Moreover, the one who made the first move was Ringo Ameyuri, whose attack was the most fierce and the fastest!

Although Ringo Ameyuri didn't have Raitogi in her hand at this moment, the power and speed of this move should not be underestimated!

"Good thing you came."

As if he had expected this, Sasuke chuckled and channeled his chakra into his longsword, unleashing a high-speed rotating force that created an invisible electromagnetic field, blocking the hundreds of lightning snakes.

Thunder Blade Technique: Lightning Guide!

With a hissing sound, the hundreds of lightning snakes that were rushing forward seemed to be attracted by something when they passed by the Futsu-no-Mitama Sword, and suddenly converged on the sword body, causing the sword body to flash with lightning continuously.

As Sasuke threw the longsword, he opened his right hand, and the black flame giant sword that was fighting the wood dragon turned into balls of black flame and re-condensed in Sasuke's hand, becoming the shape of the Fire Gagu!

He suddenly turned around and slashed out with his sword!

He slashed at a figure that had appeared behind him at some unknown time—a ghostly figure wielding a chain scythe!

Hanzo the Salamander!

Clang!

The sound of swords clashing rang out, and Hanzo of the Salamander took several steps back, while Sasuke did not retreat an inch.

"A person's end is not death, but the moment he loses his faith."

Sasuke looked at Hanzo the Salamander, whose eyes were devoid of any light, and said calmly.

"Now you are not only dead, but you have also lost your beliefs."

Besides being incredibly strong, Hanzo the Salamander was also a master swordsman.

His swordsmanship is in no way inferior to Sasuke's now, and in fact, he has more experience in using swords than Sasuke.

If Sasuke had encountered such a master swordsman in the past, even if the master swordsman himself was not very strong, he would have exchanged swordsmanship experience with him.

But the salamander Hanzo before us has lost the most important thing for a swordsman: his conviction!

A swordsman who has lost his faith, no matter how superb his swordsmanship, is like a beautiful porcelain doll in Sasuke's eyes—good-looking but useless.

Sasuke had absolutely no interest in challenging Hanzo the Salamander to a duel in this state.

With a flick of his finger, a bolt of lightning shot out from Sasuke's fingertip, and the Thousand Dagger Spear pierced through Hanzo of the Salamander, who was too caught to catch his breath, creating a huge crater in his chest.

Bang!

As Hanzo of the Salamander was pierced through the chest, his mask suddenly exploded, spewing out a large area of ​​purple, foul-smelling poisonous mist that swept towards Sasuke.

Seeing this, Sasuke frowned slightly, and with a turn of his Fire Armor, black flames that could burn anything surged up and incinerated the poisonous mist.

He had no desire to test whether the poisonous fog was as powerful as rumored.

In the blink of an eye, the battle between Sasuke and Hanzo of the Salamander lasted only a second or two. At that moment, the lightning on the Futsu-no-Mitama Sword, which had absorbed the Heaven-Splitting Lightning Serpent and was spinning at high speed, intertwined and combined like vines, suddenly converging into a lightning beast form that combined the head of a lion, the antlers of a deer, the eyes of a tiger, the body of a deer, the scales of a dragon, and the tail of an ox.

Lightning Release: Kirin!

Sasuke waved his right hand, and the Thunder Kirin let out a deafening and ferocious roar, like a meteor streaking across the night sky as it charged toward the direction from which the Heaven-Splitting Thunder Serpent had attacked!

Under the dazzling light of the Kirin, it was discovered that besides Ringo Ameyuri, there were six other figures of varying heights in that direction.

However, just as the seven seemed to have no time to dodge this extremely fast lightning attack, a plump figure appeared in front of them. Facing the Qilin that exuded an astonishing aura, the figure actually opened its arms without dodging or giving way.

Sealing Technique Absorption Seal!

A mysterious spiral vortex appeared in front of him, and then...

With a soft "poof," the menacing lightning unicorn was strangely absorbed by the mysterious shield, disappearing without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

Pain of the Preta Path!

At the same time that the Preta Path appeared, the other five Paths of Pain also appeared in the arena, surrounding Sasuke.

"Finally out!"

Seeing this, Sasuke felt relieved. When he first arrived, he discovered that Obito Uchiha was not alone; there were other spies in the shadows.

However, his unique visual perception was ineffective against the Rinnegan, which is why he was able to spot Hanzo, the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, and even White Zetsu and Black Zetsu.

However, they were unable to sense Pain and the others.

Sasuke knew that since the Black Sect wouldn't make a move, the biggest threat to him wasn't Obito Uchiha, nor were these reanimated beings.

It's Nagato!

After all, whether it's the Deva Path's Planetary Devastation Sealing Technique, the Preta Path's Chakra Devouring Technique, or the Human Path's Soul Extraction Technique, they all pose a great threat to him!

They were hiding in the shadows, and Sasuke had to be very careful to guard against them. Now that they've come out, Sasuke is relieved.

"Uchiha Sasuke."

A cold glint flashed in Pain's eyes. He actually struck first, and with a wave of his hands, purple chains formed from chakra rushed towards Sasuke at an extremely fast speed.

While both are chains made of chakra, this one is not the Uzumaki clan's Adamantine Lockdown.

It is a sealing technique unique to the Rinnegan—God's Lock!

You mustn't touch this!

Sasuke could feel the powerful binding and sealing effects of the purple chains, and even if Sasuke were to stab him in the heart, cut off his head, or even shatter his body to pieces, he would not be afraid at all.

He was only afraid of these seemingly harmless secret techniques that could restrict his movements.

If he is unable to move, his chakra will be devoured by the Hungry Ghost Path, or sealed by the Deva Path, or his soul will be directly extracted by the Human Path.

At that time, even if Yi Zhanran was incredibly overpowered, it wouldn't matter!

With his mind racing, Sasuke entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode again, dodging at a speed far exceeding that of the Golem Lock.

It must be said that the Akatsuki's choice to ambush him in this place was extremely clever.

In this confined space, if Sasuke were to use the complete Susanoo, its height would instantly burst through the area, causing the ground beneath to collapse.

Although the collapse wouldn't cause Sasuke any significant harm, it would take him a hundred times longer and more effort to find the Grell mine at that time.

Other Susanoo forms that enter the tens of meters are extremely inconvenient to move in this narrow space and will only become sitting ducks.

However, the Akatsuki members considered everything except that Sasuke could use Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

In this mode, his strength and defense are no less than those of a lower-level Susanoo form, and his speed and agility are even greater.

"Mr. Ban, are you alright?"

Pain looked at Sasuke Uchiha, who was dodging the purple chains in the distance, and spoke calmly.

As they spoke, the other five Paths of Pain and the Edo Tensei army also moved around, adjusting their positions to make for more suitable attacks.

"It's nothing, I was just careless."

Obito Uchiha shook his head; he had already recovered from the backlash he had just suffered.

Pain nodded without saying much, after seeing that the other Pains and the Edo Tensei army had reached their appropriate positions.

Pain's Rinnegan flashed with a dark light as he slowly raised his hands towards Sasuke, intending to strike first and then have his teammates coordinate a series of attacks to seal or kill Sasuke Uchiha!

Just as Pain was about to unleash his eye technique, and Obito Uchiha was preparing to rejoin the battle.

Sudden.....

The rubble on the ground trembled slightly, and invisible gusts of wind, along with some inexplicable energy within the Grell ruins, transformed into beams of light that flowed upwards and swept away.

Um! ?

Pain frowned. It wasn't just him who was experiencing something strange; even his main body, deep within the underground palace and the Grell mine, had just experienced a strange resonance from the giant Grell Stone next to him!

Amidst his astonishment and uncertainty, Pain instinctively looked up at the cave above. He saw that the once pitch-black cave was now bathed in layers of golden light and was rapidly expanding at an extremely fast pace.

Along with the rapidly expanding golden light, a rumbling sound resounded throughout the entire underground!

The next moment, a loud bang!

A massive golden rainbow, as white as a rainbow piercing the sun, suddenly shot out, crashing down towards the people in the abyss like a meteorite falling from the sky. Its speed increased, its momentum grew more ferocious, and it exuded a strange, noble, and mysterious pressure that made it almost impossible for them to breathe.

And those underground creatures, earthworms, armadillos, and lizards couldn't help but crawl on the ground, trembling!

enemy!?

Pain's eyes narrowed, and in the next moment, the golden rainbow suddenly burst forth with countless golden crackling lightning bolts that suddenly converged into a gigantic golden sword. At the center of the sword tip, golden lightning bolts were spinning rapidly in a layered manner!

Immortal Technique: Heavenly Origin Breakthrough!

Swish!

Faced with the suddenly appearing golden giant sword, the Preta Path of Pain made the first move. He flew into the sky and once again unleashed the sealing technique of the Rinnegan, Absorption Seal, without dodging or yielding.

Although the golden lightning giant sword looked incredibly powerful, the Hungry Ghost Path was not afraid at all. He was absolutely confident that he could absorb this attack!

Bang!

"Um!?"

Pain, who had been calm, suddenly changed his expression. A cracking sound rang out, and the golden lightning sword paused for only a moment after striking the Preta Path before tearing it to shreds in an instant!

It continued to hurtle down towards them with terrifying momentum!

The Preta Path couldn't absorb his chakra!?

Seeing the golden lightning sword hurtling towards him, Pain could no longer sit still. His massive chakra surged forth, distorting the surrounding force field.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Boom!

The overwhelming, invisible repulsive force collided violently with the golden lightning giant sword, instantly creating a massive explosion that caused the surrounding area within hundreds of meters to collapse.
