From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

However, its true form seems to stand still, appearing elusive and ghostly.

Immortal Technique - Teleportation!

Strictly speaking, the Asura Path's attack was not just a normal probe. Under the attack, he had already used the Rinnegan's insight and his brain's calculations to completely cover the most likely escape locations and directions within a ten-meter radius of the Sage's clone.

In the calculations of the Asura Path, the Sage's clones either use defensive ninjutsu to withstand the attack or burst forth at an even faster speed to dart more than ten meters away.

Regardless of which of the immortal clones he chooses, he will face their next attack, which they have laid in advance.

However, the Asura Path, or rather Nagato, underestimated the Sage's clones.

Although I knew this guy came from Ryuchi Cave, I didn't expect him to display such bizarre movements that defied the laws of human biomechanics with his tall stature, barely dodging all the bullet attacks while remaining almost stationary.

The clanging sound of bullets cutting through the air kept ringing in his ears. The immortal clone's figure moved like a ghost, constantly dodging. Some bullets even narrowly missed his nose. He could also smell the pungent gunpowder smoke and the burning smell of steel.

"Using a special summoning technique with the power of the Six Paths, I summoned a weapon that does not belong to this world."

"Then what is this so-called world that doesn't belong to this world?"

"This creation, which clearly combines machinery and chakra, who created it? Was it the Otsutsuki clan?"

The immortal clone moved with a swift, graceful gait, like an elegant traveler strolling in the rain without getting wet at all, and thought to himself with great interest.

"The secret of the Rinnegan, the truth about the Otsutsuki clan, how interesting."

Seeing that he could not defeat him, the Asura Path changed its attack mode again, recombining its hands into two ferocious hand cannons.

At the same time, the earth around the immortal's clone's feet churned and surged, and branches broke through the soil and emerged.

"Trouble is brewing."

The sage clone's eyes flickered slightly. Even now, he couldn't ignore the powerful binding and chakra-absorbing abilities of Wood Release.

With countless bolts of lightning swirling around it, and a dazzling golden light illuminating the surroundings, the Sage clone instantly entered its own Sage Art: Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

But at that moment, the white clouds in the sky suddenly lowered, getting lower and lower, and a powerful pressure came straight down from the sky, completely enveloping the immortal clone.

The immense pressure, which even distorted space, was like a colossal mountain falling straight down from the sky, carrying an immense pressure of millions of tons, and it was still rapidly increasing without end.

This is by no means an exaggeration. In just a moment, the flat ground within a few hundred meters of the immortal's clone began to creak and groan, suddenly sinking dozens of meters, and distant hills continued to collapse.

It was Pain, the Deva Path, who made his move.

Moreover, his first move was the Super Shinra Tensei, capable of instantly destroying a large city!

Even though the Sage's clone had entered the Sage Art version of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, it was still an existence that could not be ignored in the face of such destructive power as Shinra Tensei.

Under the powerful influence of this force, the golden serpent on the lightning armor creaked and its light flickered.

However, fortunately, the power of Super Shinra Tensei still has the problem of being difficult to concentrate, making it more suitable for clearing the field rather than targeting a single enemy.

Otherwise, if a force of a million tons were to be applied to him alone, he would probably be instantly pulverized.

Moreover, the immortal clone did not intend to fight head-on.

Amidst flashes of golden light and lightning, the sage's clone, with eyes and ears everywhere, forcefully broke through the immense pressure from Pain's Deva Path.

Although the Super Shinra Tensei was incredibly powerful, it still couldn't completely seal him off. With the enhancement of the Sage Art: Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his physical strength was even greater than that of the Third Raikage.

But at that moment, an intense sense of crisis surged within him.

A massive, dazzling beam of light pierced through the clouds and tore through the atmosphere from a height of ten thousand meters, falling straight down towards the earth in a flash!

Without any warning or room to dodge, the immortal clone only felt a flash of light before his eyes, and the radiance carrying intense light, heat, and lightning crashed down upon him.

Rumble!

After the dazzling light fell, a tremendous tremor erupted instantly, causing the ground, which had already sunk tens of meters, to sink even further, reaching a depth of over one hundred meters, forming a huge crater.

The deep pit was filled with a large amount of dazzlingly hot plasma.

At this moment, Nagato, who had not appeared until now, slowly descended from the sky. At the same time, nine mechanical spheres, which were very similar to the laser cannons in the brain of the Asura Path but much larger, floated around him.

At this time, Nagato was not possessed by a White Zetsu, but his body was no longer as thin as a rake. Instead, he appeared quite full, and his legs looked as good as before, similar to his state two years ago when he absorbed Grell's life energy.

Even better, because his signature red hair, characteristic of the Whirlpool Clan, was even shinier and more vibrant.

Moreover, it hasn't experienced the alienation and indigestion it did when absorbing Grell's life energy before.

In fact, Nagato has made considerable progress in the past two years.

After the emergence of a formidable enemy like Sasuke Uchiha, Obito Uchiha and Nagato Uchiha, who were only superficially friendly, put aside their various conflicts and began to cooperate sincerely.

First, with the help of White Zetsu, Nagato perfectly fused with the First Hokage's cells. Even Obito Uchiha, who was half-dead, was able to fuse with the First Hokage's cells with Tobi's help.

Nagato, whose bloodline is from a distant relative of Senju and who also possesses the Rinnegan, is naturally eligible.

If we were to say that the entire ninja world is apart from Naruto Uzumaki, the reincarnation of Ashura, and Sasuke, the reincarnation of Indra, then...

If we're talking about who has the lowest risk of fusing with the first generation of cells, then it has to be Nagato.

Having successfully absorbed the life energy of the Grell Stone within his body, his health was restored, and he made significant progress in his cultivation.

"An attack of this magnitude is no match for you."

Nagato looked coldly at the giant crater submerged by plasma that resembled surging waves, and said indifferently.

Nagato's tone was extremely calm, but it was no longer the aloof, godlike calm that he used to have, as if he regarded everything as nothing.

It is a kind of ordinariness that belongs to people.

In fact, two years ago, he was completely defeated by Sasuke Uchiha.

Nagato stopped considering himself a god and returned to the state he had been in after his friend Yahiko's death, single-mindedly seeking revenge against Hanzo.

He wasn't unaware that his defeat was somewhat unjust; he was first severely injured by Sasuke Uchiha's Flying Thunder God Technique, and his strength was no longer intact.

Furthermore, the weakness of the Earth Explosion Star technique was discovered and forcibly broken, causing him to suffer considerable mental damage while he was focused on maintaining the technique.

In the final battle against the giants, although he received help from White Zetsu, judging from the chakra fluctuations on that golden Susanoo that were extremely similar to Yinglong's,

Sasuke Uchiha did not defeat him on his own as he portrayed.

But no matter what, he lost. He wouldn't think about what the outcome would have been if he hadn't been injured or ambushed.

This battle shattered all his pride about God, and he became a human again.

His pursuit of power became more urgent, but he also became more patient.

In the battles after he killed Hanzo, he always overwhelmed his opponents with overwhelming force, presenting a one-sided crushing situation, and basically did not use tactics such as feints or avoiding the enemy's strength.

Now he truly resembles a ninja.

Under Nagato's indifferent words and gaze, the churning plasma began to disappear, and after the plasma disappeared, the giant crater had completely transformed into a huge depression filled with flowing lava.

The terrifying heat transformed it into a massive pool of lava, with countless sparks burning fiercely, obscuring its true form.

Nagato only glanced at it for a few seconds before looking at the empty space to the side, which appeared to be completely empty, with nothing there.

But in his view, it was not so.

"You've become quite cautious, Nagato."

In the void, the figure of the immortal clone slowly appeared, clearly his invisibility immortal technique could not escape the detection of Nagato's Rinnegan.

"After all, your opponent is you, so you can't be too careful."

As Nagato spoke coldly, nine laser spheres surrounded him, and the Six Paths of Pain each formed their own battle formation around him.

"Uchiha Sasuke!"

Just because we didn't know the identity of Yinglong, the so-called descendant of Longdi Cave, two years ago doesn't mean we won't know it two years later.

In fact, in the two years following that great battle, Nagato, Obito, and their group conducted numerous debriefings, summarizing the reasons for their defeat and the power and techniques displayed by Uchiha Sasuke.

And this White Zetsu, which is spread throughout the ninja world, has no trace of its origin, and even Madara Uchiha's will, Black Zetsu, does not know its identity. It is like Yinglong that suddenly appeared!

The most crucial point is that during the battle between Nagato and Sasuke Uchiha, Susanoo suddenly experienced a surge of new energy.

During the debriefing, Obito, Nagato, and Madara Uchiha's Black Zetsu all unanimously concluded that the new chakra came from Yinglong.

It's important to know that Sasuke Uchiha's Susanoo was blasted away by Nagato's wooden puppet with a single punch. The entire process of its retreat was observed by the three of them, especially Nagato's Rinnegan.

And it was a ninjutsu that suddenly appeared inside Susanoo, which was difficult for the three of them to detect.

If there are no surprises, that ninjutsu is the Flying Thunder God Technique!

Combining these two factors, Nagato, who judged others by his own standards, made a bold guess.

The so-called Ryuchi Cave Yinglong, like the Six Paths of Pain to him, is a puppet clone of Uchiha Sasuke!

Upon hearing this, the immortal clone simply smiled faintly, neither denying nor admitting it, and the next moment, he moved.

A golden lightning bolt, surrounded by an indestructible hurricane, transformed into a long rainbow of wind and thunder, stretching across the sky and rushing straight towards Nagato high above.

"It seems I was right."

Such an arrogant attitude naturally provoked Nagato's counterattack. The first to strike was still the Shura Path, which was in the front line, and both of its hand cannons fired rockets.

Following closely behind was the Preta Path, who acted as a meat shield. He spread his arms and used the sealing absorption to form a shield in front of Nagato.

As for the weaker Human Path, Animal Path, and Hell Path, and the Deva Path, who had just released the Super Shinra Tensei and was temporarily recovering, they stood behind Nagato.

Floating around Nagato, nine laser orbs aimed at that spot as his gaze moved.

In an instant, the muzzles of the nine laser spheres were filled with intense light, and a large amount of dazzlingly hot plasma condensed within them, brewing an awe-inspiring and terrifying power.

Laser cannon!

A weapon that uses ultra-intense electric current to generate a high-intensity laser for devastating attacks!

Boom boom boom!

The wind, thunder, and rainbow swirled and twisted in the air, moving at lightning speed. The supersonic rocket that appeared out of nowhere from the Asura Path couldn't even touch its edge.

In the blink of an eye, Feng Lei Chang Hong flung all the supersonic rockets behind him, crashing straight into the shield that the Hungry Ghost Path had opened, and piercing it through in an extremely domineering manner.

"Sage Chakra? It's really hard to absorb..."

Nagato's expression remained calm, as if he had expected it all along, his gaze fixed solely on the long rainbow, a flash of killing intent appearing in his eyes.

The surrounding void suddenly rippled and twisted, and a huge laser beam, dazzlingly bright, containing thick plasma and radiating immense light and heat, shot out.

fast!

Fastest of all!

It's almost as if the moment of launch is the moment of impact!
