Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

Yes.

An invisible barrier blocked everything, like the unshakeable Wailing Wall that the Saint Seiya faced before the gods, inspiring despair.

"The true power of the Rinnegan lies in its external Path main body, which combines the power of the Six Paths, rather than these messy Six Paths clones."

Night's form floated up from the void and stood tall in the sky.

"Of course, I understand your physical condition."

"asshole!"

Nagato's face darkened in the shadows. The wheelchair beneath him felt like a shackle, severely restricting his physical body.

But it was precisely because he sacrificed his legs that he was able to successfully save Xiao Nan.

Konan > legs, in Nagato's mind, that was for sure.

"Mizuna Tsukiyo... I'll show you the true power of the Rinnegan!"

Nagato murmured, then suddenly clasped his hands together.

At the same time, Pain's hands clasped together, his eyes gleaming with purple light, while the Asura Path beside him aimed at Night in mid-air, unleashing a barrage of missiles and laser cannons, wave after wave, like a vast torrent of firepower, engulfing Night's body.

"Nagato!"

Xiao Nan's eyes were filled with worry: "No, this move will have too much of an impact on your physical condition!"

"Given my current condition, I'll only be listless for about half a month at most, which is nothing to worry about."

Nagato gently comforted Konan, then his voice was extremely firm and unwavering: "The majesty of the gods must not be offended under any circumstances. The gods are invincible, and that is beyond question!"

"so……"

Nagato slightly raised his hand, and a black sphere containing strange power floated out from between his fingers and floated into the air.

"Earth Explosion Sky Star!"

Pain slowly opened his clasped hands, raising them high as if performing a sacred ritual, like a god descending from the sanctuary.

A black sun floated from the earth, emanating endless suction from Pain's raised arms. The wreckage of buildings and rock fragments that had collapsed due to the battle were all sucked into the air by this suction and floated towards the black sun.

Pain's eyes unleashed their power, locking onto Mizukiyo. The black sun floating in mid-air seemed to be activated by half, and the gravity it released immediately increased exponentially!

A terrifying gravitational force erupted, pulling the clouds and snow that shrouded the Land of Iron into the air. The earth below shattered with a deafening roar, and the entire Iron City trembled under this force!

The surface of Iron City began to crumble little by little. Whether it was the land or the rocks, the buildings or the people, they were basically powerless against the four fundamental forces of the universe.

"What power is this!"

"Damn it, I'm going to be sucked in."

"No, no!"

Countless people wailed and struggled to escape, but their struggles were utterly futile in the face of this terrifying suction force. They could only be drawn in and merged with the black sun under the endless gravitational pull.

Of course, this process would not be very painful, because many of them had already been crushed by the flying rocks all around them on their way to the black sun.

Countless buildings and people were absorbed by the Earth-Exploding Star, and naturally, so were the enormous summoned beasts.

However, Nagato obviously wouldn't do anything that would harm himself. The moment Chibaku Tensei was released, all the summoned beasts summoned by the Animal Path disappeared.

"Always take my sister!"

Gamabunta's massive body was pulled and tugged, its powerful leaps causing it to bounce continuously among the rubble: "I have to leave now, be careful."

"Don't worry, Brother Wen, thank you for your hard work."

With permission granted, Gamabunta vanished in a puff of white smoke, while Minato Namikaze kept his eyes fixed on the massive Chibaku Tensei, searching for any survivors among the countless objects that had been sucked away.

"That guy with the Rinnegan... is he really that terrifying...?"

"There's no other way. This spell is too powerful; it's impossible to break. We can only do our best to save the living..."

The Flying Thunder God Kunai shot out, and with the suction of the Planetary Devastation, Minato Namikaze's figure continuously swirled in the sky, saving the residents and samurai of Iron Castle.

The golden flash's actions naturally caught the attention of Nagato and Yoru, but neither of them paid much attention to it.

Pain, with all his might, controlled Chibaku Tensei, locking onto Yoru. Instantly, Yoru's figure floated up, as if being pulled into the sky by an invisible hand.

Gazing at the black sun high in the sky, constantly expanding by devouring all kinds of rocks and soil, Ye remained calm, naturally without any intention of testing just how strong the sealing power of the Earth-Exploding Star was.

However, he still greatly admired Nagato's actions.

Once you've determined that your target is exceptionally strong, unleashing your full power immediately without holding back is undoubtedly the most accurate approach.

He fought Nagato for only a short while before Nagato directly used Chibaku Tensei.

"This kid has a pretty keen sense of combat, but unfortunately, he doesn't have much experience."

Night's figure slowly floated up, and her left hand landed on the Hyōrinmaru at her waist.

Hyōrinmaru was slowly drawn from its sheath, and a suffocating chill emanated from it.

The four realms are frozen, all functions are frozen at this moment, and even the four fundamental forces of the universe are ineffective.

Night stood firmly in mid-air, looking down at Pain, whose expression showed a hint of shock, and spoke calmly.

Although the two were far apart, the sound of night pierced through space and rang clearly in Pain's ears.

"You who call yourself a god, have you ever seen a god?"

"Wha, what?"

A vast spiritual pressure erupted from Yoru's body, and a raging chill shot straight into the sky. The suffocating cold formed a white current that swirled around Yoru's body and spread outwards from there.

The time that had been completely transformed by the exploding star turned snow-white in an instant, a frosty scene.

"This...this is the power of the Fourth Mizukage?!"

On the ground, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was filled with shock. Although the Land of Iron was a country shrouded in snow and wind, what covered the soil of the Land of Iron at the moment the night erupted was not snowflakes, but ice crystals.

Is this the power of the Fourth Mizukage, Yoru Mizuki, who single-handedly ended the war between water and fire and forced Konoha to surrender?!

"Are you coming..."

Minato Namikaze, who was constantly using the Flying Thunder God Technique, turned his head and looked at Yoru Minazuki, who stood in the void between heaven and earth like a god of ice, with a complicated expression.

"You've gotten even stronger in the two years since I last saw you."

"How is this possible? How could he have become so powerful!"

In the shadows, Jue stared incredulously at Ye in mid-air, his mind reeling.

"Hasn't this guy been serving as the Mizukage in Kirigakure for the past two years, without participating in any wars? How could he have made such terrifying progress? This is impossible!" White Zetsu said incredulously, "This power is even comparable to Lord Madara!"

"It's those Grim Reapers and the Seireitei!"

Black Zetsu belatedly realized and growled, "No wonder there have been traces of Shinigami in the ninja world for the past two years. Those guys belonging to the Seireitei are the henchmen who help Mizuki Yoru harvest souls everywhere."

"Although he serves as the Mizukage in Kirigakure, he has the Shinigami collecting souls for him, which is why his strength has skyrocketed."

"Damn it... Obito completely miscalculated."

"Then what should we do?" White Zetsu said in a low voice, "Should we notify Obito first?"

“No, he’s probably about to make his move, we can’t let that affect him, but Nagato absolutely cannot be allowed to have any accidents…” Black Zetsu ordered in a deep voice, “We move closer and are ready to support Nagato’s main body at any time!”

Despite the limitations of the artificial body, Yoru is still able to achieve complete Bankai.

On a moonless night, I brandish my sword towards the abyss, the frost freezing the sky!

"Nagato."

The sound of the night traveled from Pain to Nagato's ears.

He held the Hyōrinmaru in his hand and pointed it at the Chibaku Tensei floating in the sky, which was also covered with a layer of frost.

"Okay."

"That cut will be really cool..."

Chapter 153 Demonic Statue of the Heretic!

The sounds of the night seemed to penetrate the space and ring in Nagato's ears.

The frosty world gradually spread, and even the secluded place where Nagato was located was now covered with a layer of ice crystals.

The sudden drop in temperature caused Konan and Nagato, who were in the hidden place, to shiver involuntarily. Even their chakra seemed unable to withstand this level of cold.

At this moment, Nagato paid no attention to the chill that was gradually seeping into his body. As if he had seen something extremely terrifying, his pale purple Rinnegan widened involuntarily until he was stunned.

"What the hell..."

"Om!!"

A chilling aura spread around them, and Mizuki Yoru's gaze shifted from Pain to the Chibaku Tensei, which was covered in frost in mid-air.

He held a knife in one hand, standing in mid-air.

There was no such thing as energy accumulation or preparation for action.

just.

Raise your hand.

Swing the knife!

An unparalleled crescent moon of frigid air ripped through the sky, sweeping across the heavens at a terrifying speed imperceptible to the naked eye. In its path, not only water vapor and air, but even space itself was instantly frozen and then cleaved apart.

The speed of this strike was so fast that the world only saw a streak of cold white energy sweep across the sky, and the huge Earth Explosion Star, which was suspended in the sky like a star and moon, trembled strangely.

"Click..."

Countless cracks appeared on the surface of the planet Earth-Exploding Star, which was an indirect result of the gravitational core being frozen and shattered.

Countless pebbles, stained with frost and cold, collapsed from the sky, like a downpour of pebbles and hail.

Countless ice stones fell to the ground. Night sheathed his sword and looked down at Pain. His indifferent gaze made the self-proclaimed god Pain below look as pathetic as a clown.

In the distance, Minato Namikaze, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to evade the attacks of the shattered ice stones with the injured, looked at Yoru Minazuki with an increasingly complicated expression.

"With such power, you're still willing to cooperate with us instead of waging war... Minazuki Yoru, I misunderstood you..."

"This level of power..."

Golden sand rose from the ground, blocking the densely packed broken ice stones. The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, and Maki, who were hiding under the golden sand, felt that their worldview had been completely refreshed at this moment, while Fugaku Uchiha's expression was even more complicated.

Two years ago, he had a clash with Minazuki Yoru on the front lines of Kirigakure.

At that time, he activated Susanoo and could barely fight him. Although he was ultimately defeated, the outcome between the two was uncertain if he had gone all out.

but now……

In just two short years, it's impossible for Minazuki Yoru to have grown to this extent. No, in this world, even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't have grown to this extent.

Clearly, Minazuki Yoru two years ago was hiding his true abilities!

To prevent unnecessary accidents and risks, just like how he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan but only dared to use the three-tomoe Sharingan on ordinary days.

After obtaining the position of Mizukage, Mizuki Yoru no longer needed to conceal his power; power and authority were now firmly in his grasp!

Fugaku felt increasingly distressed: "When... will I be able to openly and honestly display my power like this...?"

"Why……"

Pain roared, "How could you possibly possess such power!"

"What adult would actually get serious with a child right from the start?"

Night spoke calmly, causing Pain's originally calm face to become incredibly distorted, filled with anger and embarrassment.

"no no……"

"I am the true god, I am the strongest being in this world, I am the one who will cleanse and save everything!"

Pain roared, though he knew there was a terrifying gap between him and Minazuki Yoru, his inner belief and obsession with the gods made him like a madman, constantly shouting the names of the gods and saviors, as if those self-proclaimed gods could give him the power to defeat Minazuki Yoru.

Night shook his head and vanished from Payne's sight in an instant.

Pain panicked and instinctively unleashed Shinra Tensei.

But how could such a repulsive force possibly repel the Bankai of Yoru?

Even though it is still bound by the artificial body.

Mizuki Yoru's figure had already appeared in front of Pain, and under the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei, Yoru's hand was pressed against Pain's chest.
