Seeing Mirai Uchiha's arrogant demeanor, Pain's Deva Path immediately clenched his fists tightly.
This guy had maintained the same attitude from start to finish.
He had never truly respected him at all!
Thinking about it, Deva Path Pain defiantly declared, "After this fight, I will still spare your life."
While the two were conversing in midair, the Rain shinobi on the ground finally recognized their identities.
"Mirai Uchiha... that white-haired man is Mirai Uchiha! He's targeting our Rain Village now!"
Damn it! Why are the ninja of these great nations always like this? We just want to live peacefully in our village.
Is that really our leader confronting Mirai Uchiha? It's the first time I've ever seen him in person...
I feel a bit worried. Can our leader really defeat him? This is Mirai Uchiha we're talking about!
Don't worry. Our leader defeated Hanzo and brought a new life for us Rain Country shinobi. Even someone like Mirai Uchiha absolutely won't defeat our leader!
Unlike in the original story, Nagato in this timeline did not have Konan assisting him, so he had to personally appear before the Rain shinobi.
As a result, most of Amegakure's ninja could recognize Deva Path's appearance.
Even when facing an enemy like Mirai Uchiha, they firmly believed their omnipotent, godlike leader could defeat him!
Hearing the murmurs from the Rain shinobi below, Mirai Uchiha couldn't help but slightly raise his eyebrows, "I hadn't expected it—Nagato was actually held in high regard among the Rain shinobi."
Originally, he thought that without Konan, Nagato must have subdued the Rain ninja purely through brute force.
But apparently, the opposite was true—he was quite beloved by them.
Deva Path had no intention of wasting more words on Mirai Uchiha. His form flickered as he lunged straight at Mirai Uchiha.
Seeing Deva Path's movement, Mirai Uchiha immediately countered with a whip kick.
Bang!
Pain's body flew like a cannonball and slammed heavily into the ground.
Witnessing the sight, every Rain shinobi stood frozen in disbelief, mouths hanging open like fish.
They had never imagined their godlike leader would actually be kicked flying by someone!
Damn it!
Emerging from the rubble, Deva Path looked toward Mirai Uchiha with growing apprehension in his eyes.
The opponent's speed was simply too fast—even his Rinnegan could barely track the movements, let alone react effectively in this physical body.
So this is the power that united the Five Great Ninja Villages. Truly formidable...
In that case, close-quarters combat must be avoided.
Deva Path extended his arm toward Mirai Uchiha, who was still suspended in midair. "Universal Pull!"
A powerful gravitational force slammed into Mirai Uchiha, instantly yanking his body uncontrollably toward Deva Path.
As Mirai Uchiha drew closer, Deva Path slammed his palms forward. "Shinra Tensei!"
The moment the words left his mouth, a violent repulsive force crashed down onto Mirai Uchiha.
A faint, cold smirk curled at the corner of Deva Path's lips.
Under the simultaneous effects of attraction and repulsion, even steel would be crushed into dust.
No human body could withstand it.
Yet facing this combined technique from Deva Path, Mirai Uchiha slightly lifted the corners of his mouth. Terrifying ocular power and chakra immediately surged from within his body.
Amid the mighty surge of energy, Mirai Uchiha's hair and cloak violently lifted upward.
[Susanoo!]
Deep crimson chakra instantly engulfed Mirai Uchiha's body, surging outward to form a Perfect Susanoo towering a thousand meters high.
The compressed range of Shinra Tensei and Universal Pull was forcibly shattered by Susanoo's massive form.
Boom!
With a single step forward, the earth began to violently tremble. Rain shinobi tumbled over each other, sprawling onto the ground.
Seeing the Perfect Susanoo descend like a demon god from heaven, the faces of the Rain shinobi all turned to despair...
"Gulp... This size is way too unfair. Even if I lift my head up, I can barely see its lower body?"
"Is this the power that will unify the ninja world under Mirai Uchiha?"
"I've seen Tailed Beasts before—they were already massive—but next to this Susanoo, they're like housecats..."
"Run now, or we'll die just from being caught in the collateral damage!"
Faced with the Perfect Susanoo, the Rain shinobi didn't hesitate for a second before fleeing far away.
Every extra second of hesitation was an act of disrespect to the Susanoo before them!
[Shinra Tensei!]
[Universal Pull!]
Pain's Deva Path crazily activated the Rinnegan's powers, attempting to topple this massive Susanoo before him.
Yet no matter how hard he tried, the Susanoo seemed completely unaffected.
At that moment, Susanoo lifted its foot and heavily stepped downward toward Pain's Deva Path.
The violent gusts of wind stirred by this movement flattened many surrounding houses.
Witnessing this scene, Pain's Deva Path was seized by terror.
This body belonged to Yahiko—it absolutely couldn't be damaged!
Gritting his teeth tightly, Pain's Deva Path wildly surged terrifying chakra. [Ultra Shinra Tensei!]
Pain's Deva Path exerted all its strength, and for a moment, Susanoo's body swayed. The raised foot instinctively took a step back.
Boom!
The ground violently shook once again, and Deva Path stared in shock.
Just stepping forward caused the earth to quake like it was cracking open...
If this Perfect Susanoo unleashed its full power, what kind of terror would ensue?
Realizing this, Deva Path wasted no time hesitating. He immediately activated "Shinra Tensei," using the repulsive force to propel himself rapidly away into the distance.
Seeing this, Mirai Uchiha made no move to pursue. Instead, he shouted from afar, "Nagato, this puppet of Yahiko's is too weak. You should come fight me with your real body."
"Otherwise, next time I won't be able to hold back."
Upon hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Nagato's face darkened.
It seemed his opponent had discovered his location long ago...
However, defeating this Perfect Susanoo would be impossible using Yahiko's puppet alone. He had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.
A group of Rain Village shinobi looked on with confused uncertainty.
Was their village leader someone else all along?
While the Rain ninja were lost in wild speculation, a young man wearing an Akatsuki Organization robe stepped forward.
He appeared healthy with rosy cheeks and a strong build, though his skin was unnaturally pale.
Facing the looming Susanoo, the young man showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, a faint smile surfaced on his face as he declared, "Mirai Uchiha, from now on I'll be getting serious."
