Suffocation. A repulsive force like a violent storm, as if it wanted to tear apart every cell in a person's body, crush them, knead them into a ball, and then slam them violently. That kind of scalp-numbing oppressive force... Jiraiya felt his hairs stand on end even from a thousand meters away.
At this moment, he finally understood why that brat Kusuo had told him to run far away. Last time, if Pain hadn't hidden his strength when dealing with him, none of what was happening now would have happened.
This ninjutsu... its power was too formidable, too monstrous. So strong that it made one lose any thought of resisting. So monstrous that no one could resist it for even a fraction of a second. A human body beneath it was as insignificant as an ant.
It was fortunate that the distance was great. If he had been at the very center, directly facing this god-like, terrifying power, he feared that with his own strength, he would definitely not have come out well and might have really been buried here.
Of course, to cast such a ninjutsu, how could it not come at a great price? Jiraiya knew this in his heart. The dispute between them at that time must have been because of this.
Kusuo, can you block this move?
For the first time, Jiraiya, who had been incomparably confident in Kusuo's swordsmanship, felt a sense of uncertainty in his heart. This was very uncertain. He even had a horrified thought in his mind. Perhaps... this was the feeling the various great clans had had when facing the First Hokage Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha a hundred years ago.
Crushing. Violent. Unbeatable.
...
"Under this move, no one can block it. Death is certain."
In a distant high tower, Nagato's weak body coughed up a blood clot. His eyes, with their mysterious and enchanting purple ripple pattern, were filled with satisfaction.
The Deva Path Pain, made from Yahiko's body, was directly below. A heavenly pit of a hundred meters had appeared there. Looking down from above, it was bottomless, filled with a dark and profound gloom.
Kusuo was less than a hundred meters away from him. So close. He must be dead without a complete corpse.
Hoo~
The dust settled, and the smoke cleared. When the scene gradually began to calm down, a strange sound could be vaguely heard in the aftershock of the great earthquake. The sound was small, but无比 (wúbǐ) - incomparably - obvious.
The Deva Path's body could no longer gather any chakra. But at this moment, an absurd and unbelievable thought uncontrollably rose in his heart.
VMM!
This is... the sound of a sword humming.
Suddenly, there was a brilliant elliptical light screen, like a heavenly pillar, emitting an ultimate light. Thousands upon thousands of sword auras, almost in the instant the repulsive force erupted, had resisted with an even more terrifying power. That was the super-high-frequency slash from Kusuo, who had literally used his sword aura to transform it into the toughest defense in the world, blocking the Super Almighty Push cast by the combined power of the six Pains.
The sword aura and the repulsive force entangled and bombarded each other. In that instant, with devastating force, no repulsive impact could break through the barrier of the sword aura to reach the inside of the elliptical light screen.
Kusuo's expression was as calm as water, his arms moving at high speed. On his forehead, the mysterious black mark had already opened, quickly turning a scorching red, noble and chilling. A monstrous aura erupted from his body. It was power comparable to all Eight Gates opened.
POW!
Kusuo took a step forward, actually stepping directly on the air, and蹬 (dēng) -蹬 (dēng) - pushed off into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed before the Deva Path. The rolling airwave left a trail behind his original position, kicking up waves of sound that, accompanied by the white smoke, filled the sky.
This battle... just the fluctuations alone were about to shatter half the ninja village.
"Heavens! What is that? Why has a second sun appeared in the sky?" The villagers of the Hidden Rain, from the first moment the earthquake sounded, had been paying attention to the direction of the high tower where their god lived. Suddenly, they discovered that all the metal buildings there had begun to collapse one after another, cracking and bursting into countless fragments that shot towards the earth and the sky.
Most fatally, in the sky, behind a blurry figure, a ball of light like a great blazing sun had been produced out of thin air. The ball of light hummed, like a thousand birds chirping in unison, a seven-colored rainbow shooting out. Such a beautiful and shocking scene, yet it made one's heart palpitate. That was the ultimate sharp coldness, a sword intent dangerous to its peak.
The smile on the Deva Path Yahiko's face, which had been gradually becoming unrestrained, slowly froze. From confident satisfaction to now being stunned on the spot, he was instantly愕然 (èrán) - astonished. Then came rage and hysteria.
"Impossible! How can someone withstand my move and come out completely unharmed?"
Kusuo's fiery red clothes... were not even stained with a single speck of dust, as bright red as new.
The Deva Path's voice, by the end, was already trembling slightly. Behind him was Nagato, who was continuously supplying the Rinnegan's chakra. Nagato, connected to the Gedo Mazo, his body was already twisted and狰狞 (zhēngníng) - ferocious, his heart filled with a raging sea of shock. He had a look of disbelief on his face. He desperately increased the chakra supply. This one Super Almighty Push had already greatly affected his body, consuming his life force. But he never thought that it wouldn't even damage the corner of his enemy's clothes.
"Nagato! What on earth happened? If you keep this up, you'll die!" Konan's paper clone, who had stayed by Nagato's side to prevent him from acting recklessly, was not clear on the situation on the battlefield. All she could see was Nagato suddenly going from being full of confidence to this state of disbelief and hysteria.
Unfortunately, Nagato, who had entered a semi-crazed state, couldn't listen to anyone's words at all, still continuously injecting chakra. A blue chakra halo, like a pillar supporting the heavens, was transmitted from the high tower where the Gedo Mazo was placed to the center of the battlefield, directly shooting into the Deva Path's body, emitting a terrifying aura. The air faintly transmitted a tide-like fierce wind, one wave after another, slapping against Kusuo's and the Deva Path's bodies.
"So that's where it is." This chakra also let Kusuo know Nagato's true location. On a high tower not far from here.
"This is good too. It saves me the time of looking for you everywhere." With a light smile on his lips, Kusuo once again raised the sword in his hand. With his current physical condition, with his Mark open, any movement in his eyes was as if slowed down by more than ten times. Therefore, his heart was as calm as ever.
The next second, a terrifying aura erupted from Yahiko's body. Having received a large amount of Nagato's chakra again, his whole person could no longer be described as having a monstrous aura. Kusuo, standing in front of him, even felt it difficult to breathe. Of course, this was only because he now needed a huge amount of energy, and the Deva Path had caused a commotion that had blown away a large amount of the air.
"This is where things get interesting." Kusuo smiled faintly. The immense grip from his wrist made the blade of his sword begin to tremble nonstop.
Like a moon of brilliant white. A person pursuing the ultimate power and realm of the way of the sword. The Moon Breathing method, born from Sun Breathing. Desolate, lonely.
"Almighty... Push!"
Word by word, the Deva Path in the air spat out these few words again.
VMM!
A world-shaking, immense repulsive force, from a distance of less than five meters, brazenly rushed towards Kusuo's body.
At the same time, Kusuo swung his sword.
"Moon Breathing, Sixteenth Form! Moonbow—Lonely Moon!"
Countless giant crescent-shaped blade winds were instantly swung out, accompanied by countless giant full-moon blades, emitting a shimmering moonlight. The silver-white sword aura slash blotted out the sky, dyeing this piece of heaven. The villagers of the Hidden Rain were once again astonished to find that the sky, which had been a second great sun just now, had dimmed again.
And now... there was an extra crescent moon. A crescent moon... a full hundred meters in size.
RUMBLE!
Moonbow—Lonely Moon, under the watchful eyes of all, collided head-on with the Super Almighty Push.
