chapter 103 part 5
Konan immediately created a large number of paper Shuriken, piercing Danzo's body. A large amount of Blood spurted out, but Danzo's momentum didn't slow. Just as he was about to touch Nagato's eye, Nagato activated Almighty Push once more.
The terrifying impact subjected Danzo's body to immense pressure, sending him flying backward more than ten meters in an instant, his head burying itself into a pile of mud, unmoving.
"Be careful, don't be careless. Based on Jiraiya-sensei's combat situation that time, Danzo seems to possess a Jutsu that can heal injuries," Yahiko warned, a mix of surprise and joy on his face.
The morale of the disorganized rabble soared, and they looked at Nagato with fervent eyes.
"Nagato, you've used that Jutsu twice in a row, can you still hold on?" Konan asked, looking at her partner with concern.
Nagato's breathing calmed. After repeatedly confirming, he said, "On the contrary, I can feel that the Almighty Push Jutsu hasn't placed any burden on me…"
Although its consumption was greater than ordinary Ninjutsu, the results it achieved were far beyond what Five Nature Release Jutsu could compare to.
Raising his hand instantly, unleashing a move in a flash, sending everything in front of him flying indiscriminately, Almighty Push was simply too overpowered. The only thing that concerned Nagato was that he noticed a time interval existed each time he used Almighty Push.
This was the power of the Rinnegan, and also the power of his Comrades. Nagato was filled with more confidence in himself than ever before.
However, it wasn't enough. Stopping Danzo's attack wouldn't solve the problem!
Sure enough, under Nagato's gaze, Danzo's body slowly disappeared, reappearing beside Orochimaru and Tsukasa Kaede.
Only now did the bandages on Danzo's arm fully fall off. On his pale forearm, one of the three Three-Tomoe Sharingan had already closed.
"If this probing continues, I feel Danzo will be beaten to death by Nagato. The power of the Rinnegan is definitely more than just this," Tsukasa Kaede said.
Orochimaru scoffed, "What's wrong, Danzo? You've only been killed once at the very beginning, can you still hold on?"
"Stop with the sarcasm. Probing the Rinnegan's power is a necessary step. It's a shame it almost succeeded; the opponent seems able to use Repulsion. Next, you need to create an opening, and I'll look for an opportunity to snatch Nagato's eyes."
Danzo looked at the two remaining Sharingan on his forearm, unfazed. He still had more Sharingan in reserve, plus the one in his own eye socket; there were plenty of opportunities left.
"Tsukasa-kun, what's your opinion?"
"I don't care. But no matter what you two achieve in the end, I have my own objectives."
Tsukasa Kaede naturally also wanted the Rinnegan, although the Rinnegan was one of the hallmarks of future Kaedex Paths Level powerhouses—but there were exceptions like Kaedex Paths Naruto, Toneri, and Kinshiki.
However, Naruto's situation was special. Toneri had the Tenseigan. Kinshiki was merely Momoshiki's servant and a Sacrifice prepared to be fed to the Ten-Tails. He seemed to be a pure Otsutsuki who hadn't eaten the God Tree fruit and thus hadn't obtained a Rinnegan from the God Tree lineage, possessing only Byakugan power.
But even Kinshiki, at his weakest, was still Kaedex Paths Level. His Byakugan also possessed Dojutsu similar to "Kamui," allowing him to make himself Intangible, traverse space, absorb objects into an Other Dimension and transfer them to designated coordinates, and even create a Katana powerful enough to cleave the God Tree with a single strike, a destructive power fully comparable to, or even stronger than, a Perfect Susanoo.
Isshiki, let alone him, had one Byakugan eye and another unknown eye, making it impossible to confirm whether it belonged to the Otsutsuki Byakugan system or the God Tree Rinnegan system.
This was a level Tsukasa Kaede couldn't yet reach.
Without a Rinnegan and Tenseigan, Tsukasa Kaede would be too embarrassed to call himself a Kaedex Paths Level powerhouse in the future.
"Let's move."
Tsukasa Kaede performed Hand Kaedegns, Summoning a new batch of Zombies, but still didn't deploy the four strongest ones he held in reserve.
Orochimaru also earnestly performed Hand Kaedegns, as if he were trying to control Tsukasa Kaede's Hand Kaedegns.
This infuriated Danzo. He looked at these two seemingly very diligent individuals, unsure what to say. Even if they were pretending, they could at least make it more convincing! However, he had no good way to deal with Orochimaru either, so he simply blended into the Zombie Horde, waiting for an opportunity to act against Nagato.
"He seems very angry. Are you sure you're not going to join?" Tsukasa Kaede asked.
"I'll find an opportunity to act. Isn't it great to let such a blindly confident guy show off his abilities and gather intel for us? You're also very curious about the Rinnegan's power, aren't you? How about we each get one after it's done, and we'll share intel on the Dojutsu of different eyes?" Orochimaru chuckled, subtly moving a little further away from Tsukasa Kaede.
"Whatever you want, if you can get the Rinnegan… Actually, I'm interested in something else."
Tsukasa Kaede calmly watched Danzo's performance. Although Nagato hadn't reached his peak yet, he wasn't someone the current Danzo could challenge. Moreover, Madara was standing behind Nagato.
Sure enough, Tsukasa Kaede saw Nagato act again. This time, it wasn't Almighty Push, nor Universal Pull, but…
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Nagato slammed his hand onto the ground, and a massive Technique Formula instantly spread from his palm. Following that, a colossal being burrowed out, letting out a horrific shriek towards the sky.
"Everyone, step back! Leave this to me!" Nagato shouted, performing Hand Kaedegns with clear exertion.
"Nagato, just how many more surprises are you hiding?"
Yahiko and Konan, who knew Nagato best, were now shocked, looking bewilderedly at the massive creature at their feet.
