Chapter 249: Earth Explosion Star VS Limitless (3K+ First Update)
Nagato?
This name instantly caught Orochimaru and Sasori's attention. Their expressions subtly shifted, and the momentary change on the face of the always-icy Angel did not escape them.
They realized for the first time that Pain, this guy, perhaps had never truly revealed himself.
Those several strange clones, the same eyes—Pain's mystery and power had always intimidated these villains who joined the Akatsuki organization. Even Orochimaru, awed by Pain's formidable strength, dared not covet the Reincarnation Eye.
But it seemed the situation had changed. This mysterious and powerful Tao Bai Bai knew Pain's true identity!
Konan's face darkened. She also stepped forward, her hands dropping from her sleeves, and paper shurikens began to scatter. Tao Bai Bai's existence challenged her nerves almost every moment.
She disliked such a madman. Even if she and Nagato were probably insane now, she still couldn't tolerate someone who purely yearned for chaos and slaughter joining them.
In her eyes, even someone like Orochimaru pursued ninjutsu and technology, but this Tao Bai Bai's eyes were filled with a craving for chaos.
Tendō Pain reached out his hand, and Konan's steps halted. She ultimately retreated. This was Nagato's battle. Tao Bai Bai's words had clearly enraged Nagato.
"Capacity?!"
For the first time, Tendō Pain's voice showed a fluctuation in tone, gradually rising as if he had heard something absurd.
"How can a guy like you see our capacity?"
"Is it with power like this?!"
The next moment, Tendō Pain raised a hand, and a powerful gravitational pull appeared.
Cosmic Pull!
Bai Cangshu's eyes were fully open, the outline of his pupils clearly visible. His heart beat faster and faster, and the purple Killing Intent Ripple within him gradually became uncontrollable.
He loved combat, he loved slaughter. What he cherished was fighting against these powerful individuals.
Bai Cangshu lightly tapped his foot, actively leaving the dry branch. His body was uncontrollably captured by the powerful gravitational pull, then rapidly flew towards Tendō Pain.
A pitch-black rod extended from Tendō Pain's palm, aiming directly at Bai Cangshu's chest.
Bai Cangshu's smile grew more fervent. He lunged forward with the pull, his pupils also reflecting that pitch-black rod.
Pain's Reincarnation Eye fully captured Bai Cangshu's movements. If the opponent made any dodging motion, he would instantly strike the dodging opponent.
In front of his Reincarnation Eye, ordinary taijutsu was meaningless.
But Bai Cangshu also watched Pain without blinking, making no moves. The distance between them vanished in an instant.
Pain's right hand seemed to disappear as the black rod suddenly plunged towards Bai Cangshu's chest.
Bai Cangshu's form instantly changed. With First Strike and Transparent World activated, he could also ignore ordinary taijutsu. He reached out his right hand in mid-air and directly grasped the other end of the black rod, then unleashed immense force, thrusting the black rod backward into Tendō Pain's armpit.
Pain's Reincarnation Eye captured everything. The next moment, a terrifying repulsive force erupted again.
Almighty Push!
Boom!
Two opposing forces simultaneously struck Bai Cangshu. The terrifying pressure almost made Bai Cangshu's internal organs tremble. An ordinary human or ninja would be severely injured by this single blow.
But for Bai Cangshu, even shattered internal organs were not considered effective injuries.
He was repelled by Almighty Push, stomping his feet repeatedly in mid-air.
Moonwalk!
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Several Pains simultaneously caught sight of Tao Bai Bai in the sky. The opponent still showed no signs of using Chakra, so they couldn't absorb him with the Reincarnation Eye's abilities.
Someone could walk on air with pure taijutsu?
Konan was also astonished by this terrifying technique at this moment.
Bai Cangshu jumped faster and faster in the air, quickly exceeding the Wind Demon's requirements, and once again disappeared into the wind.
Orochimaru watched this scene, instinctively retreating to a greater distance. He had realized that this Tao Bai Bai, if not possessing some special Bloodline Limit, was likely a special individual similar to a "Sage."
His strength was extraordinary. Without visual jutsu like the Reincarnation Eye or Sharingan, it would be very difficult for ordinary ninjas to contend with him in close combat.
Tendō Pain's expression remained calm. The Animal Path Pain's body, its head shattered, had already been revived by the Naraka Path Pain using Summoning: King of Hell.
The Pain Six Paths, from different angles, completely intersected their vision, monitoring all directions without blind spots.
Buzz!
A fierce wind appeared. Bai Cangshu emerged from the wind. The Asura Path Pain's head instantly transformed, and a terrifying laser immediately shot towards Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu's figure once again turned into wind and disappeared. The laser plunged into a swamp hundreds of meters away, causing a huge explosion.
Another gust of wind appeared. Tendō Pain immediately reacted. He aimed his right hand at the Naraka Path Pain.
Cosmic Pull activated, and the Naraka Path Pain's body instantly left its original position, flying towards the Tendō. Bai Cangshu's sudden punch landed in empty space, also emitting a terrifying roar, and a scorching white smoke cloud grazed the Naraka Path Pain's body, missing.
Bai Cangshu seemed to be everywhere, but Pain's perception was equally sharp, using their abilities to mutually restrain each other.
After several rounds, neither had caused actual damage to the other.
Bai Cangshu suddenly appeared from the wind. He spun violently, flying into the air. The humid air was immediately stirred, creating a small tornado.
Pain, unable to see the Chakra's trajectory, also couldn't determine what Bai Cangshu was doing, but he had a premonition that the opponent was about to make a move... The next moment, Bai Cangshu's legs descended from the air like a torrential storm.
Countless leg shadows, accompanied by terrifying force and whistling gales, began to indiscriminately bombard the Pain Six Paths on the ground.
Bang, bang, bang, bang... Zetsu looked at this scene in the air with some astonishment. He had never imagined that humans could do such things without relying on the Chakra power bestowed by the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
His expression couldn't help but change slightly.
Wind God Kick: Stormy Gale!
Bai Cangshu's figure was ethereal, his leg strength falling like rain. The Pain Six Paths Reincarnators almost saw myriad leg shadows descending simultaneously.
The Asura Path Pain's body was hard. He covered his front with his hands, preparing to take the blow head-on, but as countless leg shadows struck, one of them suddenly turned pitch black.
Pfft!
The Asura Path shattered instantly, the missiles in its arms directly exploding, sending body fragments flying.
At the same time, Tendō Pain noticed this, knowing that Tao Bai Bai's attack contained immense danger.
He suddenly retreated continuously. The newly revived Animal Path Pain summoned dozens of giant centipedes, which flew up to block above.
Although they were instantly annihilated by the Wind God Kick, it also prevented Die Yi Sen Luo from continuing to kill the Pain Six Paths.
Bai Cangshu's technique was spent, and he floated down from the air. Tendō Pain, however, suddenly appeared behind Bai Cangshu. Between his palms, a pitch-black Chakra orb had already reached Bai Cangshu's back.
Earth Explosion Star!
Amidst the violent trembling of the earth, the ground damage caused by the previous few explosions, and the already ruined environment of the Rain Country, instantly provided ample space for this high-level sealing jutsu of the Reincarnation Eye.
Bai Cangshu tried to move, but that black orb emitted a gravitational pull far stronger than Cosmic Pull. He couldn't break free for an instant. The next moment, large amounts of rocks, dirt, and trees flew towards him, instantly engulfing Bai Cangshu.
Then the earth began to crack, and more and more landmasses flew up, completely encasing Bai Cangshu in the air.

Finally, a giant stone sphere with a diameter exceeding a hundred meters appeared in the air.
Tendō Pain lowered his hands. He had to admit that this Tao Bai Bai was one of the most troublesome enemies he had encountered so far, far more difficult to deal with than Hanzo the Salamander.
"He... died?"
Pingzhong Hua was somewhat incredulous. That terrifying Tao Bai Bai was also suppressed in that large stone sphere?
She couldn't understand these ninja battles at all and could only ask dazedly.
Catherine supported the barrier with both hands, her heart already filled with dread. If Tao Bai Bai were sealed at this moment, her own fate, she imagined, would not be good.
"Woman over there, hand over the Uchiha Clan youth and that woman to me. I can spare your life."
Tendō Pain's tone returned to indifference, as cold as a god.
Catherine looked at Uchiha Itachi, whose injuries had healed somewhat but still lacked the ability to move, and Pingzhong Hua, whose face was somewhat panicked.
Her main mission's first phase was complete, and the second phase was triggered by Chaos, which was the Battle for Konoha. If she abandoned Tao Bai Bai now, handed over these two, and saved her life, there was a high probability that the main mission's second phase would also be fine.
Because these members of the Akatsuki organization would certainly not attack Konoha at this time. As long as she reported everything that happened between Itachi and Uchiha Shisui, her prestige in the Konoha faction would likely increase.
But... Catherine looked at the giant stone sphere floating in the air, instinctively feeling something was amiss.
Even though she knew very well that in the original work, Earth Explosion Star was a jutsu that could suppress even a tailed beast-transformed Naruto, and even Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed by this jutsu.
However... a guy like Tao Bai Bai always gave her a strong sense of abnormality. She found it hard to believe that such a person would be directly sealed without a backup plan, so she didn't make a decision immediately.
Seeing Catherine hesitate, Tendō Pain also indifferently raised his hand, preparing to kill the opponent.
But the next moment.
Crack~
The sound of the stone sphere cracking clearly emanated.
Konan saw this jutsu broken for the first time. Normally, even tailed beasts could be subdued by Nagato using this jutsu, but now this jutsu was broken?!
Crack!
The sound of shattering became even more distinct.
Tendō Pain turned his head.
Boom!
The giant stone sphere exploded in mid-air.
Tao Bai Bai's figure reappeared. The opponent's demeanor had changed significantly. If the previous Tao Bai Bai was merely a beast exuding a bloody scent, now, the opponent's slightly raised head and the arrogance in his drooping eyelids all displayed a profound self-assurance in his own power.
"Hmm, the scent of this world is quite nice, Tao Bai Bai. If you wanted my power, you should have called me sooner~"
"Heh, even if I possess you, it's better than dying, isn't it?"
A frivolous voice came from Bai Cangshu's mouth, but the next moment, a cruel tone retorted,
"Hey, hey, 2.5 Gojo Satoru, aren't you getting a bit carried away? I merely let you get some air. This body is far from being yours to control."
One face, two expressions. Black shadows flowed over Bai Cangshu's body, and purple Killing Intent Ripple dripped from his hands.
Bai Cangshu was, after all, the true master of the Heart's Throne, and instantly regained control. Gojo Satoru, that guy, seemed quite fond of such little tricks, always wanting to give himself a bit of "excitement" now and then.
Bai Cangshu spread his hands, and the familiar Cursed Energy flowed through his body. This power had a higher compatibility with the Yin Spirit power surging in his soul, making it easier to control.
His mouth unconsciously curled into a grin, and the colors of blue sky and white clouds began to appear in his pupils.
Limitless and Killing Intent Ripple flowed simultaneously. The exhilarating feeling of power surging through his blood and soul made Bai Cangshu's tone begin to sound strange.
"Nagato, I'm incredibly high right now!"
"Let's fight, let me see the pain you want to inflict upon the world..."
