Chapter 257: Planetary Devastation
Although it wasn't a headshot, the hit area became swollen.
However, since it was a controlled corpse, Nagatofelt no pain.
Before hitting the ground, Deva Path Painperformed a reverse thrust, flipping his body and floating in the air using repulsive and attractive forces.
He looked at Naruto without a word, his Rinneganshifting slightly.
Instantly, an unusual sound echoed through the air.
Naruto turned his head to see a rocket.
A technique of the Asura Path.
One of the Six Paths of Pain; besides the Deva Path, the Asura Path had left a deep impression on him in his past life.
Because his combat methods were particularly sci-fi, just like the Terminator.
Naruto leaped into the air.
As expected, the rocket made a right-angle turn and continued chasing his tail.
At the same time, a loud bird cry came from above his head.
Its eyes bore the mark of the Rinnegan, and its body was massive, exceeding ten meters.
It wasn't a common species, but its claws were sharp and fierce, clutching directly for Naruto's head.
It was undoubtedly a Summoned Beast of the Animal Path.
He didn't know if it was the male one or the later Shiyohana.
Because Jiraiya hadn't died, the Six Paths of Painhad never suffered any damage until now.
Naruto watched Deva Path Pain, his body flashing and disappearing into the air.
The rocket couldn't dodge and collided with the giant bird, resulting in a loud explosion.
The sound of rotating wind suddenly appeared and expanded rapidly.
In an instant, a Wind Release: Rasenshuriken was thrown out.
Deva Path Pain still made no move.
He only felt that this Ninjutsu looked somewhat familiar.
Like Jiraiya's Rasengan.
But both its form and power were worlds apart, so he didn't guess that The Fool's identity was Naruto.
The Preta Path appeared in front of Deva Path Pain.
A fat Ninja, he spread his hands, and an invisible shield touched the massive Rasenshuriken.
A few seconds later, the Chakra was completely absorbed.
The previously hidden Asura Path emerged from beneath Naruto's feet with his large bald head.
With a click, his skull opened, firing seven or eight blue laser beams.
Like lightning, they reached Naruto in an instant.
The Asura Path didn't stop, pulling off his own wrist to reveal intertwined rockets.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, like a blooming firework, they opened from bottom to top.
And the previous giant bird also launched another attack.
Naruto's Enma suddenly slashed horizontally downward.
The fiery red blade light was like an arched sun, radiating light and heat.
After the blade light passed, the rockets exploded one after another.
But only the lasers continued forward.
However, they hit Naruto's Yasuo passive shield and were immediately neutralized.
"Druid Transformation."
Naruto roared toward the sky, transforming into a national treasure panda, and slapped the giant bird's head.
With immense force, accompanied by a crack, its head was instantly dislocated, and it died instantly.
Deva Path Pain was slightly stunned.
What on earth is this?
Why are they all Ninjutsu I've never seen before?
Nagato expressionlessly controlled the Asura Pathto jump up from beneath the desert.
In mid-air, three heads and six arms appeared.
His back split open, pulling out a two-to-three-meter-long saw blade.
And the Human Path, which had been hidden all along, followed closely behind.
Naruto canceled his transformation; his size was too large and not suitable for close combat.
If he remembered correctly, the Human Path's Ninjutsu was to extract souls.
He didn't want to get a taste of that.
Thinking of this, he used Heavenly Street Patrolonce again.
But unlike before, he added Sage Chakra this time.
Above the horizon, it seemed as if countless lightning flashes appeared, covering the Asura Path and the Human Path.
Then they exploded one by one.
The two were sent flying back like cannonballs.
They landed on the ground, kicking up dust two meters high.
Among them, the Asura Path was the most heavily injured.
He had faced the enemy with his saw blade.
Now it was broken into several pieces, and charred marks spread across his back.
"Troublesome Sage Mode," Nagato said in a cold tone.
His Six Paths of Pain were the nemesis of almost all Ninjas.
Except for those who knew Sage Ninjutsu.
After all, these two were not part of the same system.
He thought for a moment; the other five paths weren't very effective against Naruto, and only by concentrating power could he be defeated.
Deva Path Pain reached out his hand.
The Asura Path and Preta Path returned to defend.
"Bansho Ten'in!"
A powerful suction emerged from the center of his right palm, locking onto Naruto.
Instantly, his body rushed forward uncontrollably.
But Deva Path Pain didn't let his guard down.
If one wanted to escape using Space-Time Ninjutsu, they could.
However, to his slight surprise, it went very smoothly.
Naruto was lifted by Deva Path Pain, his neck gripped tightly as the force suddenly increased.
He felt suffocation and death.
But he wasn't panicked at all.
He spread his hands, aiming at Deva Path Pain.
Sage Art: Six Meridian Divine Sword!
Ten fingers simultaneously fired fierce and rapid Chakra sword Qi.
Deva Path Pain clearly hadn't expected a Ninja to be able to perform such a powerful Ninjutsuwithout weaving signs.
Especially while being controlled by his Bansho Ten'in.
Crisis struck.
Deva Path Pain let go and retreated.
But it was too late.
In his haste, the Preta Path threw himself onto him.
Blood splattered.
Naruto didn't pursue but also retreated, avoiding the Asura Path's six arms.
He sneered; so what if you have many hands?
Enma appeared again.
Wrapped in Sage Chakra.
He slashed down at the six arms; although the Asura Path reacted quickly, five were still cut off, leaving him one-armed.
Tsk.
You're an Asura.
Well, I'm Ashura too.
Naruto complained in his heart and followed up, using his favorite Heavenly Street Patrol.
He had found that this move was truly useful.
Setting aside the damage, the invincibility frames were indeed ridiculous.
It could even ignore Shinra Tensei.
Countless saw blades immediately emerged from the Asura Path's remaining right arm.
But they couldn't hit at all.
The sword beams of Heavenly Street Patrol all landed on the Asura Path's head.
In an instant, a dazzling and piercing lightning flash erupted.
Blood and various mechanical parts scattered all over the ground.
The heroic sacrifices of the Asura Path and Preta Path happened in the blink of an eye; by the time Deva Path Pain steadied himself, he only saw two mangled corpses.
However, he didn't care at all.
Anyway, with the Naraka Path, they could all be reborn.
Losing two paths actually allowed for better control over the remaining four.
The Naraka Path wasn't responsible for combat and belonged to logistics; he could be ignored for now.
Besides the Deva Path, there were also the Human Path and the Animal Path.
Nagato pondered slightly.
The Animal Path appeared behind Naruto, but quite far away, and pressed his hand against the ground.
Summoning Jutsu: Hellhound!
In front of him, amidst the flying dust, a three-headed Hellhound appeared.
It roared and charged forward like a bull.
Naruto reached back.
Enma flashed in the air.
Immediately afterward, a forty-meter-long flaming blade beam erupted.
It sliced the Hellhound horizontally.
But the two pieces of flesh wriggled again, as if copy-pasted, turning into two Hellhounds.
Naruto raised an eyebrow.
He seemed to have this impression.
A Hellhound that can multiply.
He raised his blade and slashed down again.
Four Hellhounds.
Naruto leaped into the air.
The Hellhounds, unable to fly, jumped around below.
They looked a bit like puppies trying to catch food.
Oh wait, it wasn't just "like"; they were puppies.
Just that these dogs weren't very small.
Seeing this, the Animal Path pressed down once more.
Summoning Jutsu: Yatagarasu!
It was as massive as the previous giant bird, like a pterosaur, with the only difference being its very sharp beak.
Just as Naruto thought he would be attacked by the beak, the Yatagarasu's belly churned, and it dropped a row of bird eggs.
In an instant, the bird eggs exploded.
Infinite flames filled the air.
Deva Path Pain's Rinnegan shifted, finding Narutowho had disappeared using Space-Time Ninjutsuand then reappeared, and he reached out his hand.
Bansho Ten'in!
The first time didn't work.
It was neutralized by Yasuo's shield.
Deva Path Pain instantly used it a second time.
Naruto's body fell uncontrollably.
As he approached, the Human Path suddenly grabbed for his head.
Nagato's goal wasn't just to pull Naruto over.
After all, it had already been proven that this method was useless.
He wanted to control him for a second.
Then use the Human Path to extract his soul.
It must be said that Naruto was indeed a beat slow.
The stun from Bansho Ten'in wasn't that easy to eliminate.
But after the Human Path touched his head, it was of no use.
The soul extraction failed.
Naruto was slightly stunned, then understood the reason.
First was the system, and second was his backup body, the Perfect Puppet.
Under double locking, the Human Path couldn't pull it out.
Besides these two, there might also be the contingencies left by the Six Paths Sage, Minato Namikaze, and Uzumaki Kushina.
In short, the cheating Nagato had met another health-locking cheat.
Although Deva Path Pain was shocked internally, he retreated without hesitation.
Naruto's Six Meridian Divine Sword could only turn toward the Human Path.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Ten blood holes appeared on the Human Path's body.
He fell down.
A hint of complexity appeared in Deva Path Pain's eyes.
Why is this guy so strange?
This was the first time he had encountered a failure in soul extraction.
Moreover, almost all the Ninjutsu The Fool had used so far were S-rank Ninjutsu with massive consumption, but there was no sign of his Chakradisappearing at all.
It was simply like seeing a ghost.
He himself possessed the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan, naturally having extremely strong recovery and massive Chakra.
Even so, after controlling the Six Paths to fight for so long, he felt that his Chakra was running a bit low.
Nagato realized he couldn't keep fighting like this.
He had to win with one blow.
Deva Path Pain flew up under his control, standing high in the sky.
He looked at Naruto, and a black sphere rose from behind him, hovering above his head.
Deva Path Pain clasped his hands together.
The black sphere rapidly ascended.
An extremely powerful gravitational force suddenly erupted.
Infinite light burst forth.
Just like the sun.
The entire desert began to tremble.
"What's going on?!"
"An earthquake?"
"A sun in the sky?!"
With such a large commotion, as long as one wasn't blind, they could see it and realize the coming crisis.
Because everyone present was within range.
They stopped one after another.
Konan's expression changed drastically; he actually went to this extent?!
She was almost the person who understood Nagato best.
This Ninjutsu descending from the sky was exactly Planetary Devastation.
The technique used by the legendary Six Paths Sage to seal the Ten-Tails.
This area of several thousand meters would likely suffer.
Nagato had actually been forced to this extent.
It meant he had no other way to deal with The Fool.
"All members of the Akatsuki Organization, retreat!"
Konan immediately transmitted her voice.
Although Planetary Devastation could specify targets, with such a large range, accidental injury was common.
Tobi, Uzumaki Menma, and Karen turned and ran without hesitation.
The three of them were the ones who understood the power of Planetary Devastation best, besides Konan.
Seeing this, Kakuzu and the others also hurriedly fled.
They weren't fools.
Why would they stay behind for such a world-destroying Ninjutsu?
"Hiss~"
Jiraiya gasped.
What the hell is going on?
This scene was the greatest shock to him.
"Are you stupid?"
Tsunade punched him directly and shouted, "Hurry up and retreat!"
Even the other members of the Akatsuki Organization, as their own people, didn't dare to stay, let alone them.
"What about Naruto?"
Jiraiya rubbed his face; fortunately, the punch wasn't heavy, and it was nothing serious.
"He has the Flying Thunder God Technique."
Tsunade glared at him. "Even if you die, he won't."
"Why say such unlucky things?"
Jiraiya chuckled, took her hand, and turned to run back.
Only after running out of a certain range did they continue to look at that sphere.
Countless quicksands are flowing back..
The sphere grew larger and larger.
Sasuke gripped the sword of the thunder god, frowning slightly.
He had wanted to go up and help.
But he was held back by Naruto's Shadow Clone, The Fool.
"Why hasn't Naruto left yet?"
Neji said with some worry, his Byakugan active.
He knew Naruto was very strong, but the power of this Planetary Devastation was truly too terrifying.
"He'll be fine," Sasuke said calmly.
Jiraiya glanced at him, thoughtful.
Since he was so confident, Naruto should be able to handle it.
In a short time, the sphere in the sky became so large that it seemed to separate heaven and earth, exuding an unimaginable pressure.
Konan was worried, looking around, her body turning into pieces of paper.
A few seconds later, she arrived in front of a giant cactus.
"Nagato?!"
Konan couldn't help but cry out.
The emaciated Nagato's mouth and nose were covered in blood.
"That's enough!" Konan hurriedly added.
"Not enough!"
Nagato seemed to be answering her question, yet also seemed to be talking to himself. "Why? Why can he still resist this power?"
Konan was shocked to hear this.
Planetary Devastation was essentially a Sealing Jutsu.
But it needed to attract the target itself.
And Nagato's meaning was that The Fool hadn't been sucked into the sphere even now, so he was forced to increase the Chakra input.
How could The Fool be so strong?
Like Nagato, Konan completely couldn't understand.
Clearly, when he first joined the Akatsuki Organization, although The Fool's strength was top-tier, it couldn't compare to Uchiha Itachi and others, let alone Nagato.
"Senior brother, I wonder if you can still hold on?"
Naruto stood in place, but his hair and clothes were floating upward.
His footsteps also became unstable.
Without Kurama, he had already reached his limit.
This was thanks to his maxed-out defense body.
Otherwise, it would have been even worse, and he would have been sucked up long ago.
Naruto pondered slightly.
He remembered in the original work, Planetary Devastation sucked up the six-tailed Naruto, who eventually went berserk and wanted to fully release the Nine-Tails.
But when the seal was being undone, Minatoappeared and stopped him.
However, seven tails seemed to be enough to break free from the Planetary Devastation used by this sickly version of Nagato.
Naruto raised his head and looked north.
In fact, he had known Nagato's location for a long time.
"Kurama, lend me seven tails."
Naruto said.
"No problem!"
The eager Kurama laughed loudly and shouted, "The shock of the king, shown now! Behold the power that makes heaven and earth wail! Synchro Summon, my great work, True Red Demon Fox!"
"???"
Naruto almost twisted his waist. "Don't shout the second half randomly, okay?"
A piercing brilliance.
Even compared to the sun, it could not be obscured.
Crimson Chakra soared into the sky.
With Naruto as the center, everywhere it passed was reduced to dust.
I'm so exhausted. I had originally bought a ticket back to the company, transferring through Hangzhou, but a confirmed case appeared in Hangzhou today, so I had to refund the ticket and change my route.
