Accompanied by a deafening dragon roar, five giant dragons of different colors, composed entirely of Senjutsu Chakra, appeared out of thin air.
Even if the Nature Transformation has not yet reached Transcendent level, it can still be perfectly manifested through Senjutsu Chakra.
They coexisted perfectly under the harmonization of Natural Energy, intertwined with each other, and transformed into a destructive torrent that rushed straight towards Deva Path Pain.
Deva Path Pain looked at the technique before him, and for the first time, a serious expression appeared on his face.
This technique can no longer be defined as S-rank Forbidden Jutsu.
Can Shinra Tensei deflect it...?
No, for the first time, Deva Path Pain realized there were still things his Rinnegan couldn't solve.
No--
Besides!
Although it wasn't intended for capturing Tailed Beasts, it was the only technique available to defend against it at the moment.
With his arms outstretched, Deva Path Pain's body gradually levitated.
"You have every reason to be proud that I've used this move!"
Drink--!
Deva Path Pain condensed a pitch-black gravitational core in mid-air, and as soon as it appeared, the entire earth felt as if it were being held in place by a force.
Ha--!
Immediately afterwards, Deva Path Pain roared with a ferocious expression, frantically gathering Chakra.
"Ah--!"
Buzz...
A strange fluctuation appeared, and the core point instantly unleashed a terrifying suction force, causing the earth to shatter and massive rocks and trees to fall.
Even the dragon-shaped Senjutsu used by Hagoromo was affected by this force.
Hagoromo frowned and dispersed his Chakra.
The powerful and ferocious Senjutsu dragon instantly disintegrated and vanished into nothingness.
Chibaku Tensei...
Seeing this, Deva Path Pain coldly replied, "It's useless."
"No matter what power you possess, your struggles are futile before these eyes."
"Accept God's judgment!"
The next moment, the gravitational pull at the core point intensified.
Even the ground where Hagoromo was standing was beginning to show signs of loosening.
He glanced at the ground, then at the somewhat deranged Deva Path Pain.
Hagoromo couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
This guy's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is exceptionally severe.
He withdrew his Ninjutsu simply because there was an easier way.
The original work already provided a solution, but it relied on a powerful Ninjutsu.
But he doesn't need it.
With a wave of his hand, a strange weapon appeared in his grasp.
Amenonuhoko.
The artifact of creation, though perhaps not that powerful, is sufficient to deal with the immediate threat of the Chibaku Tensei.
Deva Path Pain frowned, though he didn't know what weapon Hagoromo was holding.
But for some reason, I felt something was off.
He weighed the Amenonuhoko in his hand, Hagoromo poured Chakra into it, which was further enhanced by the Senjutsu Chakra.
Dark purple patterns appeared on the surface of the Amenonuhoko.
With a powerful thrust, it shot directly towards the core of the Chibaku Tensei.
Whoosh--
The ordinary Amenonuhoko shot straight away the moment it left the hand, and the suction force of the Chibaku Tensei made it burst into even greater speed.
Boom!!
In the blink of an eye, the Amenonuhoko collided violently with the core of the Chibaku Tensei.
At that moment, the whole world seemed to fall silent.
It was as if all sounds had been paused, and then a beam of light appeared.
An intense, blinding light spread out instantly from the point of impact.
Click--
Click--
A faint cracking sound rang out, and in the dazzling light, it was clear that cracks were spreading.
"Impossible!"
Deva Path Pain's pupils were filled with disbelief, followed by a shock to the connection between him and his original body.
The seemingly perfect core element instantly spiraled out of control.
Rumble--
The boulders and trees that had been sucked into the air fell down, sparks flying from the friction.
Hagoromo stood still, watching the boulders keep falling.
The entire ground was destroyed once again, but Hagoromo's gaze was fixed on Deva Path Pain was falling not far away.
At this moment, his condition was clearly not right.
His body was covered in countless cracks, yet not a drop of blood flowed out.
It was like a broken puppet.
Hagoromo raised his hand, and the Amenonuhoko automatically returned to his hand without any damage.
"You actually managed to crack it in this way..."
Deva Path Pain looked at Hagoromo, an enemy he had never truly looked at before.
Is it difficult?
Hagoromo remained calm. Although there was homework to copy, it was only because Chibaku Tensei could only be used instantly like Sasuke in the future.
Otherwise, given the current gap in Deva Path Pain's activation...
He has many ways to crack it.
Deva Path Pain fell silent, somewhat unable to discern the true strength of the Hagoromo before him.
As far as I'm concerned, my own strength alone is no longer enough to take down the Hagoromo before me.
Alone...
Thinking of this, Deva Path Pain looked up at Hagoromo.
So this guy always knew about the Rinnegan! That's why he was separated from the other Five Paths!
"I see, then..."
Thinking this, Nagato, who was controlling the Deva Nagato of Deva Path Pain, began to communicate with the Animal Path on the other side.
Once Deva Path Pain is summoned, he can use the Naraka Path to repair this body.
Um?!
Deva Path Pain, who had just finished communicating with the Animal Path and wanted to summon the Deva Path, showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"What? Is it because you can't use the Summoning Technique?"
A smile appeared on Hagoromo's face as she asked softly.
It sounded like a question, but the tone was sarcastic.
"How... how did you know about the Rinnegan? I don't remember Itachi ever being able to get any information from me."
Deva Path Pain looked at Hagoromo.
This guy made him feel a little powerless.
Hagoromo maintained the same smile, showing no intention of responding whatsoever.
Call out--
Upon seeing Hagoromo's expression, Deva Path immediately raised his hand, and a black Chakra Receiver shot out rapidly with the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei.
Clang--
Hagoromo raised her hand and grabbed it directly, then couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the Chakra Receiver in her hand.
I finally got it.
With the enhancement of Senjutsu Mode, Nagato, who had been hidden, appeared directly in his perception the next instant.
"Found you."
After saying this, Hagoromo Body Flicker Technique behind Deva Path Pain, unleashing countless Black Threads that pierced through him.
They sealed Pain, the Deva Path Pain, away.
"Aren't you coming out yet?"
Hagoromo looked at a huge rock not far away and shouted.
Clatter
Jiraiya's figure slowly emerged from behind the boulder.
Upon seeing this Deva Path Pain, who possessed consciousness, shrank his pupils sharply.
"Jiraiya... teacher."
"Yahiko... is that you?"
Jiraiya looked at Yahiko, his mouth involuntarily opening and closing.
Although he had always known, it wasn't until he saw Yahiko that he was truly certain—his disciple had indeed embarked on this path.
"Stop asking. The guy in front of you is just a corpse. You should go find the real deal."
Hagoromo interrupted Jiraiya's attempt to continue asking questions and spoke up.
