Battle with Konoha

"Who goes there?!"

At the entrance of Konohagakure, two ninjas guarding the gate looked at the three people dressed in Akatsuki cloak and asked warily.

Sasori of the Red Sand had already created his Hiruko, hiding inside a Hiruko that resembled a giant combination of a turtle and a scorpion, no longer living up to his former image as a handsome man.

As for Kakuzu, with his green eyes, large mask, and the dark, bloody aura he exudes from years of mingling in the underground black market, he certainly doesn't look like a good person.

The only one who seems normal now is Nagato. After his modifications, Nagato can now use the Rinnegan freely, and under normal circumstances, he just has a pair of black eyes.

However, with two clearly formidable henchmen following him, the Konoha gatekeepers certainly wouldn't treat him like an ordinary person.

"Let's start here!" The controlled Nagato glanced at the two ninjas guarding the Nagato, and realizing that they weren't Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane, who were "so powerful that even Six Paths of Pain dared not enter through the main gate," he said with little interest.

That makes sense, these two gatekeepers of Konoha are probably only fifteen or sixteen years old, so they're not old enough to guard the gate yet.

"What do you want to do?!" The two Konoha Ninja guarding the gate already sensed something was wrong, but Nagato didn't give them a chance to make a move.

With a slight thought in his mind, a terrifying repulsive force erupted from the front of Nagato. With a loud bang, the entire gate of Konoha shattered instantly, and the powerful repulsive wave stretched for nearly a thousand meters, tearing the streets, buildings, and human bodies in front of Nagato to shreds.

Originally, Nagato's Shinra Tensei repelled everything around him indiscriminately with himself as the center, but now, after the Chip was optimized, he can control the direction of the attack.

Starting from Nagato, a semi-fan-shaped crater was formed over a distance of almost several hundred meters. The crater was filled with severed limbs and building ruins, and the two gatekeeper ninjas who were closest to the crater had long since turned into a pool of blood and mud.

"From now on, you two just need to provide support for me. Leave all these Konoha ninjas to me!"

Seeing the complete chaos of Konohagakure, with countless ninjas charging towards them, Nagato coldly said something to the two people behind him, and then went straight to meet them.

Sasori of the Red Sands and Kakuzu didn't try to be brave. They glanced at each other and then stepped back, ready to watch their boss's performance.

"What kind of bastard ninja came from, daring to attack Konohagakure!"

"What's going on? Have the Iwagakure and Kumogakure attacked?"

"Who?! Who did this?!"

As Nagato attacked, a large number of Konoha Ninja jumped out like bees whose hornet nest had been disturbed. Nagato did not dodge at all, so soon all the Konoha Ninja saw the starting point of the fan-shaped crater, where a figure wearing Akatsuki cloak stood.

Upon encountering the culprits, the Konoha ninjas, they did not hesitate at all. Leading the way were none other than the Ino-Shika-Cho from the Konoha area, and the three of them immediately launched a joint attack.

"Human Boulder!"

With a wild scream, a huge human figure curled up into a ball and fell directly from the sky.

"Shadow Possession Technique!"

The shadow cast by the Kongo Chariot flying in the sky suddenly sprouted long tentacles that connected directly to Nagato's shadow.

"Mind Shockwave!"

A Blond Ninja Hand Seals, and a strange mental force exploded directly in Nagato's mind, like a thunderclap.

The Ninjutsu of the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans has undergone tremendous changes, and is basically derived from Vegapunk's improvements.

While the Akimichi Clan's Human Bullet Tank were originally powerful, they were still made of flesh and blood. However, after being modified by Vegapunk, their defensive capabilities increased simultaneously when the humanoid tanks were deployed.

The Nara Clan's Shadow Imitation Technique has now gained a new method: infiltrating another person's shadow and directly controlling others by using the shadow of a teammate.

The Yamanaka Clan has also gained access to direct mental attacks. Most importantly, these are mental attacks, not soul attacks. Although they are slightly weaker than direct soul attacks, they do not backfire on the attackers.

"A mere trick, showing off your skills before an expert!" Nagato sneered. You see, Nagato is currently controlled by Vegapunk, and these new Ninjutsu were also developed by Vegapunk's clones. Saying that he was showing off his skills before an expert is really not an exaggeration.

Faced with the fastest mental attack from the Yamanaka Clan, Nagato's eyes flashed slightly, and his strange mental power was directly reflected back, striking the Akimichi Clan ninja.

The Akimichi Clan ninja felt a sudden dizziness. The Human Bullet Tank, which was spinning at high speed, immediately veered off course, and he tumbled to the ground, completely disoriented.

The Nara Clan ninja hiding in the shadows of the Akimichi Clan was thrown off course by the Akimichi Ninja's confusion, and thus did not touch Nagato's shadow at all.

Then, Nagato lightly stomped his foot, and a strange Chakra spread from the ground. The Nara Ninja was immediately pushed out of the shadows, his face still showing a hint of horror.

"What kind of Ninjutsu is this? Why did my Shadow Clone Technique fail?"

However, Nagato was clearly not in the mood to explain his abilities to them. Instead, he casually pushed, and the terrifying repulsive field erupted once again.

Completely different from the initial force field that resembled a wall, this time Nagato compressed the force field into a network, which surged forward like a laser net in an instant.

This form of defense is certainly not as impenetrable as a pure force field, but the compressed force field is like a sharp divine weapon, full of powerful cutting and killing power, and its offensive power far exceeds that of pure Shinra Tensei.

The Ino-Shika-Cho Trio was the first to attack Nagato, but dozens of other ninjas rushed out after them, though they hadn't had a chance to make a move yet.

The Ino-Shika-Cho Trio was on the verge of collapse, and the other ninjas were even more cautious, throwing various Kunai, shuriken, and Ninjutsu directly at Nagato. However, as Nagato once again unleashed a variant of Shinra Tensei, most of the weapons and Ninjutsu were cut and shattered. Occasionally, some fire and lightning Ninjutsu passed through the gaps in the force field, but they were easily blocked by Nagato.

Their attacks had little effect on them, while Nagato's counterattack tore apart most of his opponents in an instant!

Amidst the piercing screams, a large amount of Blood Mist rose up. The invisible and intangible repulsive force field, which moved with incredible speed and was compressed like a divine weapon, instantly divided the ninjas into seven or eight parts.

Even the original three Ino-Shika-Cho, apart from the Nara Ninja once again hid in the shadows, the other two were reduced to pieces.

"You... you bastard, you damned... you actually... killed so many people! You demon! You devil!"

When the remaining Nara Ninja emerged from the shadows, they looked around at the ravaged land and their fallen comrades, their eyes filled with fear and hatred.

However, despite being filled with anger and hatred, the Nara Ninja couldn't help but back away when he saw Nagato walking slowly towards Nagato.

Nagato sneered, "It's just a matter of the strong preying on the weak. The ninja profession is inherently about taking lives; there's nothing to blame for whoever gets killed!"

"If you are stronger than me and kill me, I won't have any complaints!"

Before she could finish speaking, Nagato reached out and touched the head of the Nara Clan. With her almost soul-extracting and mind-reading abilities activated, the Nara Clan immediately rolled his eyes and went silent.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... has been found!"

With a smile on his face, after receiving the information, Nagato controlled gravity to rise into the sky and flew directly towards the location of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Naruto Uzumaki, who is only four or five years old, is being led by several Anbu towards the Hokage Rock, which is Konoha's Shelter Room.

Of course, unlike the Shelter Room where ordinary people are crammed together, Naruto Uzumaki will have a higher-level single-person Shelter Room. This is partly to protect the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and partly to prevent the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from being stimulated by danger and going berserk in the crowd.

"Where are we going, masked ninja uncle?" Naruto Uzumaki, who was being carried on the back of an Anbu, looked around and asked.

"Go to safety." The Anbu carrying Naruto answered with only three words, sparing with his own.

"But... I don't need that many Anbu to protect me, do I? Aren't you going to deal with the enemy?"

Although he was young and had a carefree personality, Naruto Uzumaki had experienced the ups and downs of life, wasn't completely clueless. He asked a question with some curiosity.

"Protecting you is our mission," the Anbu replied calmly, then quickened their pace, which made Naruto Uzumaki even more puzzled.

Before he could ask any further questions, a figure descended from the sky. Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the figure, the several Anbu were immediately terrified and attacked without hesitation.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone!"

Fire Release: Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Claw Crimson

"Wind Release: Thousand Faces Cutter!"

A deluge of shuriken, mixed with flames and a whirlwind, crashed down upon Nagato as he descended from the sky. Nagato sneered and slightly raised his hand, "Shinra Tensei!"

All the attacks were instantly deflected, and amidst screams, all the Anbu except the Anbu carrying Naruto Uzumaki were reduced to ashes by their own attacks.

"Banshō Ten'in!" Nagato reached out, Naruto Uzumaki immediately felt a powerful pulling force acting on him. Then, he was pulled towards Nagato, flailing his arms and legs.

"Not good!" The ANBU member who was carrying Naruto felt a sudden Anbu on his back and saw Naruto flying towards Nagato. He gritted his teeth and drew the long sword from his back. "Let go of Naruto!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already leaped up, his long sword slashing down at Nagato: "Crescent Moon Dance!"

The figure split into three, then merged back into one, and the mesmerizing blade light unexpectedly slashed towards Nagato's head.

"Success!?" Feeling the touch of the long sword in his hand, the Anbu's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Obviously, that's just your imagination!"

A soft voice sounded, and the Anbu realized that his long sword was only a few centimeters in front of Nagato's forehead, where a Nagato armor of Chakra was forming.

The Rinnegan is the ultimate embodiment of Yang Release Yin Release Yin-Yang Release, and since Nagato also had the genes of the Uchiha Clan inputted into him, he was actually able to create Susanoo.

Previously, he lacked sufficient Chakra and could only barely use the Rinnegan, thus failing to fully develop its potential. Now, after being modified by Vegapunk and having Chip implanted in his brain, he is naturally able to unleash the full power of the Rinnegan.

Nagato's fighting style and habits didn't quite fit with Susanoo, which is why he didn't use it much. But that doesn't mean he didn't know how to use it; he Susanoo appear on his body at will, using it purely as a defensive measure.

"Is this... the latest Chakra Armor from the Kumogakure?"

The Anbu looked surprised and confused, but Nagato had no intention of explaining it to him and simply stretched out his hand.

Not good! The Anbu remembered how his comrade had died and retreated. However, Nagato did not use Shinra Tensei. Instead, he extended a huge Chakra dragon from his hand and instantly lashed out at the Anbu.

The Anbu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but the Chakra dragon that had been enveloping Anbu quickly returned to Nagato himself. The Anbu felt his vision go black, and all the Chakra and even his soul were completely drained from his body.

"What are you doing! You bad guy?" Naruto Uzumaki, who was being held in Nagato's hand, didn't know who Nagato was, but seeing him kill several Anbu, he knew that Nagato was definitely an enemy of Konoha. He clenched his little fists and waved them frantically, but to Nagato, it was no more than a tickle.

Naruto Uzumaki is not Kakashi Hatake. At only four or five years old, he hasn't even refined his chakra yet, so his fighting power is really no different from that of a four or five-year-old child.

Turning his head to look at Naruto Uzumaki, Nagato gently placed his hand on Naruto's head. Just then, a whooshing sound came from the sky.

"Young man, take your hand off!"

The giant Adamantine Staff that fell from the sky crashed down on Nagato with a thunderous roar, but just as it was about to hit the top of Nagato, he simply reached out and blocked it.

Nagato looked up at the sky, raised his arm, and what seemed like an ordinary arm supported the giant Adamantine Staff that fell from the sky. He activated his Preta Path ability and immediately began to draw Chakra from the Adamantine Staff.

Then the Third Hokage heard a scream, and the Adamantine Staff in his hand turned into white smoke and disappeared without a trace with a bang.

"What's going on..." The Third Hokage's face was grim as he controlled gravity to float in the sky. "Enma injured?"

The Adamantine Staff transformed by the Enma was indeed impervious to blades and spears, and impervious to water and fire, in no way inferior to Chakra Metal. However, it was still a creature that relied on Chakra. Faced with Nagato's power of absorbing Chakra and soul, it was naturally killed instantly.
