The Eye's Nemesis-Solar Flare! (Third Update)

"Found it!"

After a barrage of attacks while dangling Six Paths of Pain, most of the tower in Amegakure was destroyed, and Hawking finally found the tower where Nagato was hiding.

"It seems I underestimated you. When did Konoha produce a ninja as powerful as you? What's your name?"

On the destroyed half of the tower, Nagato was revealed, his back covered with black Chakra rods, his body emaciated, and half of his body inserted into a Nagato.

Beside her was Konan, who had a pair of white Paper Release wings and looked like Angel.

"I'm not exactly Hidden Leaf Ninjas, you can call me Hawking."

Now that Nagato form has been found, Hawking is no longer in a hurry.

Since Jiraiya appeared, and such a huge commotion has occurred, it's possible that Zetsu and Obito are already hiding nearby.

Once he reveals his intentions, Obito's vigilance will inevitably increase significantly.

"Hawking, why did you become the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki? Were the previous Jinchuriki dead?"

Nagato looked puzzled; he had never heard of this name before.

Zetsu would report information about all the major ninja villages to him, and Zetsu always paid attention to information about the more famous ninjas in the villages.

Someone like Hawking, who didn't publicly display his strength in the village and didn't actually have a ninja identity, was naturally outside Zetsu's scope of attention.

The only time she displayed her strength was when she captured Kakuzu and Hidan, but that wasn't in Konoha, Tsunade had issued a gag order for the relevant ninjas, so it didn't spread.

Even Danzo and his two advisors were unaware that it was Hawking who captured Kakuzu and Hidan.

"I think this point can't be explained in just a few words, so let's get closer to it."

Hawking smiled and moved a short distance toward Nagato.

However, they were quickly stopped by Nagato commanding the Six Paths of Pain:

"I hope you face reality; you can't escape today!"

Besides Konan protecting Nagato and the Six Paths of Pain surrounding and intercepting him, the surrounding destroyed towers were filled with Jonin, Chunin, and Genin from Amegakure, ready to pounce.

"You're really confident. Well, let's give it a try."

Hawking looked up at the dark clouds that had dispersed earlier because he was going to Paper Release to find Jiraiya, and at the bright sun hanging high in the sky, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Summoning Technique!"

The Animal Path was the first to attack, summoning four powerful summoned beasts: the Multi-Headed Dog, the Hell Crab, the Chameleon, and the Bull, which immediately launched an attack on Hawking.

Next is the Asura Path, which directly displays a three-headed, six-armed mechanical body with a snake-like serrated edge extending from its back, and laser cannons emanating from its head that shoot towards Hawking.

The Human Path, hidden in the shadows, and the Naraka Path, capable of reviving the other Five Paths, arrived beside Nagato. The Preta Path, capable of absorbing energy attacks, stood in front of Nagato, protecting Nagato and the Naraka Path together with Konan.

The Deva Path flew into the sky and used the Banshō Ten'in pull up the remains of those towers and smash them towards Hawking.

The ninjas from Amegakure unleashed their most skilled Ninjutsu to attack Hawking.

"What happened?"

However, they soon discovered a problem: all the attacks had passed through Hawking's body and had not hit Hawking.

"This Ninjutsu is... not right!"

At this moment, Uchiha Obito, who was hiding in the shadows, was also startled to see all the attacks pass through Hawking's body.

This is because it is the ability of his Mangekyō Sharingan to Hollowfication, which allows him to hide the attacked part in Different Dimension when he is attacked, thus achieving the effect of avoiding all attacks.

But he soon realized something was wrong, because Hawking suddenly disappeared a moment later, and his figure had appeared in front of the Preta Path.

"Get out of my way!"

Using his Afterimage Fist to deceive everyone, Hawking rushed to the Preta Path at top speed and then slapped the Preta Path's head away with a powerful blow.

The Preta Path can absorb energy, but its drawback is that it cannot absorb the kinetic energy generated by physical attacks like the Black King.

He collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

As Hawking slapped the Preta Path to death, he also touched Konan's forehead with his other hand.

Konan's Paper Release allows her to transform into paper cutouts, making her immune to physical attacks, but it cannot protect her from mental attacks like the Stupefy Curse.

With the two obstacles blocking Nagato, the Preta Path and Konan, cleared away, Hawking reached out as if to attack Nagato's main body.

However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Hawking. It was the Human Path who had been hiding in the shadows. While Hawking was dealing with the Preta Path and Konan, he came behind Hawking and began to activate his ability.

"Soul Extraction!"

The Human Path has only two abilities: reading memories and extracting souls.

Once the Human Path seizes the opportunity to extract your soul, no matter how strong you are, you will be unable to resist if you have no knowledge of the soul.

However, the stronger a person is, the slower their soul will be extracted.

However, once the soul is extracted, the body will naturally become immobile and can be easily killed by the other Five Paths.

We won!

Upon discovering that Hawking's soul had been pulled from his body, Nagato, Obito, who were hiding in the shadows, felt that the situation was settled and instantly breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves relaxing.

Hawking just demonstrated incredible speed, and both Preta Path and Konan were taken down in an instant.

If it weren't for the Human Path as a backup plan, Obito would have already used his ability to rescue Nagato.

"How could it be so fast?"

However, at that moment, Nagato felt a renewed sense of doubt.

The stronger a person is, the slower they can extract their soul. Logically speaking, given the strength King Kong demonstrated, it should take at least half a minute to extract his soul.

However, he discovered that Hawking's soul was suddenly extracted in less than a second.

"Getsuga Tensho!"

The moment his soul was extracted, Hawking, dressed in a Shinigami Garb, raised his hand and unleashed a Crescent Getsuga Tensho, instantly splitting the Human Path in two.

In fact, he had already discovered the Human Path's sneak attack and deliberately let it extract his soul in order to lull Nagato and Obito into a false sense of security.

The other party indeed fell for the trap.

An ordinary ninja would surely die if his soul were extracted, but he was different. He was Reaper, and his power could only be unleashed when his soul left his body.

With a single slash, he cleaved the Human Path, Hawking immediately returned to his physical body, then softly uttered:

"Solar Flare!"

Suddenly, a blinding light emanated from Hawking, and all the eyes that had been drawn to him by the sudden splitting of the Human Path in two were instinctively pierced and closed.

This also includes Nagato and Obito, who was secretly spying on them.

Hawking seized the opportunity to rush to Nagato at top speed and snatched one of his Rinnegan.

"Ah!"

Nagato let out a scream.

Upon hearing Nagato's scream, Obito's expression changed. He forced his eyes open, activated his ability, and appeared beside Nagato, pulling Nagato into Different Dimension for the time being.
