A Terrifying Future

However.

Jueming did not attack Momoka Senju.

Instead, he vanished in an instant.

In the blink of an eye.

Only a Flying Thunder God Kunai remained on the ground.

"Cough, cough..."

The Great Elder lay in a pool of blood.

Because of the distance, they had not been struck by the spreading mutated Chakra immediately.

But.

After only a single exchange.

The aftershock of Momoka Senju's attack had casually inflicted devastating wounds.

The body's decline told the Great Elder that death was imminent...

They did not fear death.

A familiar figure appeared before them.

Sayuri looked over and spoke calmly.

A flicker of confusion passed through the Great Elder's eyes.

Their lips moved, as though they wanted to say something.

But...

Their gaze dimmed, life rapidly drained away, and then... ceased.

"Seal!"

Using a Sealing Technique, Sayuri sealed the Great Elder's corpse into a scroll.

Taking one step forward, Sayuri left directly.

Sayuri's progress in collecting corpses continued.

Meanwhile, Jueming had split up from Sayuri.

"Where are you going?" Mito Uzumaki asked.

Jueming's expression was icy. "To find Nagato."

Hearing Jueming's words.

Mito Uzumaki froze for a moment before understanding. "You want to... take his Rinnegan, then use the Outer Path
