As Nagato roared in fury, a powerful repulsive force surged forth with his shout, instantly striking Hyuga Kagami and blasting him back more than ten meters.
After steadying himself, Hyuga Kagami slowly lowered his right hand and discreetly dispelled the "Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion" in his hand.
