Crack
Crack
The sounds of breaking continued!
With each crack, the sphere that had formed began to show signs of collapse. Cracks spread across its surface, and chunks of stone fell away.
"How is this possible!?"
A look of shock covered Nagato's usually impassive face.
After all, "Planetary Devastation" was one of his trump cards. By rights, in the Shinobi World as it stood, no one should have been able to escape its seal.
His assessment was not wrong.
In the original timeline, Naruto had managed to break free of Nagato's "Planetary Devastation" largely because Nagato had previously used "Super Almighty Push" to destroy Konoha, greatly exhausting the Rinnegan's power.
If Nagato had been at full strength, Naruto would not have been able to escape the "Planetary Devastation" he unleashed with all his might.
Obito, standing nearby, was also dumbfounded.
After their earlier clash, he had already thought highly of his opponent. But now he realized he had still underestimated the man's strength.
Rumble!
Just then, another roar rang out from the sky, accompanied by a dim yellow light shooting out of "Planetary Devastation"!
"What is that light?"
Nagato's gaze sharpened. He realized that this light was what had allowed his opponent to break free of "Planetary Devastation."
Crash!
"Planetary Devastation" crumbled faster, and large chunks of stone fell away. Before long, the mysterious man sealed inside came into view.
The mysterious man was clearly in bad shape, too.
Holding his lantern, he panted heavily. His haori was already in tatters, and his aura had weakened considerably.
Nagato and Obito were shocked by his strength, but he was just as astonished by theirs.
To deal with the "Lantern Bearer" who protected the Shinobi World, he had carefully studied the shinobi and knew that Kusagakure wasn't the strongest village in the
