"Do you want to unify the entire Shinobi World?"
At that moment, Pain Heavenly Dao opened his Rinnegan-patterned eyes and looked at Chen Yiban inside the enormous Susanoo Stage Three before him.
Chen Yiban was speechless!
Pain Heavenly Dao continued:
"What good would unifying it do?"
"People can't understand one another. The only way is to make everyone feel the same pain!"
"Using the power of my Rinnegan!"
Pain Heavenly Dao slowly formed a black core in his hand.
"That's..." Konan exclaimed in surprise when she saw it.
"Nagato, you can't use that technique in the village!"
But—
"The other man may really be the legendary ninja, Uchiha Madara. He's incredibly powerful. This is the only way to make him feel pain!"
Pain Heavenly Dao's face was cold and impassive.
"What does that man with the legendary eyes intend to do?" Watching Pain Heavenly Dao's actions, Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help feeling curious.
"Planetary Devastation?" Chen Yiban said calmly from the head of Susanoo Stage Three, folding his arms across his chest.
He seemed not to care at all!
"You know about Planetary Devastation?" Konan stared at Chen Yiban in surprise.
Nagato had rarely used Planetary Devastation. In fact, he'd never used it in front of anyone before.
Why would the legendary ninja, Uchiha Madara, know of this technique—and even be able to name it?
"Feel pain!!"
At that moment, Pain Heavenly Dao hurled the black core in his hand high into the sky.
"Nagato...!" Konan stared in shock.
Why had Nagato actually used Planetary Devastation in the village? Countless Rain Village ninja and civilians were still there.
Was the legendary ninja, Uchiha Madara, really powerful enough to force Nagato into this?
Whoosh—
As Konan watched in alarm, the core of Planetary Devastation began unleashing an immensely powerful gravitational force.
On the ground, countless steel buildings began to shake!
In particular, the enormous chunks of steel buildings that Susanoo Stage Three had just smashed apart were sucked upward.
"What's happening...?" Sasuke Uchiha felt his body being pulled upward.
He hurriedly retreated, chakra gripping the ground beneath his feet!
Meanwhile, before Planetary Devastation's gravitational force could fully erupt, Konan spread her paper wings and flew away.
"What did Lord Tendo do?" The Rain Ninja and civilians in the village watched the core of Planetary Devastation from afar, still curious and amazed.
They had no idea death was upon them!
Of course, that was only if Chen Yiban remained unmoved.
"But I told you. The Rinnegan may be a divine power, but... it depends on who's using it!"
Chen Yiban's blood-red Mangekyō Sharingan glinted with arrogant confidence.
"You, Nagato!"
"You said you'd make me feel pain?"
"Hah. I want you to feel despair!"
Murmuring these words,
Chen Yiban slowly closed his eyes.
When he opened them again—
Clang—
His ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan had evolved into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
At the same time—
"Susanoo Complete Body!!"
Whoosh—
Terrifying chakra and immense ocular power erupted in an instant.
In no time at all, a terrifying blue-armored giant more than two hundred meters tall appeared before everyone.
"Th-that's... the enemy who invaded the village?"
The Rain Ninja and civilians who saw the Perfect Susanoo were just as stunned as the people of Konoha had been.
Every last one of them was dumbstruck!
"The thing people have been talking about lately... the Perfect Susanoo. I can't believe it really reaches this scale..." Konan hovered in the distance, staring in disbelief.
At that moment, Chen Yiban was inside the diamond-shaped crystal in the head of the Susanoo Complete Body. He saw that the black core of Planetary Devastation was right in front of him.
His thoughts stirred.
Immediately, the Perfect Susanoo seized the floating black core in its enormous hands.
Then—
Boom—
It crushed it!
The fragments, along with some of the steel debris that had just been pulled up, fell back to the ground.
"Planetary Devastation was just..." Konan murmured, dazed.
"Madara..." Uzumaki Nagato, controlling the Six Paths of Pain from afar, was also astonished.
He hadn't expected Susanoo's power to be this strong!
"Sensei..." Seeing Chen Yiban's Susanoo Complete Body once again, Sasuke was captivated.
He couldn't help yearning for such supreme Uchiha power!
"Will you submit now?"
Standing inside the crystal in the head of the enormous Susanoo Complete Body, Chen Yiban spoke coldly, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan aglow.
"Rinnegan: Summoning Jutsu!!" The Animal Path's roar was the Six Paths of Pain's response.
The next second, several three-headed hellhounds charged toward them.
"Futile resistance from a fool!" Chen Yiban said coldly.
Then—
Whoosh—
As the hellhounds rushed forward, Chen Yiban controlled the Perfect Susanoo to reach out. In almost an instant, it sucked every hellhound into the darkness.
It was Kamui!!
The Susanoo Complete Body didn't stop moving.
Clang—BOOM!!
A terrifying draw-slash from the Susanoo Complete Body swept out, just as it had when it cleaved through Konoha Ninja Village.
Boom—
Everything in its path was reduced to rubble!
It didn't stop until a several-thousand-meter-long chasm had appeared.
The entire Rain Ninja Village had been split in two!!
The scene of Konoha being cleaved in half had now been repeated in Rain Ninja Village.
"Ugh...!" Konan spat blood as she struggled to her feet amid the ruins.
She had only been flung away by the shock wave of the slash and smashed into a steel building.
Yet even that shock wave had made Konan cough up blood and left her injured!
"It's just like what happened to Konoha..." Behind Susanoo, Sasuke Uchiha stared wide-eyed at the scene he'd witnessed not long ago in Konoha.
The power of this Susanoo was simply...
"Pain!" Konan wanted to know whether Pain Heavenly Dao—or rather, Yahiko's body—had escaped being completely destroyed.
Just then—
Whoosh—
Chen Yiban suddenly appeared in front of her, as if he'd teleported out of the towering Susanoo Complete Body.
He had moved some distance inside Susanoo and then used Amenotejikara!
Konan stared at Chen Yiban, unable to believe he had teleported in front of her.
And then she saw his eyes—
"R-Rinnegan..."
Seeing the same pale purple eyes with concentric rings as Nagato's, Konan was struck with even greater shock and disbelief.
By the time she hurriedly reacted and tried to run, it was too late.
Crack—
"Ah...!!"
The scene shifted as Konan cried out in pain.
Four black rods had pinned her firmly to the ground!
"The beautiful angel has fallen."
With his pale purple Rinnegan, Chen Yiban slowly stepped forward.
Then—
Tap—
A foot clad in a black ninja sandal came down on Konan's head.
"You..." Humiliated and in terrible pain, Konan glared furiously at Chen Yiban, who was standing on her head.
"Shinra Tensei!!"
Suddenly, Pain Heavenly Dao—battered and disheveled—flew alone out of the chasm carved by the Perfect Susanoo and unleashed a Rinnegan ability at Chen Yiban.
"Shinra Tensei!!" Chen Yiban calmly raised a hand and countered with the very same ability.
Boom—
As expected, Pain Heavenly Dao was blasted away without the slightest chance, crashing through numerous steel buildings in Rain Ninja Village.
"Pain..." Pinned by her limbs, Konan was still worried about Pain—or rather, Yahiko's corpse.
Crack—
Chen Yiban pointed one hand straight down at Konan, who was pinned beneath his foot.
At the same time, a black rod slowly extended from his palm...!
"Well?"
"You, Nagato! Are you really going to watch this beautiful paper angel die?"
Pointing the black rod in his hand at Konan beneath his foot, Chen Yiban threatened her life.
"You... As the legendary ninja Uchiha Madara, how could you... Ugh." Konan taunted Chen Yiban, but before she could finish, he pressed down hard on her head with his foot.
"You... bastard!" Konan wanted nothing more than to kill Chen Yiban on the spot.
Elsewhere—
"Konan..."
"Yahiko, I... I once failed to protect you. Now I absolutely can't let anything happen to Konan!"
"I can't...!!"
In a hidden place somewhere in Rain Ninja Village, the emaciated Uzumaki Nagato muttered to himself over and over.
"Let her go!" Pain Heavenly Dao then returned to stand before Chen Yiban.
But he no longer seemed intent on attacking!
"Good! Looks like you understand the reality of the situation!"
Chen Yiban's pale purple Rinnegan glinted as a cold, satisfied smile appeared on his face.
