Wind Rises

When Naruto's rampage brought forth the sixth tail, not even Shinra Tensei could force him back another half step.

"So this is the Nine-Tails' power. Truly breathtaking, but..."

Pain brought his hands together, and a small glowing black sphere slowly floated into the sky.

"Planetary Devastation!"

The airship was already in the sky, so Nagato did not need to deliberately close the distance to Deva Path Pain. Seeing that he could not suppress the rampaging Naruto, Nagato unleashed his ultimate technique without hesitation.

Amid thunderous rumbling, the ground shook violently. Countless chunks of rubble from the already destroyed Konoha City flew toward the black sphere in the sky. Even Shiraishi Yoshijo and the Land of Fire's Daimyo were affected and had no choice but to retreat.

In barely half a minute, a massive floating stone sphere had appeared above Konoha.

The spectacular sight left every ninja dumbfounded.

"Are you kidding me? Is that something a human can do?"

"Where's Naruto?"

"Look! Naruto's already been sucked up there!"

Shiraishi Yoshijo stood together with the Land of Fire's Daimyo, while everyone else had been sent away by the two of them.

Looking at the stone sphere in the sky, the Daimyo took a deep breath, his expression somewhat defeated. "Is this the strength of top-tier ninja? Tell me the truth. This matter—no, does Akatsuki have anything to do with you?"

"Why would you think that?"

"Danzo told me that the two advisors have disappeared. Akatsuki came for the Tailed Beasts; they had no reason to attack the two advisors."

"And that alone makes you suspect me?"

"This isn't the first time you've done something like this! And as far as I know, most of the Shinobi World's underground organizations used to be under your control, but now they all belong to Akatsuki.
