Faced with such a dire situation, Nagato had initially intended to summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path again.
Although all the chakra inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had been drained, becoming the Nine Tailed Beasts scattered across the Shinobi World and leaving behind only the Ten-Tails' husk,
its enormous body still contained the Ten-Tails' life force, making it just the thing to use against Susanoo.
A battle between the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and Susanoo would be no less spectacular than the battle between Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju at the Valley of the End.
But Minato Namikaze had now returned as well. The rapid mobility of his Flying Thunder God Technique was the perfect counter to a lumbering war machine like the Six Paths Puppets.
Summoning the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path at such a great chakra cost would only turn it into a moving target. It simply wasn't worth it.
That was also the main reason Nagato was so eager to collect the Nine Tailed Beasts. Only by sealing the captured Tailed Beasts inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and giving it chakra to draw on could it unleash its true power.
Even if he encountered a situation like this again, Nagato wouldn't be left so helpless.
Nagato had made the Nine-Tails his first target not only because Shimura Danzō had manipulated him, but also because of his own intense hunger for power.
If he had possessed enough power, Yahiko wouldn't have died. The three of them could have continued living happily together. That was the obsession buried deep in Nagato's heart.
At that thought, Deva Path Pain raised his head again, his gaze resolute as he faced the two powerful enemies before him.
