In the next instant, the situation on both sides of the rift changed.
Rumble—
With a thunderous boom, Ye Ning withdrew his attack and staggered back two steps, while the Deva Path remained completely unchanged.
This subtle shift made everyone nearby tense up.
Had Ye Ning lost that clash just now?
Yet, in a place none of them could see, at a certain ruin within the Land of Whirlpools, Nagato spat out a mouthful of blood.
Konan, who had been guarding Nagato's side the entire time, immediately showed a trace of worry and called out instinctively.
"Nagato!"
Nagato shook his head, stopping Konan from stepping forward. His expression suddenly became far more solemn.
"To think he can contend with the power of a god!"
Nagato, controlling the Deva Path's body, was somewhat startled. He shook his head inwardly, but pride soon appeared on his face.
This was merely the tip of the iceberg of his power...
Before the true power of a god, you will be unable to resist!
As though she had seen through Nagato's thoughts, Konan looked worriedly at his emaciated body.
"If you use that, your body won't be able to take it, Nagato!"
But Nagato only shook his head stubbornly.
"No. As long as I can eliminate him, it will be worth it! He will definitely become an obstacle to the plan! Only by getting rid of him can the plan proceed smoothly!"
Nagato had that confidence.
As long as Ye Ning was killed, no one in the entire Shinobi World would be able to withstand the power of a god!
Letting Ye Ning go today would be leaving behind the greatest possible threat!
Unlike Mei Terumi and the others, who were worried and shocked, Orochimaru imperceptibly furrowed his brow.
The power of the Rinnegan...
