Outside Konoha, within a deep underground space, the surroundings were all hard rock walls. Strings of water droplets hung from the walls, leaving the entire underground space somewhat damp.
Nagato, so weak he was little more than skin and bones, was hiding here, controlling the newly recreated Six Paths of Pain.
However, Nagato's expression was rather grim at that moment.
Through the Deva Path's vision, Nagato took in everything happening within Konoha.
All the Akatsuki members had been stopped.
A faint sense of alarm rose in Nagato's heart.
Before coming here, he had already tried to overestimate Konoha's overall strength as much as possible, yet he had still underestimated it in the end.
So many Kage-level powerhouses... If Ye Ning were here, the Tailed Beast capture plan... would be nothing but empty talk!
But Nagato's expression soon hardened once more.
Though he could gain no advantage when facing Ye Ning... Konoha's insignificant people were nothing more than ants!
No one could resist the power of a god!
A village like this was bound to create obstacle after obstacle for their plan...
In that case, destroy it all!
Nagato's gaze sharpened, and the Rinnegan within his eye sockets suddenly erupted with an incomparably terrifying ocular power.
That ocular power made the deep underground space shake violently. Like an earthquake, the entire mountain seemed on the verge of collapse.
At the same time, terrifying ocular power blossomed from the Deva Path's eyes.
Chibaku Tensei!
In the original story, Nagato had used Chibaku Tensei to capture Naruto, incidentally destroying all of Konoha in the process.
But this time, Nagato had come specifically to destroy Konoha!
An inconspicuous black sphere slowly floated into the sky.
An indescribably vast force spread outward from the center of that black sphere.
