A Truly Exhilarating Battle
As Pain raised his hands and unleashed Shinra Tensei, a tremendous repulsive force erupted from Pain body. This force, like a hurricane, spread violently in all directions, and with a deafening roar, it directly struck Susanoo's greatsword.
The golden Susanoo sword was directly split open by the immense repulsive force; even the hundred-meter- Susanoo was repelled by the massive, storm-like repulsive force.
Qingcheng watched as even his Susanoo n't withstand the repulsive force, tumbling several times in the air before regaining its balance. He then amplified the power of his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, controlling Susanoo and wielding his giant sword as he continued his assault on Pain in the sky.
Tsunade was also startled by the destructive power of Shinra Tensei Pain, watching the massive whirlwind surrounding Pain, like a shockwave, even uprooting hundreds of meters of soil from the ground.
Tsunade then said with a serious expression, "The weakness is Nagato's true form. He hasn't yet utilized Hashirama Cells, so we should finish him off quickly."
After saying that, Tsunade immediately formed hand seals, slammed her hands together, and shouted, "Sage Mode!"
Two patterns appeared on Tsunade's face, just below her eyes, Chakra within her body! Like an inflating balloon, her body was being infused with immense Senjutsu energy.
Tsunade's entire body was enveloped in azure Chakra. This massive amount of Chakra, like a blue cloak, gathered directly around Tsunade's body.
Standing atop the summoning bird, Nagato saw Tsunade gather a massive amount of Chakra and said with a serious expression, "Sage Mode again? I didn't expect even you to have mastered Sage Mode. As expected of Tsunade Legendary Sannin."
Nagato watched as Tsunade, riding a giant Wood Dragon, charged directly towards him. He then said with a solemn expression, "I didn't expect you two to fight me one-on-one. But I am a god. My pain is far greater than yours. Feel the pain! Understand the pain!"
Nagato then waved his right hand and shouted, "Banshō Ten'in!"
Immediately afterward, Nagato aimed his right hand at Tsunade atop the Wood Dragon. A tremendous suction force pulled Tsunade, and even the flying Wood Dragon Banshō Ten'in, its body trembling violently as it flew directly towards Nagato.
Tsunade also felt her body and the Wood Dragon starting to spiral out of control, so she immediately used her Mystical Strength Technique. With the power of Senjutsu energy, she broke free from the Banshō Ten'in with a thud.
Seeing that she had broken free from the gravitational pull, Tsunade immediately formed hand seals, clapped her hands together, and shouted, "Sage Art: Wood Release: Twin-Layer Wood Dragon Technique!"
As Tsunade finished speaking, the ground began to tremble. With two rumbling sounds, two more Wood Dragons appeared. Empowered by Senjutsu Chakra, these Wood Dragons not only reached a hundred meters in length, but also resembled Wood Dragons even more. They had even lost their long noses, which had been replaced by gaping, ferocious mouths.
The Wood Dragon, enhanced with Senjutsu Chakra, not only flew faster but could also spit out wooden spikes from its mouth, similar to the Wood Release Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs Jutsu.
Two enlarged Wood Dragons soared into the air, heading straight for Nagato was suspended in mid-air.
Seeing that after Nagato used the power of the Rinnegan, the power of the Six Paths of Pain weakened, and even their speed slowed down, Qingcheng then turned Qingcheng Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan's gaze to the Preta Path and the Naraka Path clones.
Qingcheng was well aware that these two Six Paths clones possessed incredibly powerful abilities. One could absorb others' Chakra and Ninjutsu, while the other, the Naraka Path, could repair other Six Paths clones. "If we don't deal with these Six Paths first, the rest will be difficult to kill,"
The Six Paths clones flying in the sky moved much slower under the gaze of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Qingcheng stared directly at the Animal Path, then activated the Dōjutsu of his right eye and shouted, "Divine Army!"
While still flying through the sky, Naraka Path was trying to find the weakness of Susanoo, but suddenly his body was swallowed up by a huge spatial rift, and shattered with a crackling sound as if space itself was vibrating.
The remaining Six Paths of Pain all Rinnegan, sharing the same vision. Seeing the sudden spatial rift, they instantly shattered the Naraka Path clone, and even the other Six Paths clones didn't have time to react.
Nagato was also quite surprised, seeing that one of his Six Paths clones had been shattered, and it was even the Naraka Path. He then said with a look of astonishment, "It seems you have all the information about me."
Tsunade was already standing atop the Wood Dragon of the Senjutsu. Tsunade had abandoned the long-nosed Wood Dragon, but it would still automatically attack Nagato's summoning birds, as if on autopilot.
Adding to the Senjutsu of the Wood Dragon, it would open its mouth and fire a barrage of wooden spikes at Nagato, like a machine gun, unleashing a hail of wooden spikes with every spit, aimed straight at Nagato.
Tsunade was still closing the distance with Nagato, mentally calculating how much longer it would take him to use Shinra Tensei again. Qingcheng had previously mentioned that Shinra Tensei had a five-second cooldown, and each use left a gap in cooldown, which was the perfect opportunity to kill Uzumaki Nagato.
So Tsunade was also controlling two Senjutsu dragons, constantly attacking Nagato, trying to force out his Shinra Tensei so she could get close and attack him."
Nagato, facing tons of wood -Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs Jutsu, dared not be careless. Being struck by such splinters would be fatal. These splinters were three meters long, sharp as spears, and extremely destructive. Because they contained Senjutsu Chakra, they were incredibly tough; ordinary Ninjutsu simply couldn't stop Ninjutsu.
Therefore, Nagato controlled his right hand, transforming it into the Asura Path 'Asura Path weapon cannon and Laser Cannon, directly firing a large number of missiles and Laser Cannon to attack the wooden spikes. At the same time, he controlled the summoning birds to dodge into the sky.
If Nagato were facing a one-on-one situation, he wouldn't be easily defeated. However, facing two opponents, he was already in grave danger. Through the sharing ability of the Rinnegan, Nagato discovered that his Preta Path clone had also been shattered by Uchiha Qingcheng. It was shattered by the same incredibly powerful spatial rift Dōjutsu as before, turning into fragments that fell to the ground from the sky.
Nagato said with a grim expression, "These damned Konoha Ninjas, why do they like to gang up on the weak? Two against one, it's just not fair."
When Nagato said those words, he looked at the other Akatsuki members, at Konan being chased by thousands of people in the air, at Hidan being beaten by more than a thousand people, and especially at Uchiha Itachi, who was being beaten by a group of people in Lightning Armor, and was being attacked the most fiercely.
Nagato was speechless. He couldn't utter a single word about how unfair it was to fight two against one, because the Akatsuki members were each fighting against over two thousand people, even Konan, who seemed to be a model student.
Shouhon Yihan, accompanied by a group of Police Force and clad in Lightning Armor, walked directly up to Hidan and brutally beat Hidan with her lightning fists.
Hidan's scythe was reduced to fragments, which were being handled and played with by several Police Force. One of the Police Force, a rather chubby-faced one, remarked, "What kind of trash is this scythe? Minister Zhang, one Storm Release Ninjutsu and it cut him in two. It's not sturdy at all."
Another member of the Police Force, looking at Hidan lying on the ground being brutally stomped on by Shouhon Yihan, said excitedly, "What a thrilling battle!"
