Planetary Devastation

Nagato was being chased relentlessly by Tsunade, looking extremely disheveled and panting heavily. He was simultaneously controlling the Six Paths of Pain and fighting Tsunade.

"Several of the spirit birds at our feet have been killed by the Wood Dragon."

Nagato didn't have much affection for his flying summoned birds; when one died, he simply formed hand Hand Seals and summoned another.

However, when Nagato saw Yahiko's clone being blasted apart by Susanoo's lightning rods, his expression changed, and he looked deeply saddened.

Memories of that time flooded back, along with the dreams of his companions, Yahiko's dying words, and the promise he made back then—a promise he couldn't even keep by protecting Konan.

Nagato's face was filled with helplessness and self-blame, then he looked at Tsunade atop the Wood Dragon and said with a frantic expression:

"I've worked so hard for so many years, all to achieve peace in the Shinobi World. My suffering far surpasses yours. Even in this state, I will still carry rice and climb seven floors."

Having said that, Nagato conjured a large black ball with his right hand and tossed it high into the air. Then, with his eyes wide with rage, he shouted, "Chibaku Tensei!"

A round black sphere shot directly into the sky. Once suspended high in the air, it instantly unleashed a tremendous suction force, like a black hole, drawing in anything on the ground.

Tsunade was still sitting atop the Senjutsu: Wood Dragon, watching the black sphere appear directly in front of her. It was generating a black hole-like suction force, and even the soil on the ground was being sucked high into the air.

Tsunade immediately considered retreating, and said with a surprised expression, "The ground is being sucked up! What kind of Ninjutsu is this? I need to get out of under that black sphere!"

Tsunade immediately manipulated the hundred-meter-long Wood Dragon, making a sharp turn in the sky, like Wood Dragon swishing its tail. The huge Wood Dragon's head circled directly to the right, avoiding the very center of the Chibaku Tensei.

Nagato watched as Tsunade abruptly stopped, dodging the front of the Chibaku Tensei and flying towards the other half, beginning to avoid the ever-growing Chibaku Tensei.

Nagato's face darkened slightly again, and he said angrily, "Do you think you can dodge it like this?"

Nagato raised his right hand again, palm facing Tsunade, and shouted, "Banshō Ten'in!"

Nagato planned to pull Tsunade to the Chibaku Tensei, then Tsunade and use her to exchange for Konan with Uchiha Qingcheng, thus fulfilling his final vow.

When Tsunade saw Nagato preparing to use the technique again, her eyes immediately turned cold, and she shouted sternly, "Mystical Strength Technique!"

Tsunade's Senjutsu Chakra surged violently, like a giant tiger unleashing its full power, forcefully resisting Nagato's Banshō Ten'in with her Mystical Strength Technique.

Meanwhile, Shouhon Yihan, Bai Hayakumo Sōma, Qianshou Senju Taoyuan, and Kumo-ma, among others, watched as a gigantic black sphere appeared in the sky, frantically devouring the land below and sucking countless acres of land into the air. In just a moment, it formed a massive sphere high in the sky.

Shouhon Yihan said with a serious expression, "It's bad, everyone get out of here quickly! If you get sucked in by this Chibaku Tensei, you'll be sealed inside and never be able to get out again!"

Hayakumo Sōma realized what was happening, shook his head, and said with a serious expression.

"Let's all attack together, targeting the very center of the black sphere on the ground. Let's send our strongest Ninjutsu under the black sphere and destroy this Chibaku Tensei!"

Senju Taoyuan immediately spoke up, "Faced with such Ninjutsu, I also want to use my own power. I refuse to believe that my Storm Release can't defeat his Chibaku Tensei!"

Seeing the other department heads starting to Hand Seals, Shouhon Yihan wasn't willing to fall behind. She thought to herself, "As Hachiko, the loyal dog of the Fifth Hokage, I'm the Greed Tiger of Konoha. The shady dealings I can amass in a year easily exceed 20 billion Ryo. If the Hokage sees me running away, will he go berserk again?"

Then Shouhon Yihan said with a puzzled look, "I don't understand why the Hokage likes money so much. A funeral company, a milk powder factory, and a fresh milk factory each earn hundreds of Silver Coin a year, so why does he like to impose fines? He even confiscated Kakashi's 'Icha Icha Paradise' (a fictional location Assistant Hokage)."

Hayakumo Sōma, immediately forming hand Hand Seals with both hands, completing four seals in a single second, and then shouted, "Storm Release: Vortex Storm Dragon Biting Explosion!"

Following Baiyun Senju Taoyuan Hayakumo Sōma formed four hand seals and shouted, "Storm Release: Lightning Dragon: Gate of Shocking Light!"

Shouhon Yihan also shouted, "Storm Release: Super Lightning Light Wave!"

Kumo-ma was even more direct, raising his hand and Lightning Release: Super Lightning Explosion Bullet!"

A large group of Konoha Ninja unleashed a barrage of Ninjutsu into the sky, and in just a few moments, the Chibaku Tensei was covered in a massive amount of lightning, with countless lightning dragons crashing into the sphere.

A flash of white light appeared, followed by deafening roars from the sky. The Chibaku Tensei was instantly destroyed, and even Kitsuchi fell from the sky.

Nagato stared at his Chibaku Tensei, which vanished into nothingness in an instant. His face was filled with deep resentment and anger as he declared, "When I come back next time, I'm going to go to Konoha and carry rice!"

Just then,

Qingcheng, already in Susanoo, arrived behind Nagato and said with a serious expression, "Nagato, you still want to go to Konoha to carry rice? It seems you haven't realized how powerful Konoha is."

Nagato Susanoo, his face expressionless, only his Rinnegan in disbelief.

He snorted coldly and said, "Uchiha Qingcheng, you're too smug. I will make you feel pain. I am the god of this world."

Qingcheng used his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to look at Nagato's legs and discovered that, with the support of Hashirama Cells, his legs had begun to increase their Chakra levels. Furthermore, his body was filled with a vibrant aura, indicating that his body had essentially fused with the First Hokage's Cells.

Qingcheng then looked at Nagato's Rinnegan. Thanks to the Hashirama Cells, its ocular power was enhanced. Although these weren't his own eyes, his body possessed Hashirama Cells, which could slow down the consumption of the Rinnegan.

Qingcheng then looked at Tsunade and said with a serious expression, "What are you doing? Why did you help him fuse with Hashirama Cells? Did you take money from Nagato? You're Konoha Ninja, yet you have no Will of Fire at all and are even colluding with the enemy on the battlefield. This is an extremely dangerous enemy."

Immediately afterwards,

Qingcheng then turned to Tsunade with a stern expression and said, "As the Hokage, I must punish you severely. From now on, I must rest one day a week from Monday to Sunday."
