Nagato on the Run

Behind Nagato, a swarm of Qingcheng Shadow Clones were relentlessly stabbing Nagato with Flying Thunder God Technique and Flying Thunder God Kunai Shadow Clone.

There was even a large group of Shadow Clones, using Purple Electricity far exceeding Ninjutsu —pure Lightning Spears and Purple Electricity Senbon —attacking Nagato relentlessly.

Every time, he accurately predicted Nagato's movements. In an instant, the ground was riddled with craters and explosions from a barrage of Purple Electricity Ninjutsu.

With a rumble, a thick cloud of black smoke rose into the sky again.

The already devastated Amegakure was reduced to scorched earth and billowing black smoke ruins by this attack—perfect for carrying rice.

Qingcheng hid in the Yomi Space, watching Nagato continuously unleash the power of the Nagato Preta Path, absorbing Ninjutsu with one hand and releasing Wind Release with the other, scattering Kunai in the sky.

Qingcheng thought to himself, "The Rinnegan is really hard to kill. Not only can it use gravity to fly, but it's also quite fast. It's holding onto Shinra Tensei, just waiting for me to get close so it can use its skill to knock me away."

Just then, Nagato formed hand seals and shouted, "Reverse Summoning Jutsu!"

Seeing Nagato attempt to escape using Reverse Summoning Jutsu, Qingcheng immediately shouted, "Yomotsu Hirasaka!"

A black spatial rift, like a teleportation portal, appeared directly behind Nagato.

Qingcheng flashed out directly from the spatial rift, his entire body crackling with explosive lightning, like a ball of azure lightning, moving at the speed of light, his figure invisible to the naked eye.

Qingcheng appeared behind Nagato and attacked at lightning speed. While Nagato was still forming Nagato, Aoki shouted again, "Hell Stab- One-Finger Nukite!"

Qingcheng's index finger, sharp as a thunder spear, covered in lightning, stabbed straight at Nagato.

Nagato noticed the commotion behind him immediately, quickly turning his head to see Qingcheng attacking him with lightning speed, and he was startled once more.

He thought to himself, "This is bad. This guy's Dōjutsu is incredibly unpredictable; he can even teleport. I have to defeat him before I can use the Reverse Summoning Jutsu."

Nagato immediately stopped forming hand seals, abruptly raised his hands, and unleashed the full power of his Rinnegan, decisively shouting, "Super Shinra Tensei!"

"Ah!" Nagato spread his arms wide and unleashed the full Shinra Tensei, releasing a hurricane-like repulsive force centered on himself, like a super shockwave.

With a deafening roar, Qingcheng, seeing Nagato, went all out, unleashing the full power of Shinra Tensei. A hurricane-like force appeared before him, whipping up hundreds of meters of Kitsuchi from the ground.

Qingcheng halted his charge, steadied himself in mid-air, and looked at the Nagato two meters away, flying away like a cooked duck.

Qingcheng immediately crossed his arms to defend against the hurricane-like repulsive force, but soon he felt his body losing its balance in the air and about to be blown away by the wind again.

With a deafening roar, a tremendous repulsive force, like a shockwave, sent Qingcheng flying. His body spun like a top in mid-air, completing seven or eight rotations.

Nagato watched as Uchiha Qingcheng was sent flying, and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "That was really tough. This guy is even more troublesome than a hyena. Not only does he possess Space Dojutsu, but he also has the Flying Thunder God Technique, and he has an incredibly strong physique, even more resilient than Tailed Beast."

After Nagato used the maximum power of Shinra Tensei, his face was covered in cold sweat, and he was panting heavily, having used up most of his Chakra.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh, whoosh whoosh whoosh,"

Nagato knew this was no place to linger; Uchiha Qingcheng would be arriving soon, and Tsunade was already close behind in the sky. He immediately raised his hands, shouted, "Reverse Summoning Jutsu!"

With a whoosh, Nagato vanished into the ruins of Amegakure like a phantom.

After Nagato disappeared,

Another bolt of lightning flashed to the spot where he had disappeared. Qingcheng, watching Nagato vanish without a trace, shouted angrily, "I was one second away from killing you! I didn't expect you to be even faster at running than Obito. He used Kamui Dimension to escape, and you used Reverse Summoning Jutsu. You're both better at running than each other!"

"Once I upgrade my Rinnegan, let's see where you two can run. I'll definitely get you both," Qingcheng complained again with a regretful expression.

He then stood there, pondering where Nagato and Obito would go after the Land of Rain was destroyed. They probably wouldn't dare retaliate against Konoha for the time being.

Just then, Qingcheng thought of another place: the Land of Grass, the base of the Old Man with the blemishes, where there was an army of 100,000 White Zetsu. This time, Nagato had even summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which was meant to support the White Zetsu. Obito must have fled there too, and he had even marked himself with the Flying Thunder God Mark.

Thinking of this, Qingcheng's thoughts became complicated. He turned to look at Tsunade, who was flying over, and said with a serious expression:

"Big Fat Sheep, I'm going to the Land of Grass. There's another base of Obito there. Today I'm going to capture this guy and kill him cruelly and mercilessly."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade scratched her forehead, looking thoughtful, and then said with a serious expression:

"What time are you coming home tonight? I don't want to wait alone for too long; I'm very suspicious of your motives."

Seeing how troublesome Tsunade, Qingcheng immediately shook his head and said with a serious expression, "I'll use the Flying Thunder God Technique to go there and return quickly. I should be back by the afternoon at the latest."

Just then, on the other side of the battlefield, Kogane Sōsuke shouted, "Hokage -sama, we found an S-rank Ninjutsu scroll on Kakuzu's body!"

Several members of the Fat Water Squad were cheering and jumping up, shouting, "Hokage -sama, we found S-rank Ninjutsu on Kakuzu! We have S-rank Ninjutsu!"

The members of the Fat Water Squad, fearing Qingcheng wouldn't hear, shouted louder and louder, "Hokage -sama, S-rank Ninjutsu! Kakuzu possesses S-rank Ninjutsu! We've found S-rank Ninjutsu!"

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng raised an eyebrow again, glancing at the cheering Fat Water team members on the other side. He was overjoyed and exclaimed excitedly, "Kakuzu actually possesses S-rank Ninjutsu! That old codger actually has S-rank Ninjutsu!"

Qingcheng thought to himself, "Back then, I impersonated Uchiha Shimada and robbed Kakuzu of everything, even leaving him a Yomi Hira kunai. He has S-rank ninjutsu, so why didn't he call me? Is money not attractive to him? Or does he not want to improve anymore? I need to put some pressure on him."
