The crystal-clear " Two-Thorn Spear " clashed with the pure white "paper spear."
The sharp, crystalline spearheads of the " Two-Thorn Spear " pierced through the pristine white paper spear. Under the erosion of the Crystal Release chakra, the white paper spear was instantly stained red and turned into crystal, falling with a thud into the mud formed by the rain.
"I obtained the ' Dance of the Shikigami - Paper Spear Technique,' how could this be...?"
Seeing the paper spear turn into crystal, Nan was stunned and murmured.
"His ninjutsu seems to be able to turn anything it hits into crystal. If you were hit by his ninjutsu, you'd probably end up like these origami pieces. Nan, his ninjutsu has a weakness against you, you need to be careful..."
Nagato calmly analyzed the situation from the south side, pulled out several Shuriken from his ninja pouch and shot them towards Sato Hideaka. Then, his hands began to form Hand Seals rapidly, the two movements flowing smoothly and naturally.
[ Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique ]
The six Shuriken that shot out split into two, then into three, and in the blink of Shuriken, they became eighteen. Like locusts that blot out the sun, they spun high in the air, shooting towards Sato Hideaka with various arc-shaped trajectories.
However, Nagato's hand Hand Seals were not yet complete. He continued to Hand Seals, and after completing the seals again, his palms were filled with a large amount of highly concentrated wind-style chakra. The violent and invisible chakra in his palms was as tangible as it was, forming a ball of blue energy.
[ Wind Style: Gale Palm ]
The compressed wind-style chakra transformed into an endless gale, and the visible, chaotic airflow struck the eighteen Shuriken, causing them to propel them out several times faster, hurtling towards their target at breakneck speed...
Judging from the synergy between Nagato's Shurikenjutsu, Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, and Wind Release Ninjutsu, it's easy to determine that his strength far surpasses that of Yahiko, who is only skilled in Water Release, and Yahiko, who has unleashed the secret technique of Paper Release.
Nagato Uzumaki possesses the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan, and his talent is among the highest.
This is probably one of the reasons why Madara Uchiha chose him.
Sato Hideaka watched the Shuriken with chaotic energy as it rapidly selected its target. He immediately stopped and clasped his hands together with a "snap." Crystal rapidly spread from the point where his hands met, forming a lifelike, light trench coat on his body.
Although the trench coat, formed from Crystal Release chakra, was thin, it was exceptionally sturdy. The Shuriken propelled by the gale only left a few scratches on it, without causing any substantial damage.
However, the gale brought by the " Gale Palm " caused Sato Hideaka's momentum to slow down, but then the green aura on his body surged again, repelling all the surrounding rain, and Sato Hideaka's speed increased again.
The Eight Inner Gates has now opened its Five Gates, the " Gate of Limit "!
At this moment, Sato Hideaka's speed was already difficult for Minami and Yahiko to track. Three Flying Thunder God Crystal Kunai shot out from his right hand in an instant, targeting three individuals: Yahiko, Nagato, and Minami...
Upon seeing the familiar red light, the scene of Sato Hideaka instantly defeating Yahiko seemed to reappear in his mind. Nagato's expression changed, and he immediately took out three Shuriken from his ninja bag and threw them to intercept the three red lights.
The curved Shuriken collided with the three Flying Thunder God Three-Pronged Kunai, creating three dazzling sparks even in the cold, damp rain!
However, the trajectory of the Flying Thunder God Kunai was also altered due to the influence of the Shuriken.
Three Crystal Kunai were plunged into the mud!
"Whatever you do, don't go near those three Crystal Kunai. This guy can use Space-Time Ninjutsu to instantly return to his Kunai. If you go near the Crystal Kunai, you'll definitely be ambushed by his Space-Time Ninjutsu."
After scattering the three Crystal Kunai Nagato Uzumaki, Nagato immediately warned his two companions loudly that if the enemy used this ninjutsu to control the rhythm of the battle, the outcome would become an uncontrollable one-sided battle.
"What... what Space-Time Ninjutsu?" Yahiko was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.
It turns out that the sudden attack wasn't because the opponent was too fast, but because the opponent used the Flying Thunder God Kunai to get to his side in an instant, leaving him no chance to react before being knocked down!
Sato Hideaka's lips curled slightly, and he secretly admired Nagato Uzumaki, one of the later BOSS characters. He actually understood the Flying Thunder God Technique instantly after I used it once...
But this is only a part of my ninjutsu!
Sato Hideaka hand Hand Seals again, and after completing them, his figure multiplied into nine. The nine figures, each in a three-against-one formation, appeared before Yahiko, Nagato, and Minami, leaving the three of them stunned. What kind of ninjutsu was this...?
Yahiko drew his Kunai, warily eyeing the three figures who had formed a triangular formation around him. His expression grave, he asked, " Nagato, what should we do now...?"
"This isn't Shadow Clone Technique, nor Transformation Technique. Judging from the Hand Seals, it should have been Body Flicker Technique, but how could Body Flicker Technique produce so many shadows... Could it be...?" Nagato muttered to himself, calmly analyzing the situation. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head, an idea that even he himself couldn't believe.
Taijutsu, what follows is an unfair Taijutsu contest...
Yahiko, Minami, Nagato faced the fierce Taijutsu that Sato Hideaka had learned during his practice of the Eight Inner Gates. The three figures simultaneously attacked each of them with elbow strikes, side kicks, and hooks. However Sato Hideaka held back somewhat when facing Minami, who was a girl.
However, Yahiko and Nagato, being boys, fared much worse. Facing the relentless attacks from the three figures around them, they were struck in the chest, face, abdomen, and lower back. Yahiko was even hit in both legs by a sweeping kick, losing his balance and falling into the muddy rain again, splashing himself with filthy mud!
Having been punched several times in succession, his cheeks swollen high, Nagato Uzumaki's eyes finally flashed with anger when he saw Yahiko fall into the mud again. He stretched out his right hand forward and shouted, "[ Shinra Tensei ]!"
The ground seemed to stand still, and an irresistible repulsive force suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
Under the influence of this force, Nagato Uzumaki's red head danced in mid-air, all the rainwater around him was repelled, and a huge shockwave rippled outwards, cracking the ground. The three Sato Hideaka surrounding Nagato Uzumaki were instantly shaken, their figures dissipating and disappearing in an instant.
The three figures of Sato Hideaka beside Yahiko also completely dissipated and disappeared.
The two figures of Sato Hideaka beside Nan dissipated and disappeared. Only one of them seemed to have been hit hard. His whole body jolted violently, and he was sent flying backward. His feet landed on the mud, splashing up a lot of dirty water and mud. He slid for more than 20 meters before stopping.
Yahiko crawled out of the mud in a disheveled state, watching Sato Hideaka's fading figure, and said with a wry smile, "That damn guy's figure has finally disappeared. Really... I didn't expect him to have such a ninjutsu. Nagato... Nagato, what's wrong with you?"
Nagato Uzumaki was now consumed by rage, seemingly losing all reason in his fury. His Nagato Uzumaki Rinnegan with divine majesty, his red hair billowing in the air, his figure like a supreme god or demon, his boundless aura like a surging, relentless wave of pressure bearing down on the twenty-meter-tall Sato Hideaka.
"So powerful! As expected of the Rinnegan's power. But it seems Nagato Uzumaki can't perfectly control this power yet, cough cough...!"
Sato Hideaka looked at Nagato Uzumaki, who was staring at him with hostility, and coughed lightly. He secretly analyzed in his heart that the [ Shinra Tensei ] released by Nagato Uzumaki at this moment was not very powerful, but it was precisely this immature [ Shinra Tensei ] that could better reflect the terrifying power of the Rinnegan.
" Nagato, Nagato, what's wrong with you? Wake up... wake up!"
Nan noticed that Nagato's expression seemed a bit off, and quickly prepared to step forward to soothe Nagato. Of the three, Nan appeared to be the most delicate, but in reality, she was strong-willed beneath her gentle exterior. Compared to her, Nagato was more like a sensitive girl who tended to keep many things bottled up inside and found it difficult to understand...
Such a personality is relatively gentle if it doesn't explode, but once it does, it's like a raging storm or the Yellow River overflowing its banks—uncontrollable!
Seeing that Nan was about to approach Nagato Uzumaki, Sato Hideaka quickly shouted, "You girl in purple, don't go near that guy named Nagato! He's lost his composure now and might hurt you..."
Sato Hideaka's deliberately loud voice also attracted Nagato Uzumaki's attention.
Nagato's Nagato Uzumaki was grim and terrifying. After a moment, he roared as if his body was twisted, "Damn it, damn it! How dare you kill my father, kill my mother, and even try to kill Yahiko! You all deserve to die... Konoha's ninjas deserve to die! All of you Konoha's ninjas deserve to die... [ Shinra Tensei ]!"
A powerful repulsive force reappeared between the earth and the ground, this time amplified by emotions, making it ten times stronger than before! (To be continued.)
