This is a power beyond the imagination of ordinary people; this is a power that surpasses ordinary ninjutsu!
Centered on Nagato Uzumaki's body, a tremendous repulsive force was instantly generated, pushing away countless raindrops, mud, and even air, creating huge spherical craters beneath his feet.
Nan had already been blasted a hundred meters away by the immense force. In mid-air, she used oiled paper to form a pair of pure white wings, struggling to control the turbulent airflow around her to maintain her balance, while also constantly fending off rocks, mud, and other objects propelled by the immense repulsive force of [ Shinra Tensei ]...
Yahiko had already been thrown into the mud, submerged by the repulsive force pushing him forward. The muddy silt even formed layers of waves, propelling him nearly a hundred meters. The repulsive force had struck his body, injuring his lungs and causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood...
The surrounding mud and sewage were instantly stained bright red!
In that instant, Minami Yahiko lost their ability to fight. At this moment, Nagato Uzumaki, who had lost his mind, even activated an indiscriminate attack mode. His 6° [ Shinra Tensei ], with no blind spots, injured both of his best friends who had shared life and death.
However, Sato Hideaka was not knocked away; his figure had completely disappeared.
In this dimly lit space shrouded in dark clouds, a dazzling golden light appeared beside Nagato Uzumaki. This light even connected to the spot where Sato Hideaka been standing, as if linking the two places together!
This is... the trail of light from [ Light Release: Yata Mirror ]!
The light and shadow gradually solidified, revealing the image of Sato Hideaka. His right fist lashed out, striking Nagato Uzumaki's swollen cheek once and again. The immense force sent Nagato flying backward, sliding more than twenty meters through the mud before finally coming to a stop.
The Light Release, Kekkei Genkai combining lightning and fire, borrows from the [ Yata Mirror ] technique of Kizaru, one of the three admirals of the Navy in One Piece. It creates a golden photon trajectory in the air, then synchronizes the frequency of the body's Light Release chakra with the frequency of the photon trajectory...
Under such circumstances, humans could achieve instantaneous movement, similar to Space-Time Ninjutsu!
Of course, one of the reasons that this effect can be achieved is that although the repulsive force of [ Shinra Tensei ] can temporarily repel rocks, mud, rainwater, and even air, it cannot repel light. Light can freely pass through the domain of [ Shinra Tensei ].
So, no ninjutsu is perfect after all...
Sato Hideaka looked at his right fist. In the rainy atmosphere of the Land of Rain, the power of Lava Release was reduced by at least 30%. This was one of the reasons why he had been fighting using Crystal Release ninjutsu. At this time, Crystal Release and Light Release became his main fighting methods.
"Damn it... You killed Dad, you killed Mom, and now you want to kill me? I'll never forgive you, you damned bastard!"
Nagato, half-covered in filth and mud, Nagato Uzumaki crawled out of the mud pit, his face contorted and veins bulging as he roared at Sato Hideaka, as if he wanted to vent all his resentment and anger at once.
" Nagato, Nagato... wake up!" Nan struggled to prop herself up, her voice trembling with tears. She had never seen Nagato so terrifying—his expression, his power, his aura, and his eerie, horrifying eyes.
Within the purple eyes, the black, cyclical patterns seemed to begin to rotate...
At this moment, Nagato Uzumaki was exuding an astonishing and terrifying aura!
"Damn it, damn it..."
Yahiko, stuck in the mud, tried to get up, but the heavy blow he had just received had seriously injured him. He was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to crawl out of the mud. He could only keep pounding the mud and crying out in frustration.
At this moment, Yahiko began to understand what Sato Hideaka meant. Faced with overwhelming power, he was powerless to resist and could not make a decision with a great power like the Land of Rain. Akatsuki was still a weak organization and did not yet possess the power to speak.
The immense destructive power and momentum caused by [ Shinra Tensei ] drew the attention of the twelve Akatsuki ninjas who had been diverted by Sato Hideaka, who rushed through the rain. Upon witnessing the scene before them, they couldn't help but gasp in shock:
"What happened? What's going on? Boss Yahiko, did you get into a conflict with that Konoha Ninja? What's going on? Is that Konoha Ninja hostile towards us?"
"Boss Yahiko, are you alright...? Hiss, what is this? It caused such massive destruction, it's terrifying...? That huge crater at Nagato's feet... was it caused by a ninjutsu? It's terrifying..."
"Nagato... something seems off about Nagato... what's wrong with him...? He... he's actually floating! Am I seeing things? How can Nagato have such a powerful aura... and he's actually floating in mid-air?"
As if supported by an unseen force, Nagato Uzumaki's toes left the muddy ground, and he slowly floated upwards, hovering in mid-air. He glared at the people around him and roared angrily, "It was you! You killed Dad! You killed Mom! You all deserve to die! You all deserve to die!"
Nagato Uzumaki in the air, his hands placed in front of him, like a god worshipped by thousands.
A jet-black mist appeared in his palm, and the Rinnegan seemed to spin eerily.
This is an attraction!
With Nagato Uzumaki as the origin, everything around him seemed to be frantically drawn towards it. The black mist seemed to devour everything, and the surrounding air was severely distorted. The twelve Akatsuki members, Sato Hideaka's body, the injured Yahiko and Minami, countless bits of soil, trees, grass, mud, and all sorts of tangible objects...
Even the light seemed to be drawn towards its body!
Drawn to this invisible force Sato Hideaka's face turned grim. He felt powerless to resist and the feeling of being manipulated at will was extremely unpleasant. His hands began to emit a scorching aura, and molten lava surged within his arms.
The surrounding air was fiery red, and the rain was evaporated by the heat, forming a huge fog in the air!
[ Lava Release - Great Eruption ]
Sato Hideaka brought his arms together in front of him, and a massive Rock Fist, as huge as a mountain, slammed into the Nagato Uzumaki in mid-air. The half-gray sky was dyed fiery red, and the dark clouds above turned into burning clouds in everyone's eyes.
The scorching heat evaporated all the surrounding rainwater, and everyone felt waves of heat washing over them. The enormous Magma Fist looked like a human hitting an ant with their own fist, creating a stark contrast that made the scene exceptionally grand and awe-inspiring!
Bansho Ten'in, Nan looked at the half of the Magma Fist, now ablaze with fiery red, and felt the scorching heat rushing towards him. He cried out in disbelief, "No! Nagato! It's over! Nagato's going to die... What do we do?"
Later, Nan even closed her eyes, unable to bear watching the ending!
Yahiko was also shocked by what he saw. Such an attack was something even Hanzo the Salamander couldn't have unleashed. Faced with an attack more powerful than a demigod, Nagato... could Nagato handle it? He stared at the Nagato Uzumaki of Nagato in mid-air, his aura like that of a god or demon, and those eerie eyes...
A resolute voice seemed to resonate within Yahiko's heart: this good friend, who had always been able to use his special power to save them from danger, would surely be able to use his special power again to stop this attack that was as devastating as a volcanic eruption.
As expected, the black mist gradually faded from Nagato's outstretched Nagato Uzumaki, and he abandoned the Bansho Ten'in.
Then, he placed his slender right hand in front of him!
A gigantic magma fist, as large as a mountain peak, and a slender, weak right hand collided violently. Under the white light emanating from Nagato Uzumaki's right hand, the massive Magma Fist continuously contracted, contracted, contracted, until it was completely absorbed by Nagato Uzumaki's right hand and vanished without a trace...
[ Preta Path - Blocking Technique Absorption Seal ]
It reverses the chakra circulation within the body, transforming ninjutsu into primal chakra, which is then completely absorbed into the body until the opponent's ninjutsu attack is utterly disintegrated. This is a nearly unsolvable ninjutsu!
Now, this moment seems to be the opportunity.
Sato Hideaka placed his hands on his chest, forming a mirror that shimmered with dazzling golden light. A golden streak of light shot directly to Nagato Uzumaki's side, and the frequency of his chakra changed, almost perfectly matching the frequency of this golden streak...
At this moment, Sato Hideaka transformed into a golden light and shadow, seemingly a godlike phantom. (To be continued.)
