"Banshō Ten'in!"
Kushina Uzumaki was caught by the gravitational pull and instantly dragged toward Nagato. He clamped a hand around her neck.
"Get off me!"
Kushina Uzumaki snorted.
Behind her, golden Nine-Tails Chakra appeared, forming two enormous chakra arms.
The two arms came together, then slammed down hard toward Nagato's head.
She had thought that blow would be enough to drive Nagato back.
But the moment the chakra arms came down, they vanished without a trace.
Kushina Uzumaki's pupils abruptly contracted.
"My chakra... it's disappearing!"
"This is... the Preta Path's ability!"
0 ... ...
"You can use all of Pain's abilities!?"
"What's so strange about that?"
Nagato replied calmly.
The right hand gripping Kushina Uzumaki's neck was steadily absorbing her chakra.
More precisely, it was absorbing the Nine-Tails Chakra.
"The Six Paths of Pain are under my control. Of course I can use all their abilities... Why are you surprised?"
As he absorbed the Nine-Tails Chakra, Nagato's once emaciated body began to fill out.
In the blink of an eye, he had gained a strong physique, though his legs remained unchanged.
Nagato smiled.
"So this is the Nine-Tails' chakra... What a fine Tailed Beast!"
As he spoke, two shadows appeared behind him.
They were two enormous Susanoo, poised to attack Nagato.
Seeing this, Konan was about to stop them, but Nagato seemed to know what she was going to do and spoke at once.
"Konan, stand back... I'll deal with them!"
"Shinra Tensei!"
With a boom, a shockwave erupted. The Susanoo were knocked back, but they managed to brace themselves and hold their ground.
Nagato's eyes narrowed slightly.
"As expected of the Mangekyō Sharingan... You actually withstood Shinra Tensei!"
The invisible impact of Shinra Tensei sent all three of them flying.
Thanks to the Nine-Tails Chakra protecting her, Kushina Uzumaki
