Beaten to Near Death by Basic Attacks

Throughout their journey, Fugaku was the only one who didn't evoke any inexplicable feelings of dislike in Nagato.

However, with his Rinnegan, Nagato easily noticed the discord.

Fugaku's disguise not only involved the cognitive biases caused by his Mangekyo Sharingan Dōjutsu, but also included the use of basic Transformation Technique.

Cognitive bias had no effect on Nagato, and his Transformation Technique was easily seen through.

Nagato didn't recognize Fugaku and had no idea who this middle-aged man was.

It was useless after all!

Fugaku stopped pretending and reverted to his original appearance, his crimson Mangekyō Sharingan still exuding an eerie aura.

Facing Nagato directly, Fugaku noticed the immense pressure emanating from his eyes, which were hidden by his long hair.

His feelings were deeper than others, since what flowed within Fugaku's body was still Chakra, not true essence.

The Uchiha Clan clansman and Tongren Hyuga only sensed the power of Nagato's Rinnegan, but when Fugaku faced Nagato directly, he felt a real sense of suppression.

It's like a lower organism facing a higher organism.

The Chakra present in Fugaku's body is also the reason why Nagato did not develop any unfounded aversion towards Fugaku.

After restoring it to its original state, Fugaku asked a question.

"My name is Fugaku Uchiha. May I ask what business Mr. Nagato has with the Lord Hokage?"

Even now, Fugaku is still worried that Ren has other plans for Nagato, and is unwilling to directly confront him, wanting to find out Nagato's intentions.

Konoha's handling of the situation gave Nagato a misconception.

Uchiha Yushu was afraid; he was afraid of him, so he avoided seeing him!

"Of course, it's to defeat him. Tell me, where is Uchiha Yushu?"

Nagato's misjudgment led him to confront the truth directly and stop pretending.

Fugaku didn't believe Nagato's words. Why would anyone come to Konoha to find Ren for such a ridiculous reason?

"Mr. Nagato, please state the purpose of your visit!"

As Fugaku spoke again, he secretly made a hand gesture, and a group of Konoha Ninja surrounded the hut.

The ninjas, whom Nagato loathed, made no attempt to conceal their presence, openly releasing their auras and surrounding Nagato.

Knowing that Ren still hadn't appeared, Nagato had already made his choice.

Uchiha Yushu is nothing to fear. From this day forward, I will lead the Shinobi World. The plan to capture the Tailed Beast will begin immediately.

These Konoha Ninja are all going to die anyway, so let's finish them off today.

After that, I'll also take control of the Six-Tails and Nine-Tails.

Nagato's mind raced, and in a moment she had completely designed the script. Hmm, the plan worked.

Without any hesitation, Nagato's aura changed, and he no longer deliberately suppressed his chuunibyou (delusional) spirit.

"The transformation of the Shinobi World begins at this moment, and you, Konoha, are honored to be the first to feel the pain!"

After deciding that Ren was insignificant, Nagato began to scoff at Ren's previous remarks.

Although Nagato's plan was conceived after he imagined Ren's purpose, Ren's influence on Nagato had already become negligible.

In the Shinobi World, "talk-no-jutsu" will always just be a meme.

Strength is everything. If you want others to hear and agree with what you say, the only prerequisite is to have the power to make others listen to you.

Nagato, who no longer regards Ren, has grown tired of old grudges and new hatreds, and has lost all patience with Konoha. The Nagato who used to carry rice everywhere is back!

Nagato, whose chuunibyou spirit was burning ever brighter, was seen by Fugaku only as ever-increasing hostility.

Without further hesitation, Fugaku issued the order directly.

"Do it!"

Fugaku naturally had no intention of taking the blame and letting Fugaku die.

Being closest to Nagato, he initiated with a basic attack.

[Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!]

With his Nagato spirit fully ignited, Nagato had no more scruples. As his aura surged, his long gray hair danced in the wind, and his Rinnegan, which had been concealed, appeared in Fugaku's eyes without any hindrance.

The wooden house had completely shattered. Fire Style, Wind Release, Water Release, Lightning Release, and Earth Release pierced through the thin wooden planks and attacked Nagato.

"He has the Rinnegan! The Sage of Six Paths has descended once more! Gentlemen, fight to the death!"

Rasa has returned. During those ten brief seconds when the Sage of Six Paths descended upon the Shinobi World, Konoha had already learned all the details of the battle.

This includes the Rinnegan that was filled with pale purple ripples at the time.

Fugaku's roar reached the ears of everyone present, and the ninjas outside abandoned their probing attempts and began to change their tactics.

[Fire Style: Dragon Flame Technique!]

[Fire Style: Heaven-Burning!]

[Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!]

[The Shadow Sewing Technique!]

[Butterfly Bullet Bombardment!]

[Secret Technique: Insect Sphere!]

As everyone began their second attack, the first wave of probing basic attacks reached Nagato, arriving Nagato in front of him.

Leading the charge was Fugaku's Great Fireball Technique, Nagato expressionlessly extended his right hand, an invisible membrane of light covering his Nagato.

[Rinnegan - Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal!]

As expected, Fugaku's Great Fireball Technique failed to achieve any effect. Nagato watched indifferently as the ninjutsu attacks continued to be launched at him, attempting to shatter the confidence of the Konoha Ninja.

However, the reality check came faster than expected.

Nagato, brimming with confidence, assumed that the other ninjutsu would be just as easily countered by the Rinnegan as Fugaku's Great Fireball Technique.

But Nagato didn't understand that those Konoha Ninja he loathed didn't have Chakra flowing through their bodies, but true essence!

Each version has its own meta.

Konoha Ninja's ninja techniques: Your version 1.0 cheat is now obsolete in version 2.0!

The consequences of over-reliance on cheats and neglecting one's own skills are obvious.

Nagato decisively entered a critically injured and near-death phase.
