Although he was surrounded, Uchiha Shunichi felt no danger. He continued preparing his Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
While using Lightning Transformation, Uchiha Shunichi needed no hand seals for any of his Lightning Release Ninjutsu. He could also freely alter their effects, power, and form according to his wishes...
Nagato had absorbed the Lightning Spear hurled at him earlier outright! The Rinnegan could absorb ninjutsu, so techniques without natural energy added to them were unlikely to work on him.
That was why Uchiha Shunichi was now preparing to add senjutsu chakra to his Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
Although Uchiha Shunichi had activated Sage Mode earlier, he had only used it to strengthen his lightning-transformed body.
But before he could finish preparing, Nagato came under attack from the Five Kage.
This was the Five Kage Summit, after all. Nagato had previously used the Six Paths of Pain to keep the Five Kage occupied, but when he summoned the Six Paths of Pain over, the Five Kage naturally followed.
They were the Kage of the Five Great Villages, representing each village's greatest fighting strength. Nagato dared not underestimate them as they approached and hurried to Konan's side.
"This time... was merely an announcement!" As Nagato spoke, Uchiha Obito's distorted space appeared once more, and Nagato and Konan abruptly vanished.
Ever since Nagato's body had recovered, his cooperation with Uchiha Obito had become much closer, as though the distrust between them had disappeared.
In truth, however, there had never been any trust between them. To Nagato, Uchiha Obito was a tool to be used, and Uchiha Obito viewed him the same way.
As for why Uchiha Obito had intervened... it was simple. He could not abandon a fighter as powerful as Nagato, and... he could not allow the Rinnegan to fall into anyone else's hands.
