Preta Path-Even If You Can Swallow It, You'll Have to Spit It Back Out
The sonic boom high in the sky made the ground tremble.
The sealing zone on the edge of Uzumaki New Residence in Hidden Leaf's West Street.
The rain here falls harder than elsewhere, but it's all being torn apart by a strange suction force.
Preta Path Pain, stood directly in front of the array's core, his arms outstretched, two fist-sized transparent Uzumaki forming in his palms. The pale blue barrier around him was transforming into strands of pure Chakra, continuously flowing into his body.
"What kind of monster is this?!" Karin bit her thumb, her red hair whipping wildly in the wind. She stared at the rapidly dimming runes on the sealing tower, jumping up and down in panic. "The barrier energy is draining away like crazy! If it keeps absorbing like this without any restraint, in half a minute, at most half a minute! The newly built sealing base will be ruined!"
Before the tower, a figure in white, dressed in simple white robes, stood tall and straight, blocking the Preta Path and the center of the formation.
His face, so exquisitely handsome that it would make any woman jealous, showed no emotion; he simply Hand Seals.
"Ice Release: Extreme Cold Ice Spear!"
The water on the ground instantly flowed backward, condensing into more than a dozen thick ice spikes, each as thick as a thigh, piercing the vital points of the Preta Path's body with a piercing sound.
Faced with an attack of this level, the Preta Path didn't even raise an eyelid. He neither dodged nor evaded, but simply aimed the Uzumaki in his right hand at the incoming ice spear.
Laugh--
The moment the ice spear touched the palm of the Preta Path, it disintegrated into the most primordial Chakra, like a snowflake falling into lava, and was swallowed up by him in one gulp.
Moreover, the extremely cold Ice Release Chakra did not disappear; instead, it spread along the arm of the Preta Path and condensed into a thick layer of frost armor on his body.
"He's diverting my Chakra for his own use." Haku's voice was icy cold, and his eyes revealed a hint of seriousness.
"I'll use the Adamantine Sealing Chains to blast him!" Karin clasped her hands together, and golden Chakra Chains faintly emerged from her back.
"Step back and guard the core of the formation." Bai raised his hand to stop her, his tone leaving no room for doubt. "Our master said that everyone has their own role. Save your Chakra to maintain the barrier. Leave this guy who only knows how to beg for food to me."
Bai took a deep breath and suddenly changed the hand seal.
"Ice Release: Modified Thousand Flying Water Needles!"
The torrential rain suddenly froze. Countless water droplets compressed wildly in mid-air, transforming into hundreds of thin, almost invisible ice needles. This was not a large-scale bombardment, but a point-to-point assassination that concentrated the power of extreme cold to its extreme.
Go!
The ice needles, like a torrential rain of pear blossoms, rained down upon the Preta Path.
These ice needles were clearly visible in the Rinnegan's field of vision. The Preta Path was expressionless, even spreading its arms wide in an extremely mocking gesture of opening its chest.
Accept it all.
Hundreds of ice needles pierced the palms and chest of the Preta Path without even causing a ripple.
"Are you crazy?!" Karin stomped her feet in anger, pointing at Shiro and yelling, "You knew he could do drugs, and you still brought him food? Did you think he was here to eat at a buffet?!"
Haku ignored Karin's tantrums and stared intently at the Preta Path's legs, a cold smile finally curving his lips.
"Whether you can eat it or not depends on whether you have the stomach to digest it."
The moment the words left his mouth, the right foot of the Preta Path Realm suddenly froze in mid-air.
Click!
The frost armor that had just formed on his body suddenly cracked open with countless fissures.
Within the Preta Path's body, the Ice Release Chakra that had been devoured suddenly went berserk. The melted ice water instantly reverted, reforming into countless tiny red runes within its meridians!
This is the result of Haku and Karin's repeated experiments in the Uzumaki basement over the past three days. They forcibly sealed the "Uzumaki Miniature Sealing Array" that Karin had drawn inside the ice crystal core using Yang Release Chakra.
"How does it feel to combine Master's Yang Release with the tyrannical sealing of the Uzumaki Clan?" Bai asked mockingly.
Two completely different, violent forces were fiercely clashing within the Preta Path's meridians. The ability to absorb the barrier abruptly ceased, and the bottomless Uzumaki shattered on the spot. The muscles on the Preta Path's expressionless face began to twitch uncontrollably.
In that split second when his absorption failed.
Boom!
A golden light tore through the rain curtain, falling from the sky like a meteorite and crashing heavily in front of the Preta Path. The enormous impact sent tons of mud and water flying.
Naruto's Shadow Clone twisted its neck, its entire body engulfed in a golden Chakra Cloak, its eyes filled with extreme arrogance.
"Eat my Chakra? I'll burst your stomach!"
Without uttering a word, the clone swung its right arm sharply and slapped the Preta Path's shoulder.
Buzz!
Eight thick Adamantine Sealing Chains burst forth from the clone's palms, carrying an intensely yang aura, binding the stiff Preta Path tightly in place like a wrapped rice dumpling.
"Attack, Haku!" Naruto's clone roared.
Byakugan narrowed, and he raised his right leg high, stomping heavily on the thick ice beneath the feet of the Preta Path.
"Broken!"
Boom!
The once rock-solid ice layer collapsed instantly. What was revealed below was not soil at all, but a huge pit more than ten meters deep, with its walls covered with dense red runes.
This is a "Waste Recycling Pit" that Karin dug in advance for the construction of the sealing tower.
The Preta Path was bound by golden chains like a dead dog, with no room to struggle, and fell straight into the deep pit.
"Seal!" Karin seized the opportunity and clasped her hands together sharply.
The runes around the crater burst forth with a blinding red light, and countless Chakra nets intertwined and descended, completely sealing the top of the crater. The ground returned to its flat state, leaving only a ring of charred sealing marks.
The Preta Path, which specializes in dealing with flashy and frivolous practices, is now offline.
Naruto's Shadow Clone flexed his wrists, raised an eyebrow at Haku and Karin: "Well done. After we take down that show-off in the sky, I'll have the real Naruto give you double the bonus."
Bai Wei lowered her head slightly, her eyes submissive. "Master's praise is the best reward."
Karin adjusted her glasses, about to retort, when her expression suddenly changed. She abruptly turned her head, her gaze fixed on a certain spot beneath Hidden Leaf.
"Wait! Naruto!" Karin's voice was filled with undisguised disgust and shock. "About 700 meters underground, there's an extremely disgusting Chakra fluctuation! And... it carries a very strong smell of blood, as well as the chilling aura of the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan you asked me to record before!"
The Shadow Clone's smile vanished instantly, his eyes turning as cold as knives.
Danzo, that old dog, couldn't hold back any longer. The top-secret scroll that was unearthed from the ruins of the Naka Shrine a few days ago now seems to be far more than just a record of history.
"You guys hold the line, I'm going to rip that old dog's turtle shell off. You really think you can sneak in during the chaos?"
Bang!
The Shadow Clone vanished in a puff of white smoke. The information was instantly transmitted, and the main body was ready to activate the Flying Thunder God to settle old scores.
At the same time, the view suddenly shifted back to the sky, tens of thousands of meters above the ground.
Naruto's true form in his Gate of Limit state, carrying an overwhelming and violent aura, had already reached Deva Path Pain's face.
The rapidly pulling airflow formed a huge vacuum sphere around the two of them, forcibly pushing away even the torrential rain.
The Deva Path's unwavering Rinnegan locked onto Naruto, and its hands pushed out once more.
"Stubborn and unyielding," Deva Path coldly uttered four words.
The "Shinra Tensei" that had just been interrupted, after drawing Chakra, increased in power several times over. The repulsive force transformed into a solid, transparent steel wall, which crashed into Naruto.
"Is that all the strength you have? Haven't you eaten, you blind man!"
Naruto grinned wildly, revealing his gleaming white teeth. He didn't retreat at all; the muscles in his right arm bulged again under the activation of the Eight Gates, and pale green steam mixed with golden Yang Release Chakra almost set the sky ablaze.
"Break it for me!"
The heavy punch slammed into the repulsive wall without any fancy moves.
Boom--!!!
The raw, Monster Strength clashed violently with the divine power of the Rinnegan, sparking blindingly bright sparks. A piercing cracking sound echoed through the night sky.
Click!
That supposedly Absolute Defense repulsive wall was actually smashed open by Naruto, leaving a visible crack!
For the Deva Path, an incredulous look of horror flashed across Tiandao's perpetually icy face.
At the same time, far away in the highest tower of Amegakure.
The emaciated Nagato's Nagato widened suddenly, and he coughed up a mouthful of black blood, staining the numerous IV tubes in his chest crimson. He gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly, his knuckles white, his voice trembling. "His physical body... can actually withstand the repulsive force of a god? This is impossible!"
High in the sky.
Naruto's fist completely pierced through the repulsive force wall.
"On my turf, you're nobody!"
The fist, accompanied by a sonic boom, was only half an inch away from Deva Path's face!
