Nagato at the Height of His Power Attacks

Feeling the distortion spreading through the surrounding space, Uchiha Yansheng hurriedly used the Flying Raijin he had been studying for some time.

The Flying Raijin was an extremely complex forbidden technique, but it mainly relied on sealing formulas for spatial transfer. Uchiha Yansheng's sealing technique studies had been fairly solid, and he had some talent for sensing space-time as well.

But reflexes and such were simply asking too much of him.

Therefore, the Flying Raijin Uchiha Yansheng had learned only allowed for the most basic fixed-point teleportation. He could not use the Flying Raijin's second stage, nor could he use it in battle.

On the other hand, Uchiha Yansheng had practiced fixed-point teleportation very well, to the point where he could nearly cast it instantly.

Thus, the moment he sensed the surrounding space-time fluctuations, Uchiha Yansheng immediately used Flying Raijin and teleported to the nearest marked location.

It was not that he did not want to teleport farther away. Flying Raijin required him to sense its marks before he could jump to them, and in a critical moment, Uchiha Yansheng naturally had to escape danger as quickly as possible.

The nearest location happened to be beside Uchiha Yansheng's half-ruined Susanoo.

Reentering the Perfect Susanoo, Uchiha Yansheng first checked at top speed whether the ocular power inside it had been mixed with anything else.

Only after finishing that did he release the ocular power sealed within his body again, repairing the damaged Susanoo.

In the blink of an eye, the Perfect Susanoo appeared once more.

Seeing this through Killer B's eyes, the Eight-Tails could not help but sigh. "I have only seen this kind of terrifying power on the Sage of Six Paths."

Killer B froze at those words, ignoring the situation outside as he began asking about the Sage of Six Paths.

Unfortunately, the tailed beasts had always kept silent about the Sage of Six Paths. No matter how much Killer B begged and questioned them, it was useless.

Elsewhere, Obito Uchiha sensed the space-time fluctuations and immediately recalled the terror of once being dominated by Minato Namikaze.

Because of Uchiha Yansheng, Minato Namikaze, who knew all the information, had utterly crushed him.

If Black Zetsu had not suddenly stepped in to save him, Obito Uchiha would have long since been captured alive by Konoha Village.

"Flying Raijin... no wonder you were willing to leave Konoha Village."

Obito Uchiha quickly steadied his emotions. Looking at the enormous pale-blue Susanoo in the distance, a trace of envy appeared in his eyes.

Because he only had one eye, Obito Uchiha could not awaken Susanoo.

But in truth, Obito Uchiha did not know that what stood before him was not an orthodox Susanoo either.

Though the difference was slight, there was still a difference.

"Obito, everything is ready."

At that moment, a black-and-white figure emerged from underground, surrounded by numerous wooden spikes that seemed like mere decorations.

Uchiha Yansheng had clearly noticed Black Zetsu as well, but unfortunately, he had yet to find a way to seal Black Zetsu.

He wondered whether the Reaper Death Seal would work. He could make a clone and test it in a few days.

That thought suddenly surfaced in his mind, making Uchiha Yansheng somewhat annoyed. He had even forgotten that he had not learned the Reaper Death Seal yet.

"Summoning: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"

Along with a somewhat familiar voice, a being as large as the Perfect Susanoo appeared before Uchiha Yansheng once again.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path let out a furious roar after appearing.

Then, as if it had discovered something delicious, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path charged straight at Uchiha Yansheng.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yansheng hurriedly drove the Perfect Susanoo into the air, barely escaping the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's attack for the moment.

That thing was the shell of the Divine Tree. Naturally, Uchiha Yansheng did not dare let it touch him.

There was a high chance that his Susanoo, formed from Byakugan ocular power, was nothing more than a sweet dessert to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Fortunately, that thing could not fly.

Just as Uchiha Yansheng was feeling relieved, an icy voice rang out again.

"Universal Pull!"

Immediately afterward, Uchiha Yansheng felt his body grow heavy. Though he did not fall straight down, the weight pressing on him only deepened the unease in his heart.

But... why would Nagato be here? Under normal circumstances, he should not have been.

Could Black Zetsu have used Kotoamatsukami on Nagato?

In other circumstances, it would be difficult to say whether Kotoamatsukami could alter the will of the Rinnegan. But Nagato's Rinnegan did not belong to him in the first place, and the eyes still contained the restrictions Madara Uchiha had left behind.

At that thought, Uchiha Yansheng already wanted to leave, but where exactly he should go was also worth considering.

"Planetary Devastation!"

Then, a fist-sized black sphere suddenly appeared beside the Susanoo. Accompanied by immense suction, Uchiha Yansheng found himself temporarily unable to move.

Unlike the Six Paths of Pain he had encountered last time, whose attacks had been stiff and slow, this assault was incredibly swift. Furthermore, only Nagato seemed to be on the battlefield; there was no sign of the other Six Paths.

Activating the Byakugan's penetrating vision, Uchiha Yansheng finally spotted Nagato flying toward him at high speed. He also noticed that, aside from still looking somewhat frail, Nagato's crippled legs had been replaced by a white substance.

There was no doubt about it. Black Zetsu had healed Nagato's injuries.

With his body restored, Nagato might not have been able to wield the Rinnegan's true power, but he should not have been far from it.

Thinking this, Uchiha Yansheng stopped concealing his strength. He drove Susanoo at full force, and four massive chakra blades slashed down upon Planetary Devastation's black sphere at once.

The powerful attack shattered the black sphere that formed Planetary Devastation.

At that moment, Nagato had already arrived beside Uchiha Yansheng, treating the Susanoo surrounding Uchiha Yansheng's body as if it did not exist.

Watching the Susanoo scatter like snowflakes, Uchiha Yansheng's eyes now held a trace of panic.

Uchiha Yansheng did not know whether an orthodox Susanoo could be absorbed by the Rinnegan, but his imitation clearly could not withstand the Preta Path's chakra absorption ability.

After all, no matter how similar it was, it was not a real Mangekyo Sharingan. The Susanoo Uchiha Yansheng had created was merely a shell filled with ocular power.

"Preta Path..."

After gritting out those words, Uchiha Yansheng threw a scroll from his right sleeve.

As the Sage Art chakra within the scroll was released, Uchiha Yansheng formed hand seals and used the only Sage Art he had successfully developed.

"Sage Art: Tiger's Roar!"

With the deafening roar of a tiger, Nagato's body stalled slightly. Seizing the opportunity, Uchiha Yansheng withdrew his Susanoo and fell downward under the force of gravity.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Yansheng still could not use any flying ninjutsu, but that was fine. He knew Flying Raijin.

"See you later, everyone!"
