"What?"
Kakuzu, who had witnessed the scene from behind, stared wide-eyed in terror. He had clearly noticed something strange about Konan's body as well.
Konan's face was filled with shock as she watched the magatama fly toward her.
At the critical moment between life and death, the space before her twisted, and a figure suddenly appeared.
"Shinra Tensei!"
A strange eye suddenly opened wide.
The magatama came hurtling in, yet it abruptly stopped one step away from the man, as though his body possessed a force capable of repelling everything.
Although Susanoo's divine weapon, Yasakani no Magatama, had been halted, it did not rebound as the man had expected. It continued struggling to press its attack.
"It's him!"
Long Ye saw the man who had suddenly appeared clearly.
A single Rinnegan was enough for him to confirm the man's identity.
Nagato!
Nagato's Rinnegan began to tremble.
The full-force strike of a Senjutsu-enhanced Susanoo wielding a divine weapon was something even Shinra Tensei could only block for the moment, not repel.
His Rinnegan suddenly widened.
Boom!!
A spiraling blast of force swept out in every direction.
Yasakani no Magatama finally vanished.
Nagato instantly increased the power of Shinra Tensei, completely suppressing the magatama's force.
However, using Shinra Tensei over such a wide area greatly drained his lifespan. If he had not been left with no other choice, he would not have used it so casually on such a large scale.
Nagato looked at Long Ye and clapped his hands together!
"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"
He struck out with his palm through the air.
Even from several hundred paces away, Long Ye could still feel a terrifying gale rushing at him.
It felt as though he were standing at the mouth of a wind tunnel, and the blast sent him flying backward.
