In Konoha: Starting with Three Choices

As repulsive force swept across the ground, a small crescent-shaped crater quietly formed.

Just then, white light blazed atop the Asura Path's head, and a powerful destructive laser erupted from it, shooting straight at Liuyun.

As Deva Yahiko unleashed another wave of repulsive force, the pressure on the other four dropped sharply.

Their movements quickened too. To Liuyun's surprise, the Six Paths Puppets seemed entirely unaffected by the repulsive force.

Moving freely, the Human Path and Naraka Path soon reached Liuyun, stretching out their hands to seize his arms.

Liuyun remained calm, his face expressionless.

"Seriously! Are you willing to throw away these two puppets just to kill me?"

"But you still underestimate me! Compared to someone I once met, this repulsive force is nothing!"

With a lift of his hand, azure ice appeared around Liuyun.

Like a plague, it instantly transformed into boundless waves of ice, spreading rapidly through the air.

The Naraka Path and Human Path had barely tried to flee before the surging ice engulfed them, turning them into simple ice sculptures.

The entire sky began turning blue at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The destructive laser fired from the Asura Path's head failed to stir even a ripple against the sky-filling waves of ice.

The ice surged into towering waves, like a monstrous maw ready to devour everything.

It lunged straight at the Deva Path and Asura Path.

He could clearly sense just how much chakra those waves of ice contained.

Limitless? No! Nagato couldn't tell, but one thing was certain: the sky-filling waves of ice contained far more chakra than he possessed!
