The Super Shinra Heaven came to an end, leaving a basin-like devastation with a radius of nearly twenty kilometers on the earth.
Amidst the smoke and dust that filled the air hundreds of meters high, Pain Deva Path fell straight into the depths of the ruins.
After super·Shinra Tensei, Rinnegan Deva Path's ability will be temporarily disabled, but Pain has no worries, because no one can directly withstand this technique!
He paced among the ruins, looking around, looking for possible traces of the remains of Sasuke.
But except for the scattered fragments of Wood Dragon and the remnants of Black Flame, there is no sign that proves the existence of Sasuke.
"It seems that it has been shattered into pieces..."
But when he jumped onto the broken pieces of Wood Dragon, his expression suddenly changed.
There is a large Jutsu Formula written there.
"This is..." After careful identification, he discovered the clue.
--"Delayed Summoning Formula."
"You can set the time interval between activation of Summoning, trigger it automatically, and cannot be destroyed manually. Even Jiraiya Teacher didn't master it back then. It is the most advanced Summoning Technique type."
"Sasuke Uchiha, why did he leave this kind of Jutsu Formula when he was about to die? Could it be that he planned to find reinforcements to help? Or..."
Thinking of a possibility, Pain's eyes immediately became extremely serious!
"He's not dead...!!!"
Bang...!!!
Jutsu Formula started at this moment... With a huge smoke screen, a dying giant snake lay on the ground!!
"This is... Summoning mon from Orochimaru, Manda?"
Manda's eyes showed Six-Pointed Star, and its mouth opened and closed, as angry as a gossamer but with endless unwillingness. "Damn kid, did you use those eyes to manipulate me? Damn it, I, the noble Manda, ended up like this... end!"
Manda died, the Six-Pointed Star in its eyes faded, Sasuke supported Snake Fang, and the embarrassed Earth Flow came out of Manda's mouth.
"Well... at the last moment, I relied on Susanoo to cushion it, but I still withstood a big impact, and all the bones in my body were shattered!"
Chachacha...!!
Black Rod and Sasuke were shot in the face and couldn't even dodge. They were shot in the shoulders and knees and couldn't stand immediately. He barely used his right hand to support the ground to prevent himself from falling to his knees!
Chakra from Nagato pours into Sasuke's body along with Black Rod!
Buzz! In the background of my mind, the blurred lines of Rinnegan flashed by!
Sasuke couldn't move. "Rinnegan Six Paths Technique, using Chakra to interfere with the opponent is far worse than Madara back then, but for me at this moment, it is still a bit heavy..."
Da!
Pain Deva Path, jumped down from the Wood Dragon fragments, and said as he walked forward, "If you just run away, everything will be fine, why do you have to come back and die in vain?"
Sasuke said, "I also have a reason to stick to it. Let me tell you, the move you just made was very good. Rinnegan's Six Paths ability can be developed to such an extent by you. To be honest, it is an eye-opener for me!"
"Oh...?" Deva Path paused, made a long and meaningful call, and then asked tentatively, "You seem to know Rinnegan quite well. Did 'Madara' tell you?"
Sasuke said, "The 'Madara' you mentioned refers to the one with the mask. That's probably not Madara."
Pain stared. "What do you mean by this?"
Sasuke lowered his eyes and thought: Although he is Obito's subordinate, he doesn't seem to know the true identity of Obito. Naruto seemed to have tried to communicate with him back then and succeeded. Although I am not good at negotiation, Nagato is indeed a good fighting force. If he can win over us, the meaning may be far greater than killing...
It just so happens that I can't move at the moment, so let's try to persuade him.
Raising his eyes, Pain was waiting for Sasuke's answer. It seemed that he really cared about what he just heard.
Sasuke smiled and said, "You can take my life now, are you sure?"
Pain said, "Well, you are the first person who can fight with me to such an extent. To be honest, Sasuke Uchiha, I admire your strength. If you continue to grow, you will surpass me sooner or later..."
Sasuke: "So?"
Pain: "If you are willing to be used by Xiao, I am willing to make you my successor..."
Sasuke: "Hey, do you think this is possible?"
Pain: "You answered like that, but I looked up to you. Yes, even if you were willing, I would not keep you by my side, because the more difficult to control a person, the more he will become a serious problem. For reference, it is myself. Okay, before I end your life, let me explain what you said before. What do you mean by saying that Madara is not Madara?"
Sasuke said, "It's just the literal meaning. The real Madara Uchiha died many years ago. The Masked Man man who calls himself Madara is the man who inherited the legacy of Madara Uchiha. His true identity is Obito Uchiha who died in the battle of Kannabi Bridge!"
Pain's face gradually became serious. "Are you... serious?"
Sasuke said, "Although I don't know the details of your acquaintance, if he is Madara, why does he need to show off with a mask? Madara is Ninja, who has had conflicts with First Hokage several times. How can he act in such a roundabout way!"
Pain clenched his hands. "I was also suspicious. He claimed that he and First Hokage were seriously injured and are now an 'empty shell'!"
"Ha." Sasuke chuckled, "Empty shell... haven't you heard that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse?"
Pain fell into deep thought for a long time. He recalled all the details since he got acquainted with Madara. The blind spots that he had been attracted by Madara's words but intentionally ignored gradually became clear, confirming what Sasuke said.
All these years... he has been lying to me?
He said that I am the reincarnation of Sage of Six Paths. Could it be that... this is also false?
Pain asked in a deep voice, "How do you know this?"
Sasuke said, "Even if I tell you, you won't believe it, because your perception will determine your judgment. At least wait until I see the 'body'!"
Pain was not surprised at first. Sasuke knew that his body existed because he preconceptionally believed that it was 'Madara'. No, it was Sasuke who was instructed by Obito.
But it seems... that's not the case!
Phew!
Black Rod, slipped from Deva Path's cuffs, and he strode forward!
--"No need, there are too many doubts about you, it would be safer to kill him, but I really want to thank you for telling me about 'Madara'!"
Sasuke smiled bitterly in his heart: It seems that I am really not good at words...
"You know, Nagato, I didn't come back just to die in vain as you said. You have already missed the opportunity to actually kill me..."
Sizzsssssssssssssss...!
On Sasuke, the white Cursed Garment of Cursed Seal: State Three faded quickly!
It didn't disappear, but was absorbed by Sasuke and became part of his own power!
In the dark, Orochimaru watched this scene and smiled happily, "I will not hesitate to overdraw all my Chakra. Using Yasaka Flame Dragon is not only to break free from Chibaku Tensei, but also to allow the body and mind to absorb the power of 'State Three' in a critical state!"
Sasuke's hand supporting the ground slowly raised, grabbed Black Rod on his knee, and pulled it out with force. His bent knee stood upright, and he pulled out Black Rod on his shoulder!
"You...!!" Deva Path's pupils shrank suddenly.
No...Deva Path's ability has not been restored yet!!
Bang!
Sasuke throws away Black Rod.
--"You didn't take action just now. I appreciate your kindness and wait for you to regain your strength!"
