Nagato straightened his back, dusted himself off, and remained indifferent.
" Sage Mode? Jiraiya- sensei's technique... It seems the Sannin have all mastered some kind of unique power. Uzumaki Naruto brother..."
Replacing his azure eyes with blood-red cross-shaped pupils, he stared intently at the formidable enemy before him, and behind the Tailed Beast Cloak, streaks of pale red chakra gradually took shape.
"I don't have a senior brother like you who murders his master!"
The battle was about to break out. Tsunade looked at Jiraiya in front of her, her pupils trembling slightly.
" Lady Tsunade! Leave this to me. Please use the Katsuyu Lady to maintain Lord Jiraiya's life force."
Awakening from her panic, Tsunade quickly performed the hand seals, amidst swirling White Mist.
The next moment, a Katsuyu, tens of meters long, appeared, looking around at the strange scene, and seemed a little confused.
" Lady Tsunade?"
"There's no time, Lord Katsuyu! Please help Lord Jiraiya make a living as soon as possible, and also go over there to help Naruto!"
Upon seeing this, the Katsuyu immediately split into countless offspring, forming a region that continuously replenishes chakra, supplying Shizune for Jiraiya's surgery.
On the other hand, Katsuyu crawled onto Naruto's clothes and landed on his shoulders.
" Naruto, please don't resist. I will heal your injuries during the battle..."
"Although I don't think I'll get hurt, thank you anyway, I'm going in!"
His eyes were filled with solemnity. The other party was the owner of the Rinnegan. According to the information obtained from the Konoha Crush, he could not only freely manipulate gravity and repulsion, but also had some strange abilities.
"Gravity, repulsion, chakra absorption, summoning... bring out whatever other abilities you have, or you'll spend the rest of your life in Konoha Prison."
Naruto's words elicited a series of cold laughs from Nagato, who then formed a black rod from his palm and held it in his hand.
"You're not qualified to say that. Merge with the other Tailed Beast and become the key to lasting peace for the world, Nine-Tails! Banshō Ten'in!"
Gravity suddenly struck, but the chakra binding his feet to the ground tightly resisted its movement. Naruto lowered his right hand, and a sharp, explosive sound rang out.
" Blaze Release: Rasenshuriken!"
Wind and fire combine, creating a raging storm, and shuriken, as dazzling as the blazing sun, shoot fiercely.
"It's no use, the Preta Path."
As the spiraling Rasenshuriken, which spun wildly and carved lava trenches into the earth, arrived, an invisible, transparent barrier surrounded Nagato's entire body.
In just a few seconds, the enormous chakra was completely devoured by the Preta Path, and a hint of surprise flashed across the pale purple Rinnegan.
"This is too much. Is this all the chakra of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
"If you can absorb chakra, can you also absorb physical damage from close combat? Frog Kumite - Two Bones!"
A faint fluorescent white light appeared on his arms, and Naruto mobilized the Natural Energy within a radius of dozens of meters, delivering two powerful punches comparable to Tsunade's Chakra Enhanced Strength straight to his face.
"It's that invisible attack again, Tobi!"
The pure white mask, which spread beneath the skin, swirled around the right eye and converged into a vortex pattern, exploded in an instant.
Bang!
To Naruto's astonishment, a long, pale hand was placed on Naruto chest.
" Human Path - Soul Absorption Technique!"
In an instant, half of Naruto's pale purple soul was sucked out, and an unprecedented sense of crisis lingered in his heart.
"You! Absorbing souls, that's also the power of the Rinnegan. No wonder it's the eye of the Sage of Six Paths. What are you going to do now!"
Buzzing...
With a Yin-Yang chakra ratio of 2:8, the jet-black core was revealed, and the Rasenshuriken firmly enveloped it.
" Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken!"
"That's the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, then you are!"
To Nagato's astonishment, Naruto grinned and firmly grasped Nagato's hand.
"I am Shadow Clone!"
The dark purple Tailed Beast Bomb core, like a fleeting shooting star, shimmered with dazzling light as it approached from afar.
An unprecedented sense of crisis stirred everyone's senses. Even Shizune and Tsunade, who were healing Jiraiya in the rear, couldn't help but subconsciously look towards the center of the battlefield.
The dazzling light transformed into pure white that devoured everything. Naruto's expression was solemn, and he did not lower his guard despite the terrifying scene before him.
" Shinra Tensei!"
An invisible repulsive force instantly swallowed the pure white. Nagato's expression turned solemn as he murmured softly.
"This is the Nine-Tails ' Jinchūriki? He's definitely much more troublesome than a regular Tailed Beast. So..."
" Summoning Jutsu: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"
In an instant, dark clouds rolled in from afar, and the giant that appeared behind Nagato slowly opened his eyes, an ominous and terrifying malice permeating the world.
"What is this? Such ominous chakra. I have a feeling this guy is watching me..."
"Hey! Naruto, listen carefully to what I'm saying..."
In his Inner world, the usually indifferent Kurama suddenly spoke, his expression solemn.
"What is it! This guy is not someone you can deal with if you're distracted. It's best to keep this brief, as I may not have time to listen carefully to what's coming next."
"Tch, arrogant brat, this guy... the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, the summoning Summoning Beast he summoned is the legendary source of chakra, the cloak of the Ten-Tails, and now it already contains most of the chakra of the One-Tail to the Eight-Tails..."
Kurama looked serious, completely unexpected to encounter such a terrifying sight here, and the Ten-Tails might even reappear in the world.
" Ten-Tails? The complete forms of the Tailed Beast from one to Nine-Tails. I can roughly imagine how enormous that chakra must be."
Once Naruto entered Sage Mode, he could feel the terrifying presence of the deep, malevolent words and the immense chakra before him.
"Listen to me quietly. Once I'm dragged into that place, the Ten-Tails will be resurrected. The Sage of Sage of Six Paths said that when the Nine-Tails is resurrected, it will be the moment the world is destroyed."
"Listen up! Whether you immediately notify that Uchiha bastard or try to escape, you absolutely cannot let me be captured by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, understand?"
"Tch, cowardly fox, you specifically jumped out to tell me this?"
Inner world chuckled to himself Naruto looked back.
"Then you should put in some effort too. Don't forget, we're a two-person team. What kind of team is it if only I'm putting in the work?"
For a moment, Nine-Tails gritted its teeth and nodded helplessly.
"You brat, you're so annoying! I'll never forgive you for letting me down at this crucial moment!"
"They're about to go!"
In his Inner world, Naruto approached the sealing talisman and ripped it off.
The next second, a strong hand stopped him, and azure eyes looked at the child in front of him.
"Although I knew this day might come, I didn't expect it to arrive so soon, Naruto..."
"You... could it be... never mind, let's talk about reminiscing later. The Pervy Sage is on the verge of death, and the enemy is someone with the Rinnegan. Could you please not stop me from fighting alongside Kurama, Father?"
