Deva Path's actions sent a shock through Jiraiya's heart. He knew all too well what Planetary Devastation meant.
It was the most powerful sealing jutsu formula he had ever seen. Had Minato and Kushina not intervened, he and Tsunade would probably still have been trapped inside Planetary Devastation, until they died.
In theory, a jutsu like that, much like the Toad Confrontation Chant, consumed an enormous amount of chakra.
It should have been impossible to cast again so soon, but both Deva Path's movements and that familiar black point of gravity proved that Nagato was preparing to unleash Planetary Devastation once more.
"Everyone, get out of the jutsu's range!" Jiraiya shouted to those behind him.
In fact, they needed no reminder from Jiraiya. The instant they saw Deva Path fly into the sky, every surviving ninja could think of only one thing: a strategic retreat.
No one believed Deva Path was merely fooling around. The celestial body he had created earlier was still sitting nearby.
After the cannon-fodder ninja withdrew, everyone left on the battlefield had at least the strength of an elite jonin. They were just as powerless at that level, but at least they would not die simply from being caught in an unknown jutsu's range.
Glancing at the familiar faces beside him, Jiraiya felt that their side still had a decent chance of winning.

All in all, their chances of victory were good. Perhaps he could even have a talk with Nagato afterward.
As time passed, Deva Path flew higher and higher. Merely looking at
