"Not good..."
Madara Uchiha was utterly shocked. This was truly beyond his expectations. Even with Dust Release, the Rinnegan should have been able to absorb it.
But Uya's strange power couldn't be absorbed!
Shinra Tensei!!
The Power of Tremors had already impacted Nagato's body, Madara Uchiha with no choice but to forcibly stop the Preta Path's power and unleash Shinra Tensei once more.
boom!!!
This is a head-on clash between Shinra Tensei and the Power of Tremors. Although Shinra Tensei is a power belonging to the Six Paths Level, it was used hastily.
The power of the Power of Tremors, even at such close range, is at its peak!
Even though Shinra Tensei can deflect an S-rank Ninjutsu Rasenshuriken, how much power can Nagato's body unleash now?
boom!!
In that Setsuna, it was as if the heavens and earth had collapsed, shaking the very fabric of the world.
Uya's Power of Tremors suddenly slammed into the airwaves of Shinra Tensei, instantly bursting forth with a dazzling white light, as if shattering space itself!
The scene was like a thunderclap, causing everyone's eardrums to ring and the entire earth to tremble as Uya and Nagato suddenly split apart.
A rift, as deep as an abyss, appeared between Uya and Nagato, spanning the entire area.
Both Uya and Nagato remained standing still.
"Who's winning?"
Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the others all showed a hint of worry. That was the Rinnegan, the legendary Dōjutsu!
The terrifying aura and Chakra they unleashed just now were enough to shake the entire scene, leaving Tsunade and Jiraiya utterly horrified.
Finally, in the next instant, the situation changed.
Thump thump thump!!
Uya withdrew his fist and staggered back a few steps.
"Teacher Uya!"
" Uya!"
Upon seeing this scene, Konan, Yahiko, and Tsunade, Jiraiya were in the distance, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
So Uya really couldn't withstand the power of the Rinnegan after all?
But the Setsuna that thought crossed their minds, their expressions suddenly froze.
Because Uya, who had staggered backward, regained his footing the next moment, while Nagato, who had been standing there motionless, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
puff!!!
Nagato staggered, nearly falling to the ground, barely managing to stay upright, his face expressionless.
Madara Uchiha, who was controlling Nagato's body, was somewhat surprised at this moment.
"It can actually withstand the power of the Rinnegan... No, Nagato's body is still too weak after all; he can't even unleash one-tenth of the Rinnegan's power."
Shaking his head inwardly, Madara Uchiha sighed slightly, realizing it was indeed a bit too early.
In fact, even if Nagato had fully grown up, he would have had difficulty withstanding the power of the Rinnegan. This can be seen from Nagato's emaciated body in the later part of the original Nagato. The physique of the Uzumaki Clan alone is simply not enough to withstand the Rinnegan.
Only Hashirama Senju's Sage Body can do it!
For various reasons, Madara Uchiha manipulated Nagato to clash head-on with Uya, but ended up suffering a slight loss. It can be said that the power Nagato can currently exert is far less than that of Deva Path Pain in the original story.
Madara Uchiha gave Uya a deep look, then controlled Nagato to unleash Shinra Tensei once more.
Splash!
Shinra Tensei propelled the mud and water on the ground, creating towering waves that crashed towards Uya, Orochimaru Jiraiya, and the others.
Orochimaru Jiraiya, and the others all retreated, while Uya drew his Kusanagi Sword and suddenly brought it down, slicing through the muddy waves with a deafening roar.
However, Nagato had already disappeared from the field.
"Have they left?"
Uya glanced at the ground, wanting to continue the pursuit, but ultimately shook his head.
This might be a good opportunity to take down Nagato ahead of schedule, but it's also a very dangerous situation. No one knows what other tricks Madara Uchiha.
"That's the power of the Rinnegan; it's truly extraordinary."
Orochimaru looked at the spot where Nagato had stood, now vanished, a look of seriousness in his eyes.
Even he was terrified by the power of the Rinnegan!
"I never expected that even the Rinnegan would appear. This world is getting more and more chaotic. What does the appearance of these eyes really represent?"
Jiraiya took a deep breath, his expression extremely solemn, and muttered to himself.
Tsunade's beautiful eyes flickered uncertainly before she finally looked at Uya.
She was shocked to find that Uya could actually block the power of the Rinnegan, and even seemed to have gained a slight advantage in the struggle.
She knew what the Rinnegan represented; it was the power of the Sage of Six Paths!
"You're really something, managing to withstand such power."
Walking up to Uya, Tsunade's tone revealed a hint of lingering fear. If Uya hadn't blocked her way, she might have perished here!
The most dangerous moment today wasn't their fight with Hanzo of the Salamander, but that brief instant just now!
"No, it's just that he's having trouble unleashing the power of those eyes right now... He can't even unleash half of their power."
Uya shook his head, sheathed the Kusanagi Sword, and then took a deep breath.
His strength is still too weak!
To others, their ability to team up with Orochimaru to defeat Hanzo of the Salamander and block the power of the Rinnegan was enough to shake the Shinobi World.
But Uya knew in his heart that this was still far from enough!
If Nagato could unleash the same power as in the original story, he could easily crush everyone present, not even Hanzo of the Salamander!
After this, Madara Uchiha will probably be keeping an eye on him.
Even though Uya estimated that Madara Uchiha was currently in a state where he had no power and could not break free from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and that he could not remotely control Nagato again and again, Uya still felt a sense of crisis.
Even if Uya were to directly defect from Konoha or even Konoha, he would have no fear.
The only one who could make Uya feel a sense of danger was Madara Uchiha!
"It's time to open the Fourth Gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation. Otherwise, we'll always be nothing but ants in the face of the Rinnegan's power, without even the slightest strength to resist."
"Even the Fourth Gate isn't enough; we need to open the Fifth Gate and even the Sixth Gate!"
Muttering a phrase to himself, Uya slowly calmed himself down.
At that moment, Konan Yahiko walked over from a distance. Konan looked at Uya, a hint of guilt appearing in her beautiful eyes.
She found Nagato outside and, seeing that Nagato was about to starve to death, she couldn't bear it and saved Nagato. But she never expected that Nagato would bring such trouble to Uya.
"Teacher Uya, I'm so sorry, I didn't know Nagato..."
"It's okay, it's not your fault."
Uya gently shook her head.
Although Yahiko hadn't finished speaking, Uya could guess that Nagato was probably found by Konan and Yahiko when he was about to starve to death, just like in the original story.
Of course, in reality, Nagato could not possibly have starved to death.
Even without Konan and Yahiko, the White Zetsu secretly monitoring Nagato couldn't have killed Nagato. (To be continued.)
