"You are also a member of the Uzumaki Clan, so you must have experienced the annihilation of the Uzumaki Clan. You should understand the meaning of pain."
Nagato made a hand Hand Seals and calmly said, "If you understand pain, you should yearn for peace. It seems your understanding of pain is not yet profound."
The next instant, a small black sphere suddenly appeared at the tip of Nagato Hand Seals, and then the black sphere silently rose into the sky.
" Chibaku Tensei!!"
boom!!
A terrifying suction force shook all directions, tearing apart the thick dark clouds in the sky. Even the raindrops that were falling to the earth suddenly froze in mid-air, then abruptly changed direction and flew towards the center of the black sphere.
The dark clouds were torn apart, but the sunlight did not fall on the earth; instead, it was completely blocked by this black sphere.
Cracks began to appear in the earth, and countless stones began to fly into the sky, constantly being attracted to the black sphere. This terrifying gravitational force also acted on Kushina, pulling Kushina towards the sky.
"Not good!"
As a member of the Uzumaki Clan and an expert in various Sealing Jutsu, Kushina could immediately tell that this move was similar to Sealing Jutsu and was extremely terrifying. Once someone was sucked into the center, they would be sealed and would find it very difficult to escape.
Without hesitation, Kushina directly controlled the Nine-Tails 'Chakra, instantly Complete Nine-Tails Transformation. At the same time, she controlled the massive Chakra to continuously gather, which then transformed into a giant Tailed Beast Bomb.
The Tailed Beast Bomb flew directly towards the Chibaku Tensei in the sky and suddenly collided with it.
Buzz!!
At that moment, it was as if the sun had exploded directly overhead, completely obscuring the world with white light. Endless, dazzling white radiance poured out in all directions like ocean waves, and the ninjas of Amegakure in the distance couldn't help but close their eyes.
As everything dissipated, countless fragments of rock fell from the sky like raindrops, and the Chibaku Tensei had clearly been completely shattered by the giant Tailed Beast Bomb.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt a sense of powerlessness. The difference in power was simply too great. Both Kushina and Nagato clearly possessed the power to easily annihilate the entire Amegakure.
Konan breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that Kushina had deflected Nagato's attack and was unharmed, but seeing that Kushina was also having difficulty dealing with Nagato, she couldn't help but clench her fists again.
" Nagato... why did he become like this?"
A huge hole, several miles in circumference, appeared in the clouds of the entire sky. Sunlight poured down from this hole, shining on Nagato and Kushina in her Complete Nine-Tails Transformation below, as if bathing everything in golden light.
However, the endless dark clouds in the distance were slowly filling in, and the huge hole in the sky was gradually healing, and the oppressive atmosphere began to permeate again.
"Is this the power of the Nine-Tails?"
Nagato didn't look up at the sky, but instead calmly gazed at Kushina.
"I didn't expect that my Chibaku Tensei, which I unleashed from my physical body, could be broken. In that case, I'll have to come up with an even bigger one."
The next instant, Nagato Hand Seals once more, attempting to unleash an even stronger Chibaku Tensei.
But at that very moment, his eyes suddenly flickered, and his Hand Seals gesture abruptly changed.
" Summoning Technique! Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"
Pfft!!
A white mist suddenly flashed by, and a monster even larger than the Nine-Tails appeared abruptly in the arena—it was none other than the Ten-Tails ' hull, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!
The moment the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path appeared, Nine-Tails's expression changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm.
"It's the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, this is troublesome."
"No, the real problem isn't that, it's..."
Kushina shook her head, her beautiful eyes filled with a solemn expression as she gazed at the figure above the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
That figure was not Nagato. He looked extremely old, like a frail old man who might collapse at any moment.
On his back, several tubes were connected to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Despite this, his eyes were as deep as an endless abyss, and his entire being exuded a terrifying aura that seemed to look down upon the Shinobi World.
Buzz!!
The dark clouds in the sky were slowly filling the hole, but when this figure's aura soared into the sky, it actually stopped the dark clouds from shrinking and even made the hole expand slightly!
Its sheer presence was enough to shake the heavens and the earth.
"Haven't you taken down the Nine-Tails yet?"
Madara Uchiha stood atop the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and spoke calmly to Nagato.
Nagato was slightly surprised, clearly not expecting Madara Uchiha to appear like this, and said, " The Nine-Tails ' power is stronger, but the Seven-Tails has already been suppressed."
"Too slow. Leave everything to me now. You leave first, otherwise you won't be able to handle that person when he arrives." Madara Uchiha said to Nagato, his eyes flashing.
Although Madara Uchiha didn't mention a name, Nagato instantly knew who Madara Uchiha was referring to, and a hint of apprehension appeared in his eyes.
"But your body..."
"It's alright. I can't hold on much longer. Now is the time to do one last thing before I die," Madara Uchiha said calmly.
Nagato took a deep breath, nodded, and suddenly walked away into the distance.
Only Madara Uchiha and Kushina remained in the arena, facing each other from afar. Looking at Kushina, who was perfectly controlling the Nine-Tails Chakra, a strange light flashed in Madara Uchiha's eyes.
No wonder Nagato hadn't been able to subdue the Nine-Tails for so long; I never expected this little girl from the Uzumaki Clan to be able to perfectly control the Nine-Tails ' power.
"You're a descendant of Mito, aren't you? Your control over the Nine-Tails 'Chakra is quite good."
Upon hearing Madara Uchiha's words, Kushina's pupils contracted slightly, and she finally confirmed Madara Uchiha's identity.
Mito, also known as Mito Uzumaki, was the wife of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, and the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
The fact that this elderly man addressed Mito Uzumaki by her given name and used a tone befitting a peer clearly revealed his identity.
Madara Uchiha!
Uya had already told Kushina about Madara Uchiha, so Kushina was aware that Madara Uchiha was still alive.
"However, the Nine-Tails is not something you should possess, so... give it to me."
Madara Uchiha's gaze carried a hint of condescending coldness and arrogance. Even when facing Kushina, who could perfectly control the Nine-Tails Chakra' chakra, and even when he was in such a poor state that he had to rely on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to barely stay alive, his expression remained calm, as if he had everything under control from beginning to end. (To be continued.)
