What was once a mountain range had been transformed into a deep, sunken valley. (From a Chinese novel.)
Countless clods of earth and rocks flew into the sky, gathering together to form a gigantic star—a truly awe-inspiring sight!
Uya's figure stood suspended in mid-air, but his entire body was also inverted. This gravitational force seemed to reverse heaven and earth, turning the earth into the sky and the sky into the earth.
Beneath Uya's feet, a cracked pattern, like ice, spread out, preventing Uya's body from flying towards the sky's Chibaku Tensei.
Seeing this, Nagato let out a furious roar, clasped his hands together at his chest, and the Chibaku Tensei in the sky suddenly unleashed an even more terrifying gravitational force, frantically tearing at Uya's body, trying to pull Uya into the sky and seal him away!
"Use the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to temporarily hold the line, while gathering Chakra to unleash Chibaku Tensei... Is this your plan, Nagato?"
Uya's figure hung upside down in the air. He glanced at the sky below his feet, then looked up at Nagato on the ground. His expression remained completely calm, as if he were playing a game with a child.
"But... it's unoriginal and lukewarm at best."
With a soft voice, Uya casually raised the hand holding the Kusanagi Sword and waved it towards the sky below!
This sword strike wasn't even as serious as when he had just severed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path; it seemed like just a casual swing.
But with just that casual wave of his hand, a terrifying force suddenly gathered.
laugh!!
This world seemed to transform into a clear pool of water in an instant, and Uya's sword instantly caused ripples to spread across the pool, surging towards its center.
The ripples appeared slow, but in reality they were incredibly fast, Setsuna splitting the enormous meteorite, which stood in the sky and was formed from countless rocks and soil, in two!
Buzz!!
The dazzling light was incredibly bright, as if this sword had not only cleaved open the Chibaku Tensei, but also the golden sun that was unknown how far away it was.
In Setsuna, the whole world seemed to be in endless daylight, with no other color besides white.
The Chibaku Tensei, and endless rubble and dust fell from the sky, crashing down on Uya's head. Uya didn't even look at it. After his body landed back on the ground, he directly punched the sky above his head.
Click!!
The sky seemed to have been shattered by Uya's punch. Endless pebbles and dust seemed to have crashed directly onto a mirror that held the heavens and the earth, shattering the mirror and being pulverized in the process.
The endless rubble was crushed into dust by the Power of Tremors, surging in all directions. The dust billowed like yellowish-brown waves, flowing towards the valley that had been transformed from a mountain range.
When everything settled down, the scene was like a giant shovel digging deep into the ground, creating a large hole, and then scattering the soil from the hole around it.
From the sky, this is indeed the scene, but if you were actually there, all you would feel is awe, an endless awe.
Because... this scene is just too big!
What was dug away was not just a handful of soil, but the entire mountain range!
Uya stood suspended in mid-air above the enormous valley, gazing calmly ahead, raising the Kusanagi Sword in his hand once more.
Nagato's figure had disappeared from Uya's sight; it seemed that just moments before, when Uya Chibaku Tensei, he had chosen to flee.
However, even with the help of White Zetsu, Nagato's whereabouts were clearly detected by Uya 'Uya Shockwave Sensing.
laugh!!
With a single swing of the sword, the sword energy swept across the earth, tearing a deep abyss in its wake, and also striking Nagato, who was enveloped by White Zetsu and lurking underground.
Amidst splattering blood, Nagato's body was slashed diagonally from the shoulder down to the waist on the other side, his entire body splitting in two as the earth cleaved apart.
Uya took a step and disappeared from the top of the valley, arriving at the side of the cleaved abyss, his gaze coldly fixed on Nagato, who still had a sliver of life Nagato.
If Uya hadn't wanted to preserve the Rinnegan, his Power of Tremors would have already obliterated Nagato into dust!
It's quite difficult to control the force needed to crush ants without damaging them.
Nagato's upper and lower body separated as the earth split apart, and amidst the splattering blood, a look of despair appeared on his face.
As expected, he was still unable to escape from Uya's grasp.
Even with all his might, and even with the help of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, the Super and Chibaku Tensei he unleashed was still utterly ineffective against Uya, unable to even slow Uya down for a moment!
Last time, Uya didn't have such power. Although he broke through Pain's Super Shinra Tensei, it was only done with the help of Deva Path Pain.
This time, however, Uya not only destroyed his Super Chibaku Tensei with overwhelming force, but also cleaved the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in two!
Even now, Nagato still can't understand why Uya is so strong, how he can be so strong that even he, who has the Rinnegan, is completely helpless against him.
Nagato couldn't understand it, neither could White Zetsu, and even Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu couldn't figure it out.
Uya... how can he be so strong?!
In the jungle, two small figures moved swiftly through the trees, one after the other.
Looking at the sky ahead and feeling the terrifying aura that emanated from it from time to time, Kimimaro and Haku wore expressions of shock.
Especially when they saw the entire sky, it looked like a giant star had appeared. That scene almost made them stop in their tracks, completely stunned.
Her pale face was filled with worry, and she ran even faster than Kimimaro.
" Lord Uya..."
The scene just now was truly shocking. Bai clenched her small fists, her heart filled with worry. She wondered how Uya was doing now, and whether he had encountered any danger.
Even though he knew his strength might be completely useless in this situation, he still rushed there with all his might.
Finally, in front of Kimimaro and Haku, a hillside made up of countless rubble appeared.
Or rather, this is a circular mountain range formed from the debris left after the Chibaku Tensei was shattered and then completely destroyed by Uya's punch.
When Kimimaro and Haku quickly arrived at the top of the mountain range covered with rubble, they were both shocked and stunned by the scene before them.
In the middle of this circular mountain of gravel is a huge, almost bottomless pit.
Or you could call it a valley, because it's just so incredibly vast!
On one side of this valley, there is a terrifying crack that stretches outwards, cutting a gap in the circular rocky mountain range. It is a deep abyss-like chasm that seems to extend from the valley to the horizon.
On one side of the crack, Haku and Kimimaro finally saw Uya's figure.
Dressed in a white robe, without a speck of dirt or dust on him, he stood there, yet gave the impression of being in another world.
"Didn't I tell you to wait?" Uya turned to look at Haku and Kimimaro.
Meanwhile, Kimimaro and Haku remembered that Uya had just casually mentioned that he had something to do and asked them to wait a moment before witnessing this almost cataclysmic scene.
Is this... what Lord Uya was just saying he needed to do?! (To be continued.)
