Hum!
Suddenly, the Tailed Beast Bomb explodes at close range!
The astonishing shockwave it emits instantly sweeps out, causing the air to flow backward and be absorbed and gathered in an instant.
Yet, at the moment the Tailed Beast Bomb is launched, it surges out again.
In that fleeting moment, everyone feels as though their bodies are suddenly pushed back, followed by an even stronger thrust.
It pushes everyone away.
This sensation lasts only for an instant, vanishing in a flash.
And in that instant, the Tailed Beast Bomb is launched, heading straight toward the Six Paths of Pain.
The Preta Path of Pain immediately opens its arms.
Sealing Technique: Absorbing Seal...
Hum!
The impact of the Tailed Beast Bomb, still in its acceleration phase, comes to an abrupt halt right in front of the Preta Path.
However, the energy fluctuations of the Tailed Beast Bomb are secondary.
The most important thing is that the resulting impact force is also neutralized by the Preta Path.
A red glow surges from his body for a brief moment.
Yet, in just an instant, the Preta Path slides back less than two meters, stops, and begins to frantically absorb the energy of the Tailed Beast Bomb.
Kimimaro's eyes widen as he watches the energy of the Tailed Beast Bomb being continuously devoured by what seems like a black hole in front of him.
In a matter of breaths.
The Tailed Beast Bomb he unleashed by concentrating all his chakra!
Vanishes!
The blinding light is gone!
The terrifying roar ceases!
At this moment, everyone's gaze focuses on the Preta Path.
The Six Paths of Pain!
The leader of the Akatsuki... actually blocked the Tailed Beast Bomb!
The entire battlefield suddenly falls silent.
The wind blows across the desolate ground, stirring up yellow sand, continuously sweeping it around.
And at this moment, everyone on the battlefield seems frozen in place.
They stare at the Six Paths of Pain.
These six individuals before them.
The leaders of the Akatsuki, their combat prowess is formidable, as was known before.
After all, there aren't many who can match Sasuke, even though their battle with him never officially began.
But being able to block Sasuke's ordinary attacks is already astonishing enough.
Even the Five Kage might not be able to easily withstand Sasuke's attacks now.
The leader of the Akatsuki, who are these five people by his side?
"He... blocked it..."
"That was the Tailed Beast Bomb..."
"And it was completely nullified by that seemingly overweight guy?"
"What was that just now? A white light screen that seemed to devour the Tailed Beast Bomb!"
Devour?
Ao in the crowd frowns, devour?
This feels somewhat similar to the ability that the Mizukage described Sasuke Uchiha having, the ability to absorb chakra.
Could that ability just now have been the power to absorb chakra?
It must be, the Tailed Beast Bomb is merely a mass of chakra after all.
The leader of the Akatsuki, this guy under him, can absorb chakra?
And the speed of absorption is unbelievably fast, even the Tailed Beast Bomb was absorbed instantly.
Doesn't this mean that ninjutsu attacks are completely useless against the leader of the Akatsuki?
Unless this guy is taken out?
Is that possible?
From the moment these six appeared until now, the formidable combat strength they've displayed has even easily suppressed Kimimaro.
Even rendering him completely powerless against them.
In such a situation, taking out even one of them is no simple task!
"It's over!"
The voice of the Deva Path slowly rises.
Nagato now feels the amplifying effects of the new power.
The chakra of the Tailed Beasts not only caused an explosive increase in Nagato's chakra reserves.
But the power unleashed by the Tailed Beasts' chakra also far exceeds that of ordinary chakra.
And even more astonishing is that the Tailed Beasts' chakra seems to have some enhancing effect on the Rinnegan.
And it has significantly reduced the strain on his Rinnegan.
There seems to be some mysterious connection between the Tailed Beasts and the Rinnegan.
But none of that matters, the reason for these changes is irrelevant.
What's important is that he has become stronger.
Not only can he easily capture the perfect jinchūriki of the Three-Tails, Kimimaro.
But he also has enough confidence to face Sasuke Uchiha.
Bang!
Suddenly, the Human Path and the Asura Path both move at the same time.
They immediately press the weakened Kimimaro to the ground, and in almost an instant, black rods pierce all over Kimimaro's back.
Under the interference of dozens of black rods, even if Kimimaro were to fully recover, he would be completely unable to break free from the control of the Six Paths of Pain as he did before.
"Three-Tails... capture, complete!"
And just as the Deva Path is speaking.
'Kamui!'
Instantly, space begins to distort, Nagato is momentarily stunned, and the Deva Path moves away at an astonishing speed.
The next second, the distorted space engulfs the spot where he had just been standing.
A sense of danger washes over him, and the Deva Path, stabilized under Nagato's control, slowly raises his head.
Looking towards Kakashi's direction.
And at this moment, Kakashi, clutching his Mangekyou Sharingan, is kneeling on one knee, breathing heavily.
'The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is indeed not so easy to control!'
"Oh, what a surprise, someone not from the Uchiha clan can actually wield the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan!"
"Konoha's ninja, Hatake Kakashi, it seems you truly have talent!"
"But! Do you know the consequences of interrupting me at this moment?"
As he speaks, the Deva Path slowly raises his hand.
Almighty Push.
Hum!
Kakashi's body is directly pulled towards the Deva Path.
And in this instant, Kakashi thinks to himself, this is bad!
His body, uncontrollably flying towards the enemy, is already suffering from the aftereffects of using the Mangekyou Sharingan, causing him great discomfort.
Now, being suppressed by the Almighty Push, he has even less ability to move.
'Damn it...'
Kakashi grits his teeth, but there's no way to resist.
Yet, in this moment.
Kakashi looks up, watching the lightning shuttle through the thunderclouds in the sky.
"Kakashi?"
Ōnoki and Ao want to intervene, but not only are they too late, they also have no idea what to do!
They can only watch anxiously as Kakashi flies into the enemy's hands.
A black rod shoots out from the palm of the Deva Path's left hand, and he looks at the approaching Kakashi.
"Die!"
He raises his hand, and the black rod thrusts straight towards Kakashi's heart.
It's over!
The ninjas of Konoha can't bear to watch what happens next, and they all lower their heads.
Ao and Ōnoki also close their eyes.
The massive Allied Shinobi Forces, even with fifty thousand ninjas, are utterly helpless at this moment.
They can only close their eyes in resignation.
Joy!
Crack!!
Zzzz...
Suddenly, a thunderous roar explodes.
Black lightning runs rampant.
A massive black lightning pillar descends, landing right in front of the Deva Path.
The black rod in his hand is instantly destroyed by the black lightning.
The Deva Path's eyes rapidly widen.
'Finally... you've come?'
"You've become much stronger!"
"Mr. Nagato!"
