Chapter 417: A Battle Beyond Comprehension

"Now it's our turn... Nagato!"

Sasuke felt the chakra fluctuations emanating from the Six Paths of Pain.

Without a doubt, in seven days, Nagato had used some method.

His power had also been enhanced.

However, this feeling gave Sasuke a sense of familiarity.

As if he had felt this kind of power somewhere before.

Sasuke carefully searched his memories, but it seemed... he couldn't find anything!

But now was not the time to think about this, as Nagato was already preparing to make his move.

"Your power has increased significantly. It seems even stronger than during the Five Kage Summit seven days ago!"

"In such a short time, you've managed to enhance your strength so much!"

"As expected of the most talented in the shinobi world!"

"But... Sasuke, don't underestimate me either. I haven't been idle either!"

Nagato's aura gradually intensified.

The chakra fluctuations grew stronger and stronger.

Sasuke smiled.

This guy was indeed strong, but compared to himself, he was still far behind!

Infinite chakra allowed Sasuke to unleash his power without restraint, and his ninjutsu and kekkei genkai had all been elevated to the highest level.

Every casual strike from Sasuke was enough to reach the level of an S-rank ninjutsu.

In this situation, no matter what Nagato had done to enhance his power, it made no difference to Sasuke.

Bang!

In an instant!

The Deva Path and Human Path of Pain simultaneously attacked.

At their extreme speed, in the eyes of the shinobi, the two were like a hurricane.

They rushed toward Sasuke at an incredible speed.

At this moment, Sasuke did not retreat. Instead, he instantly raised his fist and thrust it forward.

Crack!

A deafening roar erupted, and tangible ripples spread out. The intense vibrations in the air created wave after wave of ripples.

Before the ground could even crack, in the next second,

Sasuke's hand trembled slightly, forcing the Deva Path, which had just appeared, to retreat. At the same time, he raised his arm to block.

Crack!

Another strike blocked a mid-air kick from the Human Path.

Sasuke remained firmly in place.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes. In that instant, Sasuke grabbed the Human Path's leg with his free hand.

He flung the body away like a ball.

Before the Human Path could land, Sasuke accelerated and charged forward. His raised leg slammed the Human Path, who was still mid-air,

down to the ground.

The ground erupted with a violent roar.

A crater appeared, and cracks spread out like a spider's web.

The Human Path was instantly destroyed.

Looking up, the Deva Path had already appeared in front of him.

This time, he did not use his fists. Instead, a series of weapons burst out from his body.

Serrated blades, like a scorpion's tail, stabbed toward Sasuke.

Sasuke leaped into the air, swiftly dodging. Missiles were summoned by the Deva Path and launched from his chest.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The missiles closed in. Sasuke drew the Kusanagi Sword from his waist, the black blade gleaming with a dark light.

A thin arc of black lightning was slashed out in a semicircle.

The missiles exploded simultaneously in mid-air.

The roar of the explosion echoed.

Before the flames could dissipate, a black lightning bolt descended from the sky.

'Breath of Thunder!'

'First Form!'

'Thunderclap and Flash...'

Crackle...

Black lightning suddenly lit up.

Rip!

In the next second, the Deva Path's body was split in two.

Sasuke stopped ten meters behind the Deva Path, slowly sheathing the Kusanagi Sword.

The black lightning in his hand gradually dissipated, and the wind blew through Sasuke's hair,

causing it to drift gently.

Behind him, dust and smoke billowed, and the ground was covered in cracks.

A few seconds of battle!

A series of deafening roars had stunned all the shinobi.

They had not seen clearly what had just happened. All they saw was what seemed to be a fierce collision between the two Akatsuki members and Sasuke.

Then, one was turned into a pulp, and the other was split cleanly in two.

All the shinobi's hairs stood on end.

"What kind of battle... is this?"

"It's too fast... I couldn't see their movements at all!"

"What was with that series of explosions?"

For the average genin and chunin, this kind of battle was completely beyond their comprehension.

Only the jonin-level shinobi could barely make out the movements of the two.

In just a few seconds, such an intense battle had erupted.

"Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, with two puffs of white smoke, the Deva Path and Human Path were restored to their original state by the Naraka Path of Pain.

Sasuke didn't pay much attention, merely looking calmly at Nagato!

"Is this all the power you have?"

At this moment, Nagato's heart also tightened.

Sasuke hadn't used any ninjutsu at all. With just taijutsu and raw power, he had completely suppressed the Deva Path and Human Path.

In terms of close combat ability, these two Paths were the strongest.

Yet, even when these two strongest close-combat Paths joined forces, they couldn't pose any threat to Sasuke.

Instead, they were easily suppressed by him.

In this situation, if he wanted to continue fighting Sasuke, it seemed that this level of power wasn't enough.

"It seems that the two Paths are no match for you. I guess I'll have to get serious!"

The Deva Path spoke.

Sasuke, however, just smiled.

"Come on! Even the Six Paths of Pain pose no threat to me."

The Deva Path, Human Path, Animal Path, and Preta Path all stepped forward simultaneously. Even the Deva Path moved.

Of course, the Naraka Path remained at the back, showing no intention of joining the fight.

Sasuke's target was the Naraka Path.

'If I take this one out first, I can deal with the Six Paths of Pain!'

He drew the Kusanagi Sword, and black lightning instantly erupted.

The black lightning surged into the sky.

The black light flickered, and the terrifying roar of thunder could be heard across the entire battlefield.

The Six Paths of Pain also made their move.

In an instant, two different chakra fluctuations collided.

Sasuke's lips curled into a slight smile.

He accelerated and charged toward the nearest Deva Path.

At the same time, the Deva, Human, Animal, and Preta Paths closed in on Sasuke from four different directions.

Their speed far surpassed that of an average jonin.

The coordination of the four completely sealed off all of Sasuke's escape routes.

They swung their black rods, attacking Sasuke from all angles.

'Not bad! Your control over the Six Paths of Pain is on a completely different level now!'

Sasuke slowly crouched down.

'Breath of Thunder... Zero'

Crackle! Crackle...
