Chapter 436: Betting on the Name of the Rinnegan

A single strike exploded directly at the center of Sasuke's Wood Release soldier forces.

The destructive power of the Super Shinra Tensei goes without saying. Although Sasuke's Wood Release soldiers are not weak, facing an attack of this magnitude, they could only be crushed.

Almost instantly, thirty thousand soldiers were annihilated.

Even the Allied Shinobi Forces suffered some degree of impact, with hundreds of casualties.

Sasuke stood among the crowd of the Allied Shinobi Forces, gazing in the direction of Kimimaro and the others.

Having suddenly been hit by a Shinra Tensei, they should be fine.

However!

They probably won't be able to withstand the next guy who follows!

A single Super Shinra Tensei directly freed the Second Mizukage, who had been sealed by Sasuke.

The Second Mizukage, having reformed his body, now roared madly at the sky!

"Damn it... damn Uchiha!"

"I... will tear you to pieces!"

The roar echoed across the entire battlefield. The shinobi of the Allied Shinobi Forces, especially those from Kirigakure, felt a sense of foreboding upon hearing this.

Their Second Mizukage had broken free. They should have been happy, but there seemed to be little to celebrate.

With a large swath of Wood Release soldiers instantly wiped out, the shinobi's vision could now directly pass through the empty crater.

They looked to the other side, where the Second Mizukage stood at the edge of the massive crater.

Suddenly, a black figure descended from the sky.

A black robe with red cloud patterns.

Akatsuki!

Are there still members of Akatsuki?

The sound of rustling paper echoed in the wind as the shinobi looked up at the sky.

They stared at Konan, who had suddenly appeared in the sky, her wings spread like an angel descending.

All the shinobi were momentarily stunned.

'An angel?'

Upon closer inspection, however, they realized that Konan's wings were formed from gathered paper, not those of a real angel.

But what kind of technique is this?

To manipulate paper like this...

The paper swirling around Konan seemed alive, like larks continuously circling and dancing around her.

Nagato landed in the center of the crater, looking at the Wood Release soldiers positioned at the edges.

"There are so many of them..."

A single Super Shinra Tensei had only cleared a small portion.

There were still so many Wood Release soldiers left.

But!

Nagato's lips curled into a slight smile.

To him, numbers were now meaningless.

Nagato sensed Sasuke's chakra. Surrounded by the Allied Shinobi Forces, Sasuke shone as brightly as a firefly in the night.

"I've come! I've come personally, Uchiha Sasuke. This time... can you defeat me?"

As he spoke, a cold smile spread across Nagato's face.

The next second.

Boom!

A deafening explosion suddenly erupted at the edge of the crater.

Accompanied by the terrifying sound of raging lightning, a large group of Wood Release soldiers was effortlessly mowed down like straw.

In just this one strike, thousands of Wood Release soldiers were annihilated.

And within the lightning...

A figure slowly emerged, causing the shinobi of the Allied Forces who could see it to choke in shock.

"This... this is..."

If shinobi from other villages were unsure, those from Kumogakure could confirm it.

The person who had suddenly appeared and attacked Sasuke's soldiers was using a technique... from Kumogakure's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

And it seemed even more powerful than the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Darui's eyes trembled as he stared at the figure.

'Is it possible?'

'How?'

'It can't be...'

'Another Edo Tensei? Damn it, even our Kumo's...'

Zzzzt!

"Hmph! What are these things? There are so many of them!"

"Whatever, it doesn't matter. I don't care about the numbers!"

The smoke slowly dissipated.

The person who appeared amidst the Wood Release soldiers was none other than the Third Raikage!

His body surged with even more intense Lightning Release chakra. Seeing this, the shinobi of the Allied Forces held their breath.

Compared to the Fourth Raikage, the Third Raikage was even more legendary. He had once single-handedly fought against a force of 100,000 Iwa shinobi before finally falling from exhaustion.

And now!

He had been reanimated through Edo Tensei. Considering the undying, monstrous abilities of Edo Tensei shinobi...

Didn't that mean this... this man was now an unbound, terrifying beast?

Swish, swish, swish!

On the other side, a wave of golden sand surged forth, instantly crushing a large group of Wood Release soldiers.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, also reanimated through Edo Tensei, stood atop the golden sand with his arms crossed.

"Fourth Kazekage, Lord Rasa!"

The shinobi of Sunagakure exclaimed in shock!

And this wasn't the end.

A beam of white light instantly pierced through the main force of Wood Release soldiers.

In an instant, thousands of wooden soldiers were annihilated. Then, slowly descending from the air was the Second Tsuchikage, Mu.

Four Kage!

Four Kage had been reanimated through Edo Tensei. Akatsuki... had actually done something like this. Damn it... using the power of the dead was utterly unforgivable!

Yet, for some reason, the shinobi of the Allied Forces felt a sense of relief.

Although the Kage of their villages were under Akatsuki's control, their main enemy was clearly... Uchiha Sasuke.

This meant their own burden had lightened significantly.

Thinking this, everyone visibly relaxed.

"Bandage guy! You're back too?"

The Second Mizukage below spoke, while the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, floating in the air, sighed. "You look like you've been beaten pretty badly!"

This comment immediately darkened the Second Mizukage's expression.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, asked, "What's with this shinobi formation? Why are shinobi from different villages together?"

He turned to look at the strange wooden soldiers surrounding them. "And what are these? There are so many!"

The Third Raikage added, "It seems... another great shinobi war has broken out, and this time, it's even more intense!"

The four Kage slowly moved toward a single location not by their own will, but because they were being controlled to gather in one direction.

That direction was where Nagato stood.

As the four Kage arrived behind Nagato, he slowly raised his head, his Rinnegan suddenly unleashing an overwhelming pressure.

Nagato took a deep breath.

The four Kage behind him were all observing Nagato's back.

And the next second!

Suddenly, the four Kage were stunned.

Because Nagato suddenly let out a furious roar.

"Uchiha... Sasuke..."

"I!!!!"

"Have come!"

"At your request, I've come personally. Now..."

"With the name of the Rinnegan at stake, I... Uzumaki Nagato, will absolutely defeat you!"

His roar echoed across the entire battlefield. Sasuke, who had been sighing, suddenly smiled.

The members of the Konoha 12 around him were all stunned.

Uzumaki Nagato?

The Rinnegan?

Who is this guy? He has the Rinnegan too?

They had just defeated six Rinnegan users. How could there be another one now?
