Kisame

Nagato didn't say a word, and rushed towards Rasa with lightning speed. A black chakra rod appeared in his sleeve again, and he stabbed forward without hesitation.

At this moment, time seemed to stop.

Under Konan's terrified eyes and Rasa's unbelievable eyes—

'Puff.'

The black chakra rod in Nagato's hand stabbed into Konan's heart, pierced through her body, then stabbed at Rasa standing behind her, and finally stretched out from Rasa's back.

Double kill.

"Nagato..."

Xiao Nan's lips parted slightly, as she called Nagato's name softly, but she didn't have the strength to say more.

"Konan, I have wronged you. There are enemies everywhere, it's too dangerous, so I will send you to the underworld to accompany Yahiko for a while. Don't worry, when I solve all the hidden dangers, I will resurrect you and Yahiko, and let both of you stay together with me forever."

Nagato stared at Konan, reached out to touch the latter's cheek, and said softly.

He knew that with Yahiko and Konan here, he couldn't let go. In this case, it is better to simply kill the two of them first, and then resurrect them later.

'Puff!'

After Nagato finished speaking, he pulled back the black chakra rod, followed by a white snake that emerged from the robe behind him, which opened its mouth wide and swallowed Konan's body.

As for Rasa, he was clutching his blood dripping chest and took a few steps back, shakily.

"Nagato, you are really cruel...you won."

After he said this to Nagato, he fell on his back on the street with a thud, and died.

"Kazekage-sama is dead!"

Seeing this scene, Rasa's subordinates said with trembling tones, and no longer wanted to fight, they turned around and fled.

'Humph.'

Nagato's figure flashed as he hunted them, one could only hear screams one after another. After a while, almost all the Suna ninjas were killed by him like chickens, and only a few people escaped.

Nagato didn't go after these stray fish. Anyway, in his plan, in the near future, there will be no Sunagakure in the ninja world.

Because, he will personally enter Sunagakure and will completely eliminate it.

"Nagato, you killed so many people, even Yahiko and Konan, isn't that enough? When will you stop?"

At this moment, a deep and angry voice came from behind Nagato.

"Jiraiya-Sensei, the way to stop me is actually very simple. It is to defeat me. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Nagato turned around and saw Jiraiya entering the sage mode. The latter's face has been transformed into a frog, and the two sages Fukasaku and Shima integrated on the left and right shoulders.

"Nagato, from now on, I will not show mercy. Even if you were my most beloved disciple, even if you were the son of prophecy, I will go all out...to kill you."

Jiraiya spoke slowly, showing his determination.

"That's much better."

Nagato smiled as he stared at Jiraiya with a fire in his eyes, and declared ambitiously, "Jiraiya-sensei, you are only the first enemy I will defeat. Then, I will go to the Land of Water to kill Hoshigaki Kisame. His head will be sent to the Ryuchi Cave and dedicated it to the White Snake Sage. After that, I will fulfill the responsibility of the son of prophecy, by unifying the entire ninja world, and bring true peace to this world!"

His remarks, sonorous and powerful, full of strong self-confidence, let everyone know what he is thinking.

Including Kisame.

First defeat the Sage mode Jiraiya, then kill the Demi-God Hoshigaki Kisame, and finally unite the ninja world.

If any other teenage boy said this, he would only be regarded as a lunatic, but it was Nagato.

He not only has the Sage body, but also has the Rinnegan. He is the "Son of Prophecy" from Gamamaru's dream, and he is also the successor personally selected by the white snake sage.

He is the chosen one.

Nagato's three goals seem to be more difficult than the other, but in fact, he only needs to complete the first two.

After all, as long as he can defeat Jiraiya and Kisame, it means that in the entire ninja world, no one is his opponent anymore.

At that time, unifying the entire ninja world will become a matter of course, and no one or force can hinder Nagato.

Now, standing in front of Nagato is his first target: Sage mode Jiraiya.

Kisame watched all this from the dark.

The Nagato in front of him, his legs are not paralyzed, and he has also learned the senjutsu of the Ryuchi cave. Compared with the bony Nagato in the anime, who is sitting in a wheelchair, it can be said that they are completely two different people.

'I don't know how much Nagato has grown during this period of time, and can he defeat Jiraiya?'

Kisame thought, intending to enjoy the next battle of Sages.

At the same time, he was also ready to make a sneak attack. After all, as Nagato said, after defeating Jiraiya, he will go to the Land of Water to cut off his head, fulfilling his promise to the White Snake Sage.

Kisame won't sit still during this fight if he has a chance.

On the street.

"Nagato, you have lost yourself in the process of pursuing strength. Even if you unify the entire ninja world, it is impossible to bring peace to this world this way, only death and Chaos will come. Therefore, whether as your teacher , or as the fourth Hokage, I will do my best to stop you!"

Jiraiya's eyes were firm as he responded to Nagato's declaration.

"Do you want to stop me by talking? It's useless to talk too much, just do it! For the sake of you being my teacher, I'll give you a chance to take action first."

Nagato displayed a strong self-confidence.

"Boss, eldest sister, we're going first." Jiraiya frowned and raised his hands, ready to seal the seal.

"Little Jiraiya, you have to fight carefully, this battle can only be won but not lost. We Mount Myoboku must not lose to the Ryuchi cave."

Shima knocked on Jiraiya's head and warned.

"Shima, don't put pressure on Jiraiya. Let's do our best to help him defeat this tricky opponent." Fukasaku said helplessly.

"Up!"

Jiraiya shouted loudly as he quickly formed a seal, and then fell to the ground like a toad.

In the next second, Jiraiya's long white hair stood up, becoming long and hard, and aimed at Nagato, and fired out with a "hhhhhhhhh".

Senpo: Needle Jizo.

This jutsu, after turning Jiraiya's hair into needles, shoots at the enemy like a storm. Not only is it extremely fast, but it also has a wide range of attack, making it unavoidable for the enemy.

In the face of the attacking thousands of hair needles, Nagato was extremely calm, he only stretched a hand forward, and coldly spit out: "Shinra Tensei!"

As soon as his voice fell, a powerful repulsive force erupted from his body, and all the needles bounced off, leaving him unscathed.

But at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly appeared above Nagato's head.

It turned out that Jiraiya had jumped atop of Nagato's head while he was defending. At some point in his palm, a Rasengan that was dozens of times larger than ordinary Rasengan appeared, emitting strong chakra fluctuations.

Senpo: Odama Rasengan.

Jiraiya used Needle Jizo as a test, just to lure Nagato to use Shinra Tensei, because he already knew that every time the latter technique was activated, there was a cooldown period of several seconds.

Therefore, Jiraiya seized this opportunity decisively, and directly resorted to using his unique move, intending to defeat Nagato in one fell swoop.

Nagato saw the Odama Rasengan falling from the sky, his pupils dilated, and his body was immediately submerged in the ground.

'It hit?'

Jiraiya had a happy expression on his face, but he immediately felt that something was wrong.

'Chi Chi Chi.'

He saw Nagato open his hands and pressed it on the Odama Rasengan. As his Rinnegan emitted strange fluctuations, his palms also emitted a strong suction, which quickly absorbed the Chakra in Rasengan.

During this process, the Rasengan became smaller and smaller, from three meters in diameter to two meters in diameter, one meter in diameter... and soon disappeared completely.

"Little Jiraiya, be careful!" "Quickly retreat!"

The two sages on his shoulders reminded Jiraiya, he was startled, but he jumped back, and retreated dozens of meters away.

"My Rasengan was absorbed by him. Is it an ability of the Ryuchi Cave's senjutsu, or the ability of Rinnegan?"

Jiraiya murmured, and then discussed with the two sages, and attacked again.

So, Jiraya and two toads formed seals at the same time, and then each opened their mouths and spit out an unprecedentedly powerful combination of ninjutsu.

The Heat Of The Sage Art: Bath Of Boiling Oil.

'Wooo.'

The oil spit out from Jiraiya's mouth was mixed with Fukasaku's wind release, and Shima's fire release, forming a large-scale sea of fire like magma.

This sea of fire flooded the entire street, rushing towards Nagato like a tsunami, burning and engulfing everything along the way.

But Nagato was still very calm, he once again stretched out his arms forward, facing the raging fire with a pair of palms.

The weird scene happened again.

'Chi Chi Chi.'

Nagato's palm exuded huge suction force, as if it was a bottomless black hole, swallowing the sea of fire completely, leaving not even a spark on the street.

Seeing this scene, Jiraiya's face changed drastically, and his pupils suddenly contracted. The two Sages on his shoulders also became extremely solemn.

The jutsu he used just now had forced Hoshigaki Kisame, who was in Satori form, retreat on the battlefield, making the latter fearful. But now facing Nagato, it is of no use at all.

"Little Jiraiya, don't use ninjutsu anymore. All your ninjutsu attacks will be absorbed by that guy, and the final result will not only be a waste of your chakra, but also replenish his chakra."

Fukasaku guessed what happened and warned Jiraiya.

"I see." Jiraiya nodded solemnly.

He guessed right.

The move Nagato used is called Fūjutsu Kyūin, it is one of the abilities of Rinnegan.

This technique, by reversing the chakra cycle in the body, can absorb the enemy's ninjutsu chakra and turn it into one's own.

In the anime, the Pretha Path, one of the six paths of Pain, inherited this ability.

However, after the Pretha Path absorbed Naruto's Senjutsu chakra, he was petrified and turned into a frog under the influence of natural energy. But this cannot happen to Nagato.

Because, like Jiraiya, he is a Sage and can perfectly control the natural energy.

"Jiraiya-Sensei, why did you stop attacking? Are you helpless? If that's the case, then it's my turn."

Nagato sneered lightly, and then extended a hand to Jiraiya.

Bansho Tenin.

'Buzz.'

Jiraiya was suddenly pulled by a gravitational force, his feet lifted off the ground, and his body flew towards Nagato uncontrollably.

Seeing that Jiraiya was about to hit the black chakra stick in Nagato's hand at a very fast speed, Shima suddenly opened his mouth.

'Swiiii.'

Her tongue quickly protruded from her mouth and struck Nagato like lightning.

This long tongue infused with Senjutsu chakra has reached the limit of hardness, and it can cut rocks, not to mention the human body.

'Um?'

Nagato was startled and quickly dodged to the side, dodging the tongue. But at the same time, his Bansho Tenin was also interrupted, allowing Jiraiya to regain his mobility.

"Little Jiraiya, attack right now!"

Fukasaku shouted, and continued to attack Nagato with his long tongue. Not only it, even Fukasaku also opened his mouth and continuously fired water bombs at Nagato.

Immediately afterwards, Jiraiya rushed in front of Nagato and launched a hurricane-like taijutsu attacks on the latter.

Since ninjutsu doesn't work, he will defeat Nagato with taijutsu.

After all, there are three "people" on Jiraiya's side, and with three-on-one, they have a great advantage in close combat.

Sure enough, Nagato quickly fell into a panic in the face their attacks, and retreated steadily because he had no time to parry.

"Nagato!"

While fighting, Jiraiya shouted as he seized a flaw in Nagato's defence, and punched the latter in the face with a vigorous punch.

Nagato's pupils shrank as he subconsciously tilted his head to the side and avoided it.

But the next moment.

'Boom!'

A fist mark appeared on Nagato's face, and half of his face was sunken and deformed. He flew upside down for dozens of meters. After hitting a roadside pole, he rolled on the ground for a dozen laps before stopping.

"We succeeded!"

Jiraiya was very excited.

His punch just now, although it didn't seem to hit Nagato, actually gathered natural energy near the fist of his hand in advance, which invisibly expanded the attack range of the fist.

Therefore, Nagato just dodged Jiraiya's fist, but not the natural energy around the fist, and was hit hard.

'Whoosh.'

Jiraiya chased after him, wanting to take down Nagato in one go, but the latter's fighting ability obviously exceeded his expectations, as Nagato stood up from the ground.

"Spit!"

Nagato spat out a mouthful of blood and rubbed the half of his face that was hit by Jiraiya. In just a few seconds, the wound on his face was healed.

"How is this possible?"

Jiraiya's expression became more and more solemn. Nagato's self-healing reminded him of the God of Ninjas, Senju Hashirama, which is so similar to what is happening in front of him.

"Jiraiya-Sensei, do you know why I didn't use the ability of the Rinnegan just now? Because I want to prove that even if I only use taijutsu, I am stronger than you."

Nagato stared at Jiraiya and said smoothly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he tore off the Akatsuki robes from his body.

His half-human, half-snake body was completely displayed in front of Jiraiya.

His head has a pair of double horns, his body is covered with hard scales but is soft and flexible, and there is a living white snake tail behind him.

"Nagato, is this the path you chose? Don't you realize that the human part of you is disappearing, replaced by the cold blood and cruelty of snakes?"

Jiraiya said solemnly, the expression on his face was not only shocked, but also one of heartache.

In his opinion, Nagato's personality has changed so much because he must have been influenced by this snake body.

However, Nagato shook his head, grinning quitely, and said to Jiraiya:

"Sensei, you are wrong. Compared to your crappy Sage mode, I am the perfect form. Not only can I absorb natural energy anytime and anywhere, but also have the wisdom of a human and the agility of a snake in my body, and it's evolving every second."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his center of gravity abruptly, swam on the ground like a snake, and attacked Jiraiya.

The two fought again.

Only this time, the situation was reversed.

Nagato, who completely let go of his restraints, used his Sage body's flexible and bizarre taijutsu to suppress Jiraiya and two toads and gained the upper hand.

Soon.

During the battle, Jiraiya's arm was bitten by Nagato's white snake tail that injected him with paralyzing toxin, making his body still.

Nagato seized the opportunity and attacked with a forceful kick, sending Jiraiya flying out and falling on the other side of the street.

'Da da da.'

Nagato's crisp footsteps resounded on the empty street, as he approached Jiraiya step by step.

"Jiraiya-Sensei, your ninjutsu and taijutsu are not able to deal with me. If you have any other means, hurry up and use them. However, I advise you not to use genjutsu, because in front of my eyes, your genjutsu that is normally very powerful is useless."

As he walked towards Jiraiya, he said calmly.

'Damn.'

Jiraiya cursed in his heart and decided to call in some helpers. So, he bit his finger and pressed his palm to the ground.

'Bang! Bang! Bang!'

Three giant toads nearly twenty meters tall appeared on the streets of Amegakure.

They are Gamabunta, who recovered from his injuries and made a comeback, Gamaken, who is holding a harpoon and a shield and looks stupid, and Gamahiro, who holds his chest with his hands and carries two swords on his back.

The toad trio.

"Summoning jutsu? I have it too."

Nagato's eyes flickered, apparently not having enough fun and not wanting to deal with Jiraiya so quickly, so he also cast a seal, and with a "bang" a few big snakes were summoned from the Ryuchi Cave.

"Today is a good day, there is snake soup to eat tonight."

Gamabunta spit out a smoke ring from his mouth and said.

As soon as he said that, he took out the short blade from his waist and rushed towards the big snakes first. Gamaken and Gamahiro followed closely from behind.

'Boom! boom! boom!'

The toads and snakes fought fiercely on the streets of Amegakure. Their huge bodies rolled over and almost destroyed half of the buildings of Amegakure.

Earth style: Dark Swamp!

Jiraiya seized the opportunity and created a huge swamp that stretched for 100 meters, and instantly caused the large snakes to fall into it. The more they struggled, the deeper they sank in the swamp.

"Good chance!"

The toad trio swarmed up immediately, waving the weapons in their hands, hacking several big snakes to death, cutting them into dozens of pieces, and rolling down the streets.

After eliminating Nagato's summoned beast, three big toads surrounded Nagato and stared at him.

They didn't notice that Nagato slowly raised his hands, and a black ball appeared between his hands...

A light flashed in Nagato's eyes.

The black ball of light ten centimeters in diameter rose from his hands and quickly floated into the sky.

"What is that?"

Jiraiya noticed the black light ball, and instinctively felt bad, and hurriedly shouted to Gamabunta and his two brothers: "Gamabunta, retreat!"

But it's too late.

"Chibaku Tensei!"

Nagato put his hands together and shouted loudly. After the black ball of light rose to a height of tens of meters above the ground, an unimaginably powerful gravitational force suddenly appeared.

This gravitational force is more than 100 times stronger than the Bansho Tenin that Nagato used before!

Then-

'Rumble.'

The toad trio suddenly discovered that the ground under their feet was cracking in a large area, turning into rocks of different sizes. Not only that, the buildings on both sides of the street also cracked from the top and turned into ruins.

These rocks and broken walls were attracted by the black ball of light, and they quickly floated up and flew to the sky.

"No, let's go!"

Gamabunta quickly turned around and shouted to his brothers, but as soon as he finished speaking, he flew off the ground with his feet off the ground with a look of panic.

At this moment, the toad trio lost control of their bodies, their limbs struggled weakly in the air, just like drowning people, together with those rocks and ruins, they were attracted to the black ball in the sky.

"Little Jiraiya, don't get close! Otherwise, you will also be sucked into that black ball."

On the other side, just as he was about to step forward to rescue the Toad trio, Shima stopped him with a solemn expression.

"If I'm not mistaken, this jutsu that Nagato used just now was once used by The Sage of Six Paths. Gamamaru once mentioned that the Sage of Six Paths used this jutsu to seal the Gedo Statue and create the moon in the sky."

Fukasaku stared at the black ball in the air and said slowly.

"What, created... the moon?!"

Hearing this, Jiraiya became shocked, unable to imagine what kind of mighty power it was.

"It's Chibaku Tensei. Gamabunta and others are in danger." Shima seemed very anxious, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only watch.

Under the watchful eyes of Jiraiya and the two sages, the rocks and buildings that rose from the ground to mid-air finally surrounded the black light sphere, forming a sphere with a diameter of more than 100 meters, similar to a huge meteorite.

Just like this, it floated quietly in the sky above Amegakure.

The toad trio were all trapped in that huge sphere, completely losing their ability to move, and they didn't know whether they are alive or not.

Although Nagato's power is far from comparable to the legendary Sage of Six Paths, the Chibaku Tensei he created is shocking enough.

"No, we have to find a way to break that sphere and rescue Gamabunta and others!"

After discussing with the two sages on the shoulders, Jiraiya prepared to work together to use a combination senjutsu, and smash the ball with a powerful external force, and releasing the toad trio.

However, Nagato would not give him this chance.

"Jiraiya-Sensei, you should be too busy to take care of yourself, how can saving those toads?"

Nagato rushed to Jiraiya with a mocking expression on his face.

As soon as he finished speaking, he squatted down abruptly, pressed his hands to the ground, and surging natural energy rushed out of his body, covering the entire street.

Next second.

The ground at the foot of Nagato seemed to have suddenly come to life, and the sounds of "crashing" and "banging" came from the ground, as if the blood in the human body was flowing through the blood vessels, producing a strong pulse sound.

Not only that, the water on the ground, the trees and poles on the roadside, and the buildings next to the street all came alive at this moment, rumbling and twisting and changing into various shapes.

'What is this?'

While Jiraiya paled in shock, the ground beneath his feet suddenly turned into a huge mouth, which was about to swallow him.

Fortunately, Jiraiya reacted fast enough and jumped into the air ahead of time, but then, the ground and the surfaces of the buildings on both sides of the street swelled with spikes, running towards him like a torrential rain.

At this moment, everything on the entire street seemed to have life, and a frantic attack was launched towards Jiraiya from all directions.

'Whoosh.'

Jiraiya tried desperately to dodge, but under the siege with no dead ends, there was no way to avoid it, and he was quickly injured.

'Swish swish.'

Nagato manipulated dozens of spikes, passing through Jiraiya's armpits, between his legs, and other gaps in his body, forming a spiked cage that completely trapped the latter.

Jiraiya can't move now.

Under Jiraiya's almost desperate eyes, Nagato slowly walked up to him.

"The trick I used just now is called Inorganic Reincarnation, and only those who have perfectly mastered the Ryuchi Cave's Senjutsu can use it. Simply put, it is a jutsu that gives life to lifeless inorganic things and controls them. As you can see, I made my surroundings come alive and fight for me."

Nagato said to Jiraiya in a slightly showy tone, and finally announced, "This battle is over, I won. Today, the Ryuchi Cave defeated Mount Myoboku."

Hearing this, Jiraiya showed a wry smile and said resignedly:

"Go ahead, Nagato, give me a quick death. But please don't hurt the two sages, Fukasaku and Shima. They are the elders under the Great Toad Sage. Once they die, it is likely to cause a full-scale war between Ryuchi cave and Mount Myoboku. I don't think even the White Snake Sage would want to see this situation."

"Little Jiraiya..." Both Fukasaku and Shima choked up.

"As expected of Jiraiya-Sensei, this spirit of self-sacrifice is really admirable."

Nagato praised sincerely, and then said in a victorious manner, "Don't worry, I won't kill these two toads. And, for the sake of the things between you and me, I won't kill you this time either. But as for those three big toads..."

When he said this, he glanced at the terrestrial star in the sky, and added in a tough tone that could not be defied:

"They killed the big snakes of the Ryuchi Cave and must stay to pay for their lives."

"Nagato...Is there really no room for negotiation, can you let Gamabunta and the others go?"

Jiraiya couldn't bear to see the Toad trio killed, and was still trying to save their lives.

"Jiraiya, I warn you not to go too far."

Nagato's eyes suddenly turned cold, and there was no longer the word "Sensei" while he addressed Jiraiya, "I spared your life this time to repay the kindness you have given to me. Take your people and go back to Konoha, next time we meet on the battlefield, I won't be merciful anymore."

He then waved his hand, and all the spikes around Jiraiya's body receded, allowing him to regain his freedom.

'Thump.'

Jiraiya, who was covered in injuries, fell to the ground on his knees, unable to stand up for a while.

Seeing this scene, Konoha ninjas approached cautiously. They were terrified of Nagato making a move on them but they steeled themselves and helped Jiraiya by treating him while keeping an eye on Nagato..

"What?"

Suddenly, a strange chakra appeared within Nagato's perception range.

This chakra aura is very obscure, it has been hidden very well before, and Nagato has never noticed it.

But now that he has ended the battle with Jiraiya, with the dual blessing of Rinnegan and Sage Mode, after scanning the entire Amegakure with his perception ability, he immediately discovered this chakra.

"Someone could hide under my nose for so long."

Nagato murmured as he turned around in surprise, and looked at a building not far away.

Next second.

With a wave of his hand, he activated the nearby natural energy, and launched the inorganic reincarnation jutsu, turning the water on the ground into water snakes.

Driven by Nagato, these water snakes moved at an extremely fast speed like arrows from a string, and all of them poured into the building.

'It should be dead with this, right?'

After obliterating the other party, Nagato withdrew his gaze and ignored it.

In his opinion, the hidden Chakra is nothing more than a spy or spy of some other force. He has no interest, and there is no need to know the specific identity and appearance of the other party, he would just kill it directly.

However, Nagato soon realized that he was wrong.

'Shhhhhh!'

Those water snakes that were given life by Nagato rushed into the building, and under his surprised eyes, they flew out at a faster speed, fell to the ground, and turned into a pool of water on the ground again.

Then.

'Da da da.'

With the sound of footsteps, a figure walked out from that corner unhurriedly and appeared in Nagato's field of vision.

"Orochimaru?"

After seeing the appearance of the other party, Nagato was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned.

'No, he is not Orochimaru.'

Orochimaru has been frightened by him and escaped from the Ryuchi Cave, and will never appear in front of him again, unless the guy is impatient and wants to die.

Nagato narrowed his eyes, and the Rinnegan flashed lightly, as if he could see through all the falsehoods in the world.

Sure enough, he found out that the other party actually used a very clever transformation jutsu, to become Orochimaru

Fake Orochimaru.

Nagato sneered silently, and since the other party actually took the initiative to walk into the area covered by his Sage art, there was not much to do that what he earlier did.

'Since you are so eager to find death, then I will fulfill you.'

Nagato folded his hands together and launched the Inorganic Reincarnation jutsu with all his strength, he was even more serious than when he was dealing with Jiraiya.

In an instant, all the inorganic substances within a radius of 100 meters came to life under Nagato's control. They transformed into various forms and rushed towards "Orochimaru".

'Ha ha.'

Orochimaru, or Kisame, sneered in the face of Nagato's Inorganic Reincarnation jutsu.

This technique is indeed very powerful, but it is not without a loophole.

After Kisame quickly formed the seal, he slapped his palm to the ground.

Senpo: Deep forest emergence.

'Rumble.'

In an instant, with the shaking of the earth, the seeds of the sleeping trees were awakened and grew into large trees, rising from the ground and growing wildly upwards.

A dense forest formed.

'Puff puff puff.'

All attacks from all directions were blocked by the woods. Not only that, this forest is still spreading outwards, even assimilating the ground and buildings controlled by Nagato, causing trees to grow on their surfaces, and then being controlled by Kisame.

Fight natural energy with natural energy.

The way that Kisame cracked the Inorganic Reincarnation jutsu is to use the Mokuton Deep forest emergence injected with more natural energy to compete with Nagato for control of the surrounding environment.

In terms of chakra, Kisame has never lost to anyone in the current era.

So, with trees growing on every corner of the street, Kisame easily won the first round.

'Rustle.'

The trees automatically separated to the sides, making way for Kisame. He still walked out of the woods unhurriedly, approaching Nagato step by step, exuding a strong sense of oppression all over his body.

Nagato's expression finally changed.

At this time, he has realized that this new opponent is definitely not a trash, but an enemy that is even more difficult to deal with than Jiraiya.

Especially the calm attitude of the other party, in his eyes, is too arrogant and unbearable.

"Bansho Tenin!"

With a cold shout, not being able to stand Kisame's pretence, Nagato directly used Bansho Tenin to let the latter fly towards him with his feet off the ground.

Kisame was dragged off the ground by Bansho Tenin, and it seemed that he couldn't move his hands and feet, and couldn't make a seal, but there was still no panic on his face.

Next second.

'Seish!'

Kisame opened his mouth, and the Kusanagi sword shot out of his mouth like lightning. It grew more than ten meters long in an instant, and went straight to Nagato's throat.

'Um?'

Nagato was startled, but he didn't panic. He directly reached out to grab the blade of the sword, stopping the tip of the sword ten centimeters away from his throat.

'It's just a mere sword. With his sage body, he can catch it with his bare hands...'

"Hiss!"

Nagato suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air, as an unspeakable pain emerged from the palm of his hand, which even he couldn't bear, so he had to let go of his blood-filled hand.

His palm was cut by Kusanagi sword, and his flesh was ruptured.

'Puff.'

Nagato tried his best to dodge, even though he was not stabbed in the throat, his left shoulder suffered, and he was pierced by the Kusanagi sword, and the blood rushed violently.

He was injured one after another and the chakra in his body was disturbed, thereby Bansho Tenin was also forcibly interrupted.

'Whoosh.'

Nagato finally panicked, clutching his left shoulder and jumped back, trying to temporarily avoid Kisame's sword.

Naturally, Kisame took advantage of the situation to pursue, and with the Kusanagi sword, he chased up and launched a series of attacks on Nagato.

Nagato endured the severe pain, stretched out a black chakra rod from his sleeve, and fought fiercely with Kisame.

'Clang clang clang.'

The Kusanagi Sword and the black rod collided continuously, producing dazzling sparks, and accompanied by the sound of steel beating itself, it spread far away and echoed on the street.

'What happened?'

While fighting Kisame, Nagato soon discovered that every attack of his was seen through by the opponent and all of them failed.

His opponent seemed to have the ability to read minds.

So, under Kisame's fierce attack, Nagato gradually couldn't stand it and retreated step by step. In the process, there were several more wounds on his body. With blood flowing, he depicted a very sorry figure.

A moment later.

Finally, Kisame seized one of Nagato's biggest flaws, dodged to the latter's side, and dropped his sword.

'Swish.'

Nagato's tail was cut off on the spot by Kisame and it fell to the ground.

On the street, a white snake struggled and twitched on the ground, and soon stopped moving.

This white snake is Nagato's tail, it can also be said to be his third leg, and it is an important organ for him to absorb natural energy. Now being cut off by Kisame's sword, it is definitely a heavy blow for Nagato.

Nagato screamed in pain, and finally realized that even if he had the body of an Sage, he was still no match for the person in front of him in terms of taijutsu.

'What kind of monster is this guy?'

He endured the severe pain, and retreated sharply, temporarily distanced himself from Kisame.

'Swiii.'

Kisame threw out the Kusanagi sword in his hand, and manipulated it to stab Nagato's heart.

'Shinra Tensei!'

Nagato activated his Shinra Tensei without hesitation, creating a strong repulsion force, and released it through the palms of his hands that stretched forward.

'Buzz.'

The Kusanagi sword, which came forward like lightning, was immediately affected by this power, became still in the air and trembled violently.

Next second.

'Swooo.'

The Kusanagi sword bounced backwards and flew out, circling in the air for several times, and finally returned to Kisame's hand.

Kisame opened his mouth and swallowed the sword to reintegrate it with his body. Then, he slammed his feet on the ground, like an angry bull, and charged towards Nagato in person.

In the face of Kisame that moved again, Nagato made up his mind not to fight with him in close quarters, and fortunately he had Shinra Tensei.

As long as there is this technique, no one will be able to approach his body.

'Shinra Tensei!'

Seeing Kisame rush over, Nagato released the repulsion force again, trying to knock the former flying.

This time, however, he miscalculated.

'Boom.'

Kisame felt a strong repulsive force coming towards him, like a tenth-level gale, blowing him off the ground and flying backwards. His entire face was deformed by this repulsive force, and his clothes were rattling.

However, Kisame's legs seemed to be rooted, firmly planted on the ground, moving forward step by step against Shinra Tensei.

Shinra Tensei also has a limit.

With the powerful physique formed by devouring a large number of ninja tools, Kisame withstood the impact of this technique and cracked it.

'How is this possible?'

Nagato was stunned, looking at the ferocious Kisame in front of him, like a devil descended into the world, his inner fear spread.

Next moment.

'Whoosh.'

Kisame suddenly stretched out his right arm, forcibly penetrated the invisible barrier created by Shinra Tensei's repulsion, and grabbed Nagato's neck and tightened his fingers.

Nagato suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation, and rolled his eyes back, seeing that he was about to be strangled to death by Kisame.

"Haaaaa!"

At the time of life and death, his potential exploded again, and the blue veins on his face burst out. With a loud roar from Nagato, the Rinnegan widened in anger, and the power of Shinra Tensei was further strengthened.

'Boom.'

Kisame finally couldn't resist, and was forced to let go of the hand that was holding Nagato's neck. He bounced upside down and flew out, knocked down a wall with a bang, and was buried by the rubble.

But Nagato wasn't much better. He covered his neck that was strangled blue, took a few steps back, and finally knelt on the ground and coughed violently for a while before he recovered.

So far, in this contest between the two sides, Nagato, who was invincible and almost unbeatable before, can be said to be suppressed everywhere, not only did he not get any advantage, he almost lost his life.

Such a result not only shocked Nagato, the party involved, but also Konoha ninjas who were watching from a distance.

From the perspective of Jiraiya and others, the one who fought Nagato was Orochimaru.

Previously, in the valley outside Amegakure, Orochimaru showed great power and summoned the wooden golem, who was 100 meters high, and used his own strength to repel the pursuit of Konohagakure and Sunagakure .

Now, he's back in Amegakure, and he has the upper hand in the battle with Nagato, the son of prophecy.

'Is Orochimaru really that powerful?'

Jiraiya's eyes stared at Orochimaru who stood up from the ruins, and he couldn't help but have some doubts about the latter's identity.

But right now, that kind of thing doesn't matter.

"Little Jiraiya, take advantage of the fight between Orochimaru and Nagato, and quickly seize the opportunity and prepare to use that technique."

At this moment, Shima quickly urged Jiraiya.

"She is right, this is a good opportunity. As long as you can use that technique, you might be able to profit of the fisherman and catch those two guys in one net."

Fukasaku eyes lit up and agreed.

"Boss, eldest sister, what are you talking about..." Jiraiya's pupils dilated, and he had already guessed it in his heart.

"Kaeru Kaeru no Jutsu!"

While Jiraiya and the toads were conspiring, not far away, Nagato put his hands on the ground and stood up again.

He stared at the "Orochimaru" opposite.

In the process of fighting with this person, Nagato has discovered that the other party, like him, is full of natural energy in his body. Based on this alone, this person will definitely not be Orochimaru.

'Combined with a series of means and abilities displayed by him... Could it be him?'

In Nagato's mind, a bolt from the blue flashed, and the image of a tall and burly man in a suit and shoes appeared.

Hoshigaki Kisame k.

It can only be him!

Except for Kisame, Nagato really can't think of anyone in this world who can suppress him in the whole battle.

As if seeing Nagato's inner thoughts, Kisame grinned at Nagato, revealing two rows of white teeth.

The next second, he started again and rushed towards Nagato like the wind.

'Not good.'

Nagato has realized the gap between him and Kisame, and his inner self-confidence has disappeared. In panic, he can only hurriedly seal, and a light dragon spewed out of his mouth.

It went straight to Kisame.

Senpo, White Shock Jutsu.

In an instant, a strong light, a loud noise, and the vibration of the air all blocked Kisame's sight, hearing, and touch, paralyzing him in place and unable to move.

But Kisame doesn't care about that at all.

Because, Kisame, like Nagato, is not normal humans at all. Born with murloc genes, he can also liquefy his body to relieve the paralysis caused by the vibration of the air.

In addition, there are a lot of ninja tools incorporated into his body. They are all hard and stubborn, and they are even less likely to be affected by air vibrations.

Therefore, although his sight and hearing were disturbed to a certain extent, his body did not stagnate in the slightest. With Nagato's position in his memory, he slammed towards Nagato.

'What?'

Nagato was taken aback as he watched Kisame rush over like a mad bull, pressing his head against his chest.

The iron head skill of Kabutowari!

'Boom!'

Nagato seemed to have been hit by a high-speed train, and there was a muffled sound in his chest, accompanied by the sound of broken bones, and his entire chest cavity was sunken.

This time, it was his turn to fly upside down, and finally he fell from the air face down, and fell hard.

'Damn.'

Nagato raised his face from the ground, his face was covered in blood, and he had two broken teeth in his mouth. Not only was he very embarrassed, but he also looked a little funny.

He was so angry that he was about to lose his mind, and there was only one thought left in his heart: to defeat Kisame!

'Ahhhhhh.'

So, he struggled to get up from the ground, clasped his hands together, shouted with all his strength, and the chakra in his body erupted violently.

'Rumble.'

On the ground at Nagato's foot, there was a bottomless black hole, and then, a behemoth came out.

This monster has a huge human shape on the outside, with nine closed eyes, the color of the skin is like dead wood, and there are pillars protruding from the back.

It's weird and terrifying, as if it's not a creature in this world.

That's the truth.

Because it is the Gedo Statue.

As the body of Ten Tails, this golem was sealed in the moon by the Sage of Six Paths hundreds of years ago. Now, under Nagato's call, who has the Rinnegan, it was channeled out and reappeared in the ninja world.

"Ho, ho..."

Nagato took a deep breath, jumped to the top of the Gedo Statue, then squatted down, inserted his fingers into the brain of the golem, and controlled it to open the abyss mouth.

"Roar!"

As a loud roar sounded, a purple chakra beam flew out of the Gedo Statue's mouth, and pounced toward Kisame.

This chakra beam can absorb the chakra that come into contact with it, and Nagato used it to kill Danzo's Root ninjas.

Facing the incoming giant beam, Kisame calmly made a seal and pressed his palm to the ground.

'Bang.'

A big tree rose from the ground and lifted Kisame into the air, avoiding the attack.

Not only that.

Under Nagato's suspicious eyes, the tree grew taller and taller, and soon rose into the sky, surpassing the tallest building in Amegakure, and finally turned into a 100-meter-tall wooden golem.

Mokuton·Wooden Golem.

In front of this majestic wooden golem, the Gedo Statue from Nagato's spiritual channel only reached the former's waist and looked like a child.

Kisame stood in the space above the wooden golem's head, looking down at Nagato with his arms folded over his chest, with the word "invincible" written all over his face.

"Humph."

Nagato came back to his senses and snorted coldly.

Not to be outdone, he injected more chakra into the Gedo Statue's body under his feet, causing its body to swell again, reaching the wooden golem's level.

At this time, Kisame had already driven the wooden golem and rushed up. The first strike was stronger, and the wooden dragon that was wrapped around the wooden golem's arm was launched, and Gedo Statue was tied up.

However, the Gedo Statue controlled by Nagato is not so easy to deal with, and it is impossible to surrender to Kisame so easily.

'Shhhhhh.'

The Gedo Statue open its mouth again, and chains flew out of its mouth, entangling the wooden golem, preventing it from moving.

Moreover, these chains also have the ability to seal, which can suppress the chakra of the wooden golem.

The two behemoths were at a stalemate.

'Sizzle.'

The column-shaped protrusion on the back of the Gedo Statue suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and finally a huge thunderbolt was launched forward, hitting the wooden golem ruthlessly.

'Click.'

The wooden golem under Kisame's feet suddenly had a big hole, and the huge body swayed and was about to shatter.

After all, the Gedo Statue is the body of ten tails, and even the Sage of the Six Paths cannot destroy it, he can only seal it, which shows its strong vitality and tyranny of it's body.

Moreover, it also has many magical abilities, and as soon as it is brought into play under Nagato's control, it naturally has the upper hand in this battle.

"Roar!"

The Gedo Statue once again let out a roar that resounded through the air, and pounced on the wooden golem, tearing the latter apart.

Seeing that he was about to lose, a smile appeared on Kisame's face 

He knew from the beginning that his wooden golem was not the Gedo Statue's opponent, so he always showed weakness and lured the opponent to take the initiative to attack.

At this time, Kisame can show his real ace card.

'Boom!'

While the Gedo Statue tore the wooden golem's body to pieces, the wooden golem that seemed to be struggling, slapped the top of the Gedo Statue's head with its palm. In its palm, a black word "Seat" appeared quietly at some point.

'Um?'

Nagato noticed the word "Seat" and was shocked, but it was too late.

With a pop, the wooden golem's palm rested on the Gedo Statue's forehead, and a powerful sealing force was immediately introduced into the latter's body.

Seal Ten.

This is the ability that Kisame gained after crushing Tsunade's crystal necklace. It is one of the strongest sealing techniques of the first Hokage, and it can even make the runaway Nine Tails fall asleep instantly.

Although the Gedo Statue in front of him is very powerful, but all nine eyes of it are closed, which means that it has lost the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, and it is only a body that is left.

Therefore, in the face of this technique that can seal the nine tails, the Gedo Statue is naturally unable to resist it, and instantly stands still, lowered it's arms, and fell silent.

'What happened?'

Nagato suddenly discovered that his connection with the Gedo Statue had been severed by an inexplicable force, and no matter what he tried, he couldn't wake it up from its slumber.

At this time, as the wooden golem was about to disintegrate, Kisame jumped into the air, and then descended from the sky like lightning.

Nagato was smashed into the air by Kisame, and the two were entangled in the air, falling from the top of the Gedo Statue.

They landed like a meteor, and a big crater was smashed into the ground with a bang.

As the smoke gradually dissipated.

In the big pit, Kisame's figure appeared. He stood up straight, grabbed Nagato's neck with one hand, and lifted the latter who lost his ability to resist.

Then, the other hand of the ghost shark reached out to the Rinnegan.

After some thought, he decided to take the Rinnegan from Nagato.

Nagato opened his eyes wide, his face filled with despair and terror, but he could only watch Kisame's fingers getting closer and closer, making him tremble violently.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Kaeru Kaeru Kaeru Kaeru.."

A strange sound suddenly came from the other side of the street, with a certain rhythm and melody, like a... song.

However, this song is obviously not sung by humans, because its lyrics and tunes are only suitable for animals like toads, and only their vocal range can make such a sound.

'Is this...'

Kisame was shocked, and he turned his head sharply to look at the end of the street, and suddenly saw that on Jiraiya's shoulder, Fukasaku and Shima were puffing out their mouths and singing together.

The invisible sound waves, carrying the singing of the toad, reached their ears.

The ghost shark suddenly felt a whirlwind, and the hand that was holding Nagato's neck was also weakly released at this moment, causing the latter to fall to the ground.

Under the influence of this song, Kisame's consciousness soon became blurred, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorted as far as the line of sight could be seen.

'What a horrible illusion.'

Yes, this is the most powerful illusion in the world- Magen: Gama Rinshō!

This jutsu is an genjutsu composed of the secret syllables that have been passed down in Mount Myoboku since ancient times, two or more toads are required to sing together to activate the genjutsu.

Especially the two Sage couple Fukasaku and Shima, as couples who have lived together for hundreds of years, have achieved the greatest tacit understanding after years of persistent practice, and finally formed a perfect and wonderful chorus.

It maximizes the power of this technique.

In the anime, Jiraiya, who sneaked into Amegakure to spy on intelligence, used this technique to kill three Pain avatars at one time after a confrontation with the Pain controlled by Nagato.

Therefore, if it is a person who does not know anything about this jutsu and is completely unprepared, will definitely become the prisoner of this magical sound, and they will be caught in a deadly situation.

Such as Nagato.

He fell to the ground with a "thud", he tried to ignore the singing in his ear and subconsciously struggled to stand up.

But in the next second, his whole body froze, as if it is bound by an invisible force and taken to another dimension.

As for Kisame.

Fortunately, he had long known the existence of this technique, so he kept an eye on it.

Right at this moment.

'Swish.'

Before Kisame lost consciousness, his back muscles bulged, and a pair of black wings spread out from under the skin, like an eagle, flapping its wings and flying high.

In just a few seconds, Kisame rushed straight to an altitude of more than 100 meters, far from the range of the toad's singing.

At this distance, although he will still be affected by the singing, its power has been greatly weakened, and it is no longer possible to drag Kisame into genjutsu that binds the spirit.

Kisame breathed a sigh of relief as he stabilized his mind, and then looked down.

On the street where the singing echoed, even the space was distorted, and the figures of Jiraiya and Nagato disappeared, and nothing could be seen.

At the same time.

In the genjutsu created by Magen: Gama Rinshō.

Nagato seemed to be floating in the water, trapped in a square barrier, and fell into a coma. Around the barrier, there were four majestic giant toads in armor, holding a sharp sword in one hand and pressing the other hand on the barrier, surrounding Nagato.

On the armors on their chests, the four characters "No", "Move", "Ming" and "King" are engraved respectively.

With the fluctuation of space, Jiraya entered here with a huge stone sword.

"Did we only trap one enemy? I didn't expect the other guy to react so quickly and escape from the chorus illusion."

Shima was very surprised to see that there was only Nagato was captured and not "Orochimaru".

"Little Jiraiya, hurry up and deal with the Rinnegan first. We won't be able to maintain this genjutsu for long."

Fukasaku urged, his voice sounded a little hoarse, and his expression was also tired.

That's because the Magen: Gama Rinshō will cause a considerable burden on the throat of the caster, and requires a lot of chakra to activate.

The two sages can only activate this time in a short period of time.

Hearing this, Jiraiya slowly raised the stone sword in his hand. As long as he pierces Nagato's heart with this secret stone sword from Mount Myoboku , the latter's soul will be slowly released from the illusion space and enter the underworld.

However, at this moment, Jiraiya hesitated.

"Boss, eldest sister, Nagato is the son of prophecy that the Great Toad Sage talked about. He is the savior who is destined to change the world of ninjas and bring peace to this world. Is it really okay for me to kill him like this?"

Jiraiya asked hesitantly.

"What :&£-+ son of prophecy! From my point of view, that old man is too old, and he drinks a lot of alcohol all day, and is often drunk and insane, so he said some nonsense in his dreams."

Shima snorted and said with a look of disdain. Obviously, it has long been dissatisfied with Gamamaru.

"Shima, you are not allowed to talk like that about Gamamaru !"

Fukasaku became angry and scolded Shima sternly, and then said, "Master's predictions are always 100% accurate, and there will never be any mistakes! Jiraiya, have you ever thought about this long-term situation in front of you? Nagato isn't the real Son of Prophecy."

"What?!"

Jiraiya froze in place.

Yes, Gamamaru just said that he would travel around the world and write novels, and the disciples he accepted in the process would become the children of prophecy.

But that person must be Nagato?

Now that I think about it, Nagato has the same Rinnegan as the Sage of the Six Paths. It is because of this that Nagato confused Jiraiya and makes him sure that Nagato is the son of the prophecy.

It was only now that he came to his senses: Nagato was not the son of prophecy. That is to say, his task of finding the Son of Prophecy has not yet been completed.

However, even so.

Jiraiya still couldn't deal with Nagato.

In the world of ninjas, master and apprentice may be more important than family members. Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't kill his beloved disciple Orochimaru, Jiraiya couldn't bear to kill Nagato either.

Moreover, Nagato was able to take Jiraiya's life before, but he let Jiraiya go because of the relationship between master and apprentice.

If Jiraiya killed his disciples in turn, he would not be able to answer his conscience.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya sighed, put away the stone sword in his hand, and said to the two sage on his shoulders:

"I lost to Nagato before. He first spared my life. It's my turn, and I can't do it. At least this time, I can't do it."

The two sages looked at each other and did not blame Jiraiya, and Shima comforted him:

"It's okay, Jiraiya, we understand how you feel."

"Boss, eldest sister, how long can your illusions control Nagato?" Jiraiya suddenly asked.

"Three minutes at most, Nagato will wake up after that." Fukasaku answered truthfully.

"It's enough."

Hearing this, Jiraiya immediately turned around and walked outside the illusion space, and said his plan, "While Nagato is unconscious, we will quickly rescue Gamabunta and the others, and then evacuate from Amegakure."

As he talked his body passed through the ripples in space and returned to the real world.

"Here we go."

Jiraiya shouted loudly with his eyes sharp, he jumped up from the spot, and rushed towards the terrestrial star floating in the sky.

Senpo: Odama Rasengan!

He condensed the last bit of Senjutsu chakra in his body, and hit the surface of the terrestrial Star.

'Boom!'

In a deafening explosion, the terrestrial star was violently impacted, a huge gap appeared on the surface, and cobweb-like cracks spread to the surface of the sphere.

A large number of rocks and debris broke away from the sphere and fell back to the ground, hitting the streets and buildings heavily.

'Boom' 'Boom 'Boom.'

With three consecutive loud bangs, the toad trio broke free, and with the help of Jiraiya's external attack, they finally escaped from the terrestrial Star.

"Bang!" Their huge bodies turned into three puffs of white smoke in mid-air and returned to Mount Myoboku.

"Have everyone assembled?"

Jiraiya landed on the ground and asked with a frown. His eyes glanced around the crowd, and found that Minato, Kakashi, Guy, Shisui and others had recovered their mobility and were waiting for him to give orders.

"Minato, you take them away first, I will stay here and wait, and then I will catch up with you" Jiraiya ordered immediately.

"Yes. Hokage-sama, please be careful and make sure to return safely."

Namikaze Minato nodded, and led Kakashi and the others outside Amegakure .

Jiraiya waited in place for two minutes, guessing that the Konoha group had already left the village, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

What he brought this time are all the genius ninjas of the younger generation of Konoha, and each of them will become the mainstay of Konoha in the future. If these people die here, it will undoubtedly be a tragic loss for Konoha.

"Little Jiraiya, we are leaving too, you can figure out what you want to do yourself."

At this time, Fukasaku and Shima also told Jiraiya a few words, and with a look of exhaustion on their faces, they turned into white smoke and disappeared.

The Sage mask on Jiraiya's face disappeared, and the frog-like form returned to normal. After he lost the power of the sage mode, he suddenly felt weak and fell to one knee on the ground with a plop.

He resisted the severe pain that came from all over his body, stood up slowly, glanced at Nagato who was still unconscious on the ground in the distance, and left without looking back.

Jiraiya just walked away.

On the ground, Nagato's tail, the white snake that was cut off by Kisame suddenly moved, as if it had come to life again.

The next second, a pair of arms opened its mouth from the body of the white snake, and then, a guy with a lantern grass on his head climbed out from it.

It's Zetsu 

"Finally escaped, I thought I was dead."

White Zetsu then found that his body was covered with sticky snake body fluids, and suddenly showed a disgusted expression, and found a few leaves on the roadside and wiped them.

Different from the nervous White Zetsu, Black Zetsu looked at the surrounding environment in surprise, and murmured, "What happened?"

At this moment, the space next to the two fluctuated, and a figure appeared.

Uchiha Obito.

"Obito, are you here to save us? Wow, I'm so touched!" White Zetsu was overjoyed when he saw Obito, and his tears almost fell.

"Shut up."

With a cold drink, Obito glared at White Zetsu with a sharp look, and then turned to Nagato, who was lying unconscious on the street not far away.

He's actually been around the whole time.

In battle between Jiraiya and Nagato, Nagato and "Orochimaru", Obito quitely watched all these. After all, with his power, he is not qualified to intervene in the battle between sages.

So he waited patiently, until the time came, that is now and finally couldn't help showing up.

"Madara is wrong, he shouldn't have transplanted his Rinnegan to Nagato. Nagato's ambition is too big, and it has gone out of control. It is impossible to count on him to help us realize the Moon Eye plan, let alone resurrecting Uchiha Madara."

Obito said in a low voice.

"Then according to your opinion, what should we do?" Black Zetsu asked with flickering eyes.

"Retrieve the Rinnegan and look for a new container." After Obito said this, he strode towards Nagato.

"If only it is that easy."

Black Zetsu looked at Obito's back and shook his head. At the beginning, Madara Uchiha spent a lot of effort to find the young Nagato with Uzumaki blood.

Only Nagato can withstand the power of Rinnegan, relying on the huge Chakra in the body to support these eyes.

But now it seems that there is no other way.

'Da da da.'

As Obito walked to Nagato, a glass bottle containing a clear solution appeared in his hand, ready to use it to store the removed Rinnegan.

However, at this moment.

'Swish.'

Nagato, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at Obito with cold eyes.

He had already woken up when Obito appeared, and the reason why he continued to pretend to sleep was to see what Obito was going to do.

As a result, he heard an incomparably astonishing piece of information.

Nagato never thought that his Rinnegan were not his own, but transplanted from someone else.

Moreover, that person's name is Madara Uchiha.

It was a legendary ninja who once stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world and was as famous as the God of ninjas, Senju Hashirama.

When Nagato was extremely shocked and his mind was full of thoughts, Obito walked over.

'Want to take my eyes away? Dream on!'

Nagato's eyes froze, and he bit his finger without hesitation and used summoning jutsu.

"Bang!"

After a cloud of white smoke dissipated, a large white phosphorus snake with orange hair and yellow eyes appeared. Its body is winding and circling, roughly 100 meters long, with red luminous pearls on its head, a horn-shaped ornament on its forehead, a green opal necklace on its chest, and two golden rings on its tail.

An air of grace and nobility came over from her.

What followed was the terrifying energy fluctuations in its body, so powerful that it didn't resemble the creatures on this planet.

White Snake Sage.

Nagato actually summoned her out.

The moment Obito saw the White Snake Sage, his pupils shrank, knowing how terrifying the other party was. He did not hesitate to activate Kamui, he escaped into the Kamui space.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Black and White Zetsu also sank into the ground and fled wildly.

Meanwhile, in midair.

Kisame had been waiting for the illusion barrier of Magen: Gama Rinshō to dissipate. Unexpectedly, after the barrier has dissipated, the situation became even more troublesome.

When he saw the White Snake Sage, he knew that there was no chance to take the Rinnegan from Nagato.

Thinking of this, Kisame no longer hesitated, he flapped his wings and flew towards the sky, and soon disappeared into the clouds.

On the street.

"Nagato, what's going on? I was sleeping soundly and was suddenly summoned to this place by you. Do you really think I'm your summoned beast?"

The White Snake Sage coiled up, looked down at Nagato, and hissed with a unpleasant tone.

It seemed that if Nagato's answer did not satisfy him, he would probably be eaten by it in one bite.

Facing her questioning Nagato replied.

"I'm sorry, the situation was critical just now. I was really helpless to call you here. White Snake sage, please forgive my rude and offensive behavior."

Nagato hurriedly pleaded guilty to the White Snake Sage.

"That's all."

Seeing that Nagato was so respectful, the White Snake Sage lost most of her anger. After all, this was her favored summoner, so how could she really eat her.

"So, what happened?" It looked around and saw the dilapidated streets, full of traces left over from the battle.

"Me, Jiraiya, and Hoshigaki Kisame have fought here."

Nagato truthfully told the White Snake Sage what happened.

After the White Snake Sage heard it, she taught Nagato a lesson earnestly:

"Nagato, you underestimate your opponent too much. That Hoshigaki Kisame is about the same age as you, he is already a Demi-God in the ninja world, and he mastered the Sage mode earlier than you. All these are enough to show that his talent is comparable to that of you. Compared with you who has the Rinnegan, he is not inferior to you, he is even stronger than you. In addition, Jiraiya is also not to be underestimated, he has received all the support from the toads in Mount Myoboku, and there have many methods behind them."

From its point of view, Kisame and Jiraiya, after all, are someone who have been recognized by Katsuyu and Gamamaru respectively, how could they be defeated so easily.

"Yes, I understand."

Hearing this, Nagato finally realized that he thought of his opponent too simply.

At this time, the White Snake Sage hissed and activated it's powerful perception ability, and scanned the area within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

It saw the Konoha ninjas headed by Jiraiya on the ground, and Kisame flying in the sky, all escaping the territory of Land the Rain at a very fast speed.

Obviously, both Kisame and Jiraiya are afraid to face the White Snake Sage.

But the White Snake Sage felt very ashamed.

As a Sage of the holy land, it should have been detached and aloof from the world, but now it has come in person and participated in the struggle between kids.

If this kind of thing is known to Gamamaru and Katsuyu, they will definitely laugh at it in their hearts.

Therefore, the White Snake Sage didn't want to stay longer even for a moment. After explaining a few things to Nagato, she turned into a cloud of white smoke with a "bang" and returned to the Ryuchi Cave.

Nagato found the broken tail of the white snake.

He put a hand into the mouth of the white snake and took out Konan's body from it. Then, he picked her up and walked towards the highest building in the center of Amegakure.

Three days later.

After Nagato's strong return, he first defeated the Suna invaders, killed Kazekage Rasa in public, and then drove away Konoha's Hokage and a group of ninjas, so that Amegakure returned to Amegakure's hands.

Under such circumstances, Nagato naturally gained the support of many Ame ninjas and the villagers, and was regarded by them as the savior of Amegakure and pushed him to the position of leader.

In three days, Nagato used iron and blood policy to eradicate some dissidents, and soon took control of the Amegakure, and announced the rebuilding of the Akatsuki organization here.

In his room.

Nagato was wearing the familiar black-bottomed red cloud robe, standing in front of the mirror, staring at himself.

To be precise, he was staring at the pair of Rinnegan.

According to the conversation between Obito and Zetsu, these eyes originally belonged to Uchiha Madara. Before the latter died, he transplanted his eyes to Nagato, and sent Obito to monitor and control Nagato in order to realize the "Eye of the Moon Plan" and even resurrect Madara Uchiha.

'So, I am just a container.'

Nagato let out a self-deprecating smile.

All along, he felt very proud in his heart because he has the same eyes as the Sage of Six Paths and the son of prophecy from Jiraiya's mouth, one who will change the world.

No matter who it is, under such circumstances, they must be full of self-confidence and believe that they are the one chosen by heaven.

But it was only now that Nagato discovered that he was not the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, nor is he the son of prophecy, but a chess piece.

A poor fellow kept in the dark.

'Ha ha.'

Thinking of this, Nagato laughed again, but it was no longer a self-deprecating laugh, but a sneer.

It's a pity that Madara Uchiha, Obito and others carefully created plan was unwittingly seen through by the pawn. In this case, let them feel the taste of bitter fruit.

At this moment, Nagato remembered what the White Snake Sage once said to him: the theme of Ryuchi Cave is to hunt and plunder, swallow other creatures, and absorb their life energy to strengthen themselves. In this way, the snake crawling on the ground will one day grow horns and become a dragon soaring in the sky.

So starting from today, this Rinnegan belongs to him alone, and no one would to take it away.

He will use these eyes to turn himself into a dragon!

Nagato left the mirror, came to the huge window, and looked at the entirety of Amegakure.

His original plan was to defeat Jiraiya first, then kill Kisame, and finally unite the ninja world in one go. But the battle three days ago made him realize that his current strength is not enough.

He needs time.

Nagato could feel that his use of the Rinnegan is still at a relatively simple stage. These eyes still hold great potential.

As long as he can fully develop the power of the Rinnegan by then, it will be an easy task to defeat Hoshigaki Kisame and Jiraiya.

Until then, he must be patient for a while.

Of course, Nagato's forbearance is just for Konoha and Kirigakure. As for the forces like Sunagakure, they were already on his clearing list and had to be eliminated.

Another three days passed.

The Land of Wind, Sunagakure.

Thousands of Suna ninjas headed by Chiyo gathered in front of the Kazekage Building in the center of the village and stared at the sky.

Nagato floated in the air dozens of meters above the ground, and he looked down at the Suna ninja below indifferently.

He came alone, and that was enough.

"Today is the day that Sunagakure ends. This is the price you must pay for your aggression."

Nagato spoke coldly, like an emotionless deity, and pronounced judgment on the people of Sunagakure. His voice spread out and reverberated in the sky above Sunagakure.

"Get ready to fight!"

Chiyo shouted loudly to stabilize the military. She took out a few scrolls and summoned a few puppets as she planned to fight Nagato to the end and desperately defend Sunagakure.

"Get revenge for Kazekage-sama!"

"There is only one enemy, what are you afraid of? Kill him, and we will get back Amegakure!"

The rest of the Suna ninjas also shouted as they took out their weapons and moved with high spirits.

However, what they didn't expect was that Nagato didn't rush towards these people, but instead flew away from them and flew towards a higher altitude.

"Is that guy scared?"

"Haha, he was frightened by our momentum and is about to flee."

Seeing Nagato leave, many thought the battle was over, and celebrated their victory.

Only Chiyo and a few other high-ranking members of Sunagakure frowned, feeling an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"Are the children and widow of the Kazekage-sama sent to a safe place?" Chiyo asked her younger brother, who was also one of Sunagakure high-level advisors.

"Well, under the protection of Anbu, they have left the village and arrived at the evacuation point safely." he nodded and replied.

Before the battle started, the senior leaders of Sunagakure also thought of a way out, and sent the women and children such as Kagura, Kankuro, and Temari out of the village ahead of schedule.

The purpose is to keep Sunagakure alive.

At this time.

Nagato has reached a height of 100 meters. Looking at this height, the sand ninjas on the ground are as small as a group of ants.

In fact they are.

"Let's start with Sunagakure. The five big Ninja villages and the five countries behind them have been arrogant for too long. You use the small countries and Ninja villages as chessboards and wage wars recklessly without caring about the people living on those lands. Today, I want you to feel the pain that my parents and orphans like me have suffered."

Nagato muttered to himself, his eyes became more and more cold, and the fire of hatred in his heart burned bright.

The next second, he slowly opened his arms, looking down at the earth like a God, and then said:

"Shinra Tensei!"

'Buzz.'

An overwhelming repulsive force suddenly poured out of Nagato's body, and instantly reached Sunagakure, that is directly below him.

The Shinra Tensei he used this time is different from the usual in the "small fights", it a terrible move that drains the Chakra in the body at one time, and even consumes a certain lifespan before it can be used.

As for its power, it can only be described with the words "Destroy Heaven and Earth".

'Um?'

Chiyo and the others, who were waiting on the ground suddenly felt an invisible force coming and enveloped them.

Next moment.

'Bang.'

The Kazekage Building in the center of Sunagakure seemed to be trampled by an invisible giant's foot, and instantly turned into dust and disappeared completely.

Then, with the Kazekage Building as the center, a circular giant pit appeared and spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

The first to bear the brunt is Chiyo and other Suna ninjas.

"Ahhh!"

In a burst of screams one after another, under the action of repulsion, these people all flew out backwards, hitting the roadside buildings, poles, and pillars, and were seriously injured.

Before they could get up, the buildings on the street, without exception, collapsed with a bang, burying them in the rubble.

No one was spared.

High in the sky, looking down from Nagato's point of view.

The entire Sunagakure was ploughed by Shinra Tensei in just ten seconds, and everything was destroyed. Dust rose into the sky and enveloped the nearby sky for a long time.

"Ho, ho..."

Nagato was panting heavily, sweat dripped down his cheeks, and he lost a lot of weight in the blink of an eye, as if he had been completely drained by something.

In fact, if he wants to destroy Sunagakure, he doesn't need to spend so much effort and take such a risk.

But Nagato is going to use this most shocking method to make other big ninja villages and big countries see it, and they will feel uneasy all day long, and live in fear since then.

This is his purpose.

The dust rising in the sky gradually dissipated. Sunagakure was re-displayed in front of this world.

Sunagakure no longer exists.

As one of the five former ninja villages, the Sunagakure at this time seems to have evaporated out of thin air, leaving only a large pit with a diameter of several kilometers.

Thousands of Suna ninjas such as Chiyo and her brother have been permanently buried in the depths of the pit. As for how many people can survive this catastrophe, it can only be left to the will of God.

It seemed that Sunagakure was hit by a huge meteorite that fell from the sky, causing the tragic disaster that destroyed the village.

In reality, however, this catastrophe was not a natural disaster, but a man-made one.

From the distance, a few ninjas from Amegakure stood high, set up cameras, and clearly and completely recorded the entire process of Sunagakure being destroyed by Nagato.

"I can't wait to see the wonderful expressions on the faces of other Shinobi villagers and Daimyo from various countries when they saw this video."

One Ame ninja smiled, and the others were also excited.

"The chief is here." At this moment, someone shouted. They hurriedly knelt down, lowered their heads, and respectfully greeted Nagato, who came from the sky.

"Is everything recorded?"

Nagato asked indifferently, and after getting a positive answer, he ordered, "Make a few copies and send them to the major Ninja villages, just say it's my greetings to them."

"Yes!"

The Ame ninjas listened to his order and immediately retreated to carry out the task faithfully.

Feeling a bit tired Nagato wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a last look at the destroyed Sunagakure, then got up from the ground again and flew towards the Land of Rain.

Shortly after he left.

Obito and Zetsu emerged from the desert and stood on the ruins of Sunagakure.

"What a lunatic."

Obito looked at the big pit that stretched for several miles in front of him, and muttered with emotion. Even someone like him, who regards human life as dust, can't do such a crazy thing.

"Obito, Nagato probably already knows the truth about the Rinnegan. Let's not talk about retrieving the Rinnegan. I'm afraid even getting close to him is impossible."

Black Zetsu frowned, his expression solemn.

As the real mastermind behind the scenes, Madara Uchiha, Obito and Nagato are all his pawns. But now, Nagato, the most crucial piece, was out of control, and Black Zetsu's plan to resurrect his mother had to stagnate again.

"Just wait. Be patient, we'll wait for the opportunity."

Obito said with a cold snort. Immediately, he and Zetsu left here together and disappeared.

A few days later.

The video of Nagato destroying Sunagakure and killing thousands of Suna ninjas by himself appeared on the desks of Daimyos and Kages.

The entire ninja world was shaken.

The last time there was such a big shock in the Ninja world, it was because of Hoshigaki Kisame.

Kisame defeated Konoha alone, destroying the entire Konoha village, forcing the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen to lead the Konoha to surrender, which is shocking enough.

It is a big event that can be recorded in the history of the ninja world.

But now, Nagato has done something even better than Kisame, he directly destroyed Sunagakure. Both the land and the people were completely wiped out, and nothing remained.

Everyone realizes that the ninja world will change drastically from now on.

The first to react was the Daimyo Palace of the Land of Wind.

Not long ago, because of his arrogance and rudeness, the Daimyo of the Land of Water angered the new ninja Demi-God, Hoshigaki Kisame.

In the end, the aristocratic class of the Land of Water represented by the Daimyo was almost wiped out by Kisame. And the Daimyo Palace, which has ruled the Land of Water for thousands of years, has also become a piece of history forever.

From that day on, the Daimyos in various countries realized that the power they have inherited for thousands of years and are accustomed to is not eternal.

In the face of a ninja like Hoshigaki Kisame who doesn't follow rules and only talks about strength, the name and righteousness that the Daimyo Palace relies on has no effect. The name Hoshigaki Kisame has become a nightmare for Daimyos in various countries.

Now, a second Hoshigaki Kisame has appeared.

Because of the previous experience, the Daimyo Palace in the Land of Wind responded quickly, and immediately sent messengers to Amegakure with a lot of money and materials.

After the messenger arrived at Amegakure, he carefully asked to see Nagato, daring not to show any arrogance. After seeing Nagato, he bowed even more, conveyed the goodwill of the Daimyo to the latter, and offered money and materials.

The Daimyo of the Land of Wind, not only did not have any intention of questioning Nagato for destruction of Sunagakure, but instead acknowledged Amegakure's justice, and also issued an invitation to Nagato.

A few days later, Nagato came to the Daimyo Palace in the Land of Wind for appointment.

Perhaps it was because the Daimyo's attitude was too good to reach out and not hit the smiling face, Nagato did not directly kill the Daimyo and replace him like Kisame did.

The final result was that the Land of Wind Daimyo signed a contract with Amegakure, and reached a strategic relationship of one country and one village.

In other words, Ame Ninjas replaced Suna ninjas position and became one of the five great Ninja Villages.

In this transaction, the Land of Wind not only merged the territory of the Land of Rain logically, but also gained the power of the ninjas of Amegakure headed by Nagato.

At the same time, Nagato also got the opportunity to develop Amegakure and Akatsuki with the support of the Land of Wind.

It can be said to be a win-win.

Nagato himself, with his proud record of defeating Hokage Jiraiya and destroying Sunagakure, plus rumors of his identities such as "Reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths" and "Son of Prophecy", has been in the limelight for a while, and his reputation has resounded throughout the Ninja world.

The limelight even overwhelmed Hoshigaki Kisame's feats.

The pressure came to Konoha.

Konoha is now sandwiched between Amegakure and Kirigakure, with the Sage Nagato who just defeated the current Hokage, and the Demi-God Hoshigaki Kisame who defeated the previous Hokage.

No matter who these two are, they have the ability to flatten Konoha, so Konoha's ninjas and villagers are not without anxiety.

Under such circumstances, in order to find a way out, Konoha can only continue to deepen exchanges with Mount Myoboku.

On the third day when Jiraiya and others returned to the village, the first batch of ninjas who learned are to learn senjutsu started from Konoha and arrive at Mount Myoboku.

Talented ninjas such as Kakashi, Guy, and Uchiha Shisui are among them. As for how many people can come back after learning Senjutsu, it depends on their own good fortune.

The Land of Water, Kirigakure.

Kisame flew from the sky, retracted his wings, and slowly landed in the yard next to the Mizukage Building.

He strode into the house and faced a happy looking Yukino, he then had a good reunion with her, and went to the bedroom to do some exercise together.

After Kisame finished taking a bath and came out refreshed, he found that Pakura was already sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting.

After she saw Kisame, she immediately stood up, walked up to him, and showed him the video of Nagato destroying the Sunagakure with a solemn expression.

"During these days when I'm not here, you worked hard for the village. Go down and have a good rest first, don't worry, I've known about Nagato, I'll take care of it and deal with him."

Kisame patted Pakura on the shoulder and said to her. He could see that she couldn't hide the tiredness between her brows, presumably because she was worried a lot for the village.

"Yes, Mizukage-sama." Pakura bowed to Kisame and backed away.

Kisame came to Mizukage office, sat on a chair, and thought.

With his strength, killing Nagato by force is not a problem, but the problem now is that to kill Nagato, he must first pass the White Snake Sage.

That white phosphorus big snake is on the same level as Gamamaru and Katsuyu. Even if Kisame showed all his strength, he probably wouldn't be it's opponent.

He had already formed a grudge with Ryuchi cave because he swallowed Manda alive. In addition, the relationship between the Katsuyu and the white snake sage is that of a natural enemy, which deepened this hatred.

Therefore, Kisame can predict that when Nagato completely develops the Rinnegan, he will definitely come to Kirigakure and fight him.

That day won't be long from now.

Kisame realized that his time was running out, and he couldn't help but have a strong sense of crisis. As long as his strength does not reach the Six Path level, he will not be able to face full power Nagato.

Therefore, he must find a way to improve again and break through the bottleneck.

After thinking for a moment, Kisame decided to start with Orochimaru.

So, he patted his chest and released Orochimaru from the Box of ultimate bliss.

Orochimaru fell to the floor with a "bang", he slowly opened a pair of golden snake pupils, and woke up leisurely.

"Am I dead..."

His eyes were confused, and memories flooded in like a flood, making him feel a sharp pain.

Before he fell into a coma, the last image in his mind was that in the valley outside Amegakure, he was defeated by a powerful enemy called Kakuzu, and the latter was about to take his heart.

After Orochimaru became more conscious, he quickly realized that he was not dead.

'Here... where is it?'

He looked around suspiciously and found that it was a very open office, but because the lights were not turned on, the room was dim.

In front of him, a tall and burly man sat on a chair, his face hidden in the shadows, exuding an unfathomable aura like the sea.

"Are you... Hoshigaki Kisame?!"

Orochimaru recognized his identity and suddenly his pupils shrank in shock. He never imagined that the reason why he didn't die at Kakuzu's hands was that he was rescued by Kisame.

"Are you surprised, Orochimaru." Kisame stared at Orochimaru and asked lightly.

"Why did you save me?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and looked vigilant. In his impression, Kisame is not a good person, but a guy who eats people and doesn't spit out bones.

"Do you still need to ask, of course, because you are useful to me."

Kisame smiled as he stood up from his seat and walked out of the office, saying, "Follow me."

Orochimaru looked at Kisame's back and his eyes flickered as he planned to take the opportunity to escape, and planned an escape route.

However, after hesitating for a while, he gave up this unrealistic idea.

Because he knew that Kisame had thought of this for a long time, maybe he is waiting for him to escape.

So, Orochimaru finally followed him.

The two moved one after the other and came to the mountain at the back of Kirigakure, and arrived at an open field where few people traveled.

'This place should be big enough.'

Kisame was very satisfied with this place, so he turned around and said to Orochimaru, "Show me your eight branches jutsu. You shouldn't mind showing it to me, right?"

When Orochimaru heard him, he was shocked, and he subconsciously took two steps back, and said with a horrified expression: "You, how do you know?"

The Eight branches jutsu is his biggest trump card, and there is no way anyone else can know about it.

"Don't worry about how I found out. I just want to see how far you have developed this technique after so many years of research?"

Kisame walked towards Orochimaru step by step, a bit aggressively.

"I refuse." Orochimaru said coldly.

"It's not up to you."

Kisame smiled and rushed towards Orochimaru with a swish sound. The Kusanagi sword appeared in his hand, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the latter's heart.

Orochimaru's complexion changed, and he subconsciously formed the summoning seal, trying to summon the group of snakes from Ryuchi Cave to deal with Kisame.

However, after he finished forming the seals, he found that there was no movement.

'Not good.'

He suddenly realized that his name might have been erased from the summoning scroll of the Ryuchi Cave. This means that many of his ninjutsu skills, such as the hidden shadow snake hand, ten thousand snakes, and the destruction of chaos snakes... can no longer be used.

Moreover, the two Kusanagi swords that were with Orochimaru were taken away by Kisame.

He has no means to compete with Kisame.

At this moment.

Orochimaru's body transformed by himself had bizarrely curved into an arc, avoiding the fatal blow from Kisame, but his body was still scratched by the Kusanagi sword and blood spurted out.

"If I can't see your eight branches jutsu, Orochimaru, you don't have any use for me."

Kisame's voice was cold and merciless, as he launched a series of deadly attacks on Orochimaru.

Orochimaru quickly couldn't hold back.

He knew that Kisame is for real, and if he continued like this, he would die under the Kusanagi Sword in less than half a minute.

He do not care anymore.

Orochimaru's eyes turned cold, his hands clasped together suddenly, and he screamed at the ghost shark: "Hoshigaki Kisame, I will do what you want!"

As soon as he said that, there was a 'poof'.

A powerful chakra formed wind pressure and drove Kisame back.

When he stabilized his body and looked again, Orochimaru had disappeared, he is replaced by a huge white snake with eight heads and eight tails!

This giant snake, with a huge body and ferocious teeth, swayed its eight heads from side to side, looking down at Kisame from above, exuding a powerful aura.

"It turns out that humans can really transform into such creatures."

Kisame's eyes lit up as he muttered to himself.

"Hizz!"

At this moment, the eight-headed snake hissed, and eight huge snake heads swooped down and bit towards Kisame.

Kisame narrowed his eyes as his wings suddenly grew from behind, soaring into the sky, dodging the attack.

Immediately afterwards, the Kusanagi Sword in his hand instantly became longer, around thirty meters, glowing with an icy cold light.

'Swish swish.'

With the swing of the Kusanagi sword by Kisame, the head of the eight-headed snake was cut off one after another and fell to the ground.

At this time, the regenerative ability of the eight-headed snake activated, and every time a head is cut off, a new one will grow in the original place, as if it is endless and immortal.

But in fact, this regeneration ability will greatly consume Orochimaru's chakra. For him, who was already in poor condition, it caused a more serious burden.

As a result, under Kisame's continuous attack, the original majestic eight-headed snake quickly lost the ability to regenerate, and only one head remained. Its huge body retreated backwards, and the last head also shrank, as if it was extremely afraid of Kisame.

Overall, it was a one-sided battle.

But this does not mean that the eight branches jutsu is not powerful, it's because the gap between Kisame and Orochimaru is too great.

"Okay, I'm satisfied, you can change back."

Kisame put away the Kusanagi sword and said to the eight-headed snake.

Hearing the words, it hissed in shock, and finally slowly opened its big mouth, and spit out a wet Orochimaru from it.

'Thump.'

Orochimaru fell to the ground, panting violently, looking very weak. And the eight-headed snake behind him poofed and disappeared into white smoke.

He raised his head, looked at Kisame who was walking step by step, and asked with difficulty, "What do you want?"

"I recognize your courage, Orochimaru."

Kisame's eyes were bright, and he said with great interest, "Using the regeneration ability of the white snake as a medium, injecting it into the eight branches jutsu, and changing the long-lasting obsession in your heart into this white snake with eight heads and eight tails. I have to admit it, you have taken a big step forward in the pursuit of immortality and evolution. I appreciate your courage and salute you."

As he spoke, he grabbed Orochimaru's hand and pulled the latter from the ground.

"You…"

Orochimaru didn't know what to say for a while when he heard these words.

"Are you surprised? Orochimaru, you are not the only one who hates death and pursues the lifelong dream of immortality. You and I are actually like-minded people."

Kisame opened his arms and said with a smile.

Without waiting for Orochimaru to respond, he continued: "So, share your experience with me, and I will follow the same path as you, evolving into a perfect creature with the obsession in my heart, so as to achieve glorious and great evolution. !"

Orochimaru couldn't say a word. He suddenly felt that Kisame in front of him was more paranoid and crazier than him.

Kisame saw Orochimaru's expression and knew that the latter would take some time to digest what happened today. So he proposed again:

"Think about it, Orochimaru. At this time tomorrow, I will be waiting for you here. Whether you will join hands with me to embark on the path of eternal life, or whether you will continue to pursue your quest alone, depends on your own choice."

After saying these words, Kisame turned around and strode away, and soon disappeared from Orochimaru's field of vision.

Orochimaru was still in shock. When he confirmed that Kisame had left, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic, and immediately fled from here and disappeared.

The next day, the same time.

Kisame came to this open space, leaned against a big tree, closed his eyes and rested.

"Orochimaru, you really didn't disappoint me."

At a certain moment, he opened his eyes and saw Orochimaru slowly walking out of the woods.

In fact, he had already left a mark on Orochimaru, and the other party could not escape. If Orochimaru refuses his invitation and does not appear, he will die at his hands shortly after, turning into a dead snake completely.

Years later, when Orochimaru recalled today, he would be extremely grateful that he made a correct decision.

In the shade, Kisame and Orochimaru stood opposite each other, staring at each other.

"Hoshigaki Kisame-sama, it is my honor to serve a Kage like you. From now on, I am willing to follow you by your side and help you realize your dream of immortality."

Orochimaru bowed to Kisame, but his eyes flickered when he bowed his head, not knowing if he was telling the truth.

Kisame noticed this detail, but didn't care.

Because for him, it doesn't matter whether Orochimaru is loyal or not, as long as he can help him in practicing the Eight branches jutsu and complete evolution.

Orochimaru can betray Kisame at any time, and Kisame can also obliterate Orochimaru at any time.

The two of them worked together now, but it doesn't prevent them from having their own thoughts.

Suddenly.

"Cough, cough..." Orochimaru's complexion changed dramatically, he knelt on the ground with a plop and coughed violently, and soon coughed up a pool of blood, dyeing the ground dark red.

This body of his has gone through several battles successively, and was tortured by Nagato, Konoha, and Kakuzu in turns, and it is almost completely destroyed.

Kisame can see that the fire of Orochimaru is very weak, and it may be extinguished at any time. He is afraid that Orochimaru will not live long.

"Kisame-sama, I have to ask you for a leave."

Orochimaru coughed for a while, raised his head, and explained the reason to the ghost shark, "I have a base in the Land of Fire, where I store my useful body. I must complete the replacement of the body as soon as possible. If it goes well, it may take half a month to come back and start working."

After speaking, he waited anxiously for Kisame's response. After all, he had just agreed to work for Kisame, but as soon as he came up, he asked for half a month's leave. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like an excuse to escape.

However, to his surprise, Kisame readily agreed.

"Go early and return early."

Kisame simply left this sentence and turned to leave without showing any doubt about Orochimaru.

Orochimaru looked at Kisame's back and was stunned for a while, then he came back to his senses, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then set off immediately.

A few days later, Shikkotsu Forest.

In an open space, Tsunade separated several shadow clones and sat cross-legged in a circle. Her senjutsu training had reached the final stage.

At a certain moment, several shadow clones turned into white smoke and disappeared with a poof, and a lot of memory and experience returned to Tsunade's body.

Tsunade frowned as she digested and absorbed, and it took a while.

She slowly opened her eyes.

At the same time, around her eyes, like Kisame and Hashirama, black eye shadow appeared. Between her eyebrows, a circular pattern like a black sun emerged, surrounding the purple diamond-shaped Yin seal on her forehead, making her exude a mysterious and noble temperament.

"Success."

Tsunade murmured, her eyes brightened, and she stood up with a look of joy.

She could feel that her body was now filled with a huge senjutsu chakra, surging like an inexhaustible seawater.

So, Tsunade looked forward and gave a low shout after forming a seal with both hands.

"Haaa!"

'Rumble.'

A huge wooden dragon burst out from behind her. The huge dragon head carried her body and flew into the air. The dragon body stretched for dozens of meters behind her.

Mokuton Wood Dragon jutsu.

Tsunade nodded with satisfaction, but apparently she wasn't finished yet. She jumped down from the dragon's head, and when she landed on the ground, she pressed her palm to the ground.

The ground shook violently and a big tree rose from the ground, and soon it grew to ten meters, thirty meters, fifty meters... until one hundred meters, and finally transformed into a wooden golem.

Senpo: Wooden golem.

Tsunade stood in the space above the wooden golem's head, looking down at the Shikkotsu Forest below and the sea in the distance, in a good mood.

Once, when she saw Kisame turn on the Sage mode and summoned the wooden golem, she hated it so much that it itched her, but she was powerless and could only be envious.

Now, she finally did it, and summoned a wooden golem that was not inferior to Kisame's, and no longer had to look at his proud face.

At this time.

'Um?'

With the powerful perception ability she gained via Sage Mode, Tsunade suddenly discovered that someone came to the Shikkotsu Forest at an unknown time, on the ground next to the wooden golem's feet.

The corners of her mouth twitched, pretending to not notice them, she manipulated the wooden golem to lift one foot, and stepped down heavily in that direction.

On the ground, Kisame watched in amazement as the wooden golem's big feet fell towards his head, like a mountain collapsed, making him unable to avoid it.

Seeing that he was about to be trampled to death by a wooden golem, a sage mask appeared on his face in an instant.

'Swish.'

The ghost shark who turned on the Sage mode quickly formed a seal, and finally put his hands together and created a huge shield in front of him.

This wooden shield, with a diameter of more than 30 meters, was engraved with a fangs grimace. It just lay on the ground and protected Kisame inside the shield.

Senju Hashirama once used it to block the frontal slash of Madara's Susanoo, and the surface of the wall was unscathed.

'Boom!'

The next second, the wooden golem's big foot stepped on the surface of the shield, making a loud noise, causing the ground to vibrate and setting off countless dust.

"Oh?"

Tsunade saw that her sneak attack didn't work, and was actually defended by Kisame, and felt was very upset. She snorted coldly and jumped directly from the top of the wooden golem's head, falling to the ground like a meteor.

Sage mode full powered punch!

Tsunade fell from the sky as she raised her fist in the process, and a powerful airflow erupted from her body. The loose clothes were blown loudly, and the punch slammed into the surface of the wall.

'Click.'

With a crisp sound, the grimace on the surface of the shield split from the nose, and the cobweb-like cracks spread to the entire face.

The ninjutsu, which is known as absolute defense, was actually cracked by Tsunade with a fist.

It can be seen that her talent and strange power has reached a terrifying level under the blessing of the Senjutsu Chakra.

However, just when Tsunade felt proud.

'Shhhhhh.'

From the hole on the surface of the shield, a dozen thick wooden vines suddenly shot out, entangling Tsunade's body in an instant, tying her up and dragged her into the shield.

'Boom! boom! boom!'

Inside the shield, there was a dull sound of physical collision, mixed with Tsunade's screaming and angry shouts, indicating that a fierce hand-to-hand battle was taking place inside.

After ten seconds.

'Boom!'

On the side of the shield, a big hole was knocked out. Kisame and Tsunade were entangled with their hands and feet, hugged each other, and flew out from the inside.

'Ruuuu, ruuuu.'

The two of them took turns being pressed under each other, and rolled dozens of times on the ground before finally stopping after rolling out a distance of hundreds of meters.

In the end, it was Tsunade who had the upper hand, only to see her blond hair messy, her face flushed from vigorous exercise, riding on Kisame as she raised her fist and punched him in the face.

Kisame tilted its head and avoided the punch.

'Boom.'

Tsunade's fist landed on the ground, and suddenly made a big hole, causing the ground under both of them to sink by dozens of centimeters, and a lot of cracks appeared.

It is conceivable that if this punch hits Kisame's face, what terrible consequences will be.

"You really want to kill me?"

Kisame heartbeat suddenly rose, and a large number of chakra lines were shot from the index finger of the right hand, which ran up and down Tsunade's body, tied her up again, and tightened her clothes tightly, showing a seductive shape.

"Damn bastard!"

Tsunade shouted, and a powerful force erupted from her body again, breaking all the chakra threads wrapped around his body.

But the next second, a shark tail shot out from between Kisame's legs, like a flexible snake, wrapping Tsunade's plump body tightly, and releasing a dazzling lightning.

'Sizzle.'

Under the continuous attack of lightning, although Tsunade's Sage body was not defeated, she was inevitably paralyzed and lost the ability to resist.

Kisame took the opportunity to turn over and in turn pressed Tsunade under him.

Then, he showed a stern smile, raised a fist and dropped it towards Tsunade's delicate face.
