At this time, Nagato was not sitting on a chair, and he did not have a Chakra receiver plugged into him.
That is, after the last failure at the hands of Naruto.
Nagato abandoned the Six Paths of Pain and instead combined the abilities of the Six Paths into one.
Although the consumption of the Rinnegan is too much even for Nagato, the combat power of this form is far greater than any individual Path, even stronger than all Six Paths of Pain together.
Because Nagato created the Six Paths mainly to hide his identity and to control the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Now that Naruto is a threat, Nagato has to focus the Rinnegan's abilities on his own body first.
But unexpectedly, Nagato had just finished integrating the Rinnegan's abilities not long ago, and before he went to find Naruto, Naruto came to him.
But Nagato was not happy at all.
The Rinnegan has many abilities, including perception.
Nagato sensed Naruto's energy and felt a surge of fear in his heart.
There was no helping it — the power Naruto was using was too chaotic and too overwhelming.
When Naruto found this place, Nagato knew that this battle was inevitable.
At this moment, Konan, who heard the noise, also walked out of the tower.
She said to Nagato, "Maybe we can win over Uzumaki Naruto."
But Nagato did not listen to Konan's opinion, and instead directly ordered her: "Go notify Sasori and Itachi."
Konan was silent for a moment, looking at Nagato's slightly deranged back, a bad premonition rising in her heart.
But instead of refuting Nagato, she activated her kekkei genkai-like Paper Technique, and her body turned into sheets of white paper that flew away.
Konan went to inform Sasori and Itachi.
Nagato quietly waited for Naruto to approach.
On the horizon—
A golden streak flew rapidly.
As the distance grew closer, Nagato vaguely saw a figure.
But Naruto was too fast. When Nagato finally saw clearly that it was Naruto, Naruto's figure was already hovering in the air right in front of him the next second.
Nagato raised his head, his expression becoming more solemn.
Naruto, on the other hand, looked down from above, his golden pupils sinking downward, staring intently at Nagato.
Naruto noticed the change in Nagato's body and said, "To defeat me, you integrated all the abilities of the Six Paths into yourself?"
Nagato didn't reply, and his body slowly floated upward until he was at the same height as Naruto.
The purpose of Naruto's visit this time was to destroy the Akatsuki organization.
Of course he knew about Uchiha Madara and the Ōtsutsuki clan.
But for now, there was no need for the Akatsuki to exist.
Naruto glanced down at the Rain Village below and asked Nagato, "Do you want to fight here?"
Both knew how powerful the other's ninjutsu was.
If they fought here—
Rain Village would likely cease to exist.
Nagato's expression trembled slightly, Naruto's question clearly stirring something in him.
Because even at this moment, Naruto still cared about protecting the innocent.
Nagato simply said: "Follow me."
Two figures, one leading and one following, quickly left the Rain Village.
Under Naruto's Kagura Mind's Eye perception, he noticed other members of Akatsuki were gathering.
But Naruto wasn't afraid.
Arriving at a deserted place, a battle between the two sides was about to begin.
Nagato acted first, raising his hand and firing a laser at Naruto.
Naruto's expression didn't change. He tilted his body slightly to avoid the attack, slipping past it with ease.
The next second, Nagato appeared right in front of him.
In Naruto's palm, a Rasengan condensed.
This time, Nagato reacted, subconsciously using Shinra Tensei.
A huge repulsive force struck Naruto.
But Naruto's body didn't budge.
Nagato's eyes widened, the rings in his Rinnegan shrinking rapidly.
Because this was the first time Shinra Tensei had no effect!
Naruto's strength was too high; even Shinra Tensei couldn't push him back.
Naruto's body was held in place by Shinra Tensei for several seconds.
During that moment, Konan's words flashed through Nagato's mind.
Nagato said to Naruto, "Naruto, do you really think this world is right?"
Naruto didn't answer.
The repulsive force of Shinra Tensei ended.
A Rasengan infused with Senjutsu Chakra and Nine-Tails Chakra slammed toward Nagato.
Nagato raised his hand and formed a transparent barrier in front of him.
The Rasengan hit the barrier like a stone sinking into the sea.
Naruto could sense the Chakra of his Rasengan being absorbed.
But…
What Naruto lacked the least was Chakra!
Fwoom—
When Naruto deliberately increased his Chakra output, a dazzling sphere of light expanded rapidly between Naruto and Nagato.
It didn't take long before it grew even larger than a Tailed Beast Bomb.
Nagato's absorption ability couldn't keep up, so he was forced to retreat.
The Rasengan exploded, and the disastrous aftermath engulfed Nagato.
Nagato gritted his teeth, staring at Naruto in shock.
At this moment, Nagato finally understood the massive difference between himself and Naruto.
No choice left!
He couldn't wait for Sasori and Itachi.
Nagato's expression hardened. He clasped his hands together and roared.
A small black sphere flew toward Naruto from Nagato's hand.
The irresistible force and gravity of Planetary Devastation erupted.
Naruto's body was pulled uncontrollably toward the black sphere, and the Chakra inside him showed signs of freezing and resisting.
Even Kurama panicked a little.
Kurama warned Naruto: "Naruto, don't get pulled in!"
"Don't worry." Naruto replied calmly.
Naruto had read the original story—he knew how to break Planetary Devastation.
You must destroy the black core with overwhelming force before the technique fully forms.
Once its core Chakra is disrupted, Planetary Devastation loses its power.
Naruto raised his hand and condensed a black sphere of energy.
This was the Big Rasenshuriken.
But unlike in the past, this Big Rasenshuriken was extremely special.
Because previous versions were made purely from Naruto's Chakra.
But this one was constructed from Senjutsu Chakra, Nine-Tails Chakra, and his own Chakra.
Its power had increased countless times.
The Big Rasenshuriken appeared, and after being strengthened by senjutsu and Kurama's power, its surface changed from black to black-gold.
Its surface looked calm, but inside, the Chakra was roaring violently.
Naruto raised his hand and launched the Big Rasenshuriken straight at the core of Planetary Devastation.
Because Planetary Devastation created gravitational pull, the Rasenshuriken flew toward it without resistance.
The two black spheres collided in the sky.
In that moment, Naruto felt the threat of death.
Streams of black energy collapsed endlessly.
The whole world darkened, as if signaling the end.
Naruto's brow twitched wildly. He instinctively connected to a distant Flying Thunder God mark and teleported away from the explosion site without hesitation.
And as soon as Naruto appeared where he had left his Shadow Clones—
He saw the sky in the distance collapsing.
A mass of black, chaotic energy continued expanding, with gravitational force inside pulling in everything nearby.
Once touched, it would devour everything.
