In the pouring rain, watching the Kitsune Ogre approach,
Deva Path suddenly let out a deep, cold shout, finally unleashing his signature technique --
Shinra Tensei!
The transcendent technique that controls the power of repulsion!
It's one of the special Ninjutsu granted by the Rinnegan's Kekkei Genkai.
By simply concentrating Chakra, he can repel everything around him, using himself as the center!
Unlike a shockwave, this is a special omnidirectional repulsive force that can block almost any attack that comes near, and can also be used as a powerful attack!
Whether it's trees, boulders, rivers, or hills, when released with Nagato's powerful Chakra, everything can be blasted away with a single Shinra Tensei!
At this moment, seeing the Kitsune Ogre approach, Nagato naturally used this move without hesitation.
His hands were aimed directly at the approaching Kitsune Ogre, his gaze flickering as Chakra rapidly fluctuated. In an instant, a fierce, invisible repulsive force spread outwards!!
"--!?"
Seeing this, even Konan, off to the side, couldn't help but change her expression slightly, immediately using her Dance of the Shikigami to quickly retreat to the side.
After all, this Shinra Tensei technique was not a single-target attack, but a genuine area-of-effect ninjutsu.
Even she would inevitably be caught in its range.
And at this moment,
All the surrounding heavy rain seemed, in that instant, to be cleared away by the spreading repulsive force in a flash!
The Kitsune Ogre opposite was also instantly covered by the repulsive force's range!
However,
The next moment, a scene that left everyone present dumbfounded appeared,
The Kitsune Ogre ahead still stood leisurely in place, holding his white blade, unmoving.
Boom!!!!
Suddenly, Deva Path on this side, who was performing the technique, was actually blasted backwards!!!
His Akatsuki robe was directly torn apart by the force, and even the Amegakure's forehead protector on his head was instantly shattered!!
And his body, like a kite with a broken string, crashed directly onto the ground in the distance!
"???!"
Seeing this bizarre scene,
In that instant, not to mention Konan, even Obito, watching from a distance, couldn't help but have his pupils contract, stunned on the spot.
What the hell is going on?!
Deva Path, who released Shinra Tensei... actually, sent himself flying?!!
And,
He was even injured by the backlash...?!
After witnessing this incomprehensible scene,
In an instant, their thoughts directly interrupted, dumbfounded on the spot.
Incomprehensible!
The Kitsune Ogre opposite seemed completely defenseless!
Yet,
After being hit by the repulsive wave, he was completely unharmed?!!
Instead, it was Pain here who was blasted away by the recoil of the repulsion...?
The rain gathered again, the world fell silent.
Konan's expression stiffened as she turned her head, once again looking towards the blasted Deva Path in the distance.
Deva Path, as a puppet controlled by Nagato's Rinnegan, was essentially immortal.
Therefore, she wasn't worried about Pain's injuries,
But about Nagato.
Since even the strongest Shinra Tensei couldn't affect that Kitsune Ogre in the slightest, how could he fight next?
Rely on the Asura Path's relentless bombardment?
Impossible...
Just moments ago, Asura Path's long-range rocket wrist was easily crushed; and less than a second after engaging in close combat, it was blasted away.
Rely on the Human Path's soul extraction?
Even more impossible, he didn't even have a chance to get close to the Kitsune Ogre...
Not to mention the Preta Path.
The ability to absorb Chakra was completely useless against this Kitsune Ogre's strange slashes...
It was like he was cheating...
And at this moment,
What she didn't know was,
In the distant Akatsuki's base, Nagato, remotely controlling the Pains, was also slightly stunned at this moment.
His pupils constricted slightly, his breath involuntarily caught in his throat.
What on earth is going on...
What kind of terrifying power does this man possess...?!
Nagato couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
This kind of terrifying opponent...
In his past ten-plus years of combat experience, he had never seen anyone like this!
Even the strongest legendary Shinobi, the Demi-God Hanzo the Salamander,
Was vulnerable before the Six Paths of Pain controlled by the Rinnegan.
And now...
This white-bladed Kitsune Ogre from Las Noches,
Was completely unharmed!
From beginning to end,
He was as leisurely as if taking a walk...
Damn...!!
Is this... the legendary strength of the Las Noches Kitsune Ogre?!
Realizing this,
Nagato couldn't help but clench his teeth tightly.
He had realized,
Although the Kitsune Ogre opposite hadn't made many moves...
But,
Every time he did, he almost precisely destroyed one of the Pains!!
And it was always a crushing victory!
Whether it was Asura Path, Preta Path, or Human Path, none of them could last a single round!
And now,
Even Deva Path, the linchpin, had been directly blasted away by the recoil of his own Shinra Tensei!
And what shocked Nagato even more was,
That recoil force just now seemed to have been amplified by some power, far exceeding the level he had previously released...
There must be some unknown power hidden within...!
At this moment,
A feeling of awe, absent for a long time, appeared in Nagato's heart.
This was a strange feeling that had never appeared since the establishment of the new Akatsuki...
And he began to realize --
He must... find a way to find the weakness of the Kitsune Ogre's abilities!
Otherwise,
There was no way to defeat him!
Thinking this,
Nagato immediately calmed his mind and gritted his teeth!
It seemed he would have to use Animal Path to take a gamble!
Try to see if he could exhaust the opponent's stamina by amplifying the summoned beasts!
Thinking this,
Nagato immediately focused his mind and began to manipulate the Animal Path.
To be honest,
He hadn't considered using the Animal Path initially, as its abilities were more suited for large-scale combat.
Against a single enemy, it wasn't necessary.
But now,
There was no choice.
If he didn't use it now, he probably wouldn't get another chance!
And what he intended to use now,
Was precisely the Animal Path's specialty — the Amplification Summoning Technique!
This was a "Summoning Technique" with special conditions
The summoned beast is imbued with a condition such as "multiply upon being attacked" at the moment of summoning.
And in the ensuing battle, as long as this condition is triggered, the summoned beast will automatically activate the proliferation technique, splitting one into two, two into four!
With the enemy's attacks, their numbers would continuously increase, subjecting the enemy to an endless cycle of attacks!
Thus achieving the goal of annihilating the enemy or exhausting their stamina!
In the blink of an eye,
Under the heavy rain, the long-haired Animal Path instantly began to form hand seals, pressing both hands to the ground.
A black summoning formation instantly extended from beneath his palms!
Then, he let out a low shout:
"Summoning Technique · Amplification Summon..."
However,
Before he could finish speaking,
In an instant, a sudden change occurred!!
The Kitsune Ogre, who had been standing ahead just moments ago, suddenly turned into an afterimage, disappearing from the spot!!
Whoosh!
The next moment, like a phantom, he directly appeared behind the Animal Path!
The storm he kicked up even severed the surrounding rain layer like a blade!!
And then,
Without hesitation, he swung his blade down!
Boom!!!
Moon-white light surged from the blade like raging flames, completely covering and engulfing the Animal Path's figure!!
Bang!!!!!!
A violent explosion rang out, white flames shot into the sky, destroying everything around!!
And Animal Path, with his summoning technique not yet released, had his Chakra completely severed.
A moment later,
The moon-white flames faded, and Animal Path body lay on the ground,
Motionless, still.
From beginning to end,
Not a single summoned beast appeared.
