Chapter 96: The Transparent World; Earth-Shattering Star

(Million words)

[Why are there three more...]

Kyuubi looked at these ring-eyed humans through Anjuro's body, completely confused.

Are the old man's eyes so worthless? Are these people doing wholesale or what? Why are they jumping out one by one like cockroaches...

But no matter how you look at it, the reason why these people have the Samsara Eye is not like the type of illusion that Uchiha Madara used when he controlled him, otherwise it would not make it so uncomfortable.

Kyuubi: [What is the relationship between these guys? 】

[I have already made some assumptions. 】

Xingjulang was still stuck on Zhu Shengdao's neck.

He was very familiar with the coldness and stiffness coming from his palms.

This is simply a dead person!

Recalling the stagnant chakra of the short-haired young man when he used Kagura's Heart Eye at Akatsuki's headquarters before, and the "sixth" speech made by Shura Dao just now, he asked loudly: "Mr. Payne! These people, In fact, it’s already a corpse, right?”

Only in this way can all kinds of strange things be explained.

The humans with circle eyes in front of them, as well as the psychic beasts with short black sticks on their heads, should all be puppets controlled by someone remotely!

Their expressions were stiff and highly unified, and their condescending tone when speaking was also the same, simply because the puppeteers of these puppets were the same person.

"Nice insight."

Shura Dao had a scary smile on his face.

Although there was appreciation in his voice when he praised Anjuro, it immediately turned into deep fear.

“But now that you know this level of information, I can’t let you leave this place.

"Purgatory Anjuro... You are the first opponent who can make Pain's six paths move together, which is enough to be proud of. This is something that even many famous ninjas cannot do..."

"As expected!"

Anjuro's golden eyes glanced back and forth at several opponents.

At the same time, he was also thinking that since it was the "Six Paths of Pain", there should be another one. Where did that person go?

"The legendary Immortal Eye is used by you as a tool to desecrate the body of the dead. Mr. Payne, after knowing this, I am already a little angry!

"When I think that I regarded you as my opponent to train myself just a few minutes ago, I really can't be proud at all. Compared to that, I want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it!"

Hearing that Anjuro stopped using honorifics, Pain understood his attitude.

"Are you saying this to make me feel guilty? It's useless. Humanity's short-sighted morality has no restraint on me. It is just a heavy shackle that limits our potential. If you want to do great things, , you must stand on the other side of good and evil, and do whatever it takes to achieve your goal. No matter how cruel the process is, as long as there is a good result, all previous losses are just investment.

"Look at these tools. When they were alive, they were just a group of mediocre sentient beings who were at the mercy of fate like weeds. Although they are dead now, the power I gave them is more than ten times stronger than before. "

Shura Tao exported his own values ​​condescendingly: "For them, participating in my plan and becoming one-sixth of God is the greatest honor before and after death.

"Otherwise, relying on their own consciousness and talent, even if they can survive for a thousand or ten thousand years, what value will it have to the world? Only by becoming a chess piece in my hand, and with the help of this invincible absolute power, can we truly achieve something. Contribute and bring peace to the world. They couldn't understand this when they were still the masters of their own bodies..."

"Please stop talking!"

Hearing this, Anjuro's eyes gradually changed from the excitement of "meeting an opponent" to one of indifference when facing the enemy.

Just like when I first encountered the third string.

From birth to death, he completely trampled on human dignity and used them as a tool to realize his ambitions.

There is no essential difference between this and Tsuji Muzan, who turns people into ghosts and uses them to explore the possibility of overcoming sunlight.

"If this is what God says..."

Xingjulang shook his head regretfully, "I beggar you to disagree!"

"...I don't expect you to understand immediately after hearing this. After all, you are still too young and still worship heroes. But in the future, you will know that such a person does not exist at all. Nothing can be accomplished with childlike kindness.”

Shura Dao's tone became impatient, "And if people want to grow, they must experience enough pain!"

Shura Dao Pain's feet emitted a terrifying sonic boom, and rushed towards Xing Jurou at a terrifying speed that was incomprehensible to ordinary people, like a large cannonball with a strange smile.

Anjuro didn't have the Sharingan, so he couldn't see clearly what was happening, but he still relied on his innate intuition to draw the sword out of his body, and swung the blade from bottom to top in an Iai posture.

In an instant, an arc-shaped ring of fire with a radius of more than two meters bloomed——

"Type Two: Blazing Flames Ascend to Heaven!"

This is the defensive counter-attack sword type in Breath of Fire that is specially used to deal with the enemy's sudden advance.

Now that he knew that the other party was not a living person, Xingjuro acted as cruelly as if he were facing an evil spirit.

If the opponent attacks head-on without any weapons, there will only be one outcome - being cut vertically in half by this attack.

Although Shura Dao's body will be severely damaged, at least it will no longer be used by Pain.

However, Kyojuro miscalculated one point, that is, the hardness of Shurado Pain's skull——

In Kyojuro's eyes, the outermost fire ring was as he thought, and almost immediately burned Shurado's scalp.

But after this guy's scalp faded, what was exposed was not a human skull, but hard metal that could reflect the fire, and this metal was not affected by the high temperature.

"What?!"

The surprise did not last long. Shurado had passed through the high-temperature fire ring, and his head collided with Kyojuro's sword blade.

"Dang——————"

The fairly strong blade seemed to hit the best quality diamond, and it only lasted for a moment before it shattered!

It was too late for Kyojuro to mobilize the diamond blockade at this time. Shurado, who continued to move forward, hit him hard in the chest.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he was taken away by Shurado, and the animal road in his left hand also fell on the way and was picked up by the hell road waiting beside him.

During the flight, Shurado's head was on Kyojuro's chest, and his hands were hammering his ribs fiercely. He stopped suddenly until he heard the sound of bones breaking, and kicked Kyojuro away with a flying kick.

Then his right fist broke away from his wrist again, like a small missile, chasing Kyojuro.

The latter was in a trance, and before he had time to dodge, his body was controlled by the rushing Tendou Pain with the Wanxiang Tianyin. He stopped in the air for a moment and was completely hit by Shurado's uppercut that spanned 20 meters. His head was shaking violently and he couldn't think at all. He was immediately blown away by the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei and collided head-on with the bloated Hungry Ghost Road on the water. He was pierced through by the black short stick pulled out of the other party's sleeve.

"Ah!"

Kyojuro screamed in pain as the black stick penetrated his abdomen.

He didn't know what the short stick was made of. After his body was pierced by it, the chakra that was originally intended to use the diamond seal froze for a moment.

"Feel it well... What is pain and despair? This is the most important lesson I have taught you."

Then, Hungry Ghost Road coldly pressed his palm on the top of Kyojuro's head.

A terrifying suction force surged from his palm, continuously drawing out the chakra in Kyojuro's body!

[Kyojuro! ]

Kyuubi felt this intense pain and roared in anger, but there was nothing he could do!

But at this speed of chakra extraction, it was only a matter of time for Kyojuro to be killed.

[Could it be that this kid is really going to die here today? ]

[Ahhhh! I told you to run away! Why didn't you listen to me! ]

Kyuubi was extremely anxious.

After so many years, it was rare for a human who was pleasing to the eye to take him out of the cage. Was he going to die like this?

At the same time.

In Konoha Village, Naruto, who was training with Sasuke in actual combat, suddenly felt a palpitation, made a mistake in his movements, and was knocked to the ground by a punch.

"Yellow hair, what are you doing?"

Sasuke looked at his fist in confusion, "You gave your meal to Hinata Hyuga, and came to training on an empty stomach, right?"

However, Naruto was half-kneeling and half-crouching on the ground, motionless, which made Sasuke feel uneasy, and he quickly squatted down to check on Naruto.

As a result, he just reached out to pry Naruto's face, but found that this guy was crying.

"Sasuke..." Naruto covered his chest and frowned and said, "I feel that something very bad has happened!"

Sasuke had never seen Naruto like this, his face turned pale, and he thought of Giyu and Kyojuro outside for no reason, and he also fell into panic.

[You, please don't be in trouble...]

Outside the Hidden Rain Village.

Kyojuro's huge amount of chakra continued to be lost, and the whole person became visibly weaker.

Because the chakra in his body was disturbed by the black short stick and suction, he couldn't even maintain his breathing method, let alone mobilize the diamond blockade to fight back.

But to make matters worse, in order to make Kyojuro feel enough pain, the floating Tendou Pain stood behind Kyojuro, stretched out a short stick from his sleeve, stabbed Kyojuro's back fiercely, and kept twisting, letting the bright blood flow down along Kyojuro's abdominal muscles.

[Breathe! Keep breathing! Kyojuro! ]

This time, Kyojuro did not make a sound of pain, but did everything possible to isolate the pain, using breathing methods to resist the interference of the iron rod and the hungry ghosts on his own chakra.

But under the double suppression, he had little effect.

The pain of the flesh itself did not affect him much. He had experienced more difficult times and had some experience.

It was just that the hungry ghosts absorbed chakra from the top of his head, which made his brain constantly impacted and it was difficult to concentrate. As a result, a new idea was forgotten immediately after it came into being, and his brain was completely confused.

Gradually, with the loss of a large amount of chakra, he gradually fell into a trance, and found an indescribable tranquility in extreme pain and confusion.

At this moment, Kyuubi's voice came out again.

[Kyojuro! Can you hear me? ! ]

Kyojuro suddenly woke up.

He remembered that this was the state that Giyuu always talked about, but he himself had never really experienced, as if everything in front of him had fallen into stillness.

In this still space and time, Xingjuro cast his sight on the Hungry Ghost Path, but at a glance he could see through his skin and bones, how his technique worked, and the reaction between this technique and his own body.

His brain began to think at several times the normal speed, and then re-run the breathing method, in a way that was completely opposite to the hungry ghost path, mobilizing his own chakra away from the brain——

It turns out that this is the "transparent world"!

The next moment, the speed of time and space in Anjuro's eyes returned to normal.

Hungry Ghost Dao was surprised to find that his "Sealing Technique Suction Seal" could no longer absorb it. The young man he was pressing with his hands was clearly providing a steady stream of chakra a second ago, but now he seemed to have suddenly turned into a hollow piece of wood.

"what happened……"

Hungry Ghost Road raised his gaze and met those golden-red pupils, but Xingshourou, who had been in a trance to the point of losing his consciousness, was staring at him seriously.

Not only that, after learning to see through the world, Anjuro also directly mobilized his chakra meridians like a righteous hero, puffed up his cheeks without warning, and sprayed a red fireball at the Hungry Ghost Path.

"Fire Release·Fire Bullet!"

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

All of Pain's visions are the same. In order to prevent Hungry Ghost Road from being blown off by Anjuro's fire escape to the face, Tiandao immediately flew away Anjuro who was spitting fire.

After being pushed hard by the repulsive force, the latter's body continued to slide and collide on the water until the kinetic energy it endured gradually diminished. Then he used the diamond chain to hook a rock in the center of the lake, completed the body protection, and lay low with bloody wounds. land.

【how did you do that? 】

Kyuubi's surprised voice came.

【You actually got rid of that guy! 】

"You were too careless just now!"

Anjuro had to concentrate more than before at this moment, so he simply gave an explanation, gritted his teeth, pulled out the two short black sticks stuck in his body and threw them into the lake.

Then he put his hands over the two blood holes that were bleeding continuously, exuding a glistening green light.

With the combination of medical ninjutsu and world penetration, as well as the small amount of chakra in Kyuubi's body, Anjuro can heal much faster than in the past, but it still takes time.

Fortunately, Pain seemed surprised that he could escape the Hungry Ghost Path's technique, and did not chase him immediately. Instead, he gave Anjuro a chance to breathe.

However, they are not completely idle.

Hell Dao, who had not taken action, summoned the strange stone sculpture of Yama, while Heavenly Dao Payne grabbed the animal Dao and threw it into Yama's open mouth.

After a creepy chewing sound, Yama opened his mouth and spat out another intact beast.

[What a story about the river god and the axe. 】

Anjuro was treating himself while quietly witnessing all this without much surprise.

If the Immortal Eye didn't have any means to recover from injuries, he would find it incredible.

"A moment of victory means nothing at all."

Shura Dao touched his head.

There was a bomb installed there that could blow up half of Yuyin Village, so the shell above his head was the hardest part of his body.

This is the reason why he still dared to charge forward even though he knew that Anjuro was extremely powerful and had superb sword skills.

"The Six Paths of Pain can be restored at any time, but now you are seriously injured and have lost your weapon. As a result, even the most exquisite sword skills will not be effective. And your fire escape ninjutsu that can be activated without sealing is useless to you. To the hungry ghost world, it’s just superfluous food.”

Speaking of this, Payne's tone softened a little, and even sounded a bit like a discussion.

"Do you still want to struggle? Infernal Anjuro. You have already learned what pain is. After feeling this chasm-like gap, do you want to continue to resist the power of God?"

While they were talking, they did not forget to surround Anjurou, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and with a broken weapon.

After just a few minutes, it became clear that there were a lot of things wrong with this kid. If he still wanted to resist, it would be best if all five Payns were sent out at the same time.

But no matter how you look at it, what awaits Xing Julang is death.

However, under the gaze of five pairs of samsara eyes, the latter slowly stood up, and the perforated wound had largely healed.

His only problem now is that he doesn't have much chakra left in him. If he wants to deal with Pain, he must do it quickly.

"When fighting with Yiyu, it is normal for weapons to be destroyed."

Just when the Pains were wondering "who is the righteous hero?", three golden chains stretched out from the left, right and front three sides of Anjuro's arms, and began to intertwine with each other, continuously extending forward, and quickly formed a new whole.

Just one second later, the tangled chains gradually straightened and turned into a golden, ten-character spear that was more than three meters long, and was held in Anjuro's hand.

"How could I be so unprepared?!"

As we all know, sword masters with the title of Sword Master have great spear skills per capita.

As a descendant of the Purgatory clan from a swordsman family, how could he not know how to use a gun!

The blazing flame suddenly surged out, dyeing the entire gun body red, and drew a huge circular trajectory in the air, causing all Payne to retreat.

"One type·Shiranui!"

At this moment, Anjuro had turned into a red trajectory, heading straight towards the hell path that could repair other Pain.

His goal is very clear. Only by destroying this guy first will he not make useless efforts.

[We can’t let him succeed. 】

Tiandao immediately saw Anjuro's purpose, but considering that Hell Dao was not fast enough to dodge the attack, he had no choice but to take action himself.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

Anjuro, who was about to pierce the hell path with one shot, suddenly stopped and flew towards Tendou Pain involuntarily.

However, he did not panic in mid-air. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity to turn his body and threw the Jumonji Gun attached to the golden chain at Tendo Payne, as if he had expected such a thing to happen!

Unlike before when he needed Kyuubi's reminder, Anjuro can now see the flow of chakra in Pain's body before using his eyes only, and prepare countermeasures in advance!

Ever since, the suction force of the Ten Thousand Elements + the huge force of Xingshou Lang's big gun made the extremely sharp golden edge almost unstoppable, and Tiandao himself immediately fell into an existential crisis.

"Shenra Tianzheng."

There was no other way. In order to prevent himself from being injured, Tiandao could only eject the big gun that had already arrived in front of him, along with Anjuro!

But what he didn't expect was that when Anjuro flew upside down in the air, several chains protruded from his back and clanged against the barrel of the big gun, deflecting the movement of the Jumonji Gun. The two were connected. The golden chain was further extended, and it actually hit the animal path that had just been "resurrected" shortly before it had time to summon the psychic beast!

Under the terrifying repulsion of Shinra Tianzheng, the elongated and tight diamond chain was as sharp as a guillotine, directly cutting the animal path in half!

【He is using my technique! This is already the second time. 】

Tiandao Payne couldn't believe it.

He couldn't figure out how Anjuro did it, but the current situation didn't allow him to think too much.

After Anjuro succeeded in one blow, the golden chain connecting the big gun immediately retracted, dragging the cross-word gun back into his hand again.

The big spear was re-dyed with a layer of golden-red flames, just like Anjuro's unique hair color, and then stabbed downwards with a bang.

"Five Types: Flame Tiger!"

There is no need for a complete Flame Tiger, but a huge tiger palm slaps the water surface hard, using the reaction force to stop Anjuro's continued downward trend, and at the same time splashing countless water splashes that obscure his sight, making him briefly disappear among all the people wearing it. In the eyes of grace.

And a second later, the water splash fell, and a red light swept towards the hell realm like a comet.

This time, the "One Type Shiranui" was twice as fast as before.

Payne never expected that Anjuro could be faster, especially after being injured.

When he reacted, a golden light flashed past, and Hell Dao's head had already flown out. Then it was caught in mid-air by the chain behind Anjuro's back and hung on his waist——

He was not sure whether this guy would have any "automatic resurrection" ability. At the moment, it was safest to use a diamond chain to block the chakra.

Just like that, the battle restarted in just five seconds. The cooldown of Tiandao Payne and Shinra Tianzheng had not yet ended. Two more people were injured among the six paths.

Also includes being able to restore their hell realm.

Nagato, who was far away in Yuyin Village, coughed heavily, and then his eyes showed strong anger, and he felt a huge threat.

On the other side, Xingjulang, who started to kill the hell path, did not proudly show off to Payne, but focused on another hungry ghost path on the water.

Just when he was about to repeat his old trick and continue to use the I-type to rush in and behead him instantly, Shura Dao's arm suddenly extended, and the dozen missiles stored in it flew towards him like locusts.

Anjuro had never seen that thing, but Kyuubi sensed that Pain's malice toward Anjuro had reached the point of "having to kill him." He knew in his heart that this must be a very lethal ninja tool, and quickly reminded him Him: "Flash!"

Hearing this, Anjuro immediately removed the chakra from the soles of his feet, and with the power of the weapon, he sank into the water like a stone——

At the same time, the diamond chains behind him were twisted together, and the tail end rotated like a propeller, pushing him deeper and quickly away from the place.

Soon, the missiles sank into the water one after another and exploded with a bang, and the water splash raised by each missile explosion was comparable to the Water Breath, Eight Forms, and Takitsubo that Giyuu used with all his strength in the waterless zone— —That is, the power that can destroy half of the Hokage building.

This terrifying movement, not to mention the few strange fish left in the lake were frightened and fled in all directions. Even the island where Yuyin Village was located was shaking. Xiaonan, who was knocked unconscious by Pain, was also shocked by this movement. Wake up in the middle...

"what happened?!

"Penn and Purgatory Anjuro, are they all over there?

"And the scale of the explosion just now is definitely from the Shura Dao."

She rubbed the back of her neck, which was still aching, and watched the water falling on the lake for a moment in silence. She spread her wings and quickly flew towards where Nagato's body was.

"You must, you must stop him."

On the lake.

After the explosion subsided, Tiandao Payne floated in the air, using his samsara eyes to carefully scan the chakra tracks below, turning a blind eye to the aquatic animal carcasses that had affected the fish in the pond.

A day ago, he would never have believed that anyone could survive such a bombardment——

In order to purchase those missiles, Kakuzu and Konan spent a total of 500 million!

But considering Anjuro's previous performance, Payne was less confident.

It's just that the corpses of the fish and frogs blocked his vision. His Samsara Eye had no clairvoyance function, and he could only control the Shura Dao with his left hand that turned into a machine gun to shoot wildly at the lake.

[The loss this time is really too great...]

Just as Payne was sighing silently, countless tiny bubbles suddenly burst out of the water at the foot of the Hungry Ghost Path. Then, the dark water gradually turned into a golden red, and a low and distant roar could be faintly heard.

Hungry Ghost Road lowered his head, but a smile of success appeared on his lips.

"Why do you think I let Hungry Ghost Dao stand here!"

Hungry Ghost Road had no intention of hiding, he just knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "Sealing Technique and Absorbing Seal!"

Under the water, the flame tiger that was so close and about to engulf the Hungry Ghost Path suddenly twisted and transformed, turning into a ball of fiery red chakra and drilling into his palm.

"Got you!"

Then Hungry Ghost Road jumped up high and spread his palm towards the place where the humanoid chakra was reacting underwater——

A flame tiger that was no less powerful than Anjuro himself appeared suddenly and jumped into the water.

"Give it back to you intact!"

After another violent explosion, the humanoid chakra under the water disappeared together with Yanhu, disappearing very quickly, as if Anjuro himself failed to make a sneak attack and reaped the consequences.

However, combined with the previous battle, Hungry Ghost Dao was not only not happy at all, but looked away warily: "That's just a shadow clone!"

It turned out that he was right.

Six slender golden chains stretched out from the water below the Shura Road, quickly and accurately tied his hands and feet, and pulled him into the water.

"Delusion!"

In Yuyin Village, Nagato muttered.

He focused more of his attention on Shura Dao, trying to use the propeller at Shura Dao's feet to pull Xingjulang out of the water.

But then, he suddenly discovered with horror——

The connection between himself and the Shura Dao was abruptly severed!

Could it be said that Shura Dao was killed by Xing Julang the moment he entered the water?

[No, no, no, this is impossible. 】

Nagato turned his brain rapidly and suddenly realized: [It's the problem with the chain. 】

That chain should have the ability to seal chakra, but Anjuro had been using that thing as an auxiliary weapon before, so he didn't take it seriously!

Yes! That chain was the reason why Anjuro was not seriously injured by the Shinra Tensei! It can suppress and weaken the impact caused by chakra!

Unfortunately, Nagato understood it too late.

Two minutes later.

The water surface rippled, and Anjuro floated to the surface with his spear. The Hell Dao head hanging behind his body had also disappeared.

"No need to look for it anymore. I buried all three of them underwater!"

The three people he mentioned naturally refer to the animal path that was cut in half, the hell path that was beheaded, and the Shura path that was sealed and cut off by him.

"It's just the two of you now."

He could see that the hungry ghost who could absorb ninjutsu was not a big threat to him.

While on the water, Payne wanted to use the ability called "Shenra Tianzheng" to deal with him, but the effect would only be half, because there was no place around for impact, not to mention that he could wrap the King Kong Blockade around his body as armor.

In terms of physical skills, Anjuro has absolute confidence that the opponent will not be his opponent.

If Payne is only as capable as he appears to be, he's already lost.

"I really didn't expect that this would be the result..."

When he heard that his precious puppet was "buried", Tiandao Payne's forehead beat violently, and his tone gradually became nervous.

It took him nearly ten years to select and create these puppets, but now they were destroyed.

Except for that technique, all the methods that could be used to deal with Anjuro were used, but without exception they lost their effect.

Tiandao Payne knows very well that the reason why he is still standing is simply because he can fly...

Who is this guy?

Is the so-called power of God just a joke?

There's only...that one move left.

Tiandao Payne spoke again.

"Every time I think I value you enough, you always surprise me.

"But the reason why God is a God is because I have overwhelming power that humans absolutely cannot resist!"

As if he had made some major decision that would affect the world, the moment Payne finished speaking, the heavy rain covering the entire Aegakure and the lake suddenly stopped.

——Also stopped was the hungry ghost on the side. His entire body lost the supply of chakra and he suddenly fell down. He was immediately sucked up into the air by Pain and held motionless in his hand.

Then the two Penns flew higher and higher together, reaching a position where Anjuro could not do anything to them.

Anjuro didn't understand what happened at first.

While this Payne was talking about absolute power, he automatically cleared all the chakra in Hungry Ghost Path's body.

But now that the rain has stopped, it means that the barrier that has been preventing Anjuro from sensing has also disappeared!

He had no way to deal with Payne in the sky for the time being, so he immediately formed a seal to spread the perception range of Kagura's Heart Eye.

He wants to find the person behind all this.

Today, Anjojuro Kagura's inner eye has a perception range of five to eight kilometers, which is enough to encompass the entire Amegakure Village and detect the Chakara reaction of everyone there.

He quietly explored everything in Yuyin Village through perception, and then opened his eyes suddenly with a hint of solemnity.

[There is also a character with chakra similar to Tendo Payne. His chakra is not as rigid as a puppet, but his vitality is very weak...]

[Is that guy the manipulator behind these six puppets? 】

Now that he has found the rightful owner, Xingjulang knows that there is no need for him to stay here any longer.

Go face the person behind everything and take back the peace of the remaining three puppets!

In this way, while keeping vigilantly away from Tiandao Pain, he stepped on the water and ran towards Yuyin Village.

But what surprised him was that Payne in the sky seemed to have no intention of stopping him, his eyes were indifferent, as if he was looking at a dead person.

The next moment, Xingjulang stopped——

Without him, the chakra of the suspected Pain manipulator in Yuyin Village was almost wiped out in an instant!

【what happened? 】

Just when he was wondering what a person had to do to use up so much chakra in an instant, a small black ball that people couldn't ignore floated from the sky in Yuyin Village to this side.

At this time, Tiandao Payne, who had not been chasing Xingjulang, spoke quietly.

"You must repay the things you destroy yourself. I have reserved a place for you in one of the new six paths."

After saying that, Tendo Pain put Hungry Ghost Dome on his shoulders, slowly clasped his hands together, looked at the small black ball in the sky that was getting closer and closer to Anjuro, and read out a few syllables.

"Earth Explodes Heaven——"

He didn't finish reading.

A familiar voice interrupted him.

"Nagato!"

Anjuro, Tendo Pain and Nagato's body in the tower looked up to the sky.

I saw Xiao Nanzheng with his wings spread wide, floating next to the black ball, shouting loudly:

"Stop! Are you going to destroy Yuyin Village?!"

Obviously, she has seen the power of this small ball. This thing looks only a little smaller, but the damage it can cause cannot be compared even if all the detonating symbols she currently owns are multiplied by 10 and then detonated all.

As long as Payne activates the second step of this technique, everything will be irreversible...

"Penn. Stop it."

Konan can understand why Payne is so obsessed with defeating Anjuro - everything he has experienced has made him unable to face failure.

Seeing that Payne was silent and didn't reply, Xiaonan shed tears from the corner of her eyes. She felt so heartbroken that she actually reached out to touch the dark sphere!

Although that thing has no suction power for outside things before it is started. But if they touch it actively, those who are not strong enough will be immediately rolled into pieces and become part of the source of gravity.

Xiaonan is actually threatening death!

"don't want!"

Nagato and Pain yelled at the top of their lungs at the same time, then immediately reacted and hurriedly formed hand seals: "Earth Blast Star! Solution!"

Fortunately, the command was issued in time, and the black ball immediately collapsed and disappeared suddenly as if it was eaten by the air, while Xiaonan stood there intact.

Anjuro stopped where he was, watching Pain, whose chakra was less than 1%, slowly fall to the ground, a trace of happiness and fear flashed in his eyes.

It can be seen that whether it is activating or deactivating this technique, a huge amount of chakra is required. The power of that technique is evident.

At this point, Xingjulang understood that there was no one in this village who could be his enemy.

A few minutes later.

In the dim room filled with the pungent smell of herbs, Payne's true form, the skinny Nagato, was coughing violently while swallowing with difficulty.

Xiaonan fed him the medicine he had taken.

In order to save chakra, the remaining Heavenly Path, the Hungry Ghost Path, and the Human Path responsible for daily protection of Nagato all stood motionless in the corner like robots whose power was turned off.

Xingjulang stood aside and waited silently.

"You must be disappointed."

As if sensing Anjuro's gaze, Nagato waved Konan's hand to ask Konan to take the medicine bowl away, and looked at Anjuro from afar.

"The so-called god is just a cripple who is dying and needs someone to take care of him even to eat..."

"Nagato..." Konan frowned.

Sure enough, once he suffered a blow, Nagato would fall back into this state of extremely low self-esteem.

"A person like me actually wants to let you join Akatsuki... Ahem, with the power you have shown, it will only take a few years to completely surpass me. I already realized this halfway through, I just don’t want to admit it…”

Hearing what he said, Xingjuro didn't agree at all.

"No one in the world is a waste. Even if a person can't do anything, as long as he survives, he is meaningful to those who care about him. Mr. Nagato, in my opinion, you are just a person who has enough power but is too eager to use it. ! I just hope you can think more when making decisions! The more time you have, the more you should use this time to do the right thing!”

The last sentence made Xiaonan pause, and she didn't turn her head for a long time.

"...You are really well-educated. You must have had a...very good childhood."

Nagato's words were a bit off-putting, I don't know if he was expressing envy or sarcasm.

Xingjuro could see his loneliness and self-doubt, and knew that whatever he said today would be in vain: "It's almost dark now... You have consumed too much life force and chakra, you need to rest, I will come back tomorrow! "

He also left some time for Nagato and Konan to communicate.

After saying this, Xingjulang opened the heavy iron door and walked out.

"etc."

Nagato stopped him and asked a question.

"Have you ever met someone you couldn't defeat?"

Anjuro turned around, and he knew the subtext of Nagato's words, which was asking "Is there anyone stronger than Pain?"

"Yiyong is stronger than me."

"Dang clang." Xiao Nan's hand shaking the soup.

"Who is Yiyong?"

This was the second time Nagato heard this name today.

Anjuro replied calmly: "He is my friend."

Nagato suddenly had a bad feeling.

"He's older than you..."

"Nagato, it's time for you to rest."

Xiaonan suddenly walked between the two people, interrupted their continued communication, and took Xingjurou's shoulders to push him out of the door.

"I'm going to see Xingjulang off. There are still a few children waiting for him in the village."

"Then I'll take my leave!"

Although he was still a little concerned about those puppets, Anjuro knew that now was not the right time.

Nagato remained silent, watching the two disappear outside the door without saying anything.

outside.

"I'm so sorry today."

Konan looked at Anjuro's seemingly intact abdomen, "Does it really not need treatment?"

"Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine."

Xingjuro said with some gratitude: "Although I don't know what the last technique Mr. Nagato used, I always feel that I escaped a life-and-death crisis. This is also thanks to your help!

"By the way, can you do me one more favor?"

Xiaonan was slightly startled, "Please tell me."

"You should still remember the place where you bandaged up the volunteers last time, right?"

He lowered his head and took out a book from the scroll.

Konan's eyes didn't stay on the title of the book for too long, but he couldn't move when he saw the name of the author "Jiraiya".

"This book was entrusted to me by a righteous man. It said that three children once lived there. Later, they were assassinated and died unfortunately during the war. Now only their souls are left there. But the author of this book should be related to those three children. Their teachers are the same person! Before coming to the Land of Rain this time, Yiyong asked me to place this book in front of their memorial tablets..."

Xiaonan took it solemnly with both hands, her lips tightly closed, not knowing what she was thinking.

"But maybe it's a coincidence. There is a character in this novel also named Nagato. He is a young man who is very good at reasoning. Many of his words are thought-provoking..."

Anjuro glanced at the room where Nagato was hiding, and smiled heartily, "However, since you know that place, please help me bring the three children who died prematurely, so as to save me, a stranger. Go ahead and bother me!”

"I, I know."

When Xiaonan said this, she seemed to be back to her fragile and young age again, her voice choked up.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely bring this book to them."

"Then I'll leave it to you. One last thing, please help me tell Mr. Nagato."

Xing Jurou looked slightly solemn, "The eyes of the Sage of Six Paths are eating away at Mr. Nagato's life! Those are not his own eyes."

I was so dizzy writing it, I posted it first and then revised it.

There is no tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will be righteous and brave
