Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 264 Stop, Nagato! (4K)

"Who are you?!"

Shuiyue instinctively dodged away, and then saw the little girl cover her mouth and giggle softly, her voice like a silver bell.

She wore a round, spherical crown, and her long, golden eyes, with a touch of allure, looked at Shuiyue, sending a chill down his spine.

What's most terrifying is the way she appeared; it wasn't like she emerged from the smoke and dust, but rather like she suddenly transformed from transparent into a physical entity.

"A ghost! A ghost!" Suigetsu couldn't help but scream, but Sasuke, who was standing nearby, stopped her.

"Don't be nervous, they are our own people."

Shuiyue looked at Sasuke and found that his body had returned to normal, and the dragon horns on his forehead had disappeared.

This indicates that his Sage Chakra is almost depleted, and he needs to regroup it before he can use it again.

"Sasuke?" Suigetsu pointed to a scale on Sasuke's chest. Sasuke replied nonchalantly:
"It's alright. The Dragon Cave Immortal Technique has extremely high requirements for the control of natural energy. My body has shown symptoms of backlash, and some scales have grown."

This phenomenon is similar to how Jiraiya's appearance turned into a toad after activating Sage Mode.

This indicates that Sasuke has not yet mastered the most perfect Sage Mode, but it's not surprising, given that he hasn't been practicing Sage Mode for very long.

"Then, them...?"

Shuiyue pointed shakily at the little girl beside her. The little girl stuck out her tongue at Shuiyue and disappeared again like a phantom.

Sasuke fixed his gaze on the remaining Pain members and said:
"They are the high-ranking members of Ryuchi Cave, and also the White Phosphorus Serpents who have cultivated for hundreds of years, the 'gatekeepers' in the trials of cultivation."

The three goddesses of Ryuchi Cave each possess unique magical arts, and all share common traits such as levitation, invisibility, and the ability to transform into human form.

For example, the blue-clad loli named Ichikishima-hime used an invisibility ability enhanced by Sage Chakra, so ordinary sensory ninjutsu could not detect her presence.

"It's coming, Shuiyue!"

"Oh, do we still want to go?"

Just as Suigetsu was wondering what was going on, she saw Sasuke already charging towards Pain!

"Damn it!" He gritted his teeth and immediately followed behind Sasuke.

The three sages are Sasuke with Mangekyou Sharingan and Suigetsu Hozuki, who is missing his greatsword. Pain has temporarily lost the Preta Path and the Asura Path.

Pain looked at the snake-headed woman biting the Asura Path and raised his hand to unleash Shinra Tensei, but she chuckled and disappeared into the thickening fog.

The immortal known as Princess Tsurugi usually appears as a red-clad shrine maiden. She can induce hallucinations through poison and attack the mind of her enemies.

Just as Hell Path was about to take a step forward, he suddenly found that the surrounding environment had changed abruptly, and what was originally a ruin had transformed into a luxurious celestial palace.

His teammates disappeared, and he heard a woman's soft voice beside him:
"A powerful Rinnegan user... If I were to have a hearty meal, would my cultivation level advance further?"

Tianxin Shenji spoke the most vicious threat in a gentle tone. Hell Path felt a chill in his heart and immediately began to use his eye technique to resist the illusion, trying to break free immediately.

The same thing happened to all the remaining Payne.

On one hand, the three goddesses used sage magic to conceal their forms, and on the other hand, they used illusion magic and poison to disrupt Pain's senses.

This cannot be easily resolved by simply suppressing it with eye power; the strength of the Sage and the energy consumed by the Six Paths of Pain must also be taken into account.

After fighting Gaara, escaping Jiraiya's pursuit, and engaging in several rounds of attrition battles with Sasuke, Nagato's main body was beginning to show signs of exhaustion.

The animal realm continuously summoned centipedes and hellhounds, attempting to tear apart all the illusions around them.

Human Path launched a series of taijutsu attacks on Princess Ichikishima, unaware that she had already summoned a rock cave to imprison him and was continuously absorbing his chakra.

The Hell Path summons Yama, attempting to capture Princess Tianxin through Yama's judgment.

Sasuke and Suigetsu rushed to Pain's side, and they began a fierce exchange of ninjutsu.

Sasuke pulled open his sleeve, revealing the runes on his arm guard, and summoned countless shuriken, which he then hurled at the Heavenly Path!
"Shinra Tenzheng!"

All the shuriken were deflected, and Sasuke, having found a five-second opening, shouted to Suigetsu beside him, "Attack!"

Shuiyue simultaneously made a gun gesture with both hands and shouted, "Water Iron Cannon - Double Dagger!"

This is an enhanced version of Water Release: Water Gun. In the original story, Suigetsu used this move to shatter Tobi's mask.

"boom!!"

Pain dodged the attack, but immediately afterward, a large purple hand grabbed him and tried to crush him into pieces!
"Dong dong!"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes and met Pain's gaze. In that instant, he felt the pressure emanating from the Rinnegan.

next moment,
"Hooho-"

A hellhound opened its ferocious maw and pounced while Sasuke was momentarily stunned!
"puff!!"

But then a large white snake bit the hunting dog's neck and said to Sasuke, "Don't get distracted!"

Sasuke nodded, but Pain's cooldown had already finished.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

"boom!!"

Sasuke's Susanoo was forcefully repelled, sending him and Suigetsu flying backwards!

But soon, Sasuke somersaulted to his feet, conjured the Thousand Birds Spear, and fiercely thrust it towards Pain!

"puff!!"

This time, Pain couldn't dodge and was pierced through the left shoulder by Sasuke's Chidori Spear.

"It's over. Now tell me where your true form is, and I might spare your life," Sasuke said coldly, looking at Pain.

"boom!!"

The summoned beasts from the Animal Path were still struggling violently, but they were gradually being overwhelmed by the Three Goddesses.

"puff!"

Hell Path accidentally got bitten on the neck by Tsuratsuhime, and his body was instantly poisoned. Tendou's expression also darkened.

This means that he has lost the ability to revive his teammates.

“Speak,” Sasuke said, conjuring Chidori in his hand once more, “the location of the main body.”

Silence reigned all around.

Pain glanced at Sasuke, then looked at the other Pains who were fighting the Sage.

"No, you don't understand at all..."

He suddenly murmured softly, causing Sasuke to frown slightly.

The Heavenly Dao: "Born in Konoha during a time of peace, you cannot understand pain, nor can you comprehend my will."

His eyes deepened, and he shook his head at Sasuke: "It's too early to decide the winner now, because..."

"My pain is greater than yours!!"

This impassioned speech resonated powerfully in the surrounding area!

Silence reigned all around.

Shuiyue, who was listening in a daze, couldn't help but ask, "What are you babbling about?"

He felt completely out of touch with the enemy's thought process.

Sasuke, expressionless: "I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, hurry up..."

But the next moment, his pupils contracted as he sensed that Pain's body around him had gone limp, and all of his chakra was instantly concentrated on Pain!

With a mere wave of his hand, the Heavenly Dao instantly shattered the environment around him with the Divine Luo Heavenly Conquest, and suddenly, a fierce wind arose!

"Sasuke, watch out!" Suigetsu quickly spread her body to shield Sasuke from the flying debris and strong winds.

Suddenly, Pain clapped his hands together!
"Snapped!!"

The crisp sound sent a chill down Sasuke's spine, and the next moment, the three goddesses beside him gathered around him. Goddess Tanshin looked at the sun-drenched Tendo before her, her brows furrowing slightly: "Such powerful chakra!"

Looking at the Heavenly Dao, he slowly opened his hands, and a pitch-black ball suddenly appeared in his palms.

This chilling energy emanates from within the black sphere.

Then, the Heavenly Dao raised its hand, and the black ball flew straight into the sky.

Like a singularity, it appears from a distance to be directly covering the direction of the sun.

"This is...?" Sasuke couldn't help but raise his eyes, and then heard Pain shout:
"Earth Explosion Sky Star!!"

Suddenly, everything around us began to shake violently!

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

Sasuke felt as if his body had lost gravity, or rather, the black sphere above him began to exert a tremendous suction force.

Immediately afterwards, countless giant rocks shattered and began to fly upwards, gradually piling up into an ever-growing rock sphere centered on the black sphere.

"Planetary Devastation... The Sage of Six Paths used this technique to create the moon!" Tashin-hime, standing beside Sasuke, was horrified, her composure completely gone.

"Sasuke, attack Pain with all your might!"

She screamed at Sasuke, but Sasuke reacted faster and immediately thrust the Chidori Spear at Pain!

"Ha!!" The Deva Path used the Universal Pull to change the boulder, placing it in front of him to block Sasuke's Chidori.

Shuiyue formed hand seals: "Water Release: Water Clouds!"

He instantly launched a large number of water bullets forward, but they were all dodged by Tendo. The next moment, he released Shinra Tensei, deflecting all the incoming ninjutsu.

"Hiss-"

Countless white snakes were summoned by the Three Goddesses to besiege the Heavenly Dao, but he turned a deaf ear to it and even opened his mouth to shout, and the style of the scene gradually began to become ferocious.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

"boom!!!"

Sasuke and Suigetsu inevitably began to be carried up by the giant rock. They initially rushed downhill, but then discovered that the rock was moving upwards faster than they were.

"Attack the center of the ball!"

Sasuke instantly activated Susanoo, gradually covering his body with skulls, and then unleashed a powerful punch from Susanoo into the center of the ball!
"boom!!!"

Unfortunately, too much rock had accumulated at the center of the ball, and the density between the rocks had become extremely high. Even Susanoo's full-force attack might not be able to crack the giant rock.

"Sasuke, it seems this is all we can do to help you!"

Princess Ichikishima spoke to Sasuke in a crisp, childlike voice. They then turned into white smoke, seemingly returning to Ryuchi Cave, no longer caring about Sasuke's life or death.

The Three Goddesses' philosophy differs from that of the toads of Mount Myōboku; they emphasize the survival of the fittest.

Therefore, if you, Sasuke, can't cover it up, it's not their responsibility.

"Sasuke, what do we do now?!"

Shuiyue used her water cannon to clear away the giant rocks below as she ran down with him, but her mood grew increasingly desperate.

This time, he and Sasuke really broadened their horizons, and they deeply realized that in addition to Orochimaru, there were terrifying beings like Sage Mode and the Rinnegan.

Looking up at the massive rock that seemed as big as a planet, he felt he was about to lose his composure.

Sasuke remained silent, grabbed him with the large hand of Susanoo, and then pulled him closer, keeping him by his side.

Then, the Susanoo skull gradually shrank, but perfectly covered Sasuke and Suigetsu's bodies.

He looked down at the Heavenly Dao, its veins bulging, and said, "With such a massively energy-consuming technique, he can't last long."

"We just need to wait until he's almost exhausted, then we'll launch a full-scale attack!"

"What do we do now?" Shuiyue couldn't help but ask.

"Wait."

At this point, they were pressed against the surface of the rock sphere, with more and more rock fragments constantly covering them.

However, these rocks could not penetrate Susanoo, so the two had a small, independent space, but Sasuke could feel the increasingly intense pressure coming from all around.

Since they couldn't dodge the Earth Explosion Star, they decided to test their endurance.

……

the other side.

A large tree in a dense forest, some distance from the Earth-Exploding Star.

From a distance, this tree looks no different from any other tree, but upon closer inspection, you'll discover that it's actually made up of countless sheets of paper.

However, these papers were dyed green and brown, thus creating a convincing fake.

Pain's true form, Nagato, and Konan's true form are hidden within it.

The tree now had a gap, allowing the two of them to see what was happening outside.

Inside, Konan looked at Nagato, who was bleeding from his nose and extremely weak, and said with heartache:

"Nagato, this time the Planetary Devastation is way too big..."

She took out a tissue and wiped Nagato's face, her expression full of worry.

Nagato shook his head slightly: "This enemy is very powerful, so we can only use such a powerful technique to deal with him."

An enemy who has mastered both Sage Mode and the Mangekyou Sharingan, and who is not stupid and can quickly analyze his own abilities.

And he's also a fan of Naruto Uzumaki.

Such people must be nipped in the bud, even if it shortens their lifespan.

Suddenly, the two heard a sound coming from ahead!
Konan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately stood in front of Nagato, ready to strike.

If a powerful ninjutsu were to strike Nagato at this moment, he might die on the spot!
Nagato was already too weak, to the point of barely breathing.

"Don't rush to do it yet."

Just then, a young man's shout came from outside the paper tree.

He parted a corner of the paper tree and walked up to the two of them.

It was none other than Naruto Uzumaki in Sage Mode!
Naruto didn't act immediately, but couldn't help looking at the location of Chibaku Tensei in the distance.

His powerful senses in Sage Mode made him realize that a familiar aura seemed to be fighting Pain.

Was it Jiraiya? He thought to himself, but quickly dismissed his own speculation.

“Jiraiya couldn’t possibly be that strong… I haven’t told him about Pain yet, so he couldn’t have forced him to use this move.”

Naruto murmured softly, looking at Nagato and Konan: "Although this question is a bit inappropriate, I still want to ask."

"Who was that who just fought Payne?"

Nagato and Konan remained silent. The latter looked at Naruto and said coldly:
"If you're going to take action, then take action. We'll see it through to the end."

"I'll play along to the end?" Naruto laughed, shaking his head. "Why don't you look in the mirror now? What makes you think you can fight me?"

After saying that, Naruto paused, then took a deep breath: "Fine, don't tell me then..."

"Stop, Nagato."
