Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 289 Another God?
At this very moment, on the aerial fortress named "Anker Bandian".

Countless Void Ninjas were holding their breath and staring intently at the enormous rocky celestial body that seemed to float in the air like a miracle in the distance.

"This, this is simply..."

A young ninja murmured unconsciously, his voice trembling slightly from shock, barely able to find the right words to describe the scene before him.

"Can this kind of power really still be called ninjutsu?" That was all he could say.

Gudong!

A companion beside him swallowed hard, his eyes glazed over, and murmured as if in a dream, "This is something only a god could do."

"Even Shennong, who now possesses the power of the 'Zero Tail,' would probably..."

Before he could finish speaking, a middle-aged, experienced ninja next to him suddenly changed his expression and abruptly covered his mouth with his hand.

"Shut up! Do you want to die?!" the middle-aged ninja shouted in a low voice, his panicked gaze glancing at the ninja captain standing not far away.

However, the captain of the Sky Ninja, who was usually known for his coldness and severity, did not reprimand his subordinate for his slip of the tongue at this moment.

He also stared silently into the distance, his hands clenched into fists behind his back, his face extremely solemn, and a barely perceptible bead of cold sweat even seeped from his forehead.

Clearly, even these arrogant Sky Ninjas, who firmly believe that technology and the power of the Zero Tail are enough to overthrow the Five Great Nations, have to admit it.

The catastrophic power before our eyes has far exceeded the reach of "human power," reaching a level that inspires despair and awe.

"Konoha, is this the end?" the Sky Ninja Captain sighed.

Meanwhile, in the main control room at the core of the fortress, a huge stone seat was placed in the center.

The one sitting on the stone throne at this moment is not Shennong, the original master of the fortress, but Nagato, who is controlling the Six Paths of Pain.

He sat on the stone seat with his eyes closed, his body tightly enveloped by a layer of withered, grayish vortex of white energy that seemed to have been drained of most of its life force.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Nagato's back was deeply hunched, his chest heaving violently, each breath heavy and difficult, with a distinctly hoarse sound, like a broken bellows.

Although the existence of White Zetsu "Tobi" means that using "Chibaku Tensei" no longer requires him to consume his own life force, the excessive chakra he has overdrawn is still a heavy burden.

Xiao Nan stood quietly in front of the huge observation window, looking at the massive Earthburst Star in the distance, her brows slightly furrowed, her face filled with deep worry.

"Nagato." She turned around, her cool voice tinged with barely concealed fear, "Was it really necessary to go this far?"

She knew very well that even Nagato at his current level would need to pour all his power and mind into Pain in order to use a Planetary Devastation of such a scale.

The other Pain members sent to assist other Akatsuki groups in capturing the Tailed Beasts have most likely lost control, and it's unknown what negative consequences they might cause.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Nagato coughed weakly, his voice hoarse like a broken bellows: "That guy, Hyuga Kumokawa, there's something wrong with his eyes..."

He paused for a moment, his deep Rinnegan slowly opening, still tinged with a lingering tremor.

"The Rinnegan has issued a warning, something that has never happened before. We cannot be careless," he continued.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Konan's expression immediately changed, a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashing in her eyes: "Could Hyuga Kumokawa's eyes actually make the Rinnegan feel threatened?"

This was completely beyond her comprehension.

The Rinnegan, as the "eye of God" that controls life and death, has always been the Akatsuki organization's greatest asset.

but now……

Xiao Nan frowned, pondered for a moment, and then decisively said, "To be on the safe side, let Shennong drive the fortress to deliver the finishing blow and completely eliminate that threat!"

Nagato did not object and nodded weakly.

At this moment, he really didn't want to see any more changes.

Xiao Nan immediately transmitted the command through the black stick.

Shennong was in the energy room beneath their feet, originally used to house the "Zero Tail." Soon, the entire fortress began to tremble!
hum!
A violent surge of chakra began to gather deep within the fortress.

The patterns on the wall that were only slightly glowing suddenly became extremely bright, and chakra was output towards the huge main cannon at the bottom of the fortress!
As they sensed the chakra fluctuations forming beneath their feet, Nagato and Konan both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Once this final blow lands, Hyuga Kumokawa, the biggest variable, will be completely eliminated.

At that time, capturing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will be as easy as taking candy from a baby…

However, the moment this thought arose...

As if sensing something, Nagato suddenly opened his eyes, and a look of disbelief and horror flashed in his tired Rinne eyes!

He turned his head sharply to look at the scene outside the observation window.

"What..." Xiao Nan was startled by his sudden reaction and subconsciously followed his gaze to look outside.

Then, they saw it.

Not just two people.

At this moment, in every observation window, every corridor, and every deck of this massive aerial fortress, all the air ninjas stood frozen in place.

Without exception, the golden light was reflected deep within their wide pupils.

A dazzling, incredibly sharp golden light seemed to transform into a golden lightsaber that reached into the sky!

It easily pierced through the thick rock layers from the inside out!
It shot upwards with unstoppable force into the clouds high in the sky!
The next moment, golden light slashed down...

laugh! !

There was no deafening explosion, only a sharp tearing sound as if space itself was being smoothly sliced ​​apart!

With an almost unstoppable force, it cleaved the despair-inducingly massive structure of the planet Earth Explosion in two, slowly carving out a huge, smooth, mirror-like facet!

Even the thick, dark clouds and dust that shrouded Konoha were cleaved in two by this sword, revealing the long-lost sky behind them.

The rising sun cast its warm rays through the massive gap, illuminating the ruins below and the deck of the distant aerial fortress.

However, the Sky Ninjas, who were bathed in this warm sun, did not feel any warmth at all.

On the contrary, a chill seemed to penetrate the distance of space, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and the most primal fear seized their hearts!
"what is that?"

"Another god?"

Confused and fearful murmurs echoed within the fortress; all discipline was replaced by the most primal fear at this moment.

But soon, they saw the golden light that had cleaved through the planet Earthshattering Star, its momentum not stopping, and it slashed straight down towards the fortress where they were!

"Turn around immediately!"

The captain of the Sky Ninja was furious, and his terrified roar echoed throughout the fortress, his voice distorted and twisted with fear.

"No! It's too late, quickly find cover..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the golden light had already filled their entire field of vision, as if the sky were collapsing and crushing down!

呲!
With a calmness that bordered on despair, the golden light touched the armor of the aerial fortress, producing only a soft cutting sound.

There was no loud explosion, nor any clash of energy.

It's like cutting into butter with a red-hot knife, so easy that it just glides across.

The aerial fortress was smoothly sliced ​​in half from the middle, and arcs of electricity and flames shot out from the severed pipes...

Boom! !
The belated explosion rang out with a deafening roar.

Countless metal fragments and human remains were scattered in all directions by the blast.
