Saving the Uchiha clan starts with becoming the clan leader.

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

He summoned a colossal wooden golem that stood tall and imposing, instantly smashing through the layers of rock above its head. The golem's head was exposed on the ground, right where Black Zetsu had been hiding. Black Zetsu... had sensed something was wrong because of Pain's disappearance and had also gone underground to check on the situation.

however,

Unfortunately, Obito Uchiha, that traitor, suddenly unleashed his ultimate attack.

Black Zetsu, who was halfway down the cliff, was hit squarely by the wooden figure that had smashed through layers of rock. If it weren't for his unique life form, this blow would have crippled him. His half-body White Zetsu would have been killed instantly, his body turned into a pulp, literally pulp, which was plastered on the wooden figure's head.

"······asshole!"

Although he wasn't killed, the impact forced him back into his liquid state, which he hadn't shown in a long time. It took him two seconds to finally utter a curse.

However, Black Zetsu couldn't bother arguing with Obito Uchiha. He forced Obito to use the Wood Release: Wood Human Technique, indicating that something had indeed happened underground. But what exactly happened? Uchiha Sogen and the Three-Tails were still lying there obediently, not moving at all...

Lying on top of the wooden figure's head,

Black Zetsu realized something was wrong.

Uchiha Munen, standing atop the Three-Tails' head, moved in the exact same way he had when he went underground, almost like a puppet.

"Could it be that you're saying..."

Just as a monstrous wave of evil was surging in Black Zetsu's heart,

The wooden figure vanished with a "bang," leaving behind a straight hole leading deep into the earth. The liquefied Black Jue was about to fall in when the old man suddenly stretched out his body, transforming from a pool of liquid into a long rope, one end of which was hanging from a rock at the edge of the hole, narrowly avoiding falling.

although,

You won't die from falling.

However, given the current unclear situation below, and adhering to the principle of avoiding dangerous situations, Black Zetsu had no intention of falling down and getting involved in danger.

next second,

Black Zetsu, now back to liquid form, saw the bright light that suddenly appeared below the void, and a moment later heard a deafening roar. As he expected, a fierce battle was taking place below.

But then another problem arises?

Who is fighting Nagato and Obito?

And forced Obito to use the Wooden Dummy Technique to break the deadlock?

The fleeting wooden dummy attracted attention from many sides. Not only was Black Zetsu at the forefront, but Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Chihaya, Jiraiya, Kabuto Yakushi, and others rushed towards the hollow. Shisui had no coordinates nearby and could not use the Flying Thunder God Technique to get there, so he could only travel with the others.

In secret,

Orochimaru and Sasori also disappeared from their previous hiding place.

[Chapter 392 Nagato's Summoning Technique]

Obito Uchiha broke the 'Suffocating World' with his move, but to be honest, the Wood Golem Technique was a bit too exaggerated. It directly tore open a large hole in the ground of Amegakure. Sogen and Nagato, who were originally fighting fiercely, had to stop fighting because they had to deal with the Wood Golem that suddenly filled almost all the space.

Without stopping,

They will be squeezed into mincemeat by the wooden figures.

Zongxian propped up Susanoo to withstand the pressure from the wooden figure, but it was also forcibly pushed and hammered into the rock wall like a nail, shattering a large piece of rock. However, Zongxian took this opportunity to summon a new chameleon to lurk around.

Summoning beasts are an important fighting force for ninjas.

Among the six paths of power in the Rinnegan is the Animal Path. Although Sogen's main research focus after awakening the Rinnegan was the Outer Path and the Deva Path, his research on the Animal Path did not fall behind. As the Sixth Hokage, he exercised his power, and naturally, people gathered all sorts of animals for him.

It flies in the sky, runs on the ground, burrows underground, and swims in the water.

and,

Don't forget about Hiruko, the expert in biology. The synthetic beasts he created using the [Oni-Garuru Technique] are also quite formidable combat forces. Previously, Sogen's Animal Path clone was a strange monster that Hiruko created.

That's the situation.

After Zongxuan awakened the Rinnegan, he contracted a large number of summoning beasts, of which the chameleon clan was one. These chameleons, whose combat power was approximately zero, but who had excellent stealth abilities, were excellent informants, making full use of the Rinnegan's shared vision feature.

Long before he attacked Pain, the Animal Path, and the Hell Path,

He had already summoned many chameleons to hide in the darkness. It was by sharing the vision of these chameleons that he saw Obito Uchiha's unusual movements and Konan's sneak attack... However, that batch of chameleons had already suffocated and died, so he had to summon a new batch.

Fortunately, he had made a pact with a tribe.

Even if this race is wiped out, a new race can be contracted later, or Hiruko can try to synthesize and create a better summoning beast.

When the wooden figure disappeared,

The paused fighting instantly reignited fiercely.

Before Zongxian could make a move, Konan launched her attack first. Under Nagato's protection, she was not affected by the wooden doll, but instead prepared to attack. Just as the wooden doll disappeared, she waved her sleeve, and white paper fluttered like snowflakes in a whirlwind.

【Shikigami Dance - Fire Paper Rain】

Yes,

The falling paper rain was not ordinary paper.

It was an explosive tag.

After witnessing how easily Sogen handled the encirclement, she realized that ordinary attack methods would hardly be effective against the Sixth Hokage. The Susanoo's defensive strength was so high that it could almost ignore all low-level attack ninjutsu.

Minor tinkering is just a futile waste of one's chakra.

We must do our utmost.

Thousands of explosive tags rained down like a summer downpour.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The continuous explosions echoed through the large cavity.

Clusters of bursting flames resembled blooming red lotuses, illuminating the bottom of the vast cavity as bright as day. The shockwaves from the explosions crushed and ground the chameleons that had been hiding in the corners into a pulp, which was then evenly spread across the walls and floor and dried out, resembling some kind of avant-garde, abstract work of art that was difficult to comprehend.

"Nagato?"

Xiao Nan glanced sideways at her side.

Her Shikigami Dance technique also has a sensory means, but unfortunately it has many limitations. In the current situation, it is completely unusable. She can only rely on Nagato's Kagura Mind's Eye to determine the target's situation. Of course, she doesn't dare to hope that this will be enough to kill Uchiha Munen.

As long as it inflicts some damage on Uchiha Munen, the eight thousand explosive tags fired earlier won't have been a complete waste...

"Back off."

There wasn't time to explain.

Nagato stretched out his hands, palms facing forward. The instant he assumed the stance, the swirling fireworks were suddenly torn and deformed, as if a transparent giant had swung its fist, directly sweeping over the thick smoke and flames.

Fortunately, Nagato's reaction was not slow at all.

Nagato, who was monitoring Muneaki's changes using Kagura's Mind's Eye technique, immediately devised a countermeasure.

A powerful repulsive force erupted from his palm, meeting the terrifying impact head-on.

This wave is—

Shinra Tensei VS Shinra Tensei.

The result of the collision was that Nagato slid backward more than a meter, dragging his personal transportation machine. The deep crimson Susanoo opposite him also swayed backward. However, what was even more tragic was the center of the collision, where the rock layers were torn apart by the twisting force, creating dark and deep cracks.

"it turns out······"

Konan frowned as she looked at Sogen, who was completely unharmed under the protection of Susanoo. Was the destructive power of eight thousand explosive tags not enough?

Just how much explosive force would it take to blast that thing apart?

although,

He also noticed that compared to before when she was merely in the shape of ribs, she was now wearing armor, which clearly meant that her attacks were not entirely ineffective.

But this did not satisfy Xiao Nan.

She didn't expect to kill Uchiha Mugen, but she should at least get some ashes from his cigarette, right?

Unfortunately, this small wish could not be fulfilled.

"The power of the detonating tags is too scattered; they're useless if they're not concentrated on one point." As if seeing through Konan's confusion, Nagato explained. Of course, he wasn't idle while speaking; one of the mechanical arms that extended from behind him fired another laser cannon, and the other mechanical arm fired a continuous stream of rockets.

The pace of the battle was incredibly fast.

Neither side relaxed for even a second.

Because a single second of carelessness is enough for the opponent to make three or five moves. One careless move could result in a huge loss. Nagato himself dared not be reckless. If it were a clone, it would be fine, but he was fighting with his main body now. Carelessness could ruin his future.

Zongxian was equally focused.

This is also his real identity.

Apart from the Deva Path clone maintaining its connection with the Three-Tails and continuously drawing chakra from the three dimensions to replenish its consumption, the other clones ceased their activities and fell into a state of silence. Even the Deva Path clone only maintained a minimal level of mobility.

Ninety percent of his energy was devoted to the battle against Nagato.

After the encounter,

Munen acknowledged that Nagato was very strong.

Although you are not the original owner of the Rinnegan, you have indeed mastered its power to a high degree. Apart from the innate limitations that prevent you from using abilities like Susanoo and the unique eye techniques of different Rinnegan, you can say that you have reached the limit of what you can do.

but--

If it's only this level,

If we don't have any more trump cards, that's about it.

The chameleon was almost completely wiped out by Konan's previous barrage of attacks. However, at this point, Zongxian was too lazy to summon more summoning beasts to help him keep an eye on his back and feet. A few rounds of sparring had been enough, and it was time to get serious.

It's impossible to play all your cards...

But at least,

The Susanoo that hovers between its first and third forms is rather disrespectful.

"Let me show you! Let you witness the supernatural power that the Uchiha clan has inherited for a thousand years." Zongxian put away the Banana Fan, carried the Flame Fan on his back, and the deep crimson Susanoo suddenly grew taller. The Susanoo, which originally only had an upper body, wove together a lower body and legs.

then,

Its size and volume are also constantly increasing.

That size was like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, climbing up rapidly.

"I finally managed to use it!"
