I am Jinshan Youxia

"Buzz—Boom!"

The two Rasengans crossed, and the resulting whirlwind sent him flying, instantly piercing through the shark and landing on the shore with his upper body riddled with wounds.

"Whoosh!" Human Path Pain suddenly appeared above half of his body and stretched out his hand.

Izanagi refreshed again, and Zhang Chengyi's body was pushed back to mid-air above the sea.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" A series of rockets approached.

This is a truly merciless series of blows!

Relying on the fact that his Izanagi hadn't expired, Zhang Chengyi didn't even try to dodge. Despite the rocket attack, he cleanly and decisively severed Pain's head with Kamui.

Even if Pain could be repaired, he didn't want to see the Human Path anytime soon.

Of the six Paths puppets created by Nagato, the Human Path was the most troublesome for him. Whether it was searching his memories or absorbing his soul, he was not sure if Izanagi could withstand it.

Mechanics may not be as effective as numerical values, but being tricked by them can still be a real headache.

Izanagi refreshes.

Zhang Chengyi retreated to the side of the headless Human Path Pain, and Kamui was activated again. The poor Human Path Pain was immediately torn into pieces by several twisted vortexes and sent to the Kamui dimension.

"Whoosh!" Countless flames descended from the sky, burning him into a dried-up corpse once again.

After Izanagi's refresh, he reappeared in mid-air, his divine power distorted, and the giant bird in the sky was severed.

Deidara leaped down, and before he even landed, Zhang Chengyi, unaffected by any attack, proactively closed the distance, leaping forward across the water and unleashing a Rasengan—

"boom!"

Chapter 460 Two Battlefields

Another self-destructing clone. These ninjas are too cowardly.

Zhang Chengyi was thrown into the air during the explosion. He opened his mouth and spat out an eye. Just as he was about to replace the eye, black flames suddenly burst into flames on his arm.

Amaterasu? They've all come?

Sharing Might Guy's vision, he clearly saw the immortal duo and Pain, and considering the abilities that had already appeared, it was highly likely that all of Akatsuki's members, except for the heavily damaged Sasori, had come.

"Hey!"

He laughed heartily, transforming a large amount of chakra into thought waves, which materialized into forms through the three rings on his fingers. He tossed the three rings to his clones to maintain a smooth connection with the Illusionary Body Technique. The next second, four identical clones of himself scattered.

Compared to techniques like Wood Clone or Shadow Clone, the clones created by the Illusionary Body Technique have significant drawbacks. They consume more chakra, and the bodies formed by thought waves are much weaker than the original body. However, they also have their advantages.

It can transfer chakra at any time without needing to distribute it evenly like a shadow clone, and it won't break apart with a single hit. Most importantly, it is completely under the control of the main body. Ordinary people might find it difficult to use it for multiple purposes, but with enough computing power, it doesn't matter at all.

Too much chakra consumption is equivalent to having none. Even if the body is weaker than the original body, it doesn't matter if you use Rasengan.

"Found you—"

"Kisame Hoshigaki!"

Zhang Chengyi stared at the Mangekyou Sharingan, which could observe the flow of chakra, and the first thing he noticed was the strange man in a half-mermaid state who was floating in the sea.

Without any hesitation, he unleashed another massive Rasengan, and the turbulent sea was once again swept apart by the gale and explosion. Kisame Hoshigaki, exposed to the air, was instantly torn to shreds and turned into water.

Then a hand pressed down on Zhang Chengyi's body, and the water spread, forming a cage.

His body, composed of thought waves and chakra, twisted and vanished into nothingness. When he reappeared, he was already outside the water prison. He instantly unleashed a Rasengan, shattering the water prison and retrieving the ring.

Kisame Hoshigaki jumped away and quickly fell into the water. Immediately afterwards, four water sharks rose into the air and transformed into a dense barrage of water bullets that fell down.

Zhang Chengyi's clone was riddled with holes by the water bullets, but it didn't matter. The thought wave was very agile. With enough computing power and chakra, the speed of reconstruction was not much slower than Izanagi. It reconstructed its body around the ring four or five times. The whole person was flashing wildly as if there was a bad signal. Finally, it bravely rushed through the rain of water bullets.

[A troublesome guy...]

Kisame Hoshigaki was starting to feel a little unwell.

He couldn't withstand the space-time ninjutsu in direct combat, nor could he withstand Samehada. Furthermore, Zhang Chengyi, who had demonstrated strong taijutsu skills, made it impossible for him to get close and entangle with him. If he was suppressed even briefly, the space-time ninjutsu would definitely kill him.

He had never imagined that the Illusionary Body Technique could be so disgusting. The flaw that usually caused him to consume a lot of chakra and be unable to control two bodies was completely absent in Zhang Chengyi's hands.

An uncontrollable, indestructible freak whose attack power could kill him instantly seems to only be able to stall for time and deplete the opponent's chakra through ninjutsu.

Even though he's called a human-shaped tailed beast, the continuous use of high-level ninjutsu and the inability to deplete his chakra through Samehada in a short period of time still caused him to deplete it too quickly. If he continues to drag it out, he can hold out for an hour or two. Even the elderly Third Hokage could fight Orochimaru, the traitor, for several hours, so he naturally has no problem.

But is a war of attrition really effective?

Kisame Hoshigaki remembered that Zhang Chengyi had harassed them for several hours using the Illusionary Body Technique. According to the information they shared afterward, it wasn't just him and Itachi who were harassed, but everyone at the same time. That amount of chakra...

Madara, will you make a move?

-----------------

"Shh!"

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Hidan frantically swung his scythe, experiencing for the first time how painful it was to be completely outmatched in terms of physical skills, speed, and reaction time.

No matter how formidable the enemies he faced before, they could always find a way to break through his defenses and take blood. But Might Guy's speed and physical skills were exceptionally amazing, and he couldn't touch him at all. Every attack was in vain.

If it weren't for the leader's incredibly powerful ninjutsu that pushed people away, coupled with the support of Konan and Kakuzu, even if he hadn't died, he would have been dismembered long ago and completely incapacitated.

"Whoosh!" A row of paper spears forced back Might Guy, who was trying to get close to Pain.

Tentacles made of black lines tore through the ground and reached out to grab the enemy.

"Roar!" The tiger-shaped high-pressure air blast burst forth again, instantly smoothing out the already pitted ground, and crushing towards the enemy with unstoppable force.

[Lightning Release: False Darkness!]

[Fire Release: Head Carving!]

Kakuzu's body turned pitch black, and the two remaining masked monsters opened their mouths and spewed out ninjutsu.

Konan erected an arc-shaped protective shield made of paper, trying to take Pain away. Both the giant panda-shaped stone statue, now only fragments, and the Preta Path, which was torn apart while trying to absorb the first Daytime Tiger, proved that ordinary methods were simply no match for this attack.

Pain, the Deva Path, showed no intention of dodging. Instead, the eyes of the Hell Path, Animal Path, and the newly resurrected Asura Path standing behind him all lost their liveliness, as if they had turned back into corpses.

He spread his arms, releasing a massive amount of chakra through his Rinnegan, unleashing an unprecedented force of repulsion.

[Super Shinra Tensei!]

"Pain!" Konan called out anxiously.

"Whoosh! Boom!"

The roaring Day Tiger and the invisible Super Shinra Tensei collided head-on, squeezing and stalemate each other for less than a second before the Day Tiger, which was essentially a high-pressure gas bomb, exploded, creating a ring-shaped ripple that followed an oval-shaped blue-white explosion.

When the explosion subsided, the ground looked as if a huge spoon had been used to scoop out a piece of it, and seawater poured into the crater from the ocean.

Hidan, who was hit head-on, has disappeared without a trace. Kakuzu escaped quickly, but only half of his broken body was left, being carried away by the Earth Grudge. Of the five hearts, only the Earth Release technique used inside his body remained intact. If it weren't for the Earth Spear and the protection of the Earth Grudge, he would have died long ago. Now, he has lost the desire to continue fighting and only wants to escape.

The collision of Super Shinra Tensei was not enough to completely withstand the explosion after Daytime Tiger was torn apart. Nagato's micro-management was also far from being able to accurately deflect all the aftershocks of the explosion. When Super Shinra Tensei ended, the first one to suffer was Pain, whose head floated quietly on the churning seawater.

In order to unleash the Super Shinra Tensei, the other surviving Pain members were utterly destroyed without any chance of resistance.

With a "splash," Konan, who had reassembled herself from the pieces of paper, picked up Pain's head, held it to her chest, and looked at Might Guy, who was panting on the water not far away.

"Let's go, Xiao Nan."

Pain spoke up, "The plan has failed."

Chapter 461 Falling short of success

You can't escape—

Before Zhang Chengyi could finish speaking, he noticed an anomaly in his chakra after seeing Itachi Uchiha's eyes transform into kaleidoscope shapes.

He thought he was about to be pulled into Tsukuyomi's mental space, but nothing happened.

Instead, blood flowed from Itachi's eyes, and he fell asleep without uttering a sound.

"what?"

Zhang Chengyi initially thought he was in an illusion, but after glancing at the panel and seeing no reaction at all, he concluded that he was not in an illusion.

"Huh?" He exclaimed in surprise again. Relying on the fact that he was an illusion and would not be harmed in any way, and that it was impossible for Izanami to be released, he stepped forward and touched the unconscious Uchiha Itachi. It turned out to be the real Uchiha Itachi.

"Trying to stage an accident, huh?"

He was speechless.

I originally wanted to use my phantom body to experience Tsukuyomi or Izanami, to trick as many people as I could, and get used to it in advance so that I could find a way to counter them if I really encountered them.

It turned out that it wasn't him who collapsed in a second, but Uchiha Itachi. That feels a bit abstract.

Zhang Chengyi took a moment to look through the information records on the panel and realized the truth.

First, his body was invaded by Itachi Uchiha's special chakra.

Illusion techniques disrupt the enemy's chakra while often sending one's own chakra into the enemy's body.

The first problem arises here: what kind of energy enters his body? Regardless of whether he can control it or use it to strengthen himself, he can definitely manipulate it.

Itachi Uchiha had a strong ability to control chakra and could release genjutsu very quickly, but the genjutsu was slightly deformed because it was forcibly controlled by the modifier.

Then the most interesting record appeared. Other illusions only manipulate the five senses of the body, but advanced illusions involve the mind. Just like how Infinite Tsukuyomi can extract chakra from an ordinary person's body, where would the chakra come from if you don't control the body and mind?

Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami are both advanced illusions that attempt to interfere with the opponent's mind after invading the body.

Zhang Chengyi's spirit is certainly unrelated to his role as a modifier, but there's a very important issue—

His spirit was locked up, with no end in sight. Itachi Uchiha tried to pull his spirit into the genjutsu space of Tsukuyomi, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it out.

Itachi Uchiha was known for his low chakra reserves and fragile body. By exchanging chakra for mental energy, he quickly depleted his chakra reserves to the point of almost running out. If he hadn't had exceptionally strong chakra control, he probably wouldn't have fainted but died on the spot.

"Ah, this..."

Zhang Chengyi suspected that similar techniques would have the same effect on him, but he couldn't help feeling a bit amused and exasperated by Itachi Uchiha's misfortune.

"Why didn't you just use ordinary illusion magic? Maybe you could have stalled for a while. Why did you have to increase the intensity?"

He shook his head, hoisted Uchiha Itachi onto his shoulder, and ran towards the direction of the main body.

Two more Sharingan eyes are coming along! Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu sound amazing, but their effects in the manga are quite poor. Amaterasu, in particular, is criticized for being so weak that you can shake it off just by taking off your clothes.

But most importantly, there must be information about Susanoo in both Mangekyou Sharingan eyes.

In other words, he can pilot a Gundam.
