However... it was directly hit by Shinra Tensei.
The white figure showed no signs of pain, not even a slight disturbance in its chakra fluctuations!
He stood there silently, blocked by the repulsive force, his face expressionless.
It's as if... I feel no pain at all!
This is absolutely not the reaction a normal living being should have!
Alarm bells rang in Nagato's mind. Although he was puzzled, the battle did not allow him to think too much.
The effects of Shinra Tensei are about to end; he must seize the opportunity!
The moment the repulsive force disappeared, Nagato immediately raised his hand!
"Universal Pull! Sealing Technique Absorption!"
He planned to use the Myriad Manifestations of Heaven to forcibly pull the other party in front of him.
At the same time, he activated the power of the Preta Path, completely draining its chakra the moment they made contact!
This is his usual combo, which is extremely effective against powerful individual ninjas.
However, just as he raised his hand to activate his ability—
"Shinra Tenzheng!"
A terrifying repulsive force of the same nature, but even more violent and concentrated, suddenly crashed down from directly above his head without warning!
It was as if the entire sky had collapsed!
"What?!!"
Caught off guard, Nagato's entire attention was focused on the frozen figure directly in front of him, and he had no idea that the attack would come from above!
"puff--!!!"
Like being struck by an invisible giant hammer, Nagato was slammed into the ground by the Shinra Tensei that came down from above!
He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, as if his internal organs had shifted instantly.
His bones groaned under the unbearable weight, and he was firmly embedded in a human-shaped pit, instantly losing all ability to resist!
Only then did he manage to turn his eyes with difficulty, using the peripheral vision of his Rinnegan to look at the sky.
Then, another identical Uchiha Madara slowly descended from the sky, his eyes still cold and indifferent.
The figure that had been frozen in place by Shinra Tensei slowly dissipated like a phantom.
That's not a clone!
Nagato instantly realized that it was a special clone that possessed a physical form and could even withstand the attack of Shinra Tensei!
Unfortunately, he realized it too late.
Madara only used a special clone as bait, while his main body launched a surprise attack from a higher position, easily dismantling all of Madara's defenses and counterattacks.
Madara slowly descended in front of Nagato, looking at Nagato who was barely alive in the crater, struggling but unable to get up, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Is that all...?"
Madara's voice carried a hint of boredom: "It seems you've only mastered the basic abilities of the Rinnegan."
He had initially held a sliver of hope for this "representative" he had chosen, wanting to see just how far he could utilize the Rinnegan.
But the result greatly disappointed him.
The same Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in are merely tools in the hands of the opponent.
They were completely defeated before they could even put up a decent resistance, such as using techniques like Earth Explosion Star.
The difference in strength is on a dimensional level.
"bring it on……"
Madara crouched down, reached out, and slowly extended his hand toward Nagato's last remaining Rinnegan, which shimmered with purple ripples: "It's time... to return it to its rightful owner."
"Ugh!!!"
Nagato let out a desperate and unwilling roar. He used his last strength to try to turn his head away, but the invisible force held him firmly in place.
With a soft sound and Nagato's shrill scream, Madara's fingers mercilessly pierced into his eye socket, precisely gouging out the Rinnegan that originally belonged to him!
Blood gushed from Nagato's empty eye sockets instantly.
Ban held the still warm, bloodshot eye.
Without even glancing at the convulsing Nagato, he gently placed him into his already prepared left eye socket.
A wisp of white smoke rose, accompanied by the faint sound of flesh healing.
Thanks to the powerful vitality of the Six Paths Body, the transplantation process was completed instantly.
Ban blinked his eyes, which had just regained their sight. Those complete eyes, containing the power of reincarnation and death, returned once again!
A trickle of blood flowed down the corner of her eye, not from an injury, but a symbol of her eye being reactivated and perfectly connected with her nerves.
He slowly stood up.
Both Rinnegan eyes emitted a cold, indifferent light.
He glanced down at Nagato, who had fainted in the pit from excruciating pain and despair, as if looking at a piece of discarded trash, without any emotional fluctuation.
Then, he looked up at the moon in the sky, which was gradually becoming clearer and brighter.
A cold yet fervent smile curled at the corners of his lips, a smile that suggested he had finally achieved his goal.
"All right……"
Ban's voice, like a final judgment, echoed through the empty valley: "Now, all the obstacles have been cleared away, and the final piece of the puzzle is in place..."
"Project Eye of the Moon... Begin now!"
Chapter 504 Burn, Youth!
Madara, having regained the Rinnegan, quickly returned to the Five Kage battlefield.
After all, the Eye of the Moon Project is to project the Rinnegan with tomoe born from the Divine Tree onto the moon.
This unleashes the Infinite Tsukuyomi, a phenomenon that covers the entire globe and is inescapable.
Then, in conjunction with the release of the Divine Tree Realm, everyone can live in an eternal dream—an eternal, beautiful, and peaceful dream.
Therefore, Madara returned to the battlefield where the Divine Tree had already been activated.
However, the Allied Shinobi Forces had already assembled here, and everyone was now facing Madara.
However, facing the six-path Madara, whose eyes were filled with undisguised fear and exhaustion, his hand holding the kunai was even trembling slightly.
How could you not be afraid?
The enemy before them had surpassed their understanding of "powerful".
The Five Kage, the strongest fighting force of the ninja villages, have fallen;
The perfect Jinchūriki, a monster possessing the power of a Tailed Beast, was defeated;
Even the Uchiha clan's geniuses, Shisui and Itachi, who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, were powerless to reverse the tide.
Their entire Allied Shinobi Forces' elite forces were as fragile as paper in front of their opponent.
The thought of retreating is like a venomous snake, gnawing at everyone's heart.
What is the point of fighting when facing an enemy that is fundamentally invincible?
However, they cannot back down.
Behind them, the lights of thousands of homes shine!
Once they fall here, all those lights will be swallowed up and extinguished by the eternal dream.
They have no way out.
However, the floating spot did not even linger on the assembled allied forces for a single second.
In his eyes, there was only that divine tree that connected heaven and earth.
These surviving ants are nothing more than insignificant background noise before the final ritual is completed.
In this suffocating atmosphere of despair, two resolute roars suddenly exploded like thunderclaps from a clear sky!
"Seventh Gate! Gate of Shock! Open!" ×2
The two roars almost overlapped!
The next moment, two figures shot out from the allied forces camp like cannonballs!
Their bodies were engulfed in a surging, azure-blue flame of boundless chakra!
The terrifying torrent of chakra blew away all the rubble on the ground, and the powerful shockwave even made the Allied Shinobi in the front row lose their footing!
It was Might Guy and his disciple Rock Lee!
The master and disciple had both opened the Eight Gates Formation, a forbidden technique that burns life force, to the seventh gate, the Gate of Shock!
Their skin turned bright red, and their veins bulged out like writhing dragons.
The blue steam surrounding him was like a real flame, radiating a terrifyingly violent energy!
Madara's gaze was finally drawn to it, and a faint hint of surprise flashed in his Rinnegan eyes:
"The Eight Gates Formation? I didn't expect that in this era, there would still be someone who could master this physical technique and even open up to the seventh gate... That's quite interesting."
He was indeed somewhat surprised.
As a pure physical art, the Eight Gates Formation demands extremely high physical fitness and willpower from its practitioners.
Even in his time, those who could open the seventh gate were extremely rare.
Ah Kai and Xiao Li didn't waste any words.
From the severely injured Five Shadows, they obtained the only clue that might be effective against a Sixth Path level enemy.
Immortal arts, and ultimate physical skills!
Facing Madara Uchiha, who possesses the Rinnegan and can nullify the vast majority of ninjutsu.
