Kusuo's indifferent temperament and his calm-as-water eyes also fell into the eyes of Konan and the Deva Path. This kind of gaze... deeply stung them.
"Konan, seal this area. Notify the nearby villagers to evacuate," the Deva Path made from Yahiko's body said.
Konan's expression changed, her beautiful face turning pale with terror. "You can't! Nagato, calm down! They are only two people! We have plenty of time and opportunity to repel them! You don't need to do this!"
At this moment, Konan's tone was filled with urgency and panic. Her cold and lofty expression was gone, completely replaced by that of a flustered little girl. Nagato's words... how could she not understand them? He clearly wanted to bet everything on a single throw, to use that move.
Their performance also fell into the eyes of Kusuo and Jiraiya. Jiraiya was completely baffled. He didn't know what was happening. In his view, Kusuo was so amazing and had brought him so many surprises. Logically speaking, the enemy should have chosen to retreat; that would have been the correct choice. But from their current performance, it seemed the other side still had a trick up their sleeve.
Realizing this, and thinking that the Rinnegan was the eye of the Sage of Six Paths... heaven knows just how many bizarre abilities and techniques it had. Jiraiya secretly became vigilant and was ready to form hand seals to enter Sage Mode at any time.
He didn't speak up to remind Kusuo. For no other reason than that every time he had made a fuss before, his reminders had been easily resolved by Kusuo. This face... was stinging from being slapped. What a little monster! Jiraiya lamented. If his face was slapped any more like this, he would completely lose all of his old face. It was better to just honestly remain silent.
"Oh? Are you preparing to use that move?" Kusuo's eyes narrowed, his expression also becoming solemn. For Konan to be so anxious and arguing with the Deva Path below, it must be something major. And Konan, who had made Nagato's and Yahiko's will her own, was undoubtedly most worried about Nagato's body.
In that case, the answer was obvious. Nagato planned to concentrate all his chakra into the body of the Deva Path and use that terrifying ninjutsu from the original story that had once destroyed the entire village of Konoha.
Super... Shinra Tensei. A move even more powerful than the regular Almighty Push. Under one strike, let alone a human body, it was another matter entirely whether the very building beneath their feet could even continue to exist.
Kusuo was confident in his own strength and was not afraid of Nagato. But Jiraiya...
"Jiraiya-sensei, the situation is urgent! Please retreat a thousand meters away immediately! Don't ask why, just hurry!" Kusuo immediately turned his head and reminded Jiraiya.
Jiraiya, who had been completely baffled just a moment ago, could naturally sense what was about to happen. But Kusuo's words... were so serious, so urgent. Could it be?
In any case, this brat Kusuo had never spoken without a purpose. It was always right to listen to him.
"Summoning Jutsu!" Jiraiya didn't hesitate. He bit his finger and summoned a small tadpole. "Kusuo, take this toad with you quickly. I have a special summoning contract bond with him. He can help you with advice!"
With that, the small, toad-like tadpole in Jiraiya's mouth immediately hopped into Kusuo's arms.
Good heavens. Black lines appeared on Kusuo's forehead. Couldn't you just say you were sending out a surveillance camera to watch the upcoming battle? Why use such responsible-sounding words? Last time, Tsunade was the same. At least her little slug could help him heal, whether he needed it or not was another matter. But this tadpole... what the hell?
He didn't bother with Jiraiya's little thoughts. In fact, the latter's true intention was to transmit his own combat experience to him at a critical moment. After all, Jiraiya had no idea that Kusuo already knew everything about Pain. In his view, only he himself was the one who understood Pain the best.
Everything was completed in an instant. Jiraiya had already quickly fled the area. As he leaped nimbly, a terrifying fact suddenly occurred to him in his heart. What is about to happen? That brat Kusuo actually told me to flee a thousand meters away?
On the other side, just like Jiraiya, Konan was also waving a large number of white paper sheets, wrapping up the other five Pain corpses that had collapsed on the ground. The Deva Path Pain coldly watched Jiraiya's escape and did not make a move to stop him. One reason was to give Konan time to leave with the other Pains. The second was that through the previous battle, he had already focused all his attention on Kusuo.
He... was a threat far greater than his own teacher.
"Hah!" Finally, both Jiraiya and Konan had left the battlefield. In this shattered city of steel, only Kusuo and the Deva Path Pain remained.
Hoo~
Yahiko's body slowly rose into the air, with an indifference that disregarded everything, and a sense of breaking through illusions. A voice, as deep as a valley, came from his mouth.
"I don't know what you've seen, or if you've sensed my next move. I have to admire your swordsmanship. Among all the people I know, no one can surpass you. I, Pain, am willing to call you the strongest."
"But this next move... you will not be able to take it no matter what. To be able to witness the power of this move with your own eyes, you will die with no regrets."
Hearing this, Kusuo's eye twitched again. He thought to himself, Has my transmigration already caused such an exaggerated change? For Nagato to be speaking Madara's lines with such a chuunibyou flair... is that alright?
"Hurry up," he said. Then, Kusuo also raised his head without changing his expression, looking directly at the Deva Path ascending into the sky. Although because it was a corpse, he couldn't sense its strength from its breathing, the warning from his soul still told him the strength of this Deva Path body at this moment.
Yahiko's expression instantly turned grim, as ugly as water. This brat... actually told me to hurry up? This kind of impatient tone... on what grounds? He, a mere boy in his early teens, on what grounds did he dare to be so contemptuous?
At this moment, Nagato, who had always been indifferent, who had regarded the world as ants, was finally angry. Gritting his teeth, he controlled Yahiko's Deva Path body word by word.
He shouted, "Almighty... Push!!"
BOOM!
The firmament lost its color. The atmosphere collapsed. A heart-pounding fluctuation, in a form visible to the naked eye, thoroughly rippled out.
CRASHHH!!
The heaven-defying wave of the Super Almighty Push swept through everything.
BANG! BANG! BANG!—
It overturned the fragments of the city of steel. One layer after another of shockwaves kicked up a monstrous wave, brazenly bombarding Kusuo and the surrounding space.
The sky at this moment was filled with rolling dark clouds. The flying airwave kicked up a fierce gale, raising a giant wave hundreds of feet high. A giant wave of air.
The heavens and the earth suddenly changed color. The land was left without a single intact piece of ground. All that was exposed was the earth and grass roots. A giant cloud of smoke rose into the sky, blotting out the sun. At this moment, the entire world was plunged into a tremor.
"Nagato!" Konan, who had already flown far away, felt her heart tremble. She looked back with lingering fear at the commotion behind her. Her eyes were filled with incomparable horror. She looked at that jaw-dropping scene. That shockwave, a hundred meters, a thousand meters wide, that flattened everything, was still continuously rushing outwards, carrying the unstoppable momentum of an army of thousands, surging and majestic.
"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?"
In the Hidden Rain Village, the villagers all ran out of their houses, their bodies swaying. The violent earthquake had directly caused some already dangerous houses to collapse. The earth began to sink, revealing spiderweb-like cracks. Everyone looked in horror towards the direction the commotion came from. There... was the high tower where God lived.
So... this world-shaking tremor... was it caused by God?
