Chapter 851 Breaking Out
Chapter 851 Breaking Out
Countless dark figures rushed out from all directions, their kunai and shuriken raining down like a storm, their target the red-haired boy kneeling beside the corpse, who seemed to have completely collapsed.
This is a certain death trap. Under such a dense attack, even a Jonin would find it difficult to escape death.
"Die!"
A Rain Ninja charged ahead, his long sword slashing fiercely at Nagato's neck.
However, just as the blade was about to touch Nagato...
The red-haired boy, who had been keeping his head down as if he had lost his soul, suddenly raised his head.
What a pair of eyes those are.
The purple ripples spread out in concentric circles, devoid of the former confusion and weakness, replaced by a soul-chilling coldness and deathly stillness, and a kind of divinity that looked down upon all living beings as ants.
Shinra... Tensei!
Nagato didn't form any hand seals; he simply raised his hand casually towards the void.
boom--! ! ! !
An indescribable, terrifying repulsive force erupted instantly from Nagato's center.
That power is not only invisible and intangible, but it also completely disregards the laws of physics.
The kunai and shuriken that flew towards Nagato seemed to hit an invisible iron wall the moment they got within a meter of him, and were all bounced away, or even reflected back at an even faster speed.
"Ah! My hand!"
"What kind of ninjutsu is this?!"
The Rain Ninja who was at the very front was the first to be hit. He was thrown into the air as if he had been hit by a speeding train. His body twisted and deformed in the air, and he died before he even hit the ground.
The surrounding Rain Ninja were stunned by this sudden turn of events. They had never seen such a bizarre ability to repel everything without hand seals or even contact.
"This...what kind of power is this?!"
Hanzo, perched atop the cliff, stared wide-eyed, a look of shock appearing on his face for the first time. As a "demigod," he had witnessed countless ninjutsu techniques, but this power... simply surpassed the common sense of a ninja.
Nagato slowly stood up and gently laid Yahiko's body down.
He raised his head, his purple Rinnegan eyes fixed on Hanzo and Danzo high above.
Raindrops lashed his face, sliding down his cold, defined features. In that moment, the once introverted and shy Nagato died, replaced by a god who bore the last wish of his dearest friend and was determined to make the world suffer…
"You...you will all die."
Nagato's voice wasn't loud, but it resounded clearly in everyone's ears, carrying a suffocating killing intent.
"From this day forward, the world... will experience pain."
Under the gray sky, the rain curtain was torn open by that strange repulsive force, creating a vacuum zone.
"What kind of ninjutsu is that?! It doesn't require hand seals? And there are no elemental fluctuations?"
The Rain Ninja around them trembled as they gripped their weapons. They exchanged bewildered glances, their fear spreading like wildfire. As Hanzo's elite force, they were accustomed to carnage, but they had never witnessed such an irrational power.
However, Nagato did not give them any more time to think.
"Xiao Nan..."
Nagato's gaze pierced through the crowd, locking onto the girl suspended in mid-air, her face streaked with tears. The next second, the ground beneath his feet cracked, and he shot off like a red cannonball, carrying an unstoppable momentum, straight towards the high cliff.
"Hmph, he really is a greenhorn, he took the bait so easily."
High on the cliff, Hanzo watched Nagato rush up recklessly, a cold smile curving his lips. Instead of stopping him, he released his grip on Konan's chakra ropes, leaping backward and disappearing into the shadows.
"Nagato! Watch out! It's a trap!"
Xiao Nan, who had regained her freedom, did not feel joy. Instead, she shouted at the top of her lungs.
But at this moment, Nagato was only focused on saving his comrade. He caught Konan as she fell from the sky, and the two landed steadily on a flat piece of ground.
"Xiao Nan, you didn't..."
Before the word "matter" could even be uttered, a sudden change occurred.
"Fire Release: Exploding Flame Array!"
Hanzo's cold voice came from afar.
Suddenly, the ground beneath Nagato and Konan's feet collapsed, and countless specially made explosive tags with eerie black patterns emerged from the ground like venomous snakes, instantly wrapping around Nagato's legs and even spreading to Konan's feet.
"This is... a trap!" Nagato's pupils contracted.
Rumble——! ! !
The deafening explosion instantly engulfed the entire cliff. The towering flames were particularly blinding in the rain, and the massive shockwave shattered the surrounding rocks. Thick smoke and flames completely swallowed the two figures.
"Hmph, it's over."
Hanzo stood not far away, looking at the still-burning flame, and sneered, "No matter how strong a monster is, once it's hit by my Exploding Flame Array, it will only turn into a pile of minced meat. This is what happens when you oppose me."
The surrounding Rain Ninja and Root ninjas also breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how strong that strange repulsive force was, it was impossible to withstand such a high-level trap that detonated at close range when caught off guard.
However, as the smoke and dust were gradually washed away by the rain, everyone's smiles froze on their faces.
In the center of that charred ruin, a figure still stands tall.
Nagato.
He not only survived, but he also maintained the same posture of protecting Xiao Nan. However, the price he paid was devastating.
His once intact legs were now a bloody mess, the skin charred black, even revealing the white bones beneath. Blood gushed down his tattered trousers, staining the puddles at his feet red.
But he seemed oblivious to the pain. His pale face was expressionless, not even a furrowed brow. That absolute indifference to extreme suffering, transcending biological instinct, was more chilling than any grotesque expression.
"How is this possible... how can he still stand with injuries like that?" A Rain Ninja took a step back in horror. "Is... is he even human?"
"Zizi..."
Raindrops fell on Nagato's charred wounds, making a soft sound as they carried away the last trace of warmth.
Nagato slowly turned his head, glancing at Konan behind him, who was also disheveled but unharmed, and at Yahiko's cold corpse not far away.
"Xonan."
Nagato's voice was eerily calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority: "Hold Yahiko and stay here. Leave the rest to me."
"Nagato...your leg..." Konan covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face, wanting to go forward and help him up.
"do not come."
Suddenly, a tangible killing intent erupted from Nagato's body. It wasn't just a fluctuation of chakra; it was a terrifying aura mixed with despair, rage, and divinity. This aura instantly swept across the entire canyon, even causing the originally cold rain to freeze into ice needles, stinging the skin.
He slowly turned around, dragging his crippled legs, and walked step by step towards the encirclement. With each step, he left a shocking trail of blood on the ground.
