The Sand's rebellion caused the entire Alliance Army to fall into chaos.
For a time, there were angry roars everywhere.
Under the counterattack of the Sand, the Alliance Army suffered heavy losses and continuously retreated.
"It's over." Tsunade had a look of despair.
From the moment the Sand rebelled, the momentum had been lost.
Tsunade and Terumī Mei were quickly defeated by the attacks of White Fang, Kakashi, and Gaara, dragging their seriously injured bodies back to the rear of the army.
The alliance army began to retreat, showing signs of defeat.
Kakashi, White Fang, and Gaara quietly watched them retreat, not stopping them.
"The first war is about to end." White Fang sighed.
"I believe that this time, Shinobi world should be able to see the horror of Seireitei."
"Never underestimate the hearts of people." Gaara said lightly, "For them, this is only the first failure. They will not give up easily."
"It doesn't matter. What we lack now is time. Naruto should be back soon." Kakashi said lightly, "Our final plan has not been activated yet."
"Without Naruto, Seireitei can stop the alliance army. When Naruto returns and makes a plan, they will be unable to stop him."
"Moreover, we have many trump cards. Kyubi has not appeared this time."
For Seireitei, this war was just a warm-up.
The purpose was just to let Shinobi world see Seireitei's strength.
"But our Seireitei's losses are not small." The always benevolent White Fang could not help but sigh.
No one was the winner in this battle.
After all, Ninja Allied Forces had a large base. Although the army was defeated, the losses were still within the scope of control.
But where was the total number of Seireitei? Let alone a thousand people, even if a hundred people died, they would feel distressed.
Kakashi, on the other hand, was much more receptive than White Fang. He whispered, "Shinigami, who had not experienced death, could not transform. Although Seireitei's army had suffered a lot of losses this time, Shinigami, who survived, would definitely become an elite. What's more, the one who rushed to the front was still Hollow. This time, Orochimaru's research had played a great role. As long as the equipment was mass-produced, we could have more Hollow. The souls in the Pure Land would become our most advantageous reserve army. We, Seireitei, are already in an invincible position."
What Ninja Allied Forces did not know was that this war was only for Seireitei to train soldiers.
On the other side, the strongest, Nagato, was already standing with Minato.
In the face of the golden flash that resounded through Shinobi world, Nagato did not dare to be careless.
One must know that when he was alive, Minato's strength was equal to the normal Jiraiya. After becoming Shinigami, his true strength could not be underestimated.
Moreover, Seireitei letting Minato deal with him alone was enough to show their trust in Minato.
Nagato waved his arms. In the next moment, six Pain simultaneously surrounded Minato.
"Let me see what kind of strength the golden flash that has been famous for a long time has."
The beast called out the psychic beast, and the Asura Pain fired a finger bomb.
Minato's expression was relaxed, and he instantly disappeared in front of everyone. Rasengan directly pressed down on the beast.
With a loud explosion, the beast path was directly blown apart.
Minato landed elegantly on the ground. White colored Shinigami robe fluttered in the wind, and a bright yellow colored Sword in his hand emitted a faint light.
"You will see it."
"Condense, Meta field." A dazzling red light shot up into the sky, and it fell down at the apex like an umbrella, enveloping the entire area. The entire air began to fill with red specks of light.
"This is Shikai?" The first time he fought with Minato, Nagato was still full of vigilance.
"I don't know if he has mastered Bankai." Nagato still remembered that back then, Shion Bankai almost killed his own Pain.
If not for Jiraiya, he might have directly flipped the carriage.
Minato dared to deal with him alone, so he definitely had some trump card.
His strength wouldn't be inferior to Shion.
At this moment, he was in Meta field. He could no longer see the other figures of Ninja. Even the venue had turned into rubble, and the sky was dark red.
"This is a different space?" His eyes narrowed, full of fear and seriousness.
The entire space revealed a strange dark red color. He could feel Reiatsu flowing through the air.
It suppressed Chakra to a certain extent.
Although it was not much, it could easily affect Ninja's judgment.
What made Nagato even more afraid was that he did not see any flaws in Meta field at all.
The battle between Ninja could change the weather was already shocking enough, and now it was directly pulled out of the alien space.
What the hell, was this Zanpakutō's suppression force?
It was not an exaggeration to say that Nagato had already felt the pressure.
The previous Shion was like this, and so was Minato.
"What? You are already so afraid that you don't dare to move? Then leave one hand behind. I might spare your life." Minato's gentle and concerned voice sounded, making Nagato's face even colder.
My G.o.d, he looks so gentle, and he is also a pressure freak!
For some reason, he saw the shadow of Naruto on Minato.
No wonder they were father and son.
So they were all the same.
At this time, Rinne Tensei had already restored the destroyed Animal Path. A few huge Intermediary Spirit Beasts glared at Minato.
"Just like what the intelligence says, Rinne Tensei has the ability to restore other puppets, so he must be the first to destroy Rinne Tensei in battle." Minato's eyes flashed.
"Banshō Ten'in." Pain was the first to make a move. A powerful gravitational force pulled Minato towards Pain's hand.
However, this Banshō Ten'in did not use much Chakra, and he was more probing.
"Hmm? It seems like it's the same as what the intelligence says, gravity and repulsion." Minato had a relaxed expression. Under Nagato's stunned gaze, he released a huge Reiatsu that instantly offset Banshō Ten'in, and then his figure disappeared in an instant.
"Innate Everlasting Kidō, Death Rising Divine Wind, Explode Rasengan." In the next moment, the huge Rasengan descended from the sky, directly destroying Rinne Tensei and the Animal Path.
Minato tapped his toes lightly, using the two Psychic Beasts as a springboard. As he jumped, Zanpakutō directly split the Human Path in half.
His figure continuously flashed through the entire space like lightning, his figure turning into a yellow flash.
"Hadō #54. Haien."
"Hadō #63: Raikōhō."
An unending stream of Kidō erupted from his palm. Under Nagato's shocked gaze, four of the six Pain streaks were directly crippled, leaving only Pain and Asura Pain.
The entire process was too fast for Nagato to even react.
"Why can it flash directly in the whole space? Doesn't Hiraishin no Jutsu need to leave a tactic?" Nagato was full of doubts.
Before going to Seireitei, Konoha had already told Akatsuki all the information about Minato and the others.
He also understood Minato's Hiraishin no Jutsu technique.
Although it was hard to defend against, the biggest flaw was that he needed to leave a tactic behind.
He needed to pay attention to the location of the tactic.
Furthermore, even Hiraishin no Jutsu would not be able to do anything if he shared his vision with six Pain.
However, reality hit him hard in the face.
Minato could perform Hiraishin no Jutsu's jump anywhere in the space.
"Doesn't Shinigami need any tactics after transforming? Or can he perform teleportation in the entire space?" A flash of realization appeared in Nagato's eyes.
However, it was too late to understand.
This kind of Zanpakutō, this kind of ability is really too terrifying. No wonder those Ninja Villages treat Seireitei as a thorn in their side. If it is allowed to develop, the entire Shinobi world will not be able to stop it. However, it is not enough to defeat me.
Nagato's expression froze. His body suddenly exploded with a huge Chakra. Even Meta field seemed to be shocked in an instant.
"Kuchiyose." The huge centipede and two-headed dog appeared. Nagato stood on top of the centipede and looked down at Minato arrogantly.
Pain and the remaining Asura Pain turned into corpses and fell to the ground.
At this moment, Nagato would use all of his strength to deal with the enemy.
"This is more presentable. I heard that you are Naruto's senior brother. I hope you won't disappoint me." As Minato chuckled, his body instantly flashed in front of Nagato. Zanpakutō slashed out.
"Shinra Tensei." Nagato's eyes narrowed, and a powerful shockwave exploded out. Minato revealed a strange smile, and his figure disappeared.
"Infinite Nature: Divine Wind Triple Life Rasengan." Minato appeared from behind Nagato with Rasengan in his hand and smashed it down.
"It's too fast. Can Hiraishin no Jutsu use it infinitely?"
Seal Technique
Chakra moved in an orderly manner, actually directly absorbing Rasengan, and Nagato also took the opportunity to turn around, one hand grabbing towards Minato.
"Able to absorb Kidō? What a powerful technique." Minato's mind moved slightly, and he reached out to block Nagato's attack. However, after receiving the other party's grab, his heart trembled, and he keenly sensed that something was wrong.
Nagato's attack was soft, and it did not seem like Taijutsu who was using it to hurt the other party at all.
Then, he was shocked to find that Reiatsu in his body was actually continuously moving towards Nagato's hands.
Minato's eyes turned cold. Reiatsu fluctuated and instantly broke free from Nagato's restraint. A Hiraishin no Jutsu returned to the rear, and his eyes were full of fear as he looked at Nagato.
"This is an ability that is not recorded in the information. It seems that he has a lot of methods." This thought flashed through Minato's mind, and then his figure flashed again in the space.
"Hadō #54. Haien."
Minato used Kidō from a distance, and this attack was absorbed by Nagato without any warning.
As expected, ordinary Kidō would not be able to do anything. However, in close combat, he would be absorbed by Reiatsu. He was able to attack and defend. As expected of Rinnegan, who surpassed Sharingan. Without the existence of Shinigami, Nagato would have been the ceiling of this Shinobi world, Ninja. Minato looked calm.
"Since that's the case, let's use the restricted Kidō."
"Bakudō #63. Sajō Sabaku." A chain as thick as a snake stretched out from the ground and wrapped around Nagato.
"It's useless, Shinra Tensei." A violent shockwave burst forth from Nagato's hand and directly shattered the chain.
He stood on top of the giant psychic beast and looked down at Minato with a cold gaze. "It's useless. In the face of absolute strength, everything is useless."
Minato was troubled by Nagato's Rinnegan.
The original Nagato had all of Pain's Ninjutsu, regardless of whether it was in close range or far distance, he had enough advantage.
The only advantage Minato had was his agility and Hiraishin no Jutsu.
The current situation was that Nagato could not catch Minato, and Minato could not hurt him.
"As expected of Naruto's senior brother." Minato had a relaxed expression and even said with a smile.
"No, it should be said that he is worthy of being the prophesied child."
Minato also understood the prophecy of the big toad, Sage. In the prophecy, the child of prophecy could decide the decline of Shinobi world.
Think carefully.
If Shinigami did not exist, then Nagato, who had such ability, could definitely dominate the fate of Shinobi world.
Thinking of this, he felt a little curious about Nagato.
"You clearly have such powerful eyes. Why do you want to go against the entire Shinobi world Alliance Army? Why do you want to go against Seireitei? Akatsuki and Seireitei don't seem to have any deep hatred." Minato asked curiously.
"You have obstructed our plan." Facing Minato's question, Nagato raised his eyebrows and said coldly.
"Plan? It is to capture tailed-beasts, right?" Minato secretly nodded.
"Do you want nine tailed-beasts to become war weapons and conquer Shinobi world?"
Minato had heard rumors about nine tailed-beasts before.
It was said that all nine tailed-beasts were left behind by Sage, and after that, they were controlled by each Ninja Village and sealed in Jinchuriki's body.
Nagato had six eyes of Sage, so his Ninjutsu might be related to tailed-beasts.
Because of this, he absolutely could not let Akatsuki succeed.
In the face of Minato's guess, Nagato did not answer.
"You won't succeed." Minato smiled and disappeared from where he stood. His body suddenly exploded with speed and strength that far exceeded his previous speed. He arrived above Nagato and condensed a huge mountain-like Rasengan in his hand. Then, he pressed down on Nagato.
"Boom." Along with the earth-shaking explosion, the aftermath of the explosion spread out with Nagato as the center. The entire earth cracked, and spiderweb-like cracks spread around.
The rocks on the ground were overturned, broken pieces flying everywhere.
The entire red space was enveloped by Haku's light.
"This Ninjutsu, this kind of power! Is this Yondaime Hokage?" Nagato's face was full of horror, but Rinnegan still crazily circulated, using the seal to absorb most of the tyrannical Reiatsu gathered on his body, forming a shield around his body.
But even so, after the explosion, the clothes on his body were already torn to pieces, and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. His body, which was already full of internal injuries, was like a candle in the wind.
The wind and sand dispersed, and the explosion stopped. He was stunned to find that the area he was in had been reduced to a pit at least ten meters deep.
Minato stood high in the sky. Half of his face was covered by Hollowfication's mask. He looked at himself coldly. His gentle eyes no longer existed. Instead, they were replaced by bone-chilling coldness and killing intent.
"This is Hollowfication?" Seeing Minato's eyes full of killing intent and his imposing manner, Nagato actually felt that he was in his heart.
It was clearly just Shikai and Hollowfication, but he had a feeling of facing Shion and Bankai.
Just think about it, if Minato had Bankai, then after Bankai and Hollowfication, Minato would definitely be able to completely beat him up, right?
This made Nagato even more determined to destroy Seireitei in his heart.
"The second round, begin." When he finished speaking, Minato had already disappeared.
