Uchiha You's fully released aura was too strong, and the special effect of the smoke cutting through the sky was even more exaggerated. I don't know how many ninjas from the Rain Country were scared by him.

As for the ordinary people from the Rain Country along the way, they felt as if they had seen gods. Facing the sunlight pouring down like a curtain of heaven, they were dazzled, trembling all over and kneeling on the ground, making a prostration gesture.

But these people of the Rain Country, who could not even stand up, held their heads high, staring intently at the golden sunlight leaking from the sky, with the same look of excitement and admiration.

The noise that Uchiha You deliberately created was so huge that there was no need to use the Yu Hu Zi Zai Jutsu to sense it. Nagato could see it with his eyes.

When the two sides were dozens of kilometers apart, he could clearly feel Uchiha You's momentum.

Nagato's expression was more serious than ever, because it was the first time he clearly felt that there was someone who could totally rival him.

If Nagato had not also sensed that Uchiha Yu's aura was peaceful and the chakra he emitted did not contain any murderous intent, he would have definitely let Konan retreat first.

Then he rushed over to stop the other person, buying time for Xiaonan to escape.

It’s not that Nagato feels that he is inferior to the other party, but he knows that once he fights with the other party, the aftermath of the battle will be extremely exaggerated, and he will not be able to protect the people he wants to protect.

But precisely because he didn't know what the other party was going to do, Nagato didn't know how to respond, and subconsciously walked to the gate of the Hidden Rain Village.

The ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village could not withstand the pressure and were unable to follow Nagato's footsteps. The only ones following Nagato were Konan and two core members of the Akatsuki organization: Scorpion and Kakuzu.

Uchiha You was not affected at all and continued to approach the Hidden Rain Village until Xiaonan sensed and identified Uchiha You's breath. She exclaimed: "It's Uchiha You!"

Black Zetsu emerged from the shadows in the corner of the gate, gritting his teeth and looking at Uchiha Ou, muttering to himself hatefully: "It's him, Uchiha Yuu from the Uchiha clan of Konoha Village, what does he want to do?"

"Is he here to find the Akatsuki organization, or... to find me?"

Scorpion stared blankly at the golden road in the sky and murmured, "If I can get his body, I can definitely make a better puppet."

"No, this puppet must be the best, the strongest puppet in the ninja world!"

Scorpion's mind was very excited, but his body was shaking involuntarily. During the violent shaking, the Crimson Amber that he wore outside his body became noticeably loose.

The noise caused by the shaking attracted everyone's attention, and they soon discovered that it was not Scorpion who was shaking out of fear, but the puppet strings that controlled the puppet were disturbed, causing violent shaking.

Kakuzu chuckled: "This is the first time I've discovered that a puppeteer has such a weakness. It's really eye-opening."

"No wonder the puppeteer is a profession developed by the Second Kazekage. Perhaps it is because the First Hokage died that you, the Sand Village, dare to take out such an expensive toy to play with."

Black Zetsu appeared silently behind Nagato and whispered, "Chief, we can't let Uchiha You come over like this. We must teach him a lesson, otherwise it will be difficult for us!"

Nagato said nothing, but the circles of the Rinnegan in his eye sockets spun rapidly, and a powerful aura rose into the sky, also creating a large hole in the rain clouds in the sky.

The hole opened by Nagato was larger than Uchiha Yu's Sky Road. It was like a huge lake, pouring down brilliant sunlight, illuminating the raindrops scattered in the sky with incomparable splendor.

Nagato's sudden outburst showed a stronger momentum, which surprised Kakuzu and other core members of Akatsuki, and also boosted their confidence.

[It turns out that our leader is so powerful, and he is worthy of the title of the strongest ninja in the ninja world. 】

Only Scorpion of the Red Sand suffered a great disaster. He was too close to Nagato. Under the impact of the powerful power of the Rinnegan, Fei Liuhu was completely paralyzed. He was transformed from a powerful weapon into a pile of useless weight.

Under the mocking gazes of Kakuzu and others, Scorpion had to take off his Higurashi like a crab shedding its shell, revealing his handsome true form as a human puppet.

This appearance of Scorpion is completely different from the ugly Fei Liuhu. Xiaonan, who originally had a bad impression of him, instantly increased his favorability by dozens of percentage points after seeing the appearance of Scorpion.

Even an old pervert like Black Zetsu couldn't help but look at Scorpion a few more times.

But Black Zetsu's power level was indeed high enough. It only took him a few seconds to confirm that Scorpion's body was also a puppet.

Black Zetsu was only slightly surprised by this new human puppet and didn't take it seriously.

It's just a puppet technique. The lower limit of this tricky ninjutsu is indeed far beyond that of a Genin, but the upper limit is also very limited.

Even if it is a human puppet made by a Kage-level ninja, it will greatly weaken the combat power of the original ninja, and at best it can reach the middle level of Kage.

With the combat power of a mere Kage level, he is just a pawn in Black Zetsu's eyes and is not a very powerful existence.

Black Zetsu looked down on it, but Nagato was very surprised and couldn't help but take a few more glances at it. His evaluation of Scorpion in his heart improved a lot.

Kakuzu was also a veteran ninja, an old man who had witnessed the emergence and development of puppetry. After looking it up and down, he recognized the essence of the human puppet.

He exclaimed in amazement: "Xie, I really misjudged you in the past. You are such a ruthless person that you can do such a cruel thing to yourself!"

Scorpion was in a bad mood. He lost control of the puppet during Nagato's outburst and was forced to take off the disguise he had been wearing for years.

Scorpion felt like someone suddenly pulled his pants off in the street, revealing his painted elephant fur pants. He was terrified and ashamed at the same time.

But Nagato proved how strong he was with actual actions. He didn't even need to attack Scorpion. He just burst out with his momentum and confronted the unknown enemy, which made Scorpion reveal his true colors.

No matter how ashamed or angry he felt, Scorpion would not have the slightest dissatisfaction towards Nagato.

Even though he had already begun to feel that life was meaningless and he even had the intention of dying because his body had become a puppet.

But Scorpion had just been transformed into a puppet after all, and still had a strong desire to survive and knowledge. Only after more than ten years of wear and tear would he completely lose his humanity and show the same desperate desire to die as when he fought against Chiyo.

Scorpion of the Red Sand doesn't want to die yet, so he absolutely dare not provoke Nagato.

But there are not so many concerns for Jiaodu.

Now he couldn't control any puppets outside his body, so he could only raise his hands. Dozens of blue poisonous Senbon suddenly shot out from his fingertips and all nailed Kakuzu's body.

Kakuzu was not angry. He reached out and pulled out the thousands of blades, then wiped the wounds and they disappeared.

How could the immortal ninja Kakuzu be afraid of Senbon's attack? Even if it was smeared with blue poison, it would only cause part of his body to dissolve and rot.

Kakuzu threw away the Senbon with an expressionless face and picked up his weapon casually. Scorpion, finding that his attack was ineffective, also deployed his combat form.

But Nagato had already noticed their conflict, and when his gaze swept over, the two Kage-level ninjas all froze under the impact of the Rinnegan's pupil power and completely lost control of their bodies.

Their conflict naturally ended.

Nagato snorted coldly: "Alright, infighting is prohibited among members of the Akatsuki organization. If anyone attacks a companion, I will sanction him."

After stopping the conflict between Sasori and Kakuzu, Nagato stopped looking at them: "The other side has sent out an invitation signal, Black Zetsu, Kakuzu, Sasori, you wait here for me to come back."

He looked at Xiaonan behind him and said, "Xiaonan, come with me to meet them."

After saying that, Nagato took the lead and floated up, and Konan also spread his white paper wings and flew into the air after him.

They flew up into the air at an extremely fast speed, and in the sky where the sunlight was hanging like a curtain, two ethereal figures were suspended in the air.

The tall one among them was Uchiha You, who exuded a fierce aura. Just now, he separated a branch of his aura and focused it on the people in the Akatsuki organization, greeting everyone with a fierce attack.

His aura was so ferocious that not only Scorpion and Kaku felt uncomfortable, but even Black Zetsu hiding in the shadows felt uneasy.

Only Nagato ignored Uchiha Yu's momentum impact, and Konan, who was standing behind him, also became immune to the negative effects by turning her body into paper.

That's why Nagato brought Konan to meet them.

Uchiha You looked at Nagato approaching and said with a smile: "Finally we meet, Nagato of the Akatsuki organization in the Hidden Rain Village."

"And...long time no see, Konan."

Konan had a blank expression on her face, but she responded politely, "Long time no see, Uchiha Yuu."

Neither Nagato nor Miwa Masayo were surprised by the conversation between Konan and Uchiha Yu. They all knew about the existence of the Shinto Council and that Konan and Uchiha Yu were connected.

At this moment, the two parties confronting each other in the air have a partnership of absolute trust, a relationship that cannot be separated.

Nagato said, "Uchiha Yuu, the head of the Uchiha clan of Konoha Village, why did you invade the Hidden Rain Village with such fanfare?"

Uchiha You did not hide anything and said directly: "I came here to discuss with you the issue of opening the passage to the Rain Country."

Nagato frowned and asked, "Open the passage to the Rain Country?"

Uchiha You: "In order to stabilize the entire ninja world and end the chaos in the Land of Earth, Konoha Village must directly control the Land of Earth. Therefore, the Land of Rain needs to open a passage so that Konoha ninjas can freely enter the Land of Earth."

The history of the ninja world is quite long, but as they have no tradition of recording history, their level of civilization is not high and their cultural heritage is very shallow.

In the thousands of years of history of the ninja world, it is not known whether there has ever been such a thing as attacking another state through a pretextual defense, but there is definitely no similar story.

So Nagato didn't know what Uchiha Yu meant by "borrowing the road".

But Nagato sensed the danger instinctively and refused without hesitation: "Impossible, the Rain Country will never let Konoha ninjas pass through at will."

Uchiha You smiled and said, "Don't be so decisive, Nagato. I'm here to let you know that nothing is absolute in the ninja world."

Nagato sneered, "I know what you are going to say. Isn't it what you ninjas from the great country say every day that you must have enough respect in front of strength?"

He opened his narrowed eyes wide, stared at Uchiha You with his lavender Samsara eyes, and said loudly: "Unfortunately, I am the one who holds the strongest power now, and you must also maintain enough respect in front of power!"

Uchiha You nodded and said: "You are right, dignity only lies on the edge of the sword."

He raised his right index finger and shook it from side to side, smiling and saying, “But this is not the truth I want to talk about.”

"What I'm saying is that the power you wield, Nagato, is not the strongest."

Uchiha You pointed his index finger at his nose: "I am the strongest."

Nagato was furious, his chakra surged and boiled all over his body, and he was about to teach Uchiha You a lesson.

But Uchiha You immediately raised his hand to stop Nagato's action: "Nagato, are you sure you want to fight me here?"

"It's only a hundred meters away from the main gate of the Hidden Rain Village. If you and I fight, I'm afraid that a single mistake will turn the Hidden Rain Village into ruins."

At this moment, the gate of the Hidden Rain Village broke its hinges under the impact of Nagato's chakra, and the collapsed gate proved that Uchiha Yu's words were true.

Nagato looked back at the mud and water splashed by the collapsed gate, and the boiling chakra in his body quickly subsided, obviously he heard what was said.

After a long while, he turned around and asked, "Uchiha You, are you forcing me to go to Konoha Village to fight you?"

Uchiha You waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't mean that. I came here to let you know that I am stronger than you, not to make an enemy of you."

Because he was behind him was the Hidden Rain Village, Nagato was indeed full of concerns and was furious. Even the veins on his forehead were bulging, but he could only growl: "Asshole!"

Uchiha You smiled and said, "Don't be so angry, why don't we fight somewhere else."

Nagato was shocked when he heard this, but before he could do anything, he found that everything in front of him was distorted. The long stretching and strange compression tore everything apart, and the world looked so bizarre.

Nagato tried to struggle, but found that his body was completely unable to move. Apart from the Rinnegan, he couldn't even move a finger.

In addition to being unable to move his body, he also discovered that Xiaonan behind him, and the horns and scorpion on the ground were all twisted, but the degree of twisting was not as severe as the environment.

But Nagato himself maintained his normal proportions and was not affected at all by the distortion of the environment.

Besides Nagato, the others who were able to maintain normal existence were Uchiha Yuu and Miwa Masayo behind him.

Nagato knew that his strength was far beyond the realm of Kage, and Uchiha Yu was at least equal to him, so it could be inferred that Miwa Masayo also possessed strength comparable to theirs.

No, there was still one person who had not been distorted. At the gate of the Hidden Rain Village that had completely lost its shape, there was a black shadow that maintained a normal human form.

That's Black Zetsu.

Nagato's heart moved, and only then did he realize that Black Zetsu's power was not simple either.

Nagato could also see through the Rinnegan that everyone was displaced from the environment, which meant that they were all moving rapidly in an indescribable direction.

The source of the power that dragged everyone down was Uchiha Yuu.

It’s not that his body is imprisoned or out of control, but that he has no concept of time and naturally cannot give his body the ability to move.

There was no concept of time, only the overall distortion, stretching and movement of space. Nagato looked at everything around him in horror, but gradually he figured out something.

He found that under the gaze of the Rinnegan, he seemed to know something. It was something that could not be expressed in words, but it was condensed into a ninjutsu, a space ninjutsu.

Suddenly, everything returned to normal. The distortions of Konan, Scorpion, and Kakuzu disappeared, but the surrounding environment also changed, from a swampy water town with heavy rain to an endless golden desert.

The Red Sand Scorpion was stunned. He snorted his small nose a few times and smelled an extremely familiar scent. He immediately knew where he was.

"The Kingdom of Wind." Scorpion couldn't help but shout, "We have arrived in the northwest of the Kingdom of Wind, the most desolate and uninhabited area in the Kingdom of Wind!"

Kakuzu and his men were dumbfounded. This was a space-time ninjutsu, but how could there be a space-time ninjutsu that could teleport without touching themselves?

This makes absolutely no sense.

Konan was also very surprised, but she believed that Uchiha You would not hurt her, and Nagato was right next to her, so she did not feel scared.

After the teleportation, Black Zetsu appeared in mid-air, his pitch-black body completely exposed, including his head which only had eyes and a mouth, which could be seen clearly by Uchiha Yu.

For Black Zetsu, the exposure of his true face was more terrifying than Scorpion shedding his outer shell. After the space was restored, he immediately dived into the shadow under the sand and hid in the shadow interface.

Uchiha You smiled and said, "Red Sand Scorpion is right. This is the northwest of Wind Country, the most uninhabited area farthest from human habitation."

"We are fighting here, so there is no need to worry about harming innocent people. Nagato, you can use your full strength without worrying about it."

Nagato took a deep breath and said, "It seems that you are very confident, Uchiha Yuu."

"I admit that your space-time ninjutsu is very impressive, but a mere ninjutsu is nothing."

"I will let you know that I, who possess the Eyes of God, am the strongest in the ninja world."

Samsara Eye: Shinra Tensei

Endless repulsive force erupted from Nagato's eyes, spreading outward in a spherical shape, pushing countless sands to spread in all directions like a tide.

Under Nagato's control, the powerful repulsive force accurately bypassed Konan, Kakuzu and Sasori and slapped towards Uchiha Yu.

Immortal Magic Five-Colored Aura

Uchiha You stretched out his right hand, and the five natural energies gathered into a five-colored halo. The halo bloomed quietly and opened a big hole on the repulsive surface, just enough to protect him and Miwa Masayo from the impact of the repulsive force.

The strange thing was that Nagato didn't feel that his repulsive force was offset.

The hole that protected Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo from the repulsive force was actually intact in his perception.

Seeing Nagato's scalp tingling, Uchiha You smiled and said, "The power of the Samsara Eye is indeed very strong, but Nagato's control over the Samsara Eye is much worse."

"If your level is only this, this competition will be very boring."

Faced with this straightforward provocation, Nagato's rage rose. He shouted angrily: "Foolish Uchiha Yu, you are provoking God. The consequences are definitely not something you can bear!"

He waved his hand to push the other members of the Akatsuki organization away, then raised his hands high, and a huge amount of chakra surged out and gathered in the sky together with the power of the Rinnegan.
