Being the strongest in the ninja world is not only an honor, but also the strongest protection for a small country like the Rain Country.

Nagato believes that only if he is fierce enough can he protect Konan, the Hidden Rain Village and the Rain Country. Only by realizing Yahiko's dream of peace in the Ninja World can he let the soul of his best friend rest in peace.

Relying on the powerful force of the Rinnegan, he successfully killed Hanzo to complete his revenge, and also protected the Hidden Rain Village and the Rain Country through ruthless killing, establishing his own status and new personality as the God of the Ninja World.

In the process, Nagato gradually became confused by his own power and began to truly believe that he was a god, an omnipotent god.

In fact, he was not so determined at the beginning. After all, he had only killed tens of thousands of ordinary ninjas, while Konan had frequent contact with a "god".

Through Konan, Nagato witnessed many miracles, such as the divine court meeting completed in an instant, the gifts that appeared out of thin air, and the sacrifices after prayers.

Nagato also enjoyed elixirs that were beyond his imagination.

At first, Xiaonan got him elixirs to cure his disability, and then he exchanged them for several different magical medicines, including elixirs and liquid medicines, through tasks.

After the great war two years ago, Nagato was able to recover quickly from his weakness, and these potions played a huge role.

To be honest, the miracles displayed by the Emperor of the Divine Court were far more miraculous than Nagato's simple strength, which made him less confident that he was a god.

The change in things originated from Black Zetsu.

Uchiha You turned against Tian Gang and killed his ancestor, and Black Zetsu finally had to join the Akatsuki organization.

In order to gain Nagato's trust and to help mature the Rinnegan, Black Zetsu contributed a lot of knowledge and guided Nagato to gradually develop the abilities of the Rinnegan.

At the instigation of this old silver coin, Nagato mastered the art of reincarnation, and this art of bringing the dead back to life quickly solidified his belief that he was a god.

Resurrection from the dead is a known true miracle, so Nagato is a god.

Even if Xiaonan warned him to respect another "god", it could not change his perception of himself.

Nagato knew that Shenting Tiandi had many miraculous abilities, and they were all beyond his reach, but he also believed that he could do what Tiandi could not do.

Such as suppressing the ninja world, bringing peace, and resurrecting the dead.

But the situation is different now. Nagato was actually suppressed by Uchiha Yu in the battle, and the opponent kept saying that he was letting him win.

If what Uchiha You said was true, how could he defeat Konoha Village? If he couldn't defeat Konoha Village, how could he create the greatest deterrent in the ninja world and thus create a new era of peace?

Nagato's confidence was based on creating peace and resurrecting the dead. Now he suddenly found that he could not save the ninja world, and the only thing left was the Rinnegan Technique.

But how could he bear to die and save others?

Stop kidding, no one can make him die except the protagonist.

Nagato stared at Uchiha You fiercely, and the chakra in his body began to boil again: "I am a god, an invincible god, how can I not beat a ninja like you!!"

The fluctuation of chakra was like a tsunami, and even caused a strong storm, setting off another round of sandstorm.

Nagato's madness broke out without warning, and both Miwa Masayo and Uchiha Yu were shocked. The two immortals looked at each other in bewilderment.

The little girl was full of confusion: "What happened? Is Nagato crazy?"

Uchiha You thought for a moment and guessed, "I don't think he's crazy. It seems that the fact that I'm stronger than him has shattered his faith."

Miwa Masayo said with disdain, "Tsk, such a weak belief that relies on external things, meow, it actually collapsed so easily, what a waste meow."

"Nagato is still very powerful though."

The little girl felt the strong wind caused by the chakra fluctuations and asked uncertainly: "With his reckless outburst, only Yuu's real body can defeat him, right?"

Uchiha You has already felt the fluctuations in space: "This kid is not just exploding, he is also trying to summon the Outer Path Demon Statue. They are all at the level of Bloodline Net. I may not be able to defeat that big guy who is pretending to be dead."

Miwa Masayo's eyes rolled, and he said embarrassedly, "Is that so, meow? Then I'll leave first, to prevent this clone from being destroyed by your fight. If it is destroyed, it will be difficult to create another one, meow."

The little loli with long black hair didn't wait for Uchiha You to answer. She flicked her fingers to light a flame, then stepped into the flame and disappeared.

Her movements were so fast that even Uchiha You didn't have time to stop her.

Uchiha You smiled bitterly and said, "Rika-chan, I found the problem with your hair clone. Her brain is not as fast as her body."

"I've already told you that Nagato is summoning the Outer Path Golem. How dare you use Fire Jump at this critical moment? You are so stupid."

…

Thousands of miles away in the secret realm of the landslide lake in Kawakuni, Miwa Masayo was surprised to find that the hair clone he had created with great difficulty had died.

The last memory of the clone before her death was that she was traveling through space by jumping through fire, and happened to encounter the chaos of time and space and was torn apart.

It was a miserable death.

The little loli with long black hair huddled in Uchiha You's arms, trembling for a full three minutes before she digested the fear brought by the death of her clone.

She raised her head, looked at Uchiha You with tearful eyes, and asked while crying: "The death of the clone is so real and terrifying, meow?"

Uchiha You: "Yeah, it's really scary."

The little Lolita sobbed and said, "Keyou, you are never afraid of meow."

Uchiha You smiled bitterly and said, "Rika-chan, I knew the Shadow Clone Technique before I met you. I have used Shadow Clone Technique more than 200 times on the battlefield, and all of them were killed by the enemy."

He held up two fingers: "I have experienced death more than two hundred times before I met you. I am used to it."

"In fact, many high-level ninjas have experienced and become accustomed to death through the Shadow Clone Technique, so they are so indifferent to life."

"Low-level ninjas in war are in danger of losing their lives at any time. They can die at any time from traps, ninjutsu, enemy swords, or even betrayal by their own people. High-level ninjas are not likely to die easily, but they suffer from the torture of death."

"The culture of ninja is a culture of death, a culture that tends to self-destruct."

Uchiha You's eyes were full of disgust: "I don't like this culture, so I want to change it, so I will join forces with Orochimaru to try to create a long enough period of peace and create a ninja world without so many combat missions."

"When the missions that most ninjas perform are not about fighting and life-threatening, but about creating and building this world, I think their mentality will definitely change."

"When peace lasts for a generation, the culture of the ninja world will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes."

When the little loli with long black hair was listening to Uchiha You talking, the ground shook audibly and both immortals were shocked.

This is the secret realm of Loulan, which has a full 300 seconds of time dislocation protection, but it can still transmit vibrations. It can be seen that the intensity of the vibrations is very exaggerated.

Miwa Masayo turned over and came behind Uchiha You, put his arms around his neck, and the next moment the two of them appeared on a rock somewhere in the desert of the Wind Country.

On this hard rock, the vibrations of the earth's crust could be felt more clearly, and Uchiha You quickly determined a lot of information.

"The direction and distance both point to the northwest of the Wind Country. It must have been Nagato who did it."

"The shaking of the earth's crust is quite violent. The intensity of the earthquake should be above magnitude eight."

"But the interference between the shear wave and the longitudinal wave has almost no angle, it is exactly 90 degrees, which means that the earthquake source is very shallow from the landmark. Too shallow."

"No, it's not a question of whether it's shallow or not, but the earthquake happens on the surface."

Miwa Masayo asked in surprise: "The earthquake that occurred on the surface, could it be a landslide?"

Uchiha You shook his head and said, "Impossible. For a landslide to reach a magnitude 8 earthquake, it would require a drop of more than 5 kilometers. There is no mountain with such a high relative height in the Ninja World."

The little girl frowned and said, "Is it not possible even if the landslide is bigger?"

Uchiha You explained: "It's not a matter of size, but the mountain must have a slope. Without an exaggerated height difference of several thousand meters, the upper limit of the scale of the landslide cannot reach the level of triggering an 8.0 magnitude earthquake."

The little girl became even more curious, and asked curiously, "Could it be caused by a meteorite, meow?"

"Before the death of the hair clone, I witnessed Nagato's use of the Heavenly Obstacle Shock Star."

“That’s impossible.”

Uchiha You retorted: "Although we don't know how big Nagato's meteor is, we didn't feel any vibrations before, so the size of the meteor must be very limited."

"Since the previous Tianaizhenxing didn't cause a major earthquake, it's impossible now."

"Among the pupil techniques of the Rinnegan, there seems to be no technique more powerful than the Heavenly Shock Star Technique. What on earth did Nagato do?"

Uchiha You filtered through all the techniques that Nagato mastered in his mind, and then eliminated the impossible options one by one. Finally, he was surprised to determine the only answer.

"I know what's going on." He said to Miwa Masayo, "Nagato has summoned the Outer Path Demon Statue. This is going to be a disaster."

"Only a body of the Ten-Tails this huge can cause an earthquake of magnitude 8 when it hits the ground."

"Oh my, my wooden clone is definitely not going to be saved."

"The clone needs support..."

…

How terrifying is an 8.0 magnitude earthquake?

In an instant, the ninjas present were thrown into the air more than ten meters high by the vibration, and the sand on the ground's rock slabs flew to a height of hundreds of meters, revealing a red rock layer.

The rocks are also covered with cracks, from which magma, mud, hot steam, sulfur vapor and other messy things are spewing out.

And this horrific earthquake was actually the result of a huge monster that was brought over by spiritualism - the Outer Golem, falling from a height of 100 meters.

Outer Path Demon Statue is the name given by Black Zetsu. It is actually the body of the Ten-Tails, the animal form of the Divine Tree, and a behemoth taller than a skyscraper.

The heretic demon statue stood on the ground. The sand flying hundreds of meters high only reached its knees. The demon body that covered the sky and blocked the sun. The shadow cast on the ground completely enveloped the entire battlefield.

Standing in a shadow of such huge size that it is difficult to describe, one would even have the illusion that it was dark. Everyone was so shocked that their hands and feet were out of control and they could only stand there stupidly, staring at this giant.

After the spiritual communication ended, the outer demon statue exuded boundless evil spirit, breaking through the clouds with a momentum more ferocious than a volcanic eruption, and completely dispersed the few clouds in the sky.

The sky turned a cloudless blue.

But the clear sky only lasted for a moment, and a huge and ominous chakra spread out, and the natural energy of the lightning spirit was attracted and rolled in, gathering into dark clouds with the chest of the outer statue as the center.

The lightning illuminated the Ten-Tails' body in the shadows, making the monster look even more hideous and terrifying.

Nagato stood on top of the Outer Path Demon Statue, above the thundercloud, and snorted at Uchiha You who flew into the air to confront him: "Now, do you still dare to say that you let me off the hook?"

Uchiha You's special wooden clone was very helpless. He had not expected that Nagato's mentality was so fragile. Simple verbal stimulation could trigger such a violent reaction in him and even summon the Outer Path Demon Statue.

[Nagato, you are so fragile, how can you bring peace to the ninja world? No wonder you were defeated by the protagonist's words even though you clearly beat him.]

[What's the difference between you and the old man who won the war but took the initiative to pay compensation? ]

Even though Uchiha You complained in his heart, the Outer Path Demon Statue in front of him was terrifyingly powerful.

The ugly head opened its mouth and let out a roar, which then transformed into a tide of wind blades that covered half of the battlefield.

This unconsciously used ninjutsu was a powerful tool for clearing out miscellaneous soldiers. It was not a threat at all to Uchiha You. With a few simple flashes, he easily avoided all the wind blades.

Uchiha Yu's Mangekyō Sharingan spun wildly, and in this attack, he saw 22,453 wind blades being activated, and then meaninglessly wasted on the sand and rocks.

You know, each wind blade is condensed by chakra, which is really an exaggerated waste.

Nagato has the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan and is extremely talented. The amount of chakra in his body is enormous, but he cannot withstand the crazy waste of the Outer Path Demon.

After all, Nagato's own strength is only at the Super Shadow level, which is still a long way from the Six Paths level.

With such strength combined with the Rinnegan, he forcibly raised his power level, which was dangerous enough in itself.

But he was still not satisfied, and even took the risk of controlling the Ten-Tails body at the level of the Bloodline Net.

This is a super-enhanced version of a small horse pulling a big cart. If you are not careful, the car will be destroyed and people will die.

After roaring, the Outer Path Demon Statue swung its arms and hit Uchiha You.

Before the giant hand arrived, the strong wind made it difficult for Uchiha You to fly steadily. He simply flew along with the strong wind and easily dodged the clapping of the Outer Path Demon Statue.

The battle was fierce, but the performance was very strange. Uchiha You was like an agile mosquito, while the Outer Path Demon Statue was like a mad human, clapping frantically trying to slap the mosquito to death.

But Nagato didn't know that it was impossible for the Outer Path Demon Statue to hit Uchiha Yu. Not only did he fly very fast, but he also mastered the ability to teleport through space. Wherever he could see, he could flash to his destination just by thinking about it.

What's more, this specially made wooden clone also possesses the power of time. It can use the power of time to predict movements and dodge in advance calmly.

There is no way that the huge and clumsy Outer Path Demon Statue could catch Uchiha Yu.

Uchiha You was not idle while dodging. He frequently launched attacks on every corner of the Outer Path Statue, trying to find the weakness of the Ten-Tails' body.

But he soon discovered that he could not defeat the Outer Statue at all. Even his ninjutsu and taijutsu could not break through its surface defenses, even its limbs, joints, and even its eyes.

Nagato stood on the head of the Outer Path Demon Statue, watching Uchiha Yuu flying around in the giant palm in a seemingly embarrassed manner, with all the attacks he launched being ineffective. He suddenly felt in a good mood.

He pointed at Uchiha You and laughed, then asked jokingly: "Uchiha You, look at how miserable you are now. Don't you look like a mosquito that is about to be slapped to death?"

"Didn't you say you'd let me off? Come on! Let me see how you can fight me if you don't let me off. Are you going to run around like a fly or a mosquito?"

Nagato's words angered Uchiha Yuu, mainly because he was telling the truth.

Uchiha You's life level has reached the Kekkei Network, and even his wood clone has the power of the Six Paths level, so of course he can go easy on Nagato.

But facing the powerful Outer Path Golem, he couldn't rely on the power of his clone to fight it, as the gap between the two sides was too big.

[No, it's not that I can't fight him, but... I can only hit him once with my clone's power.]

[I need a constant supply of wooden clones to support me in order to fight against the Outer Path Golem.]

Uchiha You looked at the smug Nagato and suddenly made up his mind:

【Done! 】

[I believe that my main body will make the right judgment. The assistance from the wooden clones is coming in an endless stream.]

[It doesn’t matter if I guess wrong. If I don’t get timely support after the attack, I will completely disintegrate and know nothing. ]

Uchiha You suddenly flew far away from the attack range of the Outer Path Demon Statue. During the flight, he shed the appearance of his wooden clone, revealing his original wooden texture.

Nagato's face suddenly turned as pale as paper.

He could see very clearly through the Rinnegan that Uchiha You's transformation was not due to the use of transformation techniques, but rather some special wood clone that concentrated chakra and never lost the disguise of the wood clone.

He was actually suppressed by Uchiha Yu's wooden clone and had to summon the Outer Path Demon Statue to turn the tables.

Nagato had to admit that the gap in strength between him and Uchiha Yuu had reached an unattainable level.

No wonder Uchiha You said he was letting the opponent win. His way of using wooden clones to fight was exactly like a Jonin fighting a Genin who had just graduated.

Uchiha Yu's wooden clone ignored Nagato. He concentrated all his chakra and mixed it into fairy chakra in his body, launching two wood-style ninjutsu.

Wood Style: Advent of the Tree World

Wood Release: Dharmadhatu Heaven and Earth: Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun

The tree world was born in the desert and created countless big trees out of thin air, creating a primeval forest.

The Dharma Realm of Heaven and Earth, Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun absorbed the newborn tree and formed a giant wooden man in the form of Erlang Shen with the wooden clone as the core.

The size of the Dharma Realm is much larger than that of the True Thousand Hands, and is not inferior to the scale of the Outer Dao Demon Statue.
