Boom!
With the activation of Planetary Devastation, Deva Path Pain's perennially indifferent face couldn't help but gradually turn ferocious.
Even for a 'god' like him, Planetary Devastation was by no means a standard technique.
Especially now, wanting to seal a Tailed Beast like the 'Eight-Tails Gyūki' required a continuous, uninterrupted supply of Chakra until the Eight-Tails Gyūki was completely sealed.
The Chakra required for this was massive, something a sickly person like Nagato simply couldn't provide normally.
The current Nagato could only squeeze his own body!
Not hesitating to—damage his very foundation!
Under Nagato's desperate supply of Chakra, the Nine-Tailed from the original work might have been able to force its way out, but the Eight-Tails Gyūki clearly lacked that ability.
Almost in an instant.
The entire Hidden Cloud Ninja Village ground roared; various buildings and even the earth itself began to crack, then were pulled into the air to converge around the black sphere.
The Eight-Tails Gyūki was, naturally, no exception!
Besides that, there were a large number of Hidden Cloud Civilians and Ninjas... even though Deva Path Pain's primary target for sealing was the Eight-Tails Gyūki, those caught in the crossfire found it hard to withstand the aftershocks. During this time, only a few Jonin could barely hold on, and that was only because Nagato didn't care enough to bother with their lives.
Five minutes later.
With a massive amount of giant rocks rising into the sky, the Eight-Tails Gyūki was finally completely sealed.
"Eight-Tails, sealing successful!"
"Withdraw!"
Deva Path Pain's tone was indifferent.
After saying that.
He directly controlled the small moon hanging in the sky, heading straight out of the Hidden Cloud Village, not caring at all about the now shattered village that could be called a field of ruins.
However... before Deva Path Pain left, he gave a subtle glance toward a very ordinary pile of rocks outside the Hidden Cloud Village.
His brow furrowed slightly, but after thinking for a moment, he still shook his head.
Clearly.
He had sensed something was wrong but had no intention of dealing with it. After all, for him right now, the most important thing was sealing the Eight-Tails.
Everything else was unimportant!
As the Six Paths of Pain left, Obito naturally had no desire to continue either.
His Mangekyo spun slightly, and the surrounding space distorted, completely sucking Obito inside... Meanwhile, on the other side.
Inside the pile of rocks that Deva Path Pain had glanced at casually, the Senju Tobirama team was indeed staying there.
However, from the outside, this place looked completely unremarkable.
Clearly.
Senju Tobirama had long since used Sealing Jutsu to create a small barrier here.
Almost nothing could be sensed from the outside; only top-tier experts might subtly detect a trace of Chakra fluctuations.
At this time, Sakumo Hatake, Chen Baojun, and Maruboshi Kosuke surrounded Senju Tobirama in a standard tactical formation, while Senju Tobirama sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, using Sensory Ninjutsu to observe the nearby Hidden Cloud Village.
As the creator of the Flying Thunder God Technique, he was naturally a powerful sensory Ninja as well.
Although he didn't dare to use his sensory abilities to their full extent out of wariness for Nagato, he could still vaguely sense the situation in the Hidden Cloud Village.
At this moment.
Senju Tobirama opened his eyes, a trace of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
Clearly.
The glance Deva Path Pain gave him before leaving had been directly sensed by Senju Tobirama.
But, fortunately!
Perhaps because the other party was in a hurry to deal with the Eight-Tails, they didn't bother with them.
"Nidaime-sama, how is it?"
Sakumo Hatake asked in a low voice.
Chen Baojun and Maruboshi Kosuke also couldn't help but look at Senju Tobirama.
Hearing this question, Senju Tobirama's expression gradually darkened.
"The Hidden Cloud Village is finished!"
"The Eight-Tails has been taken by the Akatsuki Organization, the Fourth Raikage is now heavily injured, and the Hidden Cloud Village's Ninjas have suffered massive losses."
"As expected of the Rinnegan!"
Senju Tobirama's voice was low.
Previously, when he heard Uchiha Jin's account in Konoha, he didn't have a real sense of it, but now that he had truly sensed the power of the Six Paths of Pain, he understood the true power and terror of the 'Eyes of the Six Paths Sage'.
It was truly an eye created by Uchiha Madara based on the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and by merging his elder brother's cells.
Even if Nagato was just a container, he could display such terrifying strength. What if these eyes were in Madara's own body?
Unimaginable!
One must know that he could sense the strength of the Fourth Raikage; even if he were to take action, it would be difficult to win in a short time. Yet, in the hands of Nagato with the Rinnegan, the other party couldn't even display their full strength.
What if it were himself?
He didn't know!
But he figured only his elder brother or Uchiha Jin would be qualified to fight against the current Nagato with the Rinnegan.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
While Senju Tobirama felt shocked, Sakumo Hatake and the other two also felt their scalps go numb.
Hidden Cloud Village? Finished?
That wasn't some small Ninja village, but one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, the most powerful in the Ninja World, capable of standing on equal footing with Konoha!
In fact... even among the Five Great Ninja Villages, the Hidden Cloud Village was among the strongest few, with only Konoha truly being able to suppress them.
And such a powerful Ninja village had been finished so easily?
Akatsuki Organization... thinking of this name, the three felt a chill!
"The Akatsuki Organization has left; now it's our turn to act."
"Go!"
Senju Tobirama immediately stood up.
After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, his gaze became cold again. He directly put on the Akatsuki's Auspicious Cloud Black Robe, changed into an ordinary person's face, and sped straight toward the Hidden Cloud Village, which had turned into a field of ruins.
Sakumo Hatake and the others naturally followed closely behind.
Two minutes later.
When their team truly arrived at the Hidden Cloud Village and saw the state of the ruins, the shock in their hearts could be imagined.
Who would have thought that the ruins before them were once the second strongest of the Five Great Ninja Villages—the Hidden Cloud Village?
"This—how could it be?"
"The Akatsuki Organization members who came to the Hidden Cloud Village this time... I remember there were only a few of them, right?"
"Too terrifying!"
The group sighed repeatedly.
Senju Tobirama didn't speak. After taking a deep breath, he said indifferently, "Execute the mission, let's move!"
After saying that.
He first sensed the Fourth Raikage's location, and then, ignoring the survivors of the Hidden Cloud Village, he headed all the way toward the mountain range behind the village. Sakumo Hatake and the other team members naturally followed suit.
Perhaps they felt a bit of sympathy for the Hidden Cloud Village's plight, but as Ninjas, they quickly composed themselves, and their gazes subsequently became completely cold, ruthless, and filled with killing intent!
Because they understood clearly in their hearts that Konoha was their only home.
And the reason their home could maintain its current peace wasn't that the Akatsuki Organization was willing to give up on Konoha voluntarily, but simply because their Konoha was strong enough.
Uchiha Jin!
Their Hokage-sama had the ability to deal with any incoming enemy!
