Chapter 491 An overwhelming victory, Nagato's path to enlightenment
"call out--"
"Moo..."
"Roar~~"
As the earth shook with each roar of beasts, several large summoning beasts with the Rinnegan made a stunning appearance, leaving Hanzo staring in disbelief.
"H-How is this possible? So many Rinnegan, what's going on?!"
However, his shock could not stop the unleashing of the summoned beasts. Almost simultaneously, the giant rhinoceros and the bull-footed earth-shattering beast charged forward, severely injuring several Rain Village members on the spot.
The split hellhound, along with centipedes, chameleons, and hell crabs, surrounded them from all directions. The Yatagarasu even carried Nagato and the others into the air, hurling bombs down one after another...
"Lord Hanzo, should we...should we continue?"
"Although we have different ideals, we are all working for Amegakure, so I think we can still talk..."
"Yes, Lord Nagato and Lord Yahiko are both outstanding Jonin you promoted. If this continues, it may result in both of them being injured, allowing other villages to benefit!"
As the various ninja beasts unleashed their power, the Rain Ninja, who had suffered heavy casualties, gently advised that they no longer had much will to fight.
Although Hanzo's prestige and dominance in Amegakure are absolute, the pressure they are facing now is terrifying, as they are facing several giant summoning beasts with Rinnegan.
[Damn it, has this shaken morale?] Hanzo thought to himself that things were not going well, but pretended to be calm. In fact, he was suffering in silence.
Others may compromise and switch sides, but for him, as the leader, there is no solution unless he is willing to give up power and dignity.
But if he wanted to do that, why would he need to ambush Nagato and the others to seize the Rinnegan? Wouldn't it be better for him to simply abdicate and hand over the throne to a worthy successor?
This is a life-or-death political struggle!
"Everyone, Hanzo has ambushed and persecuted us today without any reason. He is no longer the legendary figure who stood against all nations to protect Amegakure, nor the demigod who bestowed glory upon Amegakure..."
Seeing that Hanzo's loyal subordinates had suffered heavy losses and lost all morale, Yahiko immediately seized the opportunity to shout, "Now the only one who can bring hope to Amegakure is Nagato, who inherited the power of the Sage of Six Paths with the Rinnegan. For the future of Amegakure, please abandon the darkness and join us in supporting Nagato as the new leader of Amegakure. He is the true savior who transcends demigods!"
"Yahiko..." Nagato hurriedly tried to stop him upon hearing this, instinctively wanting to refuse.
But before he could finish speaking, Hanzo interrupted him, "Don't underestimate me, you brats. I am the Amegakure demigod, renowned throughout the ninja world."
With a roar, Hanzo removed his mask, bit his finger, and rapidly formed hand seals, "Summoning Jutsu..."
With a loud bang, a plume of white smoke appeared, and a massive salamander appeared at Hanzo's feet, instantly calming the wavering morale of the troops and boosting their spirits!
"Wow--"
In the blink of an eye, the salamander, his longtime partner, appeared and, without Hanzo's command, unleashed a massive, overwhelming cloud of poisonous mist.
A thick, toxic fog enveloped the battlefield in the blink of an eye, indiscriminately including all people and summoned beasts, friend or foe.
"This is bad! Hanzo's poisonous mist is so thick, it's hard to disperse with ordinary wind techniques. Nagato, what should we do?" Konan's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. Although they were using the Yatagarasu to dodge in mid-air, those summoned beasts...
Faced with her worries, Nagato smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, Konan."
As he spoke, his right pupil trembled slightly, and the Yatagarasu quickly ascended into the high-altitude clouds to avoid the poisonous gas.
"Nagato, should we retreat first?" Yahiko suggested, looking down at the battlefield that resembled a sea of poison. Hanzo's poison gas was terrifying; anyone who came into contact with it would die instantly.
"Retreat? Where can we go if we leave Amegakure? Don't worry, leave the rest to me." Nagato's eyes flashed coldly, his tone chilling. Today's ambush had crossed his bottom line; Hanzo must die!
Ignoring Yahiko and Konan's worries, Nagato locked onto his target through the perspectives of several summoned beasts, then leaped up and jumped down.
"Nagato..."
"Yahiko Konan said subconsciously, but as soon as she uttered the words, she saw Nagato, who was falling, brace himself up with both hands and shout in a low voice, "Shinra Tensei."
With a loud bang, a repulsive shield formed in his palm. Nagato, like a meteor shower, directly blew away the poison mist and slammed heavily onto the head of the salamander with lightning speed. The violent repulsive force instantly severely injured it, and it crashed into the ground, its fate unknown.
"Damn it, my Ibuki!" Hanzo roared in fury, exhaling poisonous gas and swinging his scythe.
'Sword Technique: Iaijutsu...'
In the blink of an eye, Nagato suddenly looked up, his three-tomoe left eye flashing crimson, and said, "Magic Illusion: Shackles Technique."
With a thud, the scythe fell to the ground. Hanzo's pupils contracted, and he froze on the spot, drenched in sweat. "Uchiha genjutsu? H-how is this possible??"
He knew that Nagato's left eye was a Sharingan, but having a Sharingan didn't mean he was good at genjutsu. At least he could resist ordinary Sharingan genjutsu.
But now...
"Using physical combat to distract me, then secretly exhaling poison gas to paralyze my senses? I must say, Hanzo, your combat skills and intelligence are far too outdated!" Nagato stared at Hanzo with a cold sneer, victory assured.
Although his left eye only has three tomoe, under the influence of the Rinnegan in his right eye, his eye power is in no way inferior to the Mangekyou Sharingan, which is enough to control Hanzo!
"Is that so? But isn't it a bit too early to deny me like this?" A resolute glint flashed in Hanzo's eyes as he took a deep breath and used the exhaled poison gas to disrupt the flow of his chakra.
The next instant, Hanzo's chain scythe flew through his hand once more, 'Sword Technique: Chain Scythe Double Strike…'
"Universal Guidance." Seeing the situation was extremely critical, Nagato used his left eye to perceive and his right eye's pupil technique to unleash its power.
To Hanzo's astonishment, his body appeared uncontrollably in front of Nagato, and the scythe attack changed, coincidentally slicing open the poison sac in Nagato's abdomen.
In an instant, the poison sac ruptured, causing the deadly poison to spread throughout his body. Hanzo collapsed, his body turning purplish-black, before he could even utter a word...
"Want the Rinnegan? Out of respect for your past as a trusted senior, I'll grant your wish in another way." Nagato spoke calmly to Hanzo, who was dazed and afflicted with poison, as he simultaneously unleashed a powerful attack, "Light: Shinra Tensei..."
With a whoosh, a repulsive force erupted, like a level three gale, pushing outwards from Nagato in all directions, clearing away the nearby poisonous mist and revealing the Rain Ninja and the Rinne Summoning Beasts.
"Hanzo is dead. Will you follow us into the future or become history? Amegakure will change from this point on..."
At Nagato's loud shout, the Rain Ninja, wearing gas masks, all looked horrified.
After confirming that Hanzo had collapsed and was dead, and then glancing at the summoned beasts eyeing them menacingly, the Rain Ninja swallowed hard and put down their weapons.
"Lord Nagato, we are willing to follow you and witness the future..."
"We are willing to elect you as the new leader of Amegakure, a true god who surpasses even demigods!"
"I entrust Amegakure to you, Lord Nagato, Lord Yahiko, and Lord Konan."
