Chapter 3: Chapter 3 - Summoning the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path

After seeing Yahiko's death, Hanzo no longer cared about them. He released Konan from his grip.

"Kill them both! I should at least fulfill my promise and not kill them myself." After Hanzo ordered his men, they shot numerous kunai towards both Nagato and Konan.

Konan hurriedly escaped them and ran towards Nagato, who seems in a trance muttering something.

"If the war in this world cannot be over, then let me be the god of the world and end it myself. I will lead the world to peace just like you envisioned, Yahiko!" Nagato muttered, remembering the past. This was what Yahiko told him when they were children.

Nagato ignored numerous kunai flying in his direction. The hesitation and timidness in his eyes were long gone, replaced by cold and firm eyes. Yahiko's death hit him hard, causing him to change his personality. The rinnegan that was flickering intensely stopped doing it and what was replaced in it was bone-chilling indifference.

Nagato waved his hands, and a strange repulsion blocked the incoming kunai. All of them ninjas present were stunned, seeing the strange sight in front of them.

"That kunai bounced off!."

"How did he do that!?"

All the ninjas present were shocked seeing this. They didn't feel a trace of energy when Nagato waved his hands.

But without giving them any chance to react, Nagato leaped forward and came to Hanzo in an instant, pulling them out of the trance.

Hanzo frowned and looked at Nagato, who rushed at him. When Akatsuki's leader, Yahiko, died, the red-haired kid didn't run away from here, which surprised him. He thought the boy was a spineless guy without any courage to face him. But, the cautious Hanzo already maintained his fighting position in case this brat does something unexpected.

Hanzo jumped back with one hand on the ground. The surface of the muddy ground turned into countless sheets of paper that surrounded both Nagato and Konan. They weren't those regular papers; they were inscribed with special writing in kanji, called Explosive tag or Paper bomb.

Nagato didn't have a trace of panic in his eyes, looking at their worsening situation, making people feel an ominous hunch.

*BOOOOOM!*

Suddenly, those paper bombs exploded, simultaneously creating a massive explosion surrounding both Nagato and Konan. Thick dust is scattered everywhere in the surrounding affecting the vision of every ninja present.

"Finally resolved!" Looking at the explosion site, Hanzo smiled with satisfaction, but his smile strained when the dust settled down.

Nagato was standing unharmed, protecting Konan. His face was cold and expressionless.

"Nagato!" Konan looked at him worriedly, seeing the situation. She didn't want to be a burden to him.

"Konan!! You leave this place and stay near Yahiko's body. I don't want my fight with Hanzo to affect Yahiko's dead body." Nagato pushed Konan gently toward Yahiko's direction. Just now, Nagato used the same strange repulsion to keep both of them safe in the explosion. The current Nagato didn't look timid as before. He had a leadership temperament, which made Konan subconsciously follow his words and run towards Yahiko's body. She didn't want anyone to damage Yahiko's body after his death.

The ongoing rain quickly extinguished the nearby flames. Nagato stood barefoot in the rain with murderous eyes staring at Hanzo, giving him a chill in the cold rain.

"Nice job, kid! I'm surprised you can escape unscathed after being hit by such an explosion." Hanzo walked toward Nagato's direction. Looking at his unharmed clothes, Hanzo couldn't help admiring Nagato.

Seeing such admiring eyes of the hateful fellow who forced Yahiko to death, the murderous intension in Nagato's heart intensified. The depth of his rinnegan eyes gave Hanzo a chilling gaze.

"Uh! You are not an ordinary kid! Wait a sec, those eyes..." Looking at those indifferent eyes, Hanzo felt an ominous hunch. Seeing those purple spiral eyes, Hanzo remembered something he read in a top-secret document.

"Kill him!" Unlike the ninja who wears gas masks in the hidden rain village, the ninja, who wore animal masks, roared and rushed toward Nagato. They were Danzo's men who came here to assist Hanzo in eliminating Akatsuki. And, the condition of their cooperation was Nagato's eyes.

"Summoning Jutsu: Gedo Mazo!" Looking at the incoming ninjas, Nagato roared angrily with one hand on the ground started summoning the demon statue of the outer path or simply Gedo Mazo.

*Bump!* *Bump!* *Bump!*

Along with Nagato's roar, a huge brown palm stretched out of the ground and fiercely slammed on many incoming ninjas crushing their bodies.

Two huge palms split the ground resulting in constant shaking as if a fierce beast that has been suppressed for thousands of years has just awakened.

"What's this!?" Looking at the huge inhumane figure above her head, Konan trembled in fear. The other present also felt fear from their soul's depth, looking at the huge monster summoned by Nagato.

*ROOOOOAR!*

All the present ninjas witnessed the power of rinnegan for the first time, which made all of them fearful.

The Demonic Statue was a giant, earthen-colored humanoid entity with a mummified appearance, a body shaped similar to a robe, and several spike-like protrusions on its back. The statue was wearing a blindfold that completely covered its eyes. It looked like there was something shocking mystery hidden in those eyes. Shackles bound the statue's wrists and ankles, and it bit down on a scroll, which is held in place by two ropes extending from beneath its blindfold on either side of its head.

"What is this!!" When the husk of ten-tails appeared in front of these ninjas in full-view, they all stepped back in fear. The statue revealed a decadent and prehistoric atmosphere, which made all of them felt the breath of death.

"Nagato!! No, you can't use this technique!" Among all the present, only Konan knew what this was. Nagato talked about it with her and Yahiko in their free time. And she knew what the consequence of using this technique was from Nagato himself. She didn't want another one of her friends to die as well. Fresh tears started leaking out from her eyes, seeing Nagato's skinny body.
