Seeing Yahiko rush forward, Nagato and Konan quickly prepared to act.
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Technique!"
A raging fire spewed out from Nagato's mouth, and a ferocious fire dragon soared over Yahiko, rushing toward Simu.
Konan extended her hands.
A large number of pieces of paper emerged from her clothes, forming a pair of wings behind her.
She flapped her wings, and in an instant, she flew high into the sky.
Erwei was about to engage, but Simu stopped her.
"You don't need to do this."
He waved the mace in his hand, expressionless.
With a single swing, he knocked the fire dragon away with ease.
Yahiko's figure emerged from the scattered flames.
"It worked."
He thought he had successfully confused Simu, and puffed out his cheeks in satisfaction.
A high-speed stream of water shot out from his mouth.
It acted like a sharp cutting blade, aiming directly for Simu's stomach.
Even though he was an enemy, Yahiko still didn't target Simu's vital points.
Simu shook his head slightly.
This attitude on the battlefield is a sure way to die.
His palms were covered in the steely black of Armament Haki.
The incoming stream of water struck his palm, only to be scattered into droplets.
"How is this possible? You stopped my ninjutsu with just your palm?!"
Yahiko said in disbelief.
After so many years of training, he had surpassed the strength of an average Jōnin.
For ordinary ninjas, he was already a genius.
But this level of strength was still insufficient in front of Simu.
The threat Yahiko posed was less than one-fiftieth of Hanzo's.
"Yahiko, be careful. His physique is different from ordinary people's," Nagato reminded.
Seeing that his Water Style ninjutsu had no effect, Yahiko stomped the ground.
A kunai appeared in his hand, and he slashed at Simu.
Simu didn't move or dodge. He simply spread two fingers and caught the kunai that was aimed at him.
"If this is all the strength you have, you're still far from being able to protect the Land of Rain."
Simu mercilessly criticized the 'senior brother' before him.
"Damn it!"
Yahiko unwillingly threw another punch.
Simu had already predicted this, and he swiftly kicked Yahiko in the abdomen.
Yahiko grunted in pain and was sent flying by the force.
The moment Yahiko was kicked, dense pieces of paper fell from the sky.
These seemingly ordinary pieces of paper were probably powerful enough to cut through steel!
Simu swung his mace high into the air.
The powerful Armament Haki surged from the mace, creating an air column that destroyed all the falling pieces of paper.
From a distance, Nagato pressed his hands to the ground.
"Earth Style: Doton Technique!"
Giant hands of rock erupted from the earth beneath Simu's feet.
But Simu destroyed them with a single swing of his mace.
Under the cover of Konan and Nagato, Yahiko managed to get back on his feet.
Bright red blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
"Dammit..."
"Yahiko, I'll cover you."
After Nagato spoke, he immediately spat out a massive fireball.
Then he exhaled another stream of air.
The flames intensified with the addition of Wind Style ninjutsu.
It was a combined ninjutsu.
Simu's eyes flashed brightly.
Facing such an offense, he swung his stick again.
This time, the Haki surrounding the stick had been enhanced significantly.
"Boom!"
The massive fireball was like a balloon.
It was large, but it burst upon contact.
The flames collapsed immediately.
Two arms shot out from the ground.
It was Nagato!
And Yahiko hid behind the fireball, holding a kunai as he lunged at Simu!
"Ah..."
Simu sneered, his body swelling with power.
The kunai, aimed at his shoulder, only managed to strike his thigh.
A spark flew upon collision with the hard dragon scale there.
"What is this?"
Yahiko was stunned.
At this time, the Akatsuki organization had not yet incorporated White Zetsu.
An intelligence system covering the entire ninja world had never been established.
Therefore, their understanding of Simu was still limited to the fact that he was the only light-escape ninja in the ninja world.
Even Nagato looked puzzled.
Because Simu didn't seem to have any Chakra flowing through him when he transformed.
"If you only have this little strength..."
The force Simu exerted with his feet suddenly increased.
The ground shattered instantly under this pressure, revealing Nagato hidden beneath.
Of course, it was just a doppelganger.
Simu, with Observation Haki, could easily sense the difference between the body and the clone.
The huge pressure from the surrounding rocks forced Nagato's underground clone to burst.
Yahiko felt something was wrong and tried to distance himself.
Simu turned into a flash and appeared in front of him.
"Have you ever been struck by light?"
"Yahiko!"
Konan quickly fell from the sky, intending to help.
But Simu was faster.
The thick mace, wrapped in Thunder, fell onto Yahiko's body.
"Senjutsu: Thunder Eight Trigrams!"
The dazzling lightning instantly paralyzed Yahiko's body.
The massive impact sent Yahiko flying.
Simu raised his head and found himself surrounded by countless pieces of white paper.
A black incantation suddenly appeared on the surface of the white paper.
This was not just ordinary paper, but detonating symbols, one by one!
Had Konan already resorted to using detonators?
The detonators ignited rapidly.
They eventually engulfed Simu in a violent explosion.
Having done all this, Konan flapped her wings and rushed toward Yahiko.
"Be careful, he hasn't been dealt with yet!" Nagato shouted anxiously.
Sure enough, a flash of light appeared from the smoke of the explosion.
A thick arm shot toward Konan, grabbing her and pulling her back.
Simu grabbed Konan's ankle tightly and slammed her into the ground.
A huge rock fell from the sky.
Simu didn't even think about it—he punched it, smashing it to pieces.
Nagato leapt out from the rock and landed in front of Simu.
"Lightning Style: Thunderbolt!"
A strong flash of lightning burst from his body.
Countless arcs wrapped around Simu's body.
Taking advantage of Simu's paralysis, Nagato reached out and pulled Konan, ready to take her away from the battlefield.
However, how could this level of Lightning Style have much impact on Simu, who had mastered the power of thunder?
"Nagato, you underestimate me."
Simu raised his hand, and the Ridao laser pierced Konan's shoulder with intense heat.
Beads of blood from his companion floated in Nagato's eyes.
Yahiko struggled to get up in the distance.
But the end was similar to Konan's.
The moment he stood up, the laser light released by Simu pierced through his abdomen.
Yahiko fell limply to the ground.
As he looked at the world gradually blurring in front of him, endless regret filled his heart…
It turns out that one's strength is so insignificant in front of the real strong.
It turned out that everything he fought to protect could be easily destroyed by others.
With his own strength, let alone creating a peaceful world, he couldn't even protect himself…
With such powerless thoughts, he slowly closed his eyes.
As for Nagato…
Konan's blood dripped down his face.
The gentle feeling crazily stimulated his brain and heart.
He was different from Yahiko.
The latter wanted to build a world where everyone could understand each other because of the tragic voice of his childhood.
But Nagato just wanted to protect the people around him.
However, the very thing he cherished was destroyed by someone else's hands right in front of him.
Holding a mace in hand, Simu said calmly:
"Nagato, if you don't use the power of your eyes, I'm afraid you won't be my match."
Less than a second after he finished speaking, a powerful momentum erupted from Nagato.
From who knows how far away, an old man with white hair opened his scarlet eyes.
The huge statue behind him suddenly turned into white smoke and disappeared.
Seeing this, a teenager immediately jumped up and shouted in panic:
"The statue behind you is gone!"
This boy was none other than Simu's missing student for months, Uchiha Obito!
And the old man was Uchiha Madara.
Listening to the croaking voice, Madara closed his eyes again.
"I'm just old, not blind."
"Oh," Obito muttered, curling his lips.
He was very curious about this old man who called himself Uchiha Madara.
But he didn't seem to have any way to verify his identity.
However, it should be someone from the Uchiha clan, given that he had Sharingan and such powerful pupil techniques.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and thought curiously:
"I wonder if Rin and Kakashi miss me, and that mischievous teacher..."
On the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain.
A white column of smoke enveloped Nagato.
Simu narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly:
"Everyone, step back."
Hearing Simu's reminder, all Konoha Shinobi retreated to the rear in a hurry.
Even the three tailed beasts felt a terrifying aura.
Perhaps it should be called a natural fear instinct.
They couldn't help but take a few steps back.
A gray hand tore open the smoke, revealing its huge body.
The gray-white body had nine eyes on its face, but they were all closed.
Behind the massive body were ten thick tails like branches.
But there was only a short section, as if it had been cut off by someone.
Nagato's body extended countless black pillars, connecting to the monster from Summoning.
"Is this... the Ten Tails?" The expressions of the three tailed beasts changed wildly as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
As the body of the Ten Tails, the Gedo Statue naturally carried the aura of the Ten Tails.
Therefore, the three tailed beasts instantly recognized it.
Nagato gasped.
His purple Rinnegan zoomed in rapidly, and the Chakra on his body was being drawn crazily by the Gedo Statue.
Even with the Uzumaki clan's strong physique, it was difficult to bear such large consumption for long.
However, for his partner's sake, Nagato thought:
"I must do it!"
