Chapter 57.4- Gamer of the Desert

He turned to the floating dense ball and began to gather his chakra for one massive jutsu. “Attack that ball. That’s the only way to disable the jutsu” He said to the others before he spread both his hands front of him. It was time to show off another one of his unique techniques. The first step, rotation. It was built on the same blocks as a different technique. The one that was part of Minato Namikaze’s fame. Next came power. This jutsu was greedy. Far greedier than the Rasenshuriken that he used almost casually here. This jutsu was enough to take out all of the Senjutsu chakra he had in his body in one go. After flooding the technique with power, he moved for containment. This jutsu was not going to be a sphere, but the tip of a drill. The idea was for it to be similar in shape to the conical tailed beast bombs that the ten tails had favoured.

And then he went for the coup de grace. He flooded the jutsu with both wind and fire release at the perfect 7:3 ratio that created scorch release. He hadn’t spent his time with the sealing corps just teaching them. He’d made sure to be on the lookout for a very specific woman who had been able to give him enough guidance to perfect the elemental release that made her sensei famous. With all that, he held the jutsu in front of him with nothing but his chakra.

“Sage Art: Dragon Meteor” He proclaimed, and fired the technique right at the hyper dense ball. He noted that the others had pretty much ignored his instructions and were doing their best to fight against Nagato even while the planetary devastation wreaked havoc around them and drew them into its grasp. Thankfully, his technique had been enough. More than enough in fact. It slammed into the first layer of stone that had built around the black hole and burrowed inwards before reaching the core of the technique and then exploding.

The explosion was beautiful. It felt like the sky itself was on fire. Fire of so many colours. Green, blue, red, orange, shades swam above them in a dance. He smiled at the sight. He’d never seen the jutsu do that in particular but he’d also never unleashed it with that much chakra before. Speaking of chakra, he felt his body collapse to its knees, feeling a strange lethargy from the lack of senjutsu chakra.

Shukaku did his job shortly after and had him standing again, but it was an interesting weakness of his seal he noted. Once he ran out of Senjutsu, he was pretty tapped out. He returned to looking at the fight between Nagato and the Four Konoha Shinobi, and now that the planetary devastation had been destroyed, they were having a much easier time or cornering the man and forcing him to do drastic things to cope with their numbers.

He never got the chance of using his more esoteric abilities as whenever he stayed still for even longer than a second, one of them would be upon him. And then whenever he tried to isolate one to deal with them, the others would intervene. I did not envy Nagato’s position. I also recognised that I could find myself in his place sooner rather than later. Especially when they finally finished with him.

Orochimaru’s snakes shot from his sleeves at supersonic speeds and wrapped around Nagato’s arms. Two other hands formed from the forearms of his existing arms and cut the snakes dead before they could bite. In that time, both Jiraiya and Tsunade had closed the distance from opposite ends, both punching at his head from either side. Their fists stopped in midair. They struggled against the gravitational block, but were quickly sent flying by the almighty push. A move that left him vulnerable to Might Gai. The man appeared like a shadow from the ether, and kicked Nagato in the chin, sending him flying. I resisted the urge to pronounce, ‘sweet chin music’.

While he was in the air, Gai punched against the air multiple times. Nagato raised his hands almost by instinct, trying to absorb the ninjutsu he thought was coming his way. Unfortunately for him, Might Gai was not a ninjutsu kind of guy. The fireballs made of pure friction slammed into Nagato and sent him flying back into the ground. I body flickered right next to him as I noticed his wounds were possibly fatal. He lifted a hand to attack me, but I crushed it in my grip.

With that hand still in my grip, I punched him in the face. Once. Twice. The others surrounded the both of us. I would not be allowing them interfere. This time, I felt the chain before it got anywhere close to me, and dark sister moved to clash against the indestructible kekkei genkai of my mother’s clan. The chain flew back at her. Before she could do anything else, I absently blew a breath in her direction. I amplified it with wind release to turn it into massive wind bullet that would have atomised her.

Against all odds, Nagato managed to lift his other hand. It wasn’t aimed at me, so I allowed him use the almighty push to dispel the attack aimed at Karin. So that’s your weakness, huh? The one thing you care about. Fool. I pronounced before pulling him towards me and smashing a headbutt into his head. And then I let go of his hand before grabbing his head in both hands. I strained and heaved with all my strength. He screamed under my ministrations, but sooner than I’d expected, I began to feel give. With a sickening squelch, Nagato’s neck broke. And with another louder one, I separated his head from his body.

A head that went into my inventory immediately. The rinnegan was mine. As for the body, I pointed two fingers at it and immolated it in seconds. It all happened two quickly for those who surrounded me to interfere.

I turned to them with a smile on my face.

“Are we doing this or not?” I asked.

Jiraiya was the first to move.

A/N; How’s it?
