Chapter 68 - 66) Serious Injuries

Block E — Asura Path

" Fighting you alone is meaningless, and instead it would consume my chakra and time. Let's head to the main battlefield. " Just when Itachi, after sealing the previous path, arrived in Block E, he found Asura Path sitting on the top of the highest building unguarded. When he heard his words, Itachi didn't say anything and just patted his back.

Contract Seal

Central Block — Deva Path

Shinra Tensei

The moment Itachi appeared in the central block, he was instantly smashed into the nearest building, breaking it, and then continuously smashed through the next three buildings. Fortunately, at the last moment, he covered himself with cement armour, reducing the impact.

" Too ruthless. " After saying this, Itachi got up, stretching his hands and feet. Although the ninjas of the ninja world are famous for being glass cannons compared to other anime worlds, with the increase of strength, the toughness of the glass also increases. By now, Itachi could be confident that he wouldn't die even after colliding with Fireball Jutsu, though he still might be injured.

Cement Style : Ten Building Collapse

Itachi, seeing Nagato fall to such an extent of sneak attack, didn't think about martial ethics, and the next moment, the six buildings surrounding Deva Path collapsed into huge pieces, each the size of a house, smashing towards Deva Path standing on the empty street.

Shinra Tensei

The next moment all the huge pieces were shattered into pieces by the immense repulsion force flying away from Nagato.

" Do you really think this is so easy? " The next moment, all the now small broken building pieces suddenly sharpened into knives and rushed towards Deva Path.

Itachi knew that Shinra Tensei of Nagato had the flaw of a five-second cooldown. Now, because of the sealing jutsu, Nagato couldn't fly easily, and he couldn't use Shinra Tensei, which meant he had to take damage, as the scope of this attack was too large, so even if Nagato ran with all his might, he would definitely be injured.

Earth Style : Earth Flow Wall

The next moment, an earth wall rose, covering Deva Path on all sides and successfully blocking all the cement knives. Itachi, seeing this, became stunned and then realized his foolishness.

In the original anime, Nagato mastered all five nature transformations before the age of ten, but he didn't use them in his battle against Naruto and other important fights. Itachi, seeing this, for a moment forgot that Nagato didn't use ninjutsu not because he couldn't use it, but because it was not as efficient as his Six Paths of Pain.

Universal Pull

Just then, Itachi felt an immense pulling force, and then he smashed into building after building, and finally his neck was in Nagato's hands.

" Uchiha Itachi, it seems that Madara has sold all my information to you. Though, ultimately, the gap between us is too huge. " The next moment, Nagato conjured a black stick, striking towards Itachi's hands to pierce them. Itachi, seeing this, quickly got out of his daze from smashing multiple buildings and used Flying Thunder God to escape.

Seeing Itachi escape so easily, Nagato once again felt the terror of facing space-time jutsu. But this time, I am not the same. By now, Nagato had already understood Itachi's space-time jutsu, which is teleportation, which is broken, but not as much as Madara's Mangekyo Ability.

Shinra Tensei

The next moment, a building collapsed, and its broken pieces flew towards the newly arrived Itachi as razor-sharp bullets. Itachi, seeing this, felt a sense of déjà vu. Although the tactic is good, it is not suitable for me.

Cement Style : Cement Body Technique

The next moment, Itachi turned into liquid cement and merged with the ground below. Deva Path, seeing this, once again tried to locate Itachi, but unfortunately, he didn't find him.

Chidori Style : Chidori Bat

The next moment, Itachi arrived behind Deva Path, smashing him towards the following building.

Chidori Style : Chidori Senbon

Cement Style : Devil's Lair

The next moment, Itachi spurted out multiple needle-shaped lightning attacks towards Deva Path, and the building which Deva Path was about to hit suddenly was filled with sharp cones, ready to turn anyone who dared to hit it into a hedgehog.

Deva Path also saw the two-faced attack, and his Shinra Tensei was still on cooldown. Then, the next moment, it controlled the attraction and repulsion force and flew into the sky with difficulty escaping from the disaster.

Universal Pull

Deva Path, seeing Itachi wanting to continue the attack, quickly landed on the seventh floor and then used Universal Pull on the building behind Itachi, which quickly broke into two, with the upper part falling directly on Itachi.

" It's useless. In this city, I am invincible. "

Seeing Itachi's fearless expression, Deva Path knew this was the truth, so it started flying higher into the air little by little. Itachi, seeing this, immediately understood what Nagato wanted to do, but he didn't interfere.

Outside the Battlefield

" Hey Kakuzu, you said you fought the First Hokage, right? Then can you defeat my brother? " In the past few minutes, Kakuzu had already bragged about his achievements of fighting the First Hokage, and Shisui and Sasuke were already impressed by Kakuzu, so Sasuke asked with curiosity.

" Hmm, if Itachi tried his best, then no one would die. " Kakuzu said in an emotionless tone, though there was a slight tremor in his voice.

As for why, it was because it was the first time he had seen such a huge scale of battle. Although he fought Senju Hashirama, he was quickly defeated, and Hashirama didn't use Ten Thousand Hands or Wood Human Technique, which were comparable to Complete Susanoo. Now, seeing Itachi and Nagato smashing each other with hundred-meter-tall buildings at each turn and still not getting damaged, of course he would be shocked.

Sasuke, on the other hand, thought that Itachi had to give his all to tie with Kakuzu and not dying, which immediately impressed him even more. As for Kakuzu deceiving his boss's little brother, well, Kakuzu said if Itachi tried his best to hold back, no one would die.

Konan, on the other hand, looked in Deva Path's direction with concern, as she knew the burden of using that jutsu on Nagato.

Battlefield

Super Shinra Tensei

BOOMMMMM !!!!!!!!

The next moment, the building below Deva Path, as if made of origami paper, was flattened within seconds. Then, like a river made of stones, it smashed into nearby buildings, breaking them, and then rushed forward in all directions. Within seconds, the entire city was destroyed, and now the entire area looked like a stadium with empty space inside and a wall made of debris outside.

Fake Planetary Devastation

The next moment, Itachi appeared at the edge of the wasteland and started forming seals. Seeing Itachi's seals, although not knowing the jutsu, but seeing their complexity, Nagato knew that this was definitely Itachi's trump card.

The moment Itachi completed his seals, the cement pieces piled up at the edge of the battlefield, whether large or small, started rapidly moving towards Nagato. Although Pain tried to use Shinra Tensei, due to just using such a high-consumption jutsu, he couldn't do much. The next moment, a huge sphere with a radius of around 100 meters, with Nagato at the center, appeared.

Flying Thunder God

Super Shinra Tensei

Evil God Seal

BOOMMM!!!!!!!

The moment Itachi appeared in front of the cement sphere and was about to use sealing jutsu to complete his Fake Planetary Devastation, suddenly the cement sphere exploded. Itachi, who was midway busy in Fūinjutsu, couldn't react, and the next moment multiple cement pieces, at speeds exceeding bullets, pierced through his body, leaving multiple holes in it.

Itachi, feeling the pain and life draining from his body, looked downwards and found a hole the size of a fist near his chest, bleeding heavily. Just then, he sensed immense chakra fluctuations. Looking towards the source, Itachi found Deva Path holding a black ball between his palms.

" It was a nice fight, Uchiha Itachi.

As the reward for entertaining me I will show you the real Planetary Devastation. This is the real Planetary Devastation. "

The next moment, Deva Path pushed the black ball towards Itachi.

Outside the Battlefield

" Big brother !!!! " Sasuke, who thought everything was under his big brother's control, suddenly became confused by the sudden turn of events. First, Deva Path used a super-power ninjutsu to destroy Itachi's ninjutsu, but Itachi then gained the advantage by sealing Nagato within a huge concrete sphere. Then suddenly, the sphere exploded, and now Itachi was heavily injured, but Pain was not stopping.

Instant Body Technique

Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets

The next moment, Shisui transformed into multiple illusory clones moving towards the battlefield, but unexpectedly, Sasori reacted first, summoning hundred puppets and surrounded all the Shisui clones and attacked them at once.

Mirror Clone : Fire Style : Great Fire Annihilation

Summoning Jutsu : Triple Rashōmon

While Shisui was occupied by Sasori, Mirror Shisui was intercepted by Orochimaru.

" Orochimaru, do you really want to stop me? "

" Hehehe, Shisui-kun, I have long wanted to have a pleasant conversation with you....."

Water Style : Exploding Water Colliding Wave

Water Style : Water Wave

" Kisame, you traitor, why are you attacking me? Do you really think you can escape after betraying Akatsuki? " Biwa Juzo, who was suddenly attacked, asked with fury.

While Kisame was having his time with his senpai, Kakuzu blocked Konan, who was about to intercept the still standing Obito.

" Just as Pain had expected, you have defected to the Uchiha clan. Since you have betrayed Akatsuki, then there is no need for you to live. "

Paper Drizzle

Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work

Obito, seeing everyone having a partner, once again felt the loneliness of this world. Just then, he noticed Sasuke running towards Itachi as if to rescue him.

" Hmm, let's take care of this brat. " With that, Obito Slacking Uchiha, followed Sasuke quietly.
