Chapter 209: It's Time to End This
Tendou Pain's trajectory as he was knocked flying resembled a parabola.
After being punched by Yui Gengetsu and sent soaring into the air, reaching a critical point, he suddenly began to descend, skidding along the ground and creating several deep pits before rolling several more times and finally coming to a stop.
Even so, Yui Gengetsu sensed that Tendou Pain was still capable of moving.
"Pretty tough, huh."
Without giving his opponent a chance to catch their breath, Yui Gengetsu moved swiftly, closing in on them.
Tendou Pain, their Akatsuki robe now tattered and the chakra receivers on their body damaged, quickly scrambled to their feet.
If not for the fact that the five Pain bodies had been destroyed, and the dispersed power had all gathered in this one, the punch from Yui Gengetsu earlier would have ended it just like the others.
"To be so strong!"
Shocked, Tendou Pain knelt on the ground, pressing their hands together. As a massive amount of chakra was channeled, a black ball, far more potent than any previous attempt, was condensed in their palm, formed by highly concentrated chakra.
As the black ball rose swiftly into the sky.
Tendou Pain shouted at the rapidly approaching Yui Gengetsu:
" Planetary Devastation!"
In an instant, a terrifying suction force erupted from the black ball.
Crack! Crack!
The flowers, grass, and trees on the ground were uprooted, along with various debris and stones, all pulled first toward the surface of the black ball.
Then, as the earth groaned under the strain, large chunks of earth rose, speeding toward the black ball to cover it.
Soon, layer upon layer of rock enveloped the ball.
What was originally no larger than a ping-pong ball had, in a short time, become comparable in size to an ordinary room.
Even so, the suction force from above not only didn't stop but grew stronger.
Unlike the Planetary Devastation that Tendou Pain used when in a weakened state after using the Super Shinra Tensei, as seen in the original story, the power of this jutsu was far greater as Tendou Pain still had plenty of strength left.
Even Yui Gengetsu had to stop in his tracks and exert force to maintain his position to avoid being sucked up and becoming a part of the layered mess.
However, not long after, the ground beneath Yui Gengetsu's feet finally gave way under the dual pressure of the suction force above and his own force below, cracking and shattering into countless pieces that were pulled into the Planetary Devastation.
Yui Gengetsu was now suspended in mid-air.
Unable to stand firm like Superman and hold up an airplane, he could only follow the upward pull.
Seeing this, Tendou Pain let out a vicious shout.
With more chakra injected, the Planetary Devastation aimed at Yui Gengetsu, exploding with an even stronger suction force.
Yui Gengetsu was quickly sucked toward the surface of the Planetary Devastation.
Then, layer upon layer of rocks wrapped around him, sealing him inside without leaving any gaps.
"It's over."
Pain's raised hands fell powerlessly.
At the same time, far away, Nagato coughed violently, covering his mouth with both hands.
Noticing the blood seeping through Nagato's fingers, Konan anxiously stepped forward to support him. This was the first time she had seen Nagato expend so much energy against a single opponent.
"Cough, it's nothing. Although Yui Gengetsu's strength far exceeded my expectations, he is still human. Humans... cough, they are no match for my immortal body!" Nagato said, his face twisting at the end.
As he finished speaking, Tendou Pain suddenly raised his head. A dazzling white light burst from within the Planetary Devastation, permeating outward and illuminating the surroundings.
"Shinra Tensei!"
However, before he could finish, the faster Yui Gengetsu appeared before him, his black rod piercing through Tendou Pain's hands.
The hands Tendou Pain had just brought together were penetrated, causing his chakra to go haywire, and the Shinra Tensei he was about to release suddenly halted.
Taking advantage of this gap, Yui Gengetsu spread his hands, and black rods shot out one after the other, aiming for the spots on Tendou Pain's body where the black rods were located. He knocked out all the rods within Tendou Pain's body and replaced them with his own.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
One by one, the black rods were dislodged from Tendou Pain's body.
Tendou Pain's eyes, which had held a glimmer of spirit, quickly dimmed and lost their luster.
Soon...
With a soft 'plop,' Tendou Pain fell to the ground, motionless, once again becoming a lifeless corpse.
After personally experiencing a weakened version of the sealing technique used on his ancestor, Yui Gengetsu picked up one of the black rods belonging to Tendou Pain from the ground and inserted it into his own arm.
In Sage Mode, he clearly sensed the flow of chakra within the black rod and soon located the source of this chakra.
"It's time to end this."
With that, Yui Gengetsu moved, setting off once more.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
About ten kilometers away from the battlefield, inside a disguised tree, Nagato could no longer hold back. More violent coughs erupted from his mouth, and streaks of bright red blood stained his bedding like plum blossoms.
"Nagato! What's wrong?"
Konan quickly fetched some medicine and gave it to Nagato.
But Nagato seemed oblivious, his eyes dull as he murmured, "Pain... has lost!"
Ever since he had completely mastered the power of the Rinnegan, even the teachings of "Uchiha Madara" no longer held as much sway over him, and his wariness towards Madara had diminished considerably.
As for the ninja world, he didn't believe there was anyone who could be his match.
This was the foundation of his confidence as he implemented the Bijuu capture plan, created the most powerful Bijuu weapon, and sought to conquer the entire ninja world with his own power, bringing about peace.
But today, all his reliance and pride had been utterly shattered.
Yui Gengetsu!
That man, who had once been renowned alongside Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, and who had now returned from the underworld, possessed unfathomable strength! Even the Rinnegan, the eye of the Sage, was no match for him.
Looking back now, throughout their entire encounter, Yui Gengetsu had only used a few jutsu, yet Nagato had been hard-pressed to keep up, responding frantically until he was ultimately defeated with ease.
With such power, how could he not be comparable to the legendary Sage of the Six Paths?
Nagato's face was ashen.
With the existence of someone like Yui Gengetsu, there was no hope for the success of his meticulously laid plans.
"Nagato, let's retreat for now," Konan said, shocked by the news of Nagato's defeat but aware that there were more pressing matters at hand.
"There's no time," Nagato sighed deeply. "Konan, you go. Find a quiet place and live out your life in peace, carrying the memories of me and Yahiko with you."
