Chapter 508: Planetary Devastation
Jiraiya looked at Ino, as if to say, I'm not good with words. You have to refute him.
Ino shook her head gently. He was talking about the Sage of Six Paths' past; it was really hard for her to argue with that.
She could only change the subject. "How do you know your ideas are right? Are you sure they are your own ideas and not something forced upon you by some power? I've heard some stories about Yahiko from Konan-san. What you're doing now is completely different from Yahiko's ideals."
Nagato's expression was pained. "I have indeed been defeated today, but I was defeated by my body. My life is coming to an end, but my spirit will live on. As beneficiaries of the current system, you ignore the demands of all the people at the bottom, vainly hoping to pass down your power from generation to generation. One day, someone will come to overthrow your system."
Ino snorted. This person was quite interesting. You talk to him about conspiracies, he talks to you about the system. You talk to him about the system, he talks to you about his mission.
"You dare to talk about the system? A system that allows the majority of people to live in peace is a good system. And you? You turn the Tailed Beasts into weapons. Whoever starts a war, you use this weapon to attack them? Can peace be achieved through terror? Everyone lives in fear, not knowing when disaster will strike. Is that really happiness?"
Ino pointed at him. "Idiot! After all this, you still don't get it? You've been used, and you don't even know it. Face reality. Do you think you could have awakened the Rinnegan with just that little bit of Uzumaki clan blood in you? Do you know that the foundation of the Rinnegan is the Uchiha clan's Sharingan? Do you think you have any blood relation to the Uchiha clan? So many Uchiha couldn't awaken the Rinnegan, why could you?"
Ino took out a black rod. "To create this thing out of thin air, you first need to shape it with Yin Release chakra, then fill its internal structure with earth-style chakra, connect it with wind-style chakra, and finally give it a physical form with Yang Release chakra. Are you sure you understand the process and principles behind it?"
She crushed the black rod, and then, with some effort, used the residue to barely form a new, somewhat shoddy-looking black rod.
Nagato's expression was blank. "What are you trying to say? Your dedication to research is admirable. I don't have time to study those processes. I was born with the ability to create black rods, and I don't need to understand the process."
Ino retorted, "So this is the reason you think you are a god, that you can change everything? Because you were born extraordinary, you have to do something extraordinary, is that it?"
Nagato's face darkened slightly. Although he didn't say anything, that was probably what he thought.
Ino continued, "I can barely create black rods now. Does that mean I'm a god too? If I gouge out your Rinnegan and put it in my eye sockets, does that mean I can also go and do something great? Because I'm a god now!"
She deliberately emphasized the words "something great." Nagato was instantly enraged. "Arrogant!"
The other five Paths of Pain, aside from Tendo, appeared on the scene at the same time. The handsome Human Path clasped his hands together, while the Animal and Naraka Paths quickly formed hand seals.
When the Human Path opened his hands, a highly condensed sphere of dense matter flew out from his palms.
The sphere slowly rose into the air, and as it rotated, it projected a massive gravitational force. The ceiling of the cave was ripped off, and numerous rocks, trees, and plants from the forest flew into the sky. With the highly condensed sphere as its core, a massive rock sphere over a hundred meters in diameter was formed in a very short time, formed from the large amount of attracted debris. The mass of the sphere continued to increase, and the speed at which the surrounding matter was attracted also began to accelerate.
"Planetary Devastation!"
Nagato had activated the final ability of the Rinnegan.
The new Asura, Preta, and Naraka Paths collapsed to the ground one after another. This time, the chakra drain was even greater than the Super Almighty Push. The black rods on the three Paths' bodies shattered one by one, and then even the Human and Animal Paths completely lost control, their black rods shattering as they all collapsed, becoming five lifeless corpses.
Ino and Jiraiya were both pulled toward the sky by the gravity of the Planetary Devastation.
Ino smiled. If Nagato had used any other move, she really wouldn't have had a good way to deal with it. Against Universal Pull and Almighty Push, she could only brace herself. But Planetary Devastation was different. Teacher Six Paths had mastered this move to an artistic degree. As his direct disciple, she was very familiar with it.
"Hey, you red-haired fool, let me show you what knowledge is!" Ino threw a Flying Thunder God kunai in mid-air and then teleported to Jiraiya's side.
"Give me your hand."
"Huh?" Jiraiya was a bit confused but still obediently extended his left hand.
"Your right hand."
"Oh, oh..."
Ino wrote a black character for "Release" with a white border on Jiraiya's right palm and a white character for "Release" with a black border on her own left palm.
Following her command, the two acted at the same time, one using Yang Release and the other using Yin Release. When their palms touched the Planetary Devastation, the sphere, which had been formed by ocular power, instantly disintegrated.
"Impossible?! Absolutely impossible!" Nagato saw it clearly, but it was because he saw it clearly that he found it so incredible.
His strongest ultimate technique had been dispelled so easily?
Ino landed on the ground, still explaining to Jiraiya. "Actually, this move isn't hard to break. He used it too crudely. Everything is inseparable from the path of Yin and Yang and the five elements. His ocular power is also within this scope. If it can be formed, it can naturally be dispelled."
His ultimate technique had been dismissed as worthless. Nagato was so angry he spat out a large mouthful of dark red blood.
Ino said smugly, "See? You are not a god. This move is nothing special. As long as you know the method, anyone can break it."
She was completely bluffing. If you didn't have a profound understanding of Yin and Yang Release, didn't have all seven chakra natures, and didn't have a renowned teacher like the Sage of Six Paths, an ordinary ninja could study for a hundred years and still not be able to break Planetary Devastation.
Nagato didn't think that far ahead. Like Sasuke, his self-confidence had suffered a severe blow.
Sasuke had gotten used to being beaten down. He had not. He considered himself a god. Now, to be suddenly told that he was not a god at all, that his ultimate technique could be so easily broken, was a huge blow to his worldview.
His Rinnegan had originated from Madara Uchiha. The Uchiha clan's trait of being prone to anxiety and mental instability had also affected him through the Rinnegan over the past dozen or so years.
Nagato's eyes suddenly dimmed. The mental blow had plunged him into a huge state of self-doubt.
In less than three seconds, he spat out two large mouthfuls of blood, his aura becoming extremely weak.
