"Is this your Rinnegan's ability, boss?"
nma unfazedly looked at Pain.
"Repulsion and gravity… Not bad."
Pain looked at nma calmly.
"You're good at Strange strength. Did you learn it from Tsunade?" He asked.
nm smirked and said, "I once t Princess Tsunade so I stole it from her."
This response seed to answer the lingering doubts in so people's minds.
However, the truth was different. nma's strange strength ca from an ability he had gained from Sakura's talent entry.
Sakura had inherited strange strength from Tsunade and Ryosuke, disguised as nma had indeed t Tsunade before.
So, he wasn't exactly lying. It was just a matter of perspective.
Pain remained unfazed and coldly said, "If this is all you have, it won't be enough."
His true power had yet to be unleashed.
Even with only a single Pain present, his strength was more than enough to crush most Kage-level opponents.
nma chuckled and said, "I was worried about wrecking this place by accident."
He said as his Sharingan began spinning, "But now I see that won't be a problem."
In an instant, his three-tomoe Sharingan transford into the Mangekyō Sharingan with an eerie five-sickle pattern.
"Here it cos!"
The mbers of the Akatsuki tensed up.
They had been wondering about what kind of Mangekyō pupil technique nma possessed.
They were well aware of Itachi's pupil techniques.
Tsukuyomi: A nearly unavoidable genjutsu unless one could avoid eye contact. In the Akatsuki, only Pain had a chance to resist it.
Amaterasu: Black flas that burn at temperatures exceeding 5,000–6,000 degrees Celsius. Deadly, but limited by slow activation speed and poor accuracy. Without Fla Control, it isn't as effective.
So… what about nma?
Even Deidara, who despised nma's attitude was curious.
But in the next mont—
"Susanoo!"
Instead of activating the Mangekyō's pupil technique, nma imdiately used the Susanoo, the ultimate power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
The Akatsuki mbers were stunned.
When Itachi fought earlier, he hadn't relied on Tsukuyomi or Amaterasu.
Why?
Because against another Mangekyō Sharingan user, genjutsu is less effective.
And Amaterasu?
It was too slow to land a hit on soone like nma, who was incredibly fast.
That's why Itachi had skipped using his Mangekyō's pupil techniques and gone straight to the Susanoo.
Now, nma was doing the sa.
A black skeletal figure rose from the ground.
Flas of dark energy burned around it, forming the eerie shape of a Susanoo.
Itachi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"This… This is…!"
The Susanoo before him was in the second form, with only the upper skeletal torso being fully ford.
It resembled Itachi's own Susanoo, but there were two key differences.
The first was color. Unlike Itachi's red, this Susanoo was pitch black, exuding a far more ominous aura.
The second was size. nma's Susanoo was colossal.
Itachi's second-form Susanoo stood at around 10 ters.
But nma's?
It was 60 to 70 ters tall!
The size difference was absurd. If the two stood side by side, it would be like a child standing before an adult.
"What the hell? Why is his Susanoo so big?"
Itachi frowned, unable to comprehend what he was seeing.
Is Susanoo's size determined by individual users?
He had always thought Shisui's Susanoo was similar in size to his own.
But this…
This was completely different!
"Itachi-san, this rookie's Susanoo… seems much larger than yours." Kisa said, his tone doubtful.
Itachi nodded and said, "It's much bigger, but size alone doesn't determine strength."
Kisa scratched his head, and he wasn't convinced.
From sheer visual impact alone, nma's giant Susanoo looked far more intimidating than Itachi's.
"Whoa! That thing is HUGE!"
"Isn't that Susanoo a bit too big?!"
"Crazy… It's almost touching the ceiling!"
"No wonder he said he was afraid of destroying the base. He wasn't joking!"
The Akatsuki mbers were shocked.
Most of them had never seen any Susanoo before except Itachi's, so their reaction was natural.
Even Pain was montarily surprised.
"This is… Susanoo?"
The sheer scale of it was overwhelming. But size didn't always equate to power.
"Let's test it."
Pain flew forward and launched a Shinra Tensei at the black Susanoo.
Boom!
The repulsive force struck.
But the Susanoo barely shuddered. It didn't even take a single step back.
"???"
Pain's expression darkened.
The Akatsuki mbers were also dumbfounded.
They were well aware of Shinra Tensei's domineering force.
Shinra Tensei is an almighty push that can crush entire battlefields but it only made this Susanoo wobble slightly?
"What kind of defense is this?"
Even Zetsu'z eyes glead with curiosity.
Inside the black Susanoo, nma folded his arms and calmly asked, "Is this really your full strength?"
Pain frowned.
He attacked once again and this ti, he used his full power.
"Shinra Tensei!!"
A much stronger repulsive wave slamd into nma's Susanoo.
This ti, it actually moved back a little but only slightly.
"Holy crap!"
Deidara gulped.
"No way! Pain won't lose to this newbie, right?"
Pain's eyes narrowed. This wasn't working.
The black Susanoo was like an unbreakable fortress and it was too tough to crack.
Even though the Susanoo was mainly a defensive ability, it wasn't just about defense.
Its attack power was just as terrifying.
"There's no other choice." Pain made a decision.
A mont later—
More figures appeared beside him. They were the other Paths of Pain.
Konan's expression turned serious.
"Pain is finally getting serious." She murmured.
Since Yahiko's death, Nagato had never needed to use all Six Paths of Pain at once until now.
This Uchiha is too strong.
Even the Shinra Tensei couldn't break through his Susanoo's defenses.
Pain turned to nma and said, "The space here is too small. Let's continue this fight outside."
nma smirked and said, "That's fine by ."
With that, he dispersed his Susanoo and vanished, heading outside.
"Let's go watch."
"It's rare for the leader get this serious. Maybe we'll finally see his true strength."
"Hard to say. How do you know this is even his full power?"
"This rookie is insane!"
"Isn't it obvious?"
The mbers of the Akatsuki wasted no ti. Their figures flashed as they exited the base and rushed toward the forest outside.
As soon as they arrived, they were t with an astonishing sight.
A towering, jet-black Susanoo that was hundreds of ters tall effortlessly swatted away a massive summoned beast.
More enormous summons surrounded it, lunging in relentless waves.
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed through the battlefield as a missile struck the Susanoo's back, erupting into a violent blast.
That was the power of the Asura Path.
Every inch of its chanical body was a weapon. Unlike traditional ninja tools, these resembled modern artillery like missiles, rockets, and other advanced firepowers.
A relentless barrage of projectiles pounded against the black Susanoo.
At the sa ti, nurous summoned creatures latched onto it, clawing and biting furiously.
"Oh my God! Isn't this too terrifying?!"
Deidara's jaw nearly dropped, and his eyes widened with shock.
Boom!
A large shadow flung through the air, crashing violently into the ground just a few ters away.
"That's brutal."
Kakuzu muttered as he glanced at the mangled remains of the massive summoned beast.
Then, without thinking, he turned toward Hidan.
"Oi, Kakuzu! What the hell are you looking at for?!"
Hidan snapped, his expression darkening.
The grueso sight had clearly unsettled him, bringing up so unpleasant mories.
anwhile, Kisa observed the unfolding chaos and smirked.
"Itachi-san, your clan is truly sothing else."
Itachi, having wiped the blood around his eyes, remained silent.
Though his vision was still sowhat blurred, he could make out the sheer scale of destruction unfolding before him.
"What the hell is up with this Susanoo?"
He couldn't comprehend it.
This was just the second form of Susanoo. It should be nothing more than a skeletal fra without flesh or muscle.
But its sheer power far exceeded anything he had ever seen.
Missiles, summons, explosions…
If those had struck his Susanoo, it's defense would have been shattered instantly.
But when they hit this monstrous black Susanoo, they barely left a scratch.
The difference was too vast.
