Looking at Mirai's nonchalant expression, Deva Path clenched his fist tightly.
This guy—he's had that attitude from the very beginning.
He's never once taken me seriously!
Thinking this, Deva Path refused to back down.
"After this battle," he declared, "I'll spare your life as well."
...
As the two exchanged words in the sky, the shinobi below finally recognized their identities.
"Uchiha Mirai… That white-haired guy is Uchiha Mirai! He's targeting our village!"
"Damn it! Why are the shinobi from the great nations always like this? We just want to live peacefully in our own village!"
"That's our leader facing him? This is the first time I've actually seen him in action…"
"I'm worried. Can the leader really win against him? That's Uchiha Mirai!"
"Relax. Our leader defeated Hanzō and gave us a new life in Amegakure. Even Mirai won't be able to defeat him!"
Unlike the original timeline, in this world, Nagato had no Konan by his side. This forced him to personally step forward, revealing himself to Amegakure's shinobi.
As a result, most of the village's shinobi recognized Deva Path's face.
And even when facing a terrifying enemy like Mirai, they still had unwavering faith in their godlike leader.
...
Listening to the murmurs below, Mirai raised an eyebrow.
"I didn't expect you to have this kind of influence."
He had assumed that, without Konan, Nagato must have ruled Amegakure through sheer force alone.
But judging from the reactions of the village shinobi, it seemed that wasn't entirely the case.
Deva Path had no interest in idle chatter. With a flicker of his body, he lunged straight at Mirai.
In response, Mirai swung his leg in a powerful roundhouse kick.
Boom!
Deva Path's body shot downward like a cannonball, slamming hard into the ground.
The shinobi of Amegakure gasped in shock, their mouths hanging open.
No one had expected their godlike leader to be sent flying with a single kick!
"Damn it!"
Climbing out of the rubble, Deva Path's gaze held a trace of wariness.
He's too fast… Even my Rinnegan can barely track his movements, and this body simply can't keep up.
No wonder he managed to unite the Five Great Shinobi Villages. His strength is terrifying.
If that's the case, close combat isn't an option.
Raising his arm, Deva Path locked onto Mirai, who was still hovering in midair.
"Banshō Ten'in!"
A powerful gravitational force pulled Mirai toward him.
As Mirai was dragged closer, Deva Path clapped his hands together.
"Shinra Tensei!"
A repelling force exploded outward, slamming into Mirai with immense power.
A smirk tugged at Deva Path's lips.
Under the combined effect of gravitational push and pull, even steel would be crushed into dust.
A human body? Absolutely impossible to withstand.
However, just as Deva Path's technique struck, Mirai's lips curved into a faint smile. An overwhelming surge of chakra and ocular power erupted from him.
A powerful gust of wind swept outward, sending his white hair and cloak billowing upward.
"Susanoo!"
Blood-red chakra engulfed Mirai, instantly forming a colossal, thousand-meter-tall, fully realized Susanoo.
The space crushed by Shinra Tensei and Banshō Ten'in was instantly forced open by Susanoo's sheer size and power.
Boom!
With a single step, the enormous Susanoo made the earth tremble violently, sending Amegakure's shinobi stumbling backward.
As they stared up at the towering Susanoo, their faces were filled with sheer despair.
"Gulp… That size is just ridiculous! Even if I tilt my head back all the way, I can only see its lower body…"
"Is this the power Mirai used to unify the shinobi world?"
"I've seen tailed beasts before, and they're already massive, but compared to this thing… they look like house cats!"
"Run! If we get caught in the shockwave, we're dead!"
Faced with the fully realized Susanoo, the shinobi of Amegakure didn't hesitate. They turned and ran as fast as they could.
Even a moment's delay would be an insult to the power before them!
"Shinra Tensei!"
"Banshō Ten'in!"
Deva Path unleashed his Rinnegan's abilities in rapid succession, desperately trying to take down the massive Susanoo.
But no matter how much he struggled, Susanoo remained completely unaffected.
Then, Susanoo raised one enormous foot and stomped down toward Deva Path.
The sheer force of its movement sent powerful winds sweeping through the village, toppling entire buildings.
Deva Path's eyes widened in horror.
This body—Yahiko's body—must not be destroyed!
Gritting his teeth, he summoned a massive surge of chakra.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Pouring all his strength into the technique, he managed to make Susanoo stumble slightly, its raised foot drawing back a step.
Boom!
Another earth-shaking impact rippled through the battlefield. Deva Path was stunned.
Just… just shifting its stance caused the ground to tremble like an earthquake…
If that Susanoo were to go all out, what kind of catastrophe would it unleash?
Realizing the overwhelming difference in power, Deva Path made a swift decision. He activated Shinra Tensei on himself, using the repelling force to propel his body far away.
Mirai didn't pursue. Instead, he called out calmly, "Nagato, Yahiko's puppet is too weak. If you want to fight me, use your real body."
"Otherwise, next time—I won't guarantee Yahiko's corpse remains intact."
Hearing this, Nagato's face darkened.
So he already knows where I am…
But if I want to defeat that fully realized Susanoo, Yahiko's body won't cut it. I'll have to step in myself.
Amegakure's shinobi exchanged uneasy glances.
That… was just a puppet?
Our leader… has another body?
As confusion spread among the villagers, a figure in a black Akatsuki cloak stepped forward.
His face was healthy-looking, his build strong, though his skin was unnaturally pale.
Staring up at the colossal Susanoo, the man showed no fear—only a faint smile.
"Mirai… I'm getting serious now."
