New path

Seeing from afar as tearing up the battlefield, deflecting Deidara's attacks with kusanagi at the same time dodging Konan's attacks in the form of paper hurricanes, Sasuke was not in an advantageous position. Apparently, Konan was aware of Amaterasu's ability and constantly shielded herself and the big explosion lover from the line of sight as soon as Sasuke turned his eyes.

And if it were possible to touch the paper, then it could be immediately isolated. Sasuke was in the most unfavorable position but still did not give up. He still didn't want to use Sussano and only used his sword and Orochimaru's mark.

Landing next to him, I activated Sussano, protecting us from a new wave of explosions.

"Where is Suigetsu?"

"He was wounded and I let him go. By now he should have found Karin. How many minutes do we have until… this?" - Sasuke, not taking his eyes off Konan frozen in the sky with paper wings and ignoring Deidara's screams, asked me.

Another explosion sounded from outside the purple chakra, but with a wave of his hand, Sussano shrugged it off like a fly.

"About four or five minutes. If Hagoromo himself, the progenitor of chakra, was here, he would not be able to survive such an encounter, so the only option is to escape. However, we have the choice to try to capture one of the Akatsuki and escape, or leave right now, choose."

I stopped looking at Konan and looked at Sasuke.

Without hesitation, he immediately answered.

"We have to capture one of them. Deidara is weak in close combat, as soon as we can bring him down I can get him with lightning and disarm his clay. Any ideas how?"

"Are you sure he knows where Itachi is?"

"We have no other choice. The paper girl is too mobile, and this puppet that calls itself Pain will be useless if you interrogate it."

Nodding I realized someone is missing. I clearly felt her here when i arrived

"Where are the three-tailed jinchūriki?"

To which Sasuke silently raised his hand and pointed to the white flying dragon in the sky. Squinting, I felt like there was a tailed beast charkra inside the mouth of the clay dragon, but there was no Yugito's chakra. Dangling limply, Yugito's legs dangled as if threatening to fall off with every beat of his wings.

"Then let's get started." - having folded the seals, I made 2 clones.

There were 4 minutes left before a collision with a meteorite that threatened to erase the entire landscape of the forest.

Konan dived down and exploded with paper that swirled, obscuring the view.

Out of the corner of my ear, I suddenly heard a successful summoning technique and heard something that I did not think I would hear. Pain made it his top priority to protect his family instead of taking the jinchūriki. It was unexpected for me, and after flying backward, I finally managed to resist a strong repulsion with the help of chakra and two clones to slow down.

Having lost strength, the clones exploded from the concentration of chakra and I absorbed the remains of almost nothing, although initially, I distributed little chakra to the clones. With the acquisition of the tailed chakra, I learned to more accurately control huge arrays of chakra, pumping them like water from a lake through a chakra channel. I could pump over both one percent of the chakra or 80%.

Having created new clones, distributing one chakra of the three-tailed and one-tailed, I left them to create rassengans pumping elemental characteristics.

The lava and water Rassengan rushed towards the pain, but when they almost reached it, a wave of chakra erupted from the body and destroyed the Rassengan's in nothingness. There were three seconds before the ability's cooldown, and after calculating the time, I used up the Shadow Manipulation Technique. Due to the fact that it was now relatively dark and there were enough light sources, it was easy to create a web of shadows around Pain and grab the body with a squeezing like a snake-shadows. The downside was that I stopped moving and, seeing the weakness, Konan sent about a thousand paper shurikens in my direction.

The blue defective Sussano flared up obscuring my view and protecting me from the shurikens. Without missing a moment, I plunged into the shadows, leaving the clone to support the technique. Neither Pain nor the others noticed that the real me had faded into the shadows, and when Sussano dissipated while Sasuke was panting, Pain saw an opportunity.

Raising his hand, he began to pull the clone and Sasuke lost the ability to repel and the shadow technique was canceled. The shadows returned back to their original distance, but Pain immediately realized his mistake when he felt the chakra vibrate in his shadow.

Releasing the pull technique, he jumped to the right at an impossible angle almost breaking in half to save himself, but it was too late.

A shadow jumped out of the shadows and grabbed his leg. Scarlet eyes with an unusual pattern looked straight into the Rinnegan and seemed to mock the helplessness of the second. A sharp swing deeply imprinted Pain's body into the stones at high speed, and twitching, Pain realized that unknown energy began to spread from his leg, due to which he lost control over part of his body. Trying to raise his hands, realizing that there was a second left before repulsion, Pain gathered with chakra to turn his hand into dust along with his lost leg.

"Like I'll let you!" - as if a whisper was heard above the ear and the light of a long blade flashed from an impossible distance from the second Uchiha.

Feeling no pain from lost hands, only regret that the opportunity was lost Pain looked at the blade in the hands of Sasuke. Realizing that he forgot about the ability of the Kusanagi, he cursed his bad luck. It is possible that with such speed of reaction and strength, this Uchiha duo did not lie and really killed "Madara." After all, he himself with Konan analyzed him for a long time collecting any DNA or his characteristics, and found many weaknesses. Each was critical, and given that the Cat was at the time when Tobi was in the organization, he also had to have time to plunder the information from the mangekyo under the mask.

Realizing that the body was lost as Renjiro extended both hands towards his head, Nagato clenched his teeth in anger as he said goodbye to Yahiko's body. The head burst from the tension under both palms, and the pieces, as if from a rotten watermelon, scattered.

Realizing that I had finally killed Pain's body, I wasted no time and pulled out the chakra stick and stuck it in my hand. Punching the skin, ignoring the shocked Sasuke, I began to look for a thread of chakra that had not yet died out, and as if traveling through the air myself, I felt and saw a place deep in a tree on one of the distant mountains. Feeling the foreign energy, both Nagato and I saw each other instantly and the Mangekyou's fleeting glance at the Rinengan made it clear that this was not the end. Nagato immediately unsummon the Gedo statue after realizing that this might be the end.

Pulling out the stick, discarding it, regaining control over the chakra, and breathing while the blue Sussano covered us from the paper that squeezed the bones, I realized that Sasuke was at the limit and his eyes were already bleeding. With an instant hit on the shoulder, I interrupted the flow of chakra, canceling Sussano and teleporting us away.

Finding myself not far from the place with Nagato where the old seal put by one of the Eagles successfully stood, I looked at Sasuke.

"I can still fight." Sasuke deactivated his eyes to the Sharingan and looked at me with conviction.

I nodded with my finger up.

"Pain's real body is in there. We need to hurry Konan and the second one on the way."

"The leader of their organization..." Sasuke's face brightened as he realized that we would finally capture an important Akatsuki member.

Turning around, I realized that Zetsu had run away from the battlefield a long time ago, and even all the white poop lovers had fled. It is not good for me.

Rushing towards the tree, I broke through the bark and met with a pair of fury-filled eyes.

"Don't think that I'll just leave like that!" Nagato roared and released two golden chains from his chest, shackling us both.

"This technique again!!!" - waving the blade without causing damage, Sasuke was twisted instantly when the chains of the Uzumaki were released.

Folding the seals on his last breath, he looked at me triumphantly.

"Konan, I hope you can let me go and live without pain in your heart..." He sighed as he stared blankly ahead as it got colder around him.

"I can't escape!" Sasuke yelled as he tried to activate Sussano, but was immediately almost crushed by the chain.

In turn, I couldn't help but stare at the shape that formed behind Nagato. Cold laughter swept around, shuddering from the cold, and looking at me, the reaper hit Nagato in the chest. Yelling from pain, Nagato immediately clenched his teeth and looked at me.

His gaze said everything.

I will die, but I will take you with me.

But looking at me, he felt panic when he did not see the proper reaction. Being in close proximity, he knew that Sasuke could not see what was behind him, but my eyes were focused on the evil face of the Reaper.

Having activated the chakra, I tensed up and broke free. Pouring chakra into my eyes, I finally understood the true power of the eyes when seals start activating. Waves went around the pupil and the pupil disappeared. The whole world has changed in my eyes and this time it was like white and gray. Any energy, natural, chakra, souls was visible to me within my sight. Activating the sage mode and the purified nine-tail chakra, I released a dense chakra creating a cover on the body in the form of clothes. Exploding with energy and feeling real power in my hands, I landed on the ground and, looking forward at the reaper who stopped smiling, went forward at him. Using the Rinnegan, I immediately created two balls of dense chakra and let them cool while retaining their shape.

The reaper's hand did not slow down while flying in my direction and grabbing it with my hand, I poured the altered chakra into my hand with my eyes, enveloping the hand of the reaper's incarnation. Screaming in pain, the creature was unable to escape as the purple chakra, creating cracks, spread throughout the body and destroyed the summon. The real Reaper wasn't affected by it, but it did give him a hit on failure that I could clearly feel.

"But... this is the god of death..." - not realizing in complete shock what had just happened, falling forward on his face, Nagato let out his last breath.

The chain on Sasuke disappeared and panting he landed wheezing. After examining his body, I understood what to do. As I approached, I instantly used the fusion of yin and yang chakra and healed the body without any problems.

There was one minute left before the collision.

Putting my hands over his eyes, I corrected his impaired vision for a while, but could not change the eyes. I put a copy of the seal of Indra in his palm and shared with him part of the thick Indra chakra, which I was able to produce with my seal, giving him new powers and opportunities.

With the chakra he has, he will be able to condense his chakra and dilute it with the Indra chakra to give it new properties. Technically he now has Indra's infinite chakra until he dies. Though so diluted it does not have the same power as the original, but still, he will be stronger and the same chains will not have an effect on him. Holding out my hand to him, waiting for him to stand up and shake himself off the dust, I said loudly.

"Don't hide Konan and come out. We need to talk."
