However, within Naruto's perception range, the chameleon remained within his field of vision.
He didn't even turn around; his body shifted slightly to the other side as if he had foreseen the future.
The chameleon's deadly tongue lashed just past his cheek.
The attack missed, and just as Naruto was about to retract his tongue, his right hand shot out even faster.
With his five fingers like hooks, he gripped that slippery, cold tongue tightly in his palm!
"Come out!"
Naruto let out a cold shout, his arm muscles tensed, and a tremendous force erupted as he yanked hard in his own direction!
"Hiss-!"
Accompanied by a chilling tearing sound and the chameleon's shrill scream.
Naruto actually tore that long tongue off at the base!
Warm blood gushed out like a fountain from the chameleon's severed tongue.
Its invisible body outline was stained with blood, and it rolled and struggled on the ground in agony, unable to maintain its invisibility any longer.
In just a few breaths, the three powerful summoned beasts were either dead or seriously injured!
In the end, they all turned into smoke and disappeared.
Naruto's gaze once again locked onto Nagato, who was shrouded in ominous black mist.
Black chakra writhed on Nagato's body like a living thing, and the ripples in his Rinnegan spun faster and faster, as if containing a storm.
The battle is far from over.
Chapter 363 The Invisible Attack, Nagato's Memories
The black chakra swirling around Nagato resembled boiling ink, emanating an ominous yet powerful aura.
He looked at Naruto in the distance, who was gleaming with golden light and ready for battle.
A complex emotion flashed in those eyes of reincarnation—pain, resolve, and a hint of...dazedness.
The golden light before him, and this indomitable will, made him involuntarily recall what had happened not long ago.
Memories flooded back like a tide——
The tall tower of Amegakure Village, a dark and secret room.
Beneath the withered body of the Outer Path Demon Statue, Nagato was emaciated and barely breathing, as if he would burn out his last breath at any moment.
Countless black rods extended from his back, connecting not only to the golem but also maintaining his control over the Six Paths of Pain.
Through Pain's vision, he could clearly see every detail on the battlefield.
Seeing Jiraiya-sensei struggling on the verge of death.
They saw the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki named Naruto Uzumaki descend at an incredible speed.
He easily destroyed the hell realm and the hungry ghost realm.
Seeing the devastating nine-hit combo of the Tailed Beast Balls hurtling towards Yahiko's body!
"Yahiko...!"
The screams in his heart almost burst from his throat; immense fear and helplessness gripped him.
He was exhausting his already dwindling life force, frantically trying to come up with a solution.
Only a concentrated Super Shinra Tensei can withstand this attack.
The hungry ghost realm has been destroyed and cannot absorb anything...
Are we just supposed to watch helplessly as Yahiko's body is destroyed again, or perhaps completely?
At the height of despair, a person dressed in a black robe with red auspicious clouds emerged.
"Chief...it seems you've run into trouble."
“…You?!” Nagato’s spirits snapped to attention.
Shennong, a doctor who recently joined Xiao's team.
Shennong bowed deeply to Changmen: "I never expected that the leader outside was not the real body. The real body has always been you."
"What do you want to do?"
Nagato was filled with vigilance, after all, in the entire Akatsuki organization, apart from the masked guy who called himself Madara, only Konan knew his true identity.
At other times, he would act as Yahiko when giving orders or meeting people.
But Shennong actually discovered his true form.
Shennong calmly said, "Don't worry, Chief, I'm here to help you."
"The essence of my life's research—Dark Chakra—may help you overcome your current difficulties."
Seeing that Nagato didn't understand, Shennong explained, "This is a power that can greatly stimulate the body's activity and even exceed its limits."
"It can instantly heal your wounds, replenish your depleted vitality, and temporarily free you from this decaying body."
"Theoretically speaking, as long as you have this power, you won't die even if you open all eight gates."
Nagato ignored Shennong's words, his gaze fixed on the Tailed Beast Ball light that was about to devour Pain.
Then he "looked" at his own broken body, which was in so much pain that even breathing was painful.
To protect the only remaining body of Yahiko, for their shared dream...
He's going to fight!
Nagato roared and made his choice almost without hesitation.
"as you wish……"
In the next instant, Shennong injected a cold, violent, yet astonishingly vital black chakra into Nagato's withered body!
"Uhhhhhhhh-!"
Intense pain and extreme pleasure surged simultaneously, causing Nagato to let out a hoarse roar.
His shriveled muscles bulged as if inflated, and his pale skin instantly turned rosy.
Severed nerves, atrophied organs, depleted chakra pathways...
Everything is regenerating and strengthening at an illogical speed!
A surge of power filled his entire body, even surpassing his peak performance in his youth!
At the moment his power reached its peak, he abruptly severed part of his connection with the external golem.
Using the immense power he had briefly gained, the main body instantly activated a reverse summoning technique!
Returning to reality, Nagato felt the dark chakra surging within him.
Then, his gaze returned to Naruto.
Especially when you see the headband on Naruto's forehead.
Another, more unforgettable memory, filled with pain and hatred, surged up uncontrollably!
It was that betrayal!
It was a conspiracy by Hanzo and Shimura Danzo!
It was Yahiko… Yahiko deliberately crashed into his own kunai to save Konan!
"Yahiko..."
Nagato murmured softly, her voice hoarse and pained.
That memory was like the sharpest blade, constantly cutting into his soul.
Yahiko's blood, Yahiko's fallen figure, the cold gazes of the Konoha ninja...
All of this ultimately transformed into a fanatical belief and a raging fire that burned the world.
He suddenly raised his head, and his Rinnegan shone with a brilliant purple light, mixed with black chakra, making it appear even more eerie and ominous.
"I must fulfill Yahiko's wish! I will make the whole world feel pain! In this way, I will achieve true peace!"
With a roar, the black chakra around Nagato exploded outwards!
He suddenly waved his hand, and a strange and enormous wave of energy rippled outwards from him.
That is Yama, the King of Hell summoned by the Hell Path, a being capable of devouring souls.
However, in Naruto's view, Nagato was just there, looking up at the sky and letting out a roar.
Apart from the unsettling black chakra becoming even more concentrated, no substantial attack was observed.
With his powerful senses, an extremely strong sense of crisis suddenly exploded out of him without warning!
It felt as if they were about to be crushed by an invisible giant hand at any moment!
But where does the crisis come from?
What form of attack is it?
You can't see it at all!
This unknown brought a moment of hesitation and a blank in judgment!
It’s this moment!
Naruto felt an overwhelming, terrifying force from all directions suddenly grip his entire body!
It was as if a completely invisible yet incredibly powerful giant hand slammed him down from the sky to the ground!
There was no time to react; Naruto was like an insect hit by a fly swatter.
He was slammed onto the muddy ground in a very disheveled manner, making a dull thud and instantly creating a deep crater in the ground!
The golden chakra shield flickered violently, absorbing most of the impact.
But the shock and sudden impact caused Naruto's blood to surge and his vision to go black.
And in that instant when he was smashed and disoriented, briefly losing control of his body—
