EBE Chapter 852 Drink the Medicine
Chapter 852 Drink the Medicine
Hanzo initially paid no attention to the dying brat, but when Nagato raised his head and those eyes, gleaming with purple light in the rainy night, clearly entered his vision, the "demigod's" pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.
The background is purple, with wavy patterns spreading outwards in concentric circles.
Those eyes... he'd seen them in ancient books!
"Those are... the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths?!"
Hanzo's voice trembled for the first time, a tremor born of fear of the unknown and awe of the legendary power of the gods. "The Rinnegan?! This red-haired brat actually possesses the Rinnegan?!"
He finally understood why the boy possessed such terrifying power and why he was able to survive that explosion.
According to legend, the Rinnegan is the eye of a god that controls life and death, creation and destruction. Those who possess this eye can be either gods who create peace or demons who destroy the world.
Standing before him at this moment was clearly a demon god who had fallen into complete darkness after losing his dearest friend.
"Damn it! This wasn't mentioned in the intelligence at all!"
Hanzo's initial contempt vanished instantly, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and killing intent. This level of potential threat, if not eliminated today, would become a nightmare for Amegakure and the entire ninja world.
"Everyone, listen up! Show no mercy! Kill him immediately!"
Hanzo drew his poison-coated scythe and roared hysterically, "That's the legendary Rinnegan! If we don't kill him, we'll all die here! Attack!!!"
"kill!!!"
Hearing their leader's command, despite their fear, hundreds of Rain Ninja and Root ninja charged forward. Countless ninjutsu flashed, and various shuriken and explosive tags rained down on the isolated figure in the rain.
Nagato watched the impending death, his purple Rinnegan eyes remaining completely still.
"Is this... what you call justice?"
He slowly raised his hand, his palm facing the crowd rushing towards him.
"Since only pain can awaken you in this world..."
boom! ! !
A repulsive storm, even more violent and terrifying than before, was condensing and taking shape in his palm.
The rain intensified, and thunder roared deep within the clouds, as if playing a prelude to impending destruction.
"Lord Danzo has ordered! Assist Hanzo and eliminate the Rinnegan host at all costs!"
At a command, the Konoha Root ninjas, who had been hiding in the shadows, stopped watching. Like a black tide, they drew their gleaming ninja swords, joined forces with the Rain Ninja, and rushed towards the swaying red-haired boy from all directions.
"Yahiko...Yahiko..."
As Nagato gazed at the overwhelming killing intent, the image of his dearest friend lying in a pool of blood haunted his mind. That excruciating pain transformed into a rage powerful enough to burn the world.
"You...are unforgivable!!!"
Nagato let out a shrill roar, his hands frantically forming hand seals—a summoning technique even listed as taboo in ancient texts.
"Nagato! No! That technique will kill you!"
Konan behind him seemed to realize something and tried to rush up to stop him in a panic, but the chakra energy emanating from Nagato directly pushed her back several meters.
"Summoning Jutsu: Gedo Statue!!!"
Nagato slammed his blood-soaked hands onto the muddy ground.
Rumble——! ! !
The earth began to tremble violently, as if some ancient behemoth was awakening underground. Countless huge cracks instantly appeared in the ground, and a suffocatingly terrifying aura surged out from the earth.
"Roar--!!!"
With a roar that seemed to come from the depths of hell, a gigantic brown hand burst forth from the ground. The hand was as large as a house, and the force of its swing sent the dozen or so Root ninjas at the forefront flying like flies, spitting out blood and shattering their bones.
Immediately afterwards, a huge brown humanoid monster with nine closed eyes and a back covered with protrusions like withered trees slowly crawled out from the ground.
Heretic Golem!
Its enormous size blotted out the sky, and the oppressive aura it exuded sent shivers down the spines of everyone present. Hanzo and Danzo's subordinates were as insignificant as ants before this power.
"What...what kind of monster is this?!" Hanzo's scythe trembled slightly. Even as a demigod, he had never seen such an evil and powerful summoning beast.
But this is just the beginning.
puff!puff!puff!
Suddenly, several thick black metal rods shot out from the withered back of the Gedo Mazo, piercing Nagato's back like lightning and penetrating his body.
"Ughhhhhh!!!"
Nagato screamed in agony, his voice piercingly mournful. Although no blood flowed, it was visibly his life essence being frantically drained by those black rods.
The once robust but injured boy's body rapidly withered within seconds. His cheeks sunken, his cheekbones protruding, his skin turning ashen like withered tree bark, and his once vibrant red hair lost its luster. In an instant, the spirited young man transformed into a emaciated, emaciated old man.
"Nagato!!!" Konan cried out, covering her mouth as she witnessed the horrific scene. Her heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe.
But he remained standing. His Rinnegan eyes appeared even larger and more sinister on his gaunt face, gleaming with a destructive light.
"Let the world...feel pain."
Nagato's hoarse voice seemed to come from the depths of hell. Driven by his will, the black rod connecting him and the golem transmitted a surge of violent chakra.
"Roar!!!"
The Gedo Mazo opened its abyss-like maw, and a translucent purple dragon, entirely formed from chakra, roared out.
The purple dragon circled in the air, letting out a deafening roar, before charging fiercely towards the terrified army of ninjas.
"Get out of the way!" Hanzo roared.
But it was too late. The purple dragon's speed exceeded the limits of vision. It moved as if it were in an empty field. Any ninja it touched, whether they were Rain Ninja or Root elites, had their bodies instantly stiffen, and their souls were directly sucked away by the dragon, leaving only empty shells lying in the mud.
This was a one-sided massacre.
The negotiation site of Amegakure was instantly transformed into a living hell. Countless ninjas fell amidst screams, their blood mingling with the rain to form a river, staining the entire canyon red.
……
Konoha Village, underground laboratory.
It was warm and spring-like here, filled with the aroma of herbs, as if it were in a parallel world to the rainy night outside filled with carnage.
"Here, drink your medicine."
Zhang Hai held a bowl of dark, murky herbal medicine, looking helplessly at Terumi Mei sitting on the hospital bed with a rosy complexion.
