The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 173 The Insidious Ninja Thief

Chapter 173 The Insidious Ninja Thief

"boom!"

A massive explosion erupted from Susanoo, creating a mushroom cloud like a nuclear explosion that shot straight into the sky, clearing away the rain clouds and revealing a clear blue sky.

Blinding white light and shockwaves swept in all directions, peeling away the surface rock layers like fragile biscuits, leaving the ground completely clean.

It only lasted a short while before Susanoo's energy armor was cut open, followed by flesh and bones.

Finally, under the cutting force of the golden light, the entire Susanoo was cleaved in two at the chest and exploded with a deafening roar.

The golden light passed through the body and fell directly into the Rain Village, cutting everything in two silently, like a knife slicing through tofu.

The lightsaber, with its undiminished force, cleaved the earth, creating a bottomless chasm that directly divided the entire Rain Village into two parts.

The tower in the center of Amegakure split open from the top and slowly slid down to the ground, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror, almost revealing a person.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence. Only the puppets remained unmoved, continuing to bombard the area indiscriminately according to their predetermined program.

Previously, the battles between Nagato and Otsutsuki Yukio were all in mid-air. When they encountered attacks, they either had to dodge or use their chakra absorption abilities to nullify the power of the attacks. This was the first time they had experienced such a violent explosion.

This single blow caused more damage than all the damage inflicted by the previous puppets combined.

Nagato flew into a rage.

He truly treated Amegakure as his own home, and he was very familiar with every plant, tree, and villager there.

He's always been the one causing others pain, so who would have thought he'd be the one getting attacked?

This is absolutely outrageous!

"There can only be one god in the ninja world!"

Nagato coldly declared, finally making up his mind.

He quickly formed hand seals and slammed them onto the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu: Gedo Statue!"

The earth trembled violently, and then a giant hand suddenly emerged from the ground and pulled its massive body up to the surface.

A colossal wooden statue crawled out from beneath the earth, stood at Nagato's feet, raised its fists, and let out a deafening roar towards the sky.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path has reappeared!

The enemy's attack was simply too powerful; apart from the Gedo Mazo, Nagato couldn't think of anything that could withstand it.

When Otsutsuki Yukio saw the Gedo Mazo, he was furious.

"Shameless ninja thief!"

"First they stole our Demonic Statue of the Heretic, then they stole our Pure Byakugan!"

"Today, we will fight to the death!"

He raised his right arm and once again condensed the "Golden Wheel Rebirth Explosion".

Driven by rage, his Reincarnation Eye emitted a blinding blue light, making the golden lightsaber that formed this time even more solid and violent than before.

Nagato hurriedly activated the Gedo Mazo beneath his feet and charged towards him.

At this time, the Gedo Mazo had not yet been infused with a tailed beast, so Nagato had to provide it with chakra to attack.

Nagato at this point was no longer the underdeveloped figure he once was. Although he still couldn't fully meet the needs of the Gedo Mazo, he could still perform its basic functions.

"Die, you thief!"

Otsutsuki Yukio unleashed "Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion" once again, but Nagato directly countered it with the Gedo Mazo.

For a split second, time seemed to stand still as the two energies collided. Then, a massive explosion occurred at the point of their intersection, even more violent than the previous one, as if a second sun had risen in the sky.

A massive burst of light and heat erupted, spreading rapidly outwards with unstoppable force, blowing everything in its path away, and even causing the ground to undulate like the surface of the sea.

"Aww————"

As if it were also feeling the pain, the demonic statue roared to the sky, and large pieces of its wooden skin peeled off, revealing a strange tissue underneath that resembled both wood and flesh.

A massive shockwave violently pounded against the chakra cloak covering Otsutsuki Yukio's body, causing the dark green sleeves to flutter wildly.

Otsutsuki Yukio took a few quick breaths, sensing the silent protest of his aging body, but he still showed no intention of retreating.

After discovering that the enemy before him was a thief who had twice stolen the Ōtsutsuki clan's property from the moon, he knew that this person would surely be Toneri's future enemy.

He would rather die here today than let this traitor continue to interfere with the growth of his servants in the future.

He took a deep breath and raised his right hand again.

But before he could launch an attack, the space behind him suddenly rippled, and a person emerged from behind him, gently pressing his hand on his back.

"Have you all forgotten about me?!"

"Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique!"

"ah----"

Otsutsuki Yukio screamed as he was sent flying by the Wood Release: Piercing Spear. He crashed heavily to the ground, bounced a few times, and finally regained his footing.

His eyes blazed with fury as he glared at An, shouting angrily, "Those treacherous ninjas! All they know how to do is pull these petty tricks!"

"Do you really think I'd fall for that a second time?"

After being tricked by Hanabi's body last time, Yukio Otsutsuki learned his lesson and now completely covers his body with a chakra cloak during battles, leaving no trace.

Although he wasted a lot of chakra, with the support of the "Giant Tenseigan" on the moon, his chakra was practically inexhaustible.

The effect was also very obvious.

If he hadn't been shielded by the chakra cloak, he would have definitely fallen victim to the same ninjutsu twice.

The result of being pierced by "Wood Release: Wood Spike Technique" is obvious without even asking: certain death.

"Tsk!" An curled his lip regretfully. "I hate Six Paths level guys like you the most. Your physical abilities are all incredibly strong, and you even have chakra cloaks as defenses. If your attack power isn't strong enough, you can't even break through your defenses!"

"But what a coincidence, I have a special eye technique here that can counter defense."

An took off his coat, revealing two Mangekyou Sharingan eyes on his chest.

However, he did not launch an attack immediately, but patiently waited for Otsutsuki Yukio to make the first move.

Kamui has strong attack power, but it requires a high degree of timing. Once the enemy discovers it, it is easy for them to dodge.

With a simple movement, Yukio Otsutsuki raised his arms, and dozens of chakra beads materialized and floated before his eyes.

He pointed forward, and the chakra beads shot towards An like machine guns.

An dodged into the Divine Might Space and watched as the attacks passed through his body and exploded behind him.

A series of violent explosions rang out, leaving the area where An was standing riddled with craters and no place to stand.
