Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Exile
Limbo: Border Jail!
Using "Limbo," Nagato split his shadow, which could either block attacks or ambush opponents. The Rinnegan could create four such shadows. Ordinary people couldn't see these shadows nor sense them; only those with the Rinnegan could see them, and those who had mastered Sage Mode could vaguely sense them.
The "shadow" could only be materialized for a limited time before returning to the main body, requiring a cooldown period before Limbo could be used again.
This was a troublesome technique originally used by Uchiha Madara in the story, and Shishou didn't expect Nagato to be able to use it too.
Clap!
The moment Shishou was grabbed by the Limbo clone, Nagato, who was prepared, quickly clasped his hands together.
Six Paths: Space-Time Sealing!
Clang!
Countless golden ethereal chains flew out from Nagato's back, swiftly forming a prison of chains around Shishou.
This was a sealing barrier Nagato had developed over the years by studying the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, specifically to counter Shishou's Flying Thunder God and Uchiha Obito's Kamui. It could lock the space within the barrier for ten seconds, making space-time jutsu ineffective.
Looking at the chains around him, Shishou calmly said, "Nagato, it seems you've made a lot of preparations."
At this moment, he had already constructed five layers of Diamond Armor from Ryuchi Cave around himself, making it impossible for Nagato's Truth-Seeking Balls to kill him quickly.
Moreover, he had many life-saving tricks up his sleeve, so Nagato couldn't kill him.
Nagato quickly formed hand seals and said in a low voice, "I knew from the start that I couldn't kill you, so I'm only preparing to exile you."
"Exile?" Shishou was stunned.
Nagato finished forming the seals, his mouth curling into a slight smile as he said, "It's said that the Dragon Vein beneath the Roran ruins in the Land of Wind has the power to traverse time and space. Experience it well; I'll take care of the peace in the ninja world."
In the next second, a huge sand dune was summoned by Nagato, appearing under Shishou's feet. Then, the Dragon Vein erupted from the dune, engulfing him in intense light.
"To think Nagato would go as far as to summon the entire Dragon Vein to exile me, tsk tsk tsk..."
Thinking this, Shishou quickly gathered several more layers of Diamond Armor around his body and disappeared into the turbulent flow of time and space.
Knowing that the Dragon Vein's time travel wouldn't harm him, Shishou wasn't worried at all.
According to the storyline, coming back should be a matter of moments.
Of course, that's assuming nothing unexpected happens.
"Huff! Huff!"
Seeing that Shishou had successfully been exiled, Nagato immediately canceled the summoning of the Dragon Vein, Limbo: Border Jail, and the Space-Time Sealing.
Even with his current strength, using these three abilities consumed a lot of his energy and he couldn't maintain them for long.
However, just as Nagato began to relax, he suddenly felt a massive killing intent from afar.
Looking up, he saw two radiant figures surrounded by several Truth-Seeking Balls rushing toward him. Behind these two figures were ten women who had activated Sage Mode.
"Truth-Seeking Balls?"
Seeing the black spheres around the two women, Nagato was instantly stunned.
In the next moment, Nagato saw the two radiant women simultaneously raise their arms toward him, sending two golden long swords flying at him.
Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!!!
Meanwhile, the Great Katsuyu Sage had also freed herself from Nagato's clones and the Six Paths of Pain and was attacking him.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!
Deafening battle sounds erupted again.
The battle between the user of Flying Thunder God and the leader of the Akatsuki had temporarily ended.
Next was the revenge battle of the Flying Thunder God user's wives.
Facing the combined assault of the Great Katsuyu Sage, Hyuga Rimei, Kushina, Tsunade, Mei Terumi, Yugito Nii, Pakura, and Uchiha Mikoto—three Six Paths level fighters and ten super-Kage level fighters with Sage Mode—Nagato, having consumed most of his power, was utterly overwhelmed.
After exhausting the divine tree's power within him, his eyes reverted to ordinary Rinnegan, and he was almost gravely injured and killed.
If not for Konan stepping in, claiming to 'track Shishou's whereabouts' to save him, Nagato would likely have died at the hands of the furious Tsunade, Mei Terumi, Yugito Nii, and the others.
Looking at the gravely injured and unconscious Nagato, Tsunade frowned and asked, "What do we do now?"
According to Nagato, Shishou had been exiled to another time and space using the power of the Dragon Vein. He didn't know how Shishou would return.
The Great Katsuyu Sage said, "Shishou is fine. I can clearly sense that he is still alive."
Kushina also added, "I can feel it too."
Both had linked with Shishou through a system, allowing them to sense his condition.
Hearing the Great Katsuyu Sage and Kushina's assurance, the women breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Shishou was safe, that was all that mattered.
Boom!
A puff of white smoke suddenly exploded beside the Great Katsuyu Sage, and a clone of Shishou appeared from the smoke, saying to the women, "The main body is fine. You all should continue your training. If he doesn't return for a long time, take care of the ninja world and don't let it fall into chaos."
"Have Konan keep Nagato's Rinnegan temporarily. She can disguise herself as the leader of the Akatsuki, while you assist her and keep an eye on Uchiha Obito."
Konan had already awakened the power of Hashirama, making her suitable to transplant the Rinnegan and take Nagato's place as the Akatsuki leader.
"Additionally..."
The clone gave further instructions to the others before disappearing. Shishou still needed to find a reason for the absence of his real identity, Aburame Shishou.
If nothing went wrong, the Dragon Vein travel should have brought him back in minutes.
However, half an hour had passed, and the main body had yet to return, indicating something unexpected.
The clone returned to Konoha and quickly took on a long-term infiltration mission as Aburame Shishou, then left the village.
Standing outside Konoha, the clone looked up at the sky and murmured, "I didn't expect this much time to have passed..."
With that, Shishou's clone poofed into white smoke and disappeared.
Meanwhile, Tsunade removed Nagato's Rinnegan and transplanted them into Konan's eyes.
The women then returned to their respective villages and continued their duties according to Shishou's instructions.
They needed to research Dragon Vein travel, accelerate their training, and maintain peace in the ninja world.
...
Boom!
A rock fell from the sky, landing in a canyon.
After a while, Shishou emerged from the rock, stretching and cracking his joints.
Surveying the surroundings, Shishou disappeared from the spot.
After a long time, he arrived at a town, looking bewildered.
"What the heck, no ninjas, no one with chakra, and rich families are using candles..."
"Did I end up in a time before the Sage of Six Paths created ninjutsu???"
