Naruto: Swarm System

"Just a mere summoning beast."

Nagato sneered as he saw the Great Katsuyu Sage charging at him.

Clap!

Nagato quickly formed hand seals.

Six Paths of Pain: Purgatory Dragon Soul!

Roar!!

Three purple chakra dragons emerged from his body, one circling around him and the other two attacking Shishou and the Great Katsuyu Sage.

These three dragon souls were a combination of the chakra dragon from the Gedo Statue and the Human Path's ability, capable of instantly extracting a person's soul.

Swish!

Shishou's figure vanished, reappearing behind the Great Katsuyu Sage, using the Flying Thunder God technique to take her away from the spot.

Reappearing at a distance, Shishou frowned and explained, "These chakra dragons are likely formed from the Six Paths abilities. They can probably extract a person's soul instantly. Normal means can't defend against them, so be careful."

The purple chakra dragons around Nagato looked very much like the chakra dragon he had seen Nagato use with the Gedo Statue, so Shishou immediately guessed their capability.

As the chakra dragons charged again, the Great Katsuyu Sage raised her right hand calmly and said, "Anything formed from chakra can be neutralized."

Sage Art: Water Enclosure Sealing!

Whoosh!

A large amount of viscous liquid, carrying sealing runes, sprayed from the Great Katsuyu Sage's right palm, enveloping Nagato's attacking chakra dragons and turning them into immobile, plastic-like dragons.

Then, the Great Katsuyu Sage placed her hand on Shishou's shoulder, coating his body with another layer of the liquid membrane.

The first membrane she had given Shishou was an acid-resistant one to prevent him from being accidentally harmed by her acid.

This time, it was the Water Enclosure Sealing membrane, preventing the chakra dragons from touching him and extracting his soul.

Seeing his previously invincible chakra dragons neutralized, Nagato dismissed them with a wave of his hand, giving the Great Katsuyu Sage a serious look.

He suddenly felt that the Great Katsuyu Sage might be the most difficult opponent.

The Great Katsuyu Sage formed a hand seal.

Sage Art: Katsuyu Clone!

With the seal, a liquid extended from the Great Katsuyu Sage's body, forming an identical clone beside her.

The clone immediately flew towards Nagato, splitting into more clones as it advanced.

Two, four, eight, sixteen...

Within ten seconds, thousands of clones had split from the Great Katsuyu Sage, swarming towards Nagato.

Nagato swung his Truth-Seeking Balls, quickly destroying the nearest clone.

Boom!!!

The clone exploded with the power comparable to a small Tailed Beast Bomb.

Nagato's expression turned grim as he formed a protective shield with his Truth-Seeking Balls around himself.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!

The Great Katsuyu Sage's clones continued their suicidal attacks, exploding on contact with Nagato's shield.

The island collapsed, the sea boiled.

The powerful shockwaves from the explosions stirred the sea into towering waves.

Such a grand spectacle left Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and the others watching from afar in shock.

"Who would've thought her clone explosions would be so powerful?"

Shishou, watching the scene, was surprised by the Great Katsuyu Sage's strength.

The explosive power of her clones was a result of the forced evolution she underwent when Shishou linked her to himself.

He had thought the explosions would be similar to Konan's explosive tags, but their power was akin to small Tailed Beast Bombs, and they even damaged the Truth-Seeking Balls.

The Great Katsuyu Sage proudly said, "These are sage clones, it's normal for them to be powerful."

Hearing this, Shishou nodded in understanding.

"This won't work, my Truth-Seeking Balls won't hold up," Nagato realized as one of his shields was consumed. With a fierce expression, he formed a hand seal.

Six Paths: Almighty Push!

Boom!

An invisible barrier exploded from Nagato, spreading rapidly and sending all the Great Katsuyu Sage's clones flying, causing a series of violent explosions.

The massive shockwave from the Almighty Push obliterated the island formed by Chibaku Tensei, sinking it back into the sea.

Shishou and the Great Katsuyu Sage were also blasted several kilometers away before they regained their footing.

Even Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and the others, several kilometers away, had to use defensive measures to withstand the shockwave.

Having cleared the surrounding area of clones, Nagato raised his hand towards Shishou in the distance.

Six Paths: Universal Pull!

Shishou's body was irresistibly drawn towards Nagato. Even using the Flying Thunder God to return to the Great Katsuyu Sage's side, he couldn't escape the Universal Pull, getting pulled faster towards Nagato.

Clearly, after gaining the Six Paths power, Nagato's abilities had undergone a qualitative transformation.

Nagato grabbed Shishou with Universal Pull in his left hand and formed a sharp, spinning trident with a Truth-Seeking Ball in his right.

The Great Katsuyu Sage left a clone with Shishou's Flying Thunder God mark in place, then charged at Nagato with her sword.

Nagato glanced coldly at the Great Katsuyu Sage, "You can't stop his death."

Six Paths: Almighty Push!

Boom!

Another invisible barrier exploded from Nagato, sending the Great Katsuyu Sage flying again.

Seeing her pushed away and unable to escape using the Flying Thunder God, Shishou formed hand seals while flying towards Nagato: Ram, Boar, Goat...

Several black dragons filled with sage chakra emerged from Shishou, attacking Nagato, trying to create support with Wood Release.

Nagato's back sprouted a limb to control the Truth-Seeking Ball trident, while his right hand used the Preta Path to absorb the sage energy from the black dragons, then shattered them with the Truth-Seeking Ball.

Once the sage energy concentration decreased, the wood was as fragile as tofu against the Truth-Seeking Balls.

Seeing this, Shishou's mouth twitched.

While he could use vast sage energy to make Wood Release resistant to Truth-Seeking Balls, Nagato's Preta Path, after gaining Six Paths power, could instantly absorb large amounts of sage chakra, nullifying Shishou's defenses.

In this situation, unless Shishou used an ultimate move like the Asura Rasenshuriken, leaving Nagato no time to absorb it, all long-range and close combat attacks were disadvantageous.

This was why Shishou found Nagato more troublesome than the White Snake Sage.

While Shishou pondered these thoughts, he was pulled close to Nagato, and the spinning Truth-Seeking Ball trident pierced through his Diamond Armor and stabbed into his body.
