Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Rinnegan vs. Rinnegan
The appearance of the Rinnegan left everyone present utterly stunned.
If the Rinnegan of Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki, was already something astonishing, now Sasuke also possessed the Rinnegan.
This was no longer just a matter of surprise.
It was downright shocking!
Sasuke's strength was already overwhelmingly powerful, and now with the legendary Rinnegan added to it.
Just how strong would he become?
Moreover, the more pressing question was, how did Sasuke obtain the Rinnegan?
Why?
Why does he have the Rinnegan?
This shouldn't be possible!
At this moment, the most shocked person should be Nagato.
He knew very well the origins of the Rinnegan.
But why... why does Sasuke before him possess these eyes?
"Sasuke... Uchiha Sasuke! Your eyes... how... how did this happen?"
The voice of Tendo Pain rang out, and Sasuke turned to look at him.
"You have the Rinnegan too, don't you? You should know!"
At this moment, Nagato himself looked towards Obito, hoping for an explanation.
Although Obito hadn't witnessed it firsthand, through Zetsu's account, he knew what had happened.
Both Sasuke's shocking declaration of war and the appearance of the Rinnegan had left Obito's mind almost in a state of shutdown.
'Sasuke possesses the Rinnegan...'
'Although only one Rinnegan...'
'So that's it... I understand now... the conditions for awakening the Rinnegan!'
In an instant, Obito recalled Uchiha Madara.
The reason Madara was able to awaken the Rinnegan was due to Hashirama's cells, combined with Madara's own Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, which had reached the limit of the Sharingan's power.
With the help of Hashirama's cells, the Rinnegan was successfully awakened.
And Sasuke!
He also possesses the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, though not Hashirama's cells.
That's why only one Rinnegan was awakened, but... if Sasuke were to elevate his Wood Release Kekkei Genkai to the level of Hashirama Senju in the future.
Then... perhaps he could awaken the other Rinnegan as well.
So that's how the Rinnegan is awakened!
While Obito remained silent, Nagato assumed Obito wasn't planning to tell him.
In that case, he would get the answer from Sasuke himself!
Tendo Pain looked at Sasuke.
"The Rinnegan... impressive!"
"I'd really like to know how your Rinnegan, even if it's just one, compares to mine!"
Hearing this, Sasuke raised an eyebrow. Was he looking for a fight?
To be honest, Sasuke didn't want to waste time on him. What Sasuke wanted was Naruto.
To quickly analyze the Asura chakra, master the complete Asura chakra, and awaken the other Rinnegan.
Only then could he become stronger.
Possessing both Rinnegan would give Sasuke the confidence to face Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
But judging by Tendo Pain's demeanor, a fight seemed inevitable.
"If you want to try, then prepare to die!"
Boom!
Sasuke, now intent on attacking, had no intention of holding back. His first move was aimed at instantly obliterating Tendo Pain.
Lightning erupted from his feet.
Although he hadn't activated the Lightning Release: Godspeed's Shunshin mode.
By discharging electricity, the released lightning briefly enhanced Sasuke's acceleration.
With only ten meters between him and Tendo Pain, the time it took to close the distance was far shorter than even the Godspeed technique.
This allowed for a more unexpected effect.
At the same time, he controlled chakra to burst from his feet, utilizing some aspects of the Body Flicker technique without needing hand seals.
Although not as fast as the true Body Flicker technique.
It had the advantage of being instantly activated without seals.
The ground directly beneath him shattered, as if a bomb had exploded, sending debris flying.
Sasuke's figure shot forward like a bullet, his fist swinging.
Chakra erupted within his body, and with his fist striking out, it appeared right in front of Tendo Pain in the next second.
In that instant, none of the Five Kage could react.
Sasuke had acted without hesitation, his speed so fast it was almost unbelievable.
Even the Fourth Hokage, with his Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated, might not have been able to match such speed.
However, while the initial burst of speed was incredible, as Sasuke approached Tendo Pain, his speed noticeably slowed.
This gave Tendo Pain enough time to react.
The moment the Rinnegan locked onto Sasuke, Shinra Tensei erupted once more!
Yet, unlike before, where Shinra Tensei could repel any attack and send it flying back.
This time, everyone witnessed a different scene...
Sasuke's fist, aimed at Tendo Pain, wasn't repelled.
Instead, it clashed with the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei, the two forces colliding relentlessly.
White light and Sasuke's fist engaged in a fierce struggle.
The light from the chakra explosion burst forth, actually showing signs of suppressing Shinra Tensei.
At this moment, beads of sweat formed on Nagato's forehead.
He quickly glanced at Obito. "Send the Animal Path over!"
At the same time, Nagato took a deep breath and unleashed an even more powerful surge of chakra.
The Shinra Tensei emanating from Tendo Pain intensified.
Boom!
Sasuke's attack was still blocked.
But Sasuke was only pushed back five or six meters, while Tendo Pain slid back over ten meters before coming to a stop.
Seeing this, the Five Kage collectively gasped.
Those who had experienced Shinra Tensei before knew full well the power of this technique.
If it were them, their attacks would have been repelled instantly, yet Sasuke's attack had actually suppressed the technique.
And even... pushed Pain back.
This guy... just how strong was that punch?
Since it didn't directly hit the enemy, the Five Kage couldn't gauge the full extent of Sasuke's strength.
But they all knew that the amount of chakra he had just unleashed was immense.
Moreover, from the way the chakra erupted, it seemed similar to the Hokage's Strength of a Hundred technique.
Did Tsunade teach him that?
They all turned to look at Tsunade, who noticed their gazes.
"Don't look at me, I didn't teach him any techniques!"
Well, if the Hokage herself denied it, it clearly wasn't a joke.
But how did Sasuke have such a technique, resembling the Senju clan's Strength of a Hundred?
And the power... it seemed even stronger than Tsunade, who possessed Senju blood!
"As expected of someone who can awaken the Rinnegan on his own!"
Nagato, controlling Tendo Pain, looked up at Sasuke.
His eyes were filled with shock.
At the same time, a strange vortex appeared beside him.
This time, it was the Animal Path Pain.
Seeing another member of the Akatsuki appear, the expressions of the Five Kage grew even more tense.
