Naruto: Swarm System

"Shishou."

Seeing Shishou pierced by the Truth-Seeking Ball, Yugito and the others cried out in alarm from a distance.

Hyuga Rimei was about to activate her Tenseigan Mode to rescue him but was stopped by Tsunade, who said firmly, "Shishou won't be defeated so easily."

Hearing Tsunade's words, Hyuga Rimei relaxed her hands from forming seals.

On the other side.

Nagato, seeing that the Truth-Seeking Ball had merely pierced Shishou's body without passing through, remarked in surprise, "The armor formed by your sage energy has impressive defensive capabilities."

His Truth-Seeking Ball spiral spear could only pierce slightly, showing the formidable defense of Shishou's armor.

Shishou smiled, "This is the Vajra Sage Art, a secret technique of the White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave, capable of withstanding the Truth-Seeking Balls."

"Indeed."

Nagato nodded, placing his hand on Shishou's armor. "However, if the sage energy concentration in this armor decreases, it should no longer be able to resist the Truth-Seeking Balls."

After several rounds of combat, Nagato understood that sage energy could counter the Truth-Seeking Balls. If he could absorb the sage energy from Shishou's armor, he could kill him.

Hearing this, Shishou placed his hand on Nagato, smiling, "But before that, I have a big gift for you."

Upon hearing this, Nagato thrust his Truth-Seeking Ball spear further, piercing through Shishou.

At the same time, numerous phosphorescent bugs emerged from Shishou's hand, entering Nagato's body.

Shishou had allowed Nagato to grab him to exchange injuries and use the phosphorescent bugs for a fatal attack.

"Ugh!!"

Both Shishou and Nagato groaned in pain.

Nagato endured the agony of the phosphorescent bugs devouring his body and activated his Truth-Seeking Ball for a killing blow.

However, in the next second, Shishou's figure turned into an illusion and disappeared.

Nagato frowned, raising his hand to unleash a Six Paths Almighty Push.

Boom!

The Shishou who was about to launch a sneak attack was instantly blown away.

Nagato used the Asura Path to sever the part of his body consumed by Shishou's phosphorescent bugs, looking at the reappearing, uninjured Shishou, and said in a deep voice, "Genjutsu? No, it shouldn't be genjutsu. That was the real you."

Shishou laughed, "Indeed, that was my real body, but I turned him into an illusion."

When he used the Wood Dragon earlier, the seals he made were not for the Wood Dragon but for Izanagi.

Although Shishou believed he could defeat Nagato with the Great Katsuyu Sage's help, he replaced his left eye with an ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan as a precaution, using it as a resurrection coin.

Of course, with his Uchiha bloodline and current strength, he could maintain five minutes of invincibility with a three-tomoe Sharingan, five times longer than Danzo.

After that, the three-tomoe Sharingan would go blind and be completely useless.

Seeing the part of Nagato's body he had severed, Shishou sighed. Even with Izanagi, he had only managed to implant the phosphorescent bugs in Nagato, causing no significant damage.

Nagato's Six Paths abilities, supported by his Six Paths power, were indeed formidable.

Thinking of this, Shishou said to Nagato, "Nagato, you can't beat me. Continuing to fight will only benefit others."

As soon as Shishou finished speaking, the Great Katsuyu Sage, who had been blown away, returned to his side, standing with him against Nagato.

Hearing Shishou's persuasion, Nagato raised his hands expressionlessly and said, "I want to see how many times you can use that technique."

Universal Pull!

As Nagato spoke, Shishou's body was once again grabbed and pulled towards him, and this time, even the Great Katsuyu Sage wasn't spared.

Shishou sighed and created another layer of Diamond Armor around himself.

The Great Katsuyu Sage stepped in front of Shishou, allowing the Truth-Seeking Ball spear to pierce through her first.

In the next second, the Great Katsuyu Sage's body turned into liquid, forming a water sphere that enveloped Nagato.

Sage Art: Water Seal!

The Great Katsuyu Sage emerged from the water sphere, releasing countless sealing runes to restrict Nagato's movements.

Shishou, wielding the Kusanagi Sword, charged at the water sphere with a blade imbued with sage energy.

Nagato's eyes twitched as he gathered his Six Paths power.

Six Paths: Almighty Push!

An invisible repulsive barrier expanded from Nagato, shattering the water sphere and sending Shishou and the Great Katsuyu Sage flying again.

Nagato then raised his hand towards the Great Katsuyu Sage.

Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei!

Countless seawater boiled, rushing towards the flying Great Katsuyu Sage, forming an enormous water sphere in the air.

The Great Katsuyu Sage reverted to her massive original form, bursting the water sphere.

In the next second, dozens of black rods were thrown by Nagato, piercing the Great Katsuyu Sage's body to disrupt her chakra.

However, the Great Katsuyu Sage's body wavered, and the black rods fell out, flying away.

While the Great Katsuyu Sage's attack power wasn't strong, her abilities to liquefy, split, heal, and maintain vast amounts of sage chakra made her highly resistant to damage.

She might not defeat other Six Paths-level individuals, but they couldn't significantly harm her either, perfectly embodying the concept of a stalemate at the Six Paths level.

Seeing his attacks ineffective against the Great Katsuyu Sage, Nagato frowned.

He then summoned the Six Paths of Pain and created a clone to restrain the Great Katsuyu Sage while he charged at Shishou.

Seeing Nagato approaching, Shishou wielded his sword, continuously using Izanagi to exchange blows with Nagato.

When the time for Izanagi was nearly up, he used the Flying Thunder God technique to return to the Great Katsuyu Sage's side, planning to replace his spent Sharingan under her protection.

Since he couldn't cause significant damage to Nagato, he intended to wear him down.

However, as soon as he appeared beside the Great Katsuyu Sage, Nagato's Universal Pull grabbed him, pulling him towards Nagato again before he could replace the Sharingan.

Shishou quickly formed several layers of Diamond Armor around himself and created dozens of shadow clones to attack Nagato, breaking his concentration and escaping the Universal Pull.

"Hm?"

In the next second, Shishou's body suddenly froze in mid-air, unable to move.

Feeling the strange sensation around him, Shishou frowned. Even in Sage Mode, he could clearly sense an invisible presence restraining him.

This jutsu is—

Limbo: Border Jail!
