After killing Kisame Hoshigaki, Guy didn't attack again. It wasn't that he didn't want to—he was already dead.
Yes, from the moment he killed Sasori and swung his fist at Kisame, Guy was already dead.
In other words, Guy's death actually preceded Kisame's. The force of his punch, after his death, was what killed Kisame.
Opening the Eight Inner Gates had already crippled Guy's body. This time, opening the Eighth Gate, he only lasted three seconds before his body gave out and he died.
From the moment Guy used the Eight Gates Formation to his final death, only three seconds passed. But in those three seconds, he had eliminated Pain, Kisame, and Sasori.
If he had lasted another three seconds, the other Akatsuki members, except perhaps Obito, would have all died there.
No, Shin would have been fine. Technically, Shin was also a member of the Akatsuki.
"Sigh, he still died."
Shin shook his head with a sigh. Honestly, even if someone was dead, Shin could revive them.
Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki had been able to revive Naruto and Sasuke. Shin, naturally, had that ability too, and without using the Rinne Rebirth technique.
But Shin wouldn't revive Might Guy again. Saving him once was enough.
Now that Guy was dead, perhaps it was his destiny.
Well, actually, according to the original story, Guy wouldn't have died. But since Shin came to this world, the world had to follow the changes he brought.
"If I'm not mistaken, Nagato should be heading over now."
Shin smiled faintly and continued watching the show from the Hokage Rock. The good part wasn't over yet.
Pain had been obliterated, not even a speck of dust remaining, but Nagato wasn't dead. And Nagato would definitely come.
Nagato valued Yahiko too much. Now that Yahiko's body was gone, Shin believed Nagato would go berserk.
Sure enough, not long after, Nagato stormed over from outside Konoha, his entire being radiating a violent aura.
"You're Nagato?" Jiraiya wiped the blood from his mouth, looking at the approaching Nagato, barely recognizing him.
He hadn't expected Nagato to become . He remembered the once-introverted but handsome Nagato. How had he turned into this skeletal, demonic figure?
Looking at Nagato now, he truly resembled a demon crawled out of hell.
His life force had been drained, leaving him emaciated. Combined with his long-time hiding in dark places, his skin was unnaturally pale.
With his ferocious expression, he was truly terrifying, no different from a demon.
"Who was that just now?" Nagato asked Jiraiya fiercely.
Jiraiya looked at the ferocious Nagato. He knew Nagato was asking about Guy, the one who destroyed Pain.
But Jiraiya didn't intend to tell him. If he did, even if Guy was already dead, Nagato would definitely desecrate his body.
"Nagato, I don't know why you've become , but I hope you can come to your senses."
Jiraiya said to Nagato earnestly.
In Jiraiya's heart, Nagato wasn't a bad person, nor was he suited to be one. Something must have happened to make him this way.
Jiraiya vaguely guessed it had something to do with Yahiko's death.
"Since you won't talk, then you can be destroyed along with Konoha." Nagato looked at Jiraiya coldly, then unhesitatingly used Super Shinra Tensei.
He no longer cared about anything in Konoha, not even the Akatsuki members. Yahiko's body was destroyed; Konoha had to pay.
With Nagato at the center, a destructive repulsive force flattened Konoha's buildings in an instant. Countless people died.
After flattening Konoha with Super Shinra Tensei, Nagato didn't stop. He immediately used Chibaku Tensei.
The rubble of Konoha was quickly drawn towards a gravitational sphere in the sky, including the corpses of Konoha ninja, forming a small planet.
Not a large planet, maybe only about a dozen kilometers in diameter, but its deterrent force was immense.
Compared to the moon, it was indeed not very large.
But to the survivors of Konoha, this was the Sword of Damocles, ready to destroy them at any moment.
"NAGATO!" Jiraiya stood up in pain.
Jiraiya hadn't died, and he had resisted the gravitational pull of Chibaku Tensei. But looking at the planet, dozens of kilometers in size, in front of him, Jiraiya was terrified.
If it fell, the villagers who had taken refuge behind the Hokage Rock would also die. Konoha would cease to exist.
The ground of Konoha had been scraped clean, countless people dead.
"Nagato killed more people this time than I did in the Shinobi World War." Shin couldn't help but remark.
Those who hadn't reached the shelters were dead. Not even ninja could withstand that attack, let alone civilians.
Konoha, this time, could be said to be wiped off the map. Unless Nagato, like in the original story, revived everyone he had killed.
But that was impossible. In the original story, it was a bit absurd; Nagato didn't have the ability to revive so many people.
Though reviving someone shortly after death consumed less energy, how many people had died?
Including civilians, it was no exaggeration to say at least tens of thousands. Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't revive all of them.
"Sages, you should go back," Jiraiya said to Fukasaku and Shima.
"Little Jiraiya, you should go too. You can still save your life with the Reverse Summoning Technique," Shima said to Jiraiya.
"No. I will live and die with Konoha."
Jiraiya closed his eyes. He couldn't live with the shame of Konoha being destroyed during his reign. The once-great Konoha was gone just like that.
He had no face to live on. He might as well die here.
Nagato controlled Chibaku Tensei, bringing it crashing down on Konoha, as if to completely annihilate everything.
Actually, besides the villagers and ninja still in the shelters, there was nothing left of Konoha.
"Has Nagato lost his mind?" Obito's face was grim. He held an unconscious person in his hand.
It was Kakashi Hatake. If Obito hadn't saved him, Kakashi would have died in the earlier Super Shinra Tensei.
Obito didn't know why, but when he saw Kakashi in danger, he had subconsciously saved him. Even though he hated Kakashi, he still saved him.
Perhaps Kakashi was Obito's true love... and Rin Nohara was just an accident.
