Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

Lao Zi slowly stood up from the pit. The chakra in his body suddenly surged violently, and two thick lava tails slowly stretched out from behind him.

Staring at Nagato who had blasted him away, Lao Zi's eyes flashed with a hint of animalistic madness.

Lao Zi let out a shocking roar, his whole body was wrapped by the more powerful melting energy of the four-tailed Sun Wukong, he kicked hard with his feet, and instantly jumped into the sky.

"Melting Escape-Undersea Needle!"

Like a meteor falling to the ground, Lao Zi's body turned into a drill made of crazily rotating lava, and smashed towards the Nagato trio below.

"Get out of the way!"

At this time, Nagato, who had just released Shinra Tenzheng, was in a state where the old power had gone and the new power had not yet arisen. Facing Lao Zi's violent offensive, he was temporarily unable to make an effective response, so he had to pull Yahiko and Konan to escape this wave of attacks.

"boom!"

The rapidly rotating lava crashed into the ground, and the scorching hot magma suddenly erupted as the earth trembled, turning the surrounding area into a magma lake.

"Melting Escape-Huaguo Mountain!"

Lao Zi jumped out of the lava with a ferocious expression, crossed his arms, and slammed the ground in the direction of Nagato and the others.

Nagato tensed up when he saw Lao Zi's movements. He was about to prepare for the incoming attacks, but found that nothing happened except the slight vibration on the ground.

While in a daze, Nagato felt a sudden violent chakra fluctuation coming from the ground beneath his feet. Nagato was immediately frightened, subconsciously grabbed Yahiko and Konan, and threw them out.

"Get out of here!"

"Boom!"

The next moment, the ground under Nagato suddenly opened huge gaps, and the hot magma erupted like a volcano, submerging Nagato's figure.

"Nagato!"

Yahiko helped Konan stumble to the ground. When he looked up and saw Nagato being submerged in magma, he was shocked to the point of splitting his liver and gallbladder.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

Nagato's voice came from the magma, and Shinra Tenzheng's power exploded instantly, sending the magma around him flying away.

Yahiko saw Nagato's figure reappearing, and before he could show his joyful expression, his expression suddenly changed.

Nagato released Shinra Tenzheng indiscriminately out of desperation. Although he successfully bounced away all the magma around him, the terrifying repulsive force did not disappear because of the obstruction of the magma.

A large amount of magma was wrapped in the repulsive force and flew towards Yahiko and Konan overwhelmingly.

"Xonan, be careful!"

Yahiko shouted, and he only had time to protect Konan, who was looking frightened, in his arms, before he was thrown away by the repulsive force of Shinra Tenzheng, and was thrown far away on the ground where he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

When Nagato looked at Yahiko and Konan, who were accidentally injured by him, his body suddenly felt like it was struck by lightning and froze in place.

"Yahiko! Konan!"

"how so?"

Nagato's eyes widened in horror, and he ran desperately towards the place where Yahiko and Konan fell.

But how could Lao Zi, who had already been stunned by the battle, let them go so easily?

Lao Zi let out a crazy roar, and his body slowly transformed into a tailed beast under the chakra of the four tails.

"Melting Escape - Burning River Spits Fire!"

The huge body of the four tails jumped high, and a pair of slender ape arms crashed to the ground.

The ground shook, and a series of volcanoes emerged from the ground in front of the four tails, spreading towards the place where Yahiko and Konan fell to the ground.

Nagato's eyes suddenly burst with tears, he stretched out his hand and pointed it at the two of them, releasing the gravity in his hand.

"All things are inspired by heaven!"

Yahiko and Konan, who fell far away, were pulled back to Nagato by gravity. Nagato stretched out his hand to take the two of them into his arms. The ground was suddenly shaken by the emerging volcano. Nagato lost his balance and immediately rolled to the ground with the two of them.

Nagato ignored the wounds on his body that were burned by the high-temperature gravel. He got up from the ground and rushed to his two most important partners.

"Yahiko! Konan!"

"How are you doing? Wake up!"

Konan was shaken by Nagato and faintly woke up in Yahiko's arms.

"Nagato."

Nagato looked happy when he saw Konan woke up, and quickly turned to look at Yahiko.

Yahiko's face was pale and his eyes were tightly closed. As Konan woke up in his arms, Yahiko's arm around Konan slowly dropped down as if it had completed some mission.

Nagato's eyes flashed with fear, and he stretched out his trembling hand to gently lift Yahiko's body.

The next moment, the large hole corroded by magma on Yahiko's back caught Nagato's eyes. The yellowed bones roasted by the high temperature are exposed, and through the gaps in the bones, the slightly squirming internal organs can be faintly seen.

Nagato stared blankly at Yahiko's back, and an indescribable panic grew in Nagato's heart.

The man he had always regarded as his brother was killed by him with his own hands!

Konan sat up from Yahiko's arms and looked at the wound on Yahiko's back tremblingly. A huge fear suddenly appeared in Konan's heart.

"Yahiko."

"Wake up! Don't scare me!"

"Open your eyes and look at me!"

The tears in Xiaonan's eyes were like broken beads, dripping down continuously.

"Crack! Crack!"

Tears dripped on Yahiko's flesh and blood that had been burned by the magma, making a slight chirping sound as the water vapor evaporated. Yahiko let out a painful groan, and his eyelids trembled and he slowly opened them.

"Xiaonan."

"I'm so glad you're okay!"

Yahiko's weak voice sounded, instantly waking up the two people who were trapped in grief. Looking at Yahiko waking up, Nagato and Konan felt a huge surprise suddenly filling their hearts.

"Yahiko, you're awake!"

"I thought. I thought"

"Woo."

Konan looked at Yahiko, so surprised that he couldn't even finish his words. Unable to help but bury her head on his chest, she started to cry.

Yahiko shook his head gloomily, turned his gaze to Nagato, who looked guilty, and gave a forced smile.

"Nagato."

Nagato nodded hurriedly and said:

"I'm here! I'm here!"

"Yahiko, I'm sorry!"

"It's all my fault, me"

Yahiko shook his head and looked at Nagato calmly.

"it does not matter!"

"I know you haven't fully mastered the power of these eyes yet, you were just careless!"

"I won't blame you!"

"After all, you and Xiaonan are my most important partners, just like my younger brothers!"

Yahiko panted for a while, then raised his hand tiredly and put it on Nagato's shoulder.

"Nagato, listen to me!"

"I probably won't survive. Xiaonan will be left to you to take care of me from now on."

"If you see the teacher, say sorry for me."

"I can't follow the teacher and see the day of peace in the ninja world with him!"

"Ahem!"

Yahiko seemed to want to finish everything at once, and kept talking in one breath. He couldn't help coughing twice, but he didn't cough up a drop of blood.

The blood in his body had been almost completely evaporated by the high-temperature magma.

Nagato burst into tears and shook his head.

"no, I can not!"

"Yahiko, you won't die!"

"I won't let you die!"

"I still have the Samsara Eye! I can save you!"
