Fugaku and Minato's condition was—dire.

No, perhaps "DIRE" was an understatement.

Gravely wounded, near death, critical—a grim prognosis defined their current state.

Fugaku, determined to witness his Shinobi way with his life, to protect Konoha's Will of Fire, had unleashed his Mangekyō's forbidden techniques, abilities he could use only once—the left eye: Chains of Heaven; the right eye: Thunder Prison.

Chains of Heaven consumed vast amounts of Dōjutsu, causing irreversible damage to his vision. At the cost of sacrificing one of Susanoo's Divine weapons, it manifested as unbreakable chakra chains. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Neither Space-Time Ninjutsu nor physical attacks could sever them.

It bound both himself and his enemy in a deathmatch! Until one was completely incapacitated, the Chains of Heaven would not vanish.

Thunder Prison also consumed vast amounts of Dōjutsu, causing irreversible vision loss. It summoned the power of lightning itself! A devastating barrage would strike in the direction of the Dōjutsu's gaze.

Individually, neither technique was suited for conventional combat.

Setting aside their effectiveness, their use caused irreversible vision loss. Once his sight was gone, even Susanoo would become unusable.

But when combined, these two Dōjutsu became a technique of mutual destruction—a life for a life.

Sacrificing his Susanoo's Tengu armor, he transformed it into the Chains of Heaven, ensnaring Pain and its Susanoo. Then, summoning the lightning, he unleashed the "Thunder Prison: Divine Punishment" upon both Susanoo.

None—shall—survive!

It was said that a Mangekyō's abilities reflected the user's soul, aligning with their strengths. Fugaku Uchiha, burdened by an unpayable debt of gratitude to the advisor, had awakened these ultimate techniques, techniques that embodied the concept of "death cancels all debts."

So—never provoke someone burdened by unpayable debts!

Who knew when their desperate fury might erupt, spilling blood?

Fugaku feared not death, but only the inability to repay his debt of gratitude.

Driven by this resolve for mutual destruction, he had unleashed his eyes' fatal techniques. The raw power of nature punished the two arrogant Susanoo.

A blinding flash of lightning split the night sky, illuminating the darkness like day.

Vision failed; only a deafening roar remained.

The air filled with a pungent, oppressive odor. Raging fires consumed the earth, falling trees igniting more flames, spreading into a sea of fire. Tongues of flame licked the ground, reducing grass, trees, and stones to ash.

Upon the scorched earth, the two God-like Susanoo were no more.

The moment the lightning dragon struck the Susanoo, both the silver Susanoo, raising its Yata Mirror, and the deep blue Susanoo, clad in Tengu armor, were covered in a dense web of cracks.

The Susanoo's impenetrable shells, with a sharp crack, shattered like glass. Their bodies, formed from Dōjutsu and chakra, disintegrated into a shower of chakra fragments...

Simultaneously, as the lightning dragon descended, Minato Namikaze activated his Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting inside Pain's Susanoo, pulling Fugaku from the heart of the lightning storm, saving him from a fiery demise.

As miraculous as evading a Karthus' Requiem with a last-second Flash; as unbelievable as the Flash reaching the other side of the universe in the instant before a god snapped their fingers.

In that moment, Minato Namikaze's speed surpassed even lightning!

The Flying Thunder God was fast, Minato's reflexes were faster, but neither could outpace the fury of the lightning dragon's bite.

The Thunder God's punishment inevitably fell upon them both.

"Pfft~" Minato stumbled, his body swaying, before collapsing, his limbs twitching, blood gushing uncontrollably.

Beneath Minato and Fugaku's Konoha uniforms, white smoke, like that from a certain mobile game character removing their boots, billowed forth.

Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha, fallen, incapacitated, their fighting strength completely extinguished.

Fine raindrops fell upon them, soaking their faces. The wind howled, the rain wept, as if mourning heroes, as if escorting the dead.

Two unseen flames, symbolizing Konoha's Will of Fire, flickered, refusing to be extinguished until life itself was gone.

So—what of Nagato, or rather, Pain?

The moment the lightning dragon struck, Pain clapped its hands, summoning the Animal, Preta, Human, and Asura Paths, along with Satori, before it.

They unleashed their full power, desperately trying to withstand the raw force of nature.

But the result was—disappointing.

Satori was reduced to a charred husk. The Preta Path, after absorbing a massive amount of lightning, overloaded and exploded. The Animal, Human, and Asura Paths suffered the same fate. Akatsuki's technology hadn't included—lightning rods.

The near-perfect Susanoo, after resisting for a few seconds, shattered, falling to dust alongside Fugaku.

Nagato, its manipulator, looked—pathetic. Blood streamed from his orifices, soaking his emaciated body. His chest heaved violently, as if he might collapse at any moment.

But Nagato's eyes gleamed with triumph, a smirk playing on his lips. "Impressive jutsu, but you think—that can kill me?!"

"The Five Paths of Pain, all destroyed. But—as long as this body lives, my judgment—will not cease."

"I will extinguish Konoha's flame, bring eternal darkness to your Village! The darkness within my heart—is deeper than any shadow."

Falls of Truth.

The Naraka Path silently appeared amidst the battlefield ruins. It clapped its hands, and the massive King of Hell materialized behind it. Its tongue shot out, scooping up the five charred puppets and Satori, devouring them.

A moment later, the King of Hell opened its massive maw again. First Pain, then the other four Paths, emerged.

Pain's eyes were cold, devoid of emotion. It floated into the air, looking down at the unconscious Minato and Fugaku. "Your Konoha—is quite beautiful. I think I'll destroy it. So, consider this—your advance notice."

"The lives of so many Konoha Villagers—will be ended by me. Every Konoha Shinobi's dream of fire—is but a flickering candle for me to extinguish. I will use these Divine eyes to exact my vengeance! I will drown every inch of Konoha in blood, pain, and despair!"

Pain began to chant, slowly raising its hands.

Cylindrical openings appeared in its palms, and black chakra receivers, gleaming with a dangerous metallic luster, extended, aiming at the hearts of the fallen Minato and Fugaku.

Swoosh.

Wind, rain, moonlight...

Two fatal black receivers shot towards Minato and Fugaku's hearts.

Suddenly, a playful, magnetic male voice broke the silence of the rainy night. "You say—you want to extinguish Konoha's flame?"

"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue!"

Pain's pupils constricted. It looked towards the source of the voice.

Beneath the heavy, dark clouds, amidst the desolate battlefield ruins, at the end of a narrow stone path, beneath the raging Falls of Truth...

The cold, desolate moon pierced through the storm, illuminating the newcomer.

The hem of his robe swayed gently, the air rippling invisibly around him.

He wore no extraneous adornments, only a black combat uniform and a new-style Konoha Shinobi headband on his arm.

Flowing white hair, resolute eyes—

—radiating a light as unquenchable as a sacred flame.

Wind, rain, cold moon.

Amidst the roar of the Falls of Truth, the man named Gojo Kaigetsu raised his hand. The fatal chakra receivers, accelerating, shot towards him, yet stopped, an infinitesimal distance from his fingers.

Infinite proximity, yet eternally unreachable!

Gojo Kaigetsu's fingertips seemed to devour the surrounding moonlight, a miniature black hole appearing above them.

Then, the black hole expanded, consuming everything—moonlight, rain, wind, chakra—until, at the point of maximum condensation—

"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue!"

Instantly, the chakra receivers were reflected back, several times faster than before. So fast, even Pain couldn't react. The sharp black rods pierced its body.

Under the terrifying repulsive force, Pain's body was flung backward by the receivers, impaled against the rock wall behind it.

Like a crucified martyr.

Only then did Pain react, controlling the black receivers to withdraw from its body. It stared intently at the three figures emerging from the waterfall. Such a fatal, piercing wound—was insignificant to a puppet body.

But to be so suddenly, so humiliatingly defeated—Pain, the self-proclaimed god, its face darkened.

The three figures emerging from the waterfall—

To Gojo Kaigetsu's right...

Kushina Uzumaki, cloaked in the golden Nine-Tails chakra Nagato so desperately craved. Her eyes blazed with anger and darkness—a pair of crimson Mangekyō stared at Pain, their oppressive aura like a physical weight, suffocating.

Though prepared to capture the jinchuriki, Nagato hadn't expected her to possess the Mangekyō Sharingan, to exude such terrifying pressure.

Where did those eyes come from? The question echoed in Nagato's mind.
