Flower of the Celestial Origin

Chapter 172 Night Carnival

Jiraiya was deeply moved, "Nagato... you..." Nagato was indeed the Child of Prophecy, undoubtedly, both Nagato and Naruto were the Children of Prophecy who brought peace to the world. He was fortunate to have taken in these two disciples in his lifetime.

Onoki: "Really, young people these days are getting more and more arrogant. For the ninja world, I'll join too. Don't blame us for ganging up on you!"

Gaara: "Everyone, retreat! Leave this to us!" Gaara was rational, shouting for the ordinary ninjas to stay away to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Li Xing smiled faintly, putting on a pair of gloves. "Ganging up on someone doesn't exist for me. No matter how many of you there are, you can't defeat me. This is confidence!"

"Almighty Push!"

Nagato made the first move, directly using the Heavenly Path's skill to try and pull Li Xing towards him.

Li Xing stomped his foot, and a wave of energy nullified Nagato's Almighty Push. Then, he unleashed a punch, and a powerful pressure swept forward.

Gaara raised his hand, and a sand wall appeared before everyone. However, the sand wall couldn't defend against Li Xing's punch. It was Nagato who stepped forward, holding it with one hand, barely resisting the force with Almighty Push.

"Tsunade's monstrous strength, this kid has completely surpassed Tsunade..." Jiraiya murmured.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

"Summoning Jutsu!"

Jiraiya and Nagato simultaneously used Summoning Jutsu. Jiraiya summoned Katsuyu, while Nagato summoned many others, including Chameleon, Crab, Bull, and Hell Hound.

"Quantity doesn't mean anything. Sage Art, Wind Style, Great Dragon Twister!"

Li Xing clapped his hands, and four massive tornadoes appeared from all around, attacking Nagato's summoned beasts. Katsuyu and Jiraiya seized the opportunity to charge towards Li Xing.

At the same time, the Tsuchikage Onoki flew over rapidly, his fist imbued with rock, followed by Gaara's sand.

Li Xing spread his arms, one hand blocking Katsuyu's trident, the other grabbing Onoki's rock. Gaara's sand, however, wrapped around Li Xing's body.

"Sage Art, Lightning Style, Kenmitsukami!"

Suddenly, a figure emanating lightning appeared from Li Xing's body. With a single wave of its hand, it neutralized the attacks from the three individuals. Katsuyu abandoned its weapon and quickly retreated with Jiraiya. Onoki also used a Rock Clone substitution.

Next, Kenmitsukami held a lightning spear in its hand and hurled it forward. Nagato teleported in front of everyone, a shield of light appearing around him, absorbing Li Xing's lightning release.

"What is this ninjutsu? Its power is so immense? And that wind release, it's Sage Art." Jiraiya wondered. Where did Li Xing learn these ninjutsu? He was just an ordinary person with no kekkei genkai, yet he had saved him from Pain, and now he was fighting four opponents without falling behind.

In reality, Li Xing was merely controlling lightning to attack. As long as Li Xing wished, any form could appear. He had simply chosen a more pleasant-sounding name.

"Hey! Hey! This level isn't enough to seal me! Nagato, use your ultimate move!" Li Xing shouted with a smile, urging them to give him a challenge.

"Wind Style, Wind Scythe!"

Temari swung her large fan from the side, and a gust of wind struck, tearing more than a dozen gashes into Li Xing's clothes.

Li Xing turned his head slightly. "Miss Temari, must you be so ruthless? Attacking with killing intent right away. You don't still hold a grudge for me injuring your brother, do you?"

"Yes, I haven't settled the score for you injuring Kankuro yet!" Temari placed her fan behind her back, striking a heroic pose.

"Women really hold grudges!" Li Xing smiled and snapped his fingers. From his center, the sand on the ground began to freeze, spreading rapidly. It was something ordinary people could never dodge.

"Absolute Zero!"

"Be careful!" Gaara quickly pulled Temari back. Katsuyu jumped backward, and Onoki ascended into the sky. Only Nagato remained in place.

"Preta Path!"

However, this was not a ninjutsu. Nagato's attempt to absorb it was impossible. In an instant, Nagato was frozen solid.

"Cannot absorb, isn't it a ninjutsu?"

Even with a reanimated body, Nagato couldn't withstand such extreme cold. This coldness was enough to freeze the soul.

Everyone present realized this move was absolutely untouchable. Touching it would result in instant death. Even from a distance, and with Gaara's sand defense, everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Only those under Edo Tensei could barely endure it.

"Almighty Push!"

Nagato used Almighty Push with all his might to break free from the ice's embrace, scattering the ice blocks on the ground. Before the ice blocks could land, Jiraiya and Katsuyu used Frog Oil Fireball to melt them. However, the fire couldn't even scorch them. It was Gaara who used his sand to wrap the ice and throw it far away, preventing casualties among the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Nagato felt that this couldn't continue and that Li Xing had to be sealed. Li Xing's strength was too bizarre. If this continued, his side might be annihilated. He clapped his hands, and once again, centered on Li Xing, a gravitational pull even stronger than Almighty Push emanated.

"Chibaku Tensei!"

Li Xing fell for this move again, being squeezed into the air. Sand and rocks from below continuously flew towards his body, quickly forming a giant sphere of sand.

"Kazekage! Quickly cover it with your sand!" Nagato shouted, thinking a sealing jutsu was also needed, otherwise, Li Xing might break free again.

"Sand Burial Seal!" Gaara understood and immediately enveloped Chibaku Tensei with all his sand, and then added nearly a hundred sealing tags to completely seal the entire Chibaku Tensei.

"Nagato's Chibaku Tensei this time is much stronger than before. The restraining force has more than doubled. I can feel another layer of seal outside." Li Xing was completely immobilized this time, only his consciousness could move.

"Then let my Dust Release finish him!" Onoki clasped his hands, and then opened them, revealing a white frame in his hand. Just as he was about to finish Li Xing, Jiraiya stopped him.

"This child is Tsunade's disciple, and also my junior. Moreover, he once saved me. I believe he has only strayed temporarily, just like Nagato in the past. Let's seal him for now and deal with him after the war."

Onoki didn't want to listen. Li Xing was an enemy now, a potential great threat to the Allied Shinobi Forces. He could not be soft-hearted. Just as he was about to act again, Gaara also stepped forward, persuading Onoki not to act, as he also had some connection with Li Xing.

"Hmph! Do as you please! I don't care anymore!" Onoki saw that even Gaara had said so, and immediately canceled his Dust Release and flew back to his tent, unwilling to speak with anyone else. The old man was quite tsundere.

This battle ended. Others returned to clean up the battlefield and report the events to the Allied Forces Headquarters. Since Nagato was reanimated by Li Xing, Kabuto had no right to retrieve him. He took the opportunity to go chat with Jiraiya.

Meanwhile, Temari looked at the sand sphere in the sky, lost in thought. She then shook her head and sighed.

However, Karin, far from the battlefield, suddenly couldn't sense Li Xing's chakra anymore. Forgetting to send Fū back, she quickly pulled Yugito and flew towards the scene.

"Yugito! Karin! Where are you going? Wait for me!" Fū called out to her two friends who were suddenly leaving in a hurry, thinking something major had happened, and quickly spread her wings to follow the two.
