Below the Tower of Solarity, on the Cliffside
At this moment, over a dozen Anbu were engaged in a fierce battle against six ferocious giant hounds.
Capturing them alive without causing harm proved to be a challenge.
These monstrous hounds were far more aggressive and powerful than ordinary summoned beasts, making it difficult for even a team of skilled Anbu to subdue them.
Worse yet, they accidentally allowed the creatures to split into two more.
Just then, a black shadow streaked through the sky like a flash, striking with devastating speed.
In an instant, the six giant hounds were pierced clean through, their blood spraying into the air.
The Anbu were shocked.
They had been warned—these hounds were enhanced through summoning techniques.
No matter how much damage they took, they would only multiply instead of being defeated.
The Anbu captain was about to reprimand the unknown attacker for acting recklessly, but then he caught sight of the figure standing in the sky.
"It's the Hokage… Lord Hokage!"
The black shadow flew back into Makoto's hand—a pitch-black sphere that hovered in his palm for a moment before slowly dissipating.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, the injured hounds did not multiply as expected.
Instead, they vanished into thin air with puffs of white smoke.
"The summoning technique has been dispelled…?"
"T-Thank you, Lord Hokage!" The Anbu captain was the first to snap out of his shock, dropping to one knee in deference.
"This is our failure. We've troubled you, Lord Hokage."
The rest of the Anbu quickly followed suit, kneeling in respect.
Makoto, still floating in midair, issued a command: "Go to the Mechanical Science Research Institute. Have Tonokawa send a team to repair the control room of the Tower of Solarity."
"Yes, sir!"
With the matter settled, Makoto ascended higher into the air, heading directly for the damaged control room of the Tower of Solarity.
Surveying the completely ruined electronic equipment and shattered display screens, Makoto narrowed his eyes.
He hadn't expected the Rinnegan to be immune to some of the Tower of Solarity's functions.
But upon further thought, considering it was the Rinnegan, it wasn't all that surprising.
Makoto approached the Tenseigan weapon and placed his hand on its surface.
In an instant, the massive Tenseigan radiated a dazzling golden light, shooting a yellow beam into the sky.
The beam then spread out, forming a golden barrier that enveloped the entire Konoha Village.
..............
At the Tailed Beast Energy Station on the Village Perimeter
The station's supervisor looked up at the sky, watching as the pale yellow light reappeared.
"The Tower of Solarity has been restored. We can deactivate the backup barrier."
Moments ago, the village had barely withstood a direct hit from a Tailed Beast Bomb, consuming an enormous amount of energy.
That energy cost money—so much money!
The supervisor clutched his head in distress.
"What the hell is Hyuga Shimizu doing?! He can't even guard a single Tower of Solarity properly!"
............
Meanwhile, on the Other Side of the Cliff
Kakashi was locked in a fierce battle with Nagato.
After suffering several heavy blows, Kakashi had begun to grasp his opponent's abilities.
It seemed Nagato could manipulate both repulsive and attractive forces—capable of pushing away any physical or ninjutsu attacks while also pulling objects toward himself.
However, this power appeared to have certain limitations.
It couldn't be used continuously and required intervals between activations.
Having figured this out, Kakashi, despite sustaining significant injuries, switched to a more aggressive stance.
The battle became more evenly matched, and with his formidable taijutsu skills, he even managed to suppress Nagato at times.
However, Kakashi could clearly sense that his opponent still had energy to spare—he simply wasn't interested in prolonging the fight.
Just as Kakashi was pondering how he could achieve victory, he suddenly felt a familiar chakra signature rapidly approaching from the distance.
Nagato sensed it as well.
This chakra made no effort to conceal its overwhelming power—and it was extremely familiar.
Both of them instinctively looked toward the sky.
"Lord Hokage!" Kakashi was the first to speak.
Makoto spoke calmly, "You're in quite a sorry state, Kakashi. It seems I still need to adjust the Kite Seal on you. Right now, you can't move like Guy does."
Kakashi exhaled in relief. "I failed to protect the Tower of Solarity"
"It's not your fault. After all, your opponent is the Rinnegan."
—The Rinnegan…
Both Kakashi and Nagato were stunned.
Kakashi had known from the start that Amegakure was behind this, and while he had already suspected something, hearing it confirmed still shook him.
He had just been fighting against the Rinnegan!
Nagato was shocked that his opponent had seen through his identity so easily.
Makoto gazed down at the black-robed figure on the rooftop and spoke calmly, "Nagato, are you going to surrender quietly, or do I have to make a move?"
—The Hokage, Hyuga Makoto.
Nagato swallowed, his mind racing.
This was Konoha.
If the Hokage took action, he would soon be facing an overwhelming number of enemies.
—Escape!
Just as he lowered his stance slightly, preparing to launch himself into the air and flee—
Boom!
In an instant, a powerful storm erupted around Nagato, centered directly on him.
The most immediate effect was a chaotic swirl of air currents, dust, and debris flying wildly in all directions!
Nagato's entire body froze in place—he couldn't move at all.
At that moment, he felt everything around him thrown into complete disarray!
The energy field, the gravitational forces—everything had been thrown into utter chaos.
Powerful forces tugged violently at his body, and in the next moment, his black cloak was shredded into pieces!
Even his chakra felt as if it had been submerged in a swamp—completely immobilized.
The deafening sonic booms from the turbulent air struck his eardrums relentlessly.
Panic surged within Nagato—this… this was complete powerlessness!
He tried to activate the Rinnegan, tried to use Shinra Tensei, but without the ability to manipulate even a sliver of chakra—it was impossible.
This was power!
Gravity and repulsion—just like the Rinnegan, it could control forces.
Forces from all directions surged around Nagato, rendering him completely immobile—even threatening to tear his body apart!
At that moment, Nagato even began to doubt—could his opponent also possess the Rinnegan?
Finally, under the relentless agony, Nagato could endure no more and lost consciousness.
Makoto dissipated the storm.
The Tenseigan had a technique called Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, which manipulated gravitational and repulsive forces to generate a powerful tornado.
Makoto had refined this technique.
Kakashi swallowed hard as he watched his once formidable opponent get defeated by Makoto in a single move.
—Just one move!
Makoto turned to him. "Take him back."
"Yes, sir!" Kakashi immediately bowed in response.
After dealing with Nagato, Makoto left.
Upon confirming that Amegakure would intervene in the operation to rescue Jiraiya, Makoto had altered his plans.
Minato had to be captured.
Amegakure would also have to pay the price.
When these intruders first entered the village to cause chaos, Makoto had not acted immediately—he was waiting for Maruboshi Kosuke's report.
Would the targets be captured alive, or executed on the spot?
Makoto was flying rapidly through the sky, and in just a few seconds, he arrived at the outskirts of Konoha.
This was a training ground, surrounded by a dense forest that extended into the wilderness beyond the village.
If not for the presence of the barrier, movement in and out of this area would go unnoticed.
Below, Minato and Jiraiya were troubled over the barrier when they suddenly sensed something.
Their heads snapped upward toward the sky.
Makoto descended slowly, landing a short distance away from them.
"Hyuga Makoto!"
Minato's fists clenched tightly, his eyes burning with endless hatred.
