Hinata and Pain's High-Speed Offensive and Defensive Battle

Using the Asura Path's attack as bait, while simultaneously blocking vision, and then having the Animal Path cut in from the air to get close to Hinata and the others... this could very well be a targeted kill!

However, Nagato, who controlled the Six Paths of Pain, must have known very well that this level of sneak attack was ineffective against Hinata, who possessed the Byakugan.

"Pervy Sage, come up here!"

Hinata shouted a warning, her Byakugan fixed on the five Pain opposite her, in case Pain tried anything else.

The highly concentrated Chakra condensed once more, and the head of the Asura Path spread outwards like flower petals, revealing the metal machinery inside. A deep blue light rapidly gathered at the top of the brain.

Laser cannon!

Hinata remembered this move.

In the Original Story Hokage manga, Pain used this technique to severely injure the Six-Tails Jinchuriki. Even Killer B, the Eight-Tails, felt the threat of death when facing this attack.

"Using the Animal Path as a lure, but is the Asura Path the real killing move?"

Hinata quickly analyzed the situation in her mind.

If the missiles from the Asura Path and the Animal Path are both decoys, then the laser cannon from the Asura Path can indeed launch a surprise attack.

However, this only applies to ordinary ninjas, and does not include Hinata, who possesses the Byakugan.

To counter a ninja with Dōjutsu, if you can't block their perception, the best way is to be as fast as Rock Lee and Sasuke in their first battle during the Chunin Ninja Exams the Original Story—so fast that the opponent's body can't react.

"Unresponsive?"

Hinata was startled, but Jiraiya been reminded by Hinata, was already preparing to intercept the Animal Path that was cutting in from the air.

Byakugan's gaze swept quickly across the Animal Path, Animal Path had already begun Hand Seals.

That seal is actually Summoning Technique!

Before she could even warn her, Hinata instantly unfurled her Chakra wings, unleashing a burst of Chakra from her feet, and flew towards the Animal Path at top speed. With a flick of her right palm, Spiral Light Ray ripped through the sky, striking the Animal Path in mid-air almost instantly.

The Animal Path was powerless to resist, and half of its body was reduced to dust in an instant.

'Whoosh!'

A streak of azure light flashed across the ground!

The Asura Path's laser cannon fired directly, its target being Jiraiya was of little value to Akatsuki.

"Pervy Sage!!!"

Hinata and Naruto only had time to shout before they could only watch helplessly Jiraiya was hit head-on by the laser cannon.

'Boom boom boom—'

The flames from the explosion instantly engulfed Jiraiya, and Hinata quickly flew down from the sky to block Naruto was trying to rush over.

"Naruto, don't worry! It's just Shadow Clone, the Pervy Sage is fine!"

Pain's attack this time was indeed brilliant. He first used the Asura Path's missiles to lure the enemy, then the Deva Path took the opportunity to use repulsive force to launch the Animal Path into the air, while the Asura Path gathered its killing move at this moment.

At this time, the Asura Path can launch an attack directly from the ground, or it can be summoned by the Animal Path to attack from the air.

With his swift luring and two attack modes, even though Hinata could see through Pain's attacks, it was too late for her to warn him.

This means that Jiraiya and Naruto, who were unable to Pain's attack, were almost certain to be hit.

Unfortunately, Pain chose to attack Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was, after all, one of the Legendary Sannin, and had participated in the Second and Third Shinobi War Second Shinobi World War, possessing rich combat experience.

When Jiraiya saw Hinata fly out to intercept the Animal Path, he already realized something was wrong.

However, Jiraiya knew very well that Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and Pain would never attack Naruto easily. Hinata, on the other hand, was powerful enough to protect herself even if she fell into a trap.

Therefore, the only target Pain could attack was Jiraiya.

With a simple Shadow Clone, he easily thwarted Pain's carefully planned pinpoint attack.

As a result, Pain lost his Animal Path, his ability to communicate with spirits, and his flexible tactics.

Remembering that the Hell Path could revive other Pain, Hinata quickly struck out with her Air Palm, shattering the Animal Path into dust before it even hit the ground.

There's not even any scum left, so let's see how you revive now?

Hinata 'Byakugan flashed, and upon sensing Jiraiya's location, Hinata immediately shouted, "Naruto!"

Alright! Naruto doesn't have any ranged attack abilities yet, so we can't count on him in this battle!

Hinata placed her hands on her waist to gather strength, then simultaneously unleashed two beams of Chakra Ray swirled together and shot towards Pain in a spiral shape.

Deva Path Pain had already become aware of Hinata to attack.

"Another attack that cannot be absorbed?"

The Deva Path Dao's eyes flickered slightly, and he aimed one of the Pain with his hand.

Shinra Tensei!

Repelled by the repulsive force, Pain quickly Hand Seals Pain Pain just as the Spiral Light Ray was about to hit them.

"This is... the Animal Path?"

Hinata's expression froze instantly.

If this Pain is from the Animal Path, then what was the Pain that I just shattered?

On the other side, in order to avoid the attack of the Hellhound, Gamaken jumped high into the air, Jiraiya's tiny figure was hidden on Gamaken's body and became inconspicuous.

The moment the five Pain landed, Jiraiya burst out from Gamaken's body and descended from the sky, dragging an enormous Rasengan in his hand!

Super Great Ball Rasengan!

Have you ever seen a Rasengan that falls from the sky?

Hinata flapped her wings, preparing to go Jiraiya.

Hinata and Jiraiya's teamwork was quite clever, but Hinata just couldn't understand why there was a second Animal Path on the other side.

Without the element of surprise, Jiraiya's attack would not have succeeded this time.

Even though the Deva Path's Shinra Tensei is still on cooldown, the Preta Path's abilities can almost completely counter all Ninjutsu except for Senjutsu.

Chibaku Tensei!

The Preta Path aimed one hand at Jiraiya, and the moment the white barrier touched the Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan, the white barrier absorbed the Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan like a whale sucking in water.

Deva Path Pain launched an attack simultaneously, his black iron rod shooting towards Jiraiya like an arrow.

'When!'

A clang of metal rang out as Jiraiya swung his Kunai block the iron rod, but the rod was made of an unknown material, Kunai suddenly broke the moment it touched him.

Just as the black iron rod was about to pierce Jiraiya's body, Jiraiya seemed to be drawn by some force and flew rapidly toward Hinata's location.

Attack missed!

Deva Path Pain stared coldly at Hinata and Jiraiya, who were floating in the air. These two were indeed not easy to deal with.

"Pervy Sage!"

Seeing that Jiraiya seemed a little dazed, Hinata quickly asked, "How are you?"

"That...that face..."

"How... how could this be..."

Jiraiya muttered to himself, his face still showing disbelief.

When Jiraiya first heard the rumors about the Rinnegan, Jiraiya thought of the child named Nagato that he had met in the Land of Rain.

Along with the information about the Rinnegan, there was also the information that "Six Paths of Pain are puppets, and the true form of the Rinnegan has never shown itself."

Jiraiya never imagined that among the six puppets controlled by the Rinnegan, one of them would actually be...
