Pain Attacks Kumogakure

After ending her communication with Orochimaru, Hinata began searching for Urashiki's whereabouts within the coverage area of Artificial Satellite.

In the Byakugan's vision, a person with a huge amount of chakra is like the bright moon in the night, almost immediately visible.

"Huh?"

"This is..."

Outside the Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning, six enormous streams of chakra shone exceptionally brightly.

After adjusting the angle of his Byakugan, the faces of the six people became clearly visible.

"It really is Six Paths of Pain!"

"Could it be... that Pain is planning to launch a forced attack on Kumogakure and kidnap Killer B?"

Hinata immediately perked up; Pain was about to do something big!

Given the Raikage's volatile temper, if Kumogakure were to be Pain and Killer B were forcibly kidnapped, he would probably declare war on Akatsuki immediately!

Wait... declare war?

Hinata frowned slightly, sensing that there was something fishy about the matter.

Although Hinata had forgotten most of her memories of Hokage, Hinata vaguely remembered that Killer B usually wasn't in Kumogakure, but was training alone somewhere.

But Nagato was preparing to attack Kumogakure at that moment!

"Could it be that Nagato doesn't have any specific information about Killer B?"

"Is this Obito's idea? Or is Black Zetsu also involved?"

Once Kumogakure is breached by Pain, there is a high probability that the Raikage will, as in the Original Story, propose Five Kage Summit to unite the Five Great Shinobi Villages against Akatsuki.

According to Hinata and Black Zetsu's plan, once the Eight-Tails is sealed, Hinata will immediately attack and severely injure Nagato, and then forcibly control Nagato to use the Reanimation Jutsu.

Orochimaru and Sasuke will arrive at Amegakure at the same time. Orochimaru will use the Impure World Reincarnation to Madara Uchiha, while Sasuke will use the power of the Rinnegan to seize control of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and take a portion of the Tailed Beasts' chakra.

"Was this Obito's attempt to save himself?"

The current situation may seem chaotic, but it is actually quite clear.

Obito was outnumbered and outmatched, and couldn't cause any trouble at all.

However, Urashiki's unexpected intervention has added some uncertainty to the plan.

"Um..."

While Hinata was pondering, Pain had already launched his attack.

Pain's tactics were the same old routine: the Heavenly Path used Shinra Tensei to launch the Animal Path into the air, and then the Animal Path used Summoning Technique to summon the other five Paths to it.

This would mislead the Kumogakure, preventing their Sensor Division from determining the exact number of enemies.

'Boom boom boom—'

Pain acted swiftly. The Six Paths of Pain had barely separated when the Kumogakure was engulfed in war. The enormous Summoning Beast wreaked havoc everywhere, turning streets into ruins and houses into ruins in an instant.

"As expected..." Hinata thought to herself.

With All-Knowing, All-Powerful activated, Hinata teleported to a high altitude near Kumogakure, using the Dojutsu power Tenseigan to look down on the battle situation in Kumogakure.

Besides the Animal Path, Asura Path, and Preta Path, which are openly attracting attention, the Heavenly Path, Human Path, and Hell Path are operating in secret, seemingly gathering information on Eight-Tails Killer B.

Raikage's Office.

"Damn it! That damned Akatsuki!"

Standing by the window, watching the explosions spread across several blocks, Raikage's face contorted with rage. He smashed through the office wall with a single punch and rushed out without a second thought.

"Lord Raikage..."

Mabui's expression turned grave. Seeing that Raikage had disappeared from sight, he quickly turned and ran out of the office, preparing to mobilize the Anbu to support Raikage.

Boom!!!

A blue figure descended from the sky like lightning, instantly exploding the giant centipede's head.

The Raikage's entire body crackled with azure lightning, the ground beneath his feet shattered, and he stared with a grim face at the ruins before him, and the ninjas and civilians buried beneath them.

"Lord Raikage!"

In a series of Body Flicker Technique, more than a dozen Cloud Ninja appeared around the Raikage. One of them reported, "Lord Raikage, the village has been attacked by unidentified individuals. Not counting Summoning Beast, we conservatively estimate there are at least three people involved!"

"Furthermore... the eyes of these Summoning Beast seem to be the Rinnegan mentioned in the intelligence!"

As Raikage's gaze swept across the area, a giant eagle swooped down from the sky, flying at high speed close to the ground. The shockwave generated by its high-speed flight instantly turned the entire street into ruins.

And the eagle's eyes are the Rinnegan!

"Hateful!"

The Raikage gritted his teeth; how dare the Akatsuki attack Kumogakure head-on!

"Search for enemy traces immediately and report back to me!"

With Raikage, the ground beneath his feet exploded, and he soared into the sky, rushing towards the area where the explosions were most concentrated.

"Tsk tsk! What a heavy loss!"

Hinata sat cross-legged high in the sky, pinching her chin with two fingers, and shook her head slightly as she watched the battle below.

Kumogakure, Katsuyu doesn't have a summoning Summoning Beast like the Tsunade that can protect all the village's ninjas in an instant. If the Raikage angers Pain with his words, Pain might actually give Kumogakure a severe beating.

"If that's the case... what will happen next?"

Hinata silently analyzed the situation in her mind.

With its fighting strength greatly diminished, Kumogakure will certainly no longer be one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, and rebuilding the village alone will take a lot of time.

While other ninja villages are wary of Akatsuki's power, they may choose to join forces against Akatsuki under the influence of Tsunade and Mei Terumi.

"Um..."

"In that case, even if Obito, that idiot, didn't declare war, once the plan to revive Madara is leaked, or the information about the Ten-Tails is leaked, the Five Great Shinobi Villages will most likely send troops to Amegakure directly."

"Is this Obito's self-rescue plan?"

Take advantage of the chaos to steal Nagato's Rinnegan!

'Boom!'

A huge explosion came from below. Hinata turned her gaze and saw that the houses in Kumogakure had collapsed in an instant. The Raikage stood proudly in the ruins, his whole body radiating lightning. At his feet was a Pain who was no longer human!

"Um?"

The other five Pain sensed this at the same time and turned to look at the Raikage's location.

With the repulsive force activated, the Heavenly Path slowly floated into the air and flew towards the direction where the Raikage was.

Along with the Heavenly Path, the Asura Path and Hell Path also acted.

"Raikage!"

Heavenly Path Pain from the sky, looking down at the Raikage with an emotionless gaze.

"Hand over the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!"

Pain spoke calmly, as if stating a fact, or as if God were giving instructions to ants.

"You are the leader of the Akatsuki?"

Looking at the surrounding ruins and listening to the explosions and screams coming from afar, the Raikage's anger had reached its peak.

Pain said calmly, "I don't want to destroy this place. Hand over the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!"

'Whoosh!'

The Raikage's speed was so fast that it was difficult to perceive with the naked eye. When the Raikage's elbow strike was already within a meter of Pain could only vaguely hear the sound of the Raikage's feet hitting the ground as he exploded.

Pain's eyes remained calm and expressionless.

'Bang--'

Shinra Tensei!

The speed at which the Raikage charged in was the same speed at which he was sent flying.

Centered on Pain, everything spread outwards under the force of repulsion.
