[Pain: "This Iruka is Naruto's teacher, right? In that case..."]
[Naruto Uzumaki: "Bastard! Don't you dare hurt Iruka-sensei!!"]
[Uchiha Izuna: "By the way, since the Uchiha Clan no longer exists, what about the Senju Clan?"]
[Tobirama Senju: "I disbanded it. I had them integrate with the civilians..."]
[Uchiha Tajima: "Hmm, seeing that the Senju Clan has vanished too is truly satisfying!"]
[Hyuga Hiashi: "Now... the Hyuga Clan is the strongest clan in Konoha!!!"]
[Uchiha Tekka: "That is indeed the case..."]
[Mizukage Mei Terumi: "Then who is the strongest Hokage?"]
[First Tsuchikage: "Hard to say. Perhaps Hashirama Senju?"]
[Kinkaku: "Not necessarily. The Second was very strong too!"]
[Ginkaku: "Shouldn't the strongest Hokage in Konoha be the Second?"]
[Fourth Raikage A: "Heh, though I'd love to say it was Minato Namikaze..."]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "But Konoha's textbooks say the Third was the strongest Hokage. Spill the beans, bro!!"]
[Madara Uchiha: "The strongest Hokage? Hiruzen? Is he worthy?"]
[Hashirama Senju: "Hahaha, Madara, don't say that. After all, I use Wood Release ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)"]
[Tobirama Senju: "Monkey, you..."]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Sensei, the circumstances were special at the time. I had no choice but to declare myself the strongest..."]
[Fourth Raikage A: "Speaking of which, why hasn't the Third appeared in the video yet?"]
[Hozuki Suigetsu: "He's probably already dead, hehe..."]
The video continued.
"That pattern... this guy is from the Akatsuki..." Iruka's gaze was particularly wary.
"All right, talk."
The Deva Path stared at Iruka.
"I have nothing to say to the likes of you!" Iruka retorted angrily.
"Is that so? Then you're no use to me!"
Gripping a Black Rod, the Deva Path thrust it at Iruka.
But at that critical moment...
Kakashi rushed onto the battlefield.
He reached out and caught the Black Rod, keeping his eyes fixed on Pain.
"Cause a huge commotion to draw attention, then search in secret..." Kakashi analyzed calmly.
"Kakashi!" Iruka's eyes lit up.
"Please take this injured person and retreat quickly! Leave this to me!"
"Got it!"
Iruka hoisted the injured person onto his back, gave Kakashi a worried glance, and quickly disappeared.
"That takes care of that..." Kakashi stared at Pain.
"In that case, I'll ask you: where is the Nine-Tails?"
"Everything you're doing is futile. The people here are different from ordinary villagers. Even if it costs them their lives, no one will betray their comrades!"
Kakashi activated his Sharingan and stared at Pain.
[Tobirama Senju: "This Kakashi... is he one of Konoha's top fighters now?"]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Yes..."]
[Hashirama Senju: "Why does this Kakashi have a Sharingan? Is he an Uchiha?"]
[Kakashi Hatake: "Lord First Hokage, my Sharingan was given to me by my dear friend Obito before he died..."]
[Hashirama Senju: "I see..."]
[Kakashi Hatake: "Obito, I wish you were still alive. You never should have saved me back then..."]
[Obito Uchiha: "."]
[Uchiha Tekka: "To be honest, I'm really grateful to Obito. That kid helped me out a lot back then..."]
[Maruboshi Kosuke: "Haha, I threw my back out once, and that young lad helped me too!"]
[Minato Namikaze: "Obito, you really were a kind child..."]
[Naruto Uzumaki: "Uncle Obito is so cool. I don't know why, but I feel like Uncle Obito held me once..."]
[Obito Uchiha: "..."]
The video continued.
The two faced each other as the music took on a sacred air.
Pain's gaze was icy.
"Snap."
Kakashi broke the Black Rod.
The Deva Path immediately kicked at Kakashi.
Kakashi quickly ducked and made hand seals:
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The ground trembled, and a massive stone wall engraved with four dogs' heads rose up!
Seeing this, Pain drew another Black Rod and struck Kakashi in the shoulder.
Kakashi thrust his Lightning Blade at him.
Just then,
an overwhelming pressure bore down on Kakashi, and he froze.
"Boom!"
Pain tilted his head aside to dodge.
The Lightning Blade struck the wall behind him, cracking it like a spiderweb.
What was that just now...? Kakashi's pupils contracted.
"Copy Ninja Kakashi Hatake, a pleasure to meet you," Pain said, drawing another Black Rod.
Kakashi took several steps back, even more wary.
Pain asked, "Where is the Nine-Tails?"
"That's a stupid question!"
Kakashi wielded the Lightning Blade again and thrust it at the Deva Path.
The Deva Path's pupils contracted.
Kakashi suddenly felt as though there were a screen in front of him, preventing him from getting close.
"Bang!"
The next second,
a powerful recoil sent Kakashi flying.
The surrounding walls cracked, stones flew up, and smoke filled the air.
Pain watched calmly and coldly. This was his confidence as a god!!
Just then,
Akimichi Chōza arrived with his son to support Kakashi.
In the rubble,
Kakashi reached out an arm and weakly got to his feet.
What kind of ninjutsu was that...? It wasn't like a shockwave. Everything around him was blown away, with him at the center.
Kakashi looked at Pain, his mind racing.
[Minato Namikaze: "Pain's technique is no simple matter..."]
[Tobirama Senju: "Does it repel everything around him, with him at the center?"]
[Hashirama Senju: "Tobirama, what have you figured out?"]
[Tobirama Senju: "Brother, his ability has something to do with how magnets work. It should be a repulsive force, right?"]
[Kabuto Yakushi: "As expected of Lord Second Hokage, his battle intelligence is incredible..."]
[Orochimaru: "If I had the chance, I'd really like to discuss it with Lord Second Hokage..."]
The video continued.
Kakashi quickly leaped down from the rubble.
"In that case..."
"How will you deal with this attack?!"
Kakashi decisively unleashed lightning.
The lightning hurtled toward the enemy,
taking the form of a wolf that roared as it charged at Pain.
However, just as it neared Pain, the lightning dissipated.
Were both physical attacks and cold speed repelled? Just who is that guy...?
Kakashi frowned deeply.
At that moment,
a tremendous commotion suddenly came from behind him.
The Asura Path landed on the ground, his gaze icy.
"There's another one?"
Kakashi froze.
The Asura Path quickly pulled off his arm.
Missiles swiftly locked onto Kakashi in midair.
Kakashi dodged quickly.
The entire ground exploded violently, sending clouds of smoke billowing upward.
Through the smoke,
Kakashi shot forward with the Lightning Blade in hand, landing right behind the Asura Path.
"Got you!"
Just as he thought the Lightning Blade would hit the Asura Path,
the Asura Path had anticipated it and crouched to dodge the attack.
"How is that possible? He was facing forward the whole time..."
Kakashi looked into the distance and saw the Deva Path staring at him.
"I see..."
He suddenly understood.
If he was right, their fields of vision were connected!
[Hozuki Suigetsu: "I don't get it. How did that Pain dodge Kakashi's sneak attack?"]
[Boruto Uzumaki (young adult): "I see... put simply, they share their vision!"]
[Minato Namikaze: "That's right, I was thinking the same thing..."]
Inside the Shinigami's stomach,
Minato looked at Boruto's face. The longer he looked, the more familiar it seemed, and a possibility occurred to him...
This Boruto was most likely his grandson.
Otherwise, there was no way he would feel such a sense of familiarity...
