Seriously, it's just Pain.
Danzo Hokage in utter contempt Tsunade, becoming extremely anxious at the slightest provocation.
Those two old guys have only grown older, not more capable.
Tsunade had already arrived outside the office.
Tsunade seals and shouted, "Summoning Technique!"
A Katsuyu as big as a hill appeared in front of Tsunade.
Under Tsunade's command, it quickly split into countless small Katsuyu, and then went to treat the severely injured Konoha.
"We must protect the village no matter what, even at the cost of the Hokage's name!"
At this time, Konoha was in complete chaos, with battles breaking out everywhere.
Iruka is searching everywhere for wounded Shinobi, but his luck isn't so good.
He was spotted by Deva Path Pain as soon as he stepped out the door.
"Tell me quickly, where is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, or I'll kill you." At this moment, Deva Path didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, thinking he was just an ordinary Chunin.
So what if they're dead? I killed quite a few already anyway.
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: What is Iruka's background?]
Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat familiar with Iruka; he seemed to be the son of a Jonin Konoha, and was currently only a first-year student.
At this moment, Umino Iruka was also very flustered, as he was not a combatant.
If a fight broke out, he probably wouldn't be a match for this Akatsuki enemy in front of him.
Recalling all the experiences he had shared with Naruto, now his most proud student, how could he possibly betray him?
"I have nothing to say to a guy like you."
Seeing Iruka's resolute attitude, Deva Path Pain stopped wasting words and pulled out his Black Receivers, intending to give him a good whack.
In the blink of an eye, a pair of arms appeared between the two.
"Make a scene to attract attention, then secretly search." The visitor was none other than Kakashi Hatake, the pillar of Konoha Elite Jonin.
With his silver hair and signature attire, anyone could recognize him at first glance.
Kakashi then told Iruka to take the injured away first, and that he would deal with Pain himself.
"I understand." Iruka realized he was just a hindrance, so without another word, he took the injured man and left.
Kakashi removed his eyepatch, revealing his left eye's Kamui Mangekyō, and stared intently at Pain before him.
Pain also wanted to get information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from Kakashi, but how could Kakashi possibly tell him?
Everything you've done has been a waste of time.
The Naruto of today is no longer the Nine-Tails boy that people once despised; he is now Naruto Uzumaki, and there is no one here who would betray his comrades.
[Obito: Kakashi.]
Obito looked at Kakashi on the screen with concern. Although he knew Kakashi was a genius Shinobi, the enemy in front of him was no ordinary person.
You'd better step up your game! Everyone's watching you!
[Kakashi: Don't be so insecure with me. I'm an elite Shinobi of Konoha, how could I possibly lose so easily?]
[Hozuki Mangetsu: Well, what can I say? Pain was too decisive in his previous battles, taking them down in just a few minutes.]
Both of them gripped the Black Receivers tightly, neither willing to let go.
The Black Receivers was instantly split in two by the immense force.
The battle immediately commenced.
Pain a swift side kick at Kakashi, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Under the Sharingan's observation, Pain's every action seemed to slow down.
Kakashi simply squatted down quickly, simultaneously forming hand seals with his hands.
"Earth Release, Earth Style Wall!"
A massive wall jutted out from the ground, its iconic dog head seemingly drawing hatred towards Kakashi.
A massive wall blocked all of Pain's paths.
Pain pulled out another Black Receivers, and Kakashi, caught off guard, had it plunged into his shoulder.
And the Black Receivers kept being inserted inside.
"Lightning Blade." A powerful current of electricity appeared in Kakashi's hand.
For some reason, after looking directly into Pain's eyes, his right hand was suddenly affected by a powerful force.
As a result, the Lightning Blade missed Pain and instead struck the stone pillar behind him.
"Copy Ninja Kakashi, it's a pleasure to meet you," Pain said as he slowly drew his Black Receivers.
Kakashi still thought it was an accident, never expecting that he could miss at such close range.
Let's do it again.
"Lightning Blade!"
This time, there will absolutely be no mistakes!
Just as Kakashi rushed in front of Pain, he was unable to move forward another step, as if a powerful force was blocking his way.
And this force...
Before Kakashi could react, the power in front of him suddenly increased, and Kakashi was directly blasted away by the mysterious force.
[Obito: You idiot Kakashi, that's Nagato's Shinra Tensei!]
[Kakashi: Of course I know now, how could I have known back then?]
Kakashi also commented that he now knew it was Pain who summoned the repulsive force that could deflect Ninjutsu or Shinobi.
At this moment, the dog-like wall summoned by Kakashi was easily destroyed by Pain.
Everything within a radius of several tens of meters centered on Pain was blasted away.
At this moment, Kakashi also understood Pain's abilities.
Since you're easily knocked back in close combat, try this move.
"Lightning Beast Tracking Fang!" The form of Lightning Blade changed, transforming into a wolf shape and charging directly at Deva Path Pain.
However, it was still bounced away at the very last moment before it got close.
"Physical attacks and Ninjutsu can actually be deflected?"
Since he had not received any information about Pain from Jiraiya, Kakashi could only rely on his extensive combat experience to constantly probe the situation.
Just as he was pondering this, the Asura Path Pain had already arrived behind Kakashi.
Asura Path cut open his own wrist, revealing it filled with rocket launchers.
"Nisunai!"
Countless shells exploded right next to Kakashi, completely engulfing the area in smoke.
[Rasa: Alright, alright, I bet Kakashi definitely wasn't hit by the cannonball.]
[Kakashi: Is this something we should be considering? Shouldn't we be thinking about how to defeat Pain in front of us?]
[Nagato: Indeed, based on my memories, the Asura Path can only deal with ordinary Shinobi; it becomes ineffective against more agile Shinobi.]
At this Nagato, Nagato possessed the Ninjutsu inherent in the Rinnegan, and naturally understood the weaknesses and strengths of the Asura Path. However, it was still not enough to defeat Kakashi of Konoha.
