The Akimichi Father and Son Arrive as Backup

[Obito: Don't worry, trust that Kakashi will find their weakness.]

At this time, Obito still trusted Kakashi a lot, after all, you are the Kakashi Hatake.

How could Deva Path Pain possibly defeat you?

Kakashi Hatake is a man who has fought against Zabuza, Six Paths Obito), Six Paths Madara Otsutsuki Kaguya.

The smoke provided Kakashi with a shortcut to approach the Asura Path, Kakashi quickly circled around to the back of the Asura Path.

This position is completely outside the opponent's field of vision.

"Got it." Just as Kakashi was secretly pleased with himself for looking at the Asura Path so close at hand, the Asura Path dodged at an unexpected angle.

Very well, Kakashi is now facing the Jiraiya predicament that Jiraiya faced back then, because he really doesn't understand Pain at all.

All the information they had came from the surviving Sage Fukasaku.

Kakashi now finally understands just how difficult it was for Jiraiya back then, having to fight against six guys like that.

At this moment, the Asura Path suddenly began to change. Its originally normal body suddenly transformed into a three-headed, six-armed creature, with a huge saw tooth extending from its back.

"Banshō Ten'in."

Just as Kakashi was wondering what was going on, Deva Path suddenly stretched out his hands to Kakashi, and Kakashi's entire body was uncontrollably drawn towards them.

The jagged edges of the Asura Path lay between the two.

At that moment, Kakashi produced a chain from somewhere and linked himself to a huge boulder behind him.

Kakashi realized at this point that it was time to call for reinforcements. Since the other side lacked sportsmanship, there was no need for him to fight the two of them one-on-one.

You think you can outnumber people? This is Konoha. I can summon hundreds of Shinobi with just one signal.

Deva Path Pain, realizing that his Banshō Ten'in was insufficient, increased its power.

Having finally reached the limit of his physical limits, Kakashi directly into the saw teeth of the Asura Path.

[Obito: Ah, Kakashi, what's wrong?]

[Rasa: We lost so quickly? That shouldn't be happening.]

[Obito: Kakashi, look! What's going on?]

Obito looked at Kakashi anxiously, but Kakashi didn't care at all. He recognized at a glance that he was using Shadow Clone. How come Obito has the Mangekyō Sharingan, didn't even realize it?

[Kakashi: Don't worry, that's just Shadow Clone. Besides, shouldn't you, with your Mangekyō Sharingan, have observed it beforehand?]

After being criticized by Kakashi, Obito gave an awkward laugh. What? He was too worried about Kakashi and didn't notice it was a Shadow Clone at first.

[Rin: Kakashi shouldn't say that; Obito is just too concerned about you.]

Although Obito was too embarrassed to say it aloud, Rin still carefully defended Obito.

[Kakashi: Rin, you've been too lenient with Obito. He's Jonin Obito, how can you be so careless? You'll suffer a great loss if this happens in battle.]

Kakashi then gave Obito a stern rebuke. No matter what, Obito needs someone to push him to improve; otherwise, the more you praise him, the more arrogant he becomes.

[Obito: Okay, okay, I got it.]

Obito said helplessly, "I should have kept quiet just now."

[Yahiko: Obito and this Shinobi named Kakashi seem to have a pretty good relationship.]

[Obito: Tch, who's on good terms with him? I... I was just mocking him.]

Obito tried his best to distance himself from Kakashi. Pshaw, who knows this shameless Jonin who spends all his time reading unhealthy books?

Don't argue with me. This was told to me by Minato-sensei, Naruto's son. I've already put it in a slightly tactful way.

Sure enough, the moment they made contact, Kakashi turned into a ball of lightning and vanished.

"Lightning Release Chakra?" Deva Path Pain recognized it as well.

Konoha has two of the dirtiest tactical masters. One is Uchiha Itachi, who always likes to fight in Genjutsu), and then tell his opponent when they are about to win that they have actually been caught in his Genjutsu all along.

Another one is Kakashi Hatake. If you hit me, sorry, that's Shadow Clone. If you hit me again, sorry, that's also Shadow Clone.

Anyone who fights these two will get a headache, except for those who aren't very bright.

Just as Deva Path was about to launch another attack, he suddenly felt a sense of danger above his head, and immediately dodged the fist that had just fallen from the sky.

However, the Asura Path wasn't so lucky; it was instantly smashed to pieces, and it's unknown whether it died or not.

[Shikaku Nara: This person is, Chōza?]

[Akimichi Chōza: I never expected it to be me. So the other person must be my future son.]

[That was Akimichi Chōza and his son Choji Akimichi just now.]

The giant fist from earlier completely destroyed Pain with a single Pain.

Kakashi quickly crawled out of the rubble, thankfully he had saved up some Chakra Chōza his son arrived to help.

It turns out that Kakashi had already used Shadow Clone when he was first defeated, so Deva Path had been entertaining himself with Shadow Clone all along.

Using substitutions and clones is a habit Kakashi has during battles.

[Might Guy: As expected of the person I'm trying to catch up to, he's so calm.]

However, Kakashi still used up half of his Chakra, as he was still somewhat exhausted from the long battle.

However, it wasn't without its gains; at least he saw through some of Pain's abilities. Kakashi stared intently at Deva Path Pain.

Dozens of Konoha Jonin had arrived by this time, and each of them immediately unleashed their most proficient Ninjutsu.

Soon, the Deva Path was surrounded by Ninjutsu from all directions.

The Deva Path, however, did not slow down at all, but simply said calmly.

Shinra Tensei!

The attack didn't even get close to Pain before he was sent flying again.

Moreover, this time the scale was much larger, covering an area of over a hundred meters, and many Shinobi were directly hit by the rebounding Ninjutsu.

Only Chōza, his son, and Kakashi managed to hide.

Their combined ultimate attack was countered by a single basic attack from the opponent, forcing the three of them to find a place to hide temporarily.

However, their sacrifice was not in vain. At least Kakashi understood that there was a certain time interval between when Pain released his gravity or repulsion.

In other words, I can use this time to launch an attack.

After a brief discussion of the battle plan with the Akimichi father and son, the group decided to launch another attack.

[Minato Namikaze: Kakashi is really perceptive; he was able to find his opponent's weakness the very first moment of contact.]

[Kakashi: I'm just observing more, Minato-sensei.]

It must be said that Kakashi may not be the strongest, but his combat experience is definitely second to none.

People like Hashirama Senju and Madara have no combat experience whatsoever; a Daibutsu like him would make anyone kneel before him.

The other Susanoo is even less of a concern; just cut it down directly. There's no need for such meticulous planning, calculating every single bit of Chakra.
