Six Paths of Pain, Defeated
"You don't need to know how I know this. All I know is that you are currently within my attack range!"
As Ye Liangnai spoke, she glanced in the direction of Nagato's hiding place and gave a meaningful smile.
At that moment, Nagato felt a chill run through his entire body!
He felt that he had absolutely no secrets from Ye Liangnai!
But--
"Don't even think about making me admit defeat!!"
"Reverse Summoning Technique!"
Nagato roared, and the Deva Path Pain in Ye Liangnai's hand disappeared.
Five figures appeared in front of Ye Liangnai!
The Human Path!
Beast Path!
Hell Path!
Asura Path!
The Preta Path!
The Beast Path held the Deva Path in its hand and threw it to the Hell Path. A Yama with a huge mouth appeared beside the Hell Path and swallowed the Deva Path whole.
Before long, a complete Deva Path emerged!
Even Ye Liangnai's Sealing Jutsu has been broken!
This made Ye Liangnai show interest for the first time.
"This is interesting. I'm starting to get interested. Great, since you have helpers, I'll join in too!"
Ye Liangnai quickly formed hand seals and pressed them onto the water's surface.
Then, the water in front of him swelled up and transformed into five identical human figures, Ye Liangnai with "Number One" to "Number Five" written on their chests!
It is worth noting that each of them has a different expression than Ye Liangnai.
It's less like a human and more like a ghost!
Because their faces were all ashen, bluish-gray—colors that made people feel uncomfortable.
"These are my specially made Five Ghost Water Clones, each possessing one-fifth of my original strength! They share my Chakra!"
"Come on, let me see whether your Six Paths of Pain is stronger, or my Five Ghost Water Clone!"
"There is only one price to pay for challenging the gods: death!"
Upon seeing that Ye Liangnai had also summoned five people to fight against his Deva Path Pain's expression immediately darkened.
Ye Liangnai kept provoking him. Did she really think he was a clay figure that she could mold at will?
"I'm courting death? You'll have to see if you have the guts!"
Despite Deva Path Pain's cold tone, Ye Liangnai didn't seem to care much.
Only the strong can utter these words with enough force! The weak are just making empty noises.
"You're asking for it!"
After leaving behind a cold remark, Deva Path Pain charged forward as the striker.
Behind him followed the Preta Path, the Asura Path, Human Path.
In the Beast Path and the Hell Path, one is forming hand seals to summon a spirit beast, while the other has already taken on the role of a healer, maintaining the form of the Great Mouth Yama, so as to heal the injured companion more quickly.
"Call out!"
The Asura Path unleashed several violent bombs, while the Preta Path lunged at the Water Clone, attempting to unleash its ability to devour anything.
The Human Path, with its soul power swirling in its hands, aimed directly at Ye Liangnai's true form, cooperating with the Deva Path Pain in an attempt to hold off Ye Liangnai's true form.
"I'm afraid I can't grant your wish!"
Seeing this, Ye Liangnai and Five Ghost Water Clones dodged the enemy's attack, then each rushed off to different distances before forming hand seals together. "Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!"
"Call!"
Suddenly, a huge cloud of mist enveloped Six Paths of Pain, and to Nagato's astonishment, he was able to perceive everything entirely through the Rinnegan.
All senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, and perception have disappeared.
Although he can indeed continue to control the Six Paths of Pain.
But the inability to see the enemy is truly despairing!
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Just as he was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the number of Six Paths of Pain he could manipulate suddenly decreased rapidly.
In that instant, the Beast Path, the Preta Path, and the Hell Path were severed from each other.
He was shocked and quickly manipulated Deva Path Pain to launch the all-encompassing Shinra Tensei to prevent Ding Si from getting close!
Only--
A strong tremor suddenly came from the Rinnegan. Deva Path Pain had lost control!
"Buzz!"
With another buzzing sound, the Asura Path lost contact!
"Buzz!"
The aura of the Human Path is faint!
Then, Nagato suddenly regained his senses about Pain's condition and was able to see what was happening at the scene through Pain.
Human Path was grabbed by the neck and held in Ye Liangnai's hand with one hand.
Each of his Five Ghost Water Clones carried either a complete or incomplete Pain.
Of course, only the Deva Path is complete!
The rest are basically just heads!
"How... is this possible?!"
Konan stared in horror at what she saw.
Pain, the Six Paths of Pain, possessed unparalleled strength in the Shinobi World, even making Nagato call himself a god, invincible in the Shinobi World! And yet he lost to Ye Liangnai?
So easy?
Konan looked at Ye Liangnai with the eyes of someone looking at a monster; this man was far too terrifying!
Just how strong is he?
"Nagato, it's a pity you chose the wrong path! So..."
Ding Si abandoned the Human Path, took a heavy step, and stirred up a wave in the sea, rushing towards a tall building like a beam of light!
"Don't want!!"
Upon seeing this, Konan was shocked and quickly broke away from Yagura to chase after Ye Liangnai.
Because Nagato is in that building, and as a Nagato, how could Ye Liangnai? Nagato's life is in danger!
But Nagato and Konan weren't the only ones who sensed the danger.
There's also a Masked Man named 'Tobi'!
He witnessed this scene in the shadows, seeing Ye Liangnai heading towards Nagato.
He was shocked and quickly used his spatial abilities to teleport himself in front of Nagato, intending to reach out and pry out Nagato's Rinnegan.
Regardless of Ye Liangnai's purpose in coming here, such an important resource as the Rinnegan must not fall into Ye Liangnai's hands!
"You dare!!"
As an outsider independent of the Six Paths of Pain, Nagato could use all of the Six Paths of Pain's abilities on his own.
If he weren't physically disabled, he wouldn't have needed to create the Six Paths of Pain.
Now that he sees that Tobi is trying to take away the Rinnegan, Nagato is not about to let him have his way. He raises his hand and releases Shinra Tensei.
Nagato disability does not mean he is powerless!
In fact, even though Nagato was crippled, his strength was still among the best.
Faced with Shinra Tensei, Tobi could only intangibly transform his body, thus losing the opportunity to physically touch Nagato.
It passed through Nagato's body, and the instant it passed through, Nagato's voice rang in its ears. "Banshō Ten'in!"
Of course, the gravity of the sky has no effect on Tobi in his ethereal state!
But Tobi's eyes didn't look relaxed at all!
Because--
Ye Liangnai has arrived!
"Hehe, Tobi, I didn't expect you to be here too! Hmph, our Yagura has a lot to say to you!"
Seeing that Tobi was also there, Ye Liangnai couldn't help but smile!
Tobi said coldly, "I never thought that brat who could barely survive under Yagura back then would become a powerful figure. I misjudged him!"
