Poisoned Beating and Provocation!

"Enough!"

Pain spoke up to stop the fight.

By now, everyone understood the effects of the Chimera Technique.

A full four Kekkei Genkai.

Steel Release!

Dark Release!

Steel Release!

Swift Release!

Any one of them, if properly developed, would start at the Quasi-Kage level.

Hiruko had only grasped them superficially, yet he was already considered a kage-level expert. With more practice, he would definitely reach the level of a powerful Kage.

Now that they knew this information, there was naturally no need to continue fighting.

This had been meant to test the intelligence on the Chimera Technique, not to have the two of them fight to the death.

Unfortunately!

Hiruko was already fired up.

Beating Orochimaru senseless was the kind of satisfying fantasy that only appeared in his dreams, so he could not hear anything else.

Orochimaru wanted to stop, but he had no way to do so.

Pain was not angry when he saw this.

Since Hiruko would not listen, then he would just beat him up.

More than half of Akatsuki's members had been brought into line this way.

They were all unruly S-rank rogue ninjas, so disobedience was practically normal.

Yet they were now living in "peace," not because they had changed their tempers, but because he possessed the strength to crush all defiance.

Hearing Pain's voice, Hiruko began forming hand seals.

Rat—Rabbit—Dragon—Tiger!

After completing several seals.

"Storm Release Secret: Storm Demon Dragon!"

He unleashed his strongest Storm Release technique.

Clearly, he had gotten carried away.

So what if Pain was Akatsuki's leader? Now that he possessed four Kekkei Genkai, he was no weaker than anyone else.

If he could defeat Pain, perhaps he could seize the position of Akatsuki's leader.

He had already made those calculations when he joined Akatsuki.

Even if Pain had not attacked
