The Six Paths of Pain: Enter!

"Shinra Tensei!!"

With a soft shout, the floating Pain used this technique.

An utterly terrifying repulsive force erupted.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

First, the stone pillars shattered. Then, the ground below was crushed by the repulsive force into a massive bowl-shaped crater that continued to expand rapidly.

At the same time, the stone pillars, boulders, and everything else around the valley were flattened by Shinra Tensei.

To everyone's surprise, the "blind man" called Otsutsuki Toneri did not evade. Instead, he made the same motion.

"Shinra Tensei!"

An equally immense repulsive force erupted.

When the two enormous, invisible, intangible repulsive forces collided, an astonishing sight appeared.

Boom! Boom!

The earth began to wail.

Before these two forces, which could seemingly tear apart everything, the once-solid, heavy rock turned to powder like foam and was pushed aside.

"Th-this..."

"So strong!"

"Why can he use Shinra Tensei too?"

"Interesting!"

"We have to send this intelligence back to the village!"

Watching the astonishing battle before them, the Akatsuki members each had their own thoughts.

The spy duo in particular—Itachi and Kisame—appeared calm on the surface, but had already decided to send this intelligence back as soon as possible.

It was not that they lacked composure. The scene was simply too shocking.

Two Super Kage-level fighters!

Since when had Super Kage become so cheap?

Super Kage!

This standard of evaluation had already been accepted by the Shinobi World.

Especially since Tang Ping, as the benchmark, truly was not suited to being called Kage-level.

One man destroying a nation—one outside the Five Great Nations!

That was roughly the level.

Super Kage could be called strategic-level powerhouses. Naturally, once they learned information about one, they had to find a way to send it back.

Kisame was one thing, but Itachi was still willing to send intelligence back
