Kumogakure, Cloud Thunder Gorge
A burly man with bronze skin was making strange hand gestures and muttering something incoherently, looking like a mental patient.
Suddenly, six figures appeared around him and surrounded him.
The newcomers were none other than Six Paths of Pain, and the one they surrounded was Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B.
Deva Path Pain frowned as he watched Killer B's strange movements and tone. He said coldly,
"You must be Killer B, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."
Killer B ignored him and continued rapping.
Without further ado, Deva Path Pain immediately reached out and aimed at Killer B.
"Banshō Ten'in!"
A suction force erupted from Deva Path Pain's palm, Killer B was caught off guard and pulled directly towards him.
Deva Path Pain grabbed Killer B by the neck, and Black Rod emerged from his other sleeve, plunging it heavily into Killer B's body.
However, Killer B's body suddenly turned into smoke with a bang. When the smoke dissipated, what appeared in Deva Path Pain's hand was an octopus tentacle.
Deva Path Pain was stunned for a moment, but the Animal Path suddenly shoved Deva Path Pain.
At that very moment, a loud shout came from the sky.
"Liger Bomb!"
A burly man covered in lightning descended from the sky and slammed his foot into the Animal Path's body.
A violent explosion rang out, accompanied by the hissing of lightning. The Animal Path was reduced to a pile of mangled flesh by that kick.
Deva Path Pain stepped aside, glanced at the newcomer, and said calmly,
"The Fourth Raikage"
The Fourth Raikage A, sized up the remaining five Pain. When he saw their Rinnegan, A's expression darkened, and he thought to himself,
What kind of eyes are those?
With the arrival of the Fourth Raikage, a large number of ninjas from Kumogakure also appeared, surrounding the five Pain, and the situation seemed to have been reversed.
Faced with this situation, none of Pain's faces showed the slightest sign of panic. Deva Path Pain, ignoring the Kumogakure ninjas eyeing him menacingly, directly confronted A and asked...
Where is the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?
Ai snorted and said,
"Hmph! So it really is about the Tailed Beast. I didn't expect you to actually dare to come. What? Did you think this place was like Kirigakure or Sunagakure, where you could come and go as you pleased?"
Is there any difference?
There was not a trace of emotion in Deva Path Pain's voice; he clearly did not take Kumogakure seriously at all.
How could the hot-tempered Ai tolerate such humiliation? He clenched his fists tightly, making the lightning crackling around his body even more dazzling, and his hair stood on end, creating a striking visual impact.
"Lightning Release Armor!"
With a low shout, Ai vanished from his spot in an instant, reappearing before Deva Path Pain and delivering a chop to Pain wrist.
"Raging Lion!"
However, just as A's hand was about to touch Deva Path Pain's body,
Shinra Tensei.
An extremely strong Repulsion Force erupted from Deva Path Pain, even A, who had activated his Lightning Release Armor, was instantly blasted back and sent flying backward.
Seeing this, Darui quickly leaped into the air, trying to catch Ai's body, but Ai knocked him away, and the two fell into the lake together.
Before the Cloud Ninja could even react, their two strongest fighters had already been defeated.
However, Kumogakure is the most fiercely styled of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Even though Pain's strength seemed exceptionally powerful, a large number of Kumogakure ninja still rushed towards Pain.
Most of the ninjas from Kumogakure were skilled in Lightning Release, and during their charge, they all unleashed their strongest Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
The raging lightning surged toward Deva Path Pain, and the Preta Path instantly appeared in front of Deva Path Pain. He stretched out his hands, and a transparent spherical barrier appeared around him.
The Lightning Release Ninjutsu released by the Cloud Ninja vanished without a trace upon touching the barrier, as if it had disappeared into thin air.
This bizarre scene was clearly beyond their comprehension; they stood frozen in place, somewhat at a loss.
Pain didn't give them time to be stunned. The Asura Path stepped forward, and his arm emitted a series of mechanical clicking sounds as a dense barrage of missiles was launched, all of which landed among the Cloud Ninja.
Boom boom boom!
A series of explosions rang out, and many Cloud Ninja were blown to pieces before they even had a chance to scream. Even those who were lucky enough to survive were missing limbs and looked extremely miserable.
Pain's performance wasn't over yet. The Hell Realm slowly approached the "ruined" Animal Path and, to the horror of the Cloud Ninja, summoned a terrifying face burning with purple flames, just like the legendary King Yama.
He was put into the mouth of Yama, the King of Hell, and with a chilling chewing sound, the Animal Path from Yama's mouth unharmed once again.
After emerging from the Animal Path, it used Summoning Technique to summon enormous beasts that stared intently at the Cloud Ninja below.
Some of the Cloud Ninja's mental defenses collapsed instantly, and they knelt down on the ground.
Just then, the lake surface suddenly churned, and two enormous octopus tentacles stretched out, still entangled around Ai and Darui who had just fallen into the lake.
Seeing this scene, the Cloud Ninja, who had lost their fighting spirit, seemed to have their hope rekindled. Someone shouted excitedly,
"It's Killer B Bee!"
The enormous head of the Eight-Tails -Eight-Tails emerged from the lake, and Ai and Darui jumped onto its head.
Ai's expression was not good, and he angrily rebuked,
"Bi! Didn't I tell you not to come out? Xiao's target is you!"
Killer B didn't rap as usual; his tone was unusually serious.
"Brother, this enemy is tough to deal with. Gyuki told me that those people's eyes are the legendary Rinnegan, the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths!"
"What!?"
Ai looked at Pain's several Rinnegan in disbelief and asked,
"How can such eyes appear on several people at the same time?!"
"Even the Gyuki doesn't know, but it's definitely the Rinnegan!"
"Did it say what abilities the Rinnegan has? How should we deal with these eyes?"
"It simply says that the Rinnegan is the eye of a sage, possessing world-destroying power!"
"Damn it... Are you kidding me? How could such a thing happen!"
Darui was relatively calmer than Ai, and he spoke up, "M."
"Lord Raikage, if the Rinnegan is truly that terrifying, then even if you hide, it won't help. All we can do now is fight with all our might!"
A nodded silently with a grim face. Then, he activated his Lightning Release Armor again and charged towards Pain first.
Killer B then extended eight thick tentacles, instantly binding the summoned beast from the Animal Path tightly.
Deva Path Pain's gaze sharpened, and he said coldly.
"It seems you haven't felt enough pain!"
