Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, Deva Path Pain's body slowly floated into the air.
The other five Pain suddenly disappeared after a puff of smoke.
Deva Path Pain coldly surveyed the Kumogakure villagers below, the eerie atmosphere lingering for a long time. Finally, A couldn't hold back any longer and roared at the sky.
"Damn it! What exactly do you want to do!?"
Deva Path Pain, however, countered with a question...
"Have you ever felt pain?" (Tianlai Novel Network)
"What?"
A was taken aback by Deva Path Pain's inexplicable words. Deva Path Pain slowly shook his head and continued speaking to himself.
How can someone who has never experienced pain understand true world peace?
"This is ridiculous! Bring this bastard down!"
Killer B nodded, tilted his head back, opened his mouth wide, and a jet-black energy ball coalesced, shooting towards Pain in the air.
Deva Path Pain then spread his arms, and a deep voice rang out.
"From this moment forward, let the world feel pain! Super Shinra Tensei!"
The entire space was instantly enveloped in blinding white light, and a terrifying Repulsion Force Repulsion Force erupted, pushing Killer B's Tailed Beast Ball back.
Then, Repulsion Force like ocean waves swallowed everything below, and the world seemed to return to calm at that moment.
Inside a large, thick tree, five Pain lay on the ground, with Nagato and Konan above them.
Nagato looked unwell, Konan, seeing his concern, asked...
"Nagato, can your body hold up?"
"It's alright, I can handle this level of stress!"
After saying that, Nagato gave a low shout, and the five Pain stood up from the ground and then disappeared again.
Cloud Thunder Gorge
This place can no longer be called a gorge; the surrounding valleys have all been leveled by the Supreme Almighty Push, and numerous corpses of Cloud Ninja lie scattered on the ground.
Some of the Cloud Ninja who had managed to survive crawled out of the ground, only to collapse unconscious again.
On the lake, Ai held Killer B in her arms, anxiously calling his name.
"Compare! Compare!"
The instant Super Shinra Tensei was released, Killer B immediately shielded A and Darui with his body, while he himself was exposed at the center of the Repulsion Force explosion.
Even in his Complete Tailed Beast Transformation form, Killer B was overwhelmed by the close-range Super Shinra Tensei and was forced back into human form, falling unconscious.
Deva Path Pain landed back on the ground, and five clouds of smoke rose around him, revealing the other five Pain.
Ai stared intently at Pain in front of him, and said hatefully,
"I will absolutely not hand the game over to you!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Asura Path appeared in front of Ai and punched him in the back.
Ai's body was already extremely weak, and she didn't react at all before being thrown to the bottom of the lake.
Seeing this, Darui hurriedly formed hand seals, wanting to use Ninjutsu. However, his movements had already been noticed by the other Pain. Pain have shared vision, and the Asura Path turned around and kicked Darui away.
After dealing with the two troublemakers, the Asura Path carried Killer B back into Pain.
After another puff of smoke, Six Paths of Pain completely disappeared.
The surviving Cloud Ninjas were filled with despair, and it took them a long time to react.
"Quickly, go save Lord Raikage!"
Suddenly, Killer B, who had been "captured" by Pain, reappeared from the lake, carrying A on his shoulder.
With a loud "whoosh," it spat out a large mouthful of lake water, which was mixed with some blood.
He looked weakly at Killer B and asked,
"Compared to you, how could you..."
"Big brother, don't worry, those people only took away a clone I created with my tail!"
"That's good, but my Kumogakure..."
Ai looked up at the few remaining Cloud Ninjas in front of her, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Killer B was also feeling bad; he said in a low voice,
"Brother, what's done is done. The most important thing now is to unite with other ninja villages. The Rinnegan is not something that our Kumogakure alone can handle!"
Ai paused for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Killer B with a complicated expression and said,
"By the way, you've grown!"
News of Akatsuki's invasion of Kumogakure spread quickly, and the various ninja villages that received the news immediately reacted.
Sunagakure and Kirigakure take this matter very seriously, since they too have been invaded by Akatsuki and share a similar fate with Kumogakure.
Although Iwagakure has not yet been invaded by Akatsuki, Ōnoki already knows that his village's Jinchuriki has been captured by Akatsuki, thus creating a grudge between them.
Konoha
Minato, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya high-ranking members gathered in Senga's office to discuss matters concerning Akatsuki.
Incidentally, Konoha has now established a Science Department, with Orochimaru as its first head.
Orochimaru himself quite liked this position because Senga had given him special permission to conduct human experiments. Of course, the experimental subjects were all heinous death row inmates or ninjas captured from other villages.
Nara Shikaku looked very serious as he looked at Senga and said...
"Hokage-sama, the Fourth Raikage wants us to travel to the Land of Iron with the other Three Great Shinobi Villages to discuss matters concerning Akatsuki."
Senga leaned back in her chair and said casually,
"They just want to hold the Five Kage Summit, huh? Looks like the Kumogakure has suffered quite a bit this time."
"Yes, it's said that someone within the Akatsuki Organization possesses the Rinnegan, causing heavy losses to the Kumogakure!"
Mentioning the Rinnegan, Minato and the others' expressions became somewhat strange. They knew that Senga also possessed a pair of Rinnegan, but had not yet demonstrated its power.
Senga stretched, stood up from his chair, and sighed.
"The Rinnegan, huh? That's really troublesome!"
Nara Shikaku was unaware that Senga possessed the Rinnegan. He nodded gravely and continued,
"Hokage-sama, Akatsuki has been collecting Tailed Beast everywhere, and now only the Nine-Tails remains. I think we should protect Naruto!"
"No need. Kumogakure is planning to hold the Five Kage Summit, right? I'll go. Naruto can come with me."
"Well, that's fine too!"
Nara Shikaku thought about it and realized that this was indeed the best protection for Naruto. He had witnessed Senga's strength and he was definitely the strongest fighter in the entire Konoha. Naruto would be safest with him by his side.
Looking at Minato, this father wasn't worried at all. Well, what could he do? He had a friend who had awakened the Rinnegan.
Itachi remained calm. Having directly experienced Senga's Rinnegan, he had a feeling that Senga's Rinnegan was definitely stronger than the Akatsuki Organization leader's, and by a significant margin!
Because those Rinnegan have twelve Tomoe!
