Roar...
Roar...
Roar...
Soul-chilling roars echoed continuously through the valley, accompanied from time to time by bursts of thunderous explosions. Even the ground far from the valley entrance could be felt trembling clearly!
Leaning on his three-bladed scythe, Hidan curiously asked Kakuzu beside him, "Hey, what's the leader doing in the valley?"
Kakuzu replied coldly, "No more nonsense. Our task is to stand guard."
Hidan curled his lip. "Who the hell would come to a godforsaken place like this?"
Kakuzu turned his gaze toward the distant valley, where roars and explosions continued to ring out. "Judging by the commotion, the leader is probably drilling the newly created Six Paths of Pain."
As one of the organization's veterans and Nagato's financial steward, he had some vague idea of what Nagato had been doing.
Hidan asked, "The Jinchuriki we captured?"
Kakuzu nodded lightly. "Yeah. Only the leader's Rinnegan can suppress so many Jinchuriki at once."
Hidan grinned. "Once this batch of Six Paths of Pain is finished, are we making a big move?"
Rumble...
All of a sudden, a dazzling flash erupted above the distant valley. Immediately afterward, a deafening blast and a massive shockwave swept violently toward the valley entrance!
Amid the sand and dust rushing at them, both Kakuzu and Hidan raised their arms to shield their faces.
Peering through the gaps between their fingers, they suddenly saw that a huge section of the valley's cliff wall had collapsed, leaving behind a massive breach. A churning mushroom cloud was slowly forming over the valley.
"Tailed Beast Ball!"
The term flashed through both their minds at once.
Ordinary ninjutsu could hardly possess such destructive power. Only a Tailed Beast Ball could so effortlessly level mountains and reshape the terrain to such an extent.
Boom...
Before long, a second blast rang out
