Pain's Assault

Grandma Chiyo returned to Sunagakure with Gaara and Sasori's corpse.

Shiyu also used the Truth-Seeking Orb to fly towards the Shinobi Village at top speed.

It's impossible not to worry. After all, this is the ninja village that Shiyu built with his own hands, and he has a lot of feelings for it. He can't bear to see his village destroyed.

"It seems I was too lenient with the Akatsuki Organization before. I didn't expect them to pull this stunt on me." Shiyu was actually quite regretful. He hadn't wiped out the Akatsuki Organization from the start because he was afraid of interfering too much with the original storyline and Kagura Otsutsuki to reappear.

However, now that Kagura has made a promise not to interfere with Shiyu has made up his mind to eliminate the Akatsuki Organization.

Some time ago, in the distant Shinobi Village, the atmosphere was also tense.

"Summoning Technique!" A man with long orange hair and wavy eyes clapped his hands down, and a huge monster was summoned.

He seemed to only know how to use Summoning Technique, but he summoned quite a few monsters: giant rhinoceroses, giant lizards, and birds circling in the sky.

The ninjas of Shinobi Village had an extremely fast reaction speed and immediately activated the security system, putting the entire village into a state of combat readiness.

"Itachi, the village has been attacked. It must be Akatsuki," Shisui immediately rushed over and said to Itachi.

"Then let's go together and protect our village." Itachi slung his short sword over his shoulder and donned his imposing armor.

"I'll lead the villagers to an emergency evacuation. Your Mangekyo is more suited for combat, so the village is in your hands." Shisui was in charge of rescuing some villagers who hadn't had time to evacuate.

"Boom!"

"Knock knock knock!"

The village was ravaged, and Gray Fang asked in surprise, "Masamune, how come the reconnaissance teams didn't detect the Akatsuki Organization attack?"

"I don't know. The reconnaissance units have no intelligence on any enemy ninja attack. Even now, they only say there are a total of six enemies attacking," Masamune replied.

"Don't think about it anymore, Grandpa. The enemy might really only have six members, because that's how they can hide from the reconnaissance and sensory units," said Uchiha Yoshiki. "The most important thing now is to deal with the attacking enemy and ensure the safety of the village as much as possible."

"We can use the village's top ninja to fight these six enemies, the village's Jonin to fight the summoned Summoning Beast, the village's Chunin to rescue the villagers, and the village's Genin to guard against the enemy's attack."

Masamune looked at Yoshiki with great satisfaction and said, "Granddaughter, your thinking is so clear!"

"You're right, protecting everyone and repelling the enemy! That's the most important thing! Everyone! Listen to Yoshiki!" Masamune then immediately organized the Konoha Military Police Force and began rescuing the villagers and dealing with the Summoning Beast.

"I'll ask one last time? Where are the Six-Tails and the Three-Tails?" Pain demanded, grabbing a Chunin from the Shinobi Village by the throat.

"Aren't you going to tell me? I'll only ask you once, do you know or not?" Pain pressed again.

"Pah!" The Chunin didn't want to pay any attention to Pain. Pain's cold face was expressionless as he directly pulled the Chunin's tongue out.

"Hmph! Since you won't talk, then die." Pain then took out his black rod, preparing to kill the Chunin the spot.

"Whoosh! Bang!" The sound of shuriken flying through the air suddenly rang out, and this Pain immediately knocked all the flying shuriken down.

"Honestly, attacking the village while Shiyu was away, I suppose you're not exactly a remarkable person either?" The ninja who spoke also had a pair of cold eyes, and his face was completely covered by a mask.

He was dressed in a long black robe, clearly a master.

"Huh? Looks like you're some kind of high-ranking member of this little village, huh? I'll just ask you directly then." Pain was absolutely confident in his strength and didn't take the ninja in front of him seriously at all.

"The higher-ups aren't important. What's important is that the village you attacked represents a lot of my hard work and cost me a lot of money."

"Just thinking about this breaks my heart. I'm the village's treasurer, after all! You infuriating bastard! I'm going to kill you!" That person was none other than Kakuzu.

Kakuzu was already very strong, and after Shiyu helped him improve his potential, he became even stronger. While working hard to develop the Shinobi Village's finances, Kakuzu also frequently sparred with powerful ninja like Itachi, and his strength steadily increased.

"Earth Style: Earth Spear!" Kakuzu turned black, and then he threw a heavy punch at Pain.

Pain grabbed Kakuzu's hand, Kakuzu's arm instantly transformed into black tentacles, binding Pain tightly in a flash.

"Fire Style: Headhunter!" Kakuzu an extremely cautious ninja. To ensure victory, he naturally unleashed Fire Style, attempting to kill Pain before him.

However, at that moment, with a "whoosh!" sound, a figure appeared in front of Pain.

The Fire Style slowly disappeared, and a slightly overweight Pain appeared in front of the Pain from before.

"Oh? You actually absorbed my chakra? I see. You must be the Six Paths of Pain of Preta Path, right? And you, this terrifying fellow, must be the Hell Path?" Kakuzu asked directly.

"You? How did you know?" Pain felt very strange that the ninja in front of him knew his information.

"You should be able to absorb Ninjutsu, right? So the best person to deal with you is Taijutsu ninja, isn't that right?" As soon as Kakuzu finished speaking, a gray shadow jumped out.

"You're Pain again," he asked.

"Formerly Konoha's Gray Fang, now the head of the Shinobi Village's Inspection Department, Hatake Sanyu, please enlighten me!" Gray Fang also had one hand on his back, while the other was ready to extract chakra to use the Body Flicker Technique at any time.

"Don't forget, that Pain from the Preta Path can not only absorb long-range Ninjutsu, but he can also absorb the chakra of enemies he grabs," Kakuzu reminded him.

"Why...?" Pain's true form Nagato, was also extremely surprised at this moment.

"Nagato, what's wrong?" Konan asked.

"These guys are very familiar with the abilities of the Six Paths of Pain. However, I don't recall ever demonstrating them to them."

"Do we need to evacuate?" Konan asked.

"No need. If we don't take this opportunity to find the Three-Tails and Six-Tails, it will be even more troublesome when Shiyu returns," Nagato said.

"It seems we can only rely on the destructive power of the Heavenly Dao and the Asura Path," Nagato said.

"This Shinobi Village is truly a place where hidden talents abound. There are so many outstanding ninjas here," Nagato said, somewhat incredulously.

"Who else has appeared here?" Konan asked.

"According to Zetsu and Madara's intelligence, this guy was probably missing-nin and is currently fighting against the Asura Path."
