The Six Paths of Pain Arrive!

"You are strong, but you are still no match for me." Deva Path Pain said calmly. Although Shisui surprised him, he still believed he could win.

Three Shisui rushed over quickly, Pain counted in his mind.

"So that's how it is. You're so fast because you want to leave me no chance to catch my breath? To defeat me quickly? But that's impossible!"

Deva Path Pain swung his black rod, and despite being outnumbered three to one, he managed to withstand the attacks.

"Whoosh!" Pain's black rods pierced through one of Shisui's bodies smoothly. At the same time, another Shisui raised two fingers, extracting chakra while his eyes were fixed on Pain.

"I'm sorry! You failed to defeat me! Shinra Tensei!"

Deva Path Pain's words carried a hint of smugness. A tremendous repulsive force immediately emanated outwards from him, sending the three Shisui flying simultaneously.

At that moment, the three Shisui bodies suddenly vanished completely, transforming into countless crows that flew away.

"This is... Genjutsu? So that's how it is. Was it just now?" Deva Path Pain realized that he had seen Shisui's eyes and accidentally fallen under the Genjutsu.

"Fire Style: Dust Illusion Technique!" At that moment, Uchiha Masamune suddenly used a special Ninjutsu of the Uchiha Clan, and the surroundings were instantly covered by countless dust particles.

"Using dust to conceal oneself? To escape the hellhound's attack? That's a good way to avoid him."

"However, you underestimated your opponent. Cerberus has an even more acute sense of smell in addition to its sight!"

The Animal Path instantly located Masamune's trail and had the amplified and split Cerberus bite him.

"Ha! Candlestick Cut!" Masamune had already placed the Nodachi into the hellhound's mouth, and the hellhound's oral cavity was instantly burned.

"That move isn't for me," Masamune said with a smile.

"What?!" Only then did the Animal Path realize what was going on.

Because the vision of the Six Paths of Pain is interconnected, the Deva Path, which is under Genjutsu, needs the Animal Path to help it break free of the Genjutsu, or to observe its true form, transmit information, and then take appropriate actions.

However, thanks to Uchiha Masamune's Dust Concealment, the Animal Path's vision was essentially blocked.

Having already fallen under Genjutsu, Tendou was now like a headless fly, only able to decide whether to use Shinra Tensei to stop Shisui through some subtle perceptions.

"Hold him back! Summoning Technique!" Knowing the predicament of the Heavenly Path, the Animal Path immediately used the Summoning Technique again, summoning a bull that charged towards Masamune like a madman, thus blocking Masamune's advance.

At this moment, Shisui also transformed into Susanoo, charged up the Spiral Sword in his right hand backward, and then stabbed it forward in an instant.

"Summoning Technique!"

Unfortunately, the Animal Path once again used Summoning Technique to summon Pain, the Deva Path Pain, to its side.

"Release!" The Animal Path dispelled the Heavenly Path's Genjutsu, turning the original one-on-one situation into a two-on-two battle.

"The Mangekyō Sharingan shouldn't last too long, right?" Pain asked. "It seems you can't hold out much longer."

"The Rinnegan must put a lot of strain on your body, right? Overusing chakra will probably shorten your lifespan, won't it?" Shisui retorted sarcastically.

"The other Pain haven't appeared yet, which means they're fighting a tough battle, right? It's a pity that even though Lord Shiyu isn't here, you still can't harm the Shinobi Village."

Masamune, also panting, said.

After all, Masamune was getting on in years, and this kind of high-intensity battle was taking a bit of its toll.

"Cough, cough!" From a tree hollow not far away, Nagato began to cough. Konan immediately asked with concern, "Nagato, are you alright? What's wrong?"

"It seems I really underestimated the Uchiha Shisui Shinobi Village. Their top-tier ninjas outnumber the Five Great Shinobi Villages combined. Even Six Paths of Pain were struggling against them."

"Why don't we evacuate? Konan is very worried about your health," she said.

"For the sake of absolute peace, for the sake of our ideals, I hope you will never say such things again, Konan," Nagato warned.

"Okay, I'm sorry," Konan nodded.

"The number of enemies has increased." Nagato's face was covered in sweat, and he seemed to be struggling quite a bit.

The Asura Path was originally fighting Kisame and Zabuza when another powerful ninja arrived.

"Oh my god, what the hell is this? A puppet? No, isn't it the Asura Path? An artificial human?" The speaker was Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin.

"Orochimaru? What are you doing here? This is my battle, and I'm having a blast!" Kisame was fighting while simultaneously absorbing the Asura Path's chakra, enjoying himself immensely.

"This guy is a real battle maniac. Orochimaru, you'd better just ignore him." Zabuza was also quite speechless.

Meanwhile, in the Hell Path and Preta Path, Kakuzu and Gray Fang already held an absolute advantage. Hoshino Yu, a master of powerful Lightning Release, and Kakashi Nao, who inherited Gray Fang's swordsmanship, also arrived in time.

"Have all the Summoning Beast that were running rampant in the village been dealt with?" Graytooth asked.

"We took them down. Lord Fugaku is amazing; all the Summoning Beast were wiped out, so all of Jonin came to support him," Nao said.

"Where's Fugaku?" Gray Fang asked.

"I went to see the old clan chief," Nao said.

Meanwhile, countless powerful Uchiha warriors immediately arrived at the Deva Path and Animal Path, led by Fugaku Uchiha.

"Elder Chief, Shisui, you've worked hard. Now, let's fight together." Fugaku brought many Jonin, and Pain truly regretted it after seeing this.

"The Shinobi Village not only boasts a large number of top-tier combatants, but also undeniably holds the top spot among all ninja villages in both quantity and quality! Uchiha Shigure was hiding his true strength so well?!"

Nagato frowned, then smiled.

"I thought I wouldn't need it, but it seems I have to do it this time."

"Nagato, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

Nagato shook his head, his face pale, and said, "No, I just plan to use another move. Don't worry, I won't die so soon."

"By roughly estimating the time, Zetsu should have already gotten his hands on the One-Tails. We should at least get our hands on the Six-Tails, right? So..."

Nagato made his decision, then suddenly slammed his Animal Path on the ground and shouted, "Summoning Technique!"

Then all four Pain appeared before the Animal Path. The Six Paths of Pain appeared in one place at the same time, exuding an imposing aura.

Immediately afterwards, only the Heavenly Path and the Animal Path remained; the others vanished in a puff of smoke.

Following Pain's instructions, Konan summoned the rest back.

"All power has converged on the Animal Path and the Heavenly Realm! Ha!!!"

Nagato, Hand Seals. His face grew even paler, more sweat appeared on his forehead, and the black rods on his back were inserted even deeper, drawing out a significant amount of chakra once more.

"Cough

"Summoning Technique: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"
