Susanoo Stage Three vs. Six Paths of Pain + Konan!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, several more days had passed.

Today, having just finished her morning duties, Tsunade Hime was off work.

However, as she stepped out of the Hokage building...

Tsunade Hime instinctively couldn't help but glance back towards the rooftop of the Hokage building!

She noticed that the red figure who had been there for the past few days seemed to be gone these past few days.

"Where did that guy disappear to?"

"I hope he doesn't cause any more trouble..."

"I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling."

Tsunade Hime murmured to herself as she looked in the direction of the rooftop.

The legendary ninja, Uchiha Madara, had returned to the ninja world.

Every move he made would bring about some kind of change to the entire ninja world!

It couldn't be helped; his strength was too immense. He had the ability!

And...

Naruto's body, where the Nine-Tails had been sealed, had now been taken by him.

He was already incredibly powerful, and now with the power of the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast, who knew what kind of terrifying strength that was!

Tsunade Hime shook her head, truly not daring to imagine it!

"If only Grandpa was still alive."

"The legendary Asura of the Ninja World, Uchiha Madara... it seems only Grandpa could suppress him back then."

After muttering these words softly to herself, Tsunade Hime finally turned and walked away.

At this moment, far outside the Land of Fire, At the border of the Lands of Wind, Earth, and Fire:

Amegakure!

This village was truly quite special.

It was almost perpetually rainy!

Because of the constant rain, the architecture of this village was quite distinctive, almost to the point of being called a steel city.

The houses that met the eye were all steel buildings!

A unique landscape!

During this time, on the streets of this steel ninja village, there were quite a few ninjas and villagers walking around.

The overall atmosphere and economy of the village seemed to be doing very well.

It seemed that the village's leader had managed Amegakure very well!

Tap—tap—

During this time, on the path where a crowd of Amegakure ninjas and civilians were walking, two figures, one large and one small, appeared.

It was an underage boy and an adult man!

The adult man had long hair reaching his waist and wore ancient Warring States-style red armor. The boy wore a black combat uniform with a bright clan crest printed on his back!

In addition, both the large and small figures wore straw hats at this moment, shielding them from the wind and rain while also concealing their naturally stern and extraordinary appearances.

These two figures, one large and one small, were actually Chen Yiban and Sasuke Uchiha!

They had now arrived at the Amegakure, the village of the Akatsuki Organization's leader from the original story!

Chen Yiban's target was none other than Uzumaki Nagato from the original story.

Well... let's take care of the Akatsuki leader first, and then deal with the others!

Also...

Nagato's Rinnegan...

"Teacher, why are we coming to this village?"

After Sasuke Uchiha had finished admiring the village's unique architectural style, he looked at Chen Yiban beside him and couldn't help but ask.

In response:

"The leader of this village is the leader of the Akatsuki Organization."

"Oh, you should already know..."

Chen Yiban said directly.

Upon hearing "Akatsuki Organization," Sasuke Uchiha's eyes instantly widened:

"Teacher, is it the Akatsuki Organization that Itachi Uchiha is currently in?!"

The Second Uchiha was a bit agitated, even unintentionally interrupting Chen Yiban's words.

Chen Yiban, his stern face hidden by his straw hat, gave a faint smile in response: "Mm!"

"Teacher, are we going to eliminate this organization?" Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but ask again.

At the same time, the figure of his current target of hatred, Itachi Uchiha, already appeared in his mind!

"Teacher, can you please not go after Itachi Uchiha?"

Suddenly, the Second Uchiha, also wearing a straw hat and shorter than Chen Yiban, pleaded with him.

"Oh? You want to kill him yourself, is that it?" Chen Yiban glanced at the kid beside him, who was only twelve or thirteen years old.

"Yes! Teacher!" The Second Uchiha directly nodded in admission.

"With your current strength, it's almost impossible," Chen Yiban shook his head and smiled.

"I know. But I believe with your guidance in training, Teacher, I'll quickly gain the strength to defeat that man!!" The Second Uchiha's face was full of determination.

Seeing this, Chen Yiban couldn't help but look at the Second Uchiha a couple more times!

He actually has some perseverance and courage, and enough confidence!

He really looks like the beginning of a powerful ninja!

And...

In this world, right now, Uchiha Sasuke is the reincarnation of this generation's [Kaguya · Indra].

If the Second Uchiha can awaken Indra's power, then defeating Itachi Uchiha fair and square wouldn't be impossible.

However:

"I don't necessarily have to kill anyone. If this can be resolved with words later, I might not even need to make a move!"

Chen Yiban said slowly as he walked at a leisurely pace.

Meanwhile:

Swish swish swish swish swish swish-----

Just at this very moment, six figures descended from the sky one after another, leaping down and landing on the street in front of Chen Yiban and the Second Uchiha.

Blocking their path!

And on the street...

The pedestrians who were there moments ago had all disappeared without anyone noticing.

This entire street, which had been bustling just now, suddenly became eerily quiet.

Chen Yiban had actually noticed this long ago. It didn't matter to him!

At this moment, the surroundings became so quiet that only the sound of raindrops hitting the ground and the faint whisper of the wind could be heard.

Besides that, there was the inexplicable oppressive feeling and a hint of eeriness emanating from the purple eyes of the six people opposite them.

This made the Second Uchiha feel a bit startled, but because his teacher, Chen Yiban, was by his side...

The Second Uchiha felt that there was nothing in the world to be afraid of!!

But:

"Teacher, their eyes seem to be..."

The Second Uchiha noticed the purple eyes of the six people opposite them.

"As expected, it's the Six Paths of Pain," Chen Yiban's lips curved into a faint smile beneath his straw hat.

At this moment, blocking their path were the Six Paths of Pain from the original story who had "invaded Konoha."

Hmm... also the ones who killed [Jiraiya] in the original story!

Speaking of which, Chen Yiban felt like he had unintentionally changed the plot. Could he be considered to have indirectly saved Jiraiya's life?

Although, Jiraiya had already lost an entire right arm because of him, Chen Yiban...

Alright, that's a digression!

"Sasuke, can you protect yourself?"

Chen Yiban suddenly spoke.

"Don't worry, Teacher. While I may not have the strength to kill that man yet, I've become stronger under your guidance!" Uchiha Sasuke directly activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan.

Whoosh---

At this moment, beside the Six Paths of Pain opposite them, a graceful figure with wings, resembling an angel, descended and landed beside the six.

It was Konan!

"Sharingan!"

Konan, who had just landed, couldn't help but murmur as she saw the pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan opposite her, as scarlet as blood.

And at this time:

"That's good!"

Upon hearing Sasuke's reply, Chen Yiban slowly removed the straw hat covering his head from the wind and rain.

Instantly, he revealed a head of handsome, flowing long hair, and...

A pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, as crimson and strange yet beautiful as blood!

Seeing this:

"Is that... Mangekyo Sharingan on the same level as Itachi Uchiha's?"

"Also, his posture..."

Konan, with her unique voice, spoke again.

"Uchiha, Madara." Deva Path Pain, among the Six Paths of Pain, seemed to be supplementing Konan's unspoken words.

He uttered a name that could not be ignored!

"Who was that man wearing the brown spiral mask earlier?" Konan remembered Obito Uchiha.

After all, "Obito" had always appeared before Nagato and Konan under the name "Madara."

But now...

It seemed that Chen Yiban, at this very moment, was the true Uchiha Madara!!

"Do you want to dance?"

At this moment, Chen Yiban opened his crimson Mangekyo Sharingan and looked at the Six Paths of Pain and Konan opposite him.

In response, Deva Path Pain's Rinnegan eyes narrowed slightly:

"Invader, you have already stepped into God's domain."

Deva Path Pain looked at Chen Yiban opposite him and spoke thus.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiban immediately laughed: "God? You mention God in front of me?"

The rain gradually soaked Chen Yiban's waist-length hair, but the aura of his Mangekyo Sharingan under his cold sneer grew stronger.

Konan felt as if the surrounding air had suddenly become chilling!

"Submit to me, and unify the nations of the ninja world. If you do, I can promise not to kill you!" Chen Yiban's Mangekyo Sharingan gaze coldly fixed on the seven figures opposite him.

His Mangekyo Sharingan met the Rinnegan head-on, Yet Chen Yiban's aura was clearly more dominant!

"You? Even if you are the legendary ninja Uchiha Madara, so what?" Konan showed a proud expression.

At the same time, she glanced at the Six Paths of Pain beside her: "The Rinnegan is the true power of God!"

"The Rinnegan, the power of God, that's true. But it depends on who uses it!" Chen Yiban gave a final wicked smile.

Then:

ROAR---

The tall, blue Susanoo Stage Three rose directly from the ground, letting out a beast-like roar.

"Is this the power rumored to be able to destroy all things, Susanoo?!" Uzumaki Nagato, the one controlling the Six Paths of Pain from behind, couldn't help but murmur from the shadows.

On the scene, Konan also looked with a solemn gaze at the dozens of meters tall Susanoo Stage Three, feeling its fierce and chilling Chakra...

Konan couldn't help but feel astonished in her heart: "Such powerful Chakra!"

Itachi Uchiha had always kept his trump cards hidden, so this was likely the first time she had ever seen something like Susanoo with her own eyes.

"Almighty Push!!"

At this moment, Deva Path Pain's eyes narrowed, and he directly unleashed one of the basic abilities of the Rinnegan towards Susanoo Stage Three.

Zing-----

Instantly, a powerful repulsive force surged and impacted the dozens of meters tall Susanoo Stage Three.

In response, within Susanoo's head, Chen Yiban's mind moved, and Susanoo immediately brought its hands together:

ZING BOOM-----

It blocked the repulsive force of Almighty Push!

"It actually blocked Almighty Push." Animal Path, among the Six Paths of Pain, said in a low voice.

And the next second:

"ROAR...!!"

To see that Susanoo not only blocked Almighty Push but also let out a roar, SWISH---

A Yatsuka no Magatama was directly thrown from the side towards the Six Paths of Pain in front.

"Almighty Push!!"

At the critical moment, Deva Path Pain once again unleashed Almighty Push, which timely repelled the Yatsuka no Magatama.

"The force is strong!" Deva Path Pain, having repelled the Yatsuka no Magatama, was a little surprised by the power of Susanoo.

"Careful!" Konan suddenly exclaimed.

Swish swish swish-----

It was Susanoo again, unleashing countless astonishing blue sword lights that continuously flew towards the seven people on this side.

Instantly, the Six Paths of Pain scattered!

Konan even spread her paper wings and flew into the sky!

Boom boom boom-----

However, the steel buildings in front suffered. Wherever Susanoo's sword lights passed, they were all torn to shreds.

Seeing this, Konan's expression turned angry.

The next second, she directly unleashed a rather special paper ninjutsu.

Countless small paper cranes flew towards the towering Susanoo Stage Three!

Then:

Boom boom boom boom boom-----

It was explosive tags!

At this moment, they continuously exploded on Susanoo, which had no way to dodge.

But, Afterward, the tall, blue Susanoo Stage Three stood before everyone, unharmed.

"It was completely useless?" Konan was slightly surprised.

"Banshō Ten'in!!"

Suddenly, Deva Path Pain pulled together the debris of the countless shattered steel houses into a massive Tekkai, and then violently flung it towards Susanoo.

Bang!!!

Susanoo Stage Three, with just one punch, shattered the giant Tekkai.

"Rinnegan, Summoning Jutsu!!"

On the other side, the Animal Path among the Six Paths of Pain began to summon a creature.

"Roar...!"

It was a giant wild bull. The moment it appeared, it charged ferociously towards Susanoo Stage Three.

Clang...!

Susanoo Stage Three, with its two faces and four arms, used two hands to block the charging giant bull.

Immediately after:

Zing—

One slash!

It was directly cut in half!

Boom boom boom-----

At this time, countless cannonballs bombarded them again.

It was Asura!

Susanoo Stage Three's four giant arms swung in rotation.

Soon, it shattered all the cannonballs!

Zing-----

Suddenly, laser cannons arrived.

Susanoo Stage Three couldn't help but bring its two hands together to block!

Then, under the impact of the powerful laser cannons, Susanoo Stage Three's feet plowed through the street for seven or eight meters before it could withstand this powerful laser cannon strike.

However, even though the laser cannon was powerful, it still couldn't break the formidable defense of Susanoo Stage Three!

"Turtle shell!" Konan muttered coldly.

"The enemy is really strong. But, Teacher is even stronger!" Second Uchiha, hiding behind Susanoo Stage Three, watched intently.

At the same time, Second Uchiha was filled with admiration and reverence for Chen Yiban!!
