On a hillside outside Konoha.
Deep inside the Tree Hollow, Nagato slowly opened his eyes. His Dojutsu Power showed signs of running wild.
"Nagato?" Konan seemed to have guessed what had happened.
"The Six Paths of Pain have all been destroyed."
Nagato growled through gritted teeth, his face twisted with rage. "Damn Gekko Hayate!!"
"We have to retreat." Konan wasn't angry. If they couldn't do it this time, they could try again later. The most important thing was that everyone was safe.
Besides, with Kisame Hoshigaki and Kakuzu's strength, capturing the Three-Tails wouldn't be difficult. So they had still gained something from this trip!
Nagato's face was full of hatred and unwillingness, but after Konan urged him, he could only nod and agree to retreat.
After taking out Deva Path Pain with Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, the two repulsive forces over Konoha gradually dissipated. The pixelated sky finally revealed its blue expanse.
Hanfu, clad in the Green Chakra Cloak, slowly descended. He was just about to enjoy a wave of cheers when he realized that, aside from a few ninja left to clean up the aftermath, there wasn't another person below.
Fortunately, one of the messengers told him the Fourth Hokage had gone to the Anbu Building.
Hanfu gazed into the distance and spotted the towering Sea of Trees that had suddenly appeared near the Anbu Building.
He immediately turned into a Green Long Rainbow and shot over, sensing the Sea of Trees for Orochimaru as he drew out a Truth-Seeking Orb and prepared Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
As soon as he found Orochimaru, Hanfu came swooping down from the sky atop a forty-meter Golden Light Sword.
Boom!
A dazzling Golden Sword Light tore through the air, cleaved through the Sea of Trees, and plunged arrogantly into its heart!
