A terrifying pressure swept through the hearts of everyone present.
Unlike the Raikage, Ai had a very clear objective: to stop this monster from fully taking shape at all costs.
It would be even better if he could kill the controller before that happened!
Relying on his speed, reputed to be the fastest in the Shinobi World, he darted through the battlefield like lightning, evading every enemy and heading straight for Pain.
At the same time, his partner, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B, moved in coordination with him.
An enormous Tailed Beast Bomb condensed in its mouth and flew toward Pain at the very center of the battlefield like a precision-guided missile.
"The Eight-Tails? Perfect."
A sacred gleam flashed within Pain's pale-purple Rinnegan.
Facing the combined assault of the Tailed Beast Bomb and Ai, he slowly rose into the air and spread his arms.
"Shinra Tensei!"
A powerful repulsive force appeared from nowhere, like an invisible wall that violently sent the high-speed Ai flying.
Not only that, the Tailed Beast Bomb came to a halt in midair before being bounced back into the Allied Shinobi Forces, where it erupted in an incomparably violent explosion!
"I no longer have time to waste on you."
Pain spread his arms once again and slowly ascended, murmuring under his breath.
"Feel pain."
"Think about pain."
"Understand pain."
"Those who do not understand pain cannot understand peace."
"From this moment onward, feel pain!"
"Super Shinra Tensei!"
Pain's entire body was swallowed by black shadow, with only his Rinnegan shining like the eyes of a god.
The next second, an utterly terrifying repulsive force erupted from Pain as its center.
The air, the ground, the rocks—everything was effortlessly destroyed before this godlike power, as though it were nothing.
The surging shockwave madly swept through everything around
