"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Countless clouds of smoke rose as hundreds of Shuriken split off and shot toward the Pains!
"Momo... fiftyfold speed!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately activated his Fruit ability. In an instant, the countless Shuriken turned into afterimages, shrieking sharply as they struck the enemy at speeds that broke the sound barrier!
And because they were physical attacks, the Preta Path's Sealing Absorption Technique was useless.
Deva Path Pain's expression did not change. This time, he had been prepared to react in advance.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Deva Path Pain's pupils contracted, and immense ocular power instantly swept through the surroundings!
The tangible repulsive force was enough to uproot a small mountain!
Countless Shuriken were halted by the repulsive force, floating motionlessly in midair.
"Back!"
With a cold shout from Deva Path Pain, his ocular power erupted once more, about to return all those Shuriken to Sarutobi Hiruzen!
"..."
A hint of mockery appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face as he looked at the Shuriken floating motionlessly in the air before him, finding it rather amusing.
Shuriken accelerated fiftyfold were naturally not so easily stopped.
Even with the Rinnegan's ocular power, after halting those Shuriken, it no longer had the momentum to send them back.
"Hmph!"
Deva Path Pain noticed this as well and snorted coldly.
Asura Path Pain stepped forward, and several missiles burst from his body, flying toward Sarutobi Hiruzen!
"Come to think of it,"
"I should count as being at the level where brute force works miracles now, right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen completely ignored the incoming missiles. Missiles of that caliber were not even enough to scratch an itch.
He clapped his hands together, and whatever he wanted came at once!
"Earth Release: Earth World Descent!"
"Rumble, rumble, rumble!"
Vast Chakra surged into the ground, transforming into solid Earth Release nature
