Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags was an infinitely detonating ninjutsu. A single explosive tag could continuously summon an endless stream of explosive tags to one point, triggering an infinite chain of explosions!
Deva Path Pain's Shinra Tensei was indeed absurdly powerful. It could repel all matter around it—people, objects, even intangible ninjutsu—but against the forbidden technique of Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags, it was in an awkward position.
That was because Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags was a Summoning Jutsu. It infinitely summoned explosive tags from the Great Snow Mountain in the Land of Snow and detonated them directly.

It could repel neither.
So the explosions could not be stopped.

He had actually cut off that wrist with remarkable calmness!
The explosions behind him slowly subsided. That severed wrist had already been blasted into bloody pulp, which evaporated in the scorching air currents and vanished completely!
"You actually dared to damage Yahiko's body... Unforgivable!!"
Deva Path Pain's eyes gradually radiated terrifying ocular power, surging like raging waves and crashing toward Houka in rippling pulses.
Crackle!
Stimulated by the other's ocular power, the lightning armor around Houka's body
