West of Konoha.
With his Swift Release ability, Hatake Sakumo moved as fast as a ghost. Even though the Asura Path launched numerous tracking missiles, they could not hit them. Instead, they were repeatedly collided and exploded by Hatake Sakumo's extreme maneuvers.
The Asura Path was shirtless, with six arms and four faces, and a long saw blade on its back. Its Rinnegan, trying to lock onto the figure of Hatake Sakumo.
Suddenly, the saw blade bent and went through the hole on the left.
boom!
The rocks on the ground exploded.
It didn't work out!
Immediately following a flash of blazing white light, an arm flew up from the right side of the Asura Path.
A moment later, one of the arms on the left side of the Asura Path was severed.
Hatake Sakumo retreated after a single attack, feinting to the east while striking in the west, waiting for an opportunity to weaken the Asura Path little by little.
Seeing that four of his six arms were missing, Asura Path suddenly pulled on his left wrist, unleashing a series of missiles that were all launched.
This time, instead of tracking, they launched a comprehensive bombing campaign.
At the same time, above the Asura Path's head, a mechanism activated, Chakra light shone forth, and laser beams condensed.
Rumble!
The large-scale explosions finally forced Hatake Sakumo to retreat, and he appeared on a ruined wall.
The Asura Path immediately locked onto the target, firing its Laser Cannon at the newly appeared Hatake Sakumo, hitting him precisely and turning him, along with the broken eaves and walls, into ashes.
Several Konoha, who were poised to attack, Jonin in surprise, "Lord Sakumo!"
Suddenly, the ground beneath the Asura Path cracked open, Hatake Sakumo burst forth, slashing upwards with his sword. A dazzling white light sliced Asura Path in two.
Clang!
The two halves of the Asura Path lay on either side like broken copper and scrap iron.
Hatake Sakumo landed a powerful attack but quickly retreated, appearing beside the other Konoha Ninja in a few leaps. He shouted, "Don't approach rashly! This isn't a living person, it's Puppet. Either seal it away or destroy it completely!"
Upon hearing this, several Konoha Jonin simultaneously unleashed their Ninjutsu.
Wind Release, Fire Release, Earth Release... It blasted the two halves of the Asura Path into shattered pieces before finally stopping.
On the south side of Konoha, Gamabunta suddenly exhaled a puff of smoke, then opened his mouth, and Pain's Human Path rolled out. Jiraiya followed closely behind, smiling easily, "Not as powerful as Genichi said!"
Gamabunta looked towards Namikaze Minato: " Minato has already taken care of two Pain!"
Jiraiya leaped onto Gamabunta's head and looked to the other side, where he saw two Pain lying on the battlefield covered with Flying Thunder God Kunai.
However, they are respectively the Naraka Path and the Preta Path.
"Still as fast as ever!"
Jiraiya sighed, and then Namikaze Minato appeared beside him. " Jiraiya- sensei, let's hurry and chase after Deva Path Pain, that guy is the strongest."
Although the Preta Path can absorb all Ninjutsu, including Senjutsu Mode, Minato Namikaze, with his Flying Thunder God Namikaze Minato, could easily defeat even a two-on-one situation.
After all, even without Ninjutsu, Minato Flying Thunder God Kunai Namikaze Minato was still quite lethal.
In terms of Taijutsu, he is second to none.
Not to mention, his power is greatly enhanced under Zero-Tails Sage Mode.
" Gamabunta, go to the Hokage Building. Deva Path Pain definitely heading towards the Shelter and Tsunade!"
Jiraiya shouted loudly.
Namikaze Minato looked up and saw figures soaring into the sky, followed by the shattering of meteors and continuous booming sounds.
"As expected of Genichi!"
Namikaze Minato smiled.
Gamabunta leaped forward, Jiraiya looked up at the sky. "This guy already knew about Nagato's situation, he must have been preparing for this for a long time, right?"
"But is that Susanoo?"
"When did Genichi get the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
"Could it be...?"
Namikaze Minato stated firmly, " Genichi wouldn't do that, Jiraiya- sensei."
"I think it must be Uchiha Namiichi's eye..."
Jiraiya was astonished. "People who aren't from the Uchiha Clan can also awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
Namikaze Minato chuckled, "That's Genichi!"
"This luck is really not good!"
Shiranui Genma sighed, "If I remember correctly, this guy can deflect any attack."
Yamashiro Aoba pushed up her sunglasses. "We can only attack during the cooldown period of a spell, and that time is very short."
Might Duy his fist, instantly opening the Eight Gates, and green Chakra light emanated from his body. "Leave the attack to me!"
Kakashi quickly said, "Uncle Dai, don't worry."
"Although we have information about this guy, dealing with him won't be so simple."
"Everyone, disperse!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Shiranui Genma and the other two immediately scattered.
Kakashi then rapidly Hand Seals and pressed his hands to the ground.
Earth Release, Earth Style Wall!
Four walls rose from the ground, surrounding Deva Path Pain, and dog heads were carved on the walls.
Swish!
Kakashi leaped over the stone wall, and the moment he landed, electricity crackled in his hands.
Storm Release: Storm Release: Thunder Tiger Double Kill!
Two Lightning Wolf, formed from Storm Release, charged out with a whooshing sound. Under Deva Path Pain's gaze, they turned and drew two arcs, attacking simultaneously from both sides.
Just as the attack was about to hit, as expected, the Lightning Wolf collapsed and scattered.
At that very moment, Yamashiro Aoba and Shiranui Genma appeared on the left earthen wall and launched their attacks simultaneously.
Wind Release: Wind Style: Breakthrough!
Fire Release: Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!
Boom!
When wind and fire combine, the flames surge like a vast ocean.
Deva Path Pain slammed his fist into the ground, and with a deafening boom, the earth shattered, sending a column of water soaring into the sky. This water collided with the surging sea of fire, creating billowing steam.
However, behind Deva Path Pain, Genichi leaped up from behind the earthen wall, opened his mouth and spat out a thousand sages covered in a layer of white light, which shot towards Deva Path Pain from behind at an extremely fast speed.
bite!
The senbon that was about to pierce the back of Deva Path Pain's head was bounced away.
"Now!"
Kakashi, his body crackling with electricity, vanished from his spot and rapidly approached Deva Path Pain. As he did so, a highly concentrated blue-purple lightning spear shot out, instantly covering a distance of ten meters.
Storm Release: Chidori Sharp Spear!
puff!
The Storm Release spear pierced through Deva Path Pain's shoulder, but Deva Path Pain immediately raised his right hand towards Kakashi.
Banshō Ten'in!
Kakashi's body was instantly pulled towards Deva Path Pain.
Storm Release spear dissipated, Deva Path Pain raised his left hand, and Black Receiver rapidly extended from his sleeve.
puff!
Kakashi's body was pierced by the Black Receiver, but they immediately transformed into dazzling lightning that enveloped Deva Path Pain.
" Lightning Shadow Clone?!"
"So..."
Deva Path Pain saw out of the corner of his eye that someone leaped up to his right.
It was Shiranui Genma who opened his mouth and exhaled, creating an arc of intersecting vacuum air currents.
Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!
"Too slow!"
Just as he was about to be cut into several pieces, Deva Path Pain used Shinra Tensei, and all the lightning on his body and Shiranui Genma's Wind Release were deflected.
"And me too!"
On the left wall, Yamashiro Aoba opened her mouth and spat out a fireball.
But the Divine Lord of the Divine Realm continued. The fireballs were deflected and scattered.
"Although the intelligence is fully in our hands, it's not something you people can control..."
Before he could finish speaking, Deva Path Pain in surprise, "So fast!"
He crossed his arms, but then his body was sent flying backward with a bang, embedding itself into the stone wall behind him.
It was Might Duy, who hadn't made a move until now, who, with the Sixth Gate open, kicked Deva Path Pain away with a single kick.
"Die!"
The ground cracked open, Kakashi emerged from underground, sword in hand. The Storm Release Chakra on his short sword flowed like water.
Storm Blade Secret Technique!
The Akatsuki's Hokage Cloak silently tore open, and then their chests were sliced open.
Kakashi's short sword was about to slice open Deva Path Pain's neck and behead him.
The short sword could not advance even an inch further.
Kakashi's eyes widened. "Damn it, is it still a little short?"
Just as Kakashi was about to be sent flying, a blue figure reappeared, sweeping a leg straight at Deva Path Pain's head.
It's Might Duy has opened Seventh Gate!
Shinra Tensei has begun!
However, to Deva Path Pain's surprise, the sweeping thigh was not deflected; the powerful repulsive force was shattered by the terrifying power.
boom!
The wall carved with a dog's head exploded, Deva Path Pain sent flying backward again, crashing into a house with a loud bang, after which the house collapsed.
"Well done, Uncle Dai!"
Kakashi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sheathed his sword, giving a silent compliment.
If it weren't for Might Duy, he probably would have been seriously injured by Shinra Tensei.
This Pain from the Deva Path Pain; he took a kick but was completely unharmed.
At that moment, Shiranui Genma and Yamashiro Aoba appeared beside the two, their gazes fixed on the ruins.
"This should be resolved by now, right?"
Yamashiro Aoba adjusted his sunglasses.
Shiranui Genma, "It should be resolved. The power of that attack..."
The sound abruptly stopped, Shiranui Genma's forehead. "No way?"
Yamashiro Aoba's voice was hoarse. "Is this Puppet indestructible?"
Kakashi looked at Deva Path Pain, who emerged from the smoke and dust, and said in a deep voice, "It's definitely not him, but this guy is extraordinary; he's a core member of the Six Paths."
Might Duy was also surprised. "If this didn't solve it, then..."
"Captain, you all retreat, leave this to me!"
Might Duy stepped forward and blocked Kakashi and the other two.
Kakashi's expression changed. "Could it be... Uncle Dai, you're going to activate that?"
Might Duy nodded. "That's the only move that can deal with this guy..."
Turning his head slightly, Might Duy, revealing his pearly white teeth, and said, "I'm leaving Kai in your care!"
"Uncle Dai..."
Kakashi was stunned.
At this moment, Deva Path Pain emerged from the smoke and dust, his gaze falling on Might Duy: "Pure power?"
"I never expected Konoha to have such a strong person as you. My apologies."
"But..."
Deva Path Pain raised his hand. "That's enough!"
" Genma, Aoba, disperse!"
Kakashi suddenly formed the "" seal with his hands.
On either side of Deva Path Pain, vines burst from the ground, completely binding his body and arms.
But the next moment, the vines shattered.
"Um?"
Deva Path Pain was about to gather his strength to finish off Kakashi and the others who had gathered together, he looked up and raised his hand as well.
Two Wind Style: Rasenshuriken hurtled towards them.
Shinra Tensei!
The two shurikens, which had been tracing an arc and avoiding direct contact, were instantly deflected and vanished without a trace.
But then a long sword slashed down, Gamabunta's enormous figure descended from the sky. "Die!"
However, the long sword could no longer fall when it was still some distance from Deva Path Pain's head.
Immediately following a clang, the long sword flew horizontally, spun several times in the air, and then plunged into the ground with a sharp clang, trembling incessantly.
"Damn it!"
Gamabunta's body fell backward uncontrollably.
Namikaze Minato then leaped into the air, throwing out the Flying Thunder God Kunai.
Pain dodged to the side, and Deva Path Pain Namikaze Minato Deva Path Pain. Minato grabbed Flying Thunder God Kunai with his left hand, while his right hand held a Rasengan that was black on the outside but contained a ball of purple flame inside.
Boom!
Deva Path Pain pounced, the ground exploded, and debris flew everywhere.
"What?"
Deva Path Pain was utterly astonished, but then he realized. " The Yellow Flash of Konoha, the husband of the former Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... Damn it, I can't move."
On his back, the Rasengan spun at high speed, easily tearing his Hokage Cloak to shreds, followed by his flesh.
Namikaze Minato twisted his wrist, causing the Rasengan to expand, but he vanished instantly and reappeared next to Gamabunta.
Boom!
Where Deva Path Pain was located, purple light expanded into a huge sphere, inside which purple flames raged and burned wildly.
When the light faded and the purple flames died down, only a corpse remained, its back almost pierced through and its body charred black.
"Sharp!"
"That's too fast!"
Shiranui Genma and Yamashiro Aoba exclaimed in unison, "As expected of the Yellow Flash!"
Kakashi let out a long sigh of relief, "As expected of Minato-sensei!"
Might Duy was charging up for his ultimate attack, scratched his head. "Looks like you don't need me anymore!"
Standing next to Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya exclaimed in surprise, "By the way, when did you learn this new technique?"
Namikaze Minato chuckled, "It's Kekkei Genkai I acquired just a few days ago, a bit of an unexpected one."
Jiraiya's face twitched. " Kekkei Genkai?"
Namikaze Minato nodded. "Yes, it's formed by the fusion of Lightning Release and Fire Release, called Scorch Release: Zero-Tails Black Zero Style Purple Flame Big Ball Rasengan... However, I originally planned to fuse Wind Release with Lightning Release, or with Fire Release, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
Jiraiya was speechless for a moment, then finally opened his mouth and muttered, "Hey, this name is way too long!"
Namikaze Minato immediately gave an awkward smile.
The Gamabunta furious. "Hey, you two, at least show some concern for me!"
At the same time, on another battlefield.
"Finally solved..."
Uchiha Inabi looked at the corpse of the Animal Path and gasped for breath.
Chameleon can become invisible, a kind of stealth technique similar to the Iwagakure Camouflage Technique. They can perfectly blend into their surroundings, remaining undetected and even concealing their scent.
However, the Sharingan can perceive the flow of Chakra.
This leaves Chameleon nowhere to hide.
The rooftop of the Hokage Building.
The Wheel Puppet Clone of Pain, who was observing the Deva Path Pain, was somewhat surprised. "A fusion of Lightning Release and Fire Release in Flame Scorch Release, interesting..."
Last time he used a cheat code, Namikaze Minato didn't cultivate such Kekkei Genkai in the next ten years.
That's perfectly normal, though. The future he envisioned was one of extraordinary possibilities. Although there were many uncertainties, it was different nonetheless.
The greater one's strength, the more impactful their every move can be on their surroundings, drastically altering the future.
The Six Paths of Pain have been dealt with, and the meteorites in the sky are no longer a threat.
The Wheel Puppet Clone immediately turned its head and looked west.
