The Yata Mirror and Totsuka Blade-You'll Be My First Victim!

Ren stood at the rear of the battlefield, his gaze fixed on the shattered crimson Susanoo.

With that last punch, Itachi had pushed Susanoo's power to its limit. Yet Deva Path Pain had merely raised a hand and smashed through its bones head-on with Shinra Tensei.

And that had been no ordinary repulsive force.

Deva Path Pain had compressed all that force into a single point. Instead of spreading outward, it had struck directly in front of the crimson fist.

The resulting impact could have shattered a mountain.

Ren slowly narrowed his eyes.

"Obito and Black Zetsu have done a lot of preparation."

Under normal circumstances, Nagato could not have given the Six Paths of Pain this much power.

Hashirama's Cells, the Uzumaki clan's vast Chakra, and the Rinnegan's own power had pushed Nagato's entire combat system far beyond its former level.

Deva Path Pain in particular stood out.

The interval between uses of Shinra Tensei had clearly shortened, and its repulsive force was far stronger than Ren remembered.

The other Paths of Pain were no weaklings either.

The Asura Path's weapons, the Animal Path's summoned beasts, and the Preta Path's absorption ability had all been enhanced.

Their coordination had tightened as well. They were no longer six puppets acting separately, but one complete combat system.

"Now this is an interesting Six Paths of Pain."

Ren did not step in immediately.

He had come to the battlefield himself, but not because he feared the Uchiha Shrine could not defeat the Akatsuki Organization.

The Temple now had dozens of Kage-level fighters and several Squad Captains capable of using Forbidden Techniques.

Even without him, the Six Paths of Pain and the other members of the Akatsuki Organization would struggle to hold out to the end.

What truly interested Ren was Nagato's Rinnegan.
