The New Pei Six Paths of Pain stood assembled!
Itachi's gaze darkened. "Rumor has it that only those connected to the Six Paths bloodline who wield a tailed beast's power, along with the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki—the most special of them all—can manifest those 'robes.' These six must have possessed far more chakra than ordinary people to have been chosen as Jinchūriki, but one thing is certain: they couldn't do this while alive!"
Sasuke switched his right eye to the Byakugan and saw the hidden modifications within the New Pei Six Paths of Pain.
"It probably... has something to do with those faces of Hashirama Senju on their chests."
Itachi understood at once. "Yes. Not just the eyes' projection—even the Demonic Statue's Hashirama Artificial Body has been replicated in them, raising the Jinchūriki's control over their tailed beasts to a whole new level. These New Pei Six Paths of Pain won't be easy to handle!"
Obito stood atop the Demonic Statue, looking down on the Three Sannin with contempt.
"Scatter!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The New Pei Six Paths of Pain scattered into six streaks of colored light, forcefully surrounding the three!
—Fire Rat Great Ball!
Yugito Nii's deep-blue Chakra Cloak blazed wildly... rat-shaped flames burst into dozens of terrifying fireballs a meter across, blanketing the ground beneath the three!!
Itachi said, "That technique covers a wide area..."
"Let me handle it!"
Nagato stepped forward, deploying the Preta Path's Sealing Barrier. The leading fireballs were instantly absorbed...!!
Slash! Slash!
