When Konan came back to her senses, Pain beside her also began to move.
By then, the heavy rain that had been falling since the battle began was gradually easing, and Deva Path Pain's expression grew more serious.
"Now, it's time to finish them all off," Pain murmured.
As soon as Pain finished speaking, the four figures surrounding Shisui Uchiha and Itachi charged at them together, as though on cue.
Behind the Animal Path, his summoning beasts roared in unison, leaping past him to pounce on the two men in the center first.
Seeing the enemies closing in, Shisui Uchiha shook his head helplessly.
A genius of the Uchiha Clan, Shisui Uchiha excelled most at the Body Flicker Technique and genjutsu. Drawing on his strengths, he had even created the Instant Clone Technique to suit himself, earning his renowned title of Body Flicker Shisui.
Yet against the leader of the Akatsuki, who possessed the legendary Rinnegan, his genjutsu was far less effective. It was as though the man could see through his every move, leaving him constantly on the defensive.
