The last of them, the Human Path, fared even worse. His opponents were all soulless Wood Clones, while his abilities were reading Shixiao's memories and extracting souls. Against these Wood Clones, he was practically useless.
So, after learning how powerful the Wood Clones were from the Animal Path, he avoided them as well and headed over to join Deva Path Pain.
In response, the Wood Clones split into three groups. One headed toward the Asura Path, another went to support the three Wood Clones fighting the summoning beasts, and the remaining majority rushed toward the gathered Deva Path, Animal Path, Human Path, Naraka Path, and Preta Path, facing off against them.
Deva Path Pain had never expected Shin Uchiha's clones alone to be so troublesome. Without using his big moves, he had actually fallen into a disadvantage.
And that was with Shin Uchiha's original body yet to make a move. Deva Path Pain couldn't help feeling that things had become troublesome.
Then, just as the Animal Path reached Deva Path Pain, he suddenly formed hand seals and used his exclusive Summoning Technique.
As he pressed his hand toward the ground, the Asura Path, who was still fighting, and all his summoning beasts were summoned directly to his side, pulling them out of the battlefield over there.
By now, the Six Paths of Pain had stopped proclaiming themselves gods. Instead, they arranged themselves in a formation based on their respective abilities.
As the Six Paths of Pain gathered, the Wood Clones across the battlefield converged as well. The roles of attacker and defender had now reversed, and thirty Wood Clones surrounded the Six Paths of Pain.
Neither side made a move, however. The battlefield, bustling with action moments before, fell silent. Only the rain, which had eased into a drizzle, continued
