This battle was far from over!
And with the offensive effect of [Shinra Tensei], Deva Path Pain forcibly divided the battlefield.
His original plan had been to force the Six Paths of Pain and the six opposing Konoha Ninja into one-on-one fights, pairing them off to battle to the death.
But he had not expected the Second, Fourth, and Fifth Hokage to be so fast.
Before the other Pain bodies could find their opponents, the Second Hokage and the others had already found their teammates.
As a result, the opposing Konoha Six-Person Squad had formed three pairs rather than six individuals.
Deva Path Pain narrowed his eyes slightly, chakra surging through his [Rinnegan].
Pairs it is, then!
Two against two is still better than one against six!
But what Deva Path Pain thought was one thing.
How this battle would actually play out was another!
Once Uchiha Minamoto had brought out the other five,
Konoha had seized an iron grip on the initiative in this battle!
The Six Paths of Pain focused all their attention on the Konoha Six-Person Squad before them.
But the enemies Uchiha Minamoto and the others needed to deal with were not just the Six Paths of Pain. There was also Obito Uchiha!
That was how Konoha Ninja were.
Obito Uchiha and the Six Paths of Pain only needed to think about steamrolling the Five Kage Summit head-on.
But the Fifth Hokage had so much more to consider.
"Stick to the original plan!"
At Uchiha Minamoto's sharp command, the Konoha Six-Person Squad immediately sprang into action.
Those with bonds could reconnect; those with grudges could take revenge.
Led by Jiraiya, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Princess Tsunade-the four of them together-faced the Six Paths of Pain.
"Nagato, stop this."
Looking at his former student, Jiraiya earnestly
