The figure vanished, and the barrier dissipated.
Looking at the empty, dilapidated room, Black Zetsu, all alone, appeared somewhat dazed.
The discussion was only halfway through when... where did everyone go?
Even if you have other plans in the dark, and only intend to use me...
At the very least, you need to put on a good show, right?
How can you just disappear halfway through a conversation?!
Black Zetsu shook his head silently and sank into the ground.
The situation is unknown, so it's best to go back to Obito's side and lie low for now.
That lovesick fool must be wondering about his own whereabouts.
"Katz, Katz!"
"Boom!"
An invisible, terrifying impact collapsed a hundred-meter-long bridge in the blink of an eye!
Deva Path Pain, floated in mid-air, looking down at the Konoha members on the sea, making a powerful entrance!
" Puppet Pain?!"
The Anbu in charge of intelligence gathering stood firmly on the sea surface and loudly reminded his comrades, "The portrait posted by the Land of Lightning — Dōjutsu that manipulates repulsion and gravity!"
Even without reminders...
If it's not an imposter!
Back when they fought Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade had already witnessed his terror!
Without wasting any time, Pain reached out and grasped the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
"Careful!"
Kakashi exclaimed in surprise the instant Naruto was pulled by gravity!
The Shuriken, crackling with lightning, hurtled toward Pain's head!
"Bite!"
With a crisp sound, Shinra Tensei deflected the Lightning Release Shuriken!
However, Pain's control over Naruto's Banshō Ten'in was also released at the same time.
Jiraiya turned to look at Naruto, his expression grave, and said, "Hurry up and go back to Mount Myōboku with the boss. If you stay here, you'll only put Sakura and the others in greater danger!"
Jiraiya knew what Naruto cared about, so he directly addressed the safety of his comrades, which was far more effective than trying to persuade him that the enemy was dangerous!
Glancing at his Genin companions' disheveled state, Naruto, who had just been nearly swept away in mid-air, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth inwardly!
Looking up and glaring at Pain's emotionless eyes, Naruto reluctantly replied, "Understood."
Upon hearing the answer, Jiraiya and Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief.
It's obvious that the newcomers' target is the Nine-Tails. If Naruto continues to be stubborn, that will be the real danger!
Without Little Jiraiya needing to say anything more, Fukasaku simply tore open the scroll with the inscription of the technique and floated it on the sea!
We have made corresponding preparations for various environments.
If it weren't for the water, Fukasaku wouldn't want Little Jiraiya to spend money.
After all, they'll need to ask Konoha for reimbursement for this scroll later...
Want to leave?
Deva Path Pain could make a move, missiles and lasers fired from the side instantly covered the entire team!
" Water Release · Water Formation Wall!"
Water Release: Water Dragon Barrage!
The marine environment naturally enhances the power of Water Release techniques!
The accompanying Anbu team is also playing its part!
"Sizzle!"
Before the summoning beast could even emerge from the seabed, Kakashi used Lightning Release to send a blue light directly to the seabed!
Seeing that many attacks had failed, Deva Path Pain raised his hand and pressed down!
A sudden, wide-range Shinra Tensei stopped Naruto's teleportation attempt!
"Boom!"
Calm sea, yet turbulent waves!
The Genin, who were being protected by the Anbu, were directly pushed into the sea!
The interval between the repulsive and attractive forces is five seconds!
If Naruto can't hold Pain back, he'll never be able to escape from Pain's sight!
Realizing this, Jiraiya and Kakashi leaped into the air!
Pulling off the mask, the throbbing in my left eye became even more pronounced!
But Kakashi, without having time to think, stomped hard on the bridge railing!
The electric sparks crackled and hissed.
A signature Chidori technique, swooping towards the figure high in the sky!
Jiraiya leaped into the air to Hand Seals!
" Chidori!"
Fire Style: Great Flame Bullet!
Two seconds left until the cooldown of Shinra Tensei ends!
But the Deva Path remained expressionless, floating in place without the slightest intention of dodging!
Scorching flames and bursting lightning drew ever closer!
The Preta Path suddenly crashed into the two's attack range, spreading its arms wide and revealing a mocking smile to them!
"Sizzle--"
Under the shocked gazes of Kakashi and Jiraiya, this terrifying Ninjutsu attack was completely absorbed by the suddenly appearing figure!
Seeing the wisps of white smoke rising from the man's hand, the two men solemnly distanced themselves!
The abilities of the Preta Path were not shown in the portraits released by the Land of Lightning.
To be precise,
There were six puppets in total. Apart from Deva Path Pain's abilities, they didn't fully understand the other five!
After all, the battle on the bridge had only lasted less than a minute!
Once the cooldown is over,
With Pain cold, clear gaze and a terrifying repulsive force, Jiraiya and Kakashi, who were in mid-air, were instantly blasted into the deep sea!
Rolling waves, towering billows!
The raging currents gave these six Genin no chance of safely transferring to another location!
Just as the Preta Path shifted its target and prepared to attack a group of Konoha Genin.
Jiraiya, his long white hair that had been used for defense to cover his entire body, climbed out of the water Jiraiya shouted, " Might Guy, that puppet that can directly absorb Ninjutsu is yours!"
Although the combined attack didn't work, it did test the abilities of one of the individuals!
Might Guy's pure Taijutsu is a perfect counter to the troublesome ability to directly absorb Chakra!
"OK!"
Might Guy responded loudly and sped across the water!
Kakashi, who was a step later to emerge from the sea, endured the pain and instantly took Might Guy's place. He and the Anbu squad, along with Naruto Genin, headed towards the stable bridge.
As Jiraiya said, Preta Path quickly gained the upper hand in the fight against the Might Guy Path, which could absorb Chakra!
Meanwhile, Tsunade Hiashi, who was still fiercely fighting against the Animal Path and the Asura Path, and Human Path and the Naraka Path, were also intentionally pulling the battlefield further away.
Create a safe environment for the Genin Kakashi is protecting to escape!
"Bang!"
Jiraiya summoned the gigantic Gamabunta, who looked up at the greatest threat, ready to strike at any moment!
Seeing the situation reach a stalemate, Nagato 'Nagato body in the distance increased his Chakra output once again!
I wanted to conserve my Chakra to deal with the Masked Man might appear at any moment.
But seeing that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was about to be transferred, Nagato no longer held back.
Pain's figure slowly rose, increasing the distance between him and Jiraiya.
"In the face of overwhelming power, nothing else matters."
A voice devoid of emotion, as cold as ice penetrating to the bone!
An aura far surpassing that of Kage Level! A massive amount of Chakra condensed and compressed!
"Super Shinra Tensei!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
A terrifying shockwave crashed down from the clouds!
The clouds, torn apart in an instant, along with the thick fog, revealed their terrifying power!
Its attack range is so wide that even Body Flicker Technique wouldn't be fast enough!
The expressions of everyone on the water froze, as if a heavy stone had been placed on their hearts!
Jiraiya reacted extremely quickly; as his pupils constricted, he instantly controlled Gamabunta and leaped Genin Naruto!
At the very least, we need to use Gamabunta's massive body to shield them from this impact!
Heaven and earth fell silent for a moment.
The water surface appeared solid, then collapsed in the blink of an eye!
Gamabunta's massive body, with his head raised, slammed violently into the bridge surface!
In the Setsuna the debris flew, the bridge trembled and then collapsed!
"Boom boom boom!!"
The suppressed sea roared in rebellion!
Wave after wave surged from the far distance, reaching heights of several hundred meters!
The thick fog dissipated, and I gazed into the distance.
This broken bridge has a gap of over a thousand meters!
