On the turbulent sea, the seawater was pushed aside by an invisible force, creating a dot that then turned into a crater.
That force spread rapidly outwards along the circular pit, making the pit bigger and deeper, stirring up huge waves that surged forth like a tidal wave.
Jiraiya's Jiraiya contracted slightly as he stared in astonishment at the approaching waves. Was this the Shinra Tensei mentioned in the intelligence reports? Such immense power!
As time passed, the enormous waves grew into a massive tsunami hundreds of meters high, sweeping towards everyone.
The large ship from the Land of Water desperately sailed outwards, and many ninjas wished they had an extra leg to run across the water.
Tsunade bit her finger, summoning a giant Katsuyu.
" Lady Tsunade!" The Katsuyu found itself on the sea surface as soon as it emerged; thankfully, it wasn't an ordinary Katsuyu.
"Protect everyone for me!" Tsunade commanded the Katsuyu.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade." The Katsuyu quickly split into smaller Katsuyu, which climbed onto everyone's shoulders.
The surging tsunami, though seemingly slow, was actually incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had arrived before everyone.
Looking at the massive tsunami, hundreds of meters high and thousands of meters long, Qing couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Is this something Ninjutsu can do?"
Sasuke's eyes quietly turned into red six-pointed stars, and purple Chakra surged from his body, forming a skull several meters tall.
In the blink of an eye, muscles and veins sprouted from the skeleton, and a layer of clothing covered it.
Susanoo!
The purple giant swung its fist forcefully at the oncoming massive tsunami. Its purple Chakra fist tore through the waves, only to encounter resistance as solid as a giant wall of bronze and iron. A vast and immense force swept over the purple giant, shoving it to the bottom of the water.
With a crack, the purple Susanoo shattered like a mirror, and a mouthful of blood spurted from Sasuke's mouth.
Hundreds and thousands of Naruto Rasengan, in groups of three, gathered Rasengan and hurled Naruto at the massive waves.
The towering water wall was riddled with holes by the Rasengan, and the ensuing powerful force turned countless Naruto into smoke.
Mei Terumi opened her mouth and spat out a huge wall of water, blocking her, Ao, and Chōjūrō behind her.
The massive wall of water, facing waves hundreds of meters high, shattered instantly, like a shovel blocking a chariot. The tiny Katsuyu clinging to their bodies were swept into the sea by the waves.
Tsunade shouted and swung her fist fiercely at the wave, parting the wave and striking an invisible wall of force.
With a cracking sound, it seemed that Tsunade had broken a hole in the force wall on this side, and the waves parted a line around Tsunade and continued to spread outwards.
Tsunade snorted coldly, straightened the broken bone in her hand with her hand, and Strength of a Hundred Technique to quickly repair the damaged cells.
After the waves subsided, there were no other ninjas standing around except for himself.
Fortunately, this wasn't on the ground; otherwise, given that Ninjutsu, probably few of the people present would have survived.
Jiraiya swam out of the water and stood on the surface again. He formed hand Hand Seals, and his white hair quickly grew longer, reaching into the sea to pull Naruto out.
Sasuke also swam out of the water. In a flash, he pulled Sakura and the Katsuyu out of the water, as the Katsuyu's short legs made it difficult for it to swim.
"Cough cough." Sakura coughed up seawater mixed with blood and foam.
" Sakura -sama," the Katsuyu called out, then clung to Sakura's body, continuously channeling Chakra to heal her wounds.
The giant crater created by Shinra Tensei was quickly filled with seawater, forming a second massive wave that crashed towards the group. Fortunately, this time there was no such invisible force.
Two large steel ships, one of which belonged to the Land of Water, was capsized on the sea.
Mei Terumi's face was as cold as she stared at Pain in the air. Most of the Kirigakure's ninjas had died in that last attack. She now wished she could melt Pain in the air into Utakata.
Naruto stared blankly at everything, the shape of his pupils rapidly changing, a pair of vertical pupils quietly appearing, a red Chakra tailcoat appearing on his body, and a red tail taking shape.
Pain leaped from the sky onto the sea, and five people dressed in red clouds and black robes quickly came to his side.
"So many people are still alive? It seems the suffering wasn't enough," Pain said calmly.
Jiraiya looked at Pain with sorrow in his eyes. " Nagato, how many people are you going to kill? This so-called suffering will never bring peace!"
Tsunade shouted, " Jiraiya! What's the point of talking to him? Just kill this dangerous individual!"
Pain scanned the crowd, his gaze finally settling on Naruto.
" Naruto is your student, right? Jiraiya-sensei." He extended his hand towards Naruto, " Banshō Ten'in!"
A tremendous, invisible force pulled Naruto's body, sending him flying towards Pain.
Jiraiya quickly reached out to grab Naruto's legs, but the immense force carried Jiraiya.
Jiraiya's hands were enveloped in red Chakra, with wisps of white smoke rising from them.
Sasuke looked at Pain with his orange hair, and his Amaterasu silently activated.
Bright red blood flowed from Sasuke's left eye, and he gritted his teeth, covering his eye.
Black flames appeared on Pain's body and began to burn fiercely.
The invisible force surrounding Naruto loosened, Jiraiya.
Pain raised his hand, looking at the black flames within. " Amaterasu?"
He casually gestured towards the sea beside him and summoned a huge, bizarre human head.
A petite woman nearby tore off Pain's other intact arm and threw it into the mouth of the severed head.
The raging flames reduced Pain to ashes, and with the sound of the head being chewed, it opened its mouth and spat out a whole new Pain.
Tsunade's gaze sharpened slightly. Was this the resurrection Shinsei had spoken of?
She looked at Pain and loudly addressed the crowd, "These six are not their true forms! Kakashi, Sasuke, you go find their true forms. Jiraiya, the Mizukage Jiraiya, and I will hold them off."
Kakashi and Sasuke bypassed the six figures in front of them and headed towards the large steel ship in the distance.
Pain looked at Kakashi and Sasuke, but made no further moves, instead continuing to observe the group before him.
"Killing you all here would surely bring pain to the Shinobi World."
"Stop talking big!" Naruto shouted angrily. "Those who only bring pain to others have no right to talk about peace!"
Pain shook his head. "You wouldn't understand the realm of gods."
After he finished speaking, the petite woman reached out and slapped the water's surface, summoning several enormous spirit beasts.
A large bird circled in the air, a giant dog growled at the crowd, and a huge crab waved its pincers.
The giant bird charged towards the group first, followed closely by the giant dog.
Suddenly, a flash of light Issen in the arena, and two boys appeared beside Tsunade.
Shinsei glanced around and complained to Minato:
"Has the fight already started? Minato, why are you always late, even with the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
