Chapter 188 |
Konoha Village.
Flames burned and smoke billowed. From time to time, buildings collapsed and turned into ruins.
The huge Chibaku Tensei, wrapping around five tailed beasts and thousands of ninjas, hung quietly in the air.
The battlefield below fell into an eerie silence. Everyone raised their heads and looked up at the sky with shocked expressions.
Taking advantage of this opportunity.
The Preta Path recovered the corpses of the Animal Path, Shura Path and Human Path.
At this time.
Naraka Path, who had been hiding at the back without taking any action, finally stood up and formed a seal to cast a jutsu.
Psychic art.
As the ground shook, a ferocious King of Hell with the word "王" engraved on his forehead rose from the ground.
He saw it opening its big mouth, sticking out a long purple tongue, and rolled the three dead Pain into its mouth one after another, and chewed them up.
Crunch, crunch.
After a terrifying chewing sound, the King of Hell opened his mouth again and spat out the three Pain intact.
The Shura Path, the Animal Path, and the Human Path are all resurrected.
Pain six paths are complete again.
Seeing this scene, both the coalition ninjas and the Konoha ninjas felt complete despair.
It turns out that the defeat of Pain was just an illusion from beginning to end.
God is invincible.
On the tower in the distance.
Tsunade opened her lips slightly, looked at the sky with the same shock, and murmured:
"Is this the power of the Rinnegan?"
Through contact with the Uchiha clan, she has learned a lot about the secrets of the Sharingan. One of them mentioned that the Rinnegan is the product of the ultimate evolution of the Sharingan.
It is indeed an eye that is superior to the Mangekyo Sharingan.
She came back to her senses and turned to look at Dan aside, wanting to see the expression on his face at this time.
Unexpectedly, Dan looked calm:
"That Pain used technique called Chibaku Tensei. It is said that the Six Paths Sage used the Chibaku Tensei to create the moon in order to seal his mother."
"The moon?!"
When Tsunade heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then she raised her head to look for the moon in the sky, but unfortunately she couldn't see it in broad daylight.
This kind of legend… is probably not true, it is too exaggerated.
It was hard for her to believe it.
Just when Tsunade was flabbergasted.
"Hey, aren't those the Sandaime and Jiraiya, and the Daimyo of the Fire Country? Are they planning to abandon Konoha and run away?"
Dan voice sounded again, with a joking tone in his tone.
Hm?
Tsunade followed Dan's line of sight and saw, as expected, the daimyo, escorted by Jiraiya and the Sandaime, escaped from the west gate of the village.
As Dan said, they abandoned the Konoha ninja and the village.
"…"
Tsunade didn't know what to say, and a trace of deep disappointment flashed in her eyes.
And the center of the battlefield.
Pain six path have made new moves.
After shocking everyone with a move called Chibaku Tensei, Heaven Path rose into the sky and approached the huge sphere in mid-air.
He sensed the situation inside the sphere and successfully found their location through the special chakra emitted by the tailed beasts.
Next.
Heaven Path opened his hands and released a suction force. With a few "crack" sounds, five figures rushed out of the surface of the sphere.
Astonishingly, they are Karatachi Yagura, Utakata, Killer B, Yugito and Han.
The five jinchūriki fell into a coma under the internal squeeze of the Chibaku Tensei.
Before they wake up again.
Heaven Path shot out several black rods from his sleeves and inserted them into the bodies of the five people respectively, sealing their acupoints and chakra flow.
In this way, these Jinchuuriki completely lost their ability to resist.
Whoosh.
Heaven Path landed back on the ground and glanced around.
"That guy looked over."
Both the ninja coalition and the Konoha ninjas couldn't help but feel very nervous, with fear written on their faces, fearing that they would become Pain's next target.
Onoki even hid far away, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, guessing Pain's next move.
With the strength Pain showed today, he might completely defeat the Ninja Alliance here, and then seek to unify the five Ninja Villages and become the Lord of the Ninja World.
After all, no one can stop Pain.
To everyone’s surprise.
Snort.
Heaven Pain just snorted disdainfully, then withdrew his gaze, and then took the five jinchūriki with the other Pain and prepared to turn around and leave.
From beginning to end.
Pain's ambition, or the purpose of the Akatsuki organization, is not to unify the ninja world.
If he uses force to unify the ninja world, it will inevitably trigger a larger-scale war. By then, not only Konoha, but many small countries and ninja villages will also be affected.
The entire ninja world will be plunged into a long war, and it is unknown how many innocent civilians will die.
Just like the Amegkure during the Second Ninja War.
And.
Pain knew very well that even if he really unified the ninja world, so what?
When one day he is gone, the ninja world will inevitably split again, and war will break out again, sinking into an endless cycle of separation and reunification.
The first Hokage used absolute force to maintain peace in the ninja world. As a result, as soon as he died, no one in the major ninja villages obeyed anyone, and the ninja world war soon broke out.
Pain does not intend to go through Senju Hashirama's path of failure again.
This is why he captured the tailed beast.
Today’s mission was fruitful.
Counting the Nine Tails, Pain captured six tailed beasts at once. As for the other three tailed beasts, Akatsuki personnel also captured them.
As long as you gather the nine tailed beasts and feed them to the Gedo Statue to devour, you can create the ultimate weapon.
The power of that weapon is enough to destroy any country and ninja village, and instill deep fear in everyone living in the ninja world.
And the power of fear will form a deterrent, so that every ninja village will not dare to start another war.
At that time, the ninja world can get out of the shadow of war and live in the bright sunshine forever.
This is the only way to achieve peace.
Pain firmly believes in this.
Seeing the six Pain leaving, among the tens of thousands of people present, no one dared to step forward to stop him.
At this time, the jinchūriki of each village, including the Mizukage Yagura, were taken away by Pain, the Kazekage Rasa died, and the fourth Raikage was still in the Chibaku Tensei.
There was only one Tsuchikage left, Onoki, who hid further than anyone else.
This war was originally an encirclement and suppression campaign launched by the Ninja Alliance against Konoha, but as a result, almost all the Kage-level experts on the coalition side died.
After Pain leaves, where will this war go?
Many people feel confused.
Suddenly.
Following a sharp sound piercing the air, a telegraph pole flew from a distance like lightning and struck directly at Six Path Pain.
Shura Path turned around first and fired a missile from his arm. With a bang, the oncoming telephone pole was blown into pieces.
There are still people seeking death?
Heaven Path and the rest of Pain also stopped and turned around.
Who dares to take action against Pain?
Countless eyes looked towards the end of the street, only to see a tall figure slowly approaching.
The man was two meters tall, wearing a wide, high-collared blue robe, and a pair of scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan eyes, exuding a sense of oppression.
Uchiha Dan.
At this moment, tens of thousands of Konoha ninjas and the ninja world allied forces followed Dan's figure with bated breath and eyes intently, walking through the ruins to the center of the battlefield.
At last.
Dan stopped and looked at Pain from a distance of more than ten meters.
His appearance stirs everyone.
Uchiha Dan, why did you attack Pain at this time?
Is it to protect Konoha, to prevent Pain from taking away the five tailed beasts, or for other reasons…which side is he on?
Every step this man takes is always unexpected and unpredictable.
After a few seconds of silence.
Heaven Path took a step forward, looked at Dan indifferently, and said calmly:
"You are Uchiha Dan, we finally meet."
Dan is the name that Pain has heard the most in the past six months.
For this person, he didn't care at first.
But later it was learned that Dan led the Uchiha people to destroy Obito's lair "Mountain Cemetery", which finally aroused Pain's interest.
The strongest man in Uchiha seems to have quite a lot of momentum, but I don't know… he actually has some abilities.
Different from others.
Pain did not shy away from his gaze, and was not worried at all about being controlled by the other party's illusions, because in front of his Rinnegan, the Sharingan was not worth mentioning.
"Oh? Judging from your tone, it seems that you have wanted to see me for a long time."
Dan also had a calm expression on his face, not at all intimidated by Pain.
"In this ninja world, there are not many people who can arouse the interest of gods. You can barely count as one."
Heaven Path was aloof and commented on Dan, "Your strength is not bad. It's a pity that you couldn't become the Hokage in Konoha, so you instigated the Uchiha clan's coup. After the plan failed, you betrayed the family and returned to Konoha. In the end, you were attacked The daimyo is dismissed.”
Speaking of which.
Heaven Path shook his head, showing great disdain for Dan's series of actions, and sighed:
"Another poor guy who lost his way in life in pursuit of power."
After hearing the words, Dan chuckled:
"It sounds like you know me very well."
"Of course, gods always understand mortals ugly appearance better than them, because gods always stand on a higher place and look down, seeing more clearly."
Heaven Pain's eyes flashed, and the arrogance in his words was fully revealed.
There is naturally a reason why he talks so much to Dan.
Heaven Pain's previous plan was to kill Uchiha Dan, but after seeing him, he temporarily changed his mind.
Because.
The current Akatsuki has lost a lot of talents.
With the deaths of Orochimaru and Sasori, Obito expulsion took away masters like Zetsu and Kisame, resulting in a serious shortage of Akatsuki's high-end combat power.
Although Pain is omnipotent, he cannot do everything by himself, as that will exhaust him to death.
The Uchiha Dan in front of him seems to be a good recruitment target.
Thinking of this.
Heaven Path spoke again and formally extended an invitation to Dan:
"Uchiha Dan, I can give you a chance to survive, that is to join the Akatsuki organization and serve me."
Talents are all arrogant, especially the ones that Akatsuki likes.
But this is not a problem for Pain.
If the other party disagrees, then beat him until he surrenders. When recruiting Kakuzu and Orochimaru, Heaven Path did this, and the effect was very good.
Dan's answer was once again unexpected.
"Okay, sure."
Facing Heaven Path's invitation, he grinned and agreed readily, "To be honest, I'm tired of Uchiha's clothes, and Akatsuki's cloak looks better."
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding crowd was in an uproar.
Many people originally thought that he came out at this time to stop Pain, but their impression of him has changed a lot.
Unexpectedly, Dan actually wanted to join Pain.
This man betrayed his family and village, had no principles and bottom line, and was indeed an extremely evil person.
Even Heaven Pain was stunned for a moment.
But then he remembered that when he wiped out three thousand Konoha troops, the news spread back to Konoha, and Uchiha Dan shouted that he would lead the entire Uchiha clan to surrender to Amegakure.
Now it seems that Dan is indeed a smart man, and he has long realized the power of Pain's Six Paths.
Those who understand current affairs are heroes.
A sound judgment, just to join Pain and the Akatsuki organization.
But is it?
After agreeing to Pain's invitation, the latter was surprised by what Dan said next.
"However, since you are recruiting me, you should come in person. Hiding behind a few puppets seems a bit insincere, right?"
Dan kept looking at Heaven Path and the crowd of Pains behind him, and asked with a half-smile.
Heaven Path suddenly frowned and looked sharply: "What do you mean?"
Dan still looked calm: "Stop pretending, Nagato. I want to talk to you face to face."
His goal is to recover Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan, and those eyes are on Nagato.
Dan agreed to join Akatsuki in order to see Nagato and take away his eyes.
Hearing Dan said the name Nagato.
Pain Six Path immediately opened their stance and entered a fighting state.
Heaven Path looked at Dan coldly, his eyes getting sharper.
It turns out that the other party has already seen through the secret of Pain's Six Paths, and he also knows that his real body is nearby.
In this case, this Uchiha Dan can no longer stay.
"I changed my mind, you must die."
After Heaven Path said these words, he raised his right hand and pointed his palm at the Dan more than ten meters away.
Universal Pull!
Dan immediately lifted his feet off the ground and floated into the air.
"Its happening!"
When the ninjas outside saw this scene, their eyes widened. Although it's not clear what happened, it seems that Pain and Dan have broken down again and want to fight to the death.
Will Uchiha Dan follow in the footsteps of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa?
"Is this the Universal Pull? Manipulating people like puppets, it is worthy of the Rinnegan."
Continuously feeling the gravity acting on the whole body, Dan commented, calm and composed.
How to crack this trick?
Dan smiled slightly and looked forward. The focus of his eyes fell on the back of Pain Six Path, and his pupils suddenly dilated.
Explosion of pupil power.
Heaven's drive, activate.
The next moment, Dan figure flashed and disappeared from the place.
He appeared in the middle of Six Path Pain. Due to the super-speed movement of his body, the friction with the air produced a burst of white smoke, which curled up.
What?
Heaven Path was startled, feeling the aura coming from behind him, and subconsciously wanted to use Shinra Tensei.
However.
"Shin…" As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Dan’s voice, like a bell blasting in his ears.
Dan opened his arms and shouted expressionlessly in a cold tone:
"Shinra Tensei!"
My Shinra Tensei is faster than you.
