Chapter 108 - Naraka Path and Animal Path

Itachi looked at his objective, Nagato's Naraka Path, a tall stocky mand with spiky orange hair and with multiple piercings, such as a circular stud on the bridge of its nose, a diagonal row of studs on each of its cheeks, three spike piercings in each of its ears, and a stud on each of its shoulders near its neck.

Then Itachi use the Kagebushin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique) and create a clone to move the Chunin, that was still near the Naraka Path, to a safe place, then he uses the Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique) to force the Naraka Path to distance himself once again.

Itachi's clone then took advantage of the cloud of dust caused by his Jutsu explosion, to rescue the downed Chunin, while the original chased after the Naraka Path, which was now retreating.

Just as Itachi activated his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and was about to use Amaterasu to quickly deal with his objective, from underground a huge orange centipede with a stake sticking through his head came out and attacked Itachi, who jumps back, but from behind him was summoned a giant multi-head dog with all brown-colored fur and it has a giant black receiver stuck through its heads It also has black coloring around its mouth along with razor-sharp teeth and fangs, and soon bit Itachi, but soon after the bitten Itachi exploded, blowing off one of the summoned dog head and forcing its retreat.

In fact, Itachi used the moment that the centipede attacked to use his Bunshin Daibakuha (Clone Great Explosion), and soon after he released a green flare in the Sky, and just as he was about to use the Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu on the centipede, he is attacked from both sides by Naraka and Animal Path, who joined forces to deal with Itachi, and attacked him with their black stakes.

But just as they were about to pierce him, both jumped back at the same time, and soon after the Itachi that they were attacking exploded once again.

Then the Animal Path, a tall man with orange hair tied back in a long ponytail with a fringe hanging down from the right side of his head, a large bridge piercing through its upper nose which was attached on each cheek with a circular stud, one stud on its upper nose, six studs around the bottom of its face, and one stud on each ear, turns to the hidden Itachi and says "Stop with the petty tricks Itachi, nothing escapes my sight..."

Itachi then briefly looks at the sky and notices a giant green bird with a prominent and jagged yellow-colored beak, but it also features three distinct legs as well as wings, it also has one giant chakra receiver sticking through the right side of its back and another one sticking through the left side of its neck.

Then he notices that both the Animal and Naraka Path retreated together with the summons as the giant bird released dozen of eggs, but before Itachi could intercept them, from the ground near him a huge tree grew out and soon its branch covered the whole zone that was under the attack of the bird, and the next second the eggs hits the tree and dozen of huge explosion happened one after another.

At the same time, Itachi used Amaterasu on the giant bird, and soon it was burned to ash by the black flames, then Itachi turn to his teammate who just came and said "You are late Agent P".

But Peri didn't have the time to reply as the giant centipede once again came out from underground and attacked Peri, but he easily evaded the initial attack and countered with a strong punch that crashed the centipede into the ground creating a big crater.

This is the result of Peri learning to use Senjutsu, unlike humans, no marking appeared on his face or body, this is because like the frogs of Mount Myōboku he can use Senjutsu without his appearance changing.

Meanwhile, Itachi once again was attacked by the Naraka Path, and after he was able to touch and take a hold on Itachi's shoulder, he once again summoned the King of Hell and asked "Tell me where is the Kyubi's Jinch....Oh there isn't a need anymore...so why did you betray us?" and next to the King of Hell unzip its mouth to release tendril-like arms and draw out an apparition of the Itachi's life force energy in the form of an enlarged tongue.

But before he could complete his action, Itachi smiled and soon orange bones made of Chakra covered his body, then came the muscles and the Armor, and as the Naraka Path retreated, Itachi's Susanoo drew the Sword of Totsuka from his sake jar and with a swift thrust pierced him, who was soon drawn into and sealed in the sake jar.

Then Itachi saw that the King of Hell unsummoned itself and said "All according to the plan... with this he can't reconstruct the fallen corpse".

Meanwhile, the Animal Path summoned all his other beasts, a Giant Panda with the ability to harden his body, a Giant Ox and a Giant Rhino for physical strength, and once again the giant bird and centipede and with them, all attacked Peri, who in turn put his hands on the ground and uses the Senpō: Mokuton: Mokuryū Enbu (Sage Art: Wood Release: Wood Dragon Dance Performance) creating many giant serpentine wood dragons, who restrained and bit all the summoned creatures, even the hidden big chameleon who Peri sensed thanks to the sensing ability that Senjutsu gave him.

Then Taking advantage of the restrained beasts he uses Zessenzan (Fighting Tongue Slash) by kneading senjutsu chakra, Peri's long tongue gains utmost solidity and sharpness, it then leaps from his mouth with tremendous speed and force, enough to tear a hole through the ground with ease.

With that ground-splitting power, Animal Path is cut in half, the way that both the enemy and the ground itself are cut apart is reminiscent of the strike of a great sword.

As soon as the Animal Path was destroyed, all his summons unsummoned themselves, and the next moment, Itachi came near Peri and said "It seems that our job here is done... what is that?" then they notice a strange figure rising in the sky, that seemed about to do something, and their instinct was screaming to run.

But the next instant he disappeared and from the distance and loud sound of upturned earth could be heard and all around them started shaking causing the glass windows to shatter.

Once the situation returned normal Itachi looks at Peri and ask "What was that?" and Peri just shrugged his shoulders as if to say "I do not know" then Itachi said, "Let's go and check on the others" and so the pair went to check the others battlefields.
