Even Pain had a serious look on his face! While these cannon fodder were not their main force, they were crucial for restraining the Ninja Alliance. This was extremely important! But now, at their very first encounter, the opposing side had, with just one person, eliminated nearly one-fiftieth of the White Zetsu army! If she did that a few more times, wouldn't their entire White Zetsu army be wiped out?
"Kill her!" Pain extended his arm, pointing towards Ryougi Shiki, and immediately ordered loudly.
The Akatsuki members didn't act immediately. Instead, they let the powerful individuals brought back by Impure World Reincarnation engage Ryougi Shiki. After all, they had never seen Ryougi Shiki before, and the methods she displayed were incredibly unique! Letting the Impure World Reincarnation powerhouses deal with her was a cautious approach, an opportunity to observe Ryougi Shiki's full combat capabilities.
A powerful individual from the Impure World Reincarnation charged directly at Ryougi Shiki. This person had been an Elite Jōnin before their death. Now, thanks to the immortality granted by Impure World Reincarnation, they had become a formidable enemy. And at this moment, not just this one ninja, but seven or eight other ninjas of similar strength, also appeared before Ryougi Shiki.
The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception on Ryougi Shiki's eyes bloomed with an azure blue light, focusing on the few individuals before her. Fine cracks, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, appeared on these figures' bodies. These weren't cracks on the Impure World Reincarnation body itself, but the "cracks of death" that only Ryougi Shiki's eyes could perceive. These spots were like the keyholes of a lock; insert the key, turn it lightly, and the lock would open! When the lock was opened, it meant death was opened!
The samurai sword in Ryougi Shiki's hand suddenly moved, unleashing flashes of sword light and shadows! These shimmering images of swords filled the sky, instantly enveloping the Impure World Reincarnation powerhouses!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
These swords of light seemed to weave through them, striking along the precise "lines" on the bodies of the Impure World Reincarnation powerhouses!
"What do you think?" Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly asked Uchiha Itachi beside him.
Uchiha Itachi's gaze was as calm as a lake. He shook his head. "I don't know. However, Impure World Reincarnation grants incredible resilience. No matter how powerful that woman's sword skills are, at most, those strong individuals can only be temporarily shattered."
"Hahaha! Send a few more to fight her! One wave gets shattered, then the others relay! Until she's exhausted!" Hidan cackled loudly.
In everyone's eyes, these strong individuals from Impure World Reincarnation were instantly shattered into pieces and then fell to the ground.
"Don't be afraid, keep going!" Pain commanded calmly, ordering other Impure World Reincarnation powerhouses to continue attacking Ryougi Shiki. He looked to the side, at the Fourth Mizukage and the Third Kazekage, and said, "This woman's strength is quite troublesome. You two go over and assist!"
This commanding tone was highly unpleasant to hear, but as individuals revived by Impure World Reincarnation, what choice did the Fourth Mizukage and Third Kazekage have? Due to the restrictive power of the jutsu, even if they were utterly unwilling, they could only obey orders!
When they reached Ryougi Shiki, they were about to make their move. But they suddenly noticed that the shattered Impure World Reincarnation individuals lying on the ground weren't regenerating.
"Huh?" The Fourth Mizukage suddenly frowned, and he subconsciously muttered, "Why don't these people seem to be regenerating?"
Hearing the Fourth Mizukage's words, the Third Kazekage also subconsciously looked at the shattered fragments of the Impure World Reincarnation bodies. Seeing this, his eyes suddenly widened!
"No! These people..." As he spoke, the Third Kazekage and Fourth Mizukage immediately exchanged glances, seeing the same shock in each other's eyes! They had definitely not made a mistake in their judgment. The individuals who had just been "beheaded" by Ryougi Shiki were truly dead!
At the same time, the Akatsuki members also discovered the problem!
"What's going on? Why haven't those people regenerated?"
"But it's been so long, they should have recovered by now."
"How do I feel like those people are really dead?"
"How is this possible? Those brought back by Impure World Reincarnation cannot die!"
"Then how do you explain this?!" The eyes of the Akatsuki members fell upon the strong individuals "killed" by Ryougi Shiki, and they felt increasingly incredulous!
At this moment, the Third Kazekage and Fourth Mizukage began to attack Ryougi Shiki. The two were very cautious in their assault, trying their best to avoid letting the opponent's blade touch them. Due to the information imbalance, they could only guess at the true nature of what was happening to these Impure World Reincarnation powerhouses. In their view, the most likely explanation was that there was something wrong with Ryougi Shiki's sword! For example, there was a curse on the blade; once killed by this sword, even an Impure World Reincarnation entity would now die!
"What a bunch of trash! Get out of my way!" Pain frowned, somewhat unable to tolerate it any longer. He stepped forward with his Six Paths of Pain to attack together! Since the woman before him could kill Impure World Reincarnation entities, she posed a great threat; she had to be taken out first! And her recent elimination of 2,000 White Zetsu was absolutely intolerable to Pain. If this woman repeated that move a few more times, wouldn't the White Zetsu army be completely consumed by her alone?!
Hearing Pain's order, several of the Pain puppets rushed towards Ryougi Shiki simultaneously! The Pain puppets were incredibly powerful! As soon as they made their move, it was an onslaught of wild bombardment! In the original Naruto manga plot, when the Six Paths of Pain appeared, their combat power reached the absolute ceiling of that era! It directly reached a level of overwhelming everyone! And at this moment, the situation was no different; when the Six Paths of Pain attacked, it was another scene of heaven and earth tearing apart! The ground was directly pulverized, and the terrifying shockwaves from their attacks swept across, knocking down all the ninjas who were closer to the ground! Many people were even injured by the sheer force of the impact! Fortunately, they weren't at the very center of the battlefield, otherwise, there would surely have been many casualties!
Ryougi Shiki's location was instantly overwhelmed by these flashy, powerful techniques!
"Oh no! That person, she...?"
"Damn it! What kind of monsters are these? Their attacks are too terrifying! And too fast! There's no time to rescue her!" Looking at Ryougi Shiki, who was suddenly engulfed by various powerful techniques, the Ninja Alliance was deeply worried!
