Chapter 411: A Stronger Six Paths of Pain

Suddenly, the Six Paths of Pain appeared out of thin air.

There had been no signs or warnings beforehand.

In an instant!

It was as if they had teleported.

Kakashi was completely baffled. What exactly was this space-time ability that allowed for instantaneous movement?

Before, there would at least be some indication before they appeared.

Like spatial distortions or something similar.

But now... what was going on? Why had they suddenly... just appeared like this?

"Leader!"

Kakuzu's expression darkened. The sudden appearance of the Six Paths of Pain meant that he had failed to complete his task properly.

Otherwise, Pain wouldn't have...

The Deva Path of Pain glanced at him.

"As expected, you're still too weak, Kakuzu!"

Hearing this, Kakuzu reluctantly lowered his head, casually seizing a heart and reassembling his body into its complete form.

"Leave the rest to me!"

"I need to capture the Three-Tails Jinchūriki quickly, and then go after the Nine-Tails!"

"You all handle those puppets and... the Allied Shinobi Forces!"

With that, the Six Paths of Pain began moving toward Kimimaro's direction.

At that moment, Jūgo, Suigetsu, and Guren all moved closer to Kimimaro.

"There's no way we'll let you take Kimimaro so easily!"

"Don't think you're the only ones with comrades!"

Jūgo said, standing by Kimimaro's side, his Sage Transformation fully activated, releasing intense waves of senjutsu chakra.

The Second Mizukage observed the sudden appearance of the Six Paths of Pain.

'Was that... the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God just now?'

'Is this the organization that summoned me?'

'This won't be easy to deal with! The kids of the shinobi world today are in big trouble.'

As a fellow Second Kage, the Mizukage was well aware of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

Although not as intimidating as his brother, Hashirama Senju, who had a massive influence over the shinobi world,

Tobirama's talent was in no way inferior to his elder brother's. As the developer of numerous forbidden techniques,

Tobirama's abilities were unquestionable, and his power was absolutely formidable.

If not for the fact that he had expended too much energy covering the retreat of his talented juniors, coupled with his age, the Second Hokage might have continued to pose a threat to the entire shinobi world.

Although the Mizukage wanted to personally test the strength of the Six Paths of Pain,

he was currently under the control of the Impure World Reincarnation and could only reluctantly turn toward the direction of the Allied Shinobi Forces. It seemed his next opponents would be the shinobi of the Allied Forces.

On the other side, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist faced off against Sasuke's Wood Release army.

Even Kakuzu and the others had to turn their attention to the Wood Release army.

After all, with one possessing Lava Release and the other Ice Release, two powerful kekkei genkai users had appeared.

They posed a significant threat to the White Zetsu army.

The twenty thousand White Zetsu couldn't simply be abandoned.

The sudden appearance of the Six Paths of Pain had drastically changed the situation.

Kimimaro looked at the Six Paths of Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki.

To Kimimaro, this figure was not unfamiliar.

He had long wanted to test his strength against this guy.

If he could inflict serious damage, it would also lighten the burden on Lord Sasuke.

With a wave of his hand, two bone blades instantly merged into a longer bone sword.

At the same time, Kimimaro pulled out his entire spine from his back.

Looking at the massive, serrated bone blade formed by the connected vertebrae, Kimimaro grew serious.

After all, his opponent was the Six Paths of Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki.

Sensing Kimimaro's chakra,

Nagato was indeed somewhat surprised.

"Tailed Beast chakra combined with senjutsu chakra, huh?"

"I didn't expect you to have mastered such power, just like the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki from Konoha!"

"Unfortunately for you, you're facing me as I am now. Otherwise, you might have had a chance to win!"

Before the fight even began, Kimimaro was deemed incapable of winning.

Kimimaro lightly smirked. "You think you're guaranteed to win?"

"He's not alone!"

Suigetsu, Jūgo, and Guren also stepped forward, their presence equally imposing.

However, Nagato simply smiled. "Even if you all come at me together, it doesn't matter. To me now, numbers mean nothing!"

With that, the Asura Path of Pain took the initiative to attack.

Before Kimimaro could even move, Jūgo unleashed a massive surge of senjutsu chakra as propulsion,

charging forward and declaring, "This one's mine!"

Boom!

A single punch.

Jūgo and the Asura Path of Pain collided, the sheer force of the impact causing the ground around them to instantly crack.

In a flash, countless rocks were sent flying into the air, only to be instantly crushed by the shockwave of the collision.

The intense shockwave spread out, and sensing the astonishing power within the blast,

Nagato nodded slightly.

"Not bad strength!"

To be able to withstand the power of the Asura Path as it was now, this guy was quite strong.

Meanwhile, Kakuzu and the others turned to look at the commotion.

Their eyes were filled with shock.

'Such terrifying power...'

'That guy can actually fight against the leader's Pain?'

While Jūgo's strength was impressive, Suigetsu and Guren were far weaker.

The Human Path of Pain moved, easily suppressing the two of them.

Nagato shook his head. "It seems only one of them is worth any real attention."

With that, the Deva Path of Pain turned to face Kimimaro.

"Now, let me see the power of the Three-Tails Jinchūriki!"

"Gladly!"

Crack!

Kimimaro took a sudden step forward, shattering the ground beneath him, and a series of shockwaves rippled out from his feet.

Kimimaro lunged forward, his two bone blades slashing straight toward the Deva Path of Pain.

However, before he could strike, two massive bulls summoned by the Animal Path of Pain charged at him.

Kimimaro frowned, slicing one of the summoning beasts away with a single strike.

Landing and accelerating again, the red chakra erupting from his body formed a giant hand, reaching out to grab the Deva Path.

'Hmm! Impressive strength.'

'His chakra reserves are also terrifying.'

'A perfect Jinchūriki, combined with Sage Mode and the Shikotsumyaku kekkei genkai. His power is truly remarkable!'

But!

That's all there is to it.

The Deva Path of Pain raised his hand. "Your strength is impressive, but to me, it's still not enough!"

"Hand over the tailed beast inside you!"

Shinra Tensei!

Kimimaro, still in mid-air, was instantly repelled by an overwhelming force, and the chakra hand he had released dissipated instantly.

As Kimimaro was sent flying, the Preta Path of Pain had already moved.

Descending from above, it stomped down hard on Kimimaro as he landed.

One stomp!

Crack!!

The sheer force of the impact caused the ground around them to instantly shatter!

The terrifying power sent chills down the spines of the shinobi witnessing this scene.

Under such an impact, a normal person would have been reduced to a pulp.

Even a Jinchūriki might not be able to withstand this...
