However, for Kimimaro, although the Hungry Ghost Realm's heavy strike was incredibly powerful,
as a possessor of the Shikotsumyaku, how could he be so easily defeated?
Though he had been smashed into the ground, Kimimaro instantly erupted with chakra, and a large number of spikes grew from his back.
In an instant, the Hungry Ghost Realm, being relatively fast,
managed to dodge Kimimaro's attack. As Kimimaro stood up, he gazed at the distant Deva Path Pain.
"Your strength no longer poses any threat to me!"
Just as the Deva Path Pain spoke, Jugo's voice rang out.
"Kimimaro... be careful..."
Suddenly, a laser shot rapidly from the right.
Almost the moment Kimimaro heard the warning, the laser pierced through his shoulder,
instantly numbing half of his arm.
The sheer power of the purple laser left Kimimaro momentarily dazed.
What is this?
What kind of weapon?
The Asura Path is not a modified human but a being capable of summoning various war weapons.
A laser cannon is no problem for the Asura Path.
Kimimaro wanted to block the Asura Path's attack, but the moment he swung his fist,
the Asura Path turned its gaze and locked onto him, kicking Kimimaro off balance, followed by a black rod piercing through his entire arm.
Intense pain surged through Kimimaro, and his chakra was disrupted, instantly becoming chaotic.
Bam!
In the next moment, Kimimaro was kicked away by the Asura Path.
The Asura Path turned and detached its entire arm, revealing strange missiles that were launched directly at Kimimaro!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One after another, the missiles rapidly struck Kimimaro.
However, just before the missiles hit, a bone wall rose.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosive flames did not manage to engulf Kimimaro.
'Blocked!'
Bam!
The next second, the bone wall was violently shattered, and the Asura Path broke through Kimimaro's defense, striking his abdomen with a lightning-fast punch.
Even with the Tailed Beast chakra protecting him and the Sage Mode chakra enhancement,
this blow caused Kimimaro to vomit stomach acid.
Even the bone layer of the Shikotsumyaku couldn't defend against this strike. As Kimimaro's body was sent flying,
he looked at the Asura Path Pain in shock.
'How is this possible? This guy easily broke through my defense.'
'What kind of monstrous strength does this guy have?'
"Do you understand now? Your strength and mine are no longer on the same level!"
"To me, you are now nothing more than an ant!"
Almighty Push.
Before Kimimaro could land, he was pulled towards the Deva Path Pain.
In an instant, two opposing forces acted on Kimimaro's body.
Crack!
Under this pressure, Kimimaro's bones shattered into pieces.
Kimimaro was utterly shocked. His bones were now as strong as steel,
yet this guy had so easily crushed them.
As he was pulled towards the Deva Path Pain, the Hungry Ghost Path Pain prepared its attack.
The moment Kimimaro was pulled close, a punch!
Straight to the forehead.
Bam!
Kimimaro was slammed heavily into the ground.
Dust and smoke instantly spread.
A deafening roar echoed, and the ninja alliance stared in stunned silence, as if they had seen a ghost.
These ordinary ninjas, stepping onto the battlefield for the first time, had never witnessed such a terrifying battle.
Every strike carried earth-shattering power.
And this was just pure taijutsu. If other powers were unleashed, how much more terrifying would it be?
The ninjas silently swallowed their fear.
Kimimaro lay on the ground, relying on the Three-Tails' chakra and the Shikotsumyaku's super healing ability to recover rapidly.
But just as he regained consciousness,
the Hungry Ghost Path Pain inserted a black rod into Kimimaro's body.
The healing speed of his injuries suddenly came to an abrupt halt,
almost instantly stopping.
Struggling to get up, Kimimaro was pierced by another black rod the next second, pinning him firmly to the ground.
"This is the difference in power. Even as a Tailed Beast Jinchūriki, you are still no match for me!"
Now, the Deva Path Pain slowly walked towards Kimimaro.
The other Paths of Pain also gathered around.
Suigetsu and Karin lay on the ground, having been dealt with by the Human Path Pain, who sneered disdainfully.
Nagato now felt nothing but contempt for Sasuke's subordinates.
Too weak.
The Six Paths of Pain surrounded Kimimaro.
"Three-Tails capture... complete!"
Buzz!
Instantly, Kakashi, Ao, and Kurotsuchi felt as if a bomb had exploded in their minds.
How could this happen so quickly?
Kimimaro, who had previously displayed combat power no weaker than a Kage-level ninja, if not stronger,
had been so easily defeated by the leader of the Akatsuki.
This was... unbelievable.
What should they do now?
Could they just stand by and watch the Akatsuki take the Three-Tails?
No! Absolutely not! But could they stop them with their current strength?
Kakashi gritted his teeth. It seemed he would have to use the Mangekyou Sharingan left by Obito.
But at that moment, a sudden burst of red chakra caused Kimimaro to rise from the ground.
The black rods were pulled out.
Kimimaro, now surging with Tailed Beast chakra, glared at the Six Paths of Pain.
"I... will not be defeated so easily!"
"As Lord Sasuke's sharpest weapon, how can I end here?"
Buzz!
Waves of chakra rippled out.
The red chakra formed tangible ripples that slowly spread, and in that instant, Kimimaro's eyes burst with a bloody light.
Suddenly, his back exploded, and bone spikes like spider legs emerged, followed by a Tailed Beast Bomb forming on his back.
Using these bones as a shield while assisting in the Tailed Beast Bomb's formation.
This was a method Nagato had never seen before.
Feeling Kimimaro's chakra surge several times over,
Nagato still smiled and shook his head.
"Though the Tailed Beast Bomb is powerful, to me... it's still nothing!"
"Still not giving up, Three-Tails Jinchūriki?"
Give up?
Kimimaro grinned.
"Try catching my Tailed Beast Bomb first!"
All his chakra poured into it, Kimimaro suddenly crouched, and the Tailed Beast Bomb within the bones was fully charged.
The next second!
Boom!
The Tailed Beast Bomb exploded!
Seeing the blinding light of the Tailed Beast Bomb, Kakashi was speechless. At such close range, wasn't Kimimaro afraid of being caught in the blast?
The Tailed Beast Bomb's power was undeniable, capable of easily destroying an entire village.
"Everyone, prepare defenses... brace for the Tailed Beast Bomb's impact..."
As Kakashi shouted,
the Hungry Ghost Path Pain stepped in front of all the Paths.
Nagato: "It ends here! Three-Tails Jinchūriki..."
Sealing Technique: Absorption...
