Chapter 1024: Minato and Jiraiya's Battle Against Pain's Six Paths!
Chapter 1024: Minato and Jiraiya's Battle Against Pain's Six Paths!
As the incoming missiles approached, Yong Dai Mei Minato instantly used the Instantaneous Body Technique to leave his original position. Jiraiya's white hair grew at an incredible speed, quickly enveloping himself and transforming into a spiky ball, resembling a porcupine.
"Summoning Technique!"
After Shura's attack, the loli of Pain's Six Paths... or rather, the Animal Path, also clapped her hands on the ground, summoning a massive rhinoceros and a three-headed ferocious dog.
Witnessing this scene, Minato and Jiraiya simultaneously bit their fingers and summoned Gamabunta and Gamakichi from Mount Myoboku. Jiraiya, on the other hand, summoned the two great sages of Mount Myoboku.
"Minato, I never thought you'd still be alive!"
As one of Mount Myoboku's elite fighting forces, Gamakichi was equally surprised to see Minato.
Although Gamabunta and Minato seemed to have a close relationship, Gamakichi was also one of the summoning beasts that Minato frequently summoned in the past.
"Gamakichi, let's catch up later. Assist Minato in dealing with them and their summoned beasts. Help little Jiraiya buy some time; he needs to activate his Sage Mode."
Minato was not proficient in using Sage Mode, while Jiraiya's Sage Mode was incomplete.
Not only did it require a certain amount of time to activate, but it also relied on the assistance of the great sages, Fukasaku and Shima, from Mount Myoboku.
Fukasaku and Shima, as the two great sages of Mount Myoboku, held extremely high status, second only to the Great Toad Sage.
Even Jiraiya and Tsunade addressed them as "Great Ones" when they met.
When they saw Jiraiya and Minato's opponents, Fukasaku and Shima understood why Jiraiya had solemnly summoned them and chosen to activate Sage Mode.
Since the Six Paths Sage, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the user of the Rinnegan had not appeared in the Ninja World for countless years.
Who the opponent was did not matter; the fact that they possessed eyes similar to those of the founder of the Ninja World was enough to indicate their extraordinary nature.
Among Pain's Six Paths, the Deva Path was the core, while the Hell Path and the Human Path were support types. The Hunger Path was for defense, and the Animal Path and the Asura Path were responsible for offense.
Although he had learned about some of the Rinnegan's abilities from Yecheng, he did not have a clear understanding of each of Pain's Six Paths' capabilities.
However, just from observing Pain's Six Paths' positioning, Minato sensed that the Hell Path, who was protected at the very back, was an extremely important existence among the six.
Therefore, the moment his wooden shuriken was deflected, Minato immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique's second level to appear in front of the Hell Path.
Logically, the Hell Path's position was at the rear of Pain's Six Paths. Minato, who appeared in front of the Hell Path using the Flying Thunder God Technique, should have been behind the other five paths and out of their line of sight.
However, Minato was unaware that Pain's Six Paths shared a common field of vision. Since the Hell Path had seen him, it meant that the other five paths, even if they had their backs turned to him, could also perceive his presence at that moment.
The Asura Path was the first to react, extending a mechanical arm from its body like a serpent, instantly coiling around Minato's body.
Facing the Hell Path, who was within arm's reach, Minato threw another shuriken from his hand and, with the activation of the Flying Thunder God Technique, his body broke free from the Asura Path's restraints and appeared above the Hell Path.
A blue chakra pill rapidly formed in his hand, but just as Minato was about to finish off the Hell Path with this Rasengan, the corpulent Hunger Path suddenly appeared in front of the Hell Path and extended his palm towards Minato's descending Rasengan.
With an intense suction force approaching, Minato's Rasengan was instantly absorbed, and at that moment, Jikando, who had been watching from the sidelines, reached out his hand towards Minato as well.
Jikando did not use any flashy attacks; he merely extended his hand towards Minato, but Minato inexplicably felt a strong sense of crisis.
So, in the next moment, his body once again turned into a golden flash of light and disappeared from his original position. When his figure reappeared, he had already arrived on top of Gamabunta's head.
Standing on Gamabunta's head, Minato, along with Tendou, who had not made a move until now, exchanged a glance, and both felt that the other was incredibly formidable.
Minato considered Tendou a formidable opponent because he found the other's formation impenetrable. Even if he used the Flying Thunder God Technique, he couldn't find any gaps or weaknesses in the opponent's defense.
Furthermore, the other Pain members were manageable, but Tendou, who had not made a move until now, was the one that made Minato feel the most cautious and dangerous.
It wasn't just Minato who found the Six Paths of Pain formidable; in the brief exchange, Nagato also found the slippery and elusive Nagato to be exceptionally challenging.
To be fair, Namikaze Minato's techniques were not particularly powerful, but for a space-time ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God Technique, there was indeed no effective countermeasure.
At least for now, Nagato could only think of two ways to counter the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The most recent small talk in the six-nine book bar was about the six paths.
Either use genjutsu or utilize a large-scale map cannon attack.
Genjutsu was out of the question; the Six Paths of Pain were not proficient in it, and it was even one of their weaknesses.
It was easy to understand the use of large-scale attacks; the Flying Thunder God Technique required a marking jutsu and had a certain distance limitation.
The Flying Thunder God was only a temporary spatial displacement, not an invincible technique like Kamui that hid in another dimension. As long as the attack range was large enough to encompass the area filled with the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato would be unable to dodge the attack no matter where he teleported.
For large-scale attacks, Nagato had the Super Shinra Tensei and Chibaku Tensei, but using these two techniques here would also destroy the entire Amegakure.
After hesitating for a moment, Nagato ultimately decided not to use his ultimate techniques directly, as doing so would not only destroy Amegakure, their base, but also have severe side effects on him.
After glancing at Namikaze Minato, Tendou finally turned his gaze towards Jiraiya.
Jiraiya had not intervened in the previous battle and had been maintaining his hand seals. Even a fool would know that he was preparing some powerful techniques.
Compared to the slippery and elusive Nagato, Nagato believed that taking out Jiraiya first would be the best breakthrough method.
As Tendou reached out towards Jiraiya, Minato realized something was wrong and immediately threw the kunai in his hand, performing the Shadow Shuriken Multiple Shadow Clone Technique! However, facing the overwhelming rain of kunai, Gedou once again stepped forward and extended both hands, forming a chakra shield to absorb the kunai shower like a torrential downpour!
"Even Shadow Clone techniques can be absorbed!"
