Chapter 374: Pain: Someone is Imitating My Ability and Stealing My Name!
In a forest, several kilometers away from the battlefield.
"Who are you?"
Dong Ping acted as if he knew nothing, observing the figure before him with short yellow hair, Sharingan eyes, and a black rod piercing through his body.
"Pain!"
The other party's cold voice echoed.
"How ridiculous, do you also aspire to become a god?"
Dong Ping mocked as if he knew nothing at all. (Pain also means 'God' in this context)
As the battle began, he arrived here with Hyuga Tsukiyo in tow.
At the same time, they also noticed the Byakugan Wolf and Zetsu following behind them.
Perfect!
With this, the unexpected factors were drawn away from them.
However, the downside was that his side was now in extreme danger.
Whether it was Pain or the Byakugan Wolf, neither was a minor character. If they were given the chance, it wouldn't be surprising if they were to be defeated.
Even if he were to be defeated, he wasn't too afraid as he had already prepared a backup plan. But if he could avoid it, he would.
Indeed, in the Ninja World, death wasn't the end.
There were countless ways to resurrect.
Take Uchiha Han, for example, who demonstrated what it meant to do 'sit-ups' and emerged from his grave.
With the advantage of foresight, Dong Ping's attempt to open the coffin lid would be far less challenging than Pain's.
It could be said that as long as he was careful not to be sealed, he could do as he pleased.
With this backup plan, even facing such a situation, he had no intention of running away. Instead, he directly challenged Pain's acting skills.
"What is the goal of your Shell Organization?"
Pain's tone was as if a deity was interrogating a mortal.
His aura was overwhelming!
Dong Ping, with his rebellious nature, couldn't bear this and naturally retorted.
"None of your business!"
It was a joke, but Pain could tell from Dong Ping's tone and demeanor that he wasn't taking this seriously, so he extended his right hand.
At this moment, Hyuga Tsukiyo, who was by Dong Ping's side, also stepped forward and extended her right hand.
Yes, she was about to clash with Pain head-on.
Although she wasn't a match for the Rinnegan yet.
But that was assuming the Rinnegan was in the hands of its original owner.
Nagato's Rinnegan wasn't his own, and he could only utilize less than half of its true power, not even possessing the exclusive abilities of the Rinnegan.
Moreover, he was not as developed as he would be ten years later when he went to the Leaf Village for rice.
So, Hyuga Tsukiyo wasn't completely powerless either.
"Divine Roar Sky Decree!"
"Divine Roar Sky Decree!"
Two almost synchronized voices rang out.
Two terrifying repulsive forces surged towards each other.
Dong Ping had already distanced himself in the first place, or else he would have been caught in the crossfire.
When the two repulsive forces collided.
Boom! The earth tore open, and the air shattered.
Amidst the earthquake-like rumble, the area was ravaged, resembling twisted dough.
Whoosh!
Sheets of white paper flew from afar, forming a female ninja with a paper flower on her head, blue short hair, a serene and lovely appearance, but with a cold expression.
Konan!
She made her entrance.
As Pain's partner, how could she not be here?
Whoosh, whoosh!
Paper shuriken flew towards them.
Don't be fooled by their paper construction; with Chakra reinforcement, they were as hard as steel.
Thud, thud, thud!
After Dong Ping dodged, the shuriken deeply embedded themselves in the tree trunk.
If they had hit flesh, they would have easily pierced through.
To be so ruthless upon meeting was not because she had defected but because she had received Dong Ping's warning.
At the moment the other party appeared, he had used a hand gesture to inform them of Zetsu's presence nearby.
Konan naturally understood what Zetsu represented, so she had to follow her 'character' and attack accordingly.
"Who are you?"
Dong Ping, as a member of the Shell Organization, naturally wouldn't know Konan, so it was normal for him to ask while dodging.
In reality, the two communicated through subtle gestures during their fight.
"Akatsuki!"
Konan only replied with a single word and intensified her attack.
Their battle seemed fierce, but the extent of their restraint was clear to those who understood.
And the battlefield continued to expand.
This mutual understanding was also shared between both parties.
That is, the battlefield was as far away from the Ninja Army and the Heavenly Fortress as possible.
Dong Ping and his group were here to divert these unexpected factors, while the Akatsuki naturally didn't want to be exposed so soon, so the best choice was to pull the battlefield as far away as possible.
Under their mutual understanding, the battlefield naturally shifted quickly.
Anyway, for powerhouses of their caliber, their speed was astonishing, and they could easily create a distance of several dozen kilometers during pursuit.
In a place like this, even if they used Ultra Great Explosion, those far away from the battlefield wouldn't be able to see it.
After communicating through secret signals, Dong Ping finally understood Nagato's intention.
It was to observe, and if they found the Shell Organization to be a threat, they would take the opportunity to eliminate them.
As for the Byakugan Wolf and Zetsu, they had come privately and were not with them.
The good news was that this time, it wasn't Pain Six Paths who came, but only Heavenly Path.
With this, it wouldn't be a problem.
Having Hyuga Cangyue face the Six Paths at this stage was still a bit too forced.
Even with Dong Ping's help, her growth was accelerated, but the Reincarnation Eye in her fourth gestation period was still a bit lacking.
Fortunately, she had the 'Fox Tail', a Superorgan that allowed her strength to leap forward, giving her the strength to deal with a Heavenly Path Pain.
Just like now!
As Dong Ping and Konan chatted and held back on one side, the real fight was happening on the other.
"Divine Roar Sky Decree!"
Heavenly Path Pain used this ability again.
Hyuga Cangyue, who had been fighting close by, immediately used the Fox Tail to block in front of herself, ensuring she wouldn't be injured by the repulsive force.
During the previous pursuit, she had also understood something.
That is, the complete Rinnegan was not something her Reincarnation Eye, which was only in the fourth gestation period and had not even completed half of its journey, could compete with.
Even if it wasn't the original owner, the power would be greatly reduced, but it should still be stronger than the unevolved version.
Then, regarding Chakra, although she already had several dozen cards, it was still incomparable to the 'Chakra Tonner'.
So, if she really wanted to 'clash' with Heavenly Path Pain, her Chakra might be exhausted after a few rounds, which was why she chose close combat.
In close combat, the consumption was smaller, and with the 'Condensing Energy into Blade' ability and the help of the Fox Tail, she could completely suppress Heavenly Path Pain. If the opponent hadn't been alternating between two techniques to force her to retreat, the battle would have been resolved earlier.
"How do you know Divine Roar Sky Decree?"
After forcing Hyuga Cangyue back, Pain's tone finally carried a hint of emotion.
After witnessing the opponent using it several times, he could finally confirm that the opponent, like himself, could use Divine Roar Sky Decree, and not only was the ability the same, but the name was also the same, which couldn't help but move him.
(Someone is imitating my ability and even copying my name!)
"This question should be asked by me to you. How do you know Divine Roar Sky Decree?"
A smile appeared on Hyuga Cangyue's face beneath the mask as she retorted.
Although she didn't understand why Dong Ping insisted on calling her ability to manipulate repulsive force by this name, she finally understood now.
It turned out that he had 'borrowed (plagiarized)' the name of the technique in advance.
Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?
From this perspective, she admired Dong Ping's 'prophecy' ability even more.
"...This name was told to me by my eyes!"
Nagato, or Heavenly Path Pain, pondered for a moment before speaking directly.
Indeed, he didn't come up with this name for the ability; he knew it when he mastered the ability.
It was similar to the Mangekyou Sharingan abilities of the Uchiha, where the name was known upon obtaining the power.
"Mine is the same!"
Hyuga Cangyue pointed to her Reincarnation Eye, which was shimmering with a faint blue light.
Although it was only in the fourth gestation period, the Six Paths-level essence had already begun to awaken, intimidating anyone who saw it.
"Then let me see if your eyes have the qualifications to compare with my Rinnegan!"
There was a hint of seriousness in Nagato's voice.
At this moment, the distant main body also began to move.
He was ready to go all out.
Because from the opponent's eyes, he sensed a hint of potential threat.
An eye that could threaten his own must be destroyed in advance, and the opponent must not be given the opportunity to grow.
