Chapter 375: The Six Paths Appear!
Chapter 375: The Six Paths Appear!
"Summoning Technique!"
Nagato's emaciated body forcefully slapped the ground, summoning a male ninja with right-side parted long hair.
The black rod and Sharingan in his eyes revealed him to be one of the Six Paths of Pain.
Step, step!
After appearing, this Pain immediately left the camouflage point and rushed towards the battlefield.
Indeed, this Pain was the 'Animal Path' among the Six Paths, and the female Animal Path was a later modification; originally, it was a male.
The Animal Path Pain possessed an extremely troublesome ability.
Summoning!
Not only could he summon powerful summoned beasts with varied abilities, but he could also summon the other five Pains to his side.
It must be said that even an Over-Kage-level powerhouse would fall to the Six Paths if they were unaware of their diverse and formidable abilities.
However, Hyuga Tsukiyo was extremely clear about the intelligence on the Six Paths of Pain.
Even without Dong Ping's explanation, Konan's inside information as an 'inside agent' was enough to make her fully aware of how dangerous and terrifying the Six Paths of Pain were.
The challenge was to not reveal her 'premonition' of their abilities but to act as if she had observed them herself.
Otherwise, she might arouse Nagato's vigilance and expose the existence of the inside agent.
On the battlefield—
Boom!
Hyuga Tsukiyo seized the moment when the Heavenly Path Pain used Divine Roar Sky Decree and struck him with her tail, sending him flying.
Facing the incredible strength of the fox tail, capable of pulling ships weighing hundreds or even thousands of tons, a mere flesh and blood body was no match. It was only due to the chakra reinforcement that the resistance to blunt attacks was maximized.
Otherwise, a single tail strike could turn even an elephant into meat paste; how could it merely send someone flying?
"What a pity!"
Hyuga Tsukiyo sighed.
If she could get close, a single slash of condensed chakra would have sliced him to pieces, rather than just knocking him away as it did now.
The issue was that the Heavenly Path Pain was also aware of this, so he chose to endure the tail strike rather than let Hyuga Tsukiyo get close.
The deep wound on his chest, visible to the bone, was from an earlier moment when he was unaware of Hyuga Tsukiyo's intelligence, allowing her to get close and strike him.
If not for the timely use of Divine Roar Sky Decree to knock her away, the battle would have ended then and there.
Soon, the Heavenly Path Pain got back up.
"Not bad, the Shell Organization is indeed an organization worth taking seriously~!"
A cold voice sounded.
But taking them seriously also meant that Nagato would find a way to eliminate them.
Just then—
Step!
A figure descended from the sky, landing beside the Heavenly Path Pain. It was the Animal Path, who had rushed over from Nagato's main body.
"Two...?"
Even though Hyuga Tsukiyo knew what was going on, she used micro-expressions to convey her confusion and disbelief, as if she didn't understand why the two were so similar.
"Summoning Technique!"
The Animal Path formed hand seals and then slapped the ground heavily.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
White mist rose, and four figures with yellow hair, Rinnegan, and black rods appeared.
The Six Paths of Pain had arrived!
Usually, when on missions, it was the Heavenly Path Pain and Konan who took action.
This was the first time all Six Paths of Pain had acted together, indicating that Nagato's mind was set on annihilation.
There was no choice; Hyuga Tsukiyo's Reincarnation Eye made him feel threatened.
One God was enough!
Additionally, the Shell Organization's mysteriousness and strength made him feel uneasy, leading to this all-out assault.
At this stage, even though Nagato's Rinnegan development was not as advanced as before, his physical condition far surpassed his future state in the Leaf Village, making him potentially even more formidable.
"Impossible!"
"No way!"
"You..."
Hyuga Tsukiyo's acting was Oscar-worthy; anyone could see her surprise and confusion...and other emotions.
"Attack!"
The Heavenly Path Pain gave the order.
The other Pains spread out and advanced.
"Divine Vacuum Strike!"
Hyuga Tsukiyo suddenly struck towards the Asura Path behind her.
The Rinnegan's field of vision is truly blindspot-free, and an attack from behind would likely succeed against anyone else. However, it was impossible for it to work against her.
Of course, even with advanced notice, she pretended to only notice the attack as the opponent drew near, preventing them from realizing the Rinnegan's capabilities.
Boom!
Asura Path's body was indeed as sturdy as steel, capable of withstanding even the most powerful blows.
The problem was that the Divine Vacuum Strike could pierce through steel, and the body was no harder than tofu.
The biggest issue was that they had no idea that Hyuga Cangyue would suddenly sense the attack from behind, let alone the existence of such a formidable taijutsu as the Divine Vacuum Strike.
A single strike was all it took!
The effect was astonishing.
The Akatsuki had no prior knowledge of Hyuga Cangyue's abilities.
The major ninja villages might have some information, but they would never share it with others unless they were foolish.
This is why, despite numerous battles among powerful shinobi, intelligence remains highly classified in the ninja world.
No one is willing to disclose their intelligence, so others are naturally unaware of the Shell Organization's secrets.
For instance, the Cloud Hidden Village possesses extensive intelligence on Hyuga Cangyue and Dong Ping.
However, this information is treated as a village secret.
"Ten Thousand Transforming Attraction!"
After shattering the Asura Path with a single strike, Hyuga Cangyue formed a seal with her left hand and aimed this ability at Animal Path.
The opponent's summoning jutsu was too troublesome, so it had to be dealt with immediately.
Swish!
Animal Path's body seemed to be grasped by an invisible giant hand, lifting him off the ground and pulling him towards Hyuga Cangyue.
"Ten Thousand Transforming Attraction!"
But Heavenly Path Pain wouldn't just watch Animal Path be pulled away. He used the same technique to pull him back.
In terms of ability alone, Heavenly Path Pain was slightly stronger.
For the same effect, he only needed one point of chakra, while Hyuga Cangyue required three or more.
Not to mention, in a chakra-draining contest, Hyuga Cangyue couldn't possibly compete with Nagato, the Chakra Tank.
It's no wonder that Nagato, the early mastermind, was unbeatable before the "hangers-on" appeared.
Hyuga Cangyue abandoned the chakra-draining contest with Heavenly Path Pain and swung her Fox Tail, sending a massive Hellhound flying.
After years of training, her nine tails were no weaker than her hands, and this feat was effortless.
Although the Fox Tail didn't provide as exaggerated a boost as the Demon Horns, it offered an incredibly powerful advantage in combat.
Defense, offense, and control!
The Fox Tail could do it all, and with Hyuga Cangyue's precise control, they were a perfect match.
Evenly matched!
At least, that's how it appeared on the surface.
Hyuga Cangyue, with her formidable taijutsu and the Fox Tail, held her ground against Pain's Six Paths.
This made some of the onlookers uneasy.
"Impossible!"
Obito, hidden at the edge of the battlefield, watched the distant battle with disbelief.
No one knew the Rinnegan's power better than him.
Yet, someone was withstanding the Six Paths of Pain's onslaught.
"Nothing is impossible. Nagato hasn't gone all out yet!"
Zetsu, with his black and white upper body exposed like a pitcher plant, could see this clearly.
Nagato was still in the intelligence-gathering phase.
Otherwise, he would have already used the Supreme Divine Rendament or the Earth Devastation Star Technique.
"Is that so?"
Obito nodded slightly, his thoughts behind the mask unreadable.
Not far away, Konan and Dong Ping were communicating almost openly.
They were well aware that the Byakugan Wolf and Zetsu's attention was elsewhere, so they dared not speak openly. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to use codes.
After exchanging information with his counterpart, Dong Ping learned about Akatsuki's recent activities and future plans.
Akatsuki had planned to grow in secrecy, but they had to intervene due to the Shell Organization's emergence.
