Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

These seven people, though varying in height and build, shared a common characteristic: six of them, like many non-mainstream individuals, had small black sticks stuck in various parts of their bodies. Moreover, the most striking feature of these six was undoubtedly their eyes.

Because these people's eyes are very similar to the legendary Rinnegan. However, what is puzzling is that even the legendary Sage of Six Paths only had one pair of Rinnegan, and even his eldest son, Indra, did not possess the Rinnegan.

These six people all possess the Rinnegan. When did the Rinnegan become so worthless?

The other person, distinct from the other six, also looked at the two surrounded by others with a serious expression.

Although this person was also wearing a fiery cloud robe, he did not have any small black sticks on his body, and his eyes were normal.

Adorned in her sky-blue hair is a flower folded from white paper. Although her expression is quite solemn, she is still a great beauty who can rival Kurenai Yuhi. However, this beauty seems rather unapproachable.

These seven people are Pain and Konan from the Akatsuki organization.

At this moment, they were all intently watching Uchiha Shisui and the other person who were surrounded.

Don't be fooled by Shisui and his companion's current disheveled state; only Pain and Konan truly know how formidable they are.

If they hadn't cheated by using the Hell Path to constantly revive the remaining Six Paths of Pain that they had killed, they wouldn't have been reduced to this state.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Six Paths of Pain are all intact now. Konan, who was watching from the sidelines, knew very well that, apart from the Hell Path, which did not participate in the battle, and the strongest Deva Path, the other four Paths had been killed by each of them twice on average.

Although Pain was not killed, he barely managed to save face because Pain was Nagato's former comrade and the strongest of the Six Paths.

Chapter 228 Xiao Nan's Hidden Worries

Chapter 228 Xiao Nan's Hidden Worries

At this point, the Six Paths of Pain were at full power, with all six clones on high alert. Except for the Hell Path, the other five stood at the forefront.

The Asura Path had all its switches activated, with various cannons ready for action. The three-headed hellhound behind the Animal Path, the Yatagarasu flying in the sky, and the cloaked chameleon that only revealed a sliver of its form due to the rain all demonstrated the level of caution they were displaying.

Next to Pain was Konan, the most beautiful member of the Akatsuki. At this moment, Konan was also looking at Uchiha Shisui and the other person who were surrounded with a grim expression.

Originally, the Akatsuki organization was hiding well in Amegakure. Although they secretly killed the village's original leader, the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander, they did not publicize it. When contacting people from other villages, they used the name Hanzo of the Salamander.

It can be said that, apart from the Akatsuki members, almost no one knew that Amegakure had changed its leader without anyone noticing, and the Akatsuki organization was able to hide peacefully within Amegakure.

However, not long ago, two uninvited guests arrived in Amegakure. Even with Pain's sensory ninjutsu, Rain Tiger Free Technique, constantly covering the entire Amegakure, he still managed to secretly find out the true nature of Amegakure.

Even later, when they reached the Akatsuki's headquarters, the building where Konan and Nagato lived, it was only then that the perceptive Nagato discovered them. Only then did he immediately dispatch the Six Paths of Pain, and at great cost, they managed to surround and trap them there.

If it weren't for the wear and tear from Cerberus and the aerial advantage of Yatagarasu cutting off their escape routes, these two would have already escaped.

Even so, Pain's six Paths clones and these summoned beasts were all brutally killed by the giants conjured by these two. If it weren't for the resurrection ability of the Hell Path, Konan could sense that they would never have been able to keep these two alive.

Now, the two have finally been exhausted. Not only can they no longer summon giants, but the younger one was also nearly drained of his chakra by the Preta Path of the Six Paths during a moment of mental confusion when the giant dissipated.

Now, in the eyes of Pain and Konan, the overall situation is finally settled, so they are not in a hurry. They are waiting there, waiting for these two uninvited guests to reveal a weakness so that they can deliver the final blow. At the same time, they are also guarding against their final desperate fight.

Konan frowned as she looked at the two disheveled figures in the distance, and said worriedly, "Nagato, have you figured out where these two people came from? They are both Kage-level powerhouses, and their abilities are very strange. They can't both be nobody."

Standing next to her, Pain said expressionlessly, "Konan, call me Pain. I've roughly figured out their origins while fighting them."

Xiao Nan paused for a moment, then changed her words, "Pain, what is their background? Not only are their abilities strange, but they are also very powerful. Their origins are definitely not simple."

Hearing Konan's question, Pain said expressionlessly, "When I fought them, I noticed that both of them had Sharingan eyes. Judging from their age, they should be from the Uchiha clan, and even be the clan's key geniuses. Otherwise, they wouldn't have Kage-level strength at such a young age, and there are two of them."

"The Uchiha clan? They're members of the Uchiha Madara clan. Do you think they might be related to Uchiha Madara?"

Xiao Nan, hearing Payne's words, said with some worry...

Although they can now be said to be allies with Uchiha Madara, the person who calls himself Uchiha Madara always wears a mask and acts mysteriously. It's unclear whether he has any connection with these two.

Having grown up in the Land of Rain, a country rife with war, Konan and Nagato were previously tricked by the legendary demigod Hanzo the Salamander, so they are not so easily trusting of others now.

Pain remained expressionless upon hearing Konan's words. After a moment of thought, he said, "It shouldn't have anything to do with that guy. Ever since that guy who called himself Uchiha Madara found us, we've specifically investigated Uchiha Madara's information. When he left Konoha Village, he had already broken ties with the Uchiha clan of Konoha Village."

Even if Madara Uchiha has connections with the Uchiha clan now, I believe it's only hatred. After all, he was the head of the Uchiha clan back then, and his clansmen betrayed him, failing to leave Konoha with him.

Konan nodded in agreement upon hearing Pain's words, then looked at Uchiha Shisui and the other person in the distance and exclaimed, "As expected of someone from the famous Uchiha clan, they have already achieved Kage-level strength at such a young age. Moreover, their combat talent is terrifyingly strong. Although they possess the Sharingan, they were able to break through your Six Paths clones, which is quite remarkable."

Pain showed no emotion upon hearing Konan's words, coldly replying, "Even the most talented ninja ceases to be a genius once they die. That's the cruelty of this world."

Moreover, as a resident of Konoha, I bear the sins of this false world. Our Land of Rain is plagued by constant war, and Konoha also bears an undeniable responsibility. Furthermore, my parents were killed by scum ninjas from Konoha. If it weren't for Jiraiya-sensei's sake, I would have declared war on Konoha long ago.

Upon hearing Pain's words, Konan looked at Pain with some worry, or rather, she was worried about Nagato, who was controlling Pain.

After Yahiko was killed by Hanzo the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure, and at that time, most of the Akatsuki members were also killed, Nagato was provoked and, disregarding the damage to his body, summoned the Gedo Mazo and killed the enemies present. After that, his personality changed drastically.

Previously, although Nagato possessed the Rinnegan and was the most talented ninja among the three, his weak personality led him to always regard Yahiko, who took care of him, as his older brother.

After Yahiko's death, Nagato's personality changed drastically under the influence of a guy who called himself Madara Uchiha. Even the members accepted by Akatsuki changed from like-minded people to a bunch of rogue ninjas.

As for herself, since Yahiko's death, Nagato is her only family and companion in this world. Even if he were to declare war on this world, she would stand by his side.

Chapter 229 Battle Against the Six Paths of Pain

Chapter 229 Battle Against the Six Paths of Pain

When Konan came to her senses, Payne, who was next to her, also made a new move.

At this moment, the heavy rain that had been falling since the start of the battle gradually subsided, and Pain's expression became even more serious.

"Now, it's time to take care of them all," Payne muttered to himself.

As soon as Pain finished speaking, the four figures surrounding Uchiha Shisui and his companion seemed to have made a pact, and they all rushed towards them together.

Behind Animal Path, his summoned beasts roared in unison, bypassed Animal Path's figure, and rushed towards the two in the center.

When Uchiha Shisui saw the crowd surrounding him, he shook his head helplessly.

As a genius of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Shisui was most outstanding in Body Flicker Technique and Genjutsu. Moreover, he created the Instant Clone Technique, which suited him well, based on his area of ​​expertise, thus earning the renowned title of "Shisui of Body Flicker Technique".

However, when facing the Akatsuki leader who possessed the legendary Rinnegan, his genjutsu was greatly diminished, as if all his movements had been seen through by this person, which kept him in a passive state.

In fact, Uchiha Shisui's feeling was correct. As a higher level than the Sharingan, the Rinnegan is naturally immune to most genjutsu cast by the Sharingan. Moreover, the six clones of Pain's Six Paths share the same vision.

In other words, not only were most of the genjutsu used by Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi ineffective against the Six Paths of Pain, but also, because there were six pairs of eyes watching them from different directions at the same time, they were not only at a disadvantage in the battle, but even retreating was extremely difficult.

This is why, even though both he and Itachi used Susanoo, they only managed to escape from Amegakure, yet they were still surrounded by them.

Uchiha Shisui sighed helplessly, gripping his katana tightly. He suppressed the burning sensation in his eyes, about to push his body to its limits and channel his chakra into his Sharingan.

Suddenly, a thick white mist appeared before his eyes with a bang. Although Uchiha Shisui had not yet seen the person, he felt a familiar chakra, which made him smile and relax. He sat down on the ground with a thud.

Uchiha Itachi, who had been relying on him, also unconsciously sat down on the ground as Shisui sat down.

Although Itachi Uchiha wasn't very familiar with Uchiha Kakuyama's chakra, he knew that the person who could make Shisui relax and arrive at this time must be their Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Kakuyama.

However, Itachi Uchiha was currently facing away from Shisui, and given his current state, it would be quite difficult for him to turn around. So, after sitting down somewhat weakly, Itachi couldn't help but ask, "Shisui-nii, has the clan leader arrived yet?"

Looking at the white mist before him, Uchiha Shisui said with a relaxed smile, "Yes, it's our clan leader who has arrived."

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Pain and his summoned beasts, who were about to rush over, immediately stopped. After all, they were now certain of victory and there was no need to take any risks.

When the thick fog dissipated, Uchiha Kakuzan, clad in Susanoo armor radiating a purplish-black light, appeared before everyone.

Although he was just standing there casually, the expression on the faces of those watching, including Pain, was no longer blank; instead, they were looking at this suddenly appearing person with great seriousness.

Because he could keenly sense that the man in front of him was emanating an extremely frightening pressure. He had only felt this kind of pressure from Jiraiya before, and even Jiraiya's pressure was much weaker than that of the man in front of him.

Konan, who was behind Payne, couldn't help but take a step forward and asked with a slight change in expression, "Who is this person?"

Seeing that Xiao Nan was acting strangely, Payne immediately reached out and blocked her behind him, instructing her, "This person is not simple, step back."

Upon hearing Pain's words, Konan's eyes widened in shock. In her memory, Nagato had never shown such a cautious expression since acquiring the Six Paths of Pain, which filled her with astonishment as she looked at this uninvited guest.

Although there seemed to be a lot of people on Pain's side, in reality, apart from Konan, Nagato was the one in control. Therefore, under his cautious approach, the scene fell into an eerie calm.

Wearing armor transformed from Susanoo, Uchiha Kakuzan arrived on the battlefield through the spatial markings on Uchiha Shisui's body. He immediately saw the legendary Six Paths of Pain standing around him, subtly surrounding him, which made Uchiha Kakuzan show an expression of interest.

However, he didn't forget the important matter. While keeping an eye on the Six Paths, led by Pain, he asked, "Shisui, how are you? Can you and Itachi hold on?"

Upon hearing Qiushanjun's words, Uchiha Shisui said with some shame, "Clan Chief, I am fine, but it's Itachi who was caught off guard and nearly had his chakra drained by one of the attackers. This has prevented Itachi from using his chakra to activate the spatial seal, and I have to trouble the Clan Chief to come and save him."

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head in shame and said softly, "I'm sorry, clan leader, it was all my carelessness. I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Uchiha Kakuzan understood the reason after hearing Shisui's explanation, and waved to comfort him:

"It's alright. As the head of the Uchiha clan, protecting my clansmen is what I should do."

Then, Uchiha Kakuzan surveyed the surroundings and said...

"It seems you've provoked the leader of Akatsuki. No wonder you're suffering losses. It's alright, watch me take care of them all."

Uchiha Kakuzan had long wanted to experience the power of the Six Paths of Pain. In the original story, Nagato destroyed the vast Hidden Leaf Village with the help of the Six Paths of Pain. If it weren't for Naruto Uzumaki's talk-no-jutsu, countless people in Hidden Leaf Village would have died long ago.

Now that they are outside, no matter how much trouble they cause, it will not affect Konoha Village. In this way, Uchiha Kakuyama can act freely and make a big splash.

Chapter 230 Pain's Six Paths and Wood Clones

Chapter 230 Pain's Six Paths and Wood Clones

Just as Uchiha Kakuzan was about to make a move, Pain, standing in front of him, said in a low voice:

"Who are you?"

Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Pain in front of him with great interest, his eyes becoming even more excited, which at the same time made Pain, who was facing him, feel an even greater danger.

Suppressing his excitement, Uchiha Kakuzan said with a mix of arrogance and exhilaration, "I am Uchiha Kakuzan, the head of the Uchiha clan. Kid, isn't it you who bullied my clansmen like this?"

When Pain heard what Uchiha Kakuyama said, he almost choked. He never expected that the head of the Uchiha clan would be so unreasonable. It was clearly his two clansmen who had infiltrated his Amegakure village and were the ones who had been beaten so badly. He never expected that he would be the one to turn the tables on them.

Just as he was about to speak, Uchiha Kakuzan activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, staring intently at him:

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be a corpse. In that case, your true form should be hiding not far away."

Pain and Konan were immediately startled when they heard what Uchiha Kakuzan said. This was the biggest secret of their Six Paths of Pain, and they never expected that the person in front of them would see through it at a glance.

Uchiha Kakuzan gave Pain a deep look, memorizing his chakra characteristics, then closed his eyes slightly.

"Whirlpool Secret Technique - Kagura's Mind's Eye - Open"

In that instant, the chakra within a radius of tens of kilometers was sensed by Uchiha Kakuyama's mind. Then, with his powerful mental strength, Uchiha Kakuyama quickly locked onto this special chakra.

Then, Uchiha Kakuzan opened his eyes, looked at Pain and Konan who were staring at him in shock, turned his head slightly towards the direction of Amegakure, and said succinctly, "Your main body is in that direction."

Uchiha Kakuzan's tone was not a question, but a statement of certainty.

Pain could wait no longer, because the Uchiha clan patriarch before him had, in such a short time, discovered his greatest trump card and, moreover, detected his true form by sensing his chakra.

It should be noted that since his leg injury, coupled with his excessive use of the Gedo Mazo, his body has become very weak, and he needs to rely on machines to move even if he wants to.

Therefore, he protected his fragile body very carefully. Apart from Konan, no one could get close to him or find him, because he set up many barriers and seals around his body to block the sensing of his chakra.

To his surprise, even with all the measures he had taken, the person in front of him discovered his true form in such a short time.

It seems that even if it means sacrificing the Six Paths of Pain and weakening his main body in a short time, we must keep this person here, otherwise he will never have peace.

Uchiha Kakuzan also sensed Pain's change, turned to look at Pain, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

"Oh? Your demeanor has changed. Looks like I've hit a nerve."

Then, Uchiha Kakuyama surveyed the surroundings and said leisurely:

"However, there are more of you, which is unfair to me."

Then, Uchiha Kakuzan immediately formed a hand seal.

"Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique".

Then, it was as if Uchiha Kakuzan had split apart, and a large number of wooden clones emerged from his body. At first, these clones were all made of wood, but after leaving Uchiha Kakuzan's body, they quickly became exactly the same as Uchiha Kakuzan.

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't do much more, but based on the number of Pain's Six Paths, he multiplied it by five, so that his wood clones could ensure that each of Pain's Six Paths' clones had five of his wood clones taking care of him.

Therefore, Uchiha Kakuzan only created thirty-one wood clones, and one of them had already come to Uchiha Shisui and the other, extending its hand and releasing a ninjutsu.

"Wooden Escape--Wooden Spindle Wall"

He summoned rows of wooden pillars that curved from the ground to form an archway, protecting the two of them.

Immediately afterwards, the wood clone entered through a gap and released a medical ninjutsu on Uchiha Shisui and the other person, healing their injuries.

While this wood clone was using Wood Release, the remaining wood clones also released lightning armor composed of blue lightning chakra, quickly rushing towards the Six Paths of Pain who had already begun their attack.

While Pain and his wood clones were locked in combat, Uchiha Kakuyama's main body silently appeared before the figure with sky-blue hair.

However, Uchiha Kakuzan did not make a move. Instead, he looked at Konan in front of him with interest and said leisurely, "Among those here, you are the only one who truly possesses life. So, will you resist me or surrender?"

When Konan arrived in front of Uchiha Kagama, she was completely stunned. From the terrifying aura emanating from the man in front of her, she knew that the person in question had come directly to find her.

In Xiao Nan's opinion, someone as powerful as Uchiha Kagami would at least take down those gigantic summoning beasts even if he didn't fight against Pain. I'm just a weak woman, why would I trouble someone as powerful as you to personally capture me?

Konan never imagined that Uchiha Kakuyama knew far more about them than they had ever imagined.

In Uchiha Kakuzan's view, the Six Paths of Pain were all corpses that Nagato could discard at any time. Moreover, the Rinnegan in their eyes was fake, and they only possessed some of the power of the Rinnegan at most.
