This time, Pain deliberately used a large amount of extra chakra, which multiplied the already enormous repulsive force several times over.

Even the enormous bodies of Akimichi Torifu and Yumebaku could not withstand this level of repulsive force. They were like two marbles, flung far away and plowing two huge furrows in the ground.

Akimichi Tokiwa shrunk back down while in mid-air, so the damage wasn't as great.

But the Baku's body was too big to shrink, so it rolled around all the way.

Every house they touched was smashed to pieces, and everyone along the way, whether ninja or civilian, was crushed to pieces, with blood splattered all over the ground.

Finally, with a deafening roar, the Baku's body slammed heavily against the Hokage Rock.

The rocks shattered, and fragments rained down. When the dust settled, only a huge crater remained on the Hokage Rock, with the Baku's entire body embedded in it, and the Third Hokage's face completely disfigured.

The Dream Eater was also cunning. It struggled to get up, shook its head, looked around, and saw that Konoha Village was already engulfed in war and devastation. It decisively canceled the summoning and slipped away.

Payne slowly descended from the sky, hovering in mid-air, looking coldly at the nearly frenzied crowd below, and said:

"The many ninjas of Konoha!"

"Are you feeling pain?"

"My parents were killed by Konoha ninja right before my eyes!"

"Now you should understand the pain of losing a loved one!"

"Do you understand the preciousness of peace?"

Seeing the corpses scattered all over the ground, the Third Hokage trembled with rage, his eyes wide with fury as he roared:

"Don't make up baseless excuses for your revenge!"

"What right do you have to talk about peace when you started this war?"

"Konoha will never yield to any evil!"

"If you dare to wage war against Konoha, be prepared to bear the wrath of Konoha!"

"All Earth Release ninja, prepare to construct earthen and stone steps to send me up for battle!"

"The other ninjas are responsible for intercepting the explosive tags. Don't let that ninja come down and interfere with us!"

"Yes!" A group of ninjas answered in unison, forming hand seals simultaneously and activating a combined Earth Release ninjutsu in perfect unison.

Instantly, massive rocks rose from the ground, stacking themselves into a stepped formation as if they were alive, lifting the Third Hokage upwards into the sky and sending him hurtling towards Pain.

"As expected, humans are foolish creatures who can never understand each other!"

"It's incredibly naive to expect people to understand and forgive each other because of mutual understanding!"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Pain's eyes. He sighed dejectedly and raised his hand again.

"Shinra Tensei!"

A tremendous repulsive force suddenly descended from the sky, like an invisible giant hand slamming down, pressing heavily on the Third Generation and knocking him directly to the ground.

The third generation used his Vajra Staff to support his body, but he still couldn't withstand the immense power, and his legs were deeply embedded in the earthen and stone steps.

But his eyes burned with an indomitable fighting spirit, and he shouted again:

"Now!"

"Pull him down!"

Before he finished speaking, many Nara clan ninjas simultaneously formed hand seals, bringing to life the shadow beneath the massive earthen steps, which surged towards Pain like a waterfall flowing backward.

The massive black shadow split in mid-air into hundreds or even thousands of shadow whips, densely intertwining to form a vast, intricate net around Pain. Then, it suddenly contracted inward, trapping Pain and pulling him downward.

Konan in the sky hurriedly released the White Dragon with explosive tags to save the day, but it was blocked by numerous wind and fire ninjutsu and detonated on the outer edge, exploding into sparks in the air.

However, the massive shockwave and blinding white light generated by the explosion severely weakened the effect of the Shadow Whip.

Pain landed on the ground and with a powerful struggle, tore the Shadow Whip apart. But suddenly, four Anbu ninjas leaped out from below the steps, positioned around him, and simultaneously slammed their hands onto the ground.

"Four Purple Flame Formation!"

Four purple flames immediately rose from the ground, intersecting and merging in mid-air to form a huge square cage, trapping Pain and the Third Hokage inside.

"Die!" The Third Hokage rallied his spirits and immediately swung his Vajra Cudgel, aiming it at Pain's head.

"Heh..." Payne chuckled coldly, flicking his wrists to summon two black rods. "You didn't actually think I only knew how to use eye techniques, did you?"

With a loud clang, the Vajra Cudgel and the Black Cudgel collided heavily, sending out dazzling sparks.

"Grow!" The Third Hokage shouted, and the Vajra Staff suddenly grew longer, as fast as lightning, and stabbed towards Pain.

However, Pain had already witnessed this once before, so of course he wouldn't fall for it. He simply tilted his head slightly and let the golden staff pass.

Suddenly, the Third Generation released his grip, his hands rapidly forming hand seals at such a speed that they created afterimages.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a fireball formed in his throat, followed by a whirlwind that quickly merged with the fireball, forming a massive flame that spewed from his mouth and swept across the land.

"Combined Ninjutsu: Wind and Fire Across the City!"

At the same time, the Vajra Staff that had been released from his hand suddenly transformed back into the form of the Ape Demon. With a twist of its waist in mid-air, it delivered a heavy punch to Pain's back.

However, the eyes of all six realms of reincarnation are interconnected, so a sudden attack is ineffective.

Payne easily dodged the ape demon's attack by sidestepping, and at the same time, he grabbed the ape demon's wrist with his right hand, swung it forward with force, and used the ape demon as a shield to smash it into the flames.

This series of counterattacks flowed smoothly, with movements as elegant as a dance.

"Damn it!" the ape demon cursed, and quickly transformed back into a stick.

But this time the stick ended up in Payne's hands.

Relying on his puppet body, Payne faced the raging flames and instead of retreating, he charged into them, braving the wind and fire attacks.

He burst through the fire in one step and struck the third generation on the head with a single blow.

The Third Hokage had no choice but to retreat, and the Wind and Fire Combined Ninjutsu naturally crumbled on its own.

With five seconds passing in the blink of an eye, the Third Generation knew that if he couldn't kill the enemy this time, it wouldn't be so easy to bring the enemy down from the sky next time.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and with a determined heart, he formed the hand seals of the Four Symbols Seal, intending to perish together with Pain.

Before he could even make a move, he heard someone shouting loudly from below:

"Third Hokage, do not use the Four Symbols Seal! The Pain before you is a puppet!"

The warning was like a thunderclap, startling the Third Generation. He hesitated for a moment, and the opportunity was missed.

Payne raised his hand.

"Shinra Tensei!"

The immense repulsive force erupted once more, like an invisible torrent, completely destroying the entire Four Purple Flame Array and blowing away a group of people.

Payne floated back into the air and looked down to see the person who had ruined his bait plan, which immediately made him very unhappy.

"Itachi, you finally made the wrong choice!"
