Naruto: Starting from the time when the Six Paths of Pain was Kira Yoshikage

It's just a highly toxic substance.

"Spiritual communication!"

Pain, the Deva Path, also used a summoning technique.

Hanzo, who was waiting for Pain's attack, suddenly felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. Before he could react, his vision suddenly went dark, and the sky above his head seemed to be blocked by something.

He suddenly looked up at the sky, and the next moment, he was completely stunned.

Do you know a move that comes down from the sky?!

A huge shadow was seen descending from the sky.

It looks like—a ship?!

It was a ship, a huge ship, or more accurately, a cruise ship, crashing down like a meteorite! Its target was the location of the Salamander and Hanzo!

Stand - Power!

The Stand's power is that its main body is a giant cruise ship, capable of controlling any part of the ship to launch attacks.

Since poison can damage Stand summons with vital signs, let's fight with Stand summons made of inorganic matter.

This move can be called "heavenly power" or "heavenly obstruction, star-like effect, cruise ship version".

Hanzo was quite decisive. The moment he saw the cruise ship descending from the sky, he immediately abandoned the poisonous fog field he had just created and ordered the salamander to dive underground, while he himself used water teleportation to escape.

The main problem is that if you don't dodge, and you get hit by one of those things, even if he survives by sheer luck, your salamander will definitely be smashed into a pile of minced meat.

With a deafening roar, the cruise ship slammed into the ground, sending dust billowing into the air and causing the earth to tremble. A huge crater and half of the cruise ship appeared at the center of the attack.

Hanzo, who narrowly avoided the attack, looked at Pain with lingering fear: "You probably can't use that move a second time, can you?"

Pain did not answer him, but Hanzo was certain that the other party would never be able to use it a second time.

If he can use this level of terrifying moves continuously, he might as well just wait to die.

The power of the Rinnegan... is terrifying...

With this in mind, Hanzo's desire for the Rinnegan deepened even further.

Let's recreate that poisonous fog field again!

"Salamander?!"

However, Hanzo's calls did not bring back his summoned beast.

Amegakure is constantly accompanied by rain, and Pain, the Deva Path Summoning Beast, is quite skilled in underwater combat, with one of them being the Dark Blue Moon.

The moment the salamander burrowed underground, Dark Blue Moon, who had been waiting in the shadows, followed and unleashed its skill on the creature.

Dark Blue Moon, the first Stand subordinate of Dio encountered in the Egyptian battle against Dio's crew. While her stats are below average, she possesses a truly nasty skill – barnacles. She can implant barnacles on her opponent through physical contact, continuously absorbing their power.

The poor salamander was now trapped underground, surrounded by countless barnacles, unable to move and only able to let out soft, mournful cries.

Pain's goal wasn't to attack Hanzo at all, but to separate the salamander.

Hanzo's biggest trump card has been exposed.

With no sign of the salamander in sight, a look of panic appeared on the legendary ninja's face for the first time. Fear and unease surged into his heart once again, just as he had felt during the battle a few months ago.

"You have no secrets from those eyes."

Pain looked calmly at Hanzo, as if stating a commonplace fact: "Your only fate is death."

Under the gaze of those Rinnegan eyes, Hanzo's first thought was to escape.

It's eerie, so eerie. Ever since the battle began, everything has been strange.

An unseen attack, a force inexplicably reflected, Yahiko's resurrection, the terrifying attack that descends from the sky, and the mysterious disappearance of the summoning beast.

He even suspected at one point that he was in a hallucination.

He no longer wants the Rinnegan.

Confusion, panic, fear, and the urge to run away are all major taboos for ninjas in battle.

Logically speaking, Hanzo, as a legendary ninja, should have been calm and composed, and shouldn't have such emotions. Unfortunately, his mentality was shattered by Nagato's outburst a few months ago.

If it had been Nagato instead of Pain, Hanzo would have fled immediately.

The moment these negative emotions arise, it means defeat is inevitable.

Aside from the later chaotic battles involving light beams, most one-on-one fights between ordinary ninjas are intelligence battles and psychological warfare, which is extremely similar to the battles between Nen users in the Hunter x Hunter world.

Whoever loses their composure first will lose, even if the opponent is clearly stronger, they will still be defeated.

Even disregarding Nagato's main body and Six Paths clones, the information about the Six Paths puppets alone is beyond the reach of ordinary ninjas, containing far too many information gaps.

Therefore, Hanzo's fate was sealed from the very beginning.

Pain not only needs to defeat Hanzo at his strongest, but also needs to completely break his mentality step by step.

This is something Nagato learned from Hisoka.

To be honest, it's quite interesting to watch the other person's mentality gradually collapse.

"Fire Release: Exploding Flame Formation!"

As Hanzo rapidly formed hand seals, the ground near Pain gradually shifted, revealing countless explosive tags that swarmed towards him.

Unfortunately, this level of attack couldn't even get close to Pain's body, and was easily blocked by the Yellow Temperance, who was always on standby beside him.

Although this ninjutsu had blown off Nagato's legs a few months ago.

However, Hanzo did not expect this move to work. His purpose was not to attack Pain, but to use the special explosive tags to attract Pain's attention, while he used the Water Instantaneous Movement to escape.

He wanted to escape, escape from here, escape from Pain, escape as far away as possible.

What legends of the ninja world, what leaders of Amegakure, none of them are as important as one's own life.

Unfortunately, everything he did was still being done right under Pain's nose.

As Hanzo walked further and further away, Pain simply stretched out one hand, aiming it at Hanzo's back: "Universal Pull!"

The next moment, Hanzo froze in place as if he had been frozen in place.

Then his body went out of control and he flew back at an even faster speed.

Under the power of the Rinnegan, Hanzo had no ability to resist, and Pain, with ample chakra support, was far more powerful than the original.

Hanzo's eyes were filled with terror and despair, and... a final glimmer of madness in them.

"I just want to live..."

While flying backwards in the air, Hanzo pulled out a kunai, but instead of using it to make a final stand against Pain, he thrust it fiercely into his own left abdomen.

"Since you won't let me live, then let's all...die together!"

The instant the kunai sank into his abdomen, an even denser and more pungent deep purple poisonous mist erupted, engulfing Hanzo and Pain together.

This was Hanzo's final, decisive blow.
