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

Chapter 79 Breaking Through Defenses, Centenarian DIO! (First Update)

As Popo uttered his famous line, "Dio, your power is to control the stairs," almost everyone's eyes turned to him in an instant, and at that moment, even the air seemed to freeze.

No one spoke, no one even dared to breathe heavily. Silence, utter silence, absolute stillness—a silence so profound you could hear your own heartbeat, the air thick with an awkward atmosphere.

"Polnareff..." Even with Dio's composure, he couldn't help but cover half of his face, his crimson eye peeking out from between his fingers filled with speechlessness: "I take back everything I just said to you."

He took a deep breath, as if desperately suppressing something: "I actually want to recruit you..."

The thought that he had just thought this silver-haired swordsman had some use made Dio's temples throb. Taking such a stupid guy as a subordinate was an insult to him as the "Emperor of Evil," more humiliating than having his chest pierced by Jonathan's Ripple.

So... Dio abruptly lowered his hand, his elegant composure vanishing completely, replaced by an almost ferocious rage: "I've decided, I'll kill you!"

Bobo's outburst completely destroyed the oppressive and mysterious aura he had painstakingly created. Since he couldn't keep up the act, he might as well tear off the mask. After all, he was the invincible Dio, and his Stand, "The World," was even more invincible!

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, yellow figure slowly emerged behind Dio. "The World" scanned the crowd with its eyes, which were just as cold as Dio's, exuding an oppressive aura.

"Now's the time... Iggy...make your move!"

Almost at the same time that Dio summoned "The World", Yoshikage Kira's voice suddenly rang out.

Accompanied by a short, sharp bark, countless swishing sounds suddenly came from the ceiling above, followed by a shower of fine sand. It was sand controlled by Iggy's Stand, "The Fool," and under the cover of the sand rain, the thousands of ultraviolet lamps that had just killed Vanilla suddenly appeared, pointing directly at Dio's location.

"Not good!" The moment Dio saw the ultraviolet lights, his pupils contracted sharply, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart. He finally understood why Vanilla, who had accepted his blood and been assimilated into a vampire, had been defeated so quickly, without even being able to inflict any damage on his opponent.

It turns out these guys were prepared all along!

Vampires are indeed incredibly powerful creatures, possessing near-infinite lifespans and the extraordinary ability to heal from injuries by drinking blood, making them virtually invincible under the cover of darkness. However, they have a fatal weakness that renders them no longer invincible; they can even be easily killed by what they perceive as "small bread."

Danger... It's extremely dangerous here...

Dio's first instinct was to retreat. With "The World's" time-stopping ability, he was confident he could escape before being exposed to the ultraviolet rays. But when his gaze swept over Avdol beside Popo, he stopped in his tracks.

To be fair, compared to the Silver Chariot with its basic abilities, Avdol's Red Magician is clearly more troublesome. He is one of the few Stands that can pose a threat to Dio. The high-temperature flames, powerful bursts, and life detection abilities are all enough to threaten him on their own, let alone when they are all combined in one person.

Therefore, Dio, who possesses the ability to stop time, plans to eliminate one or two opponents before retreating, otherwise it will be troublesome when they reunite with Jotaro.

His first target was Abuder.

However, Kira Yoshikage saw through all of Dio's little tricks.

Just as Dio lunged at Avdol, Kira Yoshikage's voice rang out again: "Avdol, Polnareff, use Ripple!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, golden ripples surged out from Avdol and Polnareff like a tide. These were the Ripple technique that Joseph had taught them beforehand.

Even though there was still some distance to go, Dio felt a burning pain on his skin.

Dio was shocked; this was a situation he, the villainous savior, had not anticipated.

Why would these two use ripples?

With the combination of ultraviolet lamps and ripple-like energy blasts, it's safe to say that the entire DI0 team is a natural counter to vampires!

Even Dior had no choice but to avoid direct confrontation at this point.

I should have used my knife from a distance instead of charging in...

In that brief moment of Dior's hesitation, the ultraviolet lamp was already turned on, and the light that could cause Dior fatal damage gradually moved.

Damn it!

Dio cursed under his breath, immediately abandoning his plan to attack Avdol and the others, and instead had his Stand use its ability.

"Smash! Valudo!!!"

As the iconic shout rang out, blue and white light waves spread out from the world's body. The next second, the whole world seemed to be paused: the flames raised by the red magician froze in mid-air, Polnareff's silver chariot stopped in its sheath after drawing its sword halfway, and even Iggy's claw, which was controlling the switch of the ultraviolet lamp, remained bent.

Time stop!

Time-stopping ability, a powerful Stand ability that allows the user to control time.

Unfortunately, Dio's current body is not yet fully integrated with Jonathan's former body, and he is far from being able to achieve the nine-second time stop. Currently, the time stop effect only lasts for five seconds. Otherwise, with the speed and strength of a vampire, even with ultraviolet light activated, he could kill everyone and leave.

Even five seconds was enough for him to do a lot! Dio's eyes sharpened, and he instantly slipped into a corner of the room, completely hidden by heavy curtains and out of reach of the ultraviolet light. Then, he pulled out a handful of small, gleaming knives from somewhere, and his wrists began to move rapidly, almost mechanically.

He threw eight swords at Avdol, five at Iggy, and then threw the remaining ten at Yoshikage Kira.

"Mudai! Mudai! Mudai! Mudai!"

Avdol's abilities pose a certain threat to him and must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Iggy controls the ultraviolet lamps that can kill him, and they must be eliminated.

Although Yoshikage Kira did not attack at all, it was he who set up the ultraviolet light to remind the other two to activate Ripple. This kind of opponent is the first one to be eliminated, so Dio lost his weapon.

As for Popo... he's a blank slate... even less useful than that old man's stand! Dio can take care of him anytime!

It's not worth wasting a throwing knife at all.

"You're all dead!" Just as he finished, the five-second time stop ended. Dio stood in the shadows, a cruel smirk playing on his lips, arms crossed, ready to savor the gruesome sight of daggers piercing through the bodies of those people, blood splattering everywhere.

However...

"I knew you would do this."

Kira Yoshikage's contemptuous voice reached Dio's ears with perfect clarity.
