Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 206 Mythical Beast vs. Pain: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

Bang! ! !

Jiraiya was blasted away again.

If it were only Pain of the Deva Path, Jiraiya might have been able to hold out for quite some time. But now that all six Pains have gathered, this one of Konoha's legendary Sannin is suddenly in grave danger.

"Boss, Big Sister, are you alright?"

Inside the pit, Jiraiya looked up with a solemn expression at the six figures approaching.

"fine."

"Jiraiya, how did your Rinnegan disciple turn out like this?"

Both Shima and Fukasaku had solemn expressions, filled with apprehension towards Nagato's puppet.

"Oh, how would I know?"

Jiraiya sighed, then his face fell into deep thought.

Should we run away?

Although Nagato's six puppets were very powerful, they seemed somewhat clumsy in their coordination, probably because they had only been made recently.

Although he had been on the defensive in the previous battle, Jiraiya was confident that he could escape.

only……

Nagato in his current state, and Konan too...

Jiraiya looked conflicted. He was somewhat reluctant to let go of his two disciples whose personalities had changed so drastically, and he hadn't even found out why they had become like this.

but.

Jiraiya glanced at the two sages on his left and right shoulders, noticing that they were just as covered in dust and dirt as he was, and even had some injuries on their bodies. He quickly made up his mind!

go!

Having made his decision, Jiraiya naturally wouldn't delay any longer.

boom! ! !

The ground beneath Jiraiya's feet instantly shattered, and his figure rushed towards the border of the Land of Rain with lightning speed.

"Jiraiya-sensei, are you trying to run away?!"

"Hmph! Naive!"

"Universal Guidance!"

Pain immediately saw through his master's intentions and decisively used the Universal Pull.

At the same time, he also ordered the remaining five puppets to fly quickly toward Jiraiya, intending to leave his teacher's life in the Land of Rain!

"Earth Release! Earthflow Wall!"

"Wind Release! Great Breakthrough!"

Jiraiya instantly unleashed two ninjutsu to counter the powerful suction of the Universal Pull.

The Shima and Fukasaku sages on his shoulders were not idle either, swiftly spewing out flames infused with toad oil.

If it were ordinary flames, Pain wouldn't have needed to avoid them at all, thanks to the Preta Path which can absorb chakra and ninjutsu. However, the two toads from Mount Myōboku used Sage Flames.

Seeing this, Pain, who had already suffered losses in the previous battle, frowned.

Watching Jiraiya flee at top speed, and seeing the surging flames approaching, Nagato's eyes hardened. The other Pains flew to the side, but the Asura Path grabbed the Human Path's arm and swung it forward violently!

Bang! ! !

Asura Path Pain was engulfed by flames, but Human Path passed through the sea of ​​fire, rushing towards Jiraiya with sparks still clinging to his body.

Upon seeing a puppet reaching out its hand towards him, Jiraiya, though unaware of Pain's abilities, still cautiously began gathering chakra in his palm.

Just as the Human Path was about to touch Jiraiya's body and extract his soul.

"Otama Rasengan!"

bang——

A massive chakra orb slammed into the Human Path of Pain, instantly shattering the puppet into pieces!

"As expected of Jiraiya-sensei~"

Nagato's eyes narrowed slightly.

However, just as Jiraiya was preparing to escape and Changyao was preparing to control the five Pains to continue the pursuit, a deafening roar resounded.

"roar--"

Nagato and Jiraiya turned around instantly, and Konan, Kakuzu, and the others who were watching the battle not far away also quickly looked over.

Suddenly, a gigantic monster, tens of meters tall, appeared in the center of Amegakure.

With its bull's head and spider's body, it exudes an incredibly astonishing aura. Just looking at it from afar is enough to send chills down your spine, as if it were a monster that had stepped out of mythology. It is completely different from the normal summoning beasts in the ninja world!

"Rinnegan brat!"

"You can come after me for what I did, why did you have to attack Amegakure?!"

"I won't forgive you... I absolutely won't forgive you!!!"

The monster with the head of a bull and the body of a spider was now speaking human language, and judging from its voice, it was almost exactly the same as Hanzo the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure!

In Amegakure, the people, who were becoming increasingly panicked by the appearance of the monster, were stunned when they heard a familiar voice.

With a tremor-like stomping and movement, the bull-headed, spider-bodied monster cautiously crossed the Rain Village and quickly rushed towards the battlefield between Pain and Jiraiya.

Upon seeing this, the people of Amegakure were even more astonished.

"That monster didn't attack us?"

"That voice sounded so familiar... Could it be... Lord Hanzo?!"

"Really?"

"Good heavens, how did Lord Hanzo become like this?"

"How...how scary..."

While people were still in shock and relief, on the other side, Hanzo, who had transformed into a demon, had already arrived at the battlefield between Pain and Jiraiya.

This is... Hanzo??

How did this guy become like this?

Does this look like it's eaten some secret treasure?

Looking at the enormous monster so close to him, Payne's eyes were filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

"You brat! Prepare to die!"

Hanzo the Salamander, who was already skilled in using poison, spewed out venom like an endless wave after eating the Mythical Zoan-type Ox-Oni Fruit, completely enveloping all five Pain bodies without leaving a single gap.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Pain frowned, then stretched out his right hand and easily deflected all the incoming venom.

呲味~

The highly toxic venom that landed corroded the ground, creating deep pits. Seeing this, Jiraiya quickly avoided the dangerous battlefield.

Bang! ! !

The ground exploded instantly.

The salamander Hanzo, transformed into a bull demon, leaped into the air, his enormous spider legs sweeping horizontally towards Pain, the Deva Path, who was in mid-air.

Faced with an attack that felt like Mount Tai pressing down, Nagato immediately controlled the Deva Path Pain to fly backward and dodge the attack, while simultaneously having the Asura Path Pain continuously fire missiles at Hanzo the Salamander.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

In an instant, dust and smoke rose everywhere.

But in that thick fog, Hanzo the Salamander only suffered minor superficial injuries.

Even this minor superficial injury is healing extremely quickly!

It will definitely work... With this power, even the Rinnegan might not be a match for me!

Feeling the continuous power flowing through his body, Hanzo of the Salamander felt a long-lost surge of passion and excitement. He then raised his head and stared intently at the five Pain figures flying in the air, his eyes gradually turning crimson.

Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits grant certain basic abilities that are almost innate after consumption.

At this moment, the fierce eye ability belonging to the mythical Gyūki was unleashed by Hanzo, the demigod of the ninja world, the Salamander.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Pain, who was flying in the sky waiting for his abilities to cool down, suddenly frowned.

For a fleeting moment, the other bodies of Payne seemed to lose control and inexplicably came to a standstill.

Pain immediately looked down at the giant bull-headed, spider-bodied monster. Seeing its crimson eyes, he pondered for less than a second before making a slight guess about the possibility.

"Is it something like the Sharingan?"

A look of surprise flashed in Pain's eyes, but it quickly turned into indifference and calm as he reached out and aimed at the monster below.

"Universal Guidance!"

The fierce suction force erupted instantly, causing the ground within a radius of nearly a kilometer to tremble continuously.

"It didn't work?"

Looking at the effect of his fierce eye ability, which barely even amounted to interference, Hanzo the Salamander couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

But soon, this battle-hardened demigod of the ninja world regained his composure.

Watching the ground around him fly upwards, Hanzo the Salamander sneered and then let the suction pull him up without any resistance.

The monstrous bull demon, tens of meters tall and heavy, gradually rose into the air.

However, there was no joy on Pain's face, because along with Hanzo the Salamander, there was also a purple, highly poisonous mist surrounding him.

The poisonous fog continued to spread, and soon it covered an area of ​​nearly a kilometer in radius, centered on Hanzo the Salamander!

Pain frowned as he watched the approaching purple poisonous mist.

Too great a distance will weaken the power of Shinra Tensei, and in the current situation, it is clearly impossible to unleash Shinra Tensei at close range.

Pain waved his hand, causing the Asura Path to fire missiles towards the center of the purple fog.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The impact of the flames and explosions instantly dispersed a lot of the poisonous fog, but Hanzo the Salamander quickly plugged the gap again after seeing this.

From time to time, streams of venom would spray out from the unseen thick fog, like water guns, attacking the five bodies of Pain.

"This is so... annoying!"

Pain's expression was cold, a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he no longer hesitated and directly used Shinra Tensei.

A terrifying repulsive force erupted instantly!

Centered on Pain, everything was deflected without any doubt!

Bang!

The salamander Hanzo, lifted into the air by the suction force, crashed to the ground like a meteorite, creating a crater hundreds of meters long.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Kid, it seems your abilities are completely useless against me!"

"This weak attack feels like it's tickling me!"

"Haha, the so-called Rinnegan is nothing but a trifle compared to this treasure I've devoured!"

Because of the considerable distance, Shinra Tensei was less powerful. Relying on the unique defense and recovery abilities of Mythical Zoan species, Hanzo of the Salamander was completely unharmed in this attack, which filled him with confidence, and he couldn't help but taunt.

"you……"

A flash of hatred crossed Pain's eyes, followed by an uncontrollable rage.

Hanzo the Salamander was originally the enemy who killed his friend Yahiko, but now, after eating some unknown treasure, he dared to be arrogant in front of him.

At the Akatsuki's secret base, Nagato clenched his fist and then controlled the five Paths of Pain to rush forward together.

however……

The five puppets of Pain, who had previously easily suppressed Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, now seemed to be struggling when facing Hanzo of the Salamander, who had eaten the Mythical Zoan-type Gyu-Oni Fruit.

The Hungry Ghost Path is basically useless. The abilities of the Ox Demon are either physical techniques or venom, neither of which are chakra, so they cannot be absorbed at all.

The giant summoned beast from the Animal Path could fight Hanzo the Salamander for a while, but it was quickly poisoned to death by the deadly venom. The tongue attack from the Hell Path was completely ignored.

Only the missiles from the Asura Path and Pain from the Deva Path could inflict some damage on Hanzo of the Salamander, but these minor injuries would heal on their own almost immediately.

For a moment, the five Pains with Rinnegan and Hanzo the Salamander, who had transformed into a bull demon, were evenly matched.

The battle reached a stalemate.

Thud! Thud! ——

呲味~

The two sides continued to fight. The violent explosions, repulsive and suction forces, and terrifying venom quickly turned the surrounding area into a landscape riddled with craters and devastation.

……

"So strong!"

"Did Hanzo consume some kind of unusual treasure?"

"But... why does this one he ate seem even scarier than Kushina's?"

Not far away, Jiraiya was watching the battle intently.

Seeing that the Pain's men, who had just been overwhelming him, were now having no way to deal with Hanzo the Salamander, Jiraiya felt a surge of respect for this senior.

At the same time.

Konan, Kakuzu, and the others, who were watching the battle from not far away on the other side, were also incredibly shocked when they witnessed a battle far exceeding that of ordinary ninjas.

……

……

the other side.

The gathering of the Rinnegan, the Mythical Zoan type, and Jiraiya also alarmed Isshiki Otsutsuki, who had been hiding in the ninja world all along!

"Could such a powerful fruit actually be found in that secret treasure?"

Looking at the bull-headed, spider-bodied monster that was fighting almost to a standstill with the Rinnegan, Otsutsuki Isshiki's eyes were filled with curiosity.

The world revives...the secret treasure...

Unlike Black Zetsu, who split off from Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was like a sheltered young lady, Isshiki Otsutsuki, who had once roamed the starry sky, immediately became alert after noticing the strange changes in the ninja world.

After all, the so-called secret treasure is not something that would be born in the ninja world.

The idea of ​​world revival was met with disdain by Isshiki Otsutsuki, who had destroyed many worlds in the past.

Therefore, before this, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was very cautious.

He didn't even have the thought of studying the treasure; he immediately hid in his own secondary space. But now, the appearance of the Mythical Beast has sparked a spark of interest in Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Isshiki's eyes flickered slightly as he watched the bull-headed monster locked in a stalemate with Payne.

……

……

at the same time.

The Land of Waves, the Base of Ark Maxims.

"Finally appeared, the little mouse that's been hiding for so long."

Suzuki turned his head to look in the direction of the Land of Rain, a smile appearing on his face.

In an instant, an invisible and intangible force field spread out, plunging the entire Land of Waves into black and white, and everything came to a standstill!

The next moment, the invisible force field suddenly withdrew.

A figure entirely in silver-white instantly took to the air and flew rapidly toward the Land of Rain at an incredible speed!
