Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 280 Three Treasures Absorb Collapse (12)

Sunagakure Village, a place of seclusion.

"Whoosh."

The fishing hook was cast into the small pond in front of him, but the ripples it created made the old man across from him frown.

"You just scared my fish away!"

The old man, who was very frail and decrepit, was quite dissatisfied, but the old woman opposite him showed no intention of backing down.

"You blame me for scaring the fish away when you can't catch it? An old geezer like you can only hook the fish and then reel it in!"

The old woman rolled her eyes as she spoke.

Ebizo, sitting opposite him, didn't want to argue anymore, and the two of them sat facing each other in silence once again.

If you don't look closely, you might even think that these two old guys are dead.

After a long pause, Ebizo raised his head slightly: "The commotion outside has subsided; it seems to be over."

Chiyo glanced at him and said, "What's it to you, you old geezer?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head again and pretended to doze off, paying no attention to the movement of the fishing rod.

Ebizo did the same, turning his head to glance at the gate. In such a short time, things should have calmed down.

Chiyo lowered her head and said in a deep voice, "You and I are both about to go to the Pure Land. We're quite old, and we've agreed not to get involved in the village's affairs anymore."

"The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, that fool may be weak to outsiders, but he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve when it comes to internal power struggles. He's lucky he's not kicked out of this place he finally has to retire."

After a long pause, Hai Laozang sighed.

Ultimately, it is up to the next generation to grow up.

The Fourth Kazekage was indeed a fool, but such a fool is now the Kazekage of Sunagakure. As the Kazekage, he will not allow any threat to his position.

Yekura died for the same reason.

At that moment, Chiyo looked up towards the door.

"squeak……"

The wooden door was slowly pushed open, and Pain, the first in line, had just taken a step out...

"Whoosh!"

Two large swords fell from the left and right sides, beheading the target, while thousands of books came rushing towards it from directly in front.

Shinra Tensei!

The immense repulsive force instantly sent all the weapons flying. Chiyo twitched her finger slightly, and all the rebounded senbon floated in the air as if they had lost their power.

"Bang bang bang..."

Two large swords fell to the ground, followed by thousands of books falling down with a thud.

"How many times have I told you? Traps and mechanisms can't be placed at the entrance. Look, someone was almost hurt!"

Chiyo scolded Ebizo, ignoring his innocent gaze, and instead looked at the six figures at the door.

"That headband looks familiar. What brings a rogue ninja from Amegakure to Sunagakure?"

Tendou remained expressionless as he looked at Chiyo and said, "As someone who once led the war against Sunagakure, you wouldn't forget your own traps. And a puppeteer wouldn't be unable to control the mechanism just now, let alone someone like you."

Grandma Chiyo thought for a moment, then clapped her hands playfully and said, "I remember now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, five pipes emerged from the door frame behind Pain, and purple smoke instantly billowed out, enveloping Pain.

Only then did Chiyo feign anxiety and say, "I just remembered there's a poison gas trap on the door, and I was just about to warn you, but unfortunately I didn't have time... So young, what a pity."

Across from him, Ebizo slowly lowered his fishing rod, glancing at the area shrouded in poisonous gas: "Since we've managed to get this far, the village has probably already fallen. Should we head out?"

Chiyo shook her head slightly: "Sunagakure suffered a decline under that idiot's leadership, but that doesn't mean it's the same elsewhere. Although young, he clearly has some skills."

As soon as he finished speaking, the poisonous fog dissipated.

Pain remained completely still and showed no signs of being poisoned.

Chiyo frowned slightly. Although she sensed that the six people were not seriously injured, to be completely unharmed and not even move...

This was indeed somewhat unexpected.

"Granny Chiyo of Sunagakure... does indeed possess some power."

Pain slowly extended his hand as he spoke: "But as a militant faction that has experienced war, they must be eliminated."

All things guide the heavens!

In an instant, a tremendous suction force appeared.

With such a peculiar ability appearing suddenly, Ebizo and Chiyo lost their balance in an instant and flew towards the Heavenly Path.

At the same time, the rockets from the Asura Path were also launched suddenly, colliding with each other, attempting to kill the two in one blow.

"Bang!"

Two scrolls were opened, revealing three puppets that were summoned and plunged their long swords into the ground. The chakra threads tightened, stopping Chiyo and Ebizo from being pulled by gravity.

Chiyo showed no panic as she looked at the oncoming rockets, and stretched out her hand to aim them forward.

Machine-Light Shield!

A blue light shield formed from chakra materialized in front of them, blocking more than ten rockets in an instant.

"Boom boom boom...!"

A roaring sound erupted, raising a cloud of dust over the open area.

For a moment, Pain's vision was completely blocked, inadvertently sealing off his field of vision. Pain's vision is shared; it's useless for one person alone.

As the dust settled, Chiyo unfurled the summoning scroll, revealing ten puppets in front of her, facing the Six Paths of Pain.

"The ability to control repulsive and attractive forces—I don't recall Amegakure possessing such a bloodline power."

As Chiyo spoke, she slightly moved her ten fingers, and the ten puppets in front of her moved at the same time.

"Whoosh!"

The puppet's two arms extended, aiming directly at the Six Paths of Pain, from which countless bone spikes suddenly pierced out.

Shinra Tensei!

In an instant, the puppet's arm was knocked away by the repulsive force.

But the next moment, three black balls were seen spitting out of its mouth, each wrapped with an explosive tag.

"Boom boom boom!"

The rockets from the Asura Path flew out, prematurely detonating the explosive tags.

Then the Animal Path pressed its hands to the ground: Spirit Summoning Technique!

Cerberus appeared, having been strengthened by the animal realm.

"roar!!"

With a roar, the three-headed dog leaped up and stopped a puppet wielding two giant blades.

"puff!"

Under Chiyo's control, the three-headed hellhound was quickly cut in two.

However, the three-headed dog quickly split, and both heads attacked the puppet together, knocking it away with a single blow.

However, the next moment, a blue light flashed between the heads of another puppet, and a blade formed from chakra struck, cutting another hellhound into three pieces.

"roar!!"

With a roar, the three-headed dog multiplied into four. The ability to infinitely split—such a power is indeed a way to deal with puppets.

Meanwhile, rockets from the Asura Path streaked past one after another, as the two puppets relentlessly attacked it.

Because they are puppets, the opponents do not have any weaknesses in their souls. The Human Path can only rely on close combat skills to entangle with the two puppets.

"Whoosh!"

Dodging a puppet's blue blade, the Hungry Ghost Path instantly reached out and grabbed the puppet's wrist.

Sealing Technique Absorption Seal!

A tremendous suction force emerged from his hand, instantly absorbing all the chakra stored within his body, as well as the chakra threads connected to his back.

"Bang."

The puppet landed and stopped moving.

Soon after, a second one appeared.

This scene caused Chiyo, who was controlling the puppets, to frown slightly. With a flick of her fingers, the eight puppets quickly retreated.

"When it was captured, the chakra within the puppet's body, as well as the chakra threads connecting it, disappeared."

Ebizo said in a deep voice, looking at the Six Paths of Pain, "Everyone's abilities are different, but the pupils of their eyes are all the same. Also, the puppets' coordinated sneak attacks don't seem to be working."

"Same type of pupils... plus, from the moment they came in, all six of them have been expressionless, and only one of them is the leader. This situation... seems familiar."

familiar?

Chiyo was slightly taken aback, then realized it too.

puppet!

Only puppets, because they are in sync with each other, will not speak, will not have any opinions, and will not show any emotions.

Chiyo's gaze fell upon Pain, the small black stick catching her attention.

So... where is the real body?

However, nothing was discovered despite my perception.

"Get ready, you old geezer!"

As soon as Chiyo finished speaking, five of the remaining eight puppets attacked again.

One of the puppets, entangled with the Heavenly Dao, would have a layer of its outer shell peeled off with each repulsive force.

Although she was clearly outmatched, Chiyo's goal was not that.

In the ensuing melee, five puppets were targeting five Pains, while the other three were fighting against the Preta Path.

Clearly, the Hungry Ghost Realm's advantage over the puppet has just been demonstrated. To win, the Hungry Ghost Realm must be eliminated first.

And because their abilities had just been exposed, the three puppets were now constantly on guard against any contact with the Hungry Ghost Path.

"boom!!"

The three-headed dog had now split into eight or nine, and the puppet was finding it difficult to deal with.

The next moment, all but the Preta Path of Pain lost sight of one direction within a second.

opportunity!

In an instant, the three puppets representing Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha connected to form a triangle.

The Three Treasures are drained!

A tremendous suction force appeared, instantly striking the Hungry Ghost Realm.

However, at that very moment, Heaven reached out its hand.

Shinra Tensei!

The repulsive force met the suction force of the Three Treasures Absorption, and because Nagato's body had recovered, the chakra within Pain's body increased again.

"quick!!!"

Chiyo sensed her weakness in the power struggle, and with a shout, Ebizo's hands had already begun forming hand seals.

Chakra threads extended out and connected to the three puppets representing Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.

"drink!"

With a sharp shout, Ebizo's perpetually squinted eyes snapped open.

In an instant, the three puppets of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha suddenly enlarged, and the suction force at the center of the triangle formed by the three puppets also suddenly surged.

"With such power, if it hits, no one can withstand it!"

Chiyo laughed, and the Hungry Ghost Path was gradually being pulled towards the center of the triangle.

Once it's sucked in, the immense pressure will crush it into powder.

However, the next moment...

Pain shook his head slightly: "How can you be so certain without ever having witnessed the true power of this world? Even if I once proclaimed myself a god, I no longer have that kind of confidence."

Shinra...Tensei!!

As soon as Pain finished speaking, a repulsive force different from the previous ones suddenly erupted.

The ravages swept through the area, scraping away nearly a meter of the ground's bricks and soil.

"boom!!!"

Upon first contact, the suction force of the Three Treasures was immediately shattered, and the three puppets were instantly sent flying, pressed against the rock wall and pushed forward... until they were crushed into pieces.

Just before the impact arrived, Chiyo activated the machine light shield again.

Despite being pressed against the rock wall and suffering internal bleeding due to the resistance of the blue shield, he did not die.

With the dust settled, Pain slowly walked up to the two of them.

"Cough cough cough!"

Both elderly people coughed up blood from their internal organs and leaned weakly against the rock wall, panting.

"How could such...power...be...from a rogue ninja from Amegakure?"

Intermittently, Chiyo's gaze remained fixed on Pain: "Even... even Hanzo of the Salamander... doesn't have... this kind of ability... and power!"

Ebizo, standing to the side, kept his head down, and a barely audible voice came from his mouth: "Although I have been living in seclusion and have not been involved in other matters, there have been rumors of a split in Amegakure."

"And your eyes... I didn't notice until now because of my age. After all, six people have the exact same special pupils... the Rinnegan, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chiyo, who was standing next to him, was stunned.

Rinnegan?

Reminded by the reminder, Chiyo also recalled some mythological stories about the Sage of Six Paths in the Sunagakure documents.

Yes, it's a story.

Thousands of years have passed, and the gods of the past are now just myths.

But it is precisely because it is a myth that the real fear arises when it appears before our eyes in person.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Gasping for breath, Chiyo gave a helpless, bitter laugh: "The power of the Rinnegan. So the split in Amegakure is real, but you're the ultimate victor, aren't you? Hanzo, you killed him too, didn't you?"

Pain nodded slightly: "You guessed right. Those of you who have been living in seclusion seem unaware of the current state of the ninja world..."

Just as Pain was about to say something, he suddenly looked at the dilapidated entrance to the side.

After a pause, he calmly asked, "So even a rogue ninja from Sunagakure who killed the Third Kazekage and turned him into a puppet, would he still feel nostalgia when faced with family?"

Chiyo was taken aback by Pain's words.

Family ties?

In this world, if there is any family affection besides my brother, it is only one person.

Chiyo looked in that direction, and her gaze, which had been vacant due to her serious injuries, regained some of its sparkle.

"The one who traveled all this way to kill this old woman even had his own grandson. I never imagined I'd see you one last time before I die."

The scorpion slowly emerged from the doorway, its bloated puppet crawling slowly on the ground. A hoarse and deep voice followed, saying, "I have completed my eternal art, and I have come here to show you this eternal beauty."

Chiyo's gaze narrowed slightly. As the most outstanding puppeteer in Sunagakure, she recognized Hiruko at a glance.
