Chapter 409 The One Who Controls Pain: Nagato

[Suddenly, the Deva Path unleashed the Universal Pull on Kakashi, but Kakashi used his Lightning Clone Technique to evade it.]

[Using clones and physical techniques to probe an opponent's abilities before assessing them is a common tactic Kakashi employs.]

At this moment, Ding Zuo and his son arrived to provide support using their multiplication techniques. The Heavenly Path dodged in time, and the Asura Path was shattered by Ding Zuo's fist.

After two rounds of probing, Kakashi basically understood that Pain's ability was to manipulate gravity and repulsion, and that it had a cooldown period of about five seconds.

Knowing this, Kakashi immediately devised a strategy. The strategy was simple: he would launch a feint attack, while Choji and his son would launch a surprise attack.

However, the attack speed was still a bit slow, and the twin-barreled tanks of Choza and his son were knocked away by Shinra Tensei.

[But Kakashi also had a backup plan. The chains held by Choji and his son immobilized Pain, allowing them to unleash a final Lightning Blade attack within the five-second cooldown.]

[What was supposed to be a meticulously planned, deadly strike turned out to be unexpected; the Asura Path wasn't quite dead yet, and instead shielded the Deva Path from the fatal blow. Simultaneously, the cooldown of Shinra Tensei finished, and its powerful repulsive force reduced the surrounding area to ruins. Kakashi was pinned down by the rubble and unable to move.]

[Tiandao was clearly taken aback by the coordinated attack just now: this man's on-the-spot analytical abilities and his strategic planning for the entire battle were terrifying.]

[The Heavenly Dao dared not approach easily again, and fired a nail at Kakashi, completing a long-range sniper kill before confidently retreating.]

[However, even the Heavenly Dao itself hadn't anticipated that its previous attack, Shinra Tensei, had been somewhat weak; none of the three had died.]

Kakashi used Kamui to move the nails, and then had Choji inform Tsunade of the information.

At that moment, the Asura Path, clinging to its last breath, launched a missile. Just as it was about to catch up with Choji, Kakashi used his remaining chakra to forcefully activate Kamui, transferring the missile to another dimension.

Choji was saved, but Kakashi died from exhaustion of chakra.

"No, Kakashi just sacrificed himself like that?"

"Didn't the light screen say Kakashi was the Sixth Hokage? Why did he suddenly disappear?"

Earlier, when he saw Tendo launch nails at Kakashi, the Fourth Hokage Minato was very nervous.

The next second, after seeing that Kakashi and Choza were still alive, he relaxed.

As it turned out, the video on the screen was playing a trick on him. After saving Choji, Kakashi died, and in a rather frustrating way, he died from exhaustion of chakra.

"With Kakashi dead, does Konoha still have any ninja capable of stopping Pain?"

He knew that the future Fifth Hokage of Konoha would be Lady Tsunade.

Tsunade is one of the legendary Sannin, on par with her master.

However, Tsunade's main abilities lie in medical ninjutsu, while her attacks rely entirely on superhuman strength.

It's not that Super Strength is ineffective, but compared to other Naruto characters, Super Strength's attack methods are too monotonous and easily countered.

In any case, the Fourth Hokage, Minato, was not optimistic about the battle between Tsunade and Pain.

"Speaking of which, I've felt something's off since earlier. The Six Paths of Pain—the Deva Path, the Asura Path—these don't seem like names a normal person would choose. Plus, with that shared vision, why do I feel like the Six Paths of Pain are just puppets?"

When watching Kakashi fight against the Deva Path and the Asura Path, the Fourth Hokage, Minato, felt something was off.

Both the Deva Path and the Asura Path possess the Rinnegan, so there's no reason for the difference between them to be so great.

If it were one's own ability, that would be one thing, but as the light screen mentioned earlier, it was an ability attached to the Rinnegan.

If the Heavenly Path and the Asura Path are real people, then this is somewhat illogical.

But if they are puppets, then that makes perfect sense.

"So, behind the Six Paths of Pain, there's a mastermind controlling these six puppets?"

"Hopefully, the light screen will expose him later. This person is simply a cancer that threatens the peace of the ninja world."

[Judging from Kakashi's use of Kamui to transfer the nails, he wanted to live, but he valued the lives of his comrades even more, especially the young talents of Konoha. This is precisely the quality promoted by the Will of Fire, and it also destined Kakashi to be qualified to become Hokage.]

Upon learning of Kakashi's death, Tsunade bit her lip and smashed a pillar in the Konoha office with her fist, using her superhuman strength to vent her grief.

If Jiraiya was Tsunade's true love, then Kakashi was her strongest support after she became Hokage.

Kakashi's death also meant that Konoha's last line of defense had been breached.

[The deceased Kakashi arrived at the crossroads of life and death, and all the bonds he had formed with him resurfaced before his eyes: Obito, Rin, Minato-sensei, and deepest within, he even saw his father, Sakumo.]

After a heart-to-heart talk between father and son, Kakashi resolved his inner conflict. Just as he was about to leave with his father, a green light grabbed him.

[It turns out that Naruto from the real world defeated Pain, used his talk-no-jutsu to persuade Nagato, and then used the Rinnegan's eye technique, Rinne Innate, to revive everyone who died in the battle.]

When Kakashi opened his eyes again, he was shocked but disregarded his physical discomfort and found Naruto as quickly as possible.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

When Naruto was so exhausted he almost fainted, a broad shoulder appeared in front of him.

Kakashi said gently, "You've gotten heavier."

"So, the person behind the Six Paths of Pain is called Nagato?"

The Fourth Minato muttered Nagato's name, only to realize that he had never heard of him before.

It doesn't matter. Starting tomorrow, he will send out all the ninjas he can to search for this person named Nagato in the ninja world.

If he doesn't find it, all will be well; but once he does, he will nip the danger in the bud.

After learning the name Nagato, the Fourth Minato was less anxious.

He stared intently at Naruto on the screen, a happy smile creeping onto his face.

"Naruto Uzumaki. Hehe, as expected of my son."

"Tsk, Nagato is such a waste. He actually used Rinne Rebirth to revive everyone who died in Konoha. Then why did he even go to Konoha? Was he just there to be a stepping stone for our protagonist?"

Second generation timeline.

Madara Rokudo was very dissatisfied with Nagato's fate.

If you can't beat them, just run away, right?

Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Even someone as powerful as Madara Uchiha could only fight when he was in a good position during the Warring States period, and run away when he couldn't win.

Not running away isn't impossible, you could use ninjutsu to take the opponent down with you, but what's the point of sacrificing yourself to revive someone else?

In his view, Nagato's behavior was utterly ridiculous.

Seeing how much Madara looked down on Nagato, Tobirama retorted, "No matter how ridiculous Nagato is, isn't he still the one you chose?"

"To be more precise, it was the person I chose when I was dying, not the person I chose now. These are two different concepts. Furthermore, even if he is the person I chose, it doesn't necessarily mean that he is that outstanding. It's most likely the only choice I had out of necessity."
