Sage Mode!

Without any hesitation, Lin immediately activated Sage Mode. Even she dared not be careless in the face of the Six Paths of Pain. She raised her fist and threw a punch.

Bang.

The fist was fierce and almost unimpeded, sending the Preta Path Pain flying.

It was quite a coincidence, really. This Preta Path was Pain's primary ability to absorb the opponent's chakra. However, its absorption only worked on ordinary chakra. It had no effect on Sage chakra. So, facing Rin's attacks, it could only passively take the hits.

But the others in this battle were not so lucky.

Kakashi, Mirai, and Sakura were facing the Animal Path. Those enormous summoned beasts were an absolute nuisance to them. Even with their strength, capable of quickly decapitating these beasts and even completely dismembering their bodies, they still couldn't withstand the relentless onslaught.

Shino, Shikamaru, Hinata, and Kiba Inuzuka face the Asura Path. This is also a very troublesome enemy; its body has been modified, giving it various abilities similar to modern weapons. Not only are its ranged attacks extremely powerful, but its close-combat skills are also formidable.

Samui and Yugito faced the Hell Path and the Human Path respectively. With their combined strength, they could put up a fight against Pain, whose abilities were bizarre but whose combat prowess was unremarkable. However, it would only be a fight. Completely destroying these two paths was virtually impossible.

The situation gradually became tense.

However, Kakashi and the others hadn't forgotten that the Pain Path, whose strength was unknown, was observing from the sidelines. According to the information provided by Mugetsu, the Pain Path was the true inheritor of the Rinnegan's power. If he were to make a move, who among them could possibly withstand him?!

Trouble! The real trouble has arrived!

However, just as Kakashi and the others were determined to stop the enemy no matter what, a burst of light suddenly lit up the sky.

Lava, acid mist.

The red and green hues, merging together, swept towards Pain's Six Paths like a torrent.

"It seems you're in for a tough fight. Do you need our help?" Long, light brown hair danced in the wind, and a pale blue dress appeared before them. The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, has arrived!

Chapter 0465 Payne!

Reinforcements!

This was an unexpected reinforcement! Just when Kakashi and the others had made up their minds and were prepared to perish together, it was like a shot of adrenaline injected into their bodies, reversing their downward spiral.

With her dual bloodline limits of Boil Release and Lava Release, coupled with Mugetsu's training and guidance over the years, Mei Terumi's strength is no less than that of those powerful veteran Kage, and may even surpass them.

Moreover, besides Mei Terumi herself, the ninjas under her command from the Land of Water also possess considerable combat strength. For example, Kisame Hoshigaki.

With their help, the Five Paths of Pain, though powerful enough, were quickly defeated. One by one, they were reduced to a large mass of body parts, scattered everywhere.

"Now comes the real trouble." After killing the enemy in front of her, Mei Terumi exhaled a breath of stale air and stared coldly at Pain. "This guy is very strong."

"The Mizukage?" Pain, the Deva Path, seemed unconcerned about the damage to his other five Paths, and said indifferently, "You were indeed a traitor from the very beginning. A lackey of Yuhi Mugetsu."

"Heh, you're probably even less than a lackey." Despite being called a lackey, Mei Terumi remained unperturbed, a slight smile playing on her lips. "You were dragged onto this battlefield to be cannon fodder, and you call yourself a god? Ridiculous!"

“Exactly, exactly.” Future interjected, “Making your face so flashy, is it some kind of performance art? You do look a bit like the ‘Shamate’ aristocrats that Father mentioned.”

"What is 'Shamate'?" Sakura asked curiously.

“A kind of postmodern critique.” Future thought for a moment and said, “Commonly known as non-mainstream. They are mavericks, not bothered by the gaze of reality, and are a very impressive group of people. Hmm, just like the person in front of me.”

"Hmph." With a cold snort, Payne naturally ignored such verbal sparring. He slowly took two steps forward and said, "Foolish mortals, accept divine punishment. Feel my pain!"

"Not good, retreat quickly!" Kakashi's eyes narrowed, and he shouted loudly.

(

At his prompting, everyone present quickly realized what was happening and retreated rapidly in all directions.

>y

The instant they began to move, an incomparably powerful repulsive force suddenly spread out from the center of the arena. The ground cracked, dust flew up, and a shockwave spread wildly.

"Ah!" "What is this?" "Damn it!"

Although Kakashi's warning was timely, and everyone reacted quickly, not everyone could dodge this indiscriminate, wide-range attack.

The ordinary ninjas brought by Mei Terumi, as well as Shino, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shikamaru, were clearly unable to dodge the force field of Shinra Tensei, and their bodies were instantly thrown away.

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!

Thunder Release Chidori Rasengan!

Immortal Technique: Raging Thunderfire!

Lava Release: Thousand Fire Prison

Once they were standing firm, Kakashi and the others glanced at their companions who had been thrown back. Without hesitation, they quickly formed hand seals and launched an attack on Pain.

Lava, lightning, and fire coalesced into a powerful and terrifying energy ball that shot toward Payne.

Rumble.

The earth shook violently, and under this terrifying power, a huge mushroom cloud suddenly formed on the ground where Payne stood, with smoke and dust billowing up.

"Did you take them down?"

"Probably, with that kind of ninjutsu power, it should be..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pain emerged from the smoke and dust, completely unharmed. No, it shouldn't be said that he was completely unharmed... at least, half of the robe covering Pain's body had been burned away, revealing his strong physique. But that was all.

"How is this possible... He's completely unharmed?!" Sakura exclaimed in shock, her face filled with disbelief. She knew that the combined ninjutsu attack had sent shivers down her spine even from behind. Yet Pain, who had faced it head-on, was completely unscathed? How the hell could he still fight?

"Shinra Tensei, a technique that can deflect all power." After a moment of silence, Mei Terumi said, "It seems I underestimated the power of the Rinnegan."

"What should we do? Should we keep fighting him?" Wei Lai exhaled a breath of stale air and said, "I feel like I can't win. Those eyes are just unfair."

“Your father said that there is a five-second interval between each time those eyes use their abilities.” Mei Terumi approached and whispered, “If we can seize this opportunity to attack him, we should be able to effectively damage him.”

"That's true, but how do we time it?" Future complained helplessly. "We need to at least get close first, right?"

"Leave the close-quarters matters to me, 1.7," Hinata suddenly said very seriously.

“No.” Future shook her head and said, “It’s too dangerous.”

Indeed, Hinata's speed allows her to quickly close the distance. But even so, there's still a chance of being instantly killed. The Rinnegan is just too powerful.

"Don't think about that now, it seems he's about to make his move," Kakashi suddenly reminded him.

Sure enough, Payne seemed to be muttering something softly. Then, he raised his hands and slowly clasped them together. With a buzzing sound, a black sphere suddenly appeared in everyone's sight and was tossed into the sky by Payne.

Chapter 0466 The Traitor

“This is…” Samui shuddered, a look of astonishment and surprise on his face.

"Alright, danger!" Yukito immediately shouted a warning, "Quickly, get out of this area!"

"Hmph, you can't escape!" Payne sneered and said, "Feel my pain, you foolish mortals! Planetary Devastation!" With a casual gesture, the black sphere stood in the air.

buzzing.

The small black ball trembled slightly, and as it trembled, an extremely strong suction force suddenly emanated from it.

Rumble, rumble...

The already uneven ground crumbled instantly, as if sliced ​​into pieces of tofu. The fine sand, clods of earth, and even some plants and branches were drawn upwards by the black sphere.

"Damn it!"

28 "I can't hold on any longer!"

"This is ninjutsu? Is this really something a ninja can perform?"

Those weak Kirigakure ninjas, despite running in the opposite direction with all their might, were drawn closer and closer to the gradually forming meteorite by the force of gravity, and their bodies floated in mid-air without them even realizing it.

"Planetary Devastation, the legendary ninjutsu by the Sage of Six Paths to create the moon." Samui seemed quite knowledgeable, explaining as she ran, "Even if this Pain's strength can't compare to the Sage of Six Paths, it's still beyond our ability to resist. Try to get out of this gravitational pull as much as possible. Once we're absorbed, it's truly the end."

"Ugh!" But before she could finish speaking, a heart-wrenching scream rang out. Looking to the side, she saw Ino already airborne, her long hair completely disheveled, looking both desperate and powerless.

"Ino!" Sakura couldn't just stand by and watch her friend fall into trouble, so she reached out and grabbed Ino's wrist.

"Hold on tight!" Suddenly, Mirai reached out and wrapped her arms around Sakura's waist. Mirai slammed her feet into the ground, and with her terrifying power, cracks spread across the surface.

The veins on her hands and temples bulged, and under the powerful pull of the future, they somehow managed to equalize with the suction force of the black sphere. Ino was suspended in mid-air, the strong airflow stinging her cheeks.

"Don't let go!" Future reminded her again. However, struggling against this overwhelming power, her strength was rapidly draining away. She knew she probably couldn't hold on much longer. But even so, she wouldn't abandon her companion.

“That’s enough.” Ino seemed to see through her current state and shook her head. “Let’s stop here.”

"What a joke!" Sakura shouted angrily, "How could we possibly let go here!"

"But..." Ino opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but then she felt a sudden loss of balance. It was as if she had suddenly lost all support, and with a thud, she fell to the ground.

And Mirai and Sakura weren't in much better shape. He had been desperately pulling her hand backward, but the pull suddenly vanished. This inexplicable feeling of weightlessness was like gathering all your strength to throw a punch, only to hit thin air. Under the force of the pull, the two of them rolled backward several times, like gourds on a string.

"What happened?" Yukito, who was about to come and help, was also astonished.

"Look over there!" Kakashi called out, "That thing seems to have disintegrated on its own."

Everyone turned their gaze in that direction. Sure enough, the enormous sphere, resembling a meteorite, was rapidly disintegrating. The soil and gravel covering its surface, like paint that had stood for centuries, were peeling away bit by bit. The core, the black sphere, was gradually revealed to everyone.

Then, even the black sphere, like a deflated balloon, gradually shrank and eventually disappeared into the world.

"What happened?" Samui asked in astonishment, muttering to himself, "Could it be that Pain's chakra is running low? That shouldn't be the case."

of course not!

Mei Terumi thought this to herself, but didn't say a word. She looked at Pain, who seemed to be disturbed by some strange force, his eyes slowly closing, and then he collapsed to the ground with a "thud".

"Internal strife?" Mei Terumi's beautiful brows furrowed, then relaxed again. "No, it must be Master's hidden hand that's taking effect."

While the truth of the matter cannot be summed up in the words "underhanded tactics," it is not far off.

In an underground chamber thousands of meters away from the Hengduan Mountains, Nagato clutched his chest, staring at Konan in disbelief. "Why, why?!"

"That's enough, Nagato." Konan severed the connection between his back and the Gedo Statue, and said softly, "This battle doesn't need to continue."

"You... betrayed us, betrayed Yahiko!" Nagato roared angrily, but his body was so weak that he could barely stand.

“You are the one who betrayed us, Nagato.” Konan sighed and said, “Our ideal is to bring peace to the entire ninja world, not to make it more chaotic. You have gone too far.”

"Heh, heh heh..." Nagato gasped for breath, then fell silent for a moment. "Since, when did it start? You've always been on Yuhi Mugetsu's side?"

“He is my lover.” Xiao Nan chuckled softly, like a pure flower blooming in the cold wind. “He has been for a long time.”
