People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

Gyutaro is facing the Asura Path of Pain alone.

Yokura, Jugo, Suigetsu, and Kaori fight against the Animal Path.

Meanwhile, Kurotsuchi and Deidara are fighting against the Preta Path.

The remaining Iwagakure ninjas and Onoki are fighting against the strongest Pain, the Deva Path.

"Blood Demon Art? Blood Burst!"

Gyutaro's blood erupted like flames all over his body.

This is a Blood Demon Art created by Gyutaro by drawing inspiration from the Lightning Release chakra pattern. It allows him to compress the blood in his body and then unleash it all at once, greatly enhancing his speed and strength.

With a powerful thrust of his legs, Gyutaro charged fiercely toward the Asura Path.

Shura-do turned his arms toward Gyu-taro.

"Five-Finger Missile!"

Shura Path separated his wrist from his arm, pulled out a string of missiles from the cut in his arm, and fired rockets at Gyutaro.

Using his speed, Gyutaro dodged left and right, avoiding the rockets.

All the rockets exploded around Gyutaro, without causing any effective damage to him.

Gyutaro swung his scythe and slashed at the head of the Asura Path.

However, the Asura Path neither dodged nor avoided, and activated the mechanism on its head.

A laser beam was fired at Gyutaro.

Gyutaro, who had already approached the Asura Path, had no time to dodge and was hit by the laser cannon.

Gyutaro's right hand vanished instantly under the laser cannon, and his right chest was pierced through.

Furthermore, Shura-do used his superhuman strength to send Gyutaro flying.

"Blood Demon Art? Flying Blood Scythe!"

Gyutaro instantly recovered from his injuries using his self-healing ability and transformed his blood into razor-thin blades, which he then launched towards the Asura Path.

Shura Path, however, unfolded his mechanical armor, summoning three heads and six arms to block all of Gyutaro's blood-stained blades.

Gyutaro scratched his cheek, unable to understand why this world wasn't based on a power system primarily based on chakra.

How could high-tech weapons like missiles appear?

However, Gyutaro also found the weakness of the Shura Path.

Shurado blocked all of Gyutaro's attacks, which means that Shurado's body is a weak point and cannot be repaired once attacked.

Gyutaro charged toward the Asura Path once again.

A giant saw tooth extended from behind Shura Path, attempting to prevent Gyutaro from getting closer.

However, Gyutaro's increased speed allowed him to easily dodge the serrated attack.

Seeing that Gyutaro was approaching him again, Shurado fired his laser cannon again, attempting to seriously injure Gyutaro.

However, Gyutaro used a large amount of his own blood to shield himself.

The laser cannon of the Asura Path struck the blood, but apart from the scattered blood, Gyutaro was not injured at all.

"Wind Release: Tornado Hurricane!"

As Gyutaro finished his hand seals, a tornado rose from the ground.

Shura Path plunged two of his arms into the ground to stabilize himself, but his remaining four arms were aimed at Gyutaro.

"Strange Arm Rocket!"

Asura Path launched his severed wrist as a weapon, concentrating his chakra at the cut. The wrist, propelled by the small explosion, flew out in a straight line due to the powerful impact, hurtling towards Gyutaro at high speed.

"Blood Demon Art? Crimson Scythe Sweeps Across Hell!"

Amidst the tornado, Gyutaro added a large amount of blood-stained blades, which intertwined with the tornado.

Within the tornado, the Asura's body was constantly being slashed by thin blades of blood.

The Asura Path wants to launch a rocket.

However, it was struck by the blood-stained blade the moment it was launched, causing it to explode on the spot.

The force of the explosion caused the Asura Path to be swept into the tornado.

In an instant, it was cut into pieces.

As Gyutaro used the Blood-Stopping Demon Technique, the tornado dissipated.

The body parts of the Asura Path fell to the ground.

The only one that looks relatively intact is one of the three heads of the Asura Path.

Gyutaro easily killed one of the Six Paths of Pain, the Hell Path.

On the other side, Yekura and the others faced the animal realm.

Jugo, now in his sage form, teams up with Suigetsu to fight the summoning beasts summoned by the Animal Path.

Meanwhile, Yoko and Kaori face the true form of the animal realm.

The moment the animal realm forms hand seals.

Yecang caught the animal's body off guard and used the Scorching Escape Technique to evaporate all the moisture, turning it into a dried corpse.

Kaori used Love Breathing - First Form - First Love's Tremor to unleash a whip-like attack, rapidly slashing and shredding the Animal Path's body.

While the Preta Path can absorb ninjutsu, Deidara's clay bombs are somewhat special; the explosive power of the clay bombs cannot be absorbed as ninjutsu.

In order to avoid causing widespread damage to Iwagakure, Deidara restrained the power of his clay bombs.

With Kurotsuchi's help, Deidara finally found an opportunity and used his self-destructing clone to kill the Preta Path.

At this point, all six realms of Pain—the Hell Realm, the Asura Realm, the Human Realm, the Animal Realm, and the Hungry Ghost Realm—had perished.

Only the strongest Pain, Deva Path Pain, remained.

Chapter 340 Nagato

At this time, Onoki and a group of Iwagakure ninjas are fighting against Pain.

Lying next to Pain was a man wearing a straw hat, a red mask, and red armor.

This man is Han, the Jinchūriki of the Five-Tails.

Several black rods were inserted into Han's body, disrupting the chakra within him and preventing him from using the power of the tailed beasts.

Nagato's target was Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, who had now lost his ability to resist.

However, it was clear that Onoki and the others would not let them leave so easily.

After completing the hand seals, Onoki placed one hand on the ground.

"Earth Escape? Earthquake Core!"

The ground beneath Han trembled, then rose instantly, attempting to pull Han away from Pain.

However, Pain opened his palm and aimed it at Han, who was rising rapidly.

"Universal Guidance!"

A powerful attraction drew Han directly to his side.

Onoki and his group of ninjas charged toward Pain.

However, Pain calmly extended his hands toward them.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Pain used himself as the center to repel everything around him.

Onoki clasped his hands together, creating a transparent cube-shaped barrier between his palms.

"Dust Release: Particle Style: Detachment Technique!"

The transparent cube-shaped barrier expanded instantly, about to envelop Pain's body.

Pain, however, unleashed Shinra Tensei once more, deflecting Onoki's cube-shaped transparent barrier.

The repelled barrier nearly injured their own people.

After dealing with the other Pain members, Gyutaro and the others also came to support Onoki and faced Tendo Pain.

In a secret room outside Iwagakure Village.

The emaciated Nagato said to Konan beside him, "Konan, get ready to receive the Five-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Nagato, are you going to... No! That technique will shorten your life!"

Konan guessed that Nagato wanted to use the Super Shinra Tensei, which would drain his life force, and tried her best to stop him.

"If we don't use that technique now, we won't be able to take away the Five-Tails Jinchuriki!" Nagato's words were full of determination.

Konan continued to persuade Nagato: "We can take the Five-Tails Jinchuriki later; there's no need to go to this extent now!"

"I've made up my mind! I'll make the world feel pain!"

Nagato clasped his hands together, preparing to unleash a ninjutsu.

I advise you not to do that for now!

Inside the secret room, besides Konan and Nagato, a third person's voice suddenly appeared.

Konan quickly threw a paper shuriken towards the direction from which the sound came.

However, the paper shuriken failed to hit its target.

The owner of the voice was Obito, who had come from the Land of Wind.

Nagato looked at Obito: "Weren't you and Madara Uchiha seizing the Roran Dragon Vein in the Land of Wind?"

"Heh, Madara Uchiha has successfully seized the Dragon Vein, and after six years, he has also obtained the Rinnegan, making his strength terrifying."

Konan frowned and asked, "What six years? What Rinnegan? Isn't the Rinnegan in Nagato's body?"

Obito explained, "We traveled back in time through the Dragon Veins, and six years passed. Madara Uchiha manipulated his past self, using the Rinne Rebirth technique to revive himself and steal his past self's Rinnegan..."
