You can't just say, "If you recruit me, I'll join." That's too fake and has no value whatsoever in united front work.

Moreover, Hongzhong was also curious about the strength of the Rinnegan's owner.

In short, let's start with the "ranking matches"!

Status is earned through hard work!

"Join?" Hong Zhong raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of playful provocation. "Does that mean you want me to be the boss?"

Pain's face remained frozen, without even a ripple.

This reaction was within his expectations.

If Hongzhong were to agree so readily, he would become suspicious and wary.

Just like Orochimaru before.

Those who begged to join Xiao must have some ulterior motive or other purpose, and this was later proven to be true.

A strong person like Hong Zhong would react normally; he wouldn't easily submit.

After being beaten up, they usually become much more obedient and will also join the Akatsuki organization!

“Mortals! They think they have some power and presumptuously try to overstep the bounds of the gods.”

"Then I'll show you what the power of a god truly is!"

Pain's aura suddenly changed, his cold, purple eyes looking down at the dust like a god in the heavens looking down on ants.

at the same time,

The three Pains beside him shifted their feet slightly, and their formation suddenly changed, instantly forming a "1-2-1" absolute defensive formation, protecting one of the Pains at the back.

Hong Zhong quickly glanced at the four people.

The Way of Heaven resides alone at the forefront.

Ino's hairstyle and Animal Path, along with another disheveled man with long orange hair, Pain, are in the second tier.

Finally, there was also a short orange Payne.

In an instant, Kurenai deduced that the last short-skinned Pain must be the "medical ninja" Hell Path.

So, conversely, is Pain, with his orange hair, the Human Path?

Gee

The rest seem to be all functional components.

"The Heavenly Guidance of All Things!" A cold, indifferent voice rang out.

Pain's right palm opened like a black hole, his five fingers slightly spread!

hum-

An overwhelming, invisible force field instantly formed, and Hong Zhong felt his feet lose their balance. He seemed to be a leaf in the wind, forcibly pulled towards that palm by a force that defied the iron laws of physics.

Faced with this strange and illogical power, others might be completely dumbfounded and then instantly killed, but Hong Zhong is different.

He was extremely familiar with the power of the Rinnegan!

He channeled chakra into his feet, pressing the red center firmly to the ground like tree roots, and began the test.

However, as Pain increases his chakra output...

Snap! Boom—

The ground beneath his feet was completely torn apart and lifted up, and the red center, along with the huge rock slab, was irresistibly pulled toward that terrifying hand like a kite with a broken string.

The distance closed rapidly, and the lines on the palm were clearly visible!

Seeing that they had reached their limit, there were not many opportunities left.

"Now!"

Hongzhong clasped his hands together, and the Noon Seal was instantly formed.

The surging chakra within his body roared into his chest like a volcano!

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

Whoosh—

A sea of ​​orange-red fire, hotter than lava and more turbulent than a tsunami, poured out from its mouth, instantly engulfing the space in front of it.

boom!!!

Pain's pupils constricted, forcing him to interrupt the gravitational pull.

"Shinra Tensei!"

hum-

Centered on him, an invisible repulsive barrier instantly expanded.

That devastating sea of ​​fire, along with the crimson flames that were swept up, bounced back as if it had crashed into an invisible wall of sighs, with an even more violent force!

Firelight illuminated the sky, and a scorching storm swept across the land.

"Bang!" A crisp sound.

Where the rebounding torrent of flames struck, only a section of the substitute wooden stake instantly turned to ashes!

Tap tap tap tap tap—

In his true form, Crimson Center condensed chakra at the soles of his feet, moving and darting around the edge of the wide steel platform like a ghost, circling the four people in the center.

His goal was clear: all the other Pains were just grunts, the most important Pain was the Hell Path!

We must find an opportunity to eliminate the Hell Path; only then will we have a chance of winning, otherwise defeat is inevitable!

With this thought in mind, his hands formed a hand seal that moved like a phantom.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

A molten lava sea of ​​fire, even more terrifying than the previous extinguishing of the great fire, descended instantly. At this moment, the red-haired figure was high up in the building, looking down from above, and this sea of ​​fire surged down, instantly engulfing the four Pains below.

"Shinra Tensei!"

hum-

The area covered by the sea of ​​fire was too large, and this ability could only form a safety shield around the four people. The lava fire within the area was instantly deflected.

But outside of this ninjutsu, there was still a ring of flowing, magma-like liquid fire.

hiss hiss hiss—

The sound of water vapor evaporating could be heard everywhere, and at the same time, the ground and even steel around them melted under the high temperature.

At this moment, even the most arrogant god couldn't help but look up to the one above, his gaze constantly scanning Hong Zhong, who was looking for an opportunity.

"What a powerful fire jutsu!"

At this moment, the animal realm stepped forward.

Clap your hands together.

boom! boom! boom!

Three huge plumes of smoke exploded!

Amidst the billowing smoke, a gigantic rhinoceros, a monstrous bison, and a fortress-sized crab emerged.

The one-horned rhinoceros was closest; it stomped its massive forehooves on the ground to gather momentum, and then charged forward like Mount Tai.

trouble!

Hongzhong quickly formed hand seals again.

"Water Release: Overpressure Water Cannon!"

vomit--

Three water spheres, like cannonballs, were stretched into a long line at high speed, hissing and hissing—

The moment it made contact with the giant rhinoceros, the ultra-high-pressure water cannon sliced ​​through its skin, instantly blasting three large holes through its entire body.

boom--

After a puff of smoke, the giant rhinoceros disappeared.

As for the other two, Hongzhong erupted again and retreated. In a flash, he reached out with his right hand and grabbed a sword hilt.

It was the Kusanagi sword that was thrown earlier!

With the sword in hand, Hong Zhong abruptly stopped, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

This is the moment!

He turned and charged, heading towards the other two giant beasts.

Shila-

A massive, dazzling blade of lightning, over ten meters long and solidified in form, suddenly materialized in his right hand.

It was not released by a magic seal, but rather formed out of thin air.

"cut!"

His body flashed like a thunderbolt.

Swish!

A chilling bolt of lightning flashed, tearing through space!

This strike cleaved the giant bull diagonally, breaking off its horns and splitting its massive, mountain-like body in two.

The colossal beast was still wailing in the collapsing smoke, and the red flames continued unabated.

Clang——

Immediately following, similar to the previous lightning bolt that shot down the bird, another blinding bolt of lightning shot out like a meteor.

Click!

The lightning bolt pierced precisely through the center of the crab's thick carapace.

boom--
