Ch. 96. A brief battle with Pain. [1]

The caravan moved forward without any hurry or delay.

　　While Mizuki was on alert, he was also thinking about countermeasures.

　　What should I do if I meet Jiraiya, what should I do if I meet Uchiha Itachi, whether I can fight him, whether I should fight or flee...

　　In the afternoon, it suddenly started to rain lightly. Looking around, it was all white and the visibility was very poor.

　　Mizuki wore a hooded cloak to keep out the rain.

　　But the humid and sticky air and the muddy road beneath his feet made Mizuki feel a little uncomfortable.

　　He doesn't like to rush on rainy days.

　　The caravan walked on the forest road, except for the sound of wheels, everyone was quiet.

　　Suddenly, the front stopped.

　　The Caravan Leader:

- "Mizuki-San, there's a situation ahead!"

Needless to say, Mizuki had already seen it.

　　There is only one person standing in the way. Wearing a black cloak with red clouds, short orange hedgehog hair, and wearing a forehead protector for the Rain Village missing-ninja.

　　The most noteworthy thing is his eyes, with their distinctive rings.

　　[Rinnegan]!

　　Mizuki never expected that it was not Jiraiya or Uchiha Itachi, but Tendo Pain:

- "Tendo cannot come alone. The Six Paths of Pain are all dispatched at the same time."

- "Also, to control Pain, Nagato must be nearby."

He was really convinced in this.

　　Mizuki:

- "I am not a big shot in the ninja world, does the Akatsuki need to be like this?"

　　Tendo Pain stood in the middle of the road and looked at Mizuki:

- "Konoha's ninja Mizuki, please introduce yourself!"

- "I am the Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and I am a God!"

'Who would doubt it? °~°'

　　The corners of Mizuki's mouth twitched.

　　This style is high enough!

　　It's much better than Orochimaru asking others if they know about immortality when they meet.

Tendo Pain:

- "I know that your strength is not weak, and you are being targeted by high-level officials in Konoha, so I specially invite you to join the Akatsuki today."

- "Together we will create a perfect ninja world that is peaceful, without oppression, and without conspiracy. The unfair treatment you received in Konoha will not happen in the world we create in the future."

　　The corners of Mizuki's mouth twitched.

　　This pie is so beautifully painted, but it's a pity that he doesn't know that he is just a chess piece in the hands of others.

　　His ideal world will never be realized.

　　Mizuki:

- "Sorry, I refuse!"

　　Tendo Pain nodded and said calmly:

- "Then I will defeat you and make you willing to join the Akatsuki."

　　Mizuki immediately said:

- "Wait a minute!"

　　Pain looked at Mizuki and said nothing.

　　Mizuki:

- "I'm happy to accompany you in the fight, but you have to fight over there. These ordinary people shouldn't be affected by the fight between us."

He pointed deep into the jungle.

　　Tendo Pain said:

- "No, they saw my reincarnation eye. In order to prevent the intelligence from being leaked, they all have to die!"

'Someone just talked about world peace and a second later wants to kill everyone present. Truly, the leader of the Village Hidden in the Rain. His behavior is as unpredictable as that's weather. XD'

　　Pain words made Mizuki feel angry:

- "In that case, I'll deal with you first!"

　　Behind the Pain, the [Substitution Technique: Displacement] was used, with the [Rasengan] in his hand, but Tendo Pain was clearly not that easy to deal with:

- "[Shinra Tensei]!"

A powerful repulsive force appeared instantly, with Pain as the center, pushing crazily around.

　　Mizuki:

- "Fuck!"

As he screamed in pain, his body flew backwards, and the [Rasengan] in his hand also dissipated.

　　The caravan was even more overwhelmed by the [Shinra Tensei]. Fortunately, it was not too close, otherwise there would have been casualties.

　　As Mizuki retreated, he felt particularly calm:

- "The cooldown time of Shinra Tensei is 5 seconds, so let's try it again."

　　The next moment, the [Substitution Technique: Displacement] was activated again, and he appeared behind Pain again, continuing to raise the [Rasengan].

　　Tendo Pain:

- "Gotcha!"

He turned around in an instant and grabbed Mizuki's wrist.

　　Mizuki was shocked.

　　The reaction speed of this nerve is really too fast, as if it can predict.

　　Pain grabbed Mizuki's wrist with one hand, and a black stick came out of the palm of his other hand and stabbed Mizuki on the shoulder.

　　This black rod is the product of the [Rinnegan] and involves Yin and Yang release.

　　If the black rod is pierced into the body, the chakra acupuncture points will be blocked and the chakra movement will be disrupted. Even tailed beasts can be restrained by the black rod.

　　Mizuki's expression changed and he shouted:

- "[ Advanced Transformation Technique]!"

With a "bang", Pain turned into a little sheep, and his hands turned into sheep's hooves.

　　Mizuki's grabbed wrist lost its restraint and was immediately freed.

　　After only 0.1 seconds, Pain returned to his original shape, but at this time, Mizuki had already jumped several meters away.

　　Tendo Pain looked at Mizuki and said:

- "The ninjutsu that can transform others made me unable to resist even at that moment. You are not only a strong man, but also a genius in ninjutsu."

　　Mizuki looked at Pain with a solemn expression.

　　His own transformation failed unexpectedly again.

　　First it was Uchiha Itachi, and now it's a Pain. This made Mizuki feel that his strength was still a little bit behind.

　　Although he knows a lot of ninjutsu, his methods are also weird.

　　But when facing these strong men, there is no advantage.

　　It's a bit like Obito fighting the Yondaime.

　　On the surface, Obito seems to have the upper hand, his divine power can be used both offensively and defensively, and he is very invincible, but in the end, he was taught how to behave by Yondaime.

　　Mizuki:

- "I still don't have enough fighting consciousness."

- "Although the transformation technique only lasted 0.1 seconds, I just wanted to retreat."

Although 0.1 second is very short, for experts, it is enough to attack once.

　　Mizuki:

- "If I had taken the opportunity to attack just now, I might have killed Pain."

　　The [Advanced Transformation Technique] allows others to transform, and it is a forced transformation. After the transformation, the enemy's shape changes and cannot attack.

　　Used well, it can be crushed directly.

　　The disadvantage is that the stronger the person, the shorter the duration of the transformation.

　　When used on Naruto before, Naruto could be forced to transform for 5 seconds, but just now, it only allowed Pain to transform for 0.1 seconds.

　　And when used on stronger people, it consumes a lot of energy.

　　In an instant, Mizuki's chakra lost a full 5 Kakashi.

　　It's a pity that Mizuki didn't seize the opportunity to fight back. If you take advantage of that 0.1 second gap to wave the kunai, you will definitely have good results.

　　The fighting consciousness is still too lacking.
