The Six Paths of Pain's Complete Defeat

"Devour!" Preta Path Pain appeared behind Deva Path Pain and used the ninjutsu devour on the wood on Deva Path Pain's body. However, what the Preta Path Pain couldn't believe was that he couldn't devour Tsunade's Wood Release.

"Hmph, you want to devour it? My Wood Release is no ordinary ninjutsu. It's infused with my effort and dedication. It's not something your Rinnegan's ninjutsu devour can consume. It's perfect against enemy like you— it can kill two birds with one stone."

Tsunade snorted. The fact that they tried to use a technique she used back then to devour her Wood Release was laughable. If successful, the Wood Release of the Senju clan wouldn't be as powerful and mystical. The Wood Release used by Tsunade before she developed Holy Release couldn't be devoured by the Preta Path. And after developing Holy Release, Tsunade's Wood Release became even more extraordinary and impossible to devour.

"Summoning Jutsu: Giant Centipede!" Animal Path Pain summoned a huge centipede that appeared from underground at a critical moment, blocking the way of Deva Path and Preta Path. Unfortunately, this enormous and mighty summoning beast was pierced alive by Tsunade's increasingly terrifying monstrous punch. (The power of Tsunade's monstrous strength punch became stronger as her physical qualities, strength, or even the quality of chakra improved.)

The remaining power was blocked by the Asura Path. However, even so, the three Pains were sent flying hundreds of meters away.

"Trying to catch me, huh?." Tsunade swiftly flipped and kicked Human Path Pain, who was trying to ambush her from behind to extract her soul, sending him flying. Fortunately, he landed beside Naraka Path Pain, and she immediately repaired the broken Human Path Pain.

"Almost forgot you have a healing ability. Let's deal with this Pain first." Tsunade already knew Pain's name from Ryoha. As for the abilities, aside from the Outer Path that she hadn't used, she knew them all, thanks to her battle with Pain back then.

"Shinra Tensei!" The Deva Path Pain, who had flown out, had his cooldown for Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in over. Seeing Tsunade about to deal with the Naraka Path Pain, he immediately pulled him over. If the Naraka Path Pain were to be eliminated, it would be a significant weakening of Pain's overall combat ability, especially when facing Tsunade, who possessed a super explosive strength and strong physical techniques. It was essential to keep the Naraka Path Pain safe.

"Using this move again? But this time, your gravitational force isn't strong enough." Tsunade, seeing that she was about to be pulled by gravity again, immediately used her monstrous punch's spiral impact towards the direction of Deva Path Pain. Of course, the spiral impact mode made Pain suffer, not to mention the much larger spiral impact than the impact mode.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide!" Pain's Six Paths had the five elemental nature changes inherited from Nagato, so each person could use one elemental nature change. Of course, the Deva Path Pain was an exception.

This Deva Path Pain was made using Yahiko's body. Not only was he turned into the strongest Deva Path Pain by Nagato, but also, during the transformation using the Outer Path's ability, he even inherited one of Yahiko's elemental nature changes. He could use one of the elemental nature changes that Yahiko had before him, and even the ninjutsu with the nature change that Yahiko had.

However, the hard Earth Flow Divide was shattered by Tsunade's monstrous punch's spiral impact that was like a whirlwind. Nevertheless, it gave the Deva Path Pain time to evade and also provided time for the Naraka Path to repair the Human Path Pain and let the Naraka Path withdraw and hide.

"Hiding from me? It's practically seeking death. Let me find you all at once and deal with you. Wood Release: Smothering Bind!" Tsunade saw that the Naraka Path Pain was hiding, which was a bit amusing. Black Zetsu had such a powerful hiding ability with the cells of Hashirama. Even more so for Tsunade, who had developed a Holy Release surpassing Wood Release.

If there were trees around, like when Tsunade created a forest, the range of the Smothering Bind could reach up to five kilometers. However, at the moment, everything within a five-kilometer radius had been destroyed by the explosion from Deidara's C3 No. 18. There were no trees nearby, and Tsunade had not created any.

Therefore, the range covered by the Smothering Bind was only one kilometer. This technique could sense the life or chakra fluctuations of creatures within a radius of one kilometer and bind the desired targets according to Tsunade's needs. Pain's Six Paths were all dead and had no life fluctuations, but they had chakra. Unfortunately, the hiding Naraka Path Pain was found with this technique, and it was immediately bound by the chain-shaped wood, revealing its true form.

The same goes for the other five Paths of Pain. All six Paths of Pain were bound, leaving all the Konoha ninjas around stunned.

Once upon a time, Tsunade was the pride of Konoha. Looking at Tsunade displaying her might, even the legendary Rinnegan wielders were not her match. They should have been delighted that Tsunade had suppressed them so thoroughly. However, they couldn't find joy now because this former pride of Konoha had become the village's enemy.

"Tsunade is too strong now. Not to mention that mysterious and unpredictable Holy Release, even without using Wood Release, the six individuals with the Rinnegan wouldn't be able to match her. It's just that all six of them are so similar. And that person, it's actually Yahiko."

Just now, Jiraiya was thinking about how to break free from the Eternal Abyss. They had tried everything and couldn't find a way out. Now, Shikamaru, the one with the highest intelligence, and Shikaku were trying to figure out a solution. Jiraiya was just checking Ryoha and their fight, hoping to gain a bit more understanding to be of some help during the upcoming battle.

But the more he watched, the more alarmed and chilled he felt. Ryoha and Tsunade were incredibly powerful and terrifying, to the extent that numbers couldn't compensate for. Not to mention Ryoha, who had been treating the battle as a game all along, playing with his opponents. Just Tsunade alone made Jiraiya lose his confidence.

"Yahiko, really? But wasn't the Rinnegan Nagato's? Could it be that he took Nagato's Rinnegan? It's impossible. The three of them had such a good relationship, it's unlikely for them to do something like this. Moreover, Konan is also here, and there's no sign of animosity towards Yahiko. Clearly, Yahiko didn't do such a thing. So, what is really going on?"

Jiraiya's head was about to explode from the headache. Why had there been so many unforeseen events in this year? It was like a great upheaval in the shinobi world, almost a reform.

"Look, Jiraiya-sama, what's that?" Suddenly, Shikamaru exclaimed, startling even the contemplative Jiraiya. He immediately looked up and was astonished.
