Chapter 116: Ryujiro vs. Pain
At this moment, Konoha was in chaos, smoke filling the air everywhere.
Hinata, who had just rushed back, was also stunned by the scene before her.
What on earth was going on? Why was the village under attack again?
Where did these summoning beasts come from?
Seeing the villagers fleeing in terror with their children, Hinata's beautiful eyes flashed with anger.
At this time, an old woman who was evacuating with her granddaughter tripped in the chaotic crowd and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Hinata quickly rushed over to prevent anyone from stepping on the old woman.
Hinata helped the old woman up and asked with concern, "Granny, are you alright?"
The old woman gratefully held Hinata's hand. "Thank you, child."
"Granddaughter, let's go quickly."
After thanking Hinata, the old woman once again took her granddaughter's hand and ran towards the safe house.
"Ryujiro-kun, I'm going to help them."
"Okay."
"Be careful."
Ryujiro nodded and cautioned her.
Hinata smiled and nodded, helping other ninjas to evacuate the crowd.
Ryujiro looked at the few resurrected summoning beasts and wasn't too surprised; the Rinnegan's ability could revive them.
However, he hadn't expected Nagato to invade Konoha at this moment.
Was it because of Danzo?
A smile appeared at the corner of Ryujiro's mouth.
Meanwhile, Obito was entangled with Danzo.
His goal was not to kill Danzo but merely to stall him, and he had succeeded in that aim.
Danzo had no way to deal with Obito's troublesome abilities.
Every attack of his passed right through Obito's body.
"Damn it, what kind of strange ability is this?"
Danzo's face was as dark as ink.
Every attack of his passed right through Obito's body.
This troublesome ability was impossible to deal with.
More importantly, the commotion outside Konoha was growing louder, and even the base of the Root was shaking constantly.
If this continued, Konoha might be destroyed because of him.
If Konoha suffered heavy losses because of this, he would be the village's criminal.
"Danzo, someone like you must hate being manipulated," said Obito beneath his mask with a mocking smile.
Danzo glared at Obito, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Being manipulated by others was the most foolish thing he had ever done.
....
At the same time, in the center of Konoha, a person with long orange hair coldly asked after defeating a Konoha Jonin and holding his head:
"Where is Uzumaki Naruto?"
The Jonin's eyes were filled with fear, and he didn't know where Naruto was.
Without getting any useful information, Pain directly extracted the Jonin's soul.
The Jonin's lifeless body was discarded like garbage.
Kakuzu and Hidan had no news yet, indicating that Konoha had hidden the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki well.
The ninjas outside Konoha seemed to know they were going to invade.
Had someone informed Konoha?
There was only one person who could have passed on the information, and that was Itachi from the Akatsuki.
Nagato had long suspected that Itachi had a hidden agenda for joining the Akatsuki.
But since he hadn't shown any unusual behavior and didn't try to bring Akatsuki in danger, Nagato had temporarily put him aside.
He hoped the capture of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would proceed smoothly, and he could deal with Itachi later.
The other five Paths of Pains were rampaging through Konoha, and ordinary Jonin were no match for them.
In a ruined area, Kakashi was panting heavily, his chakra had almost been exhausted.
Pain's strength was overwhelming, and if this continued, he might lose his life.
"Copy Ninja Kakashi, your reputation is well-deserved."
"Believe me, Konoha will know pain from losing a ninja like you," Pain said with a cold voice.
His gaze towards Kakashi was as if he were looking at a dead man.
Moreover, Kakashi's opponent was not just Deva Path, but also Asura Path.
The troublesome missiles were one of the reasons for Kakashi's headache.
Where was the reinforcements?
Kakashi gritted his teeth, barely holding on. If this continued, even he wouldn't be able to hold out.
Universal Pull
What!
Kakashi's eyes contracted as a terrible force pulled him towards Deva Path, and Kakashi had no way to stop himself.
"Know the pain."
"Feel the pain."
Deva Path coldly said, a black rod appearing in his hand.
Just as Pain aimed to stab Kakashi in the abdomen, a dazzling lightning bolt roared like a thunder dragon.
Deva Path's expression changed dramatically, dodging the lightning strike.
At the same time, he looked incredulously at the familiar man before him.
The fallen Kakashi looked at the figure in surprise and shouted.
"Ryujiro!"
"Kakashi, leave this to me. Go and help the others."
Ryujiro said calmly.
Kakashi knew Ryujiro's strength and understood that with his chakra mostly depleted, he would only be a burden here.
"Be careful. His abilities seem to be attraction and repulsion."
Kakashi reminded Ryujiro and disappeared from his sight.
"Nagato, it seems you haven't learned your lesson."
A mischievous smile appeared on Ryujiro's face.
Deva Path looked at Ryujiro with a grim expression and said gloomily.
"Ryujiro, why are you here?"
"Did Danzo fail, or was this all part of Konoha's plan?"
A mocking smile appeared on Ryujiro's face.
"Did you really think Danzo has the ability to restrain me?"
"How laughable."
"It seems both Danzo and Akatsuki are fools."
In the treehouse, Nagato's face twisted with rage, his entire body trembling with fury.
"Damn it!"
"I am a god!"
Almighty Push!
This time, Almighty Push was different.
The nearby Asura Path collapsed to the ground as the terrifying shockwave swept towards Ryujiro.
Of course, this was just overdrawing the power of Asura Path.
Nagato wasn't foolish enough to exhaust all his power, especially against an opponent like Ryujiro.
Is this all the power he can muster?
It seems he still doesn't fully understand my strength.
Ryujiro calmly drew his Zanpakuto.
The moment he unsheathed it, a sword energy roared forward.
