Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 175 Pain's Complete Defeat

The Susanoo, nearly 100 meters tall, rose from the ground, blocking all the attacks released by the Six Paths of Pain, and then reached out to catch the two Jinchuriki falling from the sky.

He had originally thought that he could watch the coup unfold as a spectator, but Payne's appearance made it impossible for him to remain detached.

"The Fifth Hokage of Konoha... Uchiha Touko." Pain, the Deva Path, hovered in mid-air, facing off against Uchiha Touko, who was inside the head of the hundred-meter-tall Susanoo.

"You terrorists, are you targeting Kirigakure this time?" Uchiha Touko immediately slapped a huge accusation on Pain's head. "And from what you've said, it seems you've also set your sights on Konoha's Nine-Tails?"

"The Tailed Beasts in the hands of you great powers will only bring endless suffering to this world. I collect the Tailed Beasts so that you great powers will also experience the pain of war, and only then will you cherish the hard-won peace," Pain said coldly.

"That sounds nice, but what you're really planning is a terrorist attack, aren't you?" Uchiha Touko said. "Konoha, as a responsible great ninja village in the ninja world, will never sit idly by and watch your conspiracy. Today, all your plans come to an end."

"You great nations always spout high-sounding words, then inflict the pain of war upon us small countries." Nagato, secretly angered by Uchiha Touko's actions, raised his hand, controlling the Heavenly Path.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

A tremendous repulsive force struck Uchiha Touko's Susanoo. The complete Susanoo remained motionless, but several cracks appeared on its surface. Uchiha Touko raised an eyebrow, and Susanoo drew the divine weapon from its waist, Futsu-no-Mitama, and swung it through the air.

With a deafening roar, violent lightning descended from the sky, and the intense light illuminated the Hidden Mist Village as if it were daytime.

Facing the overwhelming might of the heavens, the few remaining Kirigakure ninjas not far away recalled once again the fear that Uchiha Touko had instilled in them during the Third Shinobi World War.

The Thunder at this moment are many times stronger than they were back then.

However, faced with this terrifying lightning that could chill one to the bone at a glance, the Preta Path of Pain simply raised his hand and used his ability to absorb chakra.

The lightning in the sky was guided into his palm and soon dissipated into the air, and the sky returned to calm.

Seeing this, a few Kirigakure ninja who harbored a deep-seated hatred for Uchiha Touko couldn't help but shout, "No matter who you are! Can't you kill this demon?!"

However, the next second, a Konoha ninja's baton struck him directly in the waist, giving him a set of Konoha's unique bone-setting treatment. It was not hard to tell from this technique that this elite Jonin came from the security force.

"Konoha's Lightning Strike? Nothing special." Pain, who was unharmed under the protection of the Preta Path, spoke calmly.

"Is that so?" Uchiha Touko said with a half-smile, "You can absorb chakra, but the power in this naturally formed lightning won't just disappear into thin air."

The next instant, the Hungry Ghost Path Pain, who had almost absorbed all the lightning in the sky, exploded and shattered into pieces.

"So they're puppets." Uchiha Touko coldly observed the scene. "Then what about the others? Are they puppets too?"

Having suffered a setback in their first encounter, and with Uchiha Touko even guessing some clues about his abilities, Nagato's lips twitched as he controlled Pain, saying, "Very well, daring to offend the majesty of a god, I wonder if you are prepared to bear the wrath of a god."

Pain of the Hell Path summoned Yama, who burst forth from the ground and opened his maw, sucking in the scattered parts of the Preta Path. Before long, the Preta Path puppets, through Yama's resurrection technique, stood once again beside Pain of the Deva Path.

"Are there any puppets that can repair puppets?" Uchiha Touko looked around, using his powerful sensory abilities in Sage Mode to search for Nagato's true form. After a while, having found nothing, Uchiha Touko raised an eyebrow slightly. "You've hidden your true form quite well. Well then, I'll play with these troublesome little things of yours for a while. I'm not even sure how strong I am right now. I was just warming up. I hope you, this self-proclaimed god, can give me some fun."

"After all, my Thunder Strike has yet to drink the blood of the gods!"

The Susanoo, standing a hundred meters tall, suddenly vanished, and Uchiha Touko's figure transformed into lightning as he charged toward Pain's Six Paths. His divine robe, embroidered with the image of the Fifth Hokage, fluttered wildly, and the Lightning Bolt at his waist was already unsheathed. The soft murmur of the Lightning Bolt and the thunderous roar in the air formed a death symphony from hell.

The lightning and the light of the Uchiha clan descended from the sky simultaneously, seemingly capable of cleaving through the long night. The Six Paths of Pain scattered to dodge this terrifying attack.

Dirt and debris flew everywhere as Uchiha Touko stepped on the charred remains, six floating figures reflected in his kaleidoscope.

The lightning wrapped around his right hand suddenly surged, and a dragon's roar tore through the solidified air—Lightning Release: Azure Dragon!

Uchiha Touko's body was enveloped in sticky lightning, which transformed into six roaring lightning dragons, each targeting one of the Six Paths of Pain.

"Shinra Tensei!" Faced with this fierce attack, Pain could only raise his hand, intending to force Uchiha Touko back first.

However, before Pain's repulsive field could fully unfold, Dou Guang's figure had already appeared behind the Asura Path. The ninja sword wrapped in lightning chakra sliced ​​through the mechanically modified body, and amidst the exploding sparks, the twelve homing missiles that the Animal Path had loaded before being cut in two suddenly shot out from the back of the Asura Path, which had been split in two.

Uchiha Touko's pupils spun rapidly, and before being locked onto by the missiles, he leaped to the broken wall at a 45-degree angle to the right. At the same time, he opened his mouth wide towards the thunder dragon roaring towards the Asura Path and swallowed all the missiles in one gulp.

An explosion rang out, and the Thunder Dragon, having completed its mission, transformed into arcs of electricity that rained down on the ground. Uchiha Touko's figure flickered within the arcs of electricity, arriving before the Animal Path in the blink of an eye.

With his left hand forming the Yin seal, azure lightning wove an electric net across the ruins, enveloping the summoned beasts from the Animal Path. The summoned beasts were stuck the moment they touched the electric net, and high-voltage currents passed through their bodies. But before they could even let out a cry of pain, the roaring thunder dragon devoured them along with their master.

At that moment, the gigantic maw of the King of Hell rose from the ground, but Uchiha Touko seemed to have anticipated it and retreated seven steps. The giant maw of the Hell Path almost grazed the tip of Uchiha Touko's nose as it shot into the sky, but this attack only stirred the hair on Uchiha Touko's forehead. Then, Uchiha Touko clasped his hands together, and the pitch-black night sky suddenly lit up, revealing the solemn image of Fudo Myoo, faintly visible in the thunderclouds.

"Lightning Release: Immovable King!" The Vajra Pestle descended from the sky and pinned the Yama statue to the spot, before being blasted into rubble by the lightning dragon that arrived later.

"Universal Pull!" Upon seeing this, Nagato could only convert the repulsive force in the force field into an attractive force, trying to pull Uchiha Touko closer. At the same time, the Human Path, who was skilled in close combat, and the Preta Path, which had just been repaired, were on high alert, planning to attack Uchiha Touko after he got close, thus buying time for the Hell Path to repair the two damaged puppets.

The powerful suction began to tug at Uchiha Touko's divine robes, but Uchiha Touko turned around, grinned at Pain, and used the gravity to accelerate forward. His Mangekyou Sharingan, shimmering with golden light, stared at Pain's Rinnegan across the distance, while he twirled his Lightning Blade.

Clang! The sound of metal clashing rang out continuously. In just a few breaths, Uchiha Touko exchanged several blows with the Human Path and Preta Path puppets, who were holding kunai. Each of Uchiha Touko's blows precisely cut the kunai in their hands in two. The standard kunai on the two puppets were no different from tofu in front of Ji Lei.

However, Uchiha Tokō simply cut their kunai in half before sheathing his sword and changing tactics. Uchiha Tokō danced gracefully amidst their attacks, like an old man playing with a child. The kunai on the two puppets were gradually consumed, but they couldn't even touch the hem of Uchiha Tokō's clothes. At the same time, Uchiha Tokō was getting closer and closer to the Heavenly Path.

"You possess the legendary Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths, and you call yourself a god, but can the eyes of a god see through the future?" In the next instant, Uchiha Touko appeared behind Pain. Pain didn't even have time to turn around before he was cut in two by Uchiha Touko.

After the Heavenly Dao collapsed, a sealing technique suddenly enveloped Dou Guang's entire body. The Hungry Ghost Path fearlessly embraced Uchiha Dou Guang and began absorbing his chakra.

Uchiha Touko stood still, letting the Animal Path devour his chakra. However, before long, the Animal Path's body began to turn into a stone statue.

"You can't just absorb other people's chakra, you little glutton." Uchiha Touko exerted a little force, and the petrified arms of the Animal Path that were holding Uchiha Touko's body shattered in response.

Uchiha Touko stretched his body after regaining his freedom, but at that moment, the last Human Path Puppet quietly crept up behind him and stabbed him with a kunai, but Uchiha Touko seemed not to see it.

However, just as the Human Path kunai was about to pierce Uchiha Touko, three roaring lightning dragons swallowed it whole.

After using his wrist guard to perform a Blood Vibration, Uchiha Touko sheathed his Lightning Blade and turned to look at Pain, the Hell Path, who was still struggling to repair the Asura Path puppet that had been destroyed the first time.

"What a pity, these are all just puppets." Uchiha Touko chuckled lightly, slowly walking towards the Hell Path, which was immobilized by the Yama's Reincarnation Technique. "Otherwise, I could have verified one thing: whether gods bleed or not."

Uchiha Touko's unhurried footsteps were particularly noticeable under the cover of night. Nagato, who was staring at him through the Rinnegan in the shadows, trembled slightly as he formed hand seals. Cold sweat had unknowingly covered his forehead on his sunken cheeks.

Uchiha Touko wore a warm smile. The blood mist that had lingered in Kirigakure for years was dispelled by the lightning from the battle. The long-awaited moonlight shone on this land, and the silver patterns on Uchiha Touko's face in Sage Mode shone brightly in the moonlight. At this moment, in Nagato's eyes, Uchiha Touko was more like a god from the heavens.

"My lord, can you tell me if you know Jiraiya?" Uchiha Touko asked softly as he approached the Hell Path.

“Jiraiya…” Nagato, hidden in the shadows, felt a tremor in his heart upon hearing this name.

After all, he had suffered too much in his life, and the only happy time was the time he spent learning ninjutsu from Jiraiya.

"According to the information I have, Jiraiya once taught three children in the Land of Rain. One of them had the Rinnegan, which was only possessed by the legendary Sage of Six Paths. However, the Rinnegan mentioned in the information belongs to a child of the Uzumaki clan. His name seems to be Uzumaki Nagato, right?"

The Hell Path remained silent, focusing solely on repairing the damaged puppet. Meanwhile, he manipulated the Yama statue to collect the remnants of the Heaven Path, Human Path, and Hungry Ghost Path.

However, Uchiha Tokō let the other party make his little moves, and after a while he chuckled and said, "Don't waste your energy. I can dismantle these puppets of yours once, and I can naturally dismantle them a second time."

"You always say that we big countries always inflict the pain of war on you small countries, but don't forget that no one can escape the brunt of war. Under the shadow of war, even big countries suffer."

Uchiha Touko said the same words that Tsunade had said when Konoha was destroyed in the original timeline, but the difference was that Tsunade was powerless against Pain at that time, but Uchiha Touko suppressed him with ease.

Nagato was furious at Uchiha Touko's words, but there was nothing he could do in the current situation.

"There are no happy people in war, but as Hokage, my duty is to ensure that suffering does not fall on Konoha. So, do not try to challenge my bottom line." Uchiha Touko stared at the other's Rinnegan and said, word by word.

The Hell Path remained silent. Uchiha Touko was not annoyed. After crossing the Hell Path, he came to the statue of Yama and gently knocked on the statue, which was doing its best to repair the other five puppets.

Uchiha Touko's back was now exposed to Nagato, whose face was adorned with the five large, gold-plated characters for "Fifth Hokage." Although Nagato could easily reach out and attack him, he hesitated.

The overwhelming power that Uchiha Touko displayed in the battle just now, which made everything seem under his control, even made Nagato, who always considered himself a god, feel a little fear.

"For Jiraiya's sake, you can leave after I fix your puppet," Uchiha Touko said, turning to look at Hell Path.

A look of astonishment appeared on Nagato's face, hidden in the shadows.

"However, you can only use Jiraiya's face once, understand?"
