It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

"Is that an enemy capable of absorbing ninjutsu?" Hiruzen Sarutobi placed his hand on his forehead, shielding his eyes from the glaring sunlight, and looked at the enemy in the sky with a serious expression.

"Lord Hokage!" Fugaku Uchiha arrived with a squad of security personnel and the rest of the ninja clan.

"Why are you here? Have you subdued the other summoned beasts?"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku shook his head at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

“The summoning beasts have all disappeared, and some members of the security force are still searching for the enemy's whereabouts in Konoha with the Hyuga clan, so I brought my men here to support you first.”

"They've all disappeared? What are they up to?" Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a bad premonition when he heard the information reported by Fugaku.

"How many flights of stairs do you have to carry a bag of rice up..."

Hearing the echoes that emanated from the sky through the expansion of chakra, everyone present turned their gaze to the sky.

"What it is?"

"I can't see clearly, what's that in the sky?"

Snapped!

One of the ninjas from the Sensory Squad sensed the massive chakra reaction emanating from above Konoha and, in a panic, sat down on the ground.

"This power... how could it be?"

Pain, flying in the sky, spread his arms wide, his Rinnegan's disdainful gaze sweeping over the entire Hidden Leaf Village. His chakra was also soaring dramatically. Nagato, disguised as a tree dozens of miles away from the Hidden Leaf Village, trembled all over, and blood trickled from his nose.

No, this amount of chakra isn't enough... It's far from sufficient to severely damage Konoha...

"How many flights of stairs do I have to carry a bag of rice up? How many flights of stairs do I have to carry a bag of rice up? How much rice is in a bag? I have to wash a bag of rice. It's all covered in mud. Who would give you a bag of rice? It's so spicy!"

Pain was in the sky, his Rinnegan emitting a dark purple light as he released the chakra he had accumulated within him.

At this moment, the sky seemed to have turned into a white expanse, and countless ninjas couldn't help but cover their eyes with their hands to shield themselves from the dazzling light. The Super Shinra Tensei that was being unleashed was like an ever-expanding central circle, bursting out with Pain at its center.

In that instant, countless prosperous buildings were pushed into piles of crushed ruins that surged outwards.

Even ninjas felt a deep sense of powerlessness in the face of this power, and were pushed away by the flying debris and mudslide.

Sasuke, who had just run out of Konoha Village, stared blankly at the scene of Konoha being flattened in an instant and the earth rumbling incessantly. His eyes stung.

Chapter 242, You Can't Do Anything

"Nagato, you're being too reckless." Inside the tree, Konan, a clone resembling a Reincarnation Jutsu, said worriedly, looking at Nagato's panting appearance.

"No, this... these people from great powers will only understand this so-called peace when they truly understand the pain! And our goal... isn't it to crush Konoha? Cough cough cough!" Nagato spat out a mouthful of blood, and Konan rushed over.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Nagato gritted his teeth as he looked at the Konoha ruins, which had been razed to the ground but still showed signs of chakra activity, through Pain's perspective.

So many ninjas survived a Super Shinra Tensei attack; no wonder it's a great ninja village.

……

click!

He raised his hand and threw away the rubble that was pressing down on him. Hiruzen Sarutobi crawled out of the pile of dirt, then glanced at the surrounding ruins. The expression on his turbid old face was quite interesting.

Those despicable invaders have destroyed Konoha to this state. If Konoha had disappeared during this period, how could they possibly face the Hokage of the past in the Pure Land?

As the instigator of the destruction of Konoha, Pain fell from the sky.

Because of the excessive chakra consumption, it is estimated that he will not be able to use Shinra Tensei for some time.

The bomb bird flying in the sky swooped down from the sky, and the Animal Path jumped down to the ground. Then, it summoned the other four Pains to protect the Deva Path.

Pain, the Six Paths of Pain, reporting for duty!

……

"Wow, is this the ability to repair world lines?" Zhixue sighed as she looked through binoculars at the now razed Konoha. She had Sasuke firmly tied to the tree with wire.

"Sister Zhixue, let me go! I'm going to fight the enemy to the death!" Erzhuzi, who was tied to a tree, opened his scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan eyes and shook his body angrily as he spoke.

"As for you, forget it. The enemy has the power to destroy Konoha. With your strength, going up there would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Without sufficient strength, you cannot protect what you cherish. You will understand when you grow up." The shadow clone put away the binoculars and sighed.

"Strength? Three tomoe are still not enough?" Although Sasuke was still worried about the safety of his parents and Itachi, he gritted his teeth after hearing Shiseido's words.

I am indeed too weak. I don't even have the right to join the fight in this situation!

Kabuto, who was observing the two nearby, was also shocked by the devastation of Konoha Village. He was even more astonished and surprised to see that nothing was left of Konoha.

Who on earth could have turned Konoha into this state so quickly? It seems we shouldn't linger here; we should act quickly.

Looking at Zhixue in the distance, Kabuto pulled out a burlap sack from behind his back, then slammed his hands together on the ground. But even with just the casting of a ninjutsu, the shadow clone sensed something was amiss.

Hmm, even if there were any small animals nearby, they should have been scared away by that commotion just now, right?

Looking towards where Kabuto was, Shiyuki also stood up from the wooden stake and then pulled out a kunai from where her leg rings were tied.

Swish!

A bright white chakra blade emerged from the ground, and the shadow clones joined together with kunai.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" After flipping in the air and forming three hand seals, the shadow clone spewed out a burst of flame that incinerated the earth clone in front of it.

"Sister Zhixue, watch out behind you!" Erzhuzi shouted hurriedly as he saw the figure attacking from behind Zhixue.

Upon hearing the warning, the shadow clone turned around and saw a ferocious water dragon reflected in its scarlet pupils.

Swish!

Seeing Shiyuki lying on the ground, soaked to the bone from the water dragon bullet, Kabuto Yakushi lowered his hand seals and gave Sasuke, who was tied to a tree and powerless, a mocking smile.

You can't do anything.

Kabuto, seeing Shiki unconscious from the water dragon bullet in the distance, also approached step by step with a sack in his hand.

"Hey, you're not allowed to hurt her!" As Yakushi Kabuto approached, even though Erzhuzi struggled with his body, he couldn't break free from the steel rope's restraints.

Seeing that Erzhuzi's eyes were bloodshot, Kabuto Yakushi laughed and said, "Alright, you two little kittens, calm down. Although you can awaken the three tomoe at this time, which shows that you have good talent, your identity is not suitable for fighting. Compared to you, lying on the ground is more tempting to me."

Kabuto squatted down on the ground, picked up a sack and put it over the shadow clone, but in just a few seconds, Kabuto's pupils shrank as he watched Shiki's small body gradually turn into flowing water.

"What, what's going on??"

Could it be a water clone? Impossible! A water dragon bullet should disperse it with a large amount of water. Could it be a real person? But even a Jonin's body couldn't withstand a ninjutsu, let alone a kid.

"Spiral pills!"

Just as Kabuto was still in shock and doubt, the shadow clone that had already reformed behind her instantly made a dumpling in its hand and hit Kabuto solidly on the back.

boom!

Under the azure light, propelled by the power of the Rasengan, Kabuto Yakushi crashed through several large trees before finally stopping.

"Cough cough!" Getting up from the ground, feeling like his body was about to fall apart, Kabuto Yakushi wiped the blood that kept oozing from his back. At the same time, he looked at the shadow clone of Shiyuki with its three-tomoe eyes in the distance with a shocked gaze, then fired a smoke bomb and quickly fled the place.

"How could this be... This doesn't make sense. Damn it, did I underestimate him? It seems I'm going to disappoint Lord Orochimaru again..." Stumbling through the forest, Kabuto Yakushi reflected on his actions.

Seeing Kabuto flee, the shadow clone didn't give chase. She decided to save her chakra for other things to avoid any unforeseen circumstances later.

Seeing Zhixue easily defeat the hidden enemy, Erzhuzi's face lit up with joy, but then an indescribable sorrow welled up from the bottom of his heart.

Naruto has already left the village to train with Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin. His future growth rate will definitely be much faster than mine now. Can I keep up? This situation, where I can only watch helplessly and can't change anything, is just too frustrating…

After pondering how to become stronger, Erzhuzi finally focused his attention on Zhixue's shadow clone.

Zhi Xueying's clone, feeling her scalp tingling from Erzhuzi's stare: ...

Why do I have this bad feeling?

……

Chapter 243: Instant stop of water

"Five Escapes: The Technique of Large Continuous Bullets!"

The five elemental ninjutsu combined to unleash unprecedented power, but after the smoke cleared, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the six Pain members who were covered by a blue shield and had only suffered minor injuries to their clothes, and his anger surged.

This ability to absorb chakra is such a nuisance.

Because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions, Nagato received a surge of chakra, which slightly eased his physical condition.

The Deva Path emerged from behind the Preta Path, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi with indifferent eyes, and said, "Now, can you understand pain even a little?"

"You sinner who destroyed Konoha, I will personally..." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Pain's contemptuous appearance and formed hand seals, but was quickly pulled down by Shisui who arrived from behind.

Since the enemy has the ability to absorb chakra, a direct ninjutsu attack would probably be ineffective.

As Shisui pulled Hiruzen Sarutobi along, ninjas emerging from the surrounding ruins were filled with shock, anger, and panic at the sight of their surroundings. Meanwhile, elite Konoha jonin like Hayate Gekko and Genma Shiranui stepped forward to organize the surviving ninjas and begin rescue operations.

Konoha's ninjas and ANBU formed small teams and rushed towards Pain's Six Paths, but due to a lack of intelligence, the situation was far from optimistic.

After calming down the trembling Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shisui picked up the Kusanagi Sword and charged towards Pain.

"I will protect Konoha!"

boom!

The top of the Asura Path opened wide, and a beam of blue light shot out, blasting the Konoha squad that was attacking from afar away.

"Summoning Jutsu!" Animal Path bit its finger and slammed the summoning mark on the ground. Pain Path was also preparing to walk into the chameleon's mouth so that the other five Paths could fight and wear down the remaining Konoha ninjas. Once Pain Path recovered, they would defeat them one by one.

Swish!

A figure descended from the sky, kicking the chameleon back into the spiritual space. The sudden change also caused the Hungry Ghost Path to block the Heavenly Path.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a sharp sword light cleaved the Hungry Ghost Path in two.

Pain caught the sharp edge of the Kusanagi sword with both hands and took a few steps back, but the wind-style chakra wrapped around it still made Nagato feel very troubled.

Human Path imbued his hand with chakra and reached out to grab Shisui, but because Nagato was in poor condition, he could only feel a blur before his eyes and was kicked away by a tremendous force before he could react.

"That's Konoha's hero—Uchiha Shisui!"

"We're saved! Haha!"

Using the Body Flicker Technique to dodge the black rods' attack, Shisui formed hand seals in mid-air and unleashed a burst of flame that struck Pain's head above.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

A raging fire dragon crashed into the ground, and the heat wave that hit them made the other ninjas instinctively shield their eyes with their hands.

The bomb bird in the sky screeched, then stretched out its sharp claws and reached for Shisui in mid-air.
