Wearing armor transformed from Susanoo, Uchiha Kakuzan arrived on the battlefield through the spatial markings on Uchiha Shisui's body. He immediately saw the legendary Six Paths of Pain standing around him, subtly surrounding him, which made Uchiha Kakuzan show an expression of interest.
However, he didn't forget the important matter. While keeping an eye on the Six Paths, led by Pain, he asked, "Shisui, how are you? Can you and Itachi hold on?"
Upon hearing Qiushanjun's words, Uchiha Shisui said with some shame, "Clan Chief, I am fine, but it's Itachi who was caught off guard and nearly had his chakra drained by one of the attackers. This has prevented Itachi from using his chakra to activate the spatial seal, and I have to trouble the Clan Chief to come and save him."
Uchiha Itachi lowered his head in shame and said softly, "I'm sorry, clan leader, it was all my carelessness. I'm sorry to trouble you again."
Uchiha Kakuzan understood the reason after hearing Shisui's explanation, and waved to comfort him:
"It's alright. As the head of the Uchiha clan, protecting my clansmen is what I should do."
Then, Uchiha Kakuzan surveyed the surroundings and said...
"It seems you've provoked the leader of Akatsuki. No wonder you're suffering losses. It's alright, watch me take care of them all."
Uchiha Kakuzan had long wanted to experience the power of the Six Paths of Pain. In the original story, Nagato destroyed the vast Hidden Leaf Village with the help of the Six Paths of Pain. If it weren't for Naruto Uzumaki's talk-no-jutsu, countless people in Hidden Leaf Village would have died long ago.
Now that they are outside, no matter how much trouble they cause, it will not affect Konoha Village. In this way, Uchiha Kakuyama can act freely and make a big splash.
Chapter 230 Pain's Six Paths and Wood Clones
Chapter 230 Pain's Six Paths and Wood Clones
Just as Uchiha Kakuzan was about to make a move, Pain, standing in front of him, said in a low voice:
"Who are you?"
Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Pain in front of him with great interest, his eyes becoming even more excited, which at the same time made Pain, who was facing him, feel an even greater danger.
Suppressing his excitement, Uchiha Kakuzan said with a mix of arrogance and exhilaration, "I am Uchiha Kakuzan, the head of the Uchiha clan. Kid, isn't it you who bullied my clansmen like this?"
When Pain heard what Uchiha Kakuyama said, he almost choked. He never expected that the head of the Uchiha clan would be so unreasonable. It was clearly his two clansmen who had infiltrated his Amegakure village and were the ones who had been beaten so badly. He never expected that he would be the one to turn the tables on them.
Just as he was about to speak, Uchiha Kakuzan activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, staring intently at him:
"Oh? I didn't expect you to be a corpse. In that case, your true form should be hiding not far away."
Pain and Konan were immediately startled when they heard what Uchiha Kakuzan said. This was the biggest secret of their Six Paths of Pain, and they never expected that the person in front of them would see through it at a glance.
Uchiha Kakuzan gave Pain a deep look, memorizing his chakra characteristics, then closed his eyes slightly.
"Whirlpool Secret Technique - Kagura's Mind's Eye - Open"
In that instant, the chakra within a radius of tens of kilometers was sensed by Uchiha Kakuyama's mind. Then, with his powerful mental strength, Uchiha Kakuyama quickly locked onto this special chakra.
Then, Uchiha Kakuzan opened his eyes, looked at Pain and Konan who were staring at him in shock, turned his head slightly towards the direction of Amegakure, and said succinctly, "Your main body is in that direction."
Uchiha Kakuzan's tone was not a question, but a statement of certainty.
Pain could wait no longer, because the Uchiha clan patriarch before him had, in such a short time, discovered his greatest trump card and, moreover, detected his true form by sensing his chakra.
It should be noted that since his leg injury, coupled with his excessive use of the Gedo Mazo, his body has become very weak, and he needs to rely on machines to move even if he wants to.
Therefore, he protected his fragile body very carefully. Apart from Konan, no one could get close to him or find him, because he set up many barriers and seals around his body to block the sensing of his chakra.
To his surprise, even with all the measures he had taken, the person in front of him discovered his true form in such a short time.
It seems that even if it means sacrificing the Six Paths of Pain and weakening his main body in a short time, we must keep this person here, otherwise he will never have peace.
Uchiha Kakuzan also sensed Pain's change, turned to look at Pain, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
"Oh? Your demeanor has changed. Looks like I've hit a nerve."
Then, Uchiha Kakuyama surveyed the surroundings and said leisurely:
"However, there are more of you, which is unfair to me."
Then, Uchiha Kakuzan immediately formed a hand seal.
"Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique".
Then, it was as if Uchiha Kakuzan had split apart, and a large number of wooden clones emerged from his body. At first, these clones were all made of wood, but after leaving Uchiha Kakuzan's body, they quickly became exactly the same as Uchiha Kakuzan.
Uchiha Kakuzan didn't do much more, but based on the number of Pain's Six Paths, he multiplied it by five, so that his wood clones could ensure that each of Pain's Six Paths' clones had five of his wood clones taking care of him.
Therefore, Uchiha Kakuzan only created thirty-one wood clones, and one of them had already come to Uchiha Shisui and the other, extending its hand and releasing a ninjutsu.
"Wooden Escape--Wooden Spindle Wall"
He summoned rows of wooden pillars that curved from the ground to form an archway, protecting the two of them.
Immediately afterwards, the wood clone entered through a gap and released a medical ninjutsu on Uchiha Shisui and the other person, healing their injuries.
While this wood clone was using Wood Release, the remaining wood clones also released lightning armor composed of blue lightning chakra, quickly rushing towards the Six Paths of Pain who had already begun their attack.
While Pain and his wood clones were locked in combat, Uchiha Kakuyama's main body silently appeared before the figure with sky-blue hair.
However, Uchiha Kakuzan did not make a move. Instead, he looked at Konan in front of him with interest and said leisurely, "Among those here, you are the only one who truly possesses life. So, will you resist me or surrender?"
When Konan arrived in front of Uchiha Kagama, she was completely stunned. From the terrifying aura emanating from the man in front of her, she knew that the person in question had come directly to find her.
In Xiao Nan's opinion, someone as powerful as Uchiha Kagami would at least take down those gigantic summoning beasts even if he didn't fight against Pain. I'm just a weak woman, why would I trouble someone as powerful as you to personally capture me?
Konan never imagined that Uchiha Kakuyama knew far more about them than they had ever imagined.
In Uchiha Kakuzan's view, the Six Paths of Pain were all corpses that Nagato could discard at any time. Moreover, the Rinnegan in their eyes was fake, and they only possessed some of the power of the Rinnegan at most.
Konan is different. Whether it was Yahiko in the past or Nagato now, Konan is their Achilles' heel. As long as they control Konan, they might even be willing to let Nagato give up his Rinnegan.
However, Uchiha Kakuzan was still itching to try his hand at the Rinnegan, so he wasn't in a hurry to control Konan. Instead, he let his wood clones make contact with the Six Paths of Pain first.
Seeing that Konan was about to explode after hearing his words, Uchiha Kakuyama quickly restrained his imposing manner and said with a smile, "Let's see which side, these clones or my wood clones, will win."
Chapter 231 The Powers of the Six Paths of Pain
Chapter 231 The Powers of Pain's Six Paths
After speaking to Konan, who was cautiously watching him, Uchiha Kakuyama turned his head away and leisurely looked at the battlefield not far away, completely ignoring Konan who was right next to him.
Konan, standing next to Uchiha Kakuzan, felt a sense of relief upon seeing his posture, but also a surge of resentment. However, despite clenching her fists several times and changing her expression several times, she still couldn't bring herself to completely break ties with the man in front of her.
As Konan also knew, despite the formidable reputation of the Six Paths of Pain, they were nothing more than a few corpses. Apart from Yahiko's body, which could not be discarded, the other five could be abandoned. Even if they were damaged by the enemy, it would only take some effort to find a few more suitable corpses.
Having grown up amidst the brutality of war, Xiao Nan had long understood certain truths: when people die, they are dead, and nothing is ever as important as the living.
Konan took a deep breath and finally gave up the idea of attacking Uchiha Kakuyama. She and Kakuyama looked at the battlefield not far away.
At this time, Pain's Six Paths on the battlefield had just made contact with Uchiha Kagami's wood clone, and then the close combat began.
In fact, under these circumstances, Pain's Six Paths are at a disadvantage, because his six clones have different abilities that can complement each other and create a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.
However, neither of them cared about any of this on the battlefield.
Nagato considered himself a god of the ninja world, so how could he care about such trivial matters? In his view, no one in this world was his match except for Madara Uchiha. Even if Madara Uchiha opposed him, he would fight him without mercy.
Uchiha Kakuzan simply wanted to experience the Rinnegan's abilities in advance, even though Nagato could only use the Rinnegan's basic functions and couldn't use the original owner's unique abilities.
However, none of that matters anymore. In this ninja world, unless Madara Uchiha or Hashirama Senju are resurrected, no matter who comes, they will not be able to let him fight to his heart's content.
Even Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, could only slightly pique his interest.
The first ones to come into contact with are the summoned beasts summoned by the Animal Path. These are all large summoned beasts, including Cerberus, crows, crabs, rhinoceroses, bulls, chameleons, and Yatagarasu. These summoned beasts all have black chakra rods on their bodies and also possess the Rinnegan. They are considered to be summoned beasts controlled by the Animal Path.
Uchiha Kagura's wood clones all possessed some of the original's characteristics, including immense strength. Furthermore, under Tsunade's tutelage, they had mastered her powerful techniques. Therefore, the moment they made contact with the summoned beasts, the beasts were at a disadvantage; the crab and the crow were instantly blasted into white smoke and returned to the summoning world.
The rampaging rhinoceros and bull were stopped by the wooden clone's fists and were locked in a fierce struggle.
Seeing that things were not going well, the Yatagarasu immediately turned and flew back into the sky, crying out as it threw some explosive spheres downwards.
The most disgusting one is Cerberus, a spirit beast that splits into two after suffering a fatal injury. No one knows its limit; in this battle, it has already split into six.
The largest and best of them all was the giant, invisible chameleon. It was practically exposed in Uchiha Kakuzan's Mangekyou Sharingan, and was sent back to the Summoning World during a brief encounter with one of his wood clones.
Therefore, in this short encounter, only four summoned beasts remained: the rhinoceros, the bull, the Yatagarasu, and the three-headed dog that had split apart.
One of the wood clones, upon seeing the Yatagarasu haphazardly throwing things in the air, immediately formed hand seals.
Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique
Then, the wooden clone flew towards the Yatagarasu as if it had no weight.
Knowing the power of these wooden clones, the Yatagarasu let out a strange cry when it saw him take flight. It abandoned the battle on the ground, turned its head, and flew upwards. The wooden clone that had used the Light-Heavy Rock Technique chased after it.
The remaining four wooden clones sensed the trouble caused by the rhinoceros and the three-headed dog. They exchanged glances, and three of them took the summoned beasts with them, while the remaining wooden clone chased after the animal path behind the summoned beasts.
The Animal Path, lacking other abilities, saw that the wood clone was targeting him, and that his summoned beasts were unable to arrive in time. He immediately ran towards the nearest being, Pain.
At this moment, Pain's Deva Path was probably the most relaxed of his clones. With him continuously using "Shinra Tensei" and "Bansho Ten'in," his five wood clones were unable to get close to him for the time being.
These five clones were wood clones, the most resilient of all the clones. Even when Pain used Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in on them, it did not cause them any damage.
However, the frequent use of Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in also tested Pain's chakra reserves, so for a time neither Pain nor his five wood clones could defeat the other.
If we're talking about where the commotion is the biggest, then it has to be the Asura Path, which is practically turning into robots.
Having obtained intelligence from the Animal Realm, the Asura Realm already knew the destructive power of these wooden clones. Therefore, as they approached, the Asura Realm activated all its switches, continuously launching missiles and highly explosive weapons at these wooden clones.
These wood clones then used Wood Release to create layers of protective walls on their way to the Asura Path, since they believed these weapons would still cause them some harm.
If we were to say who is in the most dire straits right now, then it would be the remaining hell realm, hungry ghost realm, and human realm.
The Hell Path is a support-type path, capable of summoning Yama, the King of Hell, to revive the other five paths. Its other offensive capabilities are at most equivalent to taijutsu at the Jonin level.
The ability of the Preta Path is to absorb all chakra and ninjutsu. It was the guy who ambushed Uchiha Itachi and almost drained Itachi dry.
However, he had no advantage when facing Uchiha Kakuzan's wood clones, because these wood clones were very strong in taijutsu. If he wanted to absorb their chakra, he believed that they would destroy him in just two or three rounds.
Chapter 232 Xiao Nan's Hope
Chapter 232 Xiao Nan's Hope
The final human path is even more tragic, because he faces only soulless wooden clones. His ability is to read Shi Xiao's memories and extract souls, so he is basically useless against these wooden clones.
Therefore, after learning about the combat strength of these wood clones from the Animal Path, he avoided them and headed towards Pain's Deva Path.
Faced with this situation, the wood clones split into three parts. One part headed towards the Asura Path, another part went to support the three wood clones facing the summoned beast, and the majority of the rest headed towards the convergence of the Heavenly Path, Animal Path, Human Path, Hell Path, and Hungry Ghost Path, forming an opposing force.
Pain hadn't expected that Uchiha Kakuzan's clone would be so troublesome, and that he would be at a disadvantage even without using his ultimate move.
Moreover, this was without Uchiha Kagami's main body making a move, which made Pain realize that things were in trouble.
Then, just as the Animal Path arrived in front of Pain, it suddenly formed hand seals and used its unique summoning technique.
As he pressed his hand to the ground, he summoned the Asura Path and his summoned beasts, who were engaged in battle, directly to his side, thus escaping the battlefield.
At this point, the Six Paths of Pain no longer proclaimed themselves gods, but instead arranged themselves into formations according to their respective abilities.
As the Six Paths of Pain assembled, the wooden clones on the battlefield also arrived. At this point, the roles of offense and defense had reversed, and the thirty wooden clones had surrounded the Six Paths of Pain.
