Chapter 144 The Prince's Battle Strategy (First Update)

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

As soon as Jiraiya finished speaking, the Six Paths of Pain quickly moved and surrounded him and Hawking.

The human realm, the animal realm, and the hungry ghost realm each sealed off three directions, while the heavenly realm flew into the sky and sealed off the upper sky.

The remaining Hell Path immediately formed hand seals to summon the Yama incarnation of this world, swallowed the Asura Path that Hawking had damaged, chewed it for a while, and then the Asura Path reappeared intact.

"Jiraiya-sensei, I'm afraid I can't let you escape."

The Heavenly Dao looked down at Jiraiya and Hawking, and said with a cold expression.

When Jiraiya saw that the damaged Asura Path had been repaired so easily, and that Pain could fly in the air, his expression changed.

He struggled to his feet, leaning against Hawking, and said in a very soft voice:

"Hawking, don't rush into action. Buy me time, and I'll tell you all the information."

If you are unable to break through in a while, then when you are able to come again tomorrow, tell Tsunade all this information.

Tsunade will teach you the Flying Thunder God Technique as promised!

His body is already severely injured and barely holding on. Even if Hawking were incredibly strong, the chances of him successfully escaping from the cautious Six Paths of Pain would be slim.

But he knew that in less than forty minutes, Hawking's time in this world would come to an end.

Nagato was unaware of this secret, so he could tell Hawking all the information he had obtained. After Hawking left, Naruto would summon the information tomorrow, and then Tsunade would be able to pass it on to him.

With this intelligence, Tsunade was able to initiate the Five Kage Summit and work together to destroy Nagato's plot.

As for himself, he had already prepared for death.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

However, Hawking did not answer after hearing this. Instead, he formed a hand seal and created a shadow clone, which then carried Jiraiya into the air.

"Jiraiya, you should go back and report the information to Tsunade yourself."

He came to save Jiraiya not just for the Flying Thunder God Technique, but more importantly for Nagato's Rinnegan.

Therefore, it's impossible to follow Jiraiya's suggestion.

He needs to get rid of Jiraiya first, that troublesome guy, before he can go and steal the Rinnegan from Nagato.

"You can't go anywhere without God's permission."

Seeing Hawking's shadow clone carrying Jiraiya into the air, Pain immediately opened his arms:

"All things."

He was about to activate the Universal Pull ninjutsu to pull back Hawking's shadow clone and Jiraiya, but he had to interrupt the ninjutsu halfway through and turn around to face behind him:

"Shinra Tensei!"

Because Hawking himself had actually appeared behind him and raised his hand.

"Twelve eyes do indeed see more clearly."

Hawking, who had been thrown back by Shinra Tensei, steadied himself, smiled, and didn't seem to mind.

The Six Paths of Pain are six puppets created by Nagato using his Rinnegan because his main body was unable to move.

Therefore, during battle, all six puppets are remotely controlled by Nagato, and their coordination is naturally seamless. Furthermore, the six puppets share a common field of vision with their twelve eyes, so there is no visual perspective during battle.

Even the infamous eye roll can't do that.

If it weren't for the twelve eyes watching, his sneak attack could have crippled the Heavenly Dao.

"Spiritual communication!"

Seeing that Hawking's sneak attack interrupted Pain's ninjutsu, Nagato immediately controlled the Animal Path Pain to summon a giant Yata no Tori, which shot towards the shadow clones and Jiraiya who had not yet flown far away like an arrow.

I don't need the Yatagarasu to kill the shadow clones and Jiraiya. As long as it can buy me some time, the other Pains can catch up.

"Be careful, that summoned beast flies extremely fast and can pierce through enemies instantly with its sharp beak. It can also release explosive eggs."

Upon seeing the Yatagarasu attack, Jiraiya immediately informed Hawking's shadow clone about the Yatagarasu.

Gamaken was injured by this summoning beast before.

Therefore, in the battle just now, he had already figured out the information about the Yatagarasu.

In battles between ninjas, unless the skill gap is too large, intelligence becomes extremely important.

Like Hidan, if you don't know his information or his evil god ritual, even a Kage-level powerhouse could be easily killed by his schemes.

But if we knew his information and could fight him in a targeted manner, then even Shikamaru could be buried alive.

Given Jiraiya's strength and combat experience, if he hadn't been completely unaware of Nagato's information about Pain, and if Nagato had known most of his information, he wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.

Even if you can't win, you can still escape.

"Qi Yuan Slash!"

Seeing this, the shadow clone immediately unleashed a Qi Slash, grinning as it waited for the Yata no Tori to arrive.

The Qi Yuan Slash is incredibly sharp; even an enemy ten times stronger than the user would find it difficult to withstand once they are cut.

The downsides are that it's not fast, making it easy to dodge, and it has low energy, making it easy to be absorbed and intercepted.

So he had to wait for the Yatagarasu to get closer.

"The Yatagarasu's beak is strong and sharp; it is not so easily damaged."

The shadow clone's intention was obvious, and Nagato, who was controlling it remotely, saw it at a glance.

But he wasn't worried at all.

The Yatagarasu's greatest strength lies in its sharp beak, and its main attack method is to fly at high speed and pierce its enemies with its beak.

Therefore, the strength and sharpness of its mouth are beyond the reach of ordinary ninjutsu.

Moreover, in his eyes, Hawking was a master of physical combat, so his ninjutsu couldn't be that strong, and he didn't sense any strong energy fluctuations from the white disc.

"How is that possible!"

However, what happened next made his eyes widen in surprise.

Seeing that the Yatagarasu was less than a meter away from the shadow clone and Jiraiya, the shadow clone then unleashed the Ki Slash.

The moment the Qi Yuan Zhan met the Yata no Naga's beak, it was like a knife meeting tofu; without the slightest pause, it directly cleaved the entire Yata no Naga in two, and vanished with a "bang."

Hawking's current combat power is around 350, so an enemy with at least 3500 combat power would absolutely not be able to withstand the attack of the Qi Yuan Slash.

So what is the mere Yatagarasu?

Keep in mind that Naba only has a combat power of 4000, which is enough to easily destroy some weak planetary civilizations.

After dealing with the Yata no Ootori, the shadow clone carried Jiraiya and continued flying towards Konoha.

When Nagato saw that the Yatagarasu had failed, he immediately ordered the Deva Path to stop Hawking's main body, while the other five Paths quickly went after the shadow clones and Jiraiya.

His control over the Six Paths of Pain is limited by distance; if they fly any further, he will lose control and be unable to pursue them.

However, Hawking was not about to let Nagato have his way. He simply ascended to a great height, then lowered his hands, enveloping all six Paths of Pain:

"Prince's Strategy!"
