Chapter 369 Jiraiya Regrets, the Pressure from Li Yaotian's Pain

"This is bad!"

"How did its power suddenly become so strong!"

Kakashi struggled to his feet, his hands barely touching the broken pebbles before a wave of weakness washed over him, and he slumped back down.

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Hearing the commotion, Choji Akimichi and his father came closer. Upon seeing Kakashi, Choji quickly came over and put his arm around Kakashi's shoulder.

"Weren't they said they were all subdued?"

"What happened?"

Choji's father, Choza, frowned as he looked at Pain, the Deva Path, standing in the void amidst the smoke and dust.

They had previously received news that all six paths of Pain had been subdued, so how did he suddenly come back to life?

"Be careful, the opponent is very strong now!"

Kakashi solemnly reminded him, he also didn't understand why the other party seemed dead a moment ago, but now suddenly came back to life.

But this Payne is undoubtedly more troublesome than the one before.

It was as if the other party, having achieved their goal, had no more scruples and began to unleash their immense power.

When Pain was resurrected.

The other six clones were also revived one by one after a flash of white and purple lightning.

call out!

Pain appeared in front of Kakashi in a flash, his speed astonishing Kakashi, a speed Pain had never displayed before.

"Multiply Technique!"

Choji unleashed a powerful right punch, but Choji grabbed Kakashi and jumped backward.

Pain reached out and focused his gaze, his black rod piercing directly into the massive fist that Choza was unleashing.

Pfft!

A sharp black rod shot out from Choza's shoulder, and his huge fist stopped in Pain's palm.

"Ugh...it's so hard!"

Ding let out a muffled groan; Pain's black rod was too hard, piercing right through his entire shoulder.

"dad!!"

"Get out of the way!"

Choji, who turned around and saw this scene, shouted a warning to his father to get out of the way quickly, but his father seemed to have lost control of his body.

"Oh no! Put me down, Choji!"

Kakashi's expression changed. He had been attacked by that black rod before and knew that it was no ordinary weapon. It seemed to be a unique ability of the Rinnegan, possessing the ability to seal chakra.

However, the previous sealing effect was not strong.

However, judging from Choji's father Choza's current state, the chakra sealing effect of the black rods must have been strengthened.

Indeed, the black rods not only seal chakra, but also imprison the body.

Previously, Pain was controlled from a distance by Nagato, and the sealing and restraining effect of the black rods was a bit weak, which allowed Kakashi to break free.

Now, not only is Li Yao in control, but his shadow clone, transformed into a spirit, is also personally controlling him, leveraging the chakra control of Li Yao's shadow clone.

Black Rod's sealing and imprisoning abilities are so powerful that even the Nine-Tails would be no match for Choza.

At this moment, Dingza also heard Eryi's shout, but he was already powerless to control himself, as his chakra and body were imprisoned and sealed.

Pain turned to look at Jiraiya in the interstitial space beside him, smiled slightly, and then conjured another black rod in his left hand, aiming it at Choza's head.

"No!!!"

In the mezzanine, Jiraiya understood Pain's smile and screamed as he lunged forward.

Stab it!

In the distance, Kakashi condensed a Lightning Release: Lightning Bird and flew at top speed, aiming directly at Pain's face.

Whoosh!

The Thunderbirds were scattered by the repulsive force in front of Pain.

Pfft!

The black rod passed through Choza Akimichi's forehead and shot out from behind it.

Before dying, Akimichi Choza glanced at his son Choji out of the corner of his eye.

"Run!"

Choji understood the look in his father's eyes, but witnessing his father being stabbed to death filled him with rage and madness, and he charged towards Pain without regard for anything else.

"don't want!"

Inside the mezzanine, Jiraiya screamed wildly. He regretted it now; he hadn't expected Li Yao's so-called substitution to be like this.

He has too many doubts?

The Rinnegan is clearly with Nagato's main body, so why can this man control Pain?

No, it's not just Pain.

The other six Paths of Pain that Jiraiya saw were also resurrected.

What exactly happened?

Why can the other party not only control the Six Paths of Pain but also use their ninjutsu? Isn't this an ability that only the Rinnegan can use?

Too much misunderstanding filled Jiraiya's heart.

But looking at the dead Choza, and thinking about what might happen next, Jiraiya regretted it.

But... it was too late!

Even though more than a dozen Konoha ninjas unleashed various ninjutsu and shuriken attacks on Pain, it was already too late.

Pain held his sword horizontally in front of him, then swung it forward.

Teng!

Like a circular blade spreading outwards from Pain, the speed was so fast that the entire world seemed to freeze in time.

hiss!

A line of blood appeared on Ding's chest, and his upper and lower body began to shift, with his upper body moving forward and his lower body moving backward.

All the ninjas on the same plane around them, without exception, had their bodies sliced ​​in two by invisible blades, some from the waist, some from the neck. Some were luckier, severed from the forehead or the groin.

It was severed at the forehead, and the person died without feeling any pain.

Being severed at the groin is very painful, but at least there's a chance of survival.

Both were very lucky.

However, it was not a fortunate thing for it to spread throughout the entire Leaf Village.

At that moment, everyone in Konoha who was on the same level as Pain, whether people or buildings, was cleaved in two by an invisible blade.

Tear!

The entire wall surrounding Konoha trembled slightly, and a long gap at the bottom extended to the end.

"what!"

"My legs..."

"Teacher Iruka..."

"Ino..."

"No... Konohamaru!!"

After a brief silence, screams suddenly echoed throughout Konoha.

In a corner of Konoha, Ebisu stared at Konohamaru, who had been cut in half at the waist, and screamed in despair, his eyes turning bloodshot as he went completely mad.

In the dilapidated interrogation room, Yamanaka Inoichi, whose thigh was severed, collapsed to the ground. Looking at the head of his daughter Ino rolling in front of him, his face contorted in an instant.

Not only Ino and Konohamaru, but the number of Konoha ninjas and civilians who died in that instant far exceeded the casualties caused by Nagato's attack so far.

There were too many people on the same plane as Pain, at least no less than a thousand, most of whom were ninjas.

Moreover, the injuries caused were so severe that even Tsunade's summoning beast, the slug's, split form was powerless to help.

"this……"

"What exactly happened?"

At the top of the Hokage Building, Tsunade heard the information from the slug: just a moment ago, the entire Hidden Leaf Village seemed... no, not just seemed, but was actually sliced ​​through by an invisible blade.

People and objects on the cutting plane were all cut off.

Slugs can only save those whose thighs and above have not been severed. Those whose thighs and above have been severed either have their intestines spilling out, their hearts severed, or their heads removed, and there is no way to save them.

In just a moment, Konoha suffered heavy casualties.

Tsunade's expression completely lost the composure expected of a Hokage.
