Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

Extending his right hand and spreading his five fingers, he unleashed an invisible, powerful repulsive force towards Masato.

"Lion - Wave Slash!"

Seeing that Pain had activated his ultimate technique right away, Shindou stopped talking and grabbed the new Uchiha Daibo sword, unleashing a burst of sword energy.

"boom!"

The powerful repulsive force collided with the sword energy, creating a violent explosion in the air.

"The teacher is fighting the enemy, let's join in!"

A group of Jonin watched the battle from the rooftop of the Kazekage Tower, acting as cheerleaders. Conan's father, on the other hand, was so excited that his body started glowing green.

"...They're in the sky, how do we get up there...?"

Maki looked up at the sky helplessly. Are all the powerful warriors these days really this awesome? The ground isn't enough for them anymore, they're fighting in the sky now...

"So what do we do? Isn't it a bit much to just watch like this?"

Conan's father's face also fell. There were very few people in the entire village who could fly, and the Kazekage had to defend from below—didn't that mean the big boss was going to be devoured by the teacher alone?

1112. So many Rinnegan?

"...Let's see how things go first. These six people give me a strange feeling; they're somewhat similar to our puppets. Let's see what the teacher thinks first."

Sitting in her wheelchair, Mei Chuan Neiyi looked thoughtfully at the battle she had been watching and said something.

After working in an office job for so many years, Mei Chuan Neiyi has not worked for nothing. At least he has a huge amount of knowledge in his mind. Although his achievements are not as good as Orochimaru's, he knows more than others. When he saw the six figures confronting his teacher in the sky, he had a very strange feeling. Although the six figures could talk and move, and there were no chakra threads connecting them, he just felt that the six figures were not human.

Although his research on puppets wasn't as deep as that of Handsome Scorpion, it was still much deeper than that of most puppeteers.

“Mei Chuan is right, I also have a feeling that those six figures don’t look human.”

Handsome Sasori's father had already pulled out his replica of the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters. He looked at the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters in front of him, and then at the six figures in the sky confronting his older brother. The feeling of lifelessness was very strong. However, even after studying puppetry for decades, he couldn't figure out how the other party could control the puppets without chakra threads. Even his son, the strongest puppeteer, needed chakra threads to control the puppets.

"Dad, can my great-uncle handle six people at once?"

Karin, already in the safe zone, watched her great-uncle take on six opponents in the sky with great anxiety.

If the massive explosion from that single exchange had been on the ground, it would have wiped out half the village. Although her great-uncle was very strong, he was already old, and the other party had no sportsmanship, ganging up on him with six men.

"...Don't worry, Payne's attacks of this level won't break through the old man's defenses."

Handsome Scorpion rolled his eyes slightly. If the old guy's defense was so easy to break, he would have used the old guy as a puppet long ago...

"The King of Hell's judgment!"

In the sky, a burly puppet with the same round eyes suddenly attacked from behind Shinto, sticking out a tongue even more disgusting than Orochimaru's.

"Damn it! Could it get any more disgusting? How long has it been since I rinsed my mouth..."

Shinto watched as the foul-smelling, green tongue lunged at him, dodging it with a somersault in mid-air. If that thing had licked him, he'd probably need a month of baths, even though the demon Bai lived in their village, which already had plenty of water...

"Spiritualization..."

"Get down here, you son of a bitch!"

"boom!"

Shinto suddenly saw a male and female puppet preparing a summoning jutsu and immediately recognized it as the so-called Animal Path. He rushed towards the new Uchiha Greatsword and smashed the two Animal Paths to pieces with a sweeping attack. These two things were no less destructive to the village than Pain. The Animal Path itself was not a problem, but their summoning jutsu was too overpowered. Not only could the summoned beasts they summoned not be killed, but they could also split. This ability would be a major blow to any village.

Pain is a truly massive weapon of mass destruction, and it's very troublesome to fight against. His powerful repulsive force makes it difficult for Shinto to get close to him, especially in the air where there's no foothold. To counter his powerful repulsive force, one can either use sword energy to clash with him or use the Float-Float Fruit to lighten the force and then control it to transform into a lion's head to counterattack. However, the second method is not very effective and is also troublesome, so a single sword energy is more practical.

Moreover, although he had not studied physics, he knew that repulsive force and attraction belonged to the laws of mechanics. The force generated by the collision of the two repulsive forces was much stronger than the force of his sword energy colliding with the repulsive force. Who knew if it would affect the village below.

So before they could create the Pain Puppet, they should first eliminate the puppets that posed the greatest threat to the village. Then they could slowly work their way up to Pain, letting Itachi and Shark Face take down the One-Tail and Seven-Tail...

"Chakra Devour!"

"Slice the Waves..."

"boom!"

"Idiot, my sword aura never uses chakra, what are you trying to swallow..."

"Asura's Attack!"

"Lion's Might..."

"boom!"

"Hmph! Think you're cool just because you have a lot of weapons! If you're awesome, one big sword is enough..."

"Damn it! Shinra Ten Conquest!"

“Lion's Might..…”

"Universal Guidance!"

"Lion·Senkiriya!"

"..."

With a plan in place, Shinto became too lazy to play house with the Deva Path puppets and decided to take out the other puppets first. He had just knocked out the Preta Path, which could eat chakra, and the Asura Path, which was armed to the teeth. Nagato, who was hanging on his life, couldn't stand it anymore. He put down the Human Path and the Hell Path first and then let the Deva Path Pain fight him.

Damn, how long have we been in Sunagakure? We've already lost four puppets, two of which were from the Animal Path of the second-in-command. If this old guy keeps going, he'll be all alone. I knew Shiki was a good fighter before I came, but I didn't expect him to be so fierce. He was able to split open the Deva Path's ultimate move and seemed to be handling it with ease, obviously without using his full strength.

This gave Nagato a real headache. He wanted to show his true form and fight Shiki, but he held back in the end. After the One-Tail and Seven-Tail, there were still the Nine-Tail and Eight-Tail. And that wasn't even when he was using his true form to unleash his full power. Luckily, he had planned to come earlier, otherwise, he really wouldn't have had a good way to deal with Shiki guarding his home.

Now, the only option is for the Human Path and Hell Path to cooperate with Itachi and Kisame to take down the One-Tailed and Seven-Tailed, while the Deva Path distracts Shiki...

"They're coming down, they're coming down, get ready... Go!"

On the upper floor of the Kazekage Tower, a group of Jonin, who were watching with great excitement, saw two small black dots fall from the sky. It was as if they had seen meat sandwiches falling from the sky. They were all extremely excited. They watched the fight so intensely. If it weren't for the huge difference in their levels and the fact that they couldn't fly, they would have rushed up long ago to help Lord Shinto and his group of angry men beat up the terrorist leader.

Now, the two mini-bosses are about to fall, and they are rubbing their hands together like wolves, staring at their companions. If the enemy doesn't move, they won't move; if the enemy moves, they will be the first to attack.

After all, there are only two bosses, but there are a group of them. How should they be divided?

If you go too late, you won't have the experience...

"...It's not like even Pain couldn't handle Shiki, but...aren't there only one pair of Rinnegan? How come there are several pairs?"

Hiding in the shadows, Kisame watched the battle in the sky and whispered to Itachi Uchiha beside him.

He knew that Shiki was strong, but he also deeply understood how terrifying Pain was. Those were the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths! Yet now he was completely helpless against Shiki and had even had four of them destroyed by Shiki.

But how can there be so many Rinnegan users?

1113. The Sand Village ninja are all a bunch of animals.

"This must be the terrifying power of the Rinnegan. Shiki is tied up with Pain, let's hurry and make our move..."

When asked about Kisame's question, Itachi shook his head. He had only met Pain before, and he was startled by the sudden appearance of so many Rinnegan. However, now was not the time to dwell on that. He needed to capture the One-Tailed and Seven-Tailed creatures as soon as possible before going to fight his younger brother.

His body was on the verge of collapse, and he didn't know how much longer he could hold on. If he didn't leave his younger brother with his last words, then it was all over...

.......

"I mean... can't you change your skill or your name? It's always the same two names, I'm almost falling asleep."

In the sky, after his opponent deflected the incoming repulsive force with a sword aura, he listlessly spoke to Pain, activating his Observation Haki, showing no sign of urgency.

Since both the One-Tailed and Seven-Tailed will be "taken" by the other party anyway, all he needs to do is ensure that one of the One-Tailed and Seven-Tailed remains inside Shuri and Gaara's bodies to preserve their lives.

It's unclear what happened, but Itachi and Kisame have already found Shuri's whereabouts. Actually, Shuri wasn't hiding at all. As the leader of the sealing team, she and Chiyo led the sealing team to set up a barrier from the beginning, so there was no need to search for her. Shuri's conspicuous red hair made it immediately clear that she was a member of the Uzumaki clan, plus she had a Samehada sword with a massive amount of chakra.

Kisame and Itachi Uchiha have already started fighting against Shuri and Chiyo. Shinto originally didn't want Chiyo to get involved, since the old lady was too old, and there were so many young people in Sunagakure. If the old lady were to fight, it would mean that the young people were useless.

However, Chiyo was definitely worried about her granddaughter-in-law's safety. Moreover, the Akatsuki had already infiltrated their Sunagakure, and it was somewhat unreasonable for Chiyo not to show up. Everyone would know that something was fishy going on.

So when Chiyo heard Ebizo's message, she immediately ran to stay with her granddaughter-in-law to ensure her safety. Even if something unexpected happened and the Seven-Tails didn't lose its tail, she had a way to revive her granddaughter-in-law...

Although Chiyo has maintained a good condition over the years, and is a puppeteer who has not suffered any injuries in her youth, she is still in good condition despite her age. Although she is no longer at her peak, she can still control the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters with great power and can at least perform at 80% of her peak level, which is quite good for an old man.

Unfortunately for Chiyo, her opponent was Kisame, a humanoid tailed beast who could both tank and deal damage. Kisame's water-style techniques weren't particularly flashy, but their sheer volume was a major advantage. A single spray could create a small lake, and combined with his Samehada sword, it prevented Chiyo's Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters from getting close to him. The various hidden weapons on the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters were somewhat effective against ordinary people, but they were completely useless against Kisame. Chiyo could only temporarily entangle Kisame with her extensive puppetry experience, but this wouldn't last long. After all, she was getting old, and her energy and stamina were no match for a humanoid tailed beast like Kisame.

On the other hand, the battle between Shuri and Itachi Uchiha was not so complicated. Although Shuri's Uzumaki clan sealing techniques were quite good, she was not a Kazekage grandmaster like Mito Uzumaki. Shuri's various sealing techniques were suppressed from the beginning against Itachi Uchiha's ancestral red giant with its own divine weapon. Even when Shuri summoned the Seven-Tails, it was no use, and she was suppressed even more severely.

The Seven-Tails is a coward by nature; it only dares to be arrogant in front of weaklings, both in public and in private. In reality, it is very afraid of death.

I wonder if the Seven-Tails was beaten up by Madara back then. When it was summoned by Shuri and saw Itachi's red giant, it seemed to recall some unfriendly time. It was even more cowardly than when it saw Masato. Let alone let it fight, it's already commendable that it didn't go back into Shuri's belly and stay put.

As for how long Xiuli can hold on, that's entirely up to fate.

It has to be said that Itachi Uchiha, a giant with a divine weapon, is quite formidable. And this is only because he has awakened the initial Mangekyou Sharingan. If he had the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, even if he wasn't as bad as Madara, he wouldn't be far behind. At least he would be more interesting than the second male lead in the series.

To be honest, the second male lead in the movie doesn't really seem like the reincarnation of the eldest son of the Six Paths Old Man.

Look at Uncle Ban! Both are reincarnations of the eldest son, but the difference is enormous. Uncle Ban is so awesome because of his talent, while the second male lead basically failed every exam...

Compared to the second male lead, Itachi Uchiha seems more like the reincarnation of the eldest son.

Wow... it's just that amazing!

.......

On the other hand, the situation in the human realm and the hell realm was utterly miserable.

The Human Path's ability lies in intelligence gathering. While its combat strength is decent, it's not exceptionally high. The Hell Path's ability leans towards support, and its combat strength is similar to the Human Path's. Even before they landed, a large group of Sand Ninjas were already drooling and waiting to greet them. These Sand Ninjas had clear divisions of labor, and Rasa's arrangements prevented them from fighting each other over not being able to grab the BOSS.

Before the Human Path and Hell Path landed, seeing his underlings being constantly watched and pressured by everyone because of the BOSS allocation issue—even he, the Wind Shadow, was being watched by several pairs of eyes—he realized this wasn't a solution. So he had to step forward and assign targets to his underlings. Since he didn't know the abilities of the two fallen BOSSes and was too lazy to differentiate them, he divided them into two groups: the Puppet Masters would focus on one, and the rest of the non-Puppet Masters would concentrate their fire on the other.

So when the Human Realm and the Hell Realm are still five meters from the ground, they are greeted by all sorts of puppets, hidden weapons, and all sorts of messy ninjutsu.

The signal is also a six-path puppet, and its core driving force is the black rod inside its body. If it were a human, it would have been killed long ago by enduring so many attacks.

"asshole...!"

Nagato, hiding in the shadows, saw the fate of the Human Path and the Hell Path and couldn't help but curse. He didn't expect these Sand Ninja to be such beasts. The two Six Paths puppets were like wolves that had been starving for who knows how long as they landed. They were even more beasts than the Preta Path.

"what happened?"

The wealthy man next to him asked.

"It's nothing. I didn't expect this Golden Lion to be so strong. I just hope Itachi and Kisame can get there quickly."

Nagato's resolve was incredibly weak. When he killed Jiraiya, several of his Six Paths puppets were destroyed. It took him a lot of effort to find suitable corpses to remake them. In order to ensure the success of capturing the tailed beasts and "rescuing" Sasori in Sunagakure, he even created two Animal Path puppets. However, they were destroyed by Shiki at the very beginning. Even the Asura Path and Preta Path were also destroyed. His Deva Path Pain was no match for Shiki.

The only thing that brought him some relief was that Sunagakure hadn't yet discovered Itachi and Kisame's actions...

1114. Is the second male lead the reincarnation of the eldest son?
