Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

"Thunderous roar...!"

"Shinra Tensei!"

"boom!"

"This is troublesome..."

White Fang was once again blasted to the ground by Pain's powerful repulsive force. Although he was unharmed, he felt utterly helpless looking at the floating Pain puppet. This was the most shameless opponent he had ever encountered in all his years of fighting, even more shameless than Shiki and Onoki.

Although the Golden Lion can fly, you generally won't engage in aerial combat with him when you fight him one-on-one; everyone fights fairly on land.

Although Onoki only relies on his ability to fly and cheat when fighting him one-on-one, Onoki's fighting style is kiting, and his explosive power and jumping ability can still threaten Onoki.

But this puppet leader was practically cheating. Every time he jumped into the air, he was pushed down by a powerful repulsive force. If it weren't for his solid basic skills and his ability to deflect force and maneuver, he would have been crushed into a meat sandwich long ago. He realized that he had no way to get close to the opponent. He had been an assassin since he was a child, and ranged attack skills were his weakness. He was no threat to this puppet leader at all.

All he can do now is use his relatively fast speed and skillful movement to stall his opponent.

"Three-sword style... Sis, hurry! Brother-in-law said we can't let this guy use summoning jutsu!"

While White Fang was bungee jumping with the Deva Path puppet, the Konoha ninjas were already fighting with several other Six Paths puppets.

The moment the Animal Path fell, the siblings Nawaki and Tsunade launched a relentless attack on it, giving it no time to use its summoning jutsu. Just as the Animal Path dodged Tsunade's powerful punch, Nawaki, wielding a Kusanagi sword in each hand and holding a Raijin sword in its mouth, attacked again.

To be honest, although Nawaki's talent is somewhat lacking, and the Three-Sword Style ninjutsu that Senju developed for him is only at the basic level, his stance with three divine weapons is still quite impressive. The key is that the Thunder God Sword can produce special effects and its destructive power is also top-notch. Paired with the Kusanagi Sword in his right hand, which can rival Hiruzen Sarutobi's black stick that can grow bigger and thicker, and the Kusanagi Sword in his left hand, which can channel lightning chakra, he actually makes a decent showing with the Three-Sword Style. At least he moves with great flair, much more impressive than Kakashi next door who leads a group of Jonin to bombard the Asura Path.

"I know, stop talking nonsense, you're a superhuman!"

"boom!"

The attack from Nawaki had just ended, and Tsunade's Super Strength cooldown had returned. Since neither of them were speed-type, the only way to stop the Animal Path from using a summoning jutsu was to bombard it relentlessly. The attacks couldn't stop; even if they didn't hit it, they couldn't give it any time to react. Being siblings from the same parents, although it was their first time fighting together, their chemistry was surprisingly good...

1136. The simp is here!

"Ada, ada, ada!"

On the other side, the situation in the Hungry Ghost Path was not much better. With detailed intelligence and Nara's targeted battle plan, before the Hungry Ghost Path could even fall from the sky, Green-skinned Guy and a group of Jonin skilled in hand-to-hand combat and swordsmanship were staring straight at him. This was not the time to talk about martial ethics. It would not be despised for the many to bully the few in order to protect the country. Besides, the other side was a terrorist.

While the Hungry Ghost Path was still several meters above the ground, Green-skinned Guy charged forward, sparks flying everywhere. A group of skilled melee fighters and swordsmen followed closely behind. Fortunately, the Hungry Ghost Path focused on defense, possessing incredibly strong defensive capabilities. Under the combined attack of Green-skinned Guy and the group of Konoha ninjas skilled in melee and swordsmanship, they were able to hold their own for the time being. The main reason was that Green-skinned Guy dared not open more than the Sixth Gate. After all, this was a village; if the destructive power was too great, his Jonin salary would likely be wasted for the next few decades. Therefore, he could only casually open the Fifth Gate, shouting "Hmph, hah!" to create an atmosphere and inspire his teammates...

"Ahem... Kai, could you please stop yelling like that..."

Among the crowd of celebrities, the famous Konoha consumptive ghost, Hayate Gekko, struck the Preta Path with his sword but was bounced back, and couldn't help but complain.

"Uh-huh!"

The people around nodded in agreement.

All those people fighting against a single puppet, all the hard-earned battlefield atmosphere they'd managed to build up, were completely ruined by that weird scream.

"Ada, ada..."

"..."

Although the Preta Path is unable to absorb chakra due to its super strong defense, it is currently quite stable. Although it occasionally gets kicked or slashed, it doesn't matter to the Preta Path, which has high defense and is not human.

But the other realms—the human realm, the hell realm, and the asura realm—are much worse off.

Previously, Nara's main focus was on assigning the Deva Path (Pain) to White Fang, the Animal Path to Tsunade, and the Preta Path to someone skilled in taijutsu; the remaining three puppets were left to the others to handle as they saw fit...

Therefore, to them, these people who were proficient in ninjutsu or clan secret techniques were the other people that Nara the Big-Head was talking about.

However, there were quite a few other people mentioned by that big-headed Nara, and three puppets didn't seem enough to go around...

While the Human Realm, Hell Realm, and Asura Realm were still navigating the heavens, these other beings had already begun eyeing each other, as if they were fighting over monsters.

Through the Six Paths Puppet's perspective, when Nagato saw the same look in the eyes of the others as his former Sunagakure underlings, he gritted his teeth, almost unable to resist stepping in to do the dirty work himself. However, considering that he hadn't yet found out anything about the Nine-Tails, and that Pain was currently overwhelming White Fang, it wasn't time for him to step in and do the dirty work...

As soon as the Human Path, Hell Path, and Asura Path landed, various Fire Release, Water Release, Earth Release, and Wind Release techniques were unleashed upon the three puppets. The speed was so fast that Kakashi's Lightning Blade hadn't even been drawn before the three puppets were blasted far away...

"That damned bastard!"

The three puppets, dodging various ninjutsu, cursed the attackers as they went. There were simply too many of them, a barrage of ninjutsu and secret techniques, giving them no chance to retaliate. Moreover, these attackers were all Jonin or higher, constantly dodging various ninjutsu and secret techniques since they landed. They'd just dodged a few combinations of fire and wind ninjutsu when a barrage of water and earth ninjutsu followed, and there were even a few shadow puppets waiting for them nearby. This was just too damn difficult...

...

"Boom boom boom!"

"Damn Konoha ninja, die! Summon..."

"not good!"

On the other hand, when it comes to offense, the key is to strike with full force, then weaken, and finally exhaust yourself.

The same applied to the fight. Neither Tsunade nor Nawaki were speed-type fighters, and the Animal Path itself was a competent Double-Flower Red Staff user. Even though the siblings initially coordinated perfectly, catching him off guard, after a prolonged struggle, the Animal Path got used to the rhythm. Using his agile movements, he took advantage of the openings in Nawaki's Three-Sword Style basic attacks, leaping back more than ten meters. As Tsunade charged forward, he formed hand seals and pressed them to the ground...

Although they didn't know what was so special about the Animal Path puppet's summoning technique, it was definitely extraordinary since it had been specially instructed by Shiki. Tsunade and Nawaki, who were not far away, saw the Animal Path press one hand on the ground and a summoning circle had appeared on the ground. Their pupils dilated instantly, and it was too late to rush over and stop it.

However.....

"boom!"

The simp is here!

The whole world is quiet now...

Clang...

"Phew! That was close, I made it in time. Is Tsunade alright?"

Masato casually tossed aside the black stick in his hand, not even glancing at the new version of Animal Path that he had punched to pieces on the ground, and walked over to Tsunade and carefully examined her from all angles.

Well, aside from appearing more imposing due to the strenuous exercise, there are no injuries on his body...

These past few days he's felt like he's forgotten some plot details, but he just can't remember them. He hasn't paid much attention to it, though. Generally speaking, plot details that he can forget are either not part of the main storyline or not important.

However, just to be on the safe side, he recalled what important plot points would be discovered after Itachi Uchiha died. Then he realized that after Itachi Uchiha died, there seemed to be no one left in the Akatsuki organization, so the next thing to happen should be that Nagato, who was on his deathbed, went to Konoha to carry rice upstairs.

Thinking about this, he felt a pang of anxiety. In the original story, Konoha seemed to have suffered more than half of its casualties from Nagato's few bags of rice, even Kakashi died, and Tsunade was seriously injured and on the verge of death while trying to save others. In the end, if it weren't for the savior's persuasive aura, which eventually turned Nagato against the regime, the Five Great Ninja Villages would have become the Four Great Ninja Villages.

Although there is now an additional White Fang, White Fang cannot fly. The True Shinra Tensei, created by Nagato at the cost of his life force, is indeed extremely powerful, and White Fang simply cannot withstand it.

In the original story, the savior was the one who ultimately turned the tide and delivered the final blow. But now that he's the little butterfly in the story, who knows if the plot will still follow the path of aid? Besides, Tsunade is his girl after all. He can't possibly let Tsunade be seriously injured and barely cling to life, can he?

Thinking of all this, Shindou didn't even say goodbye and sped towards Konoha at a speed of over a thousand kilometers per hour. As soon as he arrived in Konoha, he ran into the Animal Path preparing to fight and summon a summoning beast. If the Animal Path were to release the unkillable and splitting monster, Nagato, who was hanging on by his life, wouldn't even have time to come out and carry rice.

Konoha is about to suffer a massive bloodbath...

1137. Konoha's White Fang is indeed exceptionally skilled.

"Phew... Thank goodness you came, I'm exhausted."

Tsunade plopped down on the ground to catch her breath and said.

She used her superhuman strength and Painful Kick repeatedly, and even her great-grandfather's last bit of talent couldn't hold her back. The key issue was that this beast was too damn fast, and she didn't know how to use Flying Thunder God, so catching up with it was extremely difficult.

"Phew... Brother-in-law, stop feeding us dog food! Hurry up and help Brother Shuomao, he can't hold on much longer..."

Nawaki was in an even worse state than Tsunade. His great-grandfather had passed on his last bit of talent to his older sister, and relying solely on half of the Senju clan's genes as a foundation, his mouth was numb from the continuous Three-Sword Style attacks...

.......

"Hehehe! I knew Shiki would definitely come back. Everyone knows Shiki is Tsunade's simp. She hasn't even dealt with White Fang yet, and now Shiki has appeared. Nagato is in trouble now..."

In the distance, Obito and Black Zetsu were watching the battle from the bushes. Although Obito and Black Zetsu did not approve of Nagato rushing to solo Konoha, so they did not come with Kisame to support Nagato, they were still teammates and it was necessary to cheer for them. Besides, the Rinnegan was still in Nagato's body.

Now that they have Uchiha Sasuke, a powerful figure with a high level of skill, even though he's a bit of a chuunibyou (delusional), his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is his own and won't cost him his life. This significantly reduces Nagato's role in their team. In other words, Nagato's life or death is irrelevant; what matters is protecting those Rinnegan eyes—they're the most crucial part of their plan...

When he saw that the Animal Path had been instantly defeated by the Golden Lion once again, White Zetsu gloated as he searched for the little creature, as if Nagato wasn't his teammate.

"...Nagato is such a brainless idiot. White Zetsu, find Nagato's location. The Rinnegan absolutely cannot fall into the hands of Konoha or Shiki."

To be honest, although I don't agree with Nagato's actions, I admire Nagato's courage. If you want to take down Konoha, you should at least bring more people. You didn't come when the Akatsuki was strong and well-equipped. Sasori, Deidara, Kakuzu, Hidan, Kisame, Itachi Uchiha... Itachi Uchiha excluded!

With these guys, even if Shiki came to help, we could still sweep through. But back then, you were so cocky, letting these guys go fight other tailed beasts. Even if you had called Kakuzu and Hidan, I would have joined Kisame's team...

But now that the people of Konoha know about the Six Paths Puppet Master, they still have the audacity to attack Konoha. Their courage is truly unmatched.

Especially when he saw Shiki appear and smash the Animal Path into a dead dog with one punch, Obito was shocked. Although he had never fought Shiki, Shiki's fighting style was too brutal. He originally thought that Tsunade was already brutal enough, but compared with Shiki, she was nothing.

.......

"boom!"

"Shinra Tensei!"

"Raiga!"

"boom!!"

"..."

"Awesome! Lord White Fang is so handsome...!"

"Yeah, Kakashi-sensei is pretty handsome, but I didn't expect White Fang to be even more handsome than Kakashi-sensei..."

"..."

The situation on White Fang's side is indeed not good. The main problem is that the repulsive force controlled by Pain is extremely difficult for White Fang, who cannot fly and has not very good ranged skills. He is constantly being hit by the powerful repulsive force but still stands up. He has been able to do this all thanks to his solid basic skills and his skillful force-dissipating movement.

Meanwhile, the Karami who couldn't get a chance to fight the BOSS from afar and could only watch from a distance had no idea how White Fang was doing. At this moment, all they could see was White Fang's extremely stylish movement. Some of the Karami who had seen Kakashi use the Hatake Sword Technique to deal with the mobs had never seen the legendary White Fang in action. So, in their eyes, Kakashi's Hatake Sword Technique was already very cool. Now, seeing White Fang's even more stylish movement with the Hatake Sword Technique, they realized how impressive it was.

He's still his employer...

"Konoha's White Fang is indeed extraordinary... No wonder he has been on par with the Golden Lion for so many years."

Not only the lowly Karami from Konoha, but even Nagato, who was secretly hanging on with the rich Nan Gou, was full of praise for White Fang. Such extremely stylish movement and ingenious force-dissipating techniques were something that not just anyone could do.

Fighting White Fang and going head-to-head with Shiki are completely different. Shiki's unskilled slashing, although the scene is more impressive, is devoid of any skill and could easily set a bad example for the next generation.

This White Fang is different; he's practically the pinnacle of skill. With his frail body, he's managed to withstand Shiki's Shinra Tensei without a scratch. This is the kind of role model the next generation of ninjas should strive to emulate. Not everyone is as gifted as Shiki.

"It's been many years since I've seen Lord White Fang fight. Even now, I still think Lord White Fang is much cooler than Kakashi..."

"Uh-huh....."

Asuma, who was chasing the Asura Path below and unleashing his ninjutsu, suddenly stopped and looked at the battle in mid-air. He couldn't help but sigh at the incredibly stylish Hatake sword technique of Lord White Fang.

A group of friends around him nodded in agreement.

Back then, Kakashi became the most handsome guy among his peers because of the awkward movements of the Hatake sword technique, even though his face was covered and no one could tell if he was handsome or ugly. Their former dream girls all had Kakashi in their eyes.

If you were to ask them what their biggest dream was, they would all say it was to be born into the Hatake clan, inherit Hatake's swordsmanship, and become the next most outstanding young man. Even Asuma, the son of the Hokage, was no exception.

Whether he's handsome or not doesn't matter; what's really eye-catching is Hatake's swordsmanship!
