"I have heard of the name of the copy ninja Hatake Kakashi for a long time. It seems that you have analyzed my information. Was it done by the toad under Jiraiya?"
Deva Path Pain stood in front of Naraka Path, and the two Pains were one body apart. 2 pairs of Rinnegan eyes stared at Kakashi, full of oppression.
"Is this the Pain who has gravity and repulsion, can destroy the entire Konoha with one blow, and can create giant meteorites?"
Feeling the oppression brought by Deva Path, even Kakashi, who was calm, couldn't help sweating at this moment. An opponent that even Fujiwara Kirito couldn't defeat he feared he had no chance of winning alone.
Kakashi took a deep breath, and just as he was thinking about countermeasures, a scream suddenly came from behind him.
Kakashi turned around suddenly, and saw that several Konoha ninjas who were just behind him had died tragically and were trampled on the ground.
And the one who killed them was Asura Path, who had just rushed over. Kakashi secretly thought in his heart it was bad. Facing three Pains at once, with the most powerful one being Deva, he knew that if his companions didn't arrive soon, he'd be in great danger.
"It's really tragic."
On a giant building somewhere, Fujiwara Kirito couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the village below, already one-third destroyed.
Konan replied indifferently, "On the road to peace, sacrifices are inevitable."
Just like Akatsuki founded by Yahiko.
Because of the persecution of Danzo and Hanzo, Yahiko and many members of the first generation of Akatsuki died tragically.
Now, only she and Nagato were left.
"You're really cold. Are you recalling some bad memories again?" Fujiwara Kirito asked casually.
Konan nodded slowly. She didn't hide anything and told the story of the Akatsuki organization being persecuted by Danzo and Hanzo.
"No wonder you hate Konoha so much. Danzo really made enemies for Konoha everywhere." Fujiwara Kirito pretended to be surprised.
At the same time, he added in his heart, "It's a pity you don't know the real murderer who caused the downfall of the original Akatsuki wasn't Danzo or Hanzo, but Obito that kid who was used by the old man."
Konan didn't want to dwell on it further and changed the topic, "Kirito, I need you to do something for me."
"Is it to find the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?" Fujiwara Kirito asked back.
Konan nodded slowly, "Pain and I searched the entire village but couldn't find any trace of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"Of course. He's not in Konoha. He went to Mount Myoboku to learn Sage Arts."
Fujiwara Kirito answered, looking in another direction, where Kakashi and Pain's battle had already ended.
The result wasn't much different from the original story. If anything, it was that Asura Path was still alive.
Kakashi killed Naraka Path at the cost of his life.
This successfully angered Pain.
Konan communicated with Pain through the lip stud made of black receivers, informed him of Naruto's location at Mount Myoboku, then turned to Fujiwara Kirito and said, "Kirito, Pain asked us to retreat. Let's go."
"Is this the end?" Fujiwara Kirito knew Pain was about to use Super Shinra Tensei to destroy Konoha, but he still feigned ignorance and asked knowingly.
"Yes, it's over. Now Pain has decided to go to Mount Myoboku." Konan still concealed Pain's plan to destroy Konoha. After all, it was Kirito's hometown, and she worried he'd be displeased.
"Then you go. It's a pity we didn't get the battle I imagined. I'm going home." Fujiwara Kirito said, forming a hand seal and disappearing from Konan's sight.
Looking at the spot where Fujiwara Kirito vanished, Konan sighed helplessly. It was better he left. Otherwise, if he clashed with Pain later, it would have been trouble.
Hokage Office Building.
Through the slug clone, Tsunade could feel the lives in Konoha fading one after another. And finallyeven Kakashi died.
Tsunade could no longer hide her anger. She stood up and walked swiftly to the edge of the rooftop platform. She threw a punch and instantly shattered a corner of the building.
"Tsunade-sama, you..."
"Mom."
Karin and Chinatsu also sensed Kakashi's death.
They all showed worried expressions.
At this moment, even Chinatsu, usually calm, couldn't keep her composure.
Pain's essence is that of a corpse, and his mind can't be read.
And Fujiwara Kirito is the only one whose mind she can't read.
For the first time, Chinatsu panicked not because of Pain, but because of Kirito.
As a child who grew up in Konoha, she watched familiar partners die one by one in her perception, yet she was trapped inside the barrier set by her father, powerless to act.
Obviously, with her father's strength, he could easily deal with Pain.
But what is he thinking? What is his plan?
Is it really because he hates Konoha and is only protecting her and their mothers?
Just as Chinatsu was deep in thought, Hinata's voice rang out, "Everyone, look."
Hinata pointed to the sky, and everyone turned in the direction she indicated, only to see the Deva Path of Pain slowly rising into the air.
"Is it finally about to start? It seems that although Konoha reduced many casualties thanks to the leaked intel on Pain, it had the opposite effect and enraged him."
Looking at Pain floating in the sky, Fujiwara Kirito opened the collar of his Akatsuki robe and pulled out the Zanpakuto from his waist.
Then his gaze shifted to the giant toad charging toward Konoha's outskirts.
"But it seems there's no need for me to teleport that female toad to the Shinra Tensei center now."
"And Kakashi... it seems he sacrificed himself in vain."
Outside Konoha, the Animal Path had summoned the remaining four Paths of Pain except Tendo.
The Hell Path, who had been killed by Kakashi at the cost of his own life, was now revived just like in the original story after being defeated by Konohamaru.
He was brought back by Nagato himself.
Then, the Animal Path summoned him.
Konan was also summoned at the same time.
"Where is Kirito?" The Animal Path looked around and, seeing Fujiwara Kirito absent, asked Konan.
"He went back through reverse summoning. I didn't tell him that you were planning to destroy Konoha." At this point, Konan looked worried. "Nagato, do you really have to go this far? Doing this will shorten your life."
"I will never forget Yahiko's pain."
After saying that, the five Paths descended together.
Nagato concentrated all his remaining strength into the Deva Path.
"I keep having a bad feeling in my heart."
Looking at the increasingly distant Pain in the sky, Tsunade's expression grew more serious. She urged, "Karin, are you still not finished?"
At that moment, Karin was using the Diamond Blockade technique to continuously assault the Uchiha Flame Formation.
