Chapter 257: Should I Defeat Pain?
The Akatsuki group was entangled by dozens of Amegakure ninjas as they struggled to escape the Tsuchikage building.
These Amegakure ninjas were generally not very strong. Under normal circumstances, these people might not be able to stop Akatsuchi alone.
But now Akatsuchi needed to concentrate on protecting Onoki and Kurotsuchi, and his combat power was severely limited relying only on Nozomi. It was very difficult to break through quickly, and the other side was not stupid. After knowing that the intruder was strong, they all chose to use their clones to disrupt the attack, trying not to engage in close combat with Akatsuchi and the others, just to delay them.
However, this brief delay made the situation of Akatsuchi and the others even more dangerous.
Because enemy reinforcements had arrived!
"Be careful up there!"
Nozomi noticed something and immediately warned them.
The next moment, Pain: Asura Path, which primarily focused on strength, fell from a height and punched Akatsuchi.
BOOM!
The ground cracked, shockwaves surged, and the power was extraordinary.
Two of Akatsuchi's stone clones were shattered on the spot, but Akatsuchi himself relied on Nozomi's warning to dodge it beforehand.
"Is that the Rinnegan?!"
"The enemy leader Pain?!"
Nozomi and Akatsuchi were shocked. They didn't expect the enemy leader's puppet to arrive so quickly, or had the other side been hiding here for a long time?
This was really troublesome!
According to Orochimaru's information, each of the Six Paths of Pain possessed strength comparable to the Five Kage.
Now only the two of them had to protect Onoki and Kurotsuchi. It might be difficult to fight!
Four more figures fell one after another.
Human Path, Naraka Path, Preta Path, and Animal Path.
Besides the Asura Path that appeared, except for Deva Path, the other five Pain puppets had all appeared.
Seeing this, Akatsuki and Nozomi felt their scalps go numb and their faces turned pale.
How to fight this?
❀❀❀
At the same time, Chiyo and Hyuga Kamon, who had just approached, also happened to see the appearance of the Five Paths of Pain.
"Why is Onoki so badly injured? And the enemy leader's puppets? Why are they all here?"
At a glance, Chiyo realized something was wrong.
The other core members of the Akatsuki organization had not arrived yet, but Pain was the first to get there.
There was only one possibility, they had been guarding here for a long time, and why did they need the protection of five Kage-level puppets?
The only possibility was the true identity of the enemy leader Nagato!
"Hurry, Young Hyuga, use your Byakugan to see the Tsuchikage Building!"
"Huh? Oh!"
Kamon immediately did as he was told, activating his Byakugan and looking at the entire Tsuchikage building.
Soon, an abnormality was found on the tenth floor, the top floor of the Tsuchikage Building.
"There is a strange barrier on the top floor of the building that I cannot penetrate, and its chakra color is exactly the same as the color of those puppets!"
Chiyo nodded, suddenly enlightened.
"It seems that the Akatsuki leader is hiding on the top floor of the Tsuchikage Building! We have been ignoring such a conspicuous location..."
Don't blame them either.
Nagato's body was naturally hidden at the highest point to better emit chakra, and he used black rods to control the Six Paths of Pain remotely.
Without knowing this bit of information, normal people would tend to ignore the most conspicuous place.
"Hiding there! Damn, I also ignored it!" Kamon was equally regretful.
If he knew better, he would have been the first to check the Tsuchikage Building from the beginning!
"Kazekage-sama, what should we do now? Should we take action?" Kamon asked proactively.
Akatsuchi and Nozomi seemed unable to defeat the Five Paths of Pain.
If they didn't come to the rescue, they were almost dead!
But if they took action, it was the same as being exposed.
Being in the heart of the enemy camp, being exposed almost meant death.
Chiyo also hesitated, should she take action?
However, after hesitating for a moment, she decided to help.
Saving people didn't mean sending someone to their death.
Previously, some arrangements needed to be made.
"I will save people, you go back quickly. Go and rescue all the Iwa ninjas in the warehouse and arrange for them to launch a counterattack on Iwagakure!"
"This is the antidote. Sprinkle it into the air and let them inhale it. It will detoxify in a few minutes. At the same time, I will inform the allied forces and use this opportunity to launch a general attack."
"Attack from inside and outside to break through Iwagakure!"
Chiyo handed Kamon a few bottles of the antidote and asked him to rescue the thousands of imprisoned Iwagakure ninjas they had found earlier.
Even Chiyo wasn't sure she could defeat the Five Paths of Pain.
Besides, enemy support could come at any time.
The only chance was to hold them back.
Contact the Ninja Alliance, cooperate with the thousands of rescued Iwagakure ninjas, attack from inside and outside, and launch a general attack!
To entrap other enemies and prevent enemy reinforcements.
Maybe we can still take advantage of this opportunity.
Defeat Iwagakure in one move! Defeat the entire Akatsuki organization!
"Okay, I'll go there!"
Kamon took the antidote and immediately acted. Chiyo took out a few more bird puppets, wrote her information, and immediately released them.
Then she rushed to the battlefield and hurried to support Akatsuchi and the others.
❀❀❀
Only two rounds, Nozomi was seriously injured by Asura Path and lost half of his arm. Akatsuchi was also forced to panic by Human Path.
This was even when the other three Pain paths had not taken action.
If all five attacks came out at the same time, they might not be able to survive even one round.
After the severely injured Onoki recovered slightly, he gritted his teeth and formed a seal, releasing two clones to help Akatsuchi in battle.
Only then did he just recover his losses, but looking at it this way, it wouldn't be more than a minute.
It was highly likely that they would be defeated and killed by the five Pain attacks.
Fortunately, Chiyo arrived in time.
She used puppets to push back the Human Path, giving Akatsuchi and the others an extra chance to breathe.
"Kazekage-sama!" Akatsuchi was overjoyed.
"Stop the nonsense. Kumogakure ninja, hostages and Onoki, then leave first. These Iwagakure ninjas and I will take over for you!"
"Good!"
Nozomi agreed without delay.
He was not a ninja specializing in combat. Even if he stayed, he wouldn't be able to change the situation, let alone the fact that he was seriously injured.
It was better to take the hostages and the injured and leave first, so as not to drag Chiyo and the others down.
Saying that, Nozomi immediately took Onoki and Kurotsuchi and prepared to evacuate.
❀❀❀
Seeing Chiyo appear, Human Path was also slightly surprised:
"Kazekage agent Chiyo? I didn't expect you to sneak into Iwagakure secretly."
While controlling the puppet's defense, Chiyo took out the scroll and replied: "Are you the Akatsuki leader? Puppet made of ninja flesh? Still has a certain level of activity!"
"This is really not easy!"
Human Path's expression changed slightly. Unexpectedly, the other party knew that his Six Paths of Pain were puppets.
This was one of the important pieces of information he had been hiding until now!
Even within the Akatsuki organization, few people knew about it.
Who leaked the information?
"Then, it's a coincidence that you can also be finished!"
Pain was full of murderous intent, no longer holding back, and immediately attacked Chiyo.
"I'm not that easy to kill, let's try this!"
Chiyo didn't dare to be too big, so she immediately released her strongest puppet Secret Technique White: Ten Chikamatsu.
A fierce battle began instantly.
