High-end battles have no unnecessary chatter; every second is a brilliant game and confrontation.
With five thousand White Zetsu Clones helping to disperse the firepower, Akatsuki showed a crushing advantage from the start, making the Cloud Ninja and spies from various countries hiding in the dark feel the difference in strength.
However, such an advantage was only temporary.
As the saying goes, the battle of ninjas is the battle of information.
Unless the numerical strength reaches another dimension where a human wave tactic is useless, ninjas have two common weaknesses—fragility and limited Chakra.
Being stabbed in a vital spot by a Kunai will kill you, and being blown up by an Exploding Tag will also kill you.
Once Chakra is exhausted, they are no different from ordinary people.
Ninjas who can wear vests are at least Chunin, considered small elites among ninjas.
In normal times, these small elites themselves have the ability to lead teams on missions.
When war breaks out, led by more comprehensive Jonin, their execution will be greatly improved.
Moreover, in addition to combat members, ninjas also have various auxiliary professions.
When more than two thousand elites gather together, it is not only their strength that is improved, but all aspects.
The Akatsuki members only initially occupied the advantage in numerical strength.
Soon, their information was collected by the Cloud Ninja, and they gradually began to feel the pressure.
For example, Deidara, after throwing Sasori of the Red Sand down, rode on a white bird, constantly throwing various animal-shaped, large or small exploding clay like a bomber, indiscriminately bombing the battlefield.
However, before he could bomb to his heart's content, a Cloud Ninja who released Lightning Release Ninjutsu, trying to detonate the exploding clay in advance, found that after the Lightning Release Ninjutsu touched the exploding clay, these clays not only did not explode in the air, but also became duds after landing.
"That guy's Ninjutsu is Earth Release, use Lightning Release to deal with him." The Cloud Ninja immediately spread the information.
"This guy can fly, you are not easy to deal with, leave it to me."
Darui stood up, then clapped his hands and released multiple powerful lasers towards Deidara in the sky.
"Storm Release: Laser Circus!"
The Storm Release laser, possessing the destructive power of Lightning Release and the control of Water Release, was like the Asura Path's tracking missiles, constantly chasing the white bird that went up and down, sometimes fast and sometimes slow in the air.
"Damn it, did they find out so quickly?"
Deidara kept throwing exploding clay towards the laser barrage. After being submerged before it could be detonated, he cursed in a low voice, "If I wasn't afraid of accidentally killing them, I would really want you to see the power of C4·Garuda!"
Unable to dodge those lasers, Deidara chose to abandon the white bird and jumped down from the sky, landing next to Sasori of the Red Sand.
Looking at Sasori of the Red Sand, who had already taken out the Third Kazekage, manipulating the Puppet army and the Magnet Release trump card, fighting with hundreds of Cloud Ninja, but not gaining any advantage, Deidara couldn't help but tease, "Sasori, you seem a little embarrassed."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go together." Sasori of the Red Sand said in a deep voice.
The opponent that a puppeteer least wants to encounter is one who is good at swordsmanship and Taijutsu, and also extremely fast.
Sasori of the Red Sand's parents died at the hands of Konoha White Fang.
And most of the ninjas in Cloud Village are good at Nin-Taijutsu, and everyone is a White Fang.
Belongs to the type that restrains Sasori of the Red Sand.
"Be careful of that guy's poison needles. Anyone who gets poisoned, immediately retreat and find a medical ninja."
Hii and Samui led their teams to besiege Sasori of the Red Sand, and have already destroyed nearly a hundred of Sasori of the Red Sand's puppets.
Looking at those Human Puppets who were involved in the Cloud Village incident, they were not in the same league at all. Neither Hii nor Samui felt the pleasure of suppressing Sasori of the Red Sand; instead, they felt even heavier.
Not in the same league at all!
Not only do they need to be connected by Chakra threads, but the materials are not as good as those Human Puppets, and they cannot use the Five Elements Release.
Seeing Sasori of the Red Sand's somewhat strained appearance, and the way he regards the Third Kazekage as a treasure, it is clear that he is not acting.
This means that the other party is really not controlling a puppet army, and playing Danzo Shimura to the point where even the Fourth Raikage could not do anything about him for a while.
The information provided by the Fifth Hokage of Konoha is likely to be true!
The mastermind is someone else!
Their Cloud Village is just a pawn used by the other party to deal with the Akatsuki!
Thinking of this, Hii and Samui, as well as a large number of Cloud Ninja who have discovered the truth, their faces have become extremely ugly.
However, the Raikage has not allowed them to retreat, and they can only continue to fight.
And they also believe that the Raikage will never fight a meaningless war.
The art duo fell into a passive position, and the immortal duo was not doing any better.
After Hidan's head was sewn back on by Kakuzu using Earth Grudge Fear, Hidan randomly found a few Cloud Ninja to fight, and finally successfully scratched the opponent's skin, obtaining blood.
Immediately, under the stunned gaze of the Cloud Ninja, he cut open his stomach, spilling a lot of blood, and then drew a magic circle, held a curse ceremony on the spot, and ended the life of that Cloud Ninja.
But this kind of public curse killing behavior, while being very deterrent, is also a very stupid behavior.
When Hidan seized the blood of the second Cloud Ninja and prepared to return to the magic circle, the weakness of his technique had already been seen through.
If it weren't for Kakuzu and his masked monsters to rescue him in time, Hidan would probably have been dismembered by the Cloud Ninja troops.
Just like in the original story, the immortal duo, who could easily take down the Two-Tails Jinchuriki in a one-on-one fight, quickly fell into a passive position after their information was exposed.
On the other hand, Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha, who have been hiding their strength, still steadily occupy the advantage.
Whenever the enemy thinks they have collected their information, these two people will reveal stronger strength and techniques. Their strong tacit understanding and silent cooperation make the Cloud Ninja who are eyeing them, whether they are Chunin, Jonin, or the elite Jonin of the trump card combat power, feel despair.
They are as if they are fighting against the Five Kage!
Only Obito Uchiha has been teasing the Cloud Ninja, not exposing any abilities, and not killing anyone.
At the same time, the Sharingan under the mask is also looking around, taking in all the performances of the Akatsuki members.
As he thought, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki's strength are a level stronger than the others.
Especially Itachi Uchiha, with just the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and Genjutsu, as well as the summoning beast Crow, he played the enemy between his palms. He didn't even use Fire Release a few times, let alone the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Once he encounters a large-scale Ninjutsu, he either uses Body Flicker Technique to dodge, or he goes to Kisame Hoshigaki for help.
Fortunately, Kisame Hoshigaki is his man.
Otherwise, within the Akatsuki, this combo could break the balance and escape control at any time.
While the Cloud Ninja squad was fighting fiercely with the Akatsuki and the White Zetsu Clones army, the Six Paths of Pain and Konan, along with the AB Combo and Yugito Nii, very tacitly moved the battlefield to a rocky mountain area.
Otherwise, their level of combat would easily injure their teammates.
Konan flew around in the sky, constantly releasing ordinary Shuriken and those with Exploding Tag formulas, bombing the Two-Tails Matatabi, who was jumping around in the rocky mountains below, with Yatagarasu, which could also drop explosive eggs.
Behind the Two-Tails Matatabi, there were also huge fighting bulls, multi-headed dogs, chameleons and other summoning beasts.
On a barren land, the Six Paths of Pain and the AB Combo were staging the strongest team battle currently.
"Lightning Release Armor Collision Killing Technique!"
The Fourth Raikage, covered in blue and white electric currents, appeared out of thin air as if teleporting. He still clearly targeted the Preta Path, as this guy who could absorb Ninjutsu and Chakra was too much of a restraint on Killer B.
"Almighty Push!"
The Deva Path Pain, standing in a row with the other Pains, simply raised a hand, without even facing the Fourth Raikage. The invisible storm of Repulsion sent the Fourth Raikage flying.
The Human Path and the Hell Path raised their hands and shook them, and sharp Black Rods flew out of their sleeves, shooting towards the Fourth Raikage, who had been blasted into the air, like arrows.
Just as the Black Rods were about to hit the Fourth Raikage, a huge octopus arm flew over and intercepted all the Black Rods.
Killer B thought it was just a very ordinary block, but his expression suddenly changed. He couldn't even cut off the tentacles like before, so he could only pull out two swords and quickly cut off the tentacles extending from his body.
"Idiot brother, don't let those Black Rods stab you, they can interfere with Chakra..."
"Almighty Pull!"
Killer B had just finished reminding him when his feet left the ground, and his body flew towards the Deva Path Pain.
The Preta Path rushed towards Killer B, who was flying over, and the Asura Path followed closely behind, while disassembling his wrist and firing a large number of missiles.
The Human Path and the Hell Path looked around, providing Nagato with visual sharing, guarding against the Fourth Raikage's speed, which was as fast as Space-Time Ninjutsu, and also protecting the Deva Path Pain, who was in a five-second cooldown.
Facts proved that they were right.
Using the cover of the tentacles, the Fourth Raikage, who disappeared as soon as he landed, appeared behind the Deva Path Pain after a flash, and struck towards the back of his neck with a Lightning Release hand blade.
The Human Path and the Hell Path did not stop him, but disappeared in a flash.
Because the five seconds had passed.
"Almighty Push!"
Attraction turned into Repulsion. This time, the storm of Repulsion appeared as a transparent white barrier, causing the Fourth Raikage's hand blade to stop in mid-air, and then his body was blasted away again, even the ground was lifted up in a circle of dust.
Killer B, who had lost the lock of Attraction, looked at the missiles magnified in his eyes, and a large amount of dark red Chakra instantly overflowed from his body, covering his entire body.
In the next second, eight dark red tails grew out from Killer B's back.
As soon as he entered the half-Tailed Beast state, Killer B's body disappeared, like a humanoid beast, bringing up afterimages, and instantly passed by the Preta Path and the Asura Path, rushing towards the Deva Path Pain at an incredible speed.
After the Fourth Raikage landed, he also disappeared in a flash of lightning, appearing out of thin air above the Preta Path's head, raising his right foot higher than his head, and smashing down heavily.
"Almighty Pull!"
The Deva Path Pain's voice sounded again, and the invisible hand of God did not grab the Fourth Raikage this time, but pulled the Preta Path away from the spot.
With a deafening crash, the Fourth Raikage shattered the ground with a kick, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
With a whoosh, a beam of laser shot into the dust cloud.
The Asura Path's head opened, firing a laser cannon, while its hands fired ten more missiles, bombing continuously.
The Human Path and the Hell Path appeared in front of Deva Path Pain. The former shot out a large number of Black Rods from its sleeves, attacking Killer B, who was like a cheetah, while the latter formed hand seals and spat out a large wave of fire.
Just like Izayoi's Tenseigan Puppet, the Rinnegan Puppet, in addition to the Rinnegan's abilities, can also use Nagato's Five Elements Release.
Nagato, who transplanted the Rinnegan, also possessed six types of Chakra Nature Transformation.
Boom—
Killer B didn't dodge the incoming wave of fire, nor the Black Rods mixed in the flames, but instead opened his mouth and spat out a beam of orange-red light, like an enhanced version of a laser, instantly blasting away the wave of fire, passing through the middle of the Human Path and the Hell Path, and shooting directly at Deva Path Pain.
"Almighty Push!"
Deva Path Pain still didn't dodge or evade, raising his hand to release a Repulsion storm, blocking the beam of light and blasting it apart.
A transparent white light barrier appeared around his body.
However, when the light barrier disappeared, a sound of air being torn apart suddenly entered Deva Path Pain's ears.
His eyelids drooped slightly, and Deva Path Pain turned and jumped back, dodging the Fourth Raikage's punch, and raised his hand to shoot a Black Rod at the Fourth Raikage.
Unfortunately, the Fourth Raikage's speed was too fast. He dodged the attack of the Black Rod with a flash, caught up with the flying Deva Path Pain, and punched again.
Deva Path Pain's expression remained unchanged, and his palm met the attack.
However, a sharp Black Rod grew out of the palm of his hand.
Just as the fist was about to collide with the Black Rod, the Fourth Raikage flashed again, appearing behind Deva Path Pain, and his hand blade struck again.
This time, his hand blade still failed to hit Deva Path Pain. The familiar transparent white light barrier blocked the Fourth Raikage's attack, instantly expanding and sending him flying.
Black Rods, flames, missiles, and lasers came crashing down.
Killer B appeared in an instant, hugged the flying Fourth Raikage, and the eight dark red tails swept away the nearest Black Rods. Then, his body, which had been blasted away by the Repulsion storm, quickly entered a state of complete Tailed Beast Transformation, blocking all other attacks.
"Roar..."
As the roar of a beast resounded, the Eight-Tails Gyūki appeared on the battlefield.
Deva Path Pain's expression changed slightly, but not because of the behemoth in front of him, but because one of his perspectives was missing.
In the dust cloud, the Preta Path, who was trying to sneak closer and take the opportunity to absorb Tailed Beast Chakra, saw a flash of lightning in front of him, and then his vision was replaced by darkness.
A huge fist, carrying terrifying power, slammed heavily on the Preta Path's face, and then blasted him away with one punch.
The Preta Path didn't know how far he flew, but eventually crashed into a rocky mountain, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
Nagato instantly severed the connection with the Preta Path.
With just one blow, the Fourth Raikage had killed the Preta Path.
"The Five Kage are indeed not ordinary people."
Nagato, who was staying in Rain Hidden Village, muttered to himself.
Then the Asura Path quietly left the battlefield, flying towards the Preta Path.
"Impressive, to take out one of the Six Paths of Pain so quickly."
In the Land of Water, Izayoi, who had used Wood Transformation to become a mysterious person, also watched this scene through the real-time transmission of a Wood Clone.
He praised the AB Combo without reservation, affirming their strength.
Immediately, he chuckled, "However, the remaining Six Paths of Pain are all limitations of the Deva Path Pain. You're just speeding up your defeat."
The Fourth Raikage took so many Almighty Push attacks from the Deva Path Pain, yet suffered no damage.
Besides the surrounding area being relatively barren, with the only obstacle being rocky mountains, it was also because the Deva Path Pain was holding back.
Once the Deva Path Pain increased its strength, the surrounding Six Paths of Pain would also be blasted away by the Repulsion storm.
The other five Six Paths of Pain are actually limitations of the Deva Path Pain.
When the Deva Path Pain doesn't need the help of other Six Paths of Pain, his only weakness is the five-second cooldown.
"If you continue to fight like this, you will undoubtedly be defeated."
Izayoi took off the large scroll behind him, murmuring with a smile, "Seeing as you haven't disappointed me, let me give you a hand!"
"You... who exactly are you?"
At this moment, a weak voice sounded.
The scene zoomed out, revealing that Izayoi was in a huge crater.
At the bottom of the crater, lay a figure in a sorry state, covered in tadpole-like curse marks.
Even covered in dust, it couldn't hide his handsomeness and temperament. It was the Hidden Mist Village's rogue ninja, and also the Six-Tails Jinchuriki... Utakata.
And at this moment, Izayoi was sitting on Utakata's body.
"Sorry, I can't say."
Izayoi opened the large scroll with one hand, and grabbed Utakata's neck with the other. From under the mask, which didn't even have eye holes, came a resonant laugh, his ventriloquism amazing, "Don't worry, I'm just borrowing your Chakra for a bit."
As Izayoi's words fell, Utakata's eyes widened instantly, but unfortunately, he couldn't speak because his neck was being choked.
However, he could clearly sense that the Chakra and Tailed Beast Chakra within his body were rapidly flowing away.
To be precise, it was being absorbed by the mysterious person in front of him.
If his senses were strong, and he could sense Chakra signatures, he would discover that the Chakra signature of the mysterious person in front of him was changing, becoming exactly like his own.
At the same time, the large scroll in front of the mysterious person emitted a cloud of white smoke.
A Human Puppet wearing a red cloud black coat appeared in front of the mysterious person, it was Danzo Shimura.
As soon as Danzo Shimura appeared, he stored the large scroll on his back, and instead of disappearing using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he stood in front of Izayoi.
After Izayoi absorbed a large amount of Chakra, and completely changed the Chakra signature in his body using Wood Release, he stood up, placing one hand on Danzo Shimura's shoulder, and forming a Hand Seal with the other, whispering, "Ninja Art: Heavenly Transfer Technique!"
The next second, Danzo Shimura's body disappeared without warning.
When he reappeared, he was no longer in the Land of Water, far from the Shinobi World, but in the Rain Country in the center of the continent, which was also the battlefield between the Cloud Ninja forces and the Akatsuki.
This is the effect of Wood Clone + Tenseigan + Heavenly Transfer Technique.
Whether it's because of the Tenseigan or because the Otsutsuki Clan inherently possesses top-tier Space-Time talent, Izayoi finds that training in Space-Time Ninjutsu or any abilities related to Space-Time is as simple as eating and drinking.
Tsunade finds it terrifying that the mysterious person only took four months to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, which only the Second Hokage and Minato Namikaze mastered in Konoha's Year 61.
But in reality, after Izayoi started training, it only took him three days to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.
On the first day, he sensed the existence of Space-Time; on the second day, he condensed his Chakra into a Flying Thunder God Technique formula that would never disappear; and on the third day, he successfully completed the teleportation.
Excluding the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, the Flying Thunder God Technique is the first Forbidden Technique Izayoi learned from the Sealing Scroll.
After the Wood Clone obtained the Cloud Village's Sealing Scroll from the Raikage Building, the first Forbidden Technique Izayoi learned was also the Heavenly Transfer Technique.
This Ninjutsu is simply a perfect match for the Tenseigan.
Izayoi doesn't lack Chakra, and his long-range vision is extremely astonishing. With the real-time transmission of the Wood Clone, Izayoi can not only teleport materials to any location in the Shinobi World, but even to the islands outside the ninja continent.
Moreover, Human Puppets are inanimate objects, just like supplies, and will not be damaged during transmission.
Having mastered this Ninjutsu, Izayoi can completely airdrop the Puppet army to any location.
And that's exactly what he's doing now.
After teleporting Danzo Shimura over, Izayoi glanced at Utakata on the ground and smiled, "Your seal will automatically release in one minute. Thank you very much for your help today. I'll come find you again if I need you next time."
After saying that, Izayoi's figure disappeared without any warning.
When he reappeared, he didn't directly appear on the battlefield, but stood on a rocky mountain overlooking the battlefield.
Beside him were Ranmaru, whose invisibility could be instantly detected by both the Tenseigan and Rinnegan, and two Wood Clones who were also in a state of invisibility, controlling the Human Puppet army to participate in the war, indiscriminately attacking the Cloud Ninja troops, White Zetsu Clones, and Akatsuki.
Izayoi floated into the air and flew towards the battlefield.
Without the slightest concealment, the Chakra as dazzling as the bright moon in the sky instantly caused everyone on the battlefield, including the spies from various countries lurking in the dark, to change their expressions in shock and subconsciously look up.
Many people were even killed by the Human Puppets while distracted.
"It's that bastard!"
The Six Paths of Pain and the AB Combo also stopped fighting, and the Fourth Raikage gnashed his teeth as he looked at a small black dot in the distant sky, "This insidious guy, is he finally willing to show himself?!"
Deva Path Pain's zombie face was also rarely filled with fighting spirit, and he murmured, "Such Chakra, he deserves to be my nemesis!"
No longer paying attention to the AB Combo, the Six Paths of Pain, who had been repaired by the Hell Path, flew towards the battlefield.
The AB Combo also followed closely behind.
Konan and Yugito Nii on another battlefield did the same.
If the mysterious person didn't appear, they would naturally continue to fight, after all, the hatred was already irreconcilable.
Now that the mysterious person has appeared, they have a common enemy, and continuing to fight would only allow the enemy to take advantage.
Looking at the Akatsuki team on the battlefield, as well as the AB Combo and the Six Paths of Pain, Izayoi, who was standing with Shino Aburame and Hinata, couldn't help but click his tongue slightly, "With such a lineup, I wonder if the Main Body can handle it?"
That's right, the Izayoi in the sky is actually the Main Body!
