'Thunder Breathing!'
'Second Form!'
Sasuke slowly opened his eyes.
His gaze instantly locked onto the positions of the four individuals.
In the next second, thunder erupted and surged through Sasuke's entire body.
Instantly enveloped in black lightning,
Sasuke's Kusanagi sword in his hand began to swing wildly.
'Inazuma!'
Zzzz... Whoosh...
The four Pain bodies near Sasuke were simultaneously struck.
As their bodies were sent flying backward, Sasuke took a single step forward.
Lightning Release!
Thunder God Technique!
In an instant, he transford into a bolt of lightning, covering a distance of over ten ters in a flash. Drawing his blade mid-air, he swung it down fiercely toward the Deva Path Pain.
At this mont,
countless eyes froze in shock, staring in terror at Sasuke, who left a long trail of lightning behind him, and at the flickering thunder snakes in the air.
Just a second ago, Sasuke had been surrounded, but in an instant, the four were repelled.
Simultaneously, black lightning coursed through their bodies, and in the next mont,
Sasuke had already rushed to another opponent.
What kind of speed was this?
No one had ever seen such terrifying speed before.
Sasuke, wielding the Kusanagi sword, with black lightning flickering and flowing along its blade,
drew countless gazes toward him.
In the next second, he swung his blade down with a fierce slash.
The Deva Path Pain's gaze hadn't even focused on Sasuke yet, and even Nagato was struggling to keep up with Sasuke's speed.
However!
At this mont, an astonishing wave of energy began to gather around the Deva Path Pain's body.
'Shinra Tensei!'
The blade struck the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei.
The two forces montarily locked in a stalemate.
The lightning around Sasuke's body continued to erupt,
but under the impact of Shinra Tensei, the blade couldn't fully descend.
If this had been the Nagato of the past, this slash would have landed effortlessly.
But now!
It was no longer possible the power of the Rinnegan had grown significantly.
Crack!
After a few seconds of stalemate, a shockwave that shook the entire battlefield spread out, and Sasuke's figure was sent flying backward at high speed.
Upon landing, Sasuke imdiately plunged the Kusanagi sword into the ground to dissipate the impact.
He slid back five or six ters before coming to a stop.
However, as soon as he stood up,
Sasuke looked at the Deva Path Pain, a faint smile on his face.
At this mont, Nagato felt that sothing was wrong.
Zap!
Suddenly, black lightning descended from the sky, striking directly behind the Deva Path Pain.
Nagato was stunned.
At this mont, everyone was dumbfounded.
When had this jutsu been cast?
Lightning falling from the sky?
Just like the attack the Second Mizukage had faced earlier,
it was indeed Sasuke's doing, but... when had he done it?
Kakuzu, staring at Sasuke's smiling face, carefully recalled every move Sasuke had made.
There hadn't been a single hand seal or movent to suggest he was casting a jutsu!
How could lightning suddenly fall from the sky?
And this lightning hadn't missed it had struck the Naraka Path Pain behind the Deva Path.
Without the Naraka Path, the other Pain bodies couldn't be revived.
"I see! So he was your target?"
The Deva Path Pain spoke slowly.
Now Nagato understood.
Sasuke had deliberately taken a frontal approach to force him to use Shinra Tensei.
Then, in that split second, he used Lightning Release to destroy the Naraka Path Pain.
How terrifying!
It wasn't Sasuke's power that was frightening, but the fact that even at this level of strength, he still chose such a foolproof thod of combat.
Beneath his arrogant exterior lay a cautious and ticulous fighting attitude.
Uchiha Sasuke!
Truly a fearso enemy.
However, Nagato now smiled.
'You've underestimated ... Sasuke!'
Among the four Pain bodies that had been repelled earlier, the Animal Path and Preta Path were completely destroyed.
But the Asura Path and Human Path Pain were still standing.
And just as Sasuke prepared to strike again, to finish off the remaining three Pain bodies,
the Human Path Pain suddenly clapped its hands.
Summoning Jutsu!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three destroyed Pain bodies reappeared before him, and the Asura Path Pain raised its hand, summoning the King of Hell, which swallowed the three damaged bodies.
In an instant, the three Pain bodies were restored to perfect condition.
Seeing this, Sasuke was montarily stunned.
What is this!?
The abilities of the Six Paths of Pain can be changed?
Is... that even possible?
No, Nagato had never indicated that each Pain's abilities were fixed.
In other words, perhaps the powers of all the Pain bodies could be altered, but... the Nagato of the past, weakened and frail, couldn't support such a feat.
But now that Nagato had returned to his peak, doing so was simple.
'How unexpected, Nagato!'
'If that's the case, then the Six Paths of Pain are even more troubleso!'
If their abilities can be changed at will, then the Six Paths of Pain I'm facing aren't fixed as the Human Path, Asura Path, or others. One mont, they could be the Human Path, and the next, they could shift to the Deva Path, Preta Path, or Asura Path!
The switching of powers would also change their combat styles.
That would make them far harder to deal with.
"They're... back again?"
"Weren't these guys already defeated? How are they here again?"
The shinobi were still in shock over the abilities of the Six Paths of Pain.
anwhile, Kakashi stared at the Six Paths of Pain. 'What a bizarre ability they can instantly revive.'
'Are these things even human?'
"Uchiha Sasuke, your power is indeed formidable. At this level, even with my enhanced strength, it seems I can't easily handle you!"
"Your earlier attack was impressive, but unfortunately... as things stand now, defeating my Six Paths of Pain won't be so easy."
The reassembled Six Paths of Pain left Sasuke in a difficult position. Unless he could destroy all six at once,
Nagato could simply switch their powers at any ti to revive the others.
To eliminate all the Pain bodies in one go, Sasuke would need to unleash power surpassing even the peak strength Nagato had when controlling the Deva Path.
By breaking through Shinra Tensei head-on, all problems would be solved.
In terms of raw power, Sasuke was confident he could match anyone.
He just needed a mont to gather his strength.
As Sasuke gently gripped his sword's hilt, preparing to strike,
the Six Paths of Pain began to glow with a red light.
The mont the light appeared, Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly.
'So this familiar feeling is... Tailed Beast chakra...'
'Nagato... you... have beco a jinchūriki yourself?'
The red chakra spread, and the chakra waves emanating from the Six Paths of Pain's bodies erupted.
At this mont, the Allied Shinobi Forces were stunned.
Even mbers of the Akatsuki, like Kakuzu, were shocked.
The leader... is also a jinchūriki?
"Uchiha Sasuke, now witness my new power!"
"Tailed Beast Chakra Mode: Six Paths of Pain!"
