Chapter 281: The First Person to Die
Chapter 281: The First Person to Die
“We must proceed according to our plan.”
Jiraiya looked at the smoke coming from afar and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, don’t try to be brave. We must split up Six Paths of Pain and Konan, then defeat them down one by one!”
“Understood.”
The others nodded solemnly.
The ninja combat group below the village wall was also listening to their captain’s instructions because the ninjas of each army would be responsible for supporting one of the elite ninjas on top of the village wall.
These seven ninjas with the strongest individual strength.
Seven troops were responsible for coordinating with these seven ninjas.
The killing atmosphere before the battle was somewhat frightening.
All seven people present were participating in the pre-war meeting. They clearly knew how strong their opponents were. They were people who stood at the top of Akatsuki’s group of monsters!
Gaara, Lee, and Naruto had never experienced such a great battle before. The chakra of the three people couldn’t help but slowly burst out, attracting the attention of others.
“What a few young and energetic little guys!”
Terumi covered her red lips with her palm and chuckled. She then praised, “Then do you all have a girlfriend?”
Lee, “…”
Gaara, “…”
Naruto, “…”
Was this time to talk about girlfriends?
Not to mention the three young brats, weren’t Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Guy also three single dogs?
However, Terumi’s teasing made the tension on the faces of Lee and the other two young men slowly dissipate.
“Alright, let’s end our conversation here!”
Jiraiya suddenly closed his palms. Fukasaku and Shima sat on his shoulders and closed their palms at the same time. The three voices shouted in unison, “Sage Mode, activate!”
In the next moment, the aura around Jiraiya surged!
Everyone looked at the completely changed Jiraiya in surprise. Only Naruto frowned and said in a low voice, “The first shadow clone has finished absorbing the natural energy. The second shadow clone is preparing to absorb natural energy!”
“Sage mode, activate!”
Naruto’s body instantly erupted with the same momentum. There was a touch of orange color in his eyes, and his eyes gradually became like a frog.
They could only choose this stupid method.
Because Naruto had Kyuubi in his body, he could only carry out the transformation of Sage mode uninterrupted. However, it was obvious that he could not care about this in battle, so they came up with two plans.
The first plan: Naruto began to absorb and store natural energy in advance using two shadow clones. This way, he could directly dissolve the shadow clones and let the natural energy in the shadow clones return to the main body, directly activating Sage Mode.
The second plan: Naruto split up more than a dozen shadow clones in one go. He carefully calculated how much natural energy would be needed to merge with his body when each shadow clone returned to the body. When the first shadow clone was dissolved, the second shadow clone slowly extracted natural energy.
Every shadow clone had to keep in mind the amount of natural energy they absorbed because the amount they could absorb was different.
This plan was a bit troublesome.
If there were too little, it would waste natural energy.
If there were too much, there would be a frogmen phenomenon.
Fortunately, there were still a few toads on Mount Myoboku’s side watching Naruto’s shadow clone extracting natural energy. If any segment had a problem, they would immediately kill the idle clones to inform Naruto.
This battle.
It could be said that Konoha had put in a lot of effort.
“Lee, we can’t fall behind!”
Guy gave Lee a thumbs-up, then suddenly clenched his fist, and the aura all over his body began to riot!
Lee also clenched his teeth, and the aura of his body gradually began to synchronize with Guy, “Yes,
Guy-sensei! Eight Hidden Gates… The sixth gate, open!
Lee could easily open the sixth gate. If he wanted to risk his life, he could open the seventh gate, but the probability of death was relatively high.
Guy could easily open the sixth gate and even the seventh gate. However, the physical consumption of the seventh gate was too great.
“It’s really scary…”
Gaara reached out his palm and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He looked down at Lee and Guy, who had activated Eight Hidden Gates’ state, and then at Jiraiya and Naruto, who had activated Sage Mode.
Gaara and Terumi’s eyes gradually began to move to everyone. Finally, they slowly stopped on Kakashi. They also thought that Kakashi had a similar technique, right?
“Cough cough…”
Kakashi coughed a few times and said, “I don’t have any similar technique, only Mangekyo Sharingan. I have to disappoint you two.”
“… Oh.”
Terumi and Gaara slowly withdrew their gazes.
“Alright, let’s go!”
Jiraiya took the lead and jumped off the village wall, leading everyone to rush towards Pain. He shouted, “Terumi-dono, attack Konan! I will attack the strongest Pain; Guy will attack that Pain who can absorb chakra! Kakashi will deal with Pain, who can transform into a weapon! You three little guys go and entangle the other three Pain!”
“Understood!”
The figures of this group quickly shuttled through the forest. Behind them, thousands of Ninjas also entered the forest, chasing in their direction!
On the other side.
Six Paths of Pain was still slowly moving in the direction of Konoha.
Shurado(Asura Path) Pain’s body transformed into a radar that could sense chakra. He softly said, “Konan, someone is rushing over. Seven of them have a very violent reaction, and there are thousands of people behind them…”
“Oh.”
After frowning, Konan waved her hand and scattered the papers. She coldly said, “So, do you want to fight them head-on now?”
“The main body is behind us.”
Tendo Pain slowly raised his palm and said softly, “It doesn’t matter if we fight like this. As long as the main body is still there, even if all six of Pain’s bodies are damaged, they can still be repaired. This way, they can experience what is called… despair.”
“Let’s clear out the battlefield first!”
After saying this, Tendo Pain’s palm suddenly released a majestic repulsive force and almost instantly overturned the forest in front of him!
The rock and tree carried sand with it, and under the push of the repulsive force, it quickly rushed in the direction of Konoha’s allied force!
“Then say hello…”
Shurado(Asura Path) said in a low voice, opening his chest.
Under his chest, several cruise missiles drilled out and suddenly flew into the air. Under his precise control, they shot towards Jiraiya and the other seven people!
“Doton, Doryū Jōheki(Earth Release: Earth-Style Rampart)!”
Jiraiya was the first to close his palm and released a large wall in a deep voice, blocking the incoming giant stone and trees!
“Ryūsa Bakuryū (Quicksand Waterfall Flow)!”
Gaara stepped on the sand pad and looked at the flying missiles. He raised his hand and turned the earth into sands. He let it rush into the air and swallowed the missiles one by one.
Pain’s first wave of attack was blocked by the two of them.
“Is this the power of Pain?”
A trace of cold sweat appeared on Terumi’s forehead as she said in a low voice, “In just a short moment, he directly flattened all the obstacles in front of us…”
“Just this attack alone…”
Lee’s face was also a little solemn as he said, “It already possesses the destructive power is comparable to Guy-sensei Hirudora (Daytime Tiger)!”
Jiraiya nodded with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, “This is the ability that the Pain Yahiko possesses… Repulsive Force! The bomb that flew over just now was the ability of the ferocious-looking Pain…”
After he finished speaking, Jiraiya opened his mouth again and said, “Maybe Nagato just wants to clear out a suitable battlefield and say hello to us…”
“…”
Everyone fell silent.
“Alright.”
The solemn expression on Jiraiya’s face faded, revealing a trace of a smile, “Since the enemy has already greeted us, then we naturally have to return the greeting! Let’s go!”
Everyone climbed up the earth wall.
They saw Six Paths of Pain and Konan waiting for them when they stood on the top of the earth walls. This time, they were going to face a strong enemy!
And these were just puppets controlled by the enemy.
“Jiraiya-sensei.”
Tendo Pain slowly raised his head. The Rinnegan remained emotionless in his eyes. He only calmly spread out his palm and said, “Although a group of mortals challenging a god is a foolish act, your courage is worthy for me to build a suitable burial place for you.”
Tendo Pain’s eyes moved slightly. He looked at Naruto next to Jiraiya and said softly, “It seems that he is our youngest junior brother, Uzumaki Naruto, right? Then let’s treat him as the price of this battle.”
“…”
Naruto gritted his teeth and looked at Tendo Pain, “I can’t understand your actions. I heard from Ero sennin that your so-called purpose is to bring peace to the Ninja Word; why did you let Uehara-senpai destroy Sunagakure and Kirigakure?”
“Naruto!”
Jiraiya frowned and looked at Naruto.
Naruto ignored Jiraiya and clenched his fist. He looked at Tendo Pain and said, “There is obviously no need for this war! If it is for peace…”
“Shut up.”
Tendo Pain interrupted Naruto and slowly raised his palm towards Naruto. A cold voice came from his mouth, “I don’t like to hear others talk to me about some nonsense. What you need to do next is to accept your fate and enjoy the punishment of God!”
Was every yellow-haired person in the world a chatterbox?
Akatsuki’s Deidara was already annoying enough. Konoha’s Naruto also likes to chatter. These yellow-haired people talk too much.
Jiraiya patted Naruto on the shoulder and whispered, “Well, Naruto, let’s get rid of all of Pain here first! Before Nagato sees the power that can change this world, he will not believe you.”
“Yes, Ero sennin.”
Naruto slowly nodded his head.
“So… are you ready? Everyone!”
Jiraiya clenched his left fist and hit the palm of his right hand. He shouted, “If you are ready… we can go up now!”
“Yes!”
After everyone responded loudly, they jumped down the wall and ran toward the Six Paths of Pain and Konan!
“Ha!”
Guy and Lee were the fastest. After opening the six gates, they were the first to find their respective targets!
“Hmm? Are you planning to attack one by one?”
Tendo Pain’s gaze shifted slightly as he looked at the seven enemies. He sighed softly, “Still so naive! Jiraiya-sensei…”
Crack crack crack…
Shurado(Asura Path), who was standing in front of Tendo Pain, quickly changed his form, and a thick barrel appeared on Shurado(Asura Path)’s body!
The next moment, gunshots were heard!
Countless bullets shot out from the muzzle!
A series of bullets converged into a line of fire, locking down all the directions where the seven ninjas could rush over, forcing them to either dodge or block!
Then, a particularly thick sniper rifle barrel appeared on Shurado(Asura Path)’s chest. A huge bullet shot out from it and directly flew towards Lee, who was at the front!
This shot was too sinister!
“Kamui!”
Kakashi instantly activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and used his pupil skill to absorb that powerful bullet into his Kamui. He turned around and loudly warned, “Be careful! The weapon on that Pain…”
Bang!
A second bullet flew over!
A flower of blood bloomed on Kakashi’s chest!
Because Kakashi had just used his eye technique to save Lee’s life, he had no time to use his eye technique and was directly hit in the chest by Shurado(Asura Path)’s hidden second shot!
The battle had just begun…
The first person to die had already appeared!
On Hokage’s rock in the distance.
Kabuto pushed up his glasses and said with a chuckle, “I didn’t expect the first person to die in battle to be Kakashi-san…”
“What?”
Obito turned his head to look at Kabuto in disbelief and asked coldly, “How is that possible? Kakashi is the most sinister and cunning guy I know. How could he die?”
This sounded like Obito’s true feelings.
Maybe he didn’t want to see Kakashi die in battle, or perhaps he wanted to smear Kakashi’s character?
Minato clenched his fist, powerlessly smashing it on the ground, and said in a low voice, “No, Kakashi has indeed died in battle. To save a young little guy and to remind his companions…”
At this moment.
Uehara and the others were still on their way to Kumogakure.
Uehara frowned slightly and rubbed his temples. He was watching the battle from a distance and got first-hand news.
Did Kakashi die in the end to save people?
