Chapter 81: 81. Shinigami Vs God
'Summoning Jutsu'
The Animal Path Pain makes many hand signs and summons a variety of Animal summons.
A Giant Drill-beaked bird, a Giant Multi- headed Dog, a giant Snake-tailed Chameleon, a Giant Panda, a Giant Centipede, a Giant Rhino, and a Giant Ox.
"Show him what true pain is." The Animal Path directs all of his summons at Izuna.
"That's a very nice zoo, you have opened there. Let me pet these animals for you." Izuna makes a large 'Lightning Release: Vanishing Rasengan' and throws it towards the summoned creatures.
The Giant Panda jumps in front of the Rasengan and tanks the hit for other summoned creatures.
Puff…
The Panda disappears in a puff of white smoke.
Scree…
The giant drill beaked bird shoots out from the white smoke at a quick speed.
'Swift Release: Sonic Steps'
Izuna disappears from his position leaving a blurry shadow behind. The bird pierces the blurry shadow with the drill shaped beak. The shadow turns into a large lightning net and traps the bird; the bird struggles inside the net as lightning continue to zap it.
'Storm Release: Laser Circus'
Izuna appears above the giant dog and chops into pieces. The chopped pieces of the dog regenerate into new dogs and multiple dogs line up.
Woof… woof…
The dogs bark madly and chase Izuna.
"Bad Doggo! Bad doggo… Let me chain you up."
'Metal release: Iron Maiden'
A large Iron maiden with multiple chains erupts from the ground. The chains bind up the dogs and pull them inside the Iron Maiden. The spiky interior of Iron Maiden closes up and turns the dogs into a beehive.
Boom…
Many explosive eggs fell upon Izuna's position.
'Earth Style: Mud Dome'
Izuna blocks the explosive eggs. He makes some hand signs
'Ice Release: Ice Prison'
Izuna freezes the bird in mid-air. The bird fell on the ground and shatter into countless ice splinters.
"Bad bird! You should not kill just bomb your eggs."
Bam…
The giant ox slams into Izuna, throwing him far away. Izuna stands up and dusts off his clothes. The metal coating on his body disappears and Izuna slowly walks towards the ox.
The ox charges again to slam in Izuna. Izuna clenches his fist and coats them with metal chakra. His fists turn into steel and Izuna punches the ox.
The horns of the ox snap in half, and it is sent flying by the blow. A forked tongue appears out of nowhere and stabs into Izuna's body.
Shatter…
Izuna's body shatters into various particles, and he appears behind the camouflaged chameleon.
"I have been waiting for you to attack."
'Water Style: High-Pressure Jet'
Izuna chops down the Chameleon summon in half with a high-pressure water jet.
Poof…
The chameleon disappears in a large puff of smoke.
"I am getting tired of your summons. It is time to end this."
Izuna claps his hand and yells,
'Radiation Release: Nuclear Devastation'
He throws out a small green orb from his hands. The orb travels in the midst of the summons and expands rapidly.
Boom…
The green orb explodes in a large column of light and engulfs all the summons.
Bang…
Izuna suddenly appears in front of Animal Path and punches him in the gut. The Pain path zooms past the light pillar and collides with a large boulder and shatters it. It continues to get pushed back by the momentum and breaks multiple towers as it enters inside the Ame.
Bang…
The pain crashes into the ground and creates a large crater. The body of the Pain path is badly damaged and there is an enormous gaping hole in its stomach. All the black chakra rod piercings have been ejected out from its body.
"So, this is the puny power of a self-proclaimed God. Pretty unremarkable, if I would have to say. Your weakness disgust me." Izuna taunts Pain.
'Come on, send all Paths of Pain. I am tired of fighting against the Animal Path.'
"I am God. My words and thoughts become the Law of Nature. I can defy the very existence of death since I have long ago shed my humanity and transcended Godhood.
I am a God of Peace, and you have disrupted the order and peace. Now get ready for your punishment."
Multiple pain paths appear beside the damaged body of the Animal Path. The Naraka path makes some hand signs and slams his hand on the ground.
A large head of 'King of Hell' sprouts out from the ground. It has Rinnegan similar to other Pain Paths and is surrounded by purple flames of hell.
The King of Hell opens its mouth wide and tendrils like arms appears its mouth and pull the damaged body of Animal Path inside it. The King of hell ingests the body of Animal Path and channels the restorative powers of Naraka Path.
After a while, the Animal Path walks out of King of Hell's mouth fully rejuvenated.
"So, that's the power of fabled Rinnegan. I never expected the leader of Akatsuki to possess such a powerful Dojutsu." Izuna remarks to Pain.
'So, the Black Zetsu has been monitoring me for a while. I bet he is enjoying my fight against the Pain. I can't kill Pain now, I don't fear any plot change but I want a motive for Shisui, Itachi, Sasuke, and Naruto to grow stronger. Pain shall serve that purpose. But that doesn't mean I can't rough him up.
I can't wait to fight against Grandpa Madara and it seems like Nagato has yet to figure out the complete power of Rinnegan.'
"Those who seek power will find only ruination. Men are not gods; no matter what they try, they can never escape the fact that they are human, and are susceptible to the same flaws. But to those who dare to avert the truth with self-conjured lies... they shall ultimately pay the price of forsaking their very identity, for an ephemeral illusion." Izuna responds to Pain.
"My pain and suffering have gone beyond any known parameter. I have awakened as a God. These eyes granted me the ability to see the truth of the world. This world is corrupted by the selfishness and desires of humanity. My quest for peace is nothing but a way to seek salvation for this doomed world. My desire for power is only a tiny fragment of my desire for peace. The world needs a God to direct it, and now I have been born with that power. Submit to my cause 'Shinigami' and the world shall see true peace." Deva Path Pain answers.
"Kami-sama, I am not interested in any of your bull crap. I am here on a mission and you are preventing me from completing my mission. God or not, I will butcher you if you dare interfere with my mission."
"You need to know pain before you understand the sentiments of God." Deva path gets into a formation with other paths.
"I don't care about your God complex. I just want some answers and that's all. You can continue to be the so-called God all you want." Izuna taunts Pain.
Pain ignores Izuna and attacks him with all of his paths. The Asura path opens its palms and various heat-seeking missiles lock on Izuna.
The missiles track Izuna and explode. Izuna dodges the explosion and makes some hand signs,
'Inferno Style: Heat Ray'
He fires a concentrated beam of fire towards the Asura Path. The Preta Path jumps in front of the Asura path and absorbs the chakra from the jutsu. The Asura Path detaches its arm to reveal a cluster of the segmented missile.
All the missile locks on Izuna and follows his trail. The Asura Path bends down and fires a massive metal blade from its back. This double attack blocks all paths of the escape of Izuna.
Izuna channels chakra in his hands, and his hand gets coated in Dark chakra. The hand turns into an enormous claw composed of darkness.
'Darkness Style: Shadow Claw'
The claw grabs hold of the large metal blade and block the explosion of missiles.
'They are avoiding direct eye contact with me. Are they afraid of my Sharingan Genjutsu? The biggest weakness of Pain was genjutsu. If you think you can avoid my genjutsu by avoiding eye contact, then you are sorely mistaken.'
Izuna claps his hands and makes some hand signs,
'Sound Release: Death song'
Izuna cast a sound-based genjutsu on Pain. Many sound waves ripple through the air and enter the ears of Pain. The Pain trembles and his chakra gets disrupted.
"Impossible, Genjutsu. How can this be? I made sure to avoid contact with your Sharingan." The Pain is paralyzed and looks at Izuna with disbelief.
Izuna vanishes and appears before the Asura Path. He smashes the Asura Path to rubbles.
'I will take this for research. These things are a good transmitter of Chakra.'
Izuna pulls out the black Chakra rod and stores it inside a scroll.
'Time to tone down his God Complex.'
Izuna breaks apart all the remaining paths except for Deva Path.

Chapter 82: 82. Itachi In Danger
"Oye! Oye! Itachi! You better not think that you saved my ass there. I could have taken care of myself out there." Tenma Izumo, one of Itachi's teammate bickers in front of Itachi.
"The thought hasn't crossed my mind." Itachi nonchalantly replies to Tenma.
"Even if you didn't end up helping me…"
Bonk…
Tenma is interrupted by a punch from Itachi's other teammate, Shinko Inari.
Tenma clutches his head and questions Shinko.
"Aw.... that hurts! What are you doing?"
"Why are you still saying stuff like that? He's your friend. Of course! He is going to help you." Shinko reprimands Tenma.
"Heh! Me! His friend. Are you daydreaming?" Tenma points at himself and Itachi.
"I was just fulfilling my mission." Itachi calmly reply to Shinko.
Bam… bam…
Shinko punches both Itachi and Tenma.
"Both of you stop bickering like this. We have completed our escort mission of Land of Fire's Daimyo. Yuki Sensei has to move ahead of us due to the mission." Shinko presses her hands against her non-existent chest.
"You too, Itachi. Stop being so difficult to Tenma." Shinko reprimand Itachi.
"All right! Isn't there something you want to say to Itachi?" Shinko folds her arms and stares at Tenma.
Tenma gulps a mouthful of saliva and avoids Shinko's gaze. He points a finger towards Itachi and speaks to him.
"I swear I'll make up to you for this!"
Shinko elbows Tenma in the gut,
"Why can't you just say, THANK YOU?"
Tenma gets up and they continue to travel towards Konoha.
After a while, a swirling portal opens up in front of them. Obito walks out of the portal and looks at Itachi.
"Found you. Since you are the only one out of the protection of Leaf Village. I have to go with you. I am sure if I take you as a hostage, it will force him to stop his action."
The masked Obito attacks Team 2.
"Enemy, get in formation."
Itachi warns his teammates. He immediately makes some hand signs,
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu"
Itachi launches a giant fireball at the masked man. The giant fireball phases through the masked man.
"How... how is this possible?" Itachi's eyes widen.
'My fireball phased through his body. How?'
He quickly makes more hand signs and launches many shurikens towards the masked man.
'Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu'
Itachi takes out another shuriken and throws it towards the rest of Shurikens. The shurikens change their trajectory and bombard the masked man at tricky angles.
'Looks like he is aiming for me. I have to buy some time for Tenma and Shinko to escape.'
The masked man avoids the shuriken and continues to move towards Itachi.
'Wind Release: Pressure Breakthrough'
Itachi fires a high pressure compressed air towards the masked man. The compressed air phases through the masked man.
Itachi had a serious expression. He forks out a scroll from his pocket and bit his thumb. Itachi wipes away the blood on the scroll and a seal appears on the scroll.
'I hope Nii-san's jutsu work on him.'
Itachi points the scroll towards the masked man.
Swish…
A very fast black lightning arrow escapes from the scroll and penetrates the hand of the masked man. The black lightning arrow zaps the masked man and paralyzes him. Many Fuinjutsu seals binds him in one place.
"This is…" The masked man's eyes widen, and he looks at Itachi with disbelief.
"So, this is the gift given to you by him. Not bad, if I have to say. But it won't be able to hold me for long." The masked man smirks.
Obito activates the Hashirama cell inside his body and resists the paralysis caused by the black lightning Arrow.
"Tenma, Shinko, we have to run as far as possible. We are no match for him, and I don't think even Sensei can do anything against him. We have to escape, my jutsu can only hold him for a few more moments." Itachi warns his teammates.
"But…"
"Ask your questions later. For now, just run for your life." Itachi interrupts Tenma and runs towards the village.
Tenma and Shinko follows Itachi.
"Itachi, who is he? He seems to be after you for some reason." Shinko questions Itachi while running.
"I don't know who he is. But he seems to be an enemy of big brother Izuna, and he wants to kidnap me to force Izuna nii-san to do something for him." Itachi deducts.
They run for five minutes and couldn't spot any trace of the masked man. Tenma and Shinko heaves a sigh of relief and Tenma speaks,
"That was a close call. We have escaped from him, I don't think he can trail us anymore."
"Oh! Do you honestly think you have shaken me off?"
The masked man walks out of a swirling portal. Tenma clenches a kunai in his right hand and shouts to Itachi,
"Itachi! My time to repay you have come." Tenma dashes towards the masked man.
"No, stop Tenma. You are no match for him." Itachi shouts to Tenma.
Slash…
The masked man slashes Tenma along his chest. A large fountain of blood spill from Tenma's chest and he desperately tries to attack the masked man.
Slash…
The masked man slashes again and Tenma's right-hand separates from his body. Tenma falls on the ground and sorrowfully looks at Itachi.
"I am sorry, Itachi. I wasn't able to fulfill my promise." Tenma closes his eyes and silently lies on the ground.
"No… Tenma! No…" Itachi shouts in desperation.
Chakra gathers in his eyes, and Itachi awakens his Sharingan. Two-tomoe Sharingan appears in each of his eyes.
"Now come with me like an obedient child."
The masked man approaches Itachi and tries to grab him.
Crack…
One of the bandages on Itachi's arms breaks and a large Fuinjutsu seal appears on the ground. A large tri-corner red barrier encloses Itachi and pushes back the masked man.
"Your big brother is quite doting of his younger brother. He even places a Three Yang barrier formation to protect you in case of danger. Too bad it won't be able to last long against me.
The masked man pulls out a large black rod from his sleeves. He stabs the black rod in the barrier. The Black rod sucks out the chakra from the barrier.
Crack…
Cracks start to appear on the barrier and the masked man gets ready to attack Itachi.
------------------
At Amegakure,
Izuna faces against Pain. Nagato has summoned all Six paths of Pain to confront Izuna. Izuna destroyed all of them except for the Deva Path.
"I will show you the true power of God." The Deva Path claps his hands and infuses large amounts of Chakra in his palms.
Crack…
One of the rings in Izuna's finger snaps in half. Izuna looks at the ring and a frown appears on his face,
'Itachi is in danger. He is facing a life and death situation. The safety of Itachi comes first. Looks like I have to postpone my fight against Deva Path.'
"Goodbye! Kami-sama. I have some urgent matters to handle. I will see you later." Izuna looks at the Deva Path and disappears in a flash.
Izuna's figure shatters into countless fragments and disappears from the scene.
"He left." Konan flies from a nearby boulder.
"He used the Space-time Ninjutsu of the Fourth Hokage. I don't know what his intentions were, but thankfully he left us alone. I still don't have enough control over the movements of Six Paths.
If we had continued, then I would have lost to him. He will be a great hindrance to us in the future. I would have to ask Madara to deal with him. I am sure only Madara can deal with him."
The Deva Path remarks at Izuna's prowess. Together with Konan, he returns to Amegakure.
--------------
Obito stabs another black rod in the 'Three Yang Formation'.
'It's almost time for it to break. I have to take him as a hostage and force the Shinigami to withdraw.'
Shatter…
The Three Yang Formation shatters and the masked man continues forward to stab the black rod towards Itachi.
Clank…
Izuna teleports in front of Itachi and blocks the strike.
"I hope I have made it on time." Izuna looks towards a stunned Itachi and smiles at him.
"Let me deal with the enemy first and I will talk with you later." Izuna looks at the masked man.
"It's you again. You want to kill Itachi because you can't deal with me. Huh! I have to make sure you return with a few limbs less for your courage to pull such a stunt against me."
Chirp… Chi…
Izuna coats his blade in Lightning Chakra. The blade produces sounds similar to the chirping of a thousand birds.
"No… not this technique. I don't want to see it again."
Obito clutches his head as memories of Rin's death flashed through his mind.
"Captain!... Captain!"
A subtle voice breaks their momentum.
"Captain! What are you doing here? You were out on a mission right. How come you are here?" Izuna spots Kakashi dashing toward him from a distance.
'Kakashi!... I have to go, I can't face him.'
Obito clutches his head and uses Kamui to teleport away. Izuna allows Obito to escape.
"Kakashi! What are you doing here?" Izuna questions Kakashi.
"That's my question, Captain Izuna," Kakashi complains.
"I am you Captain right! So answer me first." Izuna ignores Kakashi's question.
"It is like this." Kakashi explains the details of his mission.
------------
A/N:- Well, it is my way to postpone one of the most awaited fight. Messing with Obito and Nagato will change much of the canon stuff and apparently most of you don't want that. So, here it is. Also, you can relate Itachi part to canon but for different mission.
P.S. Don't hate me for it and just wait for next chapters. Everything will slowly be put into pieces.
