Chapter 102: Six Paths of Pain
The Six Paths of Pain and Konan were closing in on Konoha as Deva Path ordered.
"Asura Path, Petra Path and Animal Path will be tasked with diversionary. Deva Path, Human Path and Naraka Path will be tasked with reconnaissance. Konan, you know what you have to do right?"
"Yes." Konan replied with a neutral face.
"There's a barrier surrounding Konoha. All intruders will be sensed immediately." Deva Path said not knowing that a certain snake had entered Konoha without being detected.
"But we have our way of doing it." Deva Path said as Asura Path carried Animal Path and threw him above the barrier.
Animal Path dived down from the air as he passed the barrier. This alerted the ninjas who were tasked with managing the barrier. They alerted everyone as the ninjas went to the location.
Animal Path touched the ground as smoke appeared and all 5 other Pains were summoned inside.
Konan was not summoned as she was masking all the exploding tags and making it seem like it was the ground and surroundings.
All the exploding tags were moving extremely fast as they were sticking to the ground together.
"Scatter!" Deva Path said as all the Six Paths of Pain went in different places causing mayhem.
Asura path fired many missiles as they destroyed stalls, houses and walls. Animal Path summoned some animals while Human Path killed ninjas and read their souls to gain information about where the Nine-Tails and Two-Tails were.
Ninjas arrived at the location as they saw the houses being demolished.
"Call for reinforcement!"
Kakashi, Choza and Choji and some other jonins arrived at where Deva Path was as they attacked him.
They used several combinations of attacks and at last, Kakashi almost killed Deva Path but Asura Path blocked in the way.
The area around them was already destroyed as the ninjas were already on the ground.
"Well, I'll have to kill you now. It would be a pain to have someone like you who could use a wide array of jutsus in the future."
{a/n: hehe, get it? a "pain". Sorry, I'll leave now.}
{e/n: :| }
Pain threw a needle right at Kakashi's heart but he didn't expect someone to jump in front to cover him.
"Hanare!"
Kakashi immediately used his mangekyou sharingan as the needle was absorbed into another dimension using Kamui.
Deva Path looked amused while Asura Path fired a few more missiles at all the shinobis. However, all the missiles were blocked as a large fire made them explode before they reached the ninjas.
"Ah, I said that I would retire but I'll have to fight again huh? I can't even write in peace."
Jiraiya said as Fukasaku and Shima were summoned on his shoulders once again.
"Young Jiraiya, what are you doing?"
"Pain." Fukasaku just muttered as Jiraiya smiled.
"Looks like we'll have lots of work to do again, Pa, Ma." Jiraiya said as he thought, 'I'll have to put my trust in Akihiko. If he can defeat 5 Pains easily, he can defeat 6 of them too.'
-----
[Meanwhile]
Human Path was walking to the shops as he finally got where the 9 Tails was.
"I found you, Nine Tails."
He said before his face got smashed into the ground.
"Are you the one who scared our daughters?" Kushina said her body got covered by Kurumi's chakra.
'Kushina, kill him! I can't tolerate those cute little kids getting scared by this ugly ass.'
"Kushina, leave it to me."
Suddenly, Akihiko appeared as the kids ran and hugged Akihiko. They were crying.
"I-I was scared!"
"Sorry. Will you enter the door again? This is for your safety. Papa will play with you for a long time after everything is over."
"R-really?"x9
"Of course."
The kids nodded as they entered the door and went into Akihiko's dimension.
"My wives, will you also enter the dimension?"
"Nope. We're strong. We'll kill all of those guys for scaring our daughters."
They all had a similar answer as Akihiko smiled.
"Now, leave him to me." Akihiko said as everyone nodded.
"Now, let's go!" Kushina shouted as they all dispersed to different places while Akihiko just looked at Human Path menacingly.
He appeared in front of Human Path and moved his hands extremely quickly. Several sounds of metal hitting the ground appeared.
"You already lost." He just muttered as he teleported away.
As soon as Akihiko teleported, Human Path just dropped down as all the chakra receivers were pulled out.
-----
"Let's test out my new eyes." Sasuke muttered as his eyes spun and his eternal Mangekyou Sharingan appeared.
"Amaterasu!"
Black flames appeared on Petra Path for once but they disappeared as he touched it with his hands.
"Un? Did my eyes get nerfed?" Sasuke was confused as he used it again.
"Amaterasu!"
The process repeated again as Petra Path absorbed the Amaterasu.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
The jutsu was once again absorbed by Petra Path as Sasuke finally knew what was wrong.
"So, you can absorb chakra-attacks, huh? Luckily, I'm skilled with my katana."
Sasuke unsheathed his katana hanging behind his waist as he swung it around a few times.
"Now, let's slice you up." He said as he dashed towards Petra Path.
*Swoosh*
Petra Path's hands were sliced off cleanly as Sasuke just slashed another time towards Petra Path's head.
Petra Path's head got sliced off cleanly as Sasuke just sheathed his katana back in.
"Easy opponent."
He walked away as the civilians who saw this fight were in awe.
-----
Hinata, Ino and Sakura were moving in a team. Hinata and Ino helped uninjured civilians evacuate while Sakura healed people who were injured.
However, they saw a fat Pain walking towards them. It was Naraka Path who had the King of Hell summoned behind him to eat the souls of people.
"You can run now, right?" Sakura asked as the civilian nodded.
"Then, run. Leave him to us." She said as the civilians around them ran away.
"Sakura, Hinata, are you ready?" Ino asked as she held her hand in a triangle.
"Mind Transfer Jutsu!" Ino yelled as she appeared inside Naraka Path's mind. The one thing was that she saw two large purple eyes staring at her before she got expelled.
'Hinata, Sakura, his mental defense is high. We'll have to defeat him using other ways.' Ino said telepathically to Hinata and Sakura.
'So…. using taijutsu?' Sakura replied as Hinata also joined in.
'Ino, can you bait him for a second, I'll use Gentle Fists to immobilize him. Then, Sakura, you can just punch him to oblivion.'
'Sure.'x2
"Do you know where the Nine-Tails is?" Naraka Path said as Ino replied.
"Nope."
She dashed towards Naraka Path and punched him in the belly. However, this only caused the fat in Naraka Path's body to ripple.
"Fat bastard." She muttered as Naraka Path heard her. Nagato, who was controlling the six Paths felt a bit of annoyance as he decided to punch her in the face.
Naraka Path moved his body and moved his right arm towards Ino who just somersaulted and dodged it. Naraka Path punched a bit more but Ino just dodged them all.
"Thanks, Ino." Hinata said as she was already behind Naraka while Naraka was trying to punch Ino.
"Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams: 32 Palms"
She started hitting Naraka Path's chakra points in his body. After she finished, Sakura dashed in front of Naraka Path's body and used Strong Fist to hit his chin.
"All done." She said as Naraka Path flew up and then fell back on the ground.
However, the Naraka Path just got up again as he didn't even seem unfazed.
"Eh?"x3
The three were all confused as Ino immediately used telepathy to talk to Akihiko.
'Akihiko, how do you defeat the orange hair fat guy with black rods on his body?'
'Oh, hello Ino. For your question, just remove all the chakra receivers of the black rods as you call it.'
'Thanks, Akihiko.'
She then cut off the connection with Akihiko as she talked to Hinata and Sakura telepathically again.
'We'll have to remove those black rods from his body. Let's just defeat him like earlier.'
Ino baited Naraka Path once again but when Hinata was about to attack Naraka Path, he suddenly turned around and punched Hinata. However, before his attack hit, Ino swept his legs as he was unbalanced.
Sakura punched him in the belly using a Strong Fist as Naraka Path was blown up once again.
As he fell back to the ground, Hinata used Gentle Fists and hit in again, immobilizing him for a while. After that, they were about to take the black rods out but suddenly, the Naraka Path disappeared.
"What? Did he run away?" Ino questioned as Sakura replied.
"I think so."
"We should continue helping the civilians in other areas." Hinata said as they all nodded.
-----
"Are you alright?" Itachi asked as he helped a civilian to get up.
"Thank- AHHHHH!" The civilian ran away as Itachi was confused for a second.
"Oh. I forgot that I'm a criminal."
-----
"Amaterasu!" Mikoto muttered as another summon of the Animal Path was burned to death by the black flames.
However, a bird summon came flying towards her and tried to attack her with its beak.
"Ice Lances." Haku waved her hands from a few meters away from Mikoto as Ice Lances appeared and pierced the bird summon, killing him in the end.
"Thanks, Haku." Mikoto said as Haku just nodded her head and smiled. They were fighting the summons which were summoned in bulk. They seemed to come back now and then.
While Mikoto and Haku were killing the summons, Yugao and Ayame were helping and evacuating the civilians who were trapped in the debris.
"Where's Kushina?" Mikoto asked as Haku replied.
"She was fighting a rhino in another sector of the village with Kurenai and Pakura."
Anko was using her summon to tower over Konoha and search for the person who was summoning the animals.
*BOOM*
Suddenly, a loud sound of something hitting the ground appeared as they all turned towards the east and dashed there.
-----
*BAM* BAM* *BAM* *BAM*
Kushina was holding the rhino by the tail and was continuously slamming it to the ground with a pure smile as if she did nothing wrong.
"K-Kushina, I think you can stop now."
Kushina turned towards Kurenai as she asked, "Stop what?"
"Slamming the rhino. It is already dead."
"Oh my!" Kushina made a surprised face with her left hand as she covered her mouth.
"I was just blowing my anger out on these things." Kushina said with a smile as Kurenai nodded.
"Understandable."
"Pakura, can you please burn this down." She said as she pointed at the rhino.
"Sure. I'll just summon a little fire." Pakura said as she just summoned a large fireball and threw it towards the rhino.
"Good job, Pakura!"
Kushina gave a thumbs up towards Pakura who returned a thumbs up. Suddenly, they turned towards the east side of the village as a loud sound covered the entire village.
Dust and smoke were coming out as they all dashed towards the place.
-----
[2 minutes earlier]
"Haha, at least Kakashi, Choza and the others got help." Jiraiya muttered as his breathing was rough.
He was laying on the rubbles as some blood was dripping down from the side of his mouth.
Kakashi, Choza, Choji and all the ninjas who were injured by Pain already got evacuated as they were now getting healed by Tsunade in a safe place.
"Today, you will not be able to run anymore, Jiraiya-sensei."
Asura Path was walking towards Jiraiya when he suddenly stopped. Asura Path disappeared as Deva Path turned and stared at the person who just walked into the battle.
"Ah, Jiraiya-san, sorry about this. I was a bit late." Akihiko said as he walked forward.
"Anyway, let's take this fight to another place." Akihiko said with a smile as Deva Path kept a neutral face.
"Do you think you can command God? Tensho Ben-"
Akihiko just appeared in front of Deva Path and grabbed his face and jumped up extremely high, destroying rocks and creating lots of dust.
This left Jiraiya in a cloud of dust as he coughed loudly. After that, civilians who were hiding out of fear came out, dragged Jiraiya and helped him get to the location where the medical division was.
"God? I see no god up here…. other than me." Akihiko said as he dragged Deva Path by the face and jumped down as he thought he arrived outside of Konoha's gate.
*BOOM*
Akihiko slammed Deva Path's face onto the ground and didn't stop there. Deva Path was thrown away as he made a large trail on the ground.
A loud mushroom made of dust appeared as Konoha's gate was completely destroyed and there was nothing but a large crater and a large trail.
"Ah, I seemed to have misjudged the landing spot." Akihiko muttered as Deva Path got up while his body was shaking a little.
Nagato, who was controlling the Six Pains, was grinning as he thought that his plan was already complete.
Akihiko was near where Konan prepared all the explosion tags. He can just easily kill him now.
"Let's end this fight quickly. My daughters must be bored already." He said as he cracked his fingers.
{e/n: hoh whats 1000-7}
(End-)

I have one question for you all.
