Chapter 151: Chapter 151
Another shinobi, wearing the Anbu mask, added, "Analysis teams suggest that these intruders have a combat history spanning many years."
Tsunade's expression darkened as she absorbed the information. Such formidable adversaries capable of infiltrating undetected—could it truly be them?
In her mind's eye, figures clad in black robes bearing red cloud patterns appeared, solidifying her suspicions.
Then, another report reached her ears, "We have sightings of intruders. They're dressed in black attire adorned with the red cloud patterns."
Tsunade took a deep breath. Thoughts of a conversation she'd had with the Great Toad Sage only days ago came in her mind.
Along with a mysterious figure, cloaked in mist but exuding an inexplicable allure, who had recently made an impression on her.
"Jiraiya trusted you so much. Why did he send you to Konoha? Are you his last hope?" she wondered.
Tsunade shook her head, banishing these distracting thoughts and focused on her duties. It was time to issue orders.
"Initiate an emergency alert and recall Naruto back immediately.
Furthermore, keep a close watch on Carnes!"
At this moment, the once peaceful village of Konoha was in a state of turmoil.
Countless civilians scurried about, seeking refuge in underground shelters as chaos unfolded.
But as Konoha's seasoned ninjas sprang into action, a sense of order gradually began to take hold.
The village's new generation of ninjas emerged, ready to fulfill their roles.
The animal path's summoned creatures were swiftly neutralized, thanks to the collective efforts of Konoha's new generation of ninja, who were stepping up to their roles.
Yet, amid the apparent calm, only Tsunade and a select few high-ranking officials understood that the true attack was yet to begin.
All that had transpired so far was but a prelude to the impending storm.
In a hidden location amidst the ruins, Iruka, determined to protect Naruto's whereabouts, found himself facing dire consequences.
Just as Deva Path Pain was ready to deal with this minor obstacle, Kakashi appeared before them, his hand firmly clasping Deva Path Pain's Chakra receiver.
Kakashi's Sharingan, unveiled as he removed his blindfold, gleamed with an eerie coldness.
"You thought you could incite chaos to divert our attention and search in secret?" he accused.
"Reveal the location of the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki!" Deva Path demanded.
"I won't tell you anything!" Kakashi retorted defiantly.
"Then prepare to meet your end!" Deva Path Pain retaliated, and a confrontation ensued.
Under normal circumstances, Kakashi would have been no match for Deva Path Pain, but he fought valiantly.
As Asura Path Pain once again arrived to provide support, the situation appeared dire for our heroes.
The clash lead up to Kakashi being overwhelmed, subjected to the Almighty Push and Universal Pull of Deva Path Pain's formidable abilities, leaving Kakashi at a disadvantage.
It was only through Kakashi's timely use of lightning attack, that he managed to evade certain death.
However, fortune smiled upon him when Chōji and his son arrived on the scene just in the nick of time, relieving Kakashi from his perilous situation.
Together, they forged an immediate alliance and engaged in a fierce battle against Pain.
Meanwhile, not too far away from this skirmish, on the rooftop of an abandoned building, Carnes and Demiurge observed the unfolding spectacle with great interest.
"This little show is quite entertaining, truly captivating," Carnes mused.
"Captain! Should I intervene?" Demiurge eagerly inquired.
Demiurge had previously witnessed Nagato's formidable abilities, and his allegiance naturally leaned towards Pain's side.
Carnes, however, waved his hand dismissively.
"No, for now, let us simply watch."
While Kakashi was already struggling in his confrontation with Deva Path Pain.
Carnes understood that Demiurge's interference could tip the scales decisively. Konoha might lose several of its high-level combatants in an instant if Demiurge were to act.
While Carnes didn't place great significance on the system's mission, he had no inclination to deliberately tip the scales in favor of evil.
Pain, Kakashi, and the others at the scene couldn't help but notice Carnes and Demiurge perched on the rooftop.
They were not so oblivious to Carnes and Demiurge's presence.
Their gazes, however, remained locked onto their fierce battle.
Though they pretended to ignore the duo, they kept a vigilant eye on them.
No one wanted to disrupt the delicate balance that had been established.
