Chương 145: Chp-145: Is this Pain a Bit Foolish?
Rustle!
The ground suddenly trembled, and pitch-black metallic thorns burst from the earth one after another, transforming into a dense forest of metal, surging towards the group like a tidal wave.
"Wood Release???"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils contracted.
No, the aura is completely different.
But this scale...
He leapt back, nearly instantly summoning his familiar.
As the white mist dissipated, Enma appeared beside him.
"Hiruzen, what's going on that you had to summon me?"
"No time to explain. Transform into the Adamantine Staff!"
Boom!
Enma transformed into a massive staff, landing in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands.
Taking a deep breath, Hiruzen Sarutobi exerted force and swung the staff at the encroaching metallic forest.
Clang!
A sharp metallic clash echoed through the night.
The Adamantine Staff trembled violently from the rebound, and Hiruzen Sarutobi felt dizzy, staggering back several steps.
His stomach churned, and he felt something rise up his throat, almost vomiting.
"Hiruzen, what are you doing?"
The Adamantine Staff opened its eyes, equally dizzy and speaking incoherently.
"Damn it! I didn't expect this thing to be metal."
"Third Hokage, are you alright?"
The Anbu rushed over, supporting the staggering Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"It seems the old man can't handle it alone!"
Orochimaru squinted at the still-spreading black forest.
A forest made of metal?
It seems similar to Satoru's technique.
Yet distinctly different?
Who exactly is this guy? I can't see through him.
Seeing that Orochimaru hadn't noticed any anomalies, Zero breathed a sigh of relief.
This cover identity still had use, and it couldn't be exposed so easily.
Zero's use of abilities was deliberately distinct from his main body's. Even when manipulating metal, he used nanomaterials as a disguise.
The black metallic forest spread rapidly, engulfing a large area and surging towards them.
"No choice, old man, it seems you're really getting old."
Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi unable to deal with the metallic forest, Orochimaru sighed, quickly formed hand seals, and lowered his upper body to the ground.
"Ninja Art! Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!"
Like a COVID-19 test, his mouth opened wide, and countless snakes poured out.
The snakes crashed into the metallic forest, slithering through the gaps, and almost instantly—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Orochimaru detonated the snake swarm, a series of violent explosions engulfing nearly half of the metallic forest.
"Impressive! As expected of the Fourth Hokage, so powerful!"
"In one move, he destroyed so much!"
"Fourth Hokage! Keep it up!"
The Anbu were visibly excited, their spirits greatly lifted.
Enma was shocked; Fourth Hokage???
Did Orochimaru become the Hokage? Unbelievably, it seems some unexpected things have happened in Konoha recently.
Amidst the surrounding praise for Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi blushed, embarrassed to the point of wanting to crawl into a hole.
He quickly pushed away the Anbu supporting him and charged forward, swinging the Adamantine Staff at the black metallic forest.
Clang!
The sharp metallic clash once again echoed through the night.
...
Meanwhile.
Tobi was preparing to extract the Nine-Tails.
Drawn by the distant explosions, he looked surprised.
"It seems Zero is holding off the two Hokages. I underestimated him."
Behind him, bound, dishevelled, and revealing large swathes of pale skin, Kushina was screaming in agony, black seals spreading across her stomach.
Swish!
A metal kunai suddenly shot through Tobi's body, phasing through.
"A space-time jutsu similar to mine?"
Minato appeared on the nearby ground, his eyes serious.
"Didn't expect you to follow me here, troublesome guy."
Tobi stared coldly at him, drawing out a metal chain.
...
On the other side.
Seeing the distant, sky-high explosions, a trace of satisfaction appeared in Pain's Rinnegan.
"It seems they've started over there."
"Such a commotion; I wonder if it's Madara or Zero. It's time for me to act as well."
He turned to Konan.
"Konan, stay here to support us. I'll handle Satoru Hyuga."
"Alright, be careful."
Konan advised.
"Don't worry, just a mere Magnet Release user. In the face of divine power, he can't stir up any trouble."
Tendo Pain's voice was cold.
Swish, swish, swish!
Six figures vanished from their spots.
...
At the Hyuga clan's compound.
The atmosphere was tense.
Under the night sky, the empty compound felt eerily quiet.
"So this is the Hyuga clan's compound?"
Tendo Pain scanned the surroundings.
"Different from the rest of Konoha, developing too quickly."
The six Paths of Pain entered the Hyuga compound, searching as they walked.
"Strange, why is there no one here?"
Tendo Pain frowned but soon relaxed.
"Fools, thinking they can escape the hunt of a god. Ridiculous."
Under the night sky, in the highest buildings of the compound, many Hyuga ninjas stood in neat rows, armed with sniper rifles, their Byakugan activated, ready and waiting.
"Are those the enemies Lord Satoru mentioned we need to repel?"
"Looks like they haven't noticed us yet."
"Be ready; wait for them to enter the firing range."
"Yes, Captain!"
...
In the thick night, Tendo Pain probably never expected that several hundred sniper rifles were already aimed at them.
Step by step...
They were gradually entering the Hyuga ninja's ambush range.
"Where is Satoru Hyuga hiding?"
"Did he deliberately avoid us after discovering our arrival? Seems like we need to make some noise to force him out."
Tendo Pain was about to act when suddenly, in the quiet night, sharp commands rang out.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, numerous gun barrels emerged from the darkness from the surrounding tall buildings, and a barrage of blue flashes erupted from the muzzles.
"Ridiculous! Daring to set up an ambush before a god?"
Gakido charged forward, raising his hand to absorb the chakra.
Blue flashes streaked by, but the expected scene of absorbed ninjutsu didn't occur.
Clang, clang, clang!
Gakido was riddled with bullets.
"Damn! This isn't ninjutsu???"
The remaining Pains tried to evade it, but it was too late, and they were getting shot one after another.
"Shinra Tensei!"
In a panic, Tendo Pain used repulsive force to deflect the bullets.
He looked back, and in just a moment, two Pains were destroyed.
As for Gakido, who had rushed out first to absorb the chakra, he was now a heap of flesh.
Tendo Pain was furious.
Damn it! Playing dirty, are we?
Seeing the state of the Pains, the Hyuga ninjas on the rooftops were stunned.
Didn't Lord Satoru say not to underestimate them?
Why are they so weak? Just one round of shooting and several are down?
And they seem a bit foolish...
Who would actively rush into the line of fire?
