Chương 146: Chp-146: The Birth of the Veteran Six
"Damn it! Pre-arranged ambushes?"
This underhanded tactic clearly angered Tendo Pain.
Enraged, he had lost his previous composure.
Naraka Path summoned the King of Hell and had it devour the remnants of Preta Path, which it began to chew.
On the high-rise buildings, preparations for the second round of shooting were already underway.
"Don't give them a chance to recover! Prepare..."
"Fire!"
Boom, boom, boom!
A large number of blue flashes burst from the night once again.
"Damn it, do they think the same tactic will work twice?"
Tendo Pain roared, raising his hand sharply.
"Shinra Tensei!"
The terrifying, repulsive Force that erupted instantly seemed to distort the air. Bullets slowed down, gradually halting mid-air in front of him.
Clang, clang, clang...
The bullets, their kinetic energy spent, fell to the ground with a series of metallic clinks.
"What kind of jutsu is this? Even bullets can't penetrate it..."
"Doesn't matter, just keep firing!"
"Change formation. Prepare for the third round!"
Realising that single volleys were ineffective, the well-trained Hyuga ninjas began altering their formation.
Instead of firing in unison, they lined up so that after the front row fired, the next would immediately follow with another volley.
The retreating Hyuga ninjas quickly reloaded, rejoining the queue at the back.
Thus, the sniper rifles kept up a continuous barrage, creating a rain of bullets.
Though the density of each volley was lower, the sustained attack could continuously pressure the enemy.
This was especially effective against Pain, whose abilities had cooldown periods.
"Damn it! These sneaky bastards!"
Tendo Pain was exasperated.
Who would have thought they'd have such tactics?
His Shinra Tensei had a five-second cooldown. Even if it could momentarily block all attacks, the five-second gap was enough to be troublesome.
While the Hyuga ninjas' sniper rifles were less powerful individually than those made by Satoru, they had numbers on their side.
For now, they suppressed Pain completely.
Like a drenched rat, Pain was dodging bullets, leaping through the alleyways.
Fortunately, the Pains were puppet bodies; unless they suffered incapacitating damage, they wouldn't be destroyed.
Ordinary ninjas in this situation would already be down.
On the tallest high-rise, Satoru Hyuga smiled with satisfaction.
The Hyuga unit he had trained for so long was finally showing its potential.
He was quite pleased with the results.
Of course, the success was largely due to the intelligence gap and the perfect synergy between the sniper rifles and the Byakugan, causing significant losses for Pain.
Had both sides known each other's capabilities in advance, the outcome wouldn't have been as impressive.
After being toyed with by the veteran unit for a while, the enraged Pain began to fight back.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Animal Path slammed its hand on the ground, summoning a massive three-headed hellhound that appeared under the night sky in the compound and crushed several buildings.
Thankfully, Satoru had already evacuated the clan members, or there would have been heavy casualties.
The enormous body and regenerative properties of the summon immediately shielded against numerous bullets.
With a moment's respite.
Asura Path raised its hand, mechanisms whirring, launching a barrage of rockets towards the high-rise buildings.
In the rear, Naraka Path summoned the King of Hell, seizing the opportunity to revive the Pains who had been turned to pulp.
Satoru Hyuga rolled his eyes in exasperation.
What a strange battlefield.
Leaving aside the sniper rifles, where did Asura Path get those rockets from?
Is this a Rinnegan ability?
Or has the ninja world's tech tree been misaligned?
He knew he couldn't just watch. If he allowed Pain to defeat them one by one, the newly formed veteran unit would be decimated today.
Besides, he didn't want the battle to take place in the compound.
Reconstruction is expensive!
The swiftly flying rockets suddenly veered mid-air, as if controlled by an invisible hand, and flew straight back to Asura Path.
Boom!
Caught off guard, Asura Path was engulfed by its own attack.
"Didn't anyone tell you not to use metal in front of me?"
Satoru Hyuga hovered in the air, rolling his eyes at the now-destroyed Asura Path.
"So it's you!"
Tendo Pain glared at Satoru Hyuga, immediately launching an attack.
"Bansho Ten'in!"
A powerful gravitational pull yanked Satoru Hyuga downwards.
Is he manipulating gravity?
I wonder how it compares to my electromagnetic Force.
Electromagnetic Force, activate!
Satoru Hyuga applied an electromagnetic push to his body, breaking free of the powerful gravitational pull and soaring upwards.
Tendo Pain was left pulling at thin air.
For the first time, his Bansho Ten'in had failed.
He stared dumbfounded at Satoru Hyuga ascending into the sky.
What's going on?
I used Bansho Ten'in, right? Why is he flying higher?
The Hyuga ninjas on the high-rise buildings were elated at Satoru Hyuga's appearance.
"It's Lord Satoru! So cool!"
"As expected of Lord Satoru, even that strange jutsu is useless!"
...
"Let's take this outside."
"Fighting here would be a hassle for repairs."
Satoru Hyuga hovered in the air, coldly overlooking Tendo Pain.
With his subordinates watching, he couldn't afford to lose face; he had to look cool!
Tendo Pain's previous calm was gone; he wished he could drag Satoru Hyuga down and tear him apart.
In an underground cave hundreds of miles away, Nagato gritted his teeth, his Rinnegan almost bleeding with rage.
"How dare a mere human insult a god..."
Seeing Pain unmoving, Satoru Hyuga didn't wait and flew towards the distance.
"Chase him!"
Seeing this, Pain immediately began pursuing Satoru Hyuga.
Their mission was to deal with Satoru Hyuga, and after that ambush, Nagato's anger had peaked.
If he didn't tear Satoru Hyuga apart, he couldn't quell his fury.
Leaving the shattered Asura Path behind, the remaining five Pains leapt through the compound, chasing Satoru Hyuga.
Suddenly, a sniper shot rang out, piercing through Human Path's chest, causing it to fall.
"What are you doing?"
In the ambush spot on the high-rise, the leading Hyuga ninja slapped the head of the one who fired.
"Didn't you see that Lord Satoru's goal was to lure them away? Why did you shoot? What if they turn back?"
"Captain, I saw they were unguarded and couldn't help but shoot..."
The reprimanded ninja awkwardly scratched his head.
On the other side, Naraka Path summoned the King of Hell, its tongue rolling out to devour the fallen Human Path.
It glared viciously at the spot from which the shot was fired.
Without pausing, it continued chasing Satoru Hyuga.
