Deva Path Pain finally waited for the cooldown time!
A surge of immense repulsive force instantly erupted within the intestinal tract of the Iwayado Giant Toad!
Bang!
The intestinal wall of the Iwayado Toad eventually ruptured!
However, the bizarre thing was...
These intestines actually remained in place and did not disappear like other summoned beasts upon suffering significant damage; it was evident that the harm seemed to be of little consequence.
"Hmm?"
Deva Path Pain furrowed his brows.
Within the intestinal tract.
Jiraiya swiftly dashed along the passage. Based on his memory, if he infiltrated the deepest part of the Akatsuki Hideout, he would be able to locate Nagato!
"This is really lucky..."
Jiraiya even glanced back.
The figures of several Pains trailed behind him; they had already caught up!
Jiraiya saw those pursuing Pains, but none of them were Deva Path Pain; he relaxed a bit, even manipulating the toad intestine walls to wriggle and obstruct the pursuing Pains.
The depths of the Akatsuki Hideout.
Nagato frowned lightly and sighed softly.
This time, he didn't choose the right battlefield. To avoid changing the Akatsuki's hideout, Deva Path Pain couldn't deploy full strength, inadvertently giving Jiraiya a chance to break free from the encirclement of the Pain Six Paths.
"What's wrong, Nagato?"
Konan glanced at Nagato with concern.
"It's nothing."
"Open the door and send me out."
Nagato shook his head, looked outside, and softly said, "Jiraiya-sensei broke free from the encirclement of the Pain Six Paths and is heading deeper into the hideout..."
"How is that possible..."
Konan didn't believe their teacher had the ability to break through Pain.
"I picked the wrong battlefield, causing Deva Path Pain to not exert full power."
Nagato shook his head and continued, "Don't worry, no matter what, the ending of this story won't come as a surprise. He wants to infiltrate the depth of the hideout, just right; he can't possibly escape..."
The depths of the Akatsuki Hideout.
A gigantic Gedo Statue stood inside.
Jiraiya quietly slipped out of the intestines of the Iwayado Giant Toad, gazing at the Gedo Statue, sensing the terrifying Chakra aura within.
"Phew... let's deal with Nagato first."
Jiraiya had a faint illusion.
Pain and Nagato were the same person, yet their personalities seemed split. Perhaps he couldn't persuade Pain, but there was the illusion that he might persuade Nagato.
No...
Not right...
This was an illusion.
Nagato could not be persuaded.
No matter what, Nagato was the source of turmoil in the Ninja World; he must be dealt with first.
Now, Pain Six Paths was temporarily trapped in the stomach walls of the Iwayado Giant Toad; he must quickly find Nagato's location...
Jiraiya stepped deeper into the Akatsuki Hideout.
Jiraiya saw a room lit by light; its door was already opened, and a gaunt man in a wheelchair was waiting inside.
"Nagato."
Jiraiya's pace gradually slowed, and his voice regained composure: "Now all your puppets are trapped by me. If you are willing to give up that pointless plan and release all the tailed beasts captured by the Akatsuki Organization..."
"Jiraiya-sensei."
Nagato shook his head, interrupting him: "God cannot be trapped; the Pain Six Paths being trapped within the toad stomach wall is merely your own illusion..."
"I forgot to tell you one thing..."
Nagato clasped his hands, the red hair hanging before his eyes, blocking his gaze: "As the original body of the Rinnegan, I can use all the abilities of the Pain Six Paths. It's not that you trapped my puppets, but you were drawn here by me..."
"Ninpo..."
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Accompanied by Nagato's palms spreading open!
One by one, orange-haired figures were directly summoned to his presence!
Six Pains lifted their heads to gaze at Jiraiya, and the Rinnegan in their eye sockets appeared soulless, yet this scene was particularly terrifying!
The next moment!
Deva Path and Asura Path charged toward Jiraiya!
The other Pains followed behind them in formation, constantly monitoring Jiraiya's every move!
"Not good!"
Seeing the appearances of Pains one after another, Jiraiya felt his spirit fade, and instinctively began to retreat swiftly!
This was not an opportunity to solve Nagato; rather, it was a trap set by Nagato to lure him deeper into the Akatsuki Hideout!
Screech!
Jiraiya's arm was suddenly cut open with a long wound; Asura Path's kick landed on Jiraiya, and the Pain Six Paths closed in around him!
Upon the oil lamp in the depths of the Akatsuki Hideout.
A small white snake coiled on the lamp's base, quietly watching Jiraiya being hunted by the six Pains, even idly flicking its small tail.
"Hiss hiss..."
