"Summoning Jutsu."
Under Nagato's control, Pain quickly formed hand seals. As several clouds of white smoke rose, five more figures wearing black cloaks with red clouds appeared in front of Jie.
"?"
Speak of the devil?
Seeing this, Jie could not help raising an eyebrow.
He had just been thinking that since the Naruto world was now a real world, its abilities would more or less differ from what the original story had shown.
He did not expect the difference to appear the moment that thought crossed his mind.
"Summoning Jutsu. If I remember correctly, that should be the Animal Path's ability."
"I didn't expect the Deva Path Pain to be able to use the Animal Path's ability too. Does that mean the Deva Path can use all of the Rinnegan's abilities?"
Jie thought to himself.
If it was only one Pain, his strength was decent, but once Jie got serious, it would only take one or two slashes.
But now that all Six Paths of the Rinnegan had gathered, that was not something one or two slashes could solve. Based on Jie's estimate, it would take at least six or seven slashes.
After all, mistakes could happen. He had to leave some room.
Still, all Six Paths together were indeed far stronger than a single Deva Path Pain. Under Nagato's control, any one of the Six Paths could display strength beyond Kage-level.
And six enemies beyond Kage-level, sharing vision and acting in perfect coordination?
Aside from Jie, probably no one would want to face an opponent like that.
"Interesting. Very interesting."
Jie nodded, a trace of excitement rising in his heart.
It had been a long time since he felt this way. He wondered whether the Six Paths of Pain could finally make him fight seriously.
"Jie Uchiha, prepare to experience pain."
"The power of God's Eyes is not something you can match."
Deva Path Pain slowly straightened up and looked at Jie calmly.
"Trash from the old era like you only deserve to be crushed into dust in the new era where peace is destined to arrive, becoming a stepping stone for that peace."
"So prepare to say goodbye to this world."
Being stared at by six pairs of Rinnegan at the same time while six different puppets spoke the exact same words in front of him...
If it were someone who did not know the truth, they might have lost their nerve instantly.
Even Itachi, who was not Pain's target, could not help feeling a chill down his back when he heard six people with different appearances speak the same words.
"There are actually six of them. Is Pain not a single person, but an organization?"
"There is another organization hidden inside the Akatsuki? That is unbelievable. And there are actually six pairs of Rinnegan at the same time. This is simply impossible."
Seeing the six Pains, Itachi's mind immediately started racing.
"Animal Path: Summoning Jutsu!"
A ninja with black rods inserted into his face quickly formed hand seals.
Large clouds of white smoke rose, and several huge summoned beasts immediately appeared in front of Jie.
The massive summoned beasts roared. With just one step, they crushed the leaders' platform to pieces. Then, under the Animal Path's command, they charged straight toward Jie.
"Split Dog, chameleon, rhinoceros, centipede. ...Still the same old ones. Nothing new."
The summoned beasts were enormous and looked very intimidating, but to Jie, they were nothing special.
After all, their abilities were only so-so.
Aside from the Split Dog's ability to divide and regenerate, the others had no special abilities beyond simple strength.
The chameleon could change its color and hide its movements, but under Jie's Mangekyō Sharingan and Thousand-Pupil Byakugan, the huge amount of chakra inside its body was like a lamp in the dark, exposing it completely.
Jie drew the Kusanagi Sword again and casually swung it several times at the summoned beasts. Several pale-white sword lights flashed past.
In the next instant, huge, smooth cuts appeared across the bodies of the summoned beasts.
Then a light breeze blew by, and the beasts were immediately cut in two. Even the Split Dog was no exception.
Aside from the Split Dog, which was still struggling as strange changes began appearing across its body, the other summoned beasts had already lost all signs of life.
Seeing Jie's strength, the Animal Path did not dare be careless. Its hands moved again and again, summoning more beasts one after another.
But to Jie, no matter how many summoned beasts came, each one was still only a single slash.
Even the giant panda meant specifically for defense was no different from an ordinary sheet of paper under Jie's Kusanagi Sword.
Seeing Jie slaughter the summoned beasts, Nagato immediately understood that he could not let Jie keep killing like this.
Otherwise, the many summoned beasts he had gone through so much trouble to obtain would all be wiped out in this battle.
Under Nagato's control, the Asura Path immediately stepped forward. It pulled off its wrist and yanked it outward.
Several missiles instantly appeared in front of Jie.
"Using missiles in the Naruto world... I really don't know whether the tech tree got crooked, or Nagato is the one who truly mastered core technology."
Seeing those missiles, Jie could not help making a comment.
This was supposed to be the Naruto world, where everyone trained chakra. Orochimaru appearing as a research freak who had mastered advanced technology was still understandable.
After all, Orochimaru's research was about how to use it on himself. At least that could still be connected to chakra and the body.
But why could the Asura Path of the Six Paths of Pain use modern weapons like missiles?
Besides, electric lights had already started becoming common in Konoha, yet even the simplest telephone still did not exist.
The tech tree was crooked to a ridiculous degree.
Now that Jie had seen the fully armed technological weapons on the Asura Path's body, he immediately made up his mind.
The Asura Path could be taken apart, but he had to preserve the original craftsmanship.
If he handed the Asura Path to Orochimaru and let him study it properly, the technology of the Naruto world might advance by ten years at once.
Thinking this, Jie took out several kunai from his ninja tool pouch.
"Manipulated Shuriken Technique!"
The kunai instantly left Jie's hand and shot straight toward the Asura Path.
Seeing the terrifying waves of air around them, the Animal Path did not hesitate. It summoned the Split Dog in front of itself.
Pfft!
Several sounds of flesh being pierced rang out as the kunai shot straight through the Split Dog's body.
However, after piercing through the Split Dog, the kunai no longer had enough force behind them and dropped weakly in front of the Asura Path.
But this was exactly what Jie wanted.
"Flying Thunder God!"
Jie's figure vanished from where he stood and instantly appeared in front of the Asura Path.
Several flashes of light passed by.
Before any of the Pains could react, the Asura Path had already been completely disassembled by Jie.
Then Jie went back to his old work. He took out a sealing scroll from his ninja tool pouch and sealed all of the Asura Path's parts inside it.
"Done."
