Chapter 280: A Great Battle
Chapter 280: A Great Battle
In Konohagakure.
Hokage’s office.
After seeing Tsunade, Kakashi gave a detailed report of his encounter with Obito on the monument and told Tsunade about Akatsuki’s invasion of Konoha.
Unfortunately, Obito had already left.
Tsunade sighed. It was meaningless to send more people to surround Obito, not to mention that Akatsuki’s organization could invade at any time.
“Obito said that only two people will invade Konoha?”
Tsunade closed her palm and looked up at Kakashi, whispering, “Do you think what he said is credible?”
“Strictly speaking, according to Jiraiya-sama’s information, there should be eight people will be invading. After all, Six Paths of Pain is also very powerful.” (TL note: 6 Pains + Konan and Nagato = Eight people)
After Kakashi finished speaking, he frowned and continued, “There should be some credibility to Obito’s words. After all, he needs our help to deal with Nagato. He should not lie about this.”
“If what he said is accurate enough…”
Tsunade slowly clenched her hands and looked at Konoha outside the window, “After we deal with the invasion of Nagato and Konan, should we continue to prepare for the invasion of Uehara?”
“Yes.”
Kakashi nodded and whispered, “Hokage-sama, if Uehara’s strength is really as strong as Obito said, we must be prepared in advance. After all, we have seen Uehara’s strength.”
“Yes…”
Tsunade sighed faintly and whispered, “That little brat can defeat you and Guy and even defeat Jiraiya in Sage mode. He is a strong ninja. I didn’t expect that he still didn’t use his full strength?”
“That’s right.”
Kakashi slowly pulled on his ninja forehead protector and said in a low voice, “Because Uehara himself belongs to the type of ninja that if he fights a powerful ninja, his strength will become stronger accordingly…”
Not to mention anything else.
In the chunin exam, Uehara could steal Guy’s technique at will and then defeat Guy in the Shock Gate state.
That ability was too powerful.
If he could steal anyone’s technique, who knew how powerful Uehara would be? Moreover, his own strength was very strong, and he might even have a Bloodline Limit that he had developed himself.
“Forget it.”
Tsunade frowned and looked at Kakashi. She softly said, “Right now, the most important thing for us is to get rid of Nagato and Konan. We can wait until the war ends…”
Tsunade slowly clenched her hands and whispered, “I’m just worried when Akatsuki will attack…”
Konohagakure outer defense area.
A rustle of footsteps could be heard.
The Konoha Ninjas raised their head in surprise. Every Ninja could not help but raise their vigilance. Their eyes gradually shifted to the forest, watching shadows walk out of the forest.
The sunlight gradually fell.
Six orange-haired men wearing a black robe with red clouds and a woman with light blue hair wearing the same appeared in front of this group of Konoha Ninjas step by step, standing outside their line of defense.
It was the paper clones of Konan and Six Paths of Pain.
“That is… Akatsuki!”
The two teams of Konoha Ninjas in charge of the defense in this area looked at Six Paths of Pain with terror. They immediately split up to block him, and the other team went to the village to report.
Shurado(Asura Path) Pain stretched out his palm, and one cruise missile after another flew out from his arm, blowing up the group of Konoha Ninjas!
However, this movement also aroused the vigilance of the surroundings ninja!
One of the Konoha Ninjas took the lead in firing the signal flare before the missile arrived.
The red warning flare flashed in the air for a few seconds!
There must be someone in Konoha who can see this red warning flare, and they will undoubtedly be prepared.
There was also a lucky Konoha Ninja who quickly rolled into the forest, running in the direction of Konoha!
Six Paths of Pain did not seem to care about all this.
Initially, they planned to attack Konoha directly.
Konan frowned, looked at the red signal flare in the air, and whispered, “In this case, Konoha will definitely be on guard.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Tendo Pain gently shook his head and softly said, “When they find out that they can’t defeat me even if they try their best, they will realize what is real horror.”
“…”
Konan slowly shook her head.
Seeing that her expression was not very good, Tendo Pain explained, “Konoha has always been very vigilant. The internal defense has been in a state of war, and it is very tight.
I will launch an attack here with great fanfare. When their elite forces leave Konoha and come to kill us, I will use the Animal Path to sneak into Konoha, summoning all of us into Konoha and luring them away.
This explanation was barely qualified.
Konan frowned and looked at Tendo Pain. Do you really have this plan? Didn’t you come up with this plan to deceive me?
The Human Path Pain slowly walked up, reached out his palm and pressed on the head of a heavily injured Konoha Ninja, and activated the Absorption Soul Technique.
After Pain extracted the soul of this Konoha Ninja, he slowly turned to look at Konan, “Kyuubi Jinchuriki Naruto, is now in the Konohagakure. It seems like this trip will definitely be fruitful.”
“That’s good.”
Konan nodded, her eyes filled with worry, “I wonder how Uehara is doing? They should be reaching Kumogakure soon, right?”
“They should be faster.”
Tendo Pain said softly, “Maybe they have already captured Kumogakure.”
…
On Konohagakure’s side, the boss of Akatsuki’s organization had already made his move.
On Country of Lightning’s side, Uehara and the others were still entangled with Deidara’s Clay Dragon.
Because after this Clay Dragon flew past Country of Lightning’s border, a huge wind blew it to the ground. The entire dragon began to collapse and disintegrate, and countless clay fell from the sky.
If not for Uehara quickly catching Sasori and Sasuke, both of them would have been buried by Deidara’s clay dragon.
“Hey, do you want to kill us?”
Sasuke looked at Deidara with a face full of anger and then looked at the clay dragon that had fallen apart and piled up into a small white mountain on the ground. If they were accidentally buried, they would probably be goners!
“Don’t talk to me…”
Deidara rode a giant clay bird to the ground with a sad face. Looking at the clay dragon that had completely fallen apart, there was an unspeakable grievance on his face.
This was something he had worked hard to squeeze out!
Moreover, he diligently added clay to the dragon along the way. Why did it fall apart after just passing the border?
He was so sorry for him!
Uehara rubbed his forehead. According to the news from Kabuto and the others, Six Paths of Pain had already started to make a move in the outer defense area of Konoha. On their side, they were still accompanying a retard at Country of Lightning’s border to grieve for his art.
Damn, what nonsense!
Uehara rubbed his forehead and looked at the sad Deidara. He softly asked for his opinion, “Why don’t we listen to its sound?”
“…”
Sasuke and Sasori looked at each other in confusion.
“Yes!”
Deidara’s eyes lit up. He nodded quickly and raised his finger to his lips, “Then we can only see the true charm of my art! Art… is an explosion!”
“Wait for us to go further away!”
Sasori grabbed Deidara’s clothes and turned to look at Uehara, “Uehara, summon your Summoned Beast. Let’s hurry up and complete this mission.”
“En!”
Uehara hurriedly nodded.
The next moment, a huge ancient dragon landed beside them. After bringing them into the air, it casually threw down a huge fireball and detonated the pile of clay mountains.
After sitting on the ancient dragon.
Uehara finally calmed down. He raised his fingers little by little, and his will fell on Obito, watching the war on the other side where Pain invaded Konoha.
At this moment.
The Konohagakure was in an orderly manner.
After the Konoha Ninjas received the news of Six Paths of Pain’s invasion, they immediately began to act according to the original plan. They should organize civilians to take refuge and meet the enemy.
When Jiraiya heard the news, he subconsciously frowned and said, “Is it only Six Paths of Pain and Konan? Didn’t you see Nagato?”
“No.”
Tsunade shook her head and said in a low voice, “According to the report from the front, there are only six orange-haired Rinnegan Ninjas and a blue-haired female ninja.”
“Tsk, he’s hiding!”
Jiraiya tightened his attire and said softly, “Let’s go meet Six Paths of Pain and Konan first. The other ninjas go to search for Nagato and check if he is nearby.”
Jiraiya slowly took off his “oil” forehead protector, took the forehead protector that symbolizes Konoha from Tsunade’s hand, and put it on his forehead.
Fukasaku and Shima jumped on Jiraiya’s shoulder. They had been staying in Konoha, ready to fight at any time.
Standing behind Jiraiya.
All of them were Konoha’s strongest elite force.
Kakashi, Naruto, Guy, Lee, and two other external assistants – Fifth Kazekage Gaara and Fifth Mizukage Terumi.
What they needed to do was to disperse Six Paths of Pain and attack him.
The other Konoha Ninjas, Suna Ninja, and Kiri Ninja were divided into seven combat groups, mainly assisting them in fighting a certain Pain puppet.
“Let’s go!”
Jiraiya tidied up the ninja uniform that he had not worn in a long time and led everyone out of Hokage’s building one by one, heading to the area where Pain had invaded.
Jiraiya jumped to the side and glanced at Naruto, following closely behind him. He asked softly, “Hey, Naruto, how are your preparations over there?”
“Oh, more than ten shadow clones are absorbing natural energy from Mount Myoboku.”
Naruto slowly nodded and replied loudly, “It should be able to last for a long time! There should be no problem!”
“Then let’s go!”
Jiraiya jumped onto a building and looked at the smoke coming from the distance. The others also stood beside him.
Behind them, there were seven large combat groups. Each combat group had at least several hundred ninjas, ready to split up and support them at any time.
In another area.
The head of the Hyuga clan, Hinata, led the sensory troops of the Hyuga, Inusuka, and Aburame clans, searching everywhere for Nagato’s position.
On Hokage Rock.
Kabuto and Impure World Reincarnation of Minato and Obito watched as the Ninja Army, under the leadership of Jiraiya and the other two, flooded out of Konoha.
“What a great battle!”
Kabuto pushed up his glasses and said with a chuckle, “Konoha, Suna, and Kiri combine forces against the leader of Akatsuki. Who will win in the end?”
