“Pain? Yet my pain surpasses yours!”
Tendo Pain descended in front of the Third Hokage, his tone cold and mocking.
“I will never forgive you!”
The Third Hokage, gripping the iron staff transformed from Enma, prepared to charge at Tendo Pain, determined to avenge the fallen Konoha ninja.
But before he could take a step, the Animal Path Pain landed from the sky, slamming his hands onto the ground and summoning the remaining four Paths of Pain.
“Don’t worry, Konoha is just the first. Sunagakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure will all fall, too.”
The Asura Path extended six mechanical arms from its body, with sharp saw-like blades emerging from its back. After a fierce exchange, the Third Hokage was forced to retreat.
Even with the powerful Adamantine Staff of Enma in hand, the Third Hokage’s aged body was no longer at its peak. After such an intense battle, he was only able to continue fighting due to the effects of the **Military Ration Pill**.
What made it worse was the shared vision of the Six Paths of Pain, leaving no blind spots—making close combat almost impossible to win.
“Missile Tracker!”
The moment the Third Hokage was pushed back, the Asura Path fired a missile, homing in on him.
“Not good!”
The Third Hokage tried to use ninjutsu to detonate the missile early, but his body stiffened. His chakra, which he had been barely maintaining with the Military Ration Pill, had once again run dry. His aged body was now at its absolute limit.
“Third Hokage-sama!”
The Konoha ninja, struggling to stand from the rubble, shouted in desperation as they watched the Hokage in danger. But all of them had been gravely injured by the **Chibaku Tensei**, barely able to stand, let alone provide any assistance.
Just as the missile was about to strike the Third Hokage, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
“Transfiguration!”
Leo pointed a finger at the missile, casting a transfiguration spell. The missile instantly transformed into a rock, which Leo then casually shattered with a kick.
“Sensei, you should rest now. Leave the rest to me!”
Relieved by Leo’s arrival, the Third Hokage quickly relayed all the information he had gathered about the Six Paths of Pain during their battle.
“These six may just be puppets. There’s likely a real controller behind them. Be careful.”
With those words, the Third Hokage retreated to a safe distance, knowing he no longer had the strength to fight. Staying any longer would only hinder Leo.
Tendo Pain, seeing Leo’s arrival, positioned the Naraka Path behind him while placing the Asura Path in the front. The Animal Path, Human Path, and Preta Path moved to protect his sides.
“So, you must be the strongest ninja in Konoha. If I eliminate you, Konoha will be completely destroyed.”
Having just used the **Chibaku Tensei**, Tendo’s abilities had not yet fully recovered. For now, he planned to test Leo using the Asura Path.
“Sawblade Strike!”
The Asura Path lunged forward at high speed, extending multiple sharp saws from its arm, aiming directly at Leo.
But this time, Leo decided to stop holding back. He immediately activated his second form, entering **Sage Mode**.
“Get lost!”
Without dodging, Leo threw a straightforward punch at the approaching Asura Path.
It was a simple, direct punch with no tricks. The Asura Path clearly saw the punch coming—there was no need for shared vision, as the trajectory was obvious.
Yet, despite the Asura Path seeing the punch, it couldn’t dodge.
**BOOM!**
At the moment of impact, Leo’s punch suddenly accelerated, breaking the sound barrier with a sonic boom. His massive fist obliterated the Asura Path’s body in an instant.
Even if you can see the attack coming, if you can’t match the speed, it’s useless. You could be told a punch is coming to your head, but if it’s too fast, you still won’t avoid it.
“Just as Zetsu said, your taijutsu is indeed powerful!”
Seeing the Asura Path destroyed in a single blow, the Animal Path quickly summoned its remains back, allowing the Naraka Path to start the revival process.
Leo, noticing the summoning, realized that simply destroying the bodies wasn’t enough—Pain could just summon them back.
“So they can summon the broken ones back… I guess I’ll have to take care of you first.”
Leo moved in a blur, charging directly at the Animal Path.
In response, the Animal Path slammed its hands on the ground, summoning eight massive creatures to block Leo’s path.
“Sword Technique: Sword Wheel!”
With a mere thought, Leo’s magical flying swords formed into two spinning wheels that instantly shredded through the summoned creatures. Seven of them dissipated into smoke, while the last, the splitting dog, divided into two and lunged at Leo.
“Avada Kedavra!”
Leo casually cast the Killing Curse, instantly eliminating the splitting dog.
The dog’s body would normally split endlessly when attacked, making it the most troublesome of the Animal Path’s summons. But by destroying its soul, Leo had bypassed its physical division ability entirely.
“What!”
Nagato, controlling the Animal Path, was stunned to see his powerful summons defeated so quickly.
In the brief moment of his shock, Leo closed the distance and punched a hole straight through the Animal Path, tossing the body aside.
In mere seconds, Leo had taken down both the Asura Path and the Animal Path, leaving the Konoha ninja, who had just crawled from the wreckage, in awe. They had all experienced firsthand how powerful and difficult the Six Paths of Pain were to fight.
“Laser Cannon!”
The recently revived Asura Path fired a destructive laser beam at Leo.
“Teleport!”
Leo teleported directly in front of the Naraka Path, aiming to eliminate the one that could revive the others. But just as he was about to strike, the Human Path extended its hands toward him, ready to extract his soul.
Since Pain knew Leo could teleport, he had prepared for this exact situation.
No matter how strong Leo’s body was, it wouldn’t be able to resist having its soul extracted.
But Leo only smiled in response to the Human Path’s attempt.
“Since you love extracting souls so much, here—have mine. Out-of-body Soul!”
As the Human Path activated its ability, Leo’s spirit, already refined into a human form, willingly left his body, hurling a fiery red orb straight at the Human Path.
