Chapter 134: Konoha Will Absolutely Never Yield to You
Deva Path sneered, "Kakashi, although your Sharingan can see through my movements, your speed cannot keep up with me."
"Is that so?" Kakashi quickly dodged Deva Path's attacks while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
"Shinra Tensei!" Deva Path shouted, and a powerful force erupted from him, instantly destroying the surrounding buildings.
"Not good!" Kakashi quickly dodged the flying debris, but he was still hit by the aftershock, and his body flew a long way back.
"Senior Kakashi!" The shouts of Konoha Ninjas came from a distance.
"I'm fine." Kakashi struggled to get up from the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Deva Path, who was destroying the Village in the distance, a flash of determination in his eyes.
Just then, the squad led by Akimichi Choza arrived just in time.
"Kakashi, we're here to support you!" Choza shouted, leading his team members to attack Deva Path Pain.
"Shinra Tensei!" Deva Path Pain attacked again, repelling Choza and the others' attacks one by one.
However, with Choza and the others' coordination, Kakashi finally had a chance to breathe. He began to observe Deva Path Pain's attack patterns, trying to find a way to break through.
"Asura Path, go!" Seeing Kakashi observing him, Deva Path Pain commanded the Asura Path to launch an attack.
"Earth Release: Mud Wall!" Kakashi quickly formed Hand Seals, and a stone wall instantly appeared before him, blocking the Asura Path's attack.
"It seems your Sharingan is indeed not simple," Deva Path Pain sneered. "But can you see through my Shinra Tensei?"
"I've already seen through it," Kakashi said confidently. "Although your Shinra Tensei can repel all attacks, you need time to activate it. As long as I can attack you before you activate it, you won't be able to dodge."
"Hmph, then try it!" Deva Path Pain snorted coldly and launched another attack at Kakashi.
Just as Kakashi and Deva Path Pain were in the heat of battle, Shizune appeared with the intelligence she had obtained from the autopsy of a Pain corpse.
"Kakashi, this is the intelligence I found from the Pain corpse." Shizune handed a report to Kakashi. "I hope it will be of help to you."
Kakashi took the report, scanned it quickly, and then furrowed his brows tightly.
"This intelligence is very important," Kakashi said to Shizune. "However, we still need more information to uncover Pain's true identity."
Just then, Inoichi, who was in charge of intelligence work, also arrived at the scene.
"Kakashi, I have new intelligence," Inoichi said. "We may be close to the truth of the Pain mystery."
However, just as they finished speaking, the Animal Path and Human Path appeared before them.
"It seems you've found some interesting intelligence," the Animal Path sneered. "But you won't have the chance to pass this information on."
With that, the Animal Path and Human Path launched an attack on the Intelligence Division.
"Quick! Protect the intelligence!" Kakashi shouted, leading the Konoha Ninjas into a fierce battle with the Animal Path and Human Path.
However, the Animal Path and Human Path were extremely powerful, and their seamless coordination forced the Konoha Ninjas into a bitter struggle.
"We must get this intelligence to the Deciphering Department," Inoichi said to Shizune. "Only there can we uncover Pain's true identity."
"But how do we break through their blockade?" Shizune said anxiously.
"Watch me." Inoichi took a deep breath and then formed Hand Seals. "Inoichi Secret Art: Secret Tradition: Shadow Imitation Technique!"
With Inoichi's help, Shizune successfully broke free from the attacks of the Animal Path and Human Path and rushed toward the Deciphering Department.
Meanwhile, the Anbu elites led by Ibiki also discovered the movements of the Animal Path and Human Path.
"Anbu members!" Ibiki shouted. "For Konoha, for the Hokage! We must not let them succeed! Block them!"
"Ebisu-sensei, there's someone injured over there, let's go save him!" While guiding people to evacuate, Konohamaru noticed an injured Ninja.
"No, Konohamaru, our mission is to protect the civilians and ensure their safe evacuation!" Ebisu-sensei stopped him.
Just as the two were arguing, the Naraka Path quietly appeared before them.
"Konohamaru, you really are here," the Naraka Path sneered. "This time, I won't let you escape again."
Konohamaru and Ebisu immediately became tense; they knew how powerful the Naraka Path was.
"Ebisu-sensei, hurry and go! I'll hold him back!" Konohamaru stood in front of Ebisu, speaking without fear.
---Requesting Flowers--- "Konohamaru, say no more. As a teacher, how can I abandon my student and escape alone?" Ebisu-sensei shook his head firmly. "This time, let me protect you!"
After speaking, Ebisu-sensei launched an attack on the Naraka Path, trying to buy time for Konohamaru to escape. However, the Naraka Path's strength was far beyond his, quickly neutralizing his attack and knocking him heavily to the ground.
"Ebisu-sensei!" Konohamaru shouted, wanting to rush forward to help, but he was stopped by Ebisu-sensei.
"Konohamaru, don't come over! Remember, you are the future of Konoha! You must live on!" Ebisu-sensei said with difficulty. "Now, run!"
...Looking at Ebisu-sensei's determined eyes, Konohamaru remembered the promise he once made with Byakuya.
"Big Brother Byakuya, you said that the Will of Fire is the spirit passed down forever by Konoha Ninjas. Now, for Konoha and for the Will of Fire, I will stand up and protect our home!" Konohamaru clenched his fists, his eyes shining with determined light.
He took a deep breath, gathered his courage, and challenged the Naraka Path.
On the roof of the Hokage Building, Tsunade confronted Deva Path Pain.
"Tsunade, as long as you hand over the Nine-Tailed, I can stop this war," Deva Path Pain said coldly.
"In your dreams!" Tsunade refused without hesitation. "The Nine-Tailed is Konoha's Tailed Beast; I will never hand it over to you!"
Deva Path Pain sneered, "Do you think I won't find it if you don't speak? The Human Path has already seen through Naruto's location; he is currently at Mount Myōboku."
Tsunade's expression changed; she hadn't expected Pain's abilities to be so powerful.
"Tsunade, you are the Hokage of Konoha; you should think of Konoha," Deva Path Pain continued. "This war will only cause more harm to your villagers. Why not hand over the Nine-Tailed? I guarantee I will stop the war immediately."
Tsunade clenched her fists, looking at the rising number of casualties, she gritted her teeth in hatred. "Pain, you will not have a good end! Konoha will never yield to you!"
"Hmph, then let me show you what true Pain is!" Deva Path Pain snorted coldly and then formed Hand Seals with both hands. "Shinra Tensei!"
