Chapter 270 - Chapter 268: Arrogant Pain, the Hearts of Konoha's People Sink!

Uchiha Jin fell into thought.

However, after thinking for a long time, he still felt it was unlikely.

After all, the Three-Tails and Six-Tails had not yet been captured. Before capturing those two, the Akatsuki Organization shouldn't be focused on Konoha's Nine-Tailed.

Because Konoha's strength was the greatest, on one hand, capturing the Nine-Tailed now would be useless, and on the other hand, if they captured it now, they would not only have to keep it imprisoned for a long time but also guard against Konoha's subsequent frantic retaliation...

Considering all these factors, he didn't think the Akatsuki Organization would move against the Nine-Tailed at this stage!

To put it bluntly, the cost-performance ratio was too low.

However...

Although he couldn't figure out Akatsuki's goal for the time being, he still reported the matter to the Konoha High Command and the core figures of the Five Great Military Districts. Since Akatsuki's objective was unclear at this stage, he naturally wanted everyone in the Land of Fire to be on high alert.

Of course.

He also conveniently had the Anbu, who went to notify the Five Great Military Districts, carry quite a few of Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Many would be placed in the Five Great Military Districts, and many were even scattered along the various routes.

Uchiha Jin wanted to ensure that no matter which military district had a problem, Konoha's core powerhouses could instantly rush to any possible battlefield.

Yes!

This was one of the reasons Uchiha Jin wanted to resurrect Minato Namikaze!

After all, with Konoha divided into six, its core strength was naturally quite dispersed. Under these circumstances, the power of each military district was limited, and at best, they could only face a surprise attack from ordinary enemies. If it were a full-scale offensive by a force like the Akatsuki Organization, no single sub-district would be able to cope alone.

Therefore, in this situation, Minato Namikaze's position was very important.

Uchiha Jin didn't care about his combat strength; what he really cared about was his teleportation ability. It was enough as long as he could transfer Konoha's core forces to the target location where a battle was occurring in the shortest possible time!

And regarding this...

As Uchiha Jin's tasks were issued, the entire Konoha and the Five Great Military Districts began to tighten their internal security while maintaining a relaxed exterior.

After all, they had already experienced the strength of the Akatsuki Organization.

It was very strong!

At the very least, without Konoha's core combatants, it would be difficult for any single military district to contend with them alone.

...

Time passed slowly.

The Akatsuki Organization didn't make Uchiha Jin wait long. Just two days later, on an afternoon while Uchiha Jin was slacking off in the Hokage Office, the Six Paths of Pain appeared in the central area of Konoha.

First, the Barrier Team discovered them, and then the matter was immediately reported to the Hokage Office.

Following that.

The news was naturally relayed to the Hokage Office and core combatants like Senju Hashirama. Uchiha Jin and the others then set out, directly blocking the Six Paths of Pain as they made their move.

"Are you the leader of the Akatsuki Organization?"

"What exactly does your Akatsuki Organization want by coming to Konoha this time?"

"We will not hand over the Nine-Tailed. If you're smart, leave Konoha immediately!"

"..."

The various powerhouses who appeared on the scene naturally spoke up one after another.

Everyone's expression was very serious, and their eyes were filled with immense hostility, especially toward the Deva Path Pain in front of them.

And to this...

Deva Path Pain's expression remained very indifferent. Even though he was surrounded by everyone, he showed no sign of worry.

On the contrary.

He just glanced at everyone casually before speaking in a very calm tone.

"Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, Sakumo Hatake, Minato Namikaze..."

"I really didn't expect that your grand Konoha would do something that violates the order of Yin and Yang."

"The dead should sleep in the Pure Land. Your behavior is simply damnable!"

"However..."

"Does Konoha really think that with just this, you can oppose our Akatsuki Organization?"

"How naive!"

"I am a god!"

"Even if you ants calculate everything, it is still meaningless before a god!"

At this moment, Pain looked completely arrogant.

Clearly.

He truly viewed himself as a god. Even though Konoha had exposed its hidden foundations, Nagato didn't care in the slightest.

And to this...

Hearing Pain's words, Senju Hashirama and the others felt heavy-hearted.

After all, they hadn't fought Nagato before and had only heard a bit from Uchiha Jin. They didn't know Nagato's true strength, but seeing Pain's current attitude, they couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Could this Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, really be so powerful that he feared none of them?

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts sank slightly.

Only one person was an exception: Uchiha Jin!

Because only he truly knew Nagato's real strength, he knew very well that the person in front of him was just posturing. In reality, Nagato couldn't even defeat Senju Hashirama alone. In fact, as long as they understood the characteristics of all of Nagato's abilities, even Minato Namikaze and Senju Tobirama had enough strength to fight Nagato to a draw.

However, it was clear.

Uchiha Jin had no intention of speaking at this moment. Instead, he stood there calmly, and after a short silence, he finally spoke.

"Senior Hashirama, I'll leave this person to you!"

"None of us have fought him before, and we don't know his true strength for now."

"Test him first!"

With Uchiha Jin speaking, Senju Hashirama naturally had no objections.

Immediately after.

He stepped forward and blocked the Deva Path Pain's path.

Seeing this, Uchiha Jin quietly approached Minato Namikaze: "Find a way to transfer the Six Paths of Pain outside of Konoha. We can't have the battlefield in the center of Konoha, otherwise, regardless of whether we win or lose, Konoha will be the one to suffer."

"One last reminder: the repulsive force of the Deva Path Pain requires a five-second interval!"

Minato Namikaze nodded.

His gaze became very serious as he began to closely watch the battlefield.

The next second.

Senju Hashirama started his move!

Considering this was the core area of Konoha, he didn't dare use techniques that were too powerful and could only use Nintaijutsu to engage the Deva Path Pain.

After a brief exchange, Deva Path Pain became even more disdainful.

After all, in his eyes, Senju Hashirama's strength was only average and not nearly as powerful as others had boasted.

Because of this, he relaxed slightly.

But just then.

Minato Namikaze, who had been standing still, made his move. He flickered to the side of the Deva Path Pain, grabbed him, and directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In the next second.

He and the Deva Path Pain instantly vanished from the spot!
