Three Days Later — Kansai Plains
" Ahem, this is the fight between the leader of Akatsuki, Pain, and the clan leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Itachi. If Pain wins the fight, then the Uchiha clan will join Akatsuki unconditionally, and if Itachi wins the fight, then Akatsuki will surrender to the Uchiha clan nominally and will not harm or hinder the Uchiha clan.
This fight will be witnessed by Kisame, Kakuzu, Sasori, Orochimaru, Zetsu, Biwa Juzo and Konan from Akatsuki, and Shisui, Sasuke, Natsuki and me from the Uchiha clan. This fight will continue until one side is unable to fight, and one can only interfere if there is a threat to life. Now, I request everyone to leave some space for the protagonist. " Obito, who acted as a mediator, said calmly.
Summoning Jutsu : Six Paths of Pain
" Uchiha Itachi, let's have a fair fight. "
Deva Path, after summoning the other Paths of Pain, said to Itachi in a cold tone.
" Likewise, " Itachi responded with a smile.
Shinra Tensei
The next moment, Deva Path blasted Itachi and the nearby forest hundreds of meters away. Seeing the scale of the attack, Kakuzu and the others were once again impressed. Nagato's casual attack was comparable to their final attack.
Fire Style : Great Fireball Jutsu
The next moment, Itachi spurted out three-story-high fireballs towards Nagato. Although Itachi knew that Nagato could absorb normal jutsu and even a certain limit of Sage chakra jutsu, as an Uchiha he still had to perform this jutsu.
Preta Path : Chakra Absorption Technique
Animal Path : Summoning Jutsu
Multi-Headed Dog
Giant Bird
Giant Rhino
Giant Ox
Chameleon
Crustacean
Asura Path : Missile Barrage
The next moment, Preta Path jumped in front of the huge fireball and started absorbing it quickly. While it was busy absorbing, the Animal Path quickly summoned its six summoning beasts, out of which the Chameleon swallowed the Naraka Path and became invisible, thus protecting the healer. The other summoning beasts rushed towards Itachi by land, sea, or air, and while the summoning beasts were covering Itachi's field of vision, the Asura Path stretched his fingers forward, which split apart, and multiple rockets rushed out of them and flew towards Itachi in an unconventional way.
Itachi, seeing the attacks coming, smiled bitterly. Only three Paths had attacked, and now he felt that he was fighting multiple Kage-level ninjas. In his previous life he had read many fanfics which described the other Paths of Pain, other than Deva Path, as Jonin level, but now just seeing the surface, Itachi could conclude that they had at least quasi-Kage to Kage-level strength. As for how Konohamaru could destroy Naraka Path, well, he is the grandson of the Strongest Hokage.
Flying Thunder God
The next moment, Itachi disappeared from his position, appearing five hundred meters away. As for when he marked the seal of Flying Thunder God, well, he did it in the past few days.
BOOM !!!
The next moment, the sound of rocket explosions along with the sound of huge giants clashing rang in Itachi's ears. The next moment, the summoning beasts, as if sensing Itachi, started moving again. The bird took flight again, moving rapidly as if to impale Itachi with its huge beak. As for the rhino, dog, and ox, they ran straight towards him to pierce, bite, and smash him to death. The crab, on the other hand, swam in a stream of bubble water coming from the other side.
Cement Style : Cement Lake
Cement Style : Ten Hand Suppression
The next moment, Itachi spurted out a stream of liquid cement which, like a tsunami, rushed in all directions intending to swallow everyone within it. Then multiple huge hands made of liquid cement rushed out of the ground, attacking all the summoning beasts and other Paths of Pain.
Fūinjutsu: Ninja Turtle Seal
Summoning Jutsu : Mirror Clone
While Pain was busy absorbing the cement and the other summoning beasts were entangled with huge hardened cement hands, Itachi quickly used Ninja Turtle Seal to hide himself and then summoned the Mirror Clone to distract the Six Paths.
Shinra Tensei
Universal Pull
Asura Path : Laser Cannon
The moment Itachi disappeared, Deva Path destroyed all the now hardened hands and then used Universal Pull to pull the Mirror Itachi. Asura Path also opened his head and pointed his now mechanical head towards Mirror Itachi and fired a beam of light towards him.
Chidori Style : Chidori Armour
Chidori Style : Chidori Spear
Mirror Itachi covered his entire body with thunder, protecting his body from the energy attack, and then threw the thunder spear with a kunai as the center towards Deva Path.
Preta Path : Chakra Absorption Technique
Having Preta Path blocking Itachi's attack, Deva Path uninterruptedly took out a Yin-Yang chakra rod and pierced towards the incoming Itachi.
Flying Thunder God
Mirror Itachi then appeared in front of Human Path and smashed the newly formed Rasengan towards it. The Human Path had the ability to take the soul out of a person's body, and to Itachi it was the most dangerous after Deva Path. Ofcourse he has to take it out first.
But, unfortunately, the next moment, before Mirror Itachi could complete his attack, a huge ox slammed into his body. Mirror Itachi, who was slammed, felt like he was about to reincarnate again.
BOOM !!!
With a bang, Itachi exploded into a cloud of smoke. It turned out Mirror Itachi had replaced positions with one of the multiple Shadow Clones he used when Pain was busy with his Fireball Jutsu. As for why Pain didn't find them, it was because all of them used Ninja Turtle Seal, making them movable seals for Flying Thunder God.
Eight Trigrams Seal
The next moment, Mirror Itachi appeared above the still moving ox and slammed his palms on top of its head. Then.... then nothing happened. The ox returned to its dimension.
Deva Path, seeing Itachi able to use Fūinjutsu, found it troublesome. Although Preta Path had the ability to absorb ninjutsu, it couldn't absorb Fūinjutsu.
Eight Trigrams Seal
The next moment, Itachi sealed all the summoning beasts except the hidden Chameleon without giving them much time to react with the help of Shadow clones. Then Mirror Itachi once again ran towards Human Path with a Chidori Spear.

Five minutes later
It's been five minutes since the start of their fight, and each side used hundreds of jutsu, though neither side gained an advantage. Till now, not even a single Path of Pain had been destroyed, and although it's a disgrace for transmigrators to not destroy other Paths of Pain within three seconds, Itachi was not in a hurry.
" Hey, Big Brother Shisui, how many minutes do you think it will take Big Brother Itachi to defeat that Pain? " Sasuke, who was excited looking at the many jutsu of Itachi and the strange abilities of the Six Paths of Pain, asked Shisui with curiosity.
" Hmm, I'll say ten more minutes. " Shisui answered with a smile.
" Hmph, until now Pain hasn't even started fighting. " Konan, who also heard Shisui's answer, became unhappy and said coldly, and it was indeed true. Deva Path hadn't attacked much in the past few minutes, and only the other four Paths were attacking.
Mirror Itachi had also only used Fire Style and Thunder Style along with Flying Thunder God to dodge attacks or ambush other Paths of Pain, which were clearly unsuccessful.
Other Akatsuki members were also confident about Nagato's victory, as by now Itachi had already been trapped in Nagato's rhythm. When Itachi tried to attack, Preta Path would defend, Deva Path acted as control and attack, Human Path as pure attack, though it hadn't done a single successful attack as Itachi always dodged it, but it still acted as a hindrance, and finally Asura Path as long range. To the Akatsuki members, this fight was already in Nagato's hands.

Battlefield
Fire Style : Great Fire Annihilation
Mirror Itachi spurted out a huge column of fire hundreds of meters wide, covering the entire battlefield, evaporating all the rainwater on the ground as well as all the moisture in the air.
" Uchiha Itachi, it's useless. I can render all your Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Genjutsu useless. You can only run with your Flying Thunder God until your chakra runs out. Surrender now" Nagato said with growing confidence.
Previously, Nagato had thought Itachi could defeat Jiraiya so quickly because of his Mangekyo ability, and now it seemed it was indeed true. According to the strength Itachi had shown till now, Nagato could say Itachi could beat most of the current Kage, but it was not enough to beat him.
" It's indeed time we step up the game. Pain, I hope you won't disappoint me. "
Cement Style : Infinite Concrete Jungle
Fūinjutsu : Suppression Barrier Seal
Fūinjutsu : Event Horizon
Before Nagato could understand Itachi's words, Nagato suddenly looked downwards in shock, because he could sense a huge chakra pressure comparable to him performing a massive jutsu. The next moment, massive cracks formed from the ground with a radius of five kilometres from Itachi underground, and then liquid cement rushed out of it like a reverse waterfall. Within seconds, a huge lake of white concrete spread on the ground, and even with Preta Path's complete efforts, it would take an hour or two to absorb it completely.
Then the cement swelled up and massive twenty to thirty story buildings formed on the cement lake, which hardened immediately, and within seconds a huge three-dimensional city formed in the Land of Rain. The next second, huge barriers formed which separated the city into six city blocks, and each block had a Path of Pain trapped in it.
After that, a huge circular sealing pattern covered the ground of the entire city, and in the next moment gravity in the city increased many times, and Nagato lost the ability to fly easily, requiring full concentration, which nullified his ability in battle.
Pain seeing the size of the justu understood that he still underestimated Itachi but he is Pain— a GOD. No mortal can win against him.
