"Report, Captain, everything is normal, no anomalies."
On the high walls of Konoha, in front of a watchtower, a group of people were sitting around a wooden table playing games. Even when they saw their captain arrive, they grinned and kept playing cards, looking very relaxed.
The captain smiled slightly, unfazed by all this.
This was Konoha. So far, no one had dared to openly attack Konoha. Even Orochimaru had Sneaked in to cause destruction.
Therefore, despite being on the most dangerous post, this was actually the safest place in Konoha, making these ninjas extremely bored.
At the same time, since they were sure no enemies would attack, they didn't take it too seriously. Besides, they were the inner guards; there were also outer guards.
So, turning a blind eye to such a situation was the norm.
However, today was different.
Whoosh!
Just then, a shadow suddenly dropped from the sky, landing in front of the captain. Their eyes met.
With pale purple Rinnegan eyes, nails embedded in his body, and a red cloud, black robe, it was Tendo Pain.
"Ah!!!"
A moment later, the captain reacted and was about to fight back, but a sharp pain shot through his chest. Looking down, Tendo Pain had already stabbed his chest with a black rod.
The captain's eyes widened in shock and confusion, but after the black rod was pulled out, he was completely lifeless.
Silence immediately fell around them…
"Enemy attack!" someone shouted without fear, their hands already forming complex hand signs: "Earth Style: Earth Spikes!"
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Tough spikes jutted out from the city walls, creating a buzzing sound in the air as they instantly shot towards Tendo Pain.
"Water Style: Water Blade!"
"Earth Style: Earth Spear!"
"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!"
At the same time, other members also launched their Ninjutsu. Some used the Body Flicker Technique to instantly cut off Tendo Pain's escape route, holding kunai and watching Pain warily.
"The outer guards haven't sent any messages. They must be in dire straits."
Thinking this, they immediately exchanged glances with a younger companion, signaling him to report to the Hokage and prepare for battle.
As for themselves, they were ready to die!
This was the Will of Fire in their hearts, fearless of death, and it was precisely why Konoha had firmly secured its position as the leader of the Five Great Ninja Villages.
The younger ninja's heart ached, but he knew what was more important and quickly got up to leave. "Your sacrifice won't be in vain."
"Almighty Push!"
However, he hadn't gone far before he heard a low voice, followed by a few screams. He looked back and saw his companions all lying on the ground, lifeless.
"How can this be?" the ninja stood there dumbfounded, unable to believe what he was seeing. He had been killed in an instant?
Tendo Pain suddenly looked at him, slowly raising his palm, and whispered, "Universal Pull."
In an instant, the ninja's body flew uncontrollably towards Tendo Pain, crashing straight into the black rod in Pain's hand.
"Pfft…" He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes starting to glaze over. In the last moments of his life, he heard a mumble.
"Do you feel pain?"
Tendo Pain stood tall on the walls of Konoha, his cold eyes looking down at the scenery below without emotion.
"Everything is an illusion, only pain is real."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Six piercing sounds filled the air. Konan and the remaining five Pains landed steadily behind Tendo Pain.
After Jiraiya destroyed the five Pains, Nagato had used the corpses of Amegakure Village ninjas to create five more. The seven of them acted separately, destroying the surrounding watchtowers, and then gathered together.
"It's finally time to begin," Tendo Pain said in a low voice. "From now on, let the world feel pain."
Whoosh!!
The Asura Path lifted the Animal Path and threw it into the sky like a cannonball, diving towards Konoha.
In mid-air, the Animal Path's chakra erupted as it formed hand seals, clasped together.
"Summoning Technique!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In mid-air, six black patterns appeared, followed by six explosions. White mist suddenly dispersed, and the remaining five Pains and Konan appeared next to the Animal Path.
At this moment, Konoha's sensory ninjas all got up. A specially established sensory department in Konoha managed to see their faces and immediately transmitted this message to all departments.
[Akatsuki organization invasion, a total of seven people.]
"Disperse!"
Tendo Pain gave the order, and the seven who had just landed shot off in different directions.
The Asura Path charged down a street, its body suddenly splitting apart, revealing a large number of bullet holes that scattered in all directions with bangs.
Dozens of missiles with flaming tails rained down from above, attracting the attention of a large crowd.
"What is that?" Konoha villagers looked up, confused by everything before them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Soon, these missiles hit the ground, even striking buildings. Deafening explosions kept sounding, and thick smoke billowed.
More than ten buildings were instantly destroyed, and large craters appeared on the ground. Many villagers lost their lives in this bombardment.
The Animal Path arrived in front of a plaza. Using the wide terrain, it summoned a giant splitting dog and a large centipede, engaging in battle with the Konoha ninjas guarding the area.
These summoned beasts did not use Ninjutsu; they simply charged forward with brute force, turning the area into a chaotic mess.
In another area, the Preta Path had already clashed with Konoha ninjas.
A Konoha ninja seized the opportunity, leaped into the air, and unleashed a ball of intense fire from his palm.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Fire Style was one of the most destructive ninjutsu in the ninja world, with a wide range and sufficient damage. Even small sparks could harm people.
Therefore, Fire Style was the most effective offensive method in battle.
However, the next moment, the ninja froze in place.
What did he see?
The Preta Path was grabbing the neck of the ninja in front of him with one hand, while the other palm slammed into the fireball in mid-air. Then, the scorching fireball was completely absorbed by him.
"No, impossible!!!" the ninja's eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Whoosh!
Taking advantage of his daze, the Preta Path pushed off the ground with his feet, appearing before him in an instant and grabbing his throat, asking indifferently:
"Tell me! Where is Uzumaki Naruto?!"
At this moment, Konoha was engulfed in flames, a scene of devastation everywhere. Countless houses had collapsed, black smoke rose, and scattered limbs and broken bodies lay everywhere. Screams could be heard incessantly, like a living hell.
