Iruka crouched on the ground, his recent injuries and the powerful aura radiating from Tendo Pain frightening him to the bone, his eyes filled with panic.
Tendo Pain was pleased with Iruka's display of fear. He spoke from above, "Tell me, where is Uzumaki Naruto!"
Iruka gritted his teeth, stood up, and glared at Tendo Pain, angrily saying, "I have nothing to say to you."
"Hmm?" Tendo Pain's gaze was cold, his killing intent formidable. "Is that so? Then you can die."
A black rod emerged from his sleeve and into his hand, piercing without hesitation towards Iruka's heart.
Just then, a hand suddenly reached out from beside Tendo Pain and firmly grasped his arm.
"According to Sage Fukasaku's description, you must be the Pain who can control attraction and repulsion."
Kakashi stared coldly at Tendo Pain. The forehead protector on his left eye had already been rolled up, revealing a scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan in its entirety.
"Iruka, leave!"
"I, I understand," Iruka said nervously. In a confrontation of this level, he would only be a burden.
"Hatake Kakashi, Uzumaki Naruto's teacher." Tendo Pain did not stop Iruka from leaving, as Kakashi was here, and he could get clues about Uzumaki Naruto from him.
"I'll just ask you directly, where is Uzumaki Naruto?" Tendo Pain said expressionlessly.
Kakashi chuckled, "Don't bother. Konoha has completely changed. We will never betray our comrades."
"Is that so? Then I'll have to kill you all."
Tendo Pain spun around and delivered a whip kick. Kakashi, using his Sharingan's power, barely dodged it, but it was immediately followed by black rods shooting out from Tendo Pain's sleeve.
"Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!"
Kakashi quickly flipped backward, formed hand seals, and slammed his palm on the ground.
Boom!
A stone wall suddenly rose from beneath Kakashi's feet, carved with the heads of ninja hounds, completely blocking the incoming black rods.
However, while Kakashi's hand seals were not slow, Tendo Pain did not need any. In this exchange, Kakashi gradually fell into a passive state.
Shriiik!
Tendo Pain seized the opportune moment, and a black rod directly pierced Kakashi's shoulder. Instantly, Kakashi's chakra became chaotic, and he felt a wave of dizziness.
Taking advantage of this, Tendo Pain punched Kakashi and sent him flying, embedding him in the stone wall.
Kakashi quickly discovered the abnormality of the black rod and, enduring the pain, pulled it out. Only then did he return to normal.
Just then, lightning chakra condensed in his palm, with sparks of electricity dancing around it, blindingly bright, like the sharpest blade, unstoppable.
"Raikiri!"
Kakashi's Three-Tomoe Sharingan fixed on Tendo Pain, and the blue-white arcs of electricity fiercely stabbed towards Tendo Pain.
Tendo Pain stood still, his Rinnegan suddenly widening in fury.
"Almighty Push!"
Bang!
Kakashi felt an irresistible repulsive force strike him, as if he were grabbed and thrown, powerless to resist. His pupils widened, and he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through stone walls and hurtling far away.
Bang bang bang bang…
A series of crashing sounds echoed as Kakashi, covered in dirt and dust, crashed into a deep pit, stunned.
This repulsive force was too illogical.
But that was just the beginning. Next, to Kakashi's indescribable astonishment, the area within dozens of meters around Tendo Pain became empty. A powerful, bomb-like repulsive force detonated like an explosion, kicking up sand and gravel, like a small mushroom cloud.
Seeing the ground around him as smooth as a mirror, Kakashi's mouth hung open. He felt incredibly fortunate.
Thankfully, there were no sharp objects around, or he couldn't say for sure if he would still be alive.
"Universal Pull!"
Tendo Pain extended his hand, and Kakashi immediately felt as if he were being grasped again, uncontrollably flying towards Tendo Pain.
"Good opportunity!"
Kakashi rejoiced. Bright blue-white sparks of electricity surged in his palm again. Using this pulling force, he lunged at Tendo Pain.
However, when the Raikiri was only a few centimeters from Tendo Pain, Tendo Pain unleashed another Almighty Push, making Kakashi kiss the ground intimately once more.
"My back…" Kakashi thought a million colorful curses, his expression incredibly serious. He felt he might not be Tendo Pain's match.
"It looks like I'll have to retreat for now and bring more people later."
However, his action was crushed before it could even be put into practice.
Boom!
A figure descended from the sky and appeared behind Kakashi—it was the Asura Path.
"Another one?" Kakashi had no time to think and immediately jumped to the side, warily watching the two in front of him.
The warning from Sage Fukasaku flashed in his mind.
"Their eyes are connected, they share vision, so when fighting Pain, you must fight him one-on-one."
Kakashi's face darkened. He must not have checked the almanac before leaving today.
The Asura Path's right hand opened, and rows of miniature missiles shot out from the barrels, trailing smoke, attacking Kakashi from different directions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, small mushroom clouds appeared, and dust billowed everywhere.
The Asura Path's right arm retracted, and its head exploded like a blooming flower, firing an electrical cannon.
"Raikiri!"
From within the dust, Kakashi charged forward, his Sharingan wide open, his hand cutting through the electrical cannon's blast like a blade.
When Kakashi reached the Asura Path, two more arms extended from the Asura Path's right shoulder. One of those arms transformed into a rapidly rotating gear, blocking in front of it.
At the speed of that gear's rotation, even if Kakashi struck it, his right arm would be torn to shreds.
"I'm somewhat famous, you know." Kakashi's lips curved slightly. He shifted his footing, spun his body, and appeared behind the Asura Path, unleashing his Raikiri towards its head.
Got it!
However, just then, Tendo Pain's cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Almighty Push!"
"Damn…"
Kakashi's heart sank. The next moment, a powerful shockwave surged towards him, and he was once again violently thrown away.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking echoed. Kakashi's face turned instantly pale. When he came to his senses, his right leg had already slammed heavily against the stone wall.
"It's all over."
Tendo Pain said coldly. He drew a nail from the ground and once again used his powerful repulsive force to shoot it towards Kakashi's head.
Kakashi, sensing danger, saw his Three-Tomoe Sharingan begin transforming into a Mangekyo.
But it was too late to use Kamui to transport the nail into another dimension.
"It seems this is as far as I go too…"
