Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Fugaku Ambushed, The Six Paths of Pain Attack
According to the life simulator, the Five Kage Summit would end in five days, after which an ambush by the Six Paths of Pain would occur on the way back to Konoha!
This meant that time was extremely tight for Uchiha Akira!
If he could reach the Land of Iron within five days, everything would be fine. If it took longer, the situation would become dangerous.
Moreover, the later it got, the more dangerous it would become.
The life simulator hadn't provided a precise timeline of when or where the attack would happen after the summit ended.
The closer it got to the actual event, the clearer the information would become!
For example, if the attack was to happen tomorrow, it might even specify the exact time and location!
Just like when he was attacked by Orochimaru back in the day!
The people of Konoha were all stunned, watching Akira leave in such a hurry, with expressions of shock on their faces!
What could make Uchiha Akira so anxious? He didn't even have time to properly say his goodbyes or give instructions?
"Looks like something major has happened!" Konan, sitting in the Uchiha residence, murmured to herself as she watched Akira leave in a rush.
Having been by Akira's side for several months, she had always seen him prepared for everything, exuding confidence.
This was the first time Konan saw him in such a hurry, indicating that something urgent must have happened—and something major at that!
It wasn't just Konan; everyone who saw Akira leave so hastily thought the same and began discussing what could possibly have caused such a drastic reaction from him.
The gatekeepers of Konoha, Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki, also looked stunned as they watched Akira's figure disappear into the distance.
They exchanged glances, noting that Akira was moving at full speed. Where could he be heading?
The only Super-Kage level shinobi in the world, combined with top-level Shunshin no Jutsu, Akira's speed was simply astonishing!
"Where could Lord Akira be heading? He looked to be in such a hurry!"
"Not sure, could it be something major?"
The current shinobi world often faced major events, like the recent news of Yugito Nii, the jinchūriki from the Hidden Cloud Village, being killed by the Akatsuki.
Kotetsu and Izumo whispered to each other.
A short while later, an Anbu wearing a mask arrived at the village gate using the Body Flicker Technique!
"The cabinet wants to know which direction Lord Akira went just now?" the Anbu asked Kotetsu and Izumo.
"Lord Akira headed this way!" Both Kotetsu and Izumo pointed towards the north of Konoha.
Hearing this, the Anbu remained silent for a moment, his masked expression unreadable, before using the Body Flicker Technique to return and report.
"North? That direction leads to the Land of Iron!" Shikaku Nara said in the cabinet next to the Hokage's office after hearing the direction Akira had taken.
"Could something have happened at the Five Kage Summit?" The other cabinet members' expressions changed at Shikaku's words.
"No matter what has happened, as long as Lord Akira gets there, it should be fine!" Not wanting the atmosphere to become heavy, Shikaku reassured them.
The three of them immediately stopped!
"Jiraiya-sensei, your senses are still as sharp as ever!" The voice of the Deva Path of Pain echoed as he stepped out from the shadows!
"It's him!" Seeing the Deva Path, Kakashi and Fugaku's faces turned grim.
During the Chunin Exams, when Konoha was attacked, Kakashi witnessed the battle between
the Deva Path and Uchiha Akira.
He hadn't expected to encounter him here today!
"It seems it's not just the Kazekage who might face an ambush; even I'm being targeted!"
Realizing the hostile intent, Fugaku thought to himself.
"Yahiko, why do you have Nagato's Rinnegan?" Jiraiya demanded as he recognized the Deva
Path.
"Your strength is indeed formidable, but taking on all three of us alone is impossible, isn't it?" Kakashi pushed up his forehead protector, revealing his Sharingan.
"Indeed, alone it would be challenging, so..."
The Deva Path nodded slightly, ignoring Jiraiya's question and instead answering Kakashi.
As his words ended, several figures stepped out from the shadows, revealing the other Paths
of Pain!
Each of them wore the same black cloak adorned with red clouds and had identical purple Rinnegan eyes! The sight made Fugaku and his companions' expressions change drastically! Six pairs of Rinnegan? How could this be possible? It was terrifying enough for one person to possess a Rinnegan-how could there be six pairs?
Moreover, if one Deva Path was already so formidable, now there were six Paths of Pain?
"You misunderstand. Even though it's six against three, the reality is that my side still outnumbers yours!" With all the Paths of Pain revealed the Deva Path continued.
"Stay alert and work together!" Seeing the Six Paths of Pain, Fugaku's face grew solemn as he instructed Kakashi and Jiraiya.
Faced with such a situation, their priority was survival and gathering as much information on
the six Rinnegan as possible!
However, the Paths of Pain gave them no chance for further discussion. Though there were six bodies, they were all controlled by Nagato, with no need for coordination between them.
Thus, without any verbal exchange, the Six Paths launched their attack, rushing toward
Fugaku's group!
Each of the Six Paths possessed Kage-level strength, and with all six being controlled by the same person, with a shared vision, their coordination was unparalleled.
The battle began, and the Six Paths of Pain, with their numerical advantage, quickly gained
the upper hand against Fugaku and his companions...
