After freeing himself, the Raikage looked at all the 'Paths of Pain' with solemn eyes because he was at a total disadvantage in this encounter. However, the Raikage was not someone to give up easily. He once again entered the 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode' and prepared to attack the 'Paths of Pain.' At this moment, Darui appeared beside the Raikage and said, "Raikage-Sama, if you can hold off the other 'Paths of Pain,' then I will be able to deal with the 'Naraka Path.'" Finding this plan feasible, the Raikage nodded and replied, "Okay, then let's do this."
But before they could implement their plan, suddenly all the 'Paths of Pain' and the summoned beasts disappeared from the place. It took a moment for the Raikage to comprehend what had just happened, and when he realized that all the 'Paths of Pain' had vanished, he shouted in anger, "Where did they go?" As the Raikage shouted this, the Lightning Chakra covering his body rioted even more, destroying the ground around him. "Search for them; they must be around here somewhere," said the Raikage.
Darui analyzed the situation and said, "It doesn't seem like they left here using the 'Body Flicker Technique'; on the contrary, it seems like they were summoned."
The Raikage agreed with Darui's assessment.
Just at that moment, a Kumo Anbu Ninja appeared in front of the Raikage and said, "We found two members of Akatsuki moving in the direction of Lord Killer B's training place. Anbu Ninjas are following the giant bird on which they were seated, and they also should have asked for reinforcements."
After hearing this, the Raikage said, "It seems that the disappearance of the 'Paths of Pain' and the movement of those Akatsuki members are connected. I have no time to waste; I will immediately go to my brother's training."
After saying this, the Raikage left, and Darui followed him, leaving the place.

"Fool, ya fool, who are you? Yeah," said Killer B, rapping while looking at Animal Path and Konan, who appeared in front of him.
Neither the 'Animal Path' nor Konan spoke. Without wasting time, the 'Animal Path' used the Summoning technique. As soon as the 'Animal Path' used the summoning technique, all the 'Paths of Pain' appeared.
Seeing the appearance of all the 'Paths of Pain,' Killer B's face became serious. He unsheathed all eight of his short swords and took his battle stance, ready to fight.
Killer B was the first to attack, moving swiftly as he approached the 'Paths of Pain'. The 'Deva Path' then utilized the "Almighty Push," sending Killer B backward. He was thrown backward, and six of his swords, which he held in various body parts, fell. Only the two swords in his hands remained.
Nagato was in no mood to waste time, so he decided to use the 'Deva Path' to end the fight as quickly as possible. The 'Deva Path' employed the 'Universal Pull,' causing Killer B to be drawn towards it like iron to a magnet. With a sharp Chakra rod created from its right hand, the 'Deva Path' stood ready to stab Killer B as soon as he entered its stabbing range.
Killer B also noticed the Chakra Rod in the hands of the 'Deva Path' and understood its intentions. Large octopus arms appeared from his waist, and all of these giant octopus arms attacked not only the 'Deva Path' but also other Akatsuki members.
The 'Asura Path' appeared in front of the 'Deva Path' and took the brunt of the attack from these octopus arms, sustaining significant damage.
To avoid further damage, the 'Deva Path' used "Almighty Push," sending Killer B flying backward.
Realizing that it was impossible for him to defeat the 'Deva Path' in his half-tailed beast mode, Killer B understood that he needed to enter the perfect tailed beast mode.
And indeed, Gyuki's huge body appeared in front of the 'Deva Path.' Without uttering a word, Gyuki attacked the 'Deva Path' with its octopus arms.
"Hmph! The same trick won't work on me twice," said Nagato, then proceeded to use 'Almighty Push' once again. However, this time it was different. The 'Deva Path' compressed the 'Almighty Push' ability into a sharp blade and then utilized it. This sharp blade easily severed Gyuki's arms.
Gyuki roared in pain, and with its roar, it started gathering tailed beast Chakra in its mouth and fired an energy cannon-like blast. This attack was highly destructive, but the 'Deva Path' created a barrier around himself, leaving him unharmed.
The other 'Paths of Pain' were also unharmed, thanks to the 'Preta Path,' which absorbed a large amount of Chakra from the energy cannon. At the very least, in their vicinity, this energy cannon was not able to cause any harm.
The Raikage, moving at full speed, also witnessed the explosion and understood that Killer B was definitely in combat with someone powerful. If this were not the case, Killer B wouldn't have entered his tailed beast mode.
