[Lightning Style : Black Panther]
An electric tiger of black lightning forms from Darui's chakra and aims for Chikushōdō's.
"You first." He says. "Don't feel like dealin' with a bunch of summoned creatures."
[Summoning Jutsu : Panda]
But it was intercepted by a cold, hard, unmoving summon.
"Alright. Let's see what else you've got."
[Multiple Summoning Jutsu]
Chikushōdō's summons visibly, from the number of smokes, multiples more creatures.
"Good grief. So it's going to be one of those days, huh ?" Darui complains one last time before weaving signs.
[Water Style : Water Wall]
'Well, it's not exactly a wall...' He thinks to himself. 'But I hope it holds them off for a bit.'
Following that thought, Chikushōdō's giant crustacean emerges effortlessly from the water wave and attacks Darui, who sidesteps the danger only to be greeted by a mad rhino from his flank, ready to pulverize him.
"You shouldn't have been able to see that one..." He jumps away from danger.
"Something's odd. It's like it knew where I was even with this water cover... Maybe their vision is share- , ungh ?"
Interrupted in his own thoughts , Darui realized something had taken hold of him. Something invisible.
[Giant Snake-headed Chameleon & Giant Drill-Beaked Bird ]
Revealing itself, it showed its body and its long tongue wrapped around Darui who was vulnerable in midair.
"Alright. It was fishy, but now I'm sure that y'all have a shared vision of some sort. Must be the creepy eyes."
"Useless to know it at this point. You're done." Chikushōdō answers.
"Oh no. Not quite yet."
[Lightning Style: Emotion Wave]
Darui's lightning travels from his body to the Chameleon's and bird's , momentarily breaking loose from its grip. He then runs along one of his water walls...
"Again."
[Lightning Style: Emotion Wave]
… and casts it again on the water around him and the other summons, briefly paralyzing them.
"I won't see the end of it if it keeps on going like this, so I'm going for..." He breaks out from one side of his water barrier, where Chikushōdō was. But she changed locations into a higher position, above a house.
"You" He points at her, before weaving a few signs again.
[Lightning Style: Black Panther]
"Got you this time." He says out loud, while thinking, 'Obviously not.' .
And sure enough, Gakidō surges and intercepts the black lightning panther, absorbing it entirely and taking the chakra for himself.
"I was wondering where you were this whole time. Good thing I was careful."
"You should probably gi- ugh ??"
'Gakidō's reeling from absorbing that attack ?' Pain thinks to itself.
"Having trouble digesting my little pet ?" Taunts Darui.
"That was no normal lightning."
"Yeah." Darui rushes to melee after unsheathing his sword." That's something only me and the Raikage know. Surely you can't handle it. I would've been surprised if you did. That would be a real blow to my confidence."
"That's still only temporary." Chikushōdō uses her left hand and a chakra to parry the hit, but after a couple seconds of struggle, they caved in to Darui's pressure and his sword's weight and eventually both got cut, rod and arm.
"You're out of your mind for this... Who uses that form to parry a big sword ? What can you do with one arm ?"
[Summoning Jutsu : Giant Ox]
Chikushōdō uses one arm to summon one more companion and make it charge the foe. The Ox rams into Darui's sword and knocks him back a distance. He uses that momentum to leap into a wall, concentrating chakra to his soles again, and then jumps back into the bare 2nd floor of a house that was half collapsed.
'I'm high enough to avoid the charging bull and crab. The rhino, chameleon and bird are still knocked. The panda can't move. Surely that's all...'
[Summoning Jutsu ...]
"Oh for fu-"
[... Dog of Hell]
Chikushōdō summons another creature with one hand, and makes it violently charge up towards Darui .
"Man, what a hassle."
The dog of hell crashes into the building, making it into a messy pile of rubble, dust and smoke and continues his charge while biting down on Darui. The ox and crustacean follow up and start bludgeoning and ripping apart Darui's body.
[Lightning Release : Black Lightning Clone]
What the beasts thought was Darui exploded in a black lightning surge, violently damaging, paralyzing and frying them.
[Storm Release: Laser Circus]
"A lightning clone..." Pain thinks, as a flurry of light beams shoot out from the destroyed building and aim for Chikushōdō.
"Useless." Chikushōdō says, as Gakidō swiftly moves and intercepts the lightning rays.
"Nah. I don't think so." Darui makes the light beams completely change course, avoiding Gakidō's absorbing barrier entirely, and curving back to Chikushōdō, who could only watch them approach and take the hit head-on.
"Tsk. "
The beams explode powerfully on Chikushōdō and leaves it laying on the ground, damaged all over.
"A special black lightning. In a clone as well. And now, a precision jutsu like this. No wonder you're the Raikage's right hand." Pain's voice resonates from Gakidō.
"Thank you for that. Any last words ?"
"It's also impressive how you can still bluff. I know for a fact that elemental clones take a lot of chakra. And with something powerful like black lighting being used so many times, you're at your chakra reserves' limit."
"Haaa..." Darui sighs,"... So what ? I've already won." he declares.
'Or at least that's what I want to say...'
On the other side of the village. A, the Raikage is still fighting Tendō.
"PAAAAAAAAAAIIIIINNNNN."
"Very noisy for someone as highly placed as the Raikage."
"Shut up. Criminal. I'll pummel you"
Blow for blow, they keep trading hits. One hit from the Raikage could prove to be dangerous, so Pain does his best to keep the strikes at bay. Dodging some, parrying others, and attacking back. But the Raikage is much faster and eventually...
"Got you know."
He closes in with a speed that looks like teleportation for the untrained eye, and smashes his fist on Tendō's flank.
"That's a lot of damage. And that speed... I see."
"I'll hurt you badly for what you've done, Pain!" screams Ay as his fist aims for Tendō's head.
"What do you know about pain ?" Pain's eyes flicker, and his neck moves to the side in an unnatural way, dodging the blow.
"Know pain."
Boom. Countless missiles explode on the Raikage's flank, pushing him away from Tendō.
The recovered Shuradō had aimed for the defenseless Raikage. With this downtime, Tendō gets back up. The fight is pretty simple. Ay is faster and stronger, so he aims in a straightforward way to him but
[Almighty Push (Shinra Tensei)]
He gets repulsed far back again. So the Raikage pick it up a notch and goes a bit faster to bridge that gap making sure to dodge the incoming missiles on the way.
"EAT THIS." Ay plants a powerful fist in Tendō's face who was sent flying and crashing to an alley.
Shuradō continues his onslaught of firepower while Jigokudō rushes to Tendō's location, feeding him to the king of hell. The Raikage easily dodges the rest of Shuradō's missiles, moves at insane speed to him, and blows him away in one powerful hit. As the king of hell was finished and Tendō got out of him, Ay prepared to rush back to him. But a tornado of papers gathered next to Pain, and Konan made her appearance.
"Nothing on my end. How about you, Pain ? Any news ?"
"Ningendō, Shuradō, Chikushōdō and Gakidō are done for and I'm a bad match for the Raikage."
"But you can still beat him, right? Especially while I am with you, we can't lose."
"Right. But there's no need to fight anymore. Jigokudō had planted chakra rods on one of their guys that could control animals, and I picked up a signal from a certain location."
"J!" Raikage shouts at the realization," DAMN YOU!" And rushes back into the melee of both...
[Almighty Push (Shinra Tensei)]
… but was flung back even further, as Pain concentrated this last one.
"I see." Says Konan, fully aware of Pain's intentions.
"This is it for you and your village Raikage." He says while flying with Konan on a paper bird.
"COME BACK HERE, COWARD!" Shouts the Raikage to no avail." PAAAAAAAAAAIIINN!"
While taking altitude, they keep discussing the situation.
"Deidara and Sasori are close by there. But I want to go myself and make sure. That will also serve as a checkup on Sasori's whereabouts. With those rumors and his new power ups, I want to make sure he's still on our side."
"What of the Hidden Cloud ?"
"It's time for them to know pain, too."
"Pain. NO! That technique eats away at your life. There's no need for that!"
Pain ignores Konan's pleads and continues floating up on his own. He opens up his arms, looks down at the Hidden Cloud village's destroyed state from above, and declares:
"This world....
... shall know pain."
