Deva Path was left speechless by the words of Raikage Ai.
He furrowed his brow and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ai pointed to his own head and said, "Maybe you should go to the hospital? There's definitely something wrong with your head."
At this moment, Deva Path understood.
Ai was saying he had a problem with his head.
Deva Path wasn't angry. He just looked at Ai with pity and said, "When it comes to things that are beyond your understanding, humans instinctively reject and deny them."
Hearing this, Ai was a bit confused again.
"What do you mean?"
"It's simple. I say I am a god. This is an undeniable fact. But you, you call me a crazy person with a problem in the head. Tch. The wisdom of mere mortals can never comprehend the great power of a god."
Ai sighed and rubbed his forehead. Even though this was for gathering information, he didn't want to continue talking to this person.
Just then, Deva Path didn't want to talk any further either.
Through the shared vision of the Rinnegan, they discovered that the Two-Tails Jinchuriki was with the Animal Path.
She seemed very dissatisfied with the village's orders to keep her hidden and had run out on her own to kill many of the summoned beasts from the Animal Path.
Facing the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, a single Animal Path couldn't handle her.
The secret mastermind behind the Six Paths, Nagato, had already sent the other four paths, aside from Deva Path, to help out.
As for Deva Path, Nagato didn't want to continue dealing with Raikage Ai either.
Capturing the Two-Tails Jinchuriki quickly was the key.
However, just as Deva Path wanted to leave, Raikage Ai wouldn't allow it.
"Hm? You want to run?"
Noticing that Pain (Deva Path) was thinking about leaving, A wasn't sure why, but he didn't want to let him get away.
"Ha!"
With a loud shout, A's whole body radiated sharp lightning.
This was the hidden technique of the Cloud Village: Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
"Don't think you can run."
After activating Lightning Release Chakra Mode, A's speed, strength, and defense were all significantly enhanced.
The only drawback was that it consumed a lot of chakra.
But Ai didn't care.
He never planned on dragging out the battle.
When facing such a great villain, it was better to end things quickly and send them to hell with the fastest speed.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Unfortunately, this time, Pain (Deva Path) was prepared.
When A launched his full-force attack, Pain didn't hesitate and used Shinra Tensei.
Once again, just like last time, A struggled against the repulsive force.
The good news was that this time, he managed to hold out for five seconds.
The bad news was that he was still blasted away.
"How weak."
Pain (Deva Path) sneered and turned to head toward the Animal Path.
However, what he didn't expect was that, in mid-air, Ai forced himself to stop and then used a body flicker technique that was fast enough to rival Minato Namikaze's.
"Who are you calling weak?"
A roared, locking his hands together and smashing them down onto Pain's head before he could react.
"Boom!"
With a powerful strike, dust filled the air.
The ground beneath them was also left with a small crater from the blow.
Ai was confident that this punch would surely kill him.
"What's wrong with calling you weak?"
"Do you know where the 'Aka' in the Akatsuki name comes from?"
"Forget it, telling you this is pointless."
However, as the sound from the pit echoed, Ai realized that his move had not killed the opponent.
Not only had he failed to kill him, but it seemed to have made the opponent even more unhinged.
As the dust settled and the smoke cleared, Pain, in his Deva Path form, stood unharmed in the small pit.
Ai could see clearly that even his hair wasn't out of place.
Damn it, is this still a human?
"Phew~"
Shaking his head, Ai forced himself to clear away the unnecessary thoughts in his mind.
"This is not the time for random thoughts."
Deva Path Pain gave a deep look at Raikage Ai.
He didn't want to keep entangling with him.
The disturbance from the Hidden Cloud Village was so loud, it might draw the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki here, which would be troublesome.
It wasn't that Pain feared the Eight-Tails, but he was afraid of accidentally killing it.
Couldn't Zetsu just create a replacement for the Eight-Tails?
"Since you insist on stopping me, I'll let you feel some pain, so you know that gods are not to be offended."
Ai instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
They say that mentally unstable people think outside the box, but as a normal person, Ai really couldn't understand Pain's way of thinking.
Let him feel pain?
With so many people dead from the Hidden Cloud Village, Ai felt like he had already experienced enough pain.
Still, the same thought repeated in his mind: whatever the opponent planned to do, he had to stop him.
Having realized this, Ai immediately launched another attack on Deva Path Pain.
But this time, his attack failed.
Not because he was sent flying by Shinra Tensei, but because Deva Path Pain had flown into the air himself.
Pain (Deva Path): Are you stunned? I can fly.
"A bag of rice, how many floors does it take to carry? (Feel the pain.)"
"A bag of rice, carry it to the second floor. (Consider the pain.)"
"I gave you more rice. (Accept the pain.)"
"A bag of rice, I'll wash it. (Understand the pain.)"
"I washed so much dirt from the rice. (Those who don't understand pain.)"
Deva Path flew higher and higher, and the ominous feeling in Raikage Ai grew stronger and stronger.
Raikage Ai couldn't do anything about Deva Path, flying in the sky. He could only shout in frustration.
"You crazy person, what the hell do you want? You said I should feel pain, but I've already felt enough pain. I don't need to feel more pain!"
Deva Path ignored Ai. As he continued to rise, he kept reciting his lines.
"With those black kids, digging in the dirt. (They can't understand true peace.)"
"Each one is covered in mud. (Starting from now.)"
"Who gave you the rice? (Make the world feel pain.)"
At this point, Deva Path raised both hands, and his tone became even fiercer.
"Enough, add water! (Shinra Tensei!)"
In an instant, a repulsive force hundreds of times stronger than a normal Shinra Tensei erupted, centered on Deva Path and surged toward the Hidden Cloud Village.
Under the extreme force, even the ground was flipped over, let alone buildings and homes.
Everything in the face of this Shinra Tensei was nothing.
Faced with the overwhelming power of Shinra Tensei, Raikage Ai couldn't do anything. He could only watch helplessly as his village was destroyed.
"No~~~"
"Nagato, how are you?"
Not far outside of Hidden Cloud Village, Konan and Nagato were hiding in the woods.
The power of the Shinra Tensei was so great that it caused Nagato, whose health was already poor, to bleed from his nose.
Konan saw this and became quite worried.
"It's fine, I can still hold on."
After taking a few deep breaths, Nagato felt a little better and smiled at Konan. He asked, "I wonder if Jiraiya-sensei will be satisfied with my reward."
"Jiraiya-sensei might be shocked."
Konan didn't know exactly what Nagato and Jiraiya had discussed, so she wasn't sure how much Jiraiya knew about Nagato and the Akatsuki organization.
Nagato, on the other hand, had a vague understanding of how much Jiraiya knew about Akatsuki and him.
This was the first time he had used such a powerful Shinra Tensei.
Even Jiraiya-sensei, after learning about the situation in the Hidden Cloud, would probably be shocked, right?
"Konan, get ready, we can leave now."
"Did you capture the Two-Tails?"
"In the face of the power of God, she had nowhere to escape."
