This red-haired man also possesses a pair of Rinnegan!
This is the real owner of the Rinnegan, Nagato.
The outside Pain is merely one of the Six Paths Puppets controlled by Nagato. He has always used the Deva Path Pain to lead the Akatsuki Organization, using its power to deal with all opponents.
"Nagato."
Konan stood beside Nagato, looking at him worriedly.
It was because she was worried that after she and Pain left, no one would be left to protect Nagato, that Konan didn't leave the Akatsuki's base with the others.
"As expected of Jiraiya-sensei's new disciple..."
Beads of sweat gradually seeped out on Nagato's forehead as he desperately thought about the abilities he could use: "The abilities of the Deva Path can't be fully utilized in front of him..."
"Neither the Chibaku Tensei nor the Heavenly Attraction can pose a threat to him. He can easily use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to dodge Heavenly Attraction and can even violently counter Chibaku Tensei..."
"The only thing that can be used is the Almighty Push..."
"Because his body is a Sage Body, he can even directly withstand the repulsive force of the Almighty Push if prepared, and using the Super Almighty Push would cause the base to collapse..."
"Don't use that jutsu..."
Konan lowered her head, advising softly: "If you use that jutsu, it will also shorten your lifespan."
"There's only one way left..."
Nagato took a deep breath, thinking of a last resort: "Let Pain engage him in close Taijutsu combat..."
"..."
Konan frowned deeply.
All this time, the Deva Path Pain, relying on the three powerful Rinnegan Dojutsu, was almost invincible, and no one in front of the Deva Path Pain had any ability to resist.
And now...
Now, abandoning the Rinnegan's Dojutsu and choosing to counter a Sage Body with Taijutsu, is there still a chance of winning?
"Don't worry, Konan..."
Nagato reassured Konan, believing he had found a way to win: "That little guy hasn't been practicing Taijutsu for long, and isn't as powerful as imagined. As long as I'm a bit more careful and use the Rinnegan's Dojutsu and Yin-Yang Release for support..."
Outside the cave.
Pain continued to hover in the air.
A series of Black Rods condensed in his hand, suddenly hurled toward Akihara Kagura on the ground, and his body swiftly swooped toward Akihara Kagura!
Akihara Kagura dodged one incoming Black Rod after another!
These Black Rods formed by the Yin-Yang Release were exceptionally sharp, piercing the ground one after another!
Pain landed swiftly, kicking into Akihara Kagura's blocking arm, using the momentum to flip back and grab a Black Rod, stabbing at Akihara Kagura!
"Have you given up on your own advantage?"
In Akihara Kagura's palm, a wooden spike materialized, thrusting toward Pain!
Their bodies intersected in an instant!
When they both turned back to look at each other, one had a wooden spike in the shoulder, and the other had a Black Rod.
"Succeeded!"
Pain immediately realized the opportunity.
Because Yin-Yang Release holds incomparable abilities compared to other attribute release jutsu of the Ninja World, notably its capacity to obstruct Chakra flow!
As long as the opponent cannot use Chakra, they cannot use Ninjutsu, and even their Taijutsu ability will be greatly reduced without Chakra's enhancement!
Just as Pain grabbed another Black Rod, charging toward Akihara Kagura, he suddenly felt the Chakra being transferred to him vanish...
"Not right... Wood Release!"
Pain's expression suddenly changed.
The legendary Wood Release of the Ninja God Senju Hashirama doesn't seem like other Kekkeigenkai, but rather holds a more bizarre ability, remarkably capable of absorbing Chakra!
"Interesting..."
Seeing Pain in front of him, Akihara Kagura seemed to have discovered something amusing as he absorbed Chakra through the wooden spike, chuckling lightly: "Your Chakra isn't being generated by the body, it's being transmitted to you. So you're just a puppet..."
"..."
Pain's expression changed suddenly!
Just as Pain wanted to pull out the wooden spike, it had already absorbed the Chakra transferred into him!
"Wood Release: Planting Jutsu!"
Yet Akihara Kagura's low shout came abruptly!
The wooden spike in Pain's body suddenly branched out, penetrating Pain's body almost instantly, even forcing out a few Chakra Receiver Black Rods!
Akihara Kagura, looking at Pain's Rinnegan, seemed capable of seeing the owner hiding behind, controlling Pain through those eyes.
"Your real body is inside, isn't it?"
