"..."
Jiraiya's mouth twitched.
Thinking of the complex relationships between his teacher and friends, Jiraiya looked up at Orochimaru in front of him and said in a low voice, "Orochimaru, if the old man really dies one day, I believe you wouldn't be as happy as you are now..."
"..."
Orochimaru thought of that scene, and his expression gradually calmed down.
To be honest, the day their teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzen, truly dies, he perhaps wouldn't be as happy as he is at this moment.
As these old friends were talking, the situation on the field had already changed. After Pain floated into the air, he quickly gathered his Chakra!
"..."
Akihara Kagura stood in place, looking up without moving.
"Not taking the bait?"
Pain couldn't help but frown.
Because his body was floating in the air, gathering a massive amount of Chakra and posing as if he was about to use a powerful Jutsu. The intention was to lure Akihara Kagura to teleport into the air!
As long as Akihara Kagura appeared in the air, Pain could use Almighty Push in the air to crush him when Akihara Kagura had no ground to leverage!
But...
This little guy didn't take the bait!
Pain glanced down at Akihara Kagura, slowly closing his hand: "If he won't take the bait, then I'll have to find a way to release a stronger Jutsu..."
"However..."
"It might not succeed either..."
Pain's eyes were slightly somber because he knew the troublesome nature of Akihara Kagura: "This little guy might use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to escape..."
"With only the abilities of the Heavenly Dao, trying to defeat this little guy isn't so easy, and it might even be impossible to do anything to him..."
This is one of the limitations of Pain entering the battle.
Normally speaking, no enemy in the Ninja World should be a match for Pain, yet unexpectedly, a powerful Sage Body inexplicably emerged.
"I have to give it a try..."
The Chakra Pain gathered converged in his palm, and a small black sphere, resembling a black hole, slowly appeared at the center of his palms as he contemplated internally: "At least I can use it to create an opening for that little guy..."
"The earth will be attracted to the Chibaku Tensei, sealing all the Flying Thunder God Marks he left in the vicinity. Even if he wants to use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to evade, he can only teleport next to me, and at that time, I'll use the Almighty Push..."
"Jiraiya-sensei, please move away a bit."
Upon seeing the black sphere, Akihara Kagura loudly warned, "That guy is about to release an incredible Jutsu..."
"You guys..."
Jiraiya wanted to say more sternly.
Orochimaru also noticed something wrong with that black sphere, quickly holding onto Jiraiya's arm and leading him away from the battle area.
Red Sand Sasori had long perceived something amiss and controlled Hiruko to leap far away, spotting the severely injured Kakuzu lying on the ground. He extended several Chakra Threads from his fingers and pulled Kakuzu's body as he jumped into the distance.
"I thought you would evade..."
Pain held the black sphere in his palm, watching Akihara Kagura still motionless on the ground: "I didn't expect you would foolishly want to counter this Jutsu..."
"It doesn't matter."
Akihara Kagura was familiar with this Jutsu as well, merely extending his own palm: "If I try to dodge upon seeing this Jutsu, then wouldn't it be running away? If you use this Jutsu again, should I always run away?"
"How arrogant..."
Pain shook his head and slowly released his hand, softly saying, "Then experience the power of the Rinnegan firsthand!"
"Chibaku Tensei!"
The next moment.
The black sphere was launched by him.
The black sphere was directly propelled toward Akihara Kagura!
A gravitational force far surpassing Heavenly Attraction emanated from the small black sphere, even attracting the ground towards it. Akihara Kagura's body inevitably flew towards the black sphere!
"..."
Pain watched Akihara Kagura's gradually shrinking figure.
Perhaps at this moment, he somewhat anticipated resolving this little guy with the Chibaku Tensei due to his arrogance, but couldn't help expecting to see what use this little guy's Sage Body might have.
While everyone present watched Akihara Kagura's body being pulled by the gravitational force towards the black sphere, sealed together with the flying earth and stones!
A meteor-like stone sphere appeared in the sky!
"Kagura!"
Jiraiya's expression suddenly changed!
Even Orochimaru's face turned ugly!
Neither of them expected Akihara Kagura would be sealed like this!
"The Sage Body fell to arrogance..."
Pain stated this as a piece of advice to himself with a blank expression.
The next moment!
The stone sphere in the sky suddenly trembled!
A massive wooden figure burst out of the stone sphere!
Akihara Kagura controlled the wooden figure to struggle out of the gravitational pull of the Chibaku Tensei, then slowly floated down onto the shattered earth.
"How is this possible..."
Pain watched this scene, his hand trembling slightly.
Inside a cave.
A terrifying golem stood deep inside.
A man with red hair and a somewhat withered appearance sat on a wooden wheelchair, clasping his hands together, sweat slowly streaming down his face...
