The Human Path of Six Paths Pain could absorb souls.
Although he didn't know if this soul was the one he was looking for, he could at least try.
Lin Nan voiced his request to Pain.
Pain was very accommodating, basically granting every request.
He loved it, it was comparable to Chao Ge.
However, just as Lin Nan was waiting for the "Human Path" to arrive, Pain had already shot towards the black shadow in the sky.
"Huh?" Lin Nan was bewildered.
What was going on? Wasn't it the Human Path?
But when he saw that Pain's Deva Path was using the King of Hell from the Preta Path, Lin Nan finally understood.
This Pain was the Six Paths combined.
Wasn't that Edo Tensei Nagato?
Amazing.
As the King of Hell, the god who governed souls, he should theoretically be able to affect soul bodies, coupled with the soul absorption of the Human Path, Lin Nan truly didn't believe he couldn't deal with this soul body of his.
However, why he could exist in this world in this state, Lin Nan still hadn't figured out.
Watching the black shadow being chased all over the sky by Pain, Lin Nan shouted "Chao Ge is awesome."
"Who is Chao Ge?" Deidara arrived beside Lin Nan on a large bird.
"Nothing!" Lin Nan ignored Deidara.
Menma, after being controlled by Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu, was in a daze. Lin Nan glanced at the black shadow in the sky and then at Konan.
Konan had the ability to directly communicate with Nagato, who controlled Pain from behind.
Konan understood, and after a brief whisper between them, Konan stepped aside slightly.
"Tch, so secretive!" Deidara pouted, "Big Brother, let's whisper too."
Sasori: "Scram!"
Just then, the black shadow in the sky, cornered by Pain, actually burrowed into Pain's body.
Holy crap!
Lin Nan's brows furrowed, clearly startled.
The others also looked over.
Pain also stopped moving, and a strange smile appeared on his corpse-like, expressionless face.
"Hmph!"
With a shout, countless black rods shot out from his body, and his clothes tore.
Holy crap, a ripped-clothes Deva Path, this is truly Deva Path · Chao Ge.
"I'll control this body for now, Nagato!"
Chao Ge uttered a single word indifferently, then looked at Lin Nan and the others below.
His Rinnegan eyes flickered madly for a moment, then stabilized, still Rinnegan.
Lin Nan naturally knew that after the black rods of Pain's body were forced out, the chakra from the Rinnegan was interrupted, so the projection of the Rinnegan was about to disappear.
But because Lin Nan had a system that could intercept chakra, he retained the Rinnegan.
Lin Nan frowned and looked at Konan: "Didn't I say to force him into Menma's body? What's going on now?"
"This is Nagato's idea!" Konan said faintly.
What was Nagato thinking?
Force the black shadow into Menma's body, seal it along with the Nine-Tails, everyone happy, how good.
Now that Chao Ge was forced out, bringing the power of the Rinnegan with him, what to do?
So now they had to start all over again?
The other members of the Akatsuki were also confused, having no idea what had happened.
Lin Nan could only shrug: "I'll see how Big Brother Nagato explains this!"
Konan merely opened her lips slightly: "Nagato has his own plans!"
Isn't this a mess?
Lin Nan had doubts about whether the black shadow could enter the Deva Path's body, but thinking that he had the power of the Six Paths of the Rinnegan, which encompassed all the power of existence, he couldn't be so easily possessed.
But now it seemed like it was a bit thoughtless.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Immediately after, Chao Ge extended his hand and pulled Menma's body towards him.
How could Lin Nan let him succeed? He immediately spat a large mouthful of fire at Chao Ge.
"Fire Style, Great Fire Annihilation!"
Chao Ge's skill was interrupted, and he chose to use the Preta Path to absorb Lin Nan's flames.
"Useless Lin Nan, without exaggeration, I am stronger than Nagato right now!"
With that, Chao Ge spread his arms wide, and a strong wind instantly swept out from him in all directions.
"Super Shinra Tensei!"
"Retreat!"
Lin Nan shouted a warning, and the Akatsuki members quickly retreated.
The Shinra Tensei used by Chao Ge this time had an extremely wide coverage. Although it was not as large as when he destroyed Konoha, it had clearly surpassed a normal Shinra Tensei.
Lin Nan's expression was somewhat grim as he looked at the blood moon in the sky. Under its illumination, space was frozen, and Obito was definitely watching nearby. Only he could do this.
"Brothers, it seems we have to focus fire on the leader!" Lin Nan glanced at his colleagues next to him.
Before others could speak, Hidan eagerly said, "I just want to know if I can offer him to Lord Jashin?"
Kisame, unusually, grinned maliciously: "Honestly, my Samehada has been coveting the leader's chakra for a long time!"
Seeing the group sharpening their weapons, Lin Nan glanced at Konan and found that this elder sister was also starting to accumulate chakra.
It seemed the leader wasn't that authoritative after all...
Lin Nan knew that now was not the time to laugh, and immediately looked at Itachi Uchiha.
"His target is you, don't step forward for now, leave him to us!" Itachi Uchiha said slowly, then let out a soft shout.
"Akatsuki, assemble!"
"Sorarara..."
The Akatsuki members, like wolves and tigers, pounced towards Deva Path · Chao Ge. Their excitement was clearly more intense than when they attacked the Nine-Tails earlier.
"Madness, all of you are mad!" Lin Nan gave a wry smile, looking at Chao Ge flying in the sky, and did not choose to use his Susanoo.
Although this move was Lin Nan's strongest single-target attack at the moment, it was useless against Chao Ge at this time.
It was as if even the most powerful human would not easily catch a fly.
Susanoo was equivalent to a war machine, more convenient for group targets than individual ones.
Lin Nan suddenly doubted the authenticity of Nagato's defeat by Itachi Uchiha.
Perhaps Kabuto wasn't very good at playing.
Just looking at how Chao Ge was dealing with the attacks of the entire Akatsuki with ease, it was evident that the strength of the Six Paths of Pain combined was absolute!
"The Six Paths of Pain can absorb all ninjutsu and chakra, so only taijutsu attacks can be used!" Itachi Uchiha acted as the combat commander.
"Alright!"
Hidan and Kisame both charged forward.
However, before they could get close, they were directly blown away by Chao Ge's Shinra Tensei.
"Amaterasu!"
Itachi Uchiha's right eye began to bleed, and the black flames of Amaterasu instantly covered Chao Ge's chest.
However, with a flash of purple light, the flames of Amaterasu completely disappeared.
Can Amaterasu also be absorbed?
"C2! Hmph!"
Along with Deidara's roar, a dragon-shaped clay bomb suddenly exploded.
But a purple light formed a barrier, and the fire waves generated by the explosion could not approach Chao Ge at all.
Konan in the sky also released paper needles formed by her Paper Ninjutsu.
"Noisy!" Chao Ge muttered, then clapped his hands, "Summoning Jutsu!"
