------------------------

The intense blue flames ignite the Human path's body on fire.

Swoosh...

The Preta Path quickly flickers beside the Human Path and absorbs the jutsu to nullify the damage to the Human Path's body.

"So, he is the one who possesses the power to absorb chakra." Shima stares at the Preta Path.

"That's one annoying enemy to have!"

Mm...

"These six paths complement each other's weakness and the shared vision further enhances their senses." Fukasaku nods his head.

Fwoosh...

Jiraiya hurriedly jumps in the air and avoids a heat-seeking missile.

Boom...

The missile explodes on the ground, creating a giant crater.

Pew... Pew...

Multiple mini-homing missiles lock on Jiraiya.

Whoosh... whoosh...

Jiraiya swiftly maneuvers through the missiles.

Boom... Boom...

The missile explodes in mid-air, raising a cloud of smoke.

Swoosh...

Jiraiya jumps out of the black smoke with his arms crossed in front of his body.

Shoom...

A chamber opens on top of the Asura path's head to reveal a miniature chakra cannon. The chakra cannon gathers a large amount of chakra and fires a powerful beam of volatile chakra in Jiraiya's direction.

"Didn't we just take him down?" Shima stares at the revived Asura Path.

"He was repaired by that thing over there?" Jiraiya points towards the half-revealed figure of the Underworld king.

"That's... that's the Underworld king Yama from legends!" Shima's eyes widen in surprise.

"No, it's not exactly the real Yama. It's one of the abilities of the Rinnegan. The souls of the person killed by a Rinnegan bearer are harvested by this version of the Yama. As long as its summoner is alive, it can even repair other paths."

Swish... swish...

The Animal Path makes some hand signs and summons the scorched Human Path at its location. The human path enters inside the mount of the Underworld king. After a few seconds, it walks out with a completely repaired body.

"So, that's how it is? Then our priority should be to kill that path." Jiraiya leaps towards the Naraka Path at an incredible speed.

Swoosh...

The Deva Path jumps in front of Jiraiya and blocks his path. He opens his palm and directs it toward Jiraiya.

"Shinra Tensei,"

"Tch... It's that jutsu again, and it's much more powerful than before!"

A massive amount of repulsive force acts upon Jiraiya's body, rapidly pushing him away from the Six Paths of Pain. The Asura Path uses immense repulsive force and launches a metallic spear toward Jiraiya. The spear gains incredible acceleration from the immense repulsive force and closes on Jiraiya.

Clench...

Jiraiya clenches his fist and punches the incoming spear, shattering into metal shards. The two toad sages clap their palm.

"Earth Release: Pillars of Gaia,"

A massive rock pillar rises from the ground. The earthen pillar erects a gigantic barrier and protects Jiraiya from the powerful repulsive force. The effects of the jutsu last for a whole. The repulsive force erodes most of the layers of the pillar.

Haah...

Shima and Fukasaku clap their palm. The pillar rises from the ground and turns into gigantic spikes.

"Sage Art: Agonizing Thorn of Death,"

Fwoosh...

The rock spikes bombard Pain's location.

Haah...

The Preta Path jumps in front of the rest of the pain and attempts to absorb the jutsu.

BANG...

The giant rock spikes implode into numerous small spikes and pass through Preta Path's absorption. The Preta Path's body turns into a sieve with the bombardment of the earthen spikes.

The Asura Path stretches its hand out and creates a mechanical energy shield to block the attacks.

"Tch... it's a combination of physical and chakra attacks." The Deva Path clicks its tongue at the loss of the Preta Path.

Swoosh...

'Earth Release: Hiding like a Mole Technique,"

Using this opportunity, Jiraiya tunnels through the ground and appears behind the back line of the Pain.

"Eat this!"

Jiraiya coats his fist in nature energy and smashes the Naraka path.

Bang...

A giant crater appears at the position of the Naraka Path. Jiraiya's powerful punch destroys Naraka's path body beyond recognition.

Fwoosh...

The Underworld King beside the Naraka Path disappears in hell flames.

"Now they won't be able to recover!"

Jiraiya stores the crippled body of Naraka Path inside a toad's stomach.

The Animal Path, Human Path, Deva Path, and Asura Path enter into a high alert state.

"I am about to use that jutsu. Get away from this place!" Pain turns his attention to the recuperating Konan.

"But using such a powerful jutsu again in such a short time!" Konan bites her lips.

"I underestimated Sensei. He seems to be aware of Rinnegan's ability, so taking him out by surprise didn't work out. I will sacrifice other paths to buy more time." Deva Path makes a decision.

"Very well!"

Konan's figure turns into multiple paper butterflies and dissipates.

"You aren't going anywhere, Konan." Jiraiya shoots multiple hair senbons towards the paper butterflies.

Swoosh...

The Human Path jumps in the path of the needles and punches them to deflect them. The Deva Path claps his palm and channels a large amount of chakra in them.

"Looks like I have to take them down first!"

Jiraiya bends his knees and leaps towards the Human Path. The Human Path also punches his fist toward Jiraiya. Asura Path releases a barrage of missiles from the sidelines. The Animal Path launches a large number of throwing weapons toward Jiraiya.

Fukasaku and Shima clap their palm.

"Sage Art: Frog Call,"

They focus the Senjutsu chakra in their throat and release a powerful sound wave to disrupt the attacks.

'Jiraiya-boy! Our fused state won't last for long. We are about to run out of Senjutsu.' Fukasaku warns him.

Boom... Boom...

The missile explodes, releasing a large amount of smoke and dust around Jiraiya.

Swoosh...

Jiraiya jumps out of the fog and punches the Human Path. The Human Path opens his fist and changes it to a claw.

Bang...

Jiraiya punches a hole through the Human path's stomach. The Human path ignores it and grips Jiraiya's arms.

Swoosh... swoosh...

The Asura Path and Animal Path also surround him and grab his legs and waist.

"Detonate!"

Animal Path makes a hand seal. A fuinjutsu seal appears on the three path's bodies.

"OH NO! It's a suicidal attack!"

Jiraiya hastily channels his remaining Sage Art chakra to erect a barrier.

BOOM...

A gigantic pillar of explosion erupts with Asura Path as the center. The detonation of three paths creates a powerful surge of energy that even alters the path of lighting chains around the Giant Planetary Sphere. A spiral disk of energy spreads across the horizon, pushing away the clouds and smoke in the distance. The shockwaves from the explosion releases ripples across the surface of the giant planetary sphere. The attack tears apart a layer of the crust of the planetary body.

Bang...

A battered figure is thrown out of the explosion.

Huff... Huff...

Jiraiya pants heavily. Blood spurts out from the multiple injuries on his body. Jiraiya opens his palms to reveal Fukasaku and Shima's figures.

"Baa... Paa... are you two alright?"

"We are fine, Jiraiya-boy!" A battered Fukasaku responds to him. Fukasaku's goatee and Shima's hair have been burned to a crisp.

"Jiraiya-boy! You are hurt."

Shima jumps out of his palm and takes out a healing talisman from her pocket.

"This is the last recovery talisman I have left."

Puff...

Smoke rises from Jiraiya's body as nature energy heals his wound. The explosion was very powerful. The Asura Path detonated its core to produce such a powerful explosion.

'I have to spend all my nature energy to barely survive that explosion. And now, I am out of chakra.'

Jiraiya slowly raises his head and stares at the Deva Path. The Deva Path opens its eyes and turns to Jiraiya.

"Sensei! This is the end."

"True: Banshō Tenin,"

The Deva Path raises its arm and swings it downwards.

Rumble... Rumble...

The ground quakes beneath their feet, and darkness shrouds the sky.

"WHAT? WHAT'S THIS?!"

The group raises its head. Shima's eyes widen to her very core. A drop of sweat trickle down her forehead as she subconsciously drops the talisman in her hand.

"THIS IS THE POWER OF A GOD!"

The Deva Path opens its arms.
