Animal Path was already out of the village as he was near Konan.

“Summoning Jutsu.”

The other four Paths were summoned as Naraka Path had bruises, Petra Path’s head was detached from the body, Human Path had all the chakra receivers removed and Asura Path’s body was completely destroyed with only a part of his torso and head remaining. The chakra receivers were also summoned.

“Ah, there is more damage than we expected.” Animal Path said as Naraka Path summoned the King of Hell.

The King of Hell opened his mouth as it grabbed Petra Path, Human Path and Asura Path.

The three were all absorbed into its mouth as they were in there for a few seconds.

After a while, the King of Hell re-opened its mouth as the three crawled out one after another.

The Human Path was spat out as Nagato still gained back control. Konan took the chakra receivers and stabbed them right into Human Path’s body.

He began to move as he stood up and was good as new.

“Konan, this is the place where the explosion tags are, right?” Animal Path asked as Konan nodded.

Asura Path held Animal Path as he threw Animal Path in the air. Konan formed paper wings behind her back as she started flying.

—–

“Let’s end this fight quickly. My daughters must be bored already.” Akihiko said as he cracked his fingers.

“So, this was what Konan meant by monstrous physical strength.” Deva Path said in an emotionless tone as he held his face in his hand.

“But, it’s still not enough to defeat me. Tensho Ben’in.” Deva Path said as he stretched his arm and pulled Akihiko towards him.

Akihiko was starting to move towards Deva Path but he still had a smile on his face.

“Normal Punch.”

Akihiko said as he threw his right punch casually. It blew Deva Path away as it destroyed more land.

“And 6 more people are coming.” Akihiko muttered as he looked towards the incoming reinforcement.

Animal Path arrived on the ground as he hit the ground with his hands and summoned the other 4 Paths who were not damaged at all.

Konan was flying up in the sky with her paper wings as she was staring at Akihiko. Konan immediately glared at Akihiko.

Shinobis and some daring civilians were looking at the situation from inside the village as they could see everything.

The Dark Side Cult Members were ecstatic to see their Dark Lord in action.

“Oho, it seems like there are lots of people watching.” Akihiko said as the 6 Paths of Pain and Konan also eyed the crowd.

He looked at the crowd for a second before turning towards the Six Paths of Pain again.

His wives who arrived at the location all sighed.

‘It’s Akihiko after all. He wouldn’t lose to anyone.’ They all thought at the same time as they decided to just leave it to Akihiko.

Sasuke was also looking at this while sitting on top of one of the houses as he wanted to see how the orange-haired guys would fare against Akihiko.

Guy, Lee, Neji and TenTen were also watching the scene with great interest as they were all close with Akihiko.

Hinata and Ino were also worried about him even though they believed in him. Yugito and Samui were looking at the scene with serious faces as Matatabi was trying to loosen them up.

Kakashi was standing beside Hanare as he was bandaged up and being taken care of.

Tsunade, Shizune and Sakura were busy healing the injured but all three of them turned towards Akihiko from time to time.

As for the Dark Side’s Cult Members, they already brought out chairs and tables as they took out the stocked cookies and started chatting while eating.

“Why are you all so relaxed?!” A civilian asked them as they answered back.

“We put our trust in the Dark Lord.” They only replied that as they continued chatting.

—–

The Six Paths all turned towards Akihiko as Akihiko disappeared from where he was standing.

He appeared in front of the Six Paths as he pulled back his right arm.

“Serious Punch.”

The Six Paths all felt danger as Nagato sacrificed the Human Path in order to block it. The Human Path’s body was destroyed as there was only a large hole left in the body.

All four of Asura Path’s arms opened up as they all turned into missile launchers. He launched many missiles towards Akihiko as Konan also threw several paper shurikens towards him.

However, Akihiko easily caught all the paper shurikens and just dropped them to the ground while the missiles were extremely close to him.

He grabbed the missiles while coating his hands with chakra as he redirected them all back towards Preta Path.

Preta Path could only absorb chakra-based attacks and not missiles. The missiles all exploded right on his body as Konan started attacking Akihiko with Paper Drizzle.

She knew it wouldn’t work but she was just buying time for Nagato.

Animal Path summoned several animals as they all attacked Akihiko.

“Consecutive Normal Punches.”

Akihiko just punched swiftly as the punches made large holes in the summons and killed them all.

Akihiko disappeared from his place once again as only dust was left behind. He appeared in front of Asura Path and grabbed the back of Asura’s head. He slammed his knee right on Asura’s face and then lifted Asura’s body and slammed the body against his knee.

Asura’s body was destroyed completely as Akihiko disappeared once again before appearing between Naraka Path and Animal Path.

He stretched out both of his arms towards the two as he created a rasengan with his left arm which was on Petra Path’s side.

The rasengan then turned into bright blue as strong heat radiated from it.

Petra Path also stretched out both of his arms in response as he was ready to absorb the chakra attack.

Human Path turned around as he was preparing to kick Akihiko towards Deva Path.

However, they didn’t expect Akihiko to suddenly change his attack.

“Surprise attack.” Akihiko muttered as he spun around. The Flaming Rasengan as Akihiko named it, was thrown towards Human Path’s body when Akihiko kicked Petra Path.

The Flaming Rasengan flew towards Human Path at high speed and he couldn’t block it. It exploded on his legs as the flame started burning his body. His legs were also destroyed as the rasengan exploded.

As for Petra Path, he was already destroyed. Akihiko punched and kicked his body as each punch and kick blew off a large portion of his body.

It all happened in a flash so Deva Path, Konan and Naraka Path couldn’t attack Akihiko.

“Come on. Aren’t you going to attack me? If you’re not going to, I’ll attack.” Akihiko said as he turned towards the three. He kicked off the ground as he appeared in front of Deva Path.

“SHINRA TENSEI!” Deva Path shouted as he pushed Akihiko away from him. Konan took this chance to shoot paper bullets at Akihiko.

Akihiko was pushed back a few meters away as he looked amused.

“The sensation that the technique gives when hitting, this technique would make a good massage technique.” Akihiko muttered.

His body was extremely strong so he needed extreme methods for a good massage.

While he was talking to himself, his hands were deflecting all the paper bullets as he hardened both of his hands.

Naraka Path summoned the King of Hell to revive the fallen Paths but Akihiko didn’t allow it. He used his Magnet Release to shape small, sharp needles from one of the leg bracers that he wore as he flicked his wrist.

The needles were all launched towards Naraka Path. They were all easily seen by Deva Path but it was fine since the needles were not the main attack.

“Bansho Ten’in.” Deva Path said as he stopped the 9 needles.

‘Naraka Path will not be destroyed.’

However, he was proven wrong a few seconds later. His connection with Naraka Path was destroyed as he turned around to see Naraka Path in one piece.

But he wasn’t moving and his eyes were shut.

Akihiko used his Wood Release to create a small plant right under the Naraka Path before growing it inside his body and fully destroying it from the inside. However, it wasn’t noticeable to the spectators.

Nagato’s eyes widened as he turned towards Konan as he decided to use the explosion method.

“Konan, be ready for the explosion.” He whispered as Konan nodded.

“Bansho Ten’in.” Deva Path said as he pulled Akihiko back towards him.

As soon as Akihiko arrived a bit close to him, he immediately turned towards where Konan placed all the explosion tags.

“SHINRA TENSEI!”

Deva Path pushed Akihiko away as he arrived at where Konan planted the explosion tags.

“BOSS, THERE ARE EXPLOSION TAGS THERE!” Deidara yelled out with all of his strength but Konan already used the Katsu sign.

*BOOM*

A large mushroom cloud appeared as the 2 billion explosion tags exploded simultaneously.

The citizens of Konoha and the ninjas were scared but they were protected as Kushina quickly drew a barrier seal under a second as soon as Deidara said there were bombs.

Mikoto and Izumi protected the people with their Susanoos while the others were supplying chakra into the barrier to keep it strong.

As soon as the explosion occurred, the citizens were panicking.

“W-why are you all still eating cookies?!”

“We trust our Dark Lord. Do you think he’ll lose just from this?” The cult member replied before continuing to eat his cookies.

The explosion didn’t manage to affect the village as the barrier protected them all.

“G-guy sensei.”x3

Lee, TenTen and Neji all called Guy as Guy didn’t turn around.

“Don’t worry. Akihiko is not dead. We have to believe in him.”

“Guy-sensei is right! We have to remember how casually Akihiko beat us all up.”

The three finished convincing themselves but for Guy, even though he acted confident, he was extremely worried for Akihiko.

“Kakashi-san, did he just die?”

“No. Akihiko is strong. Really really strong. He always has a method to win.”

Tsunade looked shaken up as she stared at the mushroom cloud. Her heart wrenched as her head drooped down.

‘Am I cursed?’ She questioned herself before she saw Shizune who was continuing to work as if nothing happened.

“Shizune! Aren’t you sad?”

“Sad? What do you mean, Lady Tsunade?” Shizune asked as she tilted her head.

“Akihiko just d-died! No one could survive that explosion!” Tsunade said as Shizune nodded.

“Ah, I see. But it’s Akihiko so he’s definitely not dead. You can look at the others too.” Shizune said as Tsunade turned around.

Kushina, Mikoto, Izumi, Yugao, Pakura, Anko, Haku, Kurenai, Ayame were all acting as if nothing happened.

Sasuke was staring at the scene as he just shook his head.

“Akihiko’s playing around again.” He muttered to himself but Itachi heard him.

They all knew that Akihiko was not one to die from such a small explosion.

Deva Path turned towards Konoha as if Konoha had already lost the fight and Akihiko was dead.

“One who fights against God will always die.” Nagato said as Anko immediately spit on the ground as she shouted.

“Ptew! God? GOD, MY ASS! You look like a childish fuck trying to act like God! Who the fuck you think you are?!”

There was nothing but silence after Anko shouted as Deva Path, Konan and all the citizens were speechless.

However, the silence was broken by a loud laugh from the smoke.

“Hahahahaha!”

Nagato immediately turned around as he was shocked. 2 billion explosion tags should be enough to kill anyone.

The smoke cleared as they all saw a black translucent armour with wings behind and two large horns on top.

‘Isn’t that his Perfect Susanoo form? But why is it so small?’ The wives thought as they looked at Akihiko.

All the cultists had a smug look as they stared at the civilians who questioned them.

Tsunade, Sakura, Yugito, Samui sighed with relief while the wives were showing a smile.

“This technique that I didn’t take too much time to develop….. I call this the Mini Susanoo.” Akihiko said dramatically as the wives all gasped.

“I-it can’t be. H-he finally created a proper name.” Ayame said as Mikoto just smiled.

“Don’t worry. I sense that there is more incoming.”

“Nonono, this name is a bit too bland. The Unbreakable, Undefeatable Mini Susanoo of the Heavenly Emperor.”

Their smiles were all broken as they just stared at Akihiko.

(End-)
