If Nagato could unleash the full power of the Rinnegan like Uchiha Madara... no, just most of the power, Mizuki would have turned around and left without saying a word, and would have been satisfied with saving the lives of Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

But now that Nagato's body is almost exhausted, the power that Pain's Tendo can exert is terrifying, and the strength of the other five paths is also feared. But now, Mizuki has not thought about relying on skills and surprise to defeat the Rinnegan.

What Mizuki cares about is just to make it as difficult as possible for the Akatsuki organization to collect the tailed beasts, so that Nagato's energy will be consumed more on meaningless trivial matters.

After two contacts with Nagato, Mizuki basically gave up the idea of ​​changing the direction of the ninja world by his own efforts. It's not that Mizuki didn't want to, but that he couldn't do it and it wasn't worth it.

When it comes to saving the world, the Six Paths Sage gave the power to two people respectively and asked them to do it together. What reason and qualifications does Mizuki have to take on the task alone?

Mizuki's current strength is weaker than Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke at the end of the Fourth Ninja War. He is even weaker than Hatake Kakashi who received the power of Uchiha Obito and Might Guy who used the Eight Gates and opened the Death Gate.

In this situation, how could Shuimu have the confidence to go against the trend of the times? At best, it was just a spoiler who slightly changed the direction of future development.

At least now, it is not the time for Shuimu to play the role of the mainstay.

"Yugao, don't get too close to the front and don't collide with the enemy directly, especially the enemy with special pupil skills... By the way, you should know some details, right?"

"Yes!"

Yugao confirmed Mizuki's judgment.

"Then I won't explain any more. Just make full use of your ninjutsu advantages and the strong ability of the perfect Jinchūriki to fight continuously. Leave the rest to us!"

"knew."

The six-tailed rhino dog is a big slug with four limbs and six tails behind it. If you remove these and paint some patterns on it, it looks a bit like the slug fairy.

Judging from its appearance, the Vulpix is ​​just a mutated slug. With this body shape, it doesn't look like a fast and flexible fighting type tailed beast.

It is easy to tell that the Vulpix is ​​the slowest and laziest of the nine tailed beasts.

Its strength is that its ninjutsu is very powerful, and its best skill is spitting out acid with extremely strong corrosive ability, even the body of the tailed beast cannot be spared.

Next, it will be the most difficult moment for the joint operation between the Hidden Mist Village and Konoha.

Baiyun Yeshan, Yanliu, and the long sword of the Kirigakure Village Anbu, the three ninjas with the best swordsmanship were transferred over by Mizuki.

Might Guy and his three students continued to surround and kill Hoshigaki Kisame. Team 10 led by Asuma Sarutobi joined Team 8's Shino Aburame and Kiba Inuzuka to support the front line. Their expertise was of little use in front of the Rinnegan, but it was indeed very useful on the battlefield.

It’s not that Shuimu doesn’t want to use more combat power, but there is really no other way.

In fact, the most threatening ninjutsu of Pain's Six Paths, apart from the control of gravity and repulsion by the Deva Path and the summoning missiles by the Shura Path, is the black stick created by his Yin-Yang Release.

These tools are both offensive and defensive and have many variations. They are the nemesis of almost all ninjutsu. Apart from the senjutsu chakra and the tailed beast chakra which can provide some resistance, only physical skills can be used.

So, who could be a better helper than a swordsman who is skilled in the secrets of killing?

If possible, Mizuki even wanted to call on the warriors of the Iron Kingdom to help. The straight and sharp blades of their swords might be of great use.

The facts were indeed as Shuimu had expected. After Shuimu and Yugao concentrated their firepower on the Heavenly Path and the Asura Path, the progress of the Animal Path, the Hell Path, the Human Path and the Hungry Ghost Path also stagnated. Given some of these warriors' fine swords and real gold and iron, they were indeed not cut through by the black stick.

These products of Yin-Yang Escape are actually not very good weapons. Although they are hard enough, they have poor toughness. They are suitable for stabbing but not for chopping. In front of armed swordsmen, the secret technique of the Rinnegan cannot hit them, and the black sticks can be blocked or even broken.

Not only that, the bubble ninjutsu that Yugao supported from time to time was also interfering with the performance of Pain's Six Paths. Bubbles appeared from time to time on the evasive route and in blind spots of vision, and exploded under Yugao's control. Although the power was not particularly great, it also caused some minor injuries to the enemy.

"What a great teamwork!"

Shuimu is satisfied with the current situation, and delaying time is beneficial to his side.

Looking at Yu Gao in military uniform, there was a hint of elegance in his every move.

Unlike ordinary Jinchūriki, there is a layer of light red tailed beast chakra on its surface, which makes it look not crazy.

Such a peaceful aura is indeed worthy of a strong man who fully controls the power of the tailed beasts.

What Mizuki needs to do is to let the four clones surround Tendo, constantly use flash tactics to harass him, making it impossible for his gravitational control to be used on other people, and constantly expand the formation of Pain's Six Paths.

Mizuki's real body used Fire Style to attack Shurado and directly consumed his chakra to delay time.

Another advantage is that the battle takes place on the water, so some of the ground-based summoned beasts in the Animal Realm are useless.

For example, monitor lizards, centipedes, pandas, etc. cannot move on the water surface. Although they will not drown, their power will be greatly reduced due to the resistance of the water flow if they are underwater.

More advanced summoning beasts like the Splinter Dog and the Chameleon can use chakra and walk on water, but it is difficult for them to hide from the water and wood barriers and the detection of the summoning jellyfish scattered underwater.

The only thing that makes people worry is the Yatagarasu in the sky. Unfortunately, after it was killed by Mizuki's Tailed Beast Cannon last time, Nagato will not be so unwise to attack from the sky so recklessly again.

"So, what are you going to do, Nagato?"

Mizuki cannot use the Thousand Orders, but he has many helpers, and the only one Nagato can count on is Hoshigaki Kisame and Uchiha Obito, who has ulterior motives.

If it were just conventional tactics, Nagato would not be able to crush one of the five major ninja villages, not to mention that there were elite troops from two of the ninja villages here.

Although the Six Paths of Pain cooperated well, with the constant support of Mizuki's Flying Thunder God Jutsu and the assistance of Yugao, they showed no signs of defeat for the time being.

In addition, there is another trouble waiting for Pain Tendou. The current battlefield is located in a lake that is larger than the entire Konoha Village. If Super Shinra Tensei or Chibaku Tensei is used, the gravity will not absorb rocks and soil, but lake water with no fixed shape. It will not have much destructive power, and the effect of the seal will be greatly reduced.
