"pain!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi repeated the sentence heavily, his heart filled with extreme anger. He could feel the strange gazes cast upon him by the Konoha ninjas around him; he had just finished speaking when Danzo's men humiliated him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's rationality was almost completely destroyed. If Danzo hadn't disappeared without a trace, Hiruzen would have almost fought him to the death.
Taking a few deep breaths to suppress his anger, the old monkey sneered coldly.
"What do you, someone who invades other people's villages, understand!"
How could you possibly understand the pain I feel for not being able to protect Konoha? Konoha is the lifeblood my teacher entrusted to me; I would do anything to protect it!
"Anything!"
Pain turned back with a cold smile, staring intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a meaningful look. "That includes invading other countries, doesn't it?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt bewildered by Pain's accusations and even felt a little wronged, as he remembered Konoha as the one being invaded.
"Konoha has always been a peace-loving village. When has it ever invaded other countries?"
"And what about the Land of Rain?"
Pain stepped forward and continued to interrogate her. Behind him, Pain's sister, Pain, and others dragged Konan, whose eyes were filled with worry, and leaped out of Konoha Village.
"The war in the Land of Rain was started by Hanzo himself; Konoha was merely dragged into it!"
Pain's gaze felt tangible as it fell upon him, bringing immense pressure to Hiruzen Sarutobi. Coupled with his current agitated state of mind, he spoke faster and faster, almost without thinking.
"This is determined by the location of the Land of Rain. Don't be ungrateful. You have no one to blame but yourselves for your bad fate. You deserve to suffer!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's words silenced the room. He was stunned after speaking, realizing he had inadvertently revealed his true thoughts.
slap slap slap
On the Hokage Rock, Hyuga Kaze couldn't help but clap his hands. With his superhuman senses, he heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's words clearly. He could even see Pain's distorted face and Konan's sudden stagger.
"You old devils really know how to talk. The enemy is about to leave and you're still provoking people. You'll know what real pain is in a moment."
slap slap
Hinata Kaze was watching the commotion with great interest when he suddenly received two slaps on the back of the head.
"Enough nonsense! I'll make that old beast suffer right now! This bastard dared to desecrate my father's body, and you're still in the mood to watch the show!"
Kurenai Yuhi, who had just emerged from the training room, was furious. From the exclamations, she learned that Hiruzen Sarutobi had used the Impure World Reincarnation to desecrate her father, and Kurenai was now burning with rage.
"That's right!"
Beside Kurenai, Tsunade's hands clenched so tightly they cracked, her beautiful face filled with murderous intent.
"He has repeatedly disrespected our two grandfathers; we cannot let him get away with this. If you try to stop me again today with excuses like 'he'll soon suffer a terrible fate,' I'll show you what a terrible fate truly means!"
As Tsunade spoke, her pearly white teeth chattered together, almost sparking, as if she were about to bite Hyuga Kaze to death.
Seeing Tsunade's clenched teeth, Hyuga Kaze felt a sudden chill between his thighs. He tried to comfort the two furious women.
"Don't worry, the time for reckoning has come. Today, that old dog Hiruzen Sarutobi must die. Even the Sage of Six Paths can't stop him, I said it!"
Kurenai, Tsunade, and the others were all furious at Hiruzen Sarutobi's disgusting actions and shameless words, not to mention Nagato, who was already filled with hatred. Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, which were clearly from the bottom of his heart, completely negated their years of perseverance and sacrifice, and it was as if he were dancing on Yahiko's grave in front of them.
In an instant, Nagato made up his mind to give Hiruzen Sarutobi the most profound painful experience. Ignoring Konan's strong objections, the Loli Path and the Asura Path quickly left Konoha with her.
Just as Hyuga Kaze was comforting Tsunade and the others, Pain, carrying a mountain-like pressure, floated into the air and began chanting a lament.
"How many floors do you have to carry a bag of rice up? (Feel the pain.) How many floors do you have to carry a bag of rice up? (Think about the pain.) How many floors do you have to carry? (Accept the pain.) How many floors do you have to carry? (Understand the pain.)..."
As he chanted, an invisible force began to spread, seemingly enveloping the entire Hidden Leaf Village. Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Hidden Leaf Village ninjas all paled; they could feel the vastness and power of that force, making it almost impossible for them to move.
"Spicy and pungent!"
As Pain spoke his final words, an incomparably powerful, invisible repulsive force expanded endlessly from him. Wherever the repulsive force touched, everything crumbled, the earth shook, and the ground undulated like surging waves.
"Good timing!"
Facing Nagato's strongest attack, Hyuga Kaze's expression became slightly more serious. He sensed the immense power of Pain's attack. Almost at the same time as Shinra Tensei was released, Hyuga Kaze activated his true energy, and a powerful and unparalleled aura surged around him.
Then, Hyuga Kaze unleashed a palm strike, sending a 5-meter-long palm print flying from his hand. This palm print, after flying out, spontaneously gathered boundless natural power in mid-air, eventually transforming into a gigantic palm print a hundred meters in size. The palm print, originating from the Hokage Rock, struck Pain like a meteor.
Two terrifying forces collided violently in mid-air, triggering a massive air blast and a deafening roar. The entire Hidden Leaf Village seemed to tremble violently at that moment, and almost all of its previously intact buildings were completely destroyed.
Especially those areas sandwiched between Shinra Tensei and Hyuga Kaze's Eight Trigrams Palm, were almost instantly turned into ruins, and even the building remains were crushed into ashes by the immense force of both sides.
After a while, the billowing smoke and dust slowly settled, but the air was still filled with the pungent smell of mud and burnt earth, making people want to cover their mouths and noses.
Looking around, one could see that the entire Hidden Leaf Village had been almost completely destroyed. The original locations of those buildings had been filled and buried by the massive amount of mud that had been stirred up. The center of the clash between the two forces looked as if it had experienced an apocalyptic catastrophe.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other Konoha ninjas were almost at the center of Nagato and Hyuga Kaze's attack. Under attack from both sides, those who were weaker did not even have time to scream before turning into a cloud of blood mist.
Of course, some stronger individuals managed to evade the impact by using timely methods, but they remained hidden and dared not show themselves.
"Tsk tsk tsk, if this were on Earth, it would truly be a scene of steam rising from the Yunmeng Marsh and waves shaking Yueyang City."
Hyuga Kaze, with a purple-haired ANBU member in his arms, sighed at the scene before him. This was the ninja who had just been blasted away by Nagato's Shinra Tensei.
Hinata Kaze couldn't bear to see such a beautiful woman with stunning looks, long purple hair, and a delicate figure die, so he raised his hand to absorb her and protect her. He certainly didn't have any bad intentions.
