Naruto, I will reveal the truth Chapter 166

Having dealt with the Ten-Thousand Snakes that rampaged through Iwagakure, Onoki finally let out a sigh of relief.

Dust Release was still very chakra-consuming, and he was already old, so he couldn’t maintain it for as long as he could in his youth.

Looking at the Akatsuki leader opposite him, who was also shocked by the power of Dust Release, Onoki began to descend to the ground.

“Ten-Thousand Snakes is dead. Lure him to the ground and let the Stone Shinobi surround him!”

Pain also noticed Onoki’s movements and launched a Shinra Tensei.

The repulsive force created ripples in the air.

Onoki retreated rapidly, dodging the repulsive wave of Shinra Tensei.

“Onoki, are you planning to escape?”

Onoki’s face was solemn, and he didn’t answer but continued to descend.

In the past, only Onoki could fly, giving him an advantage in the air. Now that everyone could fly, being in the air became Onoki’s disadvantage.

“Onoki, look at your 1.4-meter height. No wonder the ninja world says Kitsuchi isn’t your son!”

Onoki gritted his teeth in anger at Pain’s words, but he still remained silent and landed directly on the ground.

With no opponent, Pain could only lower himself, hovering a little over two meters above the ground.

A large number of Stone Shinobi, drawn by the Ten-Thousand Snakes, slowly surrounded Pain.

This height was enough for the surrounding Stone Shinobi to attack him.

“Everyone, pay attention! Earth Release: Stone Rain! Volley fire!”

At Onoki’s command, the surrounding Stone Shinobi spontaneously joined the coordinated combat mode.

“Begin!”

Genin, Jonin, and Chunin alike, thousands of Stone Shinobi simultaneously formed hand signs, sending a dense rain of stones towards Pain in mid-air!

If not for the limited space, Onoki, being on home ground, could have commanded even more ninja.

“Bring it on!”

Pain shouted.

“Today, I will let you know that the power of a god is unshakable!”

Just as the dense rain of stones was about to reach him.

“Shinra Tensei!”

With a soft cry from Pain, a violent repulsive force erupted from his body.

In an instant, the stone rain was completely reversed, flying back towards the original ninja at double the speed!

The stones launched by the Stone Shinobi became Pain’s best weapons, greatly enhancing the power of Shinra Tensei!

“No! Quick, defend!”

Onoki’s cry of alarm had barely left his lips when the stones, doubled in speed by the repulsive force, already struck.

The Stone Shinobi standing behind barely managed to release Earth Wall for defense, while those in front were already engulfed in a rain of rocks, exploding into bursts of blood!

When everything settled, everyone was stunned!

Centered around Pain, the ground within thirty meters was clean.

Beyond thirty meters, within a visible hundred-meter radius, the ground was a bloody red!

Flesh fragments and severed limbs covered the ground!

The Stone Shinobi who had fortunately released Earth Wall were stained crimson by the falling blood rain!

Of the thousands of ninja, less than a hundred could still stand at this moment!

Orochimaru stood in the distance, looking at the battlefield center, where blood flowed like a river, his forked tongue constantly flicking in the air.

“Sugoi! Is this the power of the Rinnegan?”

“I really, really want to study it!”

And at this moment, Onoki, in the center of the battlefield, recovered from the horrific scene.

“Pai~n~!”

“My Iwagakure and your Akatsuki will fight to the death~~”

Onoki was covered in crimson, half an intestine hanging on his shoulder. Coupled with his eyes, which were bloodshot from extreme rage, he looked like a demon who had just crawled out of hell!

The surrounding Stone Shinobi also looked similar to Onoki, standing amidst the severed limbs, their eyes bloodshot, staring fixedly at Pain in mid-air.

“Hmph! A fight to the death indeed!”

Pain was very satisfied with the scene that had just unfolded. If the enemies had attacked him chaotically, it would have been troublesome, but such a uniform attack became a ready-made weapon.

This wave was a perfect display of divine power, allowing Pain to truly show off!

“From the moment your Iwagakure sent ninja to invade my Amegakure, we were already fighting to the death!”

“Otherwise, why do you think I, living well in Amegakure, would come to Iwagakure to cause destruction?”

“You…”

Onoki was furious and humiliated, yet speechless.

Now that they were enemies, whatever they did, the most important thing was to find a way to repel the enemy.

“Stone Shinobi, listen to my command! All Genin and Chunin withdraw from the battlefield! Jonin form teams of three and attack from staggered positions!”

Onoki was not a fool. After multiple clashes, he had a rough understanding of this ninjutsu’s effect.

Extremely fast activation!

No hand signs required!

360-degree repulsion with no blind spots!

However, this repulsion seemed to come in waves. If the attack frequency was staggered…

Onoki didn’t believe such a powerful ninjutsu had no flaws!

When Pain heard Onoki’s words, he maintained a calm exterior, but his heart was a little flustered.

Shinra Tensei had a cooldown, though only a few seconds. But for a Jonin, a few seconds was enough to launch several attacks!

“Stone Shinobi Jonin, attack individually!”

At Onoki’s command, the dozen or so Genin and Chunin who had miraculously survived began to retreat. More Jonin joined the battlefield from a distance, adjusting their angles and launching probing attacks at Pain in mid-air!

Just then!

“Boom~ Boom~ Boom~…”

Huge explosions occurred simultaneously in several parts of the village, raising sky-obscuring dust!

……

At the same time, at the Iwagakure gate.

Kitsuchi and a group of Stone Shinobi were also engaged in a bitter struggle.

There weren’t many opponents, only four, but each was a top-tier expert.

Sasori of the Red Sand, a rogue ninja from Sunagakure, controlled the puppet made from the Third Kazekage.

Juzo Biwa, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, was slaughtering Stone Shinobi with his Kubikiribocho.

The only one who was easiest to deal with was Deidara, who had run away from their own Iwagakure!

And Kitsuchi’s current opponent was a blue-haired woman with paper wings.

Dense paper airplanes flew through the crowd, occasionally finding an opportunity to cause an explosion.

These paper airplanes were all made of explosive tags!

“Damn it!”

Kitsuchi was furious. This was his first time encountering a ninja who used explosive tags as weapons.

The opponent could attack and retreat, while his own attacks would be blown to smithereens midway.

Because he came in a hurry, Kitsuchi hadn’t brought many ninja. As long as he could hold back these enemies who dared to invade Iwagakure, the village’s continuous stream of ninja would eventually overwhelm them.

But now, Kitsuchi also heard the commotion from inside the village. After the initial batch of supporting ninja arrived, there were no more.

Kitsuchi understood that a more troublesome enemy had appeared inside the village.

Everyone’s families were in the village, so they had gone to support the more important village interior.

Just then!

“Boom~ Boom~ Boom~…”

Huge explosions occurred simultaneously in several parts of the village, raising sky-obscuring dust!
