Suddenly, a cry of alarm rang out from outside the cave: "They're here!"
Upon hearing the exclamation, Jiraiya and Mei Terumi didn't hesitate and immediately teleported out of the cave.
As soon as they emerged from the cave, Jiraiya and Mei Terumi heard a deafening roar, accompanied by an extremely terrifying shockwave that reverberated above the Valley of the End.
Looking up, one could see that the defensive barrier surrounding the Valley of the End had lit up, preventing the explosion from occurring.
In Jiraiya and Mei Terumi's perception, if it weren't for the defensive barrier, this explosion would probably have been enough to change the terrain of the Valley of the End.
The reason why the defensive barrier is so strong is that the defensive barrier of the Valley of the End is jointly set up by the Kage of the major ninja villages and the Edo Tensei (reanimation) users.
Its sturdiness is sufficient to withstand the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.
Meanwhile, in the sky above, atop a white clay bird, Kakuzu saw the undamaged defensive barrier and couldn't help but taunt, "Hey, Deidara, this time your explosion is anything but artistic."
Upon hearing this, Deidara's face darkened instantly, and he said, "If you keep babbling, I'll let you taste what it's like to explode."
Kakuzu wasn't afraid of Deidara at all, and said nonchalantly, "Then come and see."
Kakuzu's words and attitude enraged Deidara, who was about to attack Kakuzu, but was stopped by Pain.
Pain looked at the defensive barrier beneath him, his expression slightly serious.
Pain was well aware that the C3-18 that Deidara had just dropped was powerful enough to destroy a village.
Even with such power, C3-18 could not shake the defensive barrier beneath it, which gives an idea of how sturdy the barrier was.
However, no matter how strong this defensive barrier is, its essence as chakra will not change.
Without hesitation, Pain Deva said, "Hungry Ghost Path, you go and give it a try."
Without hesitation, the Preta Path, with Deidara's help, rode the carefully crafted clay bird and flew swiftly toward the barrier.
The moment they reached the barrier, the Hungry Ghost Path reached out and pressed his hand against it, softly uttering, "Sealing Technique Absorption Seal!"
The Sealing Seal Absorption Seal is one of the abilities of the Rinnegan. Its essence is to reverse the chakra circulation within the body and absorb the techniques of the opponent in front of you.
Not only is it difficult, but any amount of chakra inhaled will dissipate within the body, as if sinking into a bottomless swamp.
As soon as the Hungry Ghost Path used the sealing technique Absorption Seal, the defensive barrier turned into a torrent of chakra, which was quickly absorbed into the Hungry Ghost Path's body.
However, because the defensive barrier covering the entire Valley of the End was so vast, even the Hungry Ghost Path took a full three or four minutes to absorb all the chakra from the barrier.
Naturally, the defensive barrier collapsed on its own.
Upon seeing this, a look of joy appeared on the face of the Hungry Ghost Path. Without hesitation, he rode the clay bird back to Pain's side.
Afterwards, Deidara piloted a large clay bird, carrying all the members of the Akatsuki organization, and flew towards the Valley of the End.
Upon entering the Valley of the End, the Akatsuki members saw Jiraiya, Mei Terumi, and the various Jinchuriki already on high alert.
Upon seeing Pain and Konan, Jiraiya's expression suddenly became excited, and he exclaimed, "Pain, Konan, it's you two, isn't it!"
The other members of Akatsuki, as well as the others present, couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Pain and Konan.
Pain and Konan, oblivious to the stares around them, responded to Jiraiya, saying, "Jiraiya-sensei, it's been a long time."
As she spoke, Konan looked at Jiraiya's reanimated body and couldn't help but feel a little sad, saying, "I never thought that our reunion would be in this way."
The expressions of everyone else present changed after hearing what Pain and Konan said.
Clearly, they hadn't expected that Jiraiya, Pain, and Konan had such a connection.
After confirming the identities of Pain and Konan, Jiraiya immediately said, "Pain, Konan, we have a lot to talk about. Why don't we sit down and have a good discussion?"
As he spoke, Jiraiya's face couldn't help but show a look of anticipation.
Jiraiya had already figured out how to tell Pain and Konan about Chen Anxia and the dark things, and how to get them to join his side to fight against Chen Anxia.
However, harsh reality poured cold water on Jiraiya's hopes.
Pain Tendo replied, "Jiraiya-sensei, there's nothing more to discuss between us."
Before Jiraiya could react, Pain continued, "Now, you have two choices: either hand over your Jinchuriki to us and we'll leave immediately."
"The other option is for us to kill you all and then take the Jinchuriki away."
"One minute. I'll only give you one minute to think."
After saying that, Pain stopped talking and said no more.
Because Pain was the official leader of the Akatsuki, the other Akatsuki members had no objections.
Jiraiya wanted to say something, but seeing the cold and distant expressions on Pain and Konan's faces, he couldn't bring himself to speak.
Disappointment, loss, sadness and other emotions welled up in Jiraiya's heart.
Mei Terumi, standing to the side, spoke coldly, "One minute? No, I'll give you the answer right now."
With that, Mei Terumi formed hand seals and spat out a breath towards the Akatsuki members.
Lava Release: Lava Monster Technique!
Immediately, a large amount of sticky and highly corrosive acid was spat out from Mei Terumi's mouth and sprayed violently onto the Akatsuki members.
In the original work, this move is extremely powerful and can be used over a wide area; its strength is even enough to melt Susanoo.
However, although this move is extremely powerful, its essence is still chakra.
So...
"Sealing Technique Absorbing Seal!"
......
Chapter 655: The Great Battle Erupts!
A terrible war broke out.
The Akatsuki organization also demonstrated extremely terrifying strength in this great battle, managing to withstand the combined forces of the two major ninja villages, Konoha and Kirigakure, without being defeated.
But this is not the outcome the Akatsuki organization wanted to see.
The Akatsuki knew that the Shinobi Alliance had four major ninja villages. Right now, only the forces of two major ninja villages were enough to hold them back. If the forces of the other two major ninja villages also arrived, wouldn't they be defeated in no time?
Pain, who single-handedly stopped the reanimated ninjas from two major ninja villages, couldn't help but frown upon seeing this.
Clearly, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable for the Akatsuki organization.
Pain, at this moment, only hopes that Madara Uchiha can act quickly, otherwise...
Hozuki Gengetsu, the Second Mizukage among the reanimated survivors of Kirigakure, felt a throbbing vein on his forehead when he saw Pain Devado daring to be distracted while fighting him. He then unleashed his full power without holding back.
Other impure world reincarnations did the same.
Suddenly, the pressure on Pain's Deva Path increased dramatically.
Not only Pain, but as time went on, other members of Akatsuki felt increasing pressure.
Deidara, who once again dodged Kakashi's attack while riding his clay bird, couldn't help but say angrily, "Hey, how about I unleash a C3 No. 18 and make sure they all witness the art of explosion?"
Not far away, Sasori, who was fighting Might Guy, heard this and angrily retorted, "Idiot, if you use C3-18 here, won't it affect us too?"
Upon hearing this, the people from the two major ninja villages around them tensed up, even though they didn't understand the conversation between Deidara and Sasori.
However, they knew that Deidara possessed extremely powerful wide-range attack techniques, which were the techniques he initially used to bombard the defensive barrier.
They didn't know what C3-18 that Deidara was talking about was, nor did they know how powerful C3-18 was compared to the initial attack that bombarded the defensive barrier.
But they knew very well that, putting everything else aside, just Deidara's initial bombardment of their defensive barrier was enough to give them a run for their money.
In fact, not only Deidara, but also Pain and Konan also possess wide-range and extremely powerful techniques.
However, these moves consume a great deal of energy and are indiscriminate in dealing with both friend and foe.
Therefore, they will not use these moves unless absolutely necessary.
Deidara knew this too, and after letting out a disgruntled snort, he didn't bring it up again.
The battle continues.
Hidden in the shadows, Obito Uchiha frowned slightly as he watched the Akatsuki members gradually fall into a disadvantageous position. He muttered to himself, "Why hasn't Madara Uchiha made a move yet? What is he waiting for?"
According to Akatsuki's strategy, Obito Uchiha was responsible for hiding in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to launch a sneak attack, and bringing the Jinchuriki into the Kamui dimension.
Therefore, up to this point, the Akatsuki organization has been creating opportunities for Obito Uchiha.
Indeed, the Akatsuki organization created many opportunities for Obito Uchiha, but Obito Uchiha did not take action.
Because Obito Uchiha was waiting, waiting for Madara Uchiha to appear.
However, as the situation worsened, Obito Uchiha could no longer wait and wanted to make a move.
Not only Obito Uchiha, but all the members of Akatsuki were puzzled, unable to understand why Obito hadn't made a move. Was it because he hadn't found the right opportunity, or...?
Finally, Kakuzu couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to curse 'Uchiha Madara' to hurry up and make a move, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
After all, his opponent was Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin.
Just then, a figure dressed in red Sengoku light armor descended from the sky and landed directly in the battlefield of the Valley of the End.
The sudden appearance of this figure drew the attention of everyone present, and their faces showed astonishment.
The Ninja Alliance was astonished: why did Madara Uchiha appear?
Jiraiya knew very well that the mysterious masked man who had appeared with the Akatsuki was not Madara Uchiha.
Therefore, in Jiraiya's view, Madara Uchiha did not join the Akatsuki organization.
Jiraiya told the Kage of each of the major ninja villages about this when he was planning the battle at the Valley of the End.
Therefore, in their view, Madara Uchiha would not interfere in this battle at the Valley of the End.
Now, Madara Uchiha has appeared. So why has he appeared?
Thinking it over, Jiraiya couldn't help but ask, "Uchiha Madara, what brings you here?"
This question is of great interest not only to the Ninja Alliance but also to the Akatsuki organization.
The Akatsuki members couldn't understand why Madara Uchiha didn't continue to hide. Why did he choose to reveal himself?
Also, what's with Madara Uchiha's outfit?
Amidst the bewilderment and stares of the crowd, Madara Uchiha crossed his arms and looked at Jiraiya with a cold and arrogant expression, saying, "Hand over the Jinchuriki, and I'll let you go."
Before Jiraiya could react to Madara Uchiha's arrogant words, Konan flew over, frowning as she asked, "Madara, why did you show yourself? Didn't we agree to proceed according to plan?"
