"Absurd, ridiculous!"

"Who do you think you're talking to?"

"Do you think you can make the Akatsuki Organization abandon its plans with just those ridiculous words?"

"I have already given your Hidden Cloud Village a chance for 'peace,' but unfortunately, it seems your high-and-mighty Five Great Ninja Villages are not ready to accept the goodwill of our Akatsuki Organization."

"But that's normal!"

"You Five Great Nations are always so arrogant; the seemingly fragile peace within your borders is built entirely upon the suffering of smaller nations."

"You maintain your own stability by manipulating economies and inciting conflicts between small nations; this twisted system is the very source of 'pain.' Our goal in Akatsuki is to collect the nine Tailed Beasts and create the ultimate weapon. We will let the world experience the same pain as us and suppress war through fear. This is the only path to peace."

"For the sake of ultimate peace, it's time for you major nations to feel the pain!"

Deva Path Yahiko's tone was indifferent.

He exuded the arrogance of a 'god,' looking at the Fourth Raikage and the Kumogakure Ninja before him as if they were mere ants.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Hearing these words, the Fourth Raikage was completely dumbfounded!

Holy crap!

So the Akatsuki Organization, the public enemy of the Ninja World, was actually a damn peace organization?

But the problem is... does a terrorist organization like yours even deserve to talk about peace?

However, the Fourth Raikage was not the Tsunade from the original work; he had no interest in discussing peace with Deva Path Yahiko, because he knew such things were completely useless.

As a pragmatist, he understood clearly in his heart that today's battle was unavoidable.

Having realized this, he immediately spoke coldly.

"In that case, let's fight!"

"Let our fists do the talking!"

As he began to extract the Chakra within his body, his entire being instantly erupted with brilliant lightning.

'One-Finger Spear Hand!'

Precisely because he understood the terrifying nature of the enemy before him, the Fourth Raikage naturally had no intention of testing the waters.

His first move—was a killing blow!

After all, though his body had improved a lot after resting, he was still not in his peak state.

Not wanting to get bogged down in a long-drawn-out battle, he naturally prepared to end it quickly!

His speed was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning.

But unfortunately.

Facing the Fourth Raikage's so-called killing blow, even though his speed was at the limit, it was clearly visible in Deva Path Yahiko's Rinnegan.

'Shinra Tensei!'

He simply extended his right hand slowly, and a powerful repulsive force instantly erupted.

The Fourth Raikage was instantly sent flying.

Facing the power of Deva Path Yahiko's Rinnegan, the Fourth Raikage was like a ragdoll, smashing through countless civilian houses along the way, kicking up a massive cloud of dust.

'Banshō Tenin!'

Deva Path Yahiko struck again.

Having fought the Fourth Raikage before, he naturally had no intention of hiding his strength.

Almost in an instant.

In the distance, the Fourth Raikage, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, was captured by the massive gravitational force once again and flew directly toward Deva Path Yahiko.

"Dammit, everyone attack!"

Dodai spoke up immediately upon seeing this.

Seeing their Raikage's miserable state, many Kumogakure Ninja acted at once.

'Lightning Release: Liger Bomb!'

'Storm Release: Laser Circus!'

'Lava Release: Rubber Wall!'

'...'

As many Kumogakure powerhouses attacked, Deva Path Yahiko ignored them completely, still forcefully pulling the Fourth Raikage toward himself.

As for the Ninjutsu of the Kumogakure powerhouses, he didn't even spare them a second glance.

But in the next second.

The Preta Path stood in front of Deva Path Yahiko!

'Blocking Technique Absorption Seal!'

Almost in an instant.

The various Ninjutsu dissolved one after another, absorbed and devoured by the Preta Path, eventually being completely converted into Nagato's Chakra.

"Madara, are you still not going to act?"

Deva Path Yahiko spoke coldly.

Along with his words, the space around them distorted, and then the masked Obito appeared.

He didn't speak to Deva Path Yahiko, only giving him a cold look before immediately unleashing his signature Ninjutsu.

'Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance!'

The massive Fire Release was distorted by Kamui, forming a giant fire tornado that directly covered many Kumogakure powerhouses.

However... although this move injured many people, no one actually died.

It couldn't be helped!

Fire Release Ninjutsu could almost never achieve an instant kill against powerful opponents; its role was more to create chaos.

Immediately after.

Taking advantage of the confusion among the Kumogakure powerhouses, Obito charged directly at them.

"Kill!"

Many Kumogakure powerhouses charged at Obito.

But unfortunately.

Facing the killing moves of these Kumogakure powerhouses, Obito easily evaded them using 'Kamui' and then effortlessly killed his opponents.

He was practically moving through an uninhabited land!

On the other side.

Under the forced control of Deva Path's 'Banshō Tenin,' the Fourth Raikage was about to fly into Deva Path Yahiko's hands; although the Fourth Raikage kept trying to struggle along the way, it seemed to have no effect at all.

Just then, a loud roar came from afar.

"Bastard, dammit!"

"Let go of my brother—Lightning Release: Supervibrating Lightning Release Swords!"

Hearing this voice, Deva Path Yahiko narrowed his eyes slightly.

Through the Rinnegan, he could see Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, nearby, clad in his Tailed Beast Cloak; his Chakra intensity was terrifying as he charged directly at him with his Ninja blades.

It happened in the blink of an eye!

Before Deva Path Yahiko could switch moves, the opponent had already reached his side.

But in the next second.

The Asura Path blocked in front of Deva Path Yahiko and was instantly cut in two by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki; the remaining force sent Deva Path Yahiko flying, and 'Banshō Tenin' was naturally broken.

"Big brother, are you okay?"

Killer Bee didn't pursue Yahiko; instead, he looked at the Fourth Raikage with great concern.

To this.

Although the Fourth Raikage was very moved, he still roared: "Why did you come out, you idiot? Didn't I tell you to stay hidden and not show your face?"

"I..." Killer Bee fell silent.

The Fourth Raikage sighed.

Facing this scene, he didn't know what else to say.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Deva Path Yahiko didn't look at the corpse of the Asura Path before him, but stared straight at the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

A moment later.

The Naraka Path came to Deva Path Yahiko's side and directly summoned the King of Hell, tossing the Asura Path into its mouth.

Along with the King of Hell's chewing, it then spat out a fully restored Asura Path.

'Samsara Repair!'

Seeing the Asura Path regain its combat capability, Deva Path Yahiko spoke in a very calm tone.

"Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, you've finally shown yourself!"

"This time, you won't escape!"

"For the sake of long-lasting peace in the Ninja World, the Akatsuki Organization must capture you!"
