Thinking of this, Payne's eyes suddenly turned cold.
He stomped his foot and shot out!
In an instant, he was right in front of Danzo!
"Huh—?!" Danzo's pupils shrank sharply, unable to see the other's movements at all.
Danzo had just been hit by Shinra Tensei, and his blood and qi were already surging, making him a beat slower than usual.
Faced with Payne's overwhelming and swift offensive, he was almost powerless to defend himself and could only desperately swing his cane and kunai to block.
However, the difference in strength between the two was too great, and after only a few moves, Danzo revealed a fatal flaw!
"Pfft!"
A black rod was driven deep into Danzo's right hand, the force of which pinned his entire hand to the bluestone ground beneath his feet!
Danzo winced in pain, letting out a muffled groan as his five fingers trembled and spread open, causing his kunai to clatter to the ground.
“Asshole—!”
Danzo's temples throbbed with veins, and he desperately tried to pull his hand back, but it wouldn't budge.
"die."
Payne gave a low shout, and with his other hand, he once again conjured a black rod.
This time, his eyes were cold, and without the slightest hesitation, he smashed his head down hard on Danzo's head!
"Oh!"
A dull thud echoed in the courtyard, accompanied by the cracking sound of bones breaking and blood splattering.
Danzo's headless body also slumped limply under the violent impact.
However, before Pain could release the black rod pinning Danzo's hand, the bloody, mangled corpse in front of him suddenly twisted and then vanished into thin air!
Unexpectedly, Danzo's figure reappeared eerily in the shadow of the collapsed courtyard wall not far away.
His head was intact, and his right hand was unharmed, as if his tragic death had never happened.
Payne's expression finally changed.
"How can this be?!"
In just a few dozen seconds, he had "killed" Danzo twice, but the other party kept regenerating like an unkillable monster, and now there was not even a trace of injury left.
"Hehe..." Danzo caught his breath and felt a great sense of satisfaction seeing Pain's furious yet confused expression.
He couldn't help but raise his chin, letting out a sarcastic sneer, "What? Surprised?"
He stretched his limbs and sighed insincerely, "I must say, the power of the Rinnegan is indeed formidable. But for it to fall into your hands is nothing short of a desecration and a waste of these eyes!"
Payne did not answer, but stared intently at Danzo, his mind racing as he pondered the principles behind this incredible ability.
To be able to revive someone with a pierced heart and a shattered skull... this is no ordinary medical ninjutsu!
Danzo, not one to back down, continued with a sneer: "If your Rinnegan were in my hands, its power would be far more than it is now!"
"Only I am worthy of possessing this power!"
A murderous glint flashed in Payne's eyes, and the aura emanating from him grew increasingly fierce.
However, Danzo was not afraid. He pointed his kunai at Pain and threatened, "You brat, hand over the Rinnegan obediently! Since you're offering your treasure willingly, I might leave you a whole corpse!"
Pain's face was ashen. Danzo's strength was utterly insignificant; he could easily destroy him!
This resurrection is just too bizarre!
Can't it be killed in a short time...?
Despite his extreme rage, Payne managed to calm himself down, a cold light flickering deep within his Rinnegan.
Good, it would be too easy for him to die!
Catch them back, kill them slowly, and do it several times.
Payne instantly devised a plan, and his expression returned to its grim calm.
"All things are attracted by heaven!"
With a low shout, an overwhelming gravitational pull descended once more.
Danzo was horrified to find that his body was once again involuntarily lifted into the air and flying towards Pain.
It's the Universal Guidance again!
Danzo knew he was in trouble and tried his best to steady himself, but the force of gravity was terrifying. His feet left the ground and he was pulled straight towards the other person.
In a flash, Pain rushed forward and, taking advantage of Danzo's approach, suddenly attacked, swinging his black rod and striking Danzo's joints hard!
With a few muffled "thud" sounds of flesh being pierced, Danzo's two legs and left arm were each pierced and nailed shut by a black rod!
He was frozen in mid-air as if nailed to a cross, blood gushing from his wounds.
"Ugh—!" Danzo let out a shrill scream from the intense pain.
In an instant, Danzo's limbs were all crippled and he could not move, except for his mouth, which could still open and close.
Even so, a sinister grin still lingered on his face: "Kid, you—"
Payne, too lazy to listen to the other's nonsense, turned cold and was about to take him away.
However, at this very moment, another mutation occurs—
All that could be seen was Danzo's body, which had been nailed to the ground like a hedgehog with black rods, once again vanishing into nothingness with a "poof" sound!
The black rods that had been driven into his limbs fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
It... disappeared again?!
Payne's pupils dilated, and his usually stern face finally darkened completely.
Even if he isn't killed, this strange spell will still be activated?
"It's no use!" A hoarse but powerful voice came from the side.
Payne turned his head and saw that Danzo had somehow appeared a few meters away, standing in the shadow of a collapsed pillar.
He straightened his disheveled clothes, calmly stepped out of the darkness, and spoke coldly.
"No matter how many times you try, the result will be the same."
The old man, whose face was half-hidden in the darkness, had a mocking smile on his lips.
He was calm and collected, as if he knew Payne couldn't do anything to him.
Upon hearing this, Payne finally stopped his pursuit.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger and forcing himself to calmly analyze the situation.
With purple light flowing from his Rinnegan, he concentrated his chakra in his pupils and stared intently at Danzo, trying to find the flaw in this strange and profound technique.
During the series of exchanges just now, Pain vaguely sensed that every time he successfully "killed" Danzo, a strange chakra fluctuation would permeate the air—
These fluctuations come and go quickly, as if they directly alter some kind of "rule".
It was as if... some force forcibly reversed Danzo's death, pulling him back from the end of his destiny.
"A technique that directly alters reality..." Payne murmured.
The most troublesome thing right now is that no matter how he attacks, he can't inflict any substantial and sustained damage on Danzo.
Nagato realized he had been overconfident. If the Hungry Ghost Path and the Human Path were here, perhaps there would be a way to break the deadlock.
Although the Heavenly Dao is the most powerful.
However, faced with this strange ability, they felt somewhat helpless.
In the darkness, Danzo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Pain had finally stopped his attack.
Payne's strength far exceeded his expectations, and he was powerless to resist.
The Rinnegan is just too powerful!
But he didn't dare to move rashly and could only stand there with difficulty.
After all, each of his "resurrections" was accompanied by the closure of one of his Sharingan eyes, and at this moment, there were very few Sharingan eyes left on his arm.
If I die a few more times, I'll run out of cards.
But before he could think further, a hurried shout suddenly came from the nearby street: "Intruder—!"
Before the words were even finished, a red signal flare ripped through the night sky above Konoha!
With a long whoosh, the signal flare soared into the sky, then exploded in mid-air, illuminating half the village in red.
The piercing alarm bells then rang throughout the night sky.
The nearby patrols of the Anbu and various squads of ninjas all sprang into action upon hearing the commotion, and figures appeared on rooftops and in alleyways from all directions.
"over there!"
"Such powerful chakra... The enemy is no ordinary person!"
"Send a signal quickly! Requesting backup—!"
One command after another rose and fell, and figures rapidly converged on this side.
Payne looked up at the dazzling red light in mid-air, his brows furrowing suddenly.
He sensed powerful streams of chakra approaching him at an alarming speed.
It seems the commotion in the courtyard has finally alerted the village guards.
Payne muttered a curse under his breath and glanced coldly at Danzo.
A hint of malice and mockery flashed in Danzo's eyes: "It seems you have no chance!"
Payne's expression was ashen.
If we don't leave now, we'll have to go to war with Konoha...
The Akatsuki organization is not yet fully prepared to break ties with the five major powers.
His mind raced, and he quickly made a decision: this time, we'll retreat!
It's not too late to take his life after we figure out the details of this technique!
