On the tall tree, Obito glanced down at Nagato below, remarking somewhat strangely, "The situation is unfavorable. The abilities of the Human Path, the Naraka Path, and the Preta Path have all been eliminated, which is troublesome."

"It seems your information has leaked. There aren't many in the organization who know your abilities. Who could it be?" 

Nagato's emaciated face showed no expression, only a cold gleam in his purple eyes as he blandly replied, "It doesn't matter. The gods won't lose their power just because mortals understand them. As long as the Deva Path exists, Pain is invincible."

Obito relaxed against the tree trunk, his voice hoarse as he said, "Alright, but I'll intervene if necessary..."

"No need. You don't have to do anything extra," Nagato bluntly interrupted, "The gods cannot fail!"

---

In the battlefield, Izuna Uchiha had already taken advantage of the moment when Nagato ceased his Shinra Tensei ninjutsu to appear behind Susanoo.

"Is this kid still not recovered?" Izuna glanced at the motionless Kaito and then back at Chiri, "It seems it's up to just the two of us for now."

"Please, Izuna, protect Kaito for the time being. Leave the rest to me," Chiri softly said, then drew the second ninja blade from her waist.

Izuna smiled and agreed.

"Are you ready to dance, Chiri? Then I'll be watching," Izuna remarked with a high voice as he stepped out from behind Susanoo.

Hearing this, Nagato, with a cold look, stared at her, "You're the only one stepping forward. Are you trying to buy time for your comrades? Although I don't know what Kaito is preparing, in the face of god, everything you do is futile."

"As someone who claims to be a god," Chiri raised her head to look at Nagato, "In my eyes, you're no different from us, just a struggle of mortals."

"As a mortal like you, of course, you cannot understand the greatness of god, and god does not need your understanding. Because when god decides your fate, any words and actions will be futile struggles."

"Truly someone impossible to converse with," Chiri remarked with some helplessness.

She reversed her hand and inserted the ninja blade into the ground, forming seals with both hands.

"Sage Art, Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire!"

Different from the ordinary C-rank Fire Style ninjutsu, Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, with Sage Chakra, produced several huge fireballs from her mouth successively, roaring towards the remaining three enemies.

Then, she crouched and pulled out her two ninja blades, rushing forward under the cover of the Fire Style ninjutsu.

"It's useless, Shinra Tensei!"

Facing Chiri's attack, Nagato simply raised his hands, deflecting all the fireballs instantly and blocking her charge, forcefully pushing her back.

At the same time, the crab summon spewed a foam towards her from afar.

Meanwhile, the Asura Path began transforming one of its arms. Several missiles shot out from its arm, trailing flames, colliding with her body.

Boom!

An explosion sounded, but only splinters flew out. Izuna's figure had already appeared on the other side.

"Substitution Jutsu, futile struggle," Nagato aimed his palm at Chiri, "Universal Pull!"

Under the influence of gravity, Chiri's body was pulled towards Nagato involuntarily.

"Uchiha Style, Flame Dance!"

Both blades in Chiri's hands ignited with flames. Adjusting her posture under the influence of gravity, she lifted two giant blades formed by flames towards Nagato.

"Roar!!!"

The red giant dog, now with four heads, suddenly charged forward. Its four brains shook, emitting roars, blocking Nagato's path.

The two flaming blades in Izuna's hands immediately struck the giant dog. The flames exploded, and the dog let out a painful howl.

Chiri pulled back her blades to prepare to create distance, but unexpectedly, the parts of the dog's body hit by the blades grew two new heads.

One of the heads suddenly lunged out, its large mouth biting onto Izuna. Its sharp teeth pierced through her body, causing blood to flow profusely for a moment.

"I told you, struggle is futile!" Nagato's cold voice sounded. He walked out from behind the giant dog, "Mortals are destined not to challenge the dignity of god! So, rest assured, because your comrades will soon follow in your footsteps."

Seeing Chiri, with her head hanging low and no signs of life, and her ninja blade dropped to the ground, Nagato shifted his gaze towards Izuna and Kaito, protected by Susanoo.

"It seems abandoning your comrades won't prolong your lives any further. Now it's your turn."

Shh!!

The sound of a blade piercing flesh suddenly sounded behind him.

What?

Nagato turned to look, and Chiri appeared beside the Animal Path, her two ninja blades already pierced into its body.

Bang!

At the same time, Chiri in the dog's mouth turned into smoke.

"How did you do that?" Nagato looked at Chiri, cracks appearing in his unchanging cold expression, "Since you've obtained information about Pain's Six Paths, you should know our vision is shared."

However, neither the three remaining on the battlefield nor Nagato, controlling from afar, had noticed how Chiri appeared beside the Animal Path.

"Sword Leap Flame."

Chiri's ninja blade ignited again, completely burning the inside of the Animal Path's body.

At the same time, the giant dog and crab she had summoned turned into dust and disappeared from the arena.

"How did I do it?" Chiri withdrew her ninja blade from the body of the Animal Path, smiling at Nagato, "You who claim to be a god, actually need to ask me, a mere mortal?"

"I admit, I underestimated you before," Nagato furrowed his brows, "But I will not give you any respite now."

A black rod slid from the sleeve of his right hand, which he then held out in his palm, and extended his left hand toward Chiri.

"Universal Pull!"

A stronger gravitational force than before made Chiri's body unable to maintain balance; she was instantly pulled in front of him, and the black rod in his right hand blocked the ninja blade she managed to swing.

At the same time, the remaining Asura Path's body began to transform, several arms combining to form a massive cannon aimed at Izuna.

"Asura Attack!"

A massive chakra visible to the naked eye gathered at the cannon's muzzle, then transformed into a thick beam of light, shooting directly at Izuna.

Boom!

An unprecedentedly violent explosion sounded, and cracking noises continuously came from the exterior of Susanoo.

Because he needed to protect the immobilized Kaito behind him, he had to exert all his chakra continuously repairing the damage to Susanoo.
