Chapter 77 - FIGHTING PAIN

Ichizu entered the rain village and walked inside an empty alley. It was the same place where Konan attacked Jiraiya. He stopped walking as 100s of paper booms suddenly flew towards him.

Ichizu transformed one of his black orbs into a scythe and used *Silent Waltz* ,he swings it in a circle, generating an invisible slash that propagates in all directions.It bisected every one of the papers into extremely small pieces so that even Konan couldn't control them any longer.

(A/N:-I have changed the scythe design and am now using Kite's scythe from Hunter X hunter.)

The slash didn't stop at bisecting the paper but the whole area he was standing in was slashed apart into two.....pipes bursted the whole frame collapsed.

Ishtar and Eresgkigal sweat dropped in their concealed form after seeing the size of the scythe and the damage it did.

Konan suddenly appeared in the air in front of him flying looking at Ichizu with wariness and a little fear.

'He just shredded my papers in an instant ,I wasn't even able to make them explode...I won't win against him....I will probably die as he wouldn't allow me to fly away and I will only sign my death warrent if I transformed into paper form.' thought Konan as she looked towards the otherworldly handsome man of about 23 or 24 years old age standing in front of her with a huge scythe resting on his shoulder as he carried a light smile on hia face.

Seeing his appearance and no chakra presence I would have assumed him to be a normal person...if only i didn't knew any better.

The person who even Madara avoids, the Great elder of Konoha and future head of the Uchiha clan ,the strongest Uchiha after Madara in his prime (She thinks so.) and what not.

"May I ask what the Great-Elder of Konoha is doing in the Hidden rain village.???" asked Konan while shamelessly ignoring the fact that she had just attacked him.

"Ohh...don't mind me I am here just to kill Pain nothing to big." said Ichizu while smiling innocently.

I nearly pucked blood due to the shamelessness that vile creature has just displayed.

Though I too acted shameless a second ago...I wasn't this shameless. I gritted my teeth knowing that a hard battle is about to greet both Pain and I ,we will face an absolute monster who can even scare Madara.

We both know about the power of M.S ,the only reason why we haven't attacked Konoha is Itachi ,Pain feels threatened only by two beings in the whole Akatsuki. One being Madara while the other being Itachi.

We know just how terrifying Itachi can be when he uses his Susano with his black flames. Even Pain wouldn't win when Itachi fought with his all. And now we need to fight an even bigger monster.

(A/N:- Here I am using Konan's perceptive. Also I am not following the canon here Pain knows about Susano.)

"I can't let you win....."

Spears of paper launched towards Ichizu.

He coated his scythe with *wind-release* and swings upwards ,whispering "Slient-symphony..."

A terrifying slash-blast launched towards me and arrived in front of me in a flash as all the spears were already shredded to pieces. I couldn't dodge in time as the attack was too fast for me two move.

Knowing that this was the end I closes my eyes while thinking 'I will soon reunite with Yahiko'.

But suddenly I felt something wrapping around my waist and pulling me backwards with great movementum as I narrowly escaped my death.

I opened my eyes to see 'him' looking towards me with a smile when suddenly one face passed through the illusion.....it was the same face but without any emotion, without an expression ,without any life just a doll nothing else.

"Pain....." I said after watching him saving me from death...their were 6-avatars of Nagato standing behind me on a giant chameleon.

"Sorry but I can't fight against him as he destroys my attacks even before they can reach near him." said Konan in frustration.

"Doesn't matter he will die here...no one can defy God."

"Yo.....you must be Pain...I have heard so much about you ,the rinnegan user though I know none of these are your true body.....it doesn't matter as I will surely find out were you are hiding." said Ichizu with a smile on his face.

Everyone froze after hearing what Ichizu just said and thought only one thing 'Kill him at all cost.'

Pain(Nakara-path) ,Pain(Human-path) tries to use soul attacks on Ichizu while Pain(Asura-path) launches many missiles towards him.

Ichizu just smiled as Ishtar and Eresgkigal suddenly appeared on the both sides of Ichizu. Ishtar launches many arrows not only to intercept the incoming missiles but also attack every single one of the Pain-versions.

Eresgkigal being blessed with the ability *Protection from the underworld* uses her authority over underworld to deny Pain(Nakara-path) as it used it's ability *King of hell* to prepare for restoration of the other Pain-versions. Due to Eresgkigal's authority as the Goddess of the Underworld the ability was cancelled resulting in him being pierced by 2-arrows of Ishtar.

Pain(Human-path) ability was also cancelled due to one of the perks of the system allowing nothing to affect Ichizu's soul. He was slashed into 2 even before he could move.

Yes!!!!...the shared vision was a strong ability but it won't matter if your opponent is way faster than you.

The missiles of Pain(Asura-path) were pierced by Ishtar's arrows which now headed towards the others. Looking towards the incoming attack ,Pain(Deva-path) walked in front the raised his right hand and spoke in a soft tone "*SHINRA TENSEI*...!!!!!!!!!!!"

BOOOOMMMMMM.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The force continues forward towards Ichizu and his companions. Ichizu activates his E.M.S and slowly speaks "*Despersion*..."

{Woosh}

The incoming concentrated attack just disappears mid-way like it was never there in the first place.

Pain(Deva-path) sends the other two paths to fight Ichizu's companion as he and Konan fights Ichizu.

Ichizu makes handsigns and yells "Summoning-jutsu" and {Poof} two ladies appeared from the smoke.

"Ara ara....we thought you would never summon us Ichizu-san...." said one of the lady wearing white outfit with a darker complexion than the other lady.

"Sorry Tagorihime-san and Tagistsuhime-san but till now I never needed your or any other summons help in fighting anyone. So you both are my firsts I guess." said Ichizu with a teasing smile on his face.

"Humph...at least those toad weren't the first one....." said both of them at the same time.

"Please aid Eresgkigal and Ishtar in the fight as both of them are at disadvantage when it comes to speed." said Ichizu with an serious face.

"What made you so serio....*gasp* rinnegan" cried out both of them after seeing the rinnegan.

"Wait what...!!!!!!" shouted ,as they saw 6-people possessing the rinnegan even th summon did.

"Well I will explain later so leave the woman and that man to me." said Ichizu with a smirk on his face as both of them nodded and went to assist Eresgkigal and Ishtar.

"Fufufufufufufu...let's dance." said Ichizu with a battle crazed expression of his face.
