Chapter 377 Another Battle Against Payne
The gentle, warm morning light shone on the two sleeping peacefully in each other's arms.
Uchiha Mitsunori lay on his side, his arm firmly around Kurotsuchi's waist, his breathing even and steady.
Hei Tu curled up in his arms, her short black hair scattered messily on the pillow, her black pupils closed, and a satisfied smile on her lips.
In the past few days, Uchiha Mitsunori has put aside almost all his affairs to focus on accompanying Kurotsuchi, whom he has just added to his harem.
Their intimacy grew day by day, no longer the shy and tentative initial meeting, but a familiar reliance on each other.
"Well……"
Black Soil slowly opened its eyes in the morning light, and as soon as it moved, it was pulled even tighter.
She looked up and met Uchiha Mitsumine's deep, gentle eyes.
Good morning, Sanfeng.
With a soft, sleepy voice, she raised her hand and gently stroked his cheek.
Uchiha Mitsunaga planted a good morning kiss on her lips: "Good morning, Kurotsuchi, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"No, we should get up!"
Seeing his slightly aggressive gaze, Heitu shook her head, her long, fair legs instinctively curling up slightly.
Seeing the expectation in her eyes, Uchiha Mitsunori reached out and ruffled her short black hair. "Alright, let's get up and wash up!"
After the two finished washing up, they had just reached the palace gate when a hurried figure rushed over—it was a messenger ninja from the Land of Water.
He knelt on one knee, his face grave: "Lord Sanmine! Urgent military intelligence! The Akatsuki's Six Paths of Pain have launched a surprise attack on the border defenses, and we need your support!"
"Pain's invasion?"
The gentle aura surrounding Uchiha Mitsunaka vanished, replaced by a chilling killing intent.
The "grand show" he and Nagato agreed to finally unfolded as scheduled.
Heitu instinctively tightened her grip on Sanfeng's hand, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes: "Sanfeng, I'll go with you!"
Uchiha Mitsunori turned to look at her, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. He gently patted the back of her hand: "The border is dangerous. You stay in the palace. I'll be back soon."
Kurotsuchi shook her head, her tone stubborn: "No! I'm already your woman, your battlefield is my battlefield. Besides, my Earth Release and Lava Release ninjutsu can be helpful; I won't hold you back!"
Since she chose to stay by his side, she never intended to be a hothouse flower.
Looking into her determined eyes, Uchiha Mitsunori felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He stopped refusing, reached out and pulled her into his arms, whispering in her ear, "Okay, stay by my side, don't leave my sight."
"Um!"
Heitu nodded vigorously and hugged his waist tightly.
A moment later, the two figures appeared in the sky above the border.
Uchiha Mitsunori, carrying Kurotsuchi, suddenly appeared on the border.
The wind whistled in their ears, and Heitu nestled tightly against the three peaks.
The border defense line is now a sea of fire.
Collapsed fortifications, scattered weapons, wounded ninjas, and the cold figure of Pain stood out starkly amidst the smoke of battle.
"Lord Mitsumi!"
Seeing the golden streak of light rushing towards them, a glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the border ninja.
Uchiha Mitsunori, holding Kurotsuchi, landed steadily in the center of the defensive line.
He shielded Kurotsuchi behind him, and his Mangekyou Sharingan instantly activated, the scarlet patterns swirling in his pupils, causing Pain's movements to pause slightly.
"Uchiha Mitsunori, your death is near."
Pain's voice was cold and emotionless. He hovered at the same height as the three peaks, and all six Pains turned to him at the same time, creating a powerful sense of oppression.
Uchiha Mitsunaga's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes filled with disdain: "Pain, you didn't have enough fun last time, this time, I will completely destroy you."
Pain, the Deva Path, thrust his hands forward: "Further words are useless, prepare to die! Shinra Tensei!"
A tremendous repulsive force erupted instantly, sweeping towards the three peaks. Wherever it passed, the ground was blown away, and rocks and broken wood were shattered into pieces.
Kurotsuchi instinctively clenched his fist, wanting to activate Earth Release for defense, but was stopped by Mikado raising his hand.
"Step back."
Uchiha Mitsunori's voice was steady and powerful. He stepped forward, his entire body covered in golden chakra, and he withstood the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei.
His feet were firmly planted on the ground, the rocks beneath his feet cracked with spiderweb-like patterns, yet he never retreated even a single step.
"What?"
A barely perceptible tremor flashed in Pain's eyes. He hadn't expected that Pain could withstand Shinra Tensei with just his physical body.
"Payne, it's my turn."
The figures of the three Uchiha peaks vanished from their original spots in an instant, appearing in front of Pain the next second. A single, powerful punch, seemingly carrying the force to destroy the heavens and earth, slashed towards Pain.
Pain reacted extremely quickly, immediately activating "Universal Pull" to try and draw the three peaks in before launching an attack.
However, the power of the three peaks was too great, and the suction force of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Attraction could not shake him at all.
The fist slammed into Pain's body, and with a "crack," Pain's body was split in two. The pale purple chakra dissipated, and the corpse fell to the ground.
The Asura Path's missiles, the Animal Path's summoned beasts, the Hungry Ghost Path's chakra absorption, and the Human Path's soul extraction—a dense barrage of attacks blocked all of the Three Peaks' escape routes.
Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes narrowed, and his golden chakra surged. The skeleton of Susanoo instantly unfolded, covering his entire body and transforming into a complete Susanoo.
The golden Susanoo, towering a thousand meters tall, wields a massive chakra sword, descending like a god of war amidst the smoke and fire.
"Susanoo - Slash!"
Uchiha Mitsuhide controlled Susanoo, his longsword sweeping out, golden sword energy roaring out, instantly cutting all the Asura Path's missiles in half, and the summoning beast was also cleaved in two by the sword energy, its corpse scattered all over the ground.
The Preta Path attempted to absorb the Susanoo's chakra but was caught in the sword energy, its body being torn apart.
Before the human path's soul extraction could even begin, it was grasped by Susanoo's hand, and with a gentle squeeze, it turned into ashes.
Uchiha Mitsunori, controlling Susanoo, pointed his longsword directly at Pain: "It's no use. Today, no one can save you."
The golden longsword, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, slashed towards the Animal Path Pain.
Pain attempted to use Shinra Tensei again to stop him, but was struck by the other hand of the three peaks, causing the Animal Path's body to explode.
In just a few minutes, five of the Six Paths of Pain were destroyed by the Three Peaks, leaving only the Deva Path of Pain.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, the Susanoo of the Uchiha Mitsurugi slowly retracted.
He turned to look at Hei Tu behind him, the coldness in his eyes instantly fading, replaced by a gentle expression: "Hei Tu, are you alright?"
Heitu shook his head, quickly walked to his side, his face full of admiration: "Sanfeng, you're amazing!"
Uchiha Mitsunori grasped her hand, his gaze shifting to the distant sky: "This is just the beginning. The true power of the Akatsuki has not yet been revealed."
