Reviving the Uchiha Clan: Starting with a Legacy of Many Descendants

"Slash!"

The deflected laser beam sliced through the Asura Path's body, splitting it in two.

"Well done! We took one down!"

The group cheered as Monya sneered, "Hah! So the Rinnegan isn't all that impressive after all!"

Yamanaka Haiichi quickly interjected, "Let's press the advantage. Everyone, cover me! I'll use my secret technique to deal with the summoner. These summoning beasts are too troublesome and must be eliminated immediately!"

"Understood!"

The group exchanged glances, their strategy clear in their minds. With spirits high, they split into formation: Tsume Inuzuka and Monya charged in for close combat, Tsuchidai provided ranged support with Lava Style, and Haiichi stayed behind, waiting for an opening to strike.

Despite losing one member, the remaining five Paths of Pain stood motionless, their expressions unchanged.

The Deva Path closed its eyes briefly, raised its hands, and smirked faintly, sensing the group's rising battle spirit.

Haiichi observed everything carefully and shifted his target from the Animal Path to the Deva Path. He muttered to himself,

"So you're about to act, are you? Fine, I'll control you first!"

"Ninja Art: Mind Chaos Body Technique!"

This technique disrupted the target's mind and actions, making them act against their will, even if they were fully conscious.

"Hm?"

Although the technique had been activated, the Deva Path remained unaffected.

"What… What's going on?"

Haiichi was stunned. This had never happened before.

It couldn't be a mistake on his part—there was only one explanation.

The Mind Chaos Body Technique couldn't control him!

Cold sweat dripped down Haiichi's forehead as he gritted his teeth and used a higher-level technique, targeting all enemies simultaneously.

"Ninja Art: Mind Chaos Combat Technique!"

This advanced jutsu forced all targets to fight one another.

But it still didn't work.

Haiichi's secret techniques had no effect on the Five Paths of Pain before him.

Jiraiya, watching with his hands clasped in preparation for Sage Mode, sighed quietly and murmured, "Just as I thought… these guys are likely already dead."

Haiichi was confused. "Dead? Jiraiya-sensei, what do you mean by that?"

Jiraiya's face darkened as he explained, "I've seen all of their original bodies before. They were ordinary ninjas—none of them had the Rinnegan."

Haiichi's eyes widened. "How is that possible? If what you're saying is true, then…!"

Jiraiya nodded. "Yes, it's incredible, isn't it? This vast world is full of mysteries. I suspect this is a power of the Rinnegan—perhaps just one of its abilities..."

As the two conversed, Tsume and Monya reached the Deva Path.

"Kuromaru, let's do it!"

"Woof!"

"Ninja Art: Rotating Fang!"

Tsume and Kuromaru spun rapidly, becoming a deadly drill aimed straight at the Deva Path.

Monya wasn't far behind, enlarging his right arm to deliver a powerful strike toward the other Paths of Pain.

"Earth Style: Rock Fist!" he roared.

As the attacks closed in, the Deva Path opened his eyes slightly and said coldly,

"We are the Six Paths of Pain. We are divine beings. Did you honestly think you could defeat me? How laughable."

"Shinra Tensei."

"Boom!"

Centered on the Deva Path, a transparent repulsive barrier expanded outward. Everything within its radius—attacks, objects, and even the ninjas themselves—was forcefully blown away, leaving nothing untouched.

"Hmph..."

Thick smoke filled the battlefield, and an eerie silence followed.

The Deva Path lowered his hands, his voice dripping with scorn.

"This is the fate of ignorant mortals."

"To challenge a god is nothing short of… folly."
