In Konoha, This Naruto Has Decided To Take It Easy

Animal Path Pain summoned the Giant Multi-headed Dog and Giant Crustacean, which ruthlessly tearing open the chests of several Rogue Shinobi before crushing them.

Ninjutsu struck the hard exterior of these Summoned Beasts without causing the slightest ripple, and then began the relentless slaughter.

Another team was completely wiped out by Human Path Pain, and their souls were ripped from their bodies, along with their memories. In the end, their corpses were discarded on the ground like dead bugs.

Preta Path Pain blocked an entire team's attack and sucked all of their Chakra away.

Naraka Path Pain pulled out the tongues of one team and swallowed them. After leaving a field of corpses behind, he turned and walked away.

In just one hour, six of the eight teams had already perished. Tayuya's team was one of the few lucky ones to survive, while the other surviving team had hidden themselves in a nearby building from the start.

"They... it seems like something has happened to them." One of the people hiding in the building cautiously withdrew his gaze from the window and said back tremblingly.

The abandoned building was dimly lit, and the floor was covered in wet footprints. They stretched from the staircase, leading deep into the lower floors.

"What should we do?" Another person asked with pale face, "We shouldn't have come here! No matter how high the commission, it's worthless if we don't survive."

"Shut up! We're already here, so stop saying such things!" The third person whispered harshly. It was the burly Shinobi who had been rallying the others earlier.

But at this moment, with the continuous screams and explosions from outside, even his once bold demeanor was starting to crack. The shadow of death was creeping closer, rendering logic useless.

There were five people hiding in the building, and the other two were tense, with their eyes darting around. Even the slightest noise from downstairs made their souls nearly leave their bodies.

"Let's hide a little longer. Once things calm down, we can try to escape!" The burly Shinobi said, "Until then, everyone keep quiet."

"Otherwise…"

Before the burly Shinobi could finish speaking, a cold, emotionless voice suddenly echoed from a dark corner.

"Ah, so the rats hiding for their lives are here."

"Who!!?" Someone shouted in horror.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" The person yelled as he quickly formed hand seals, spewing Fire Release Ninjutsu toward the darkness.

The flames shot forward in a straight line, but after touching the darkness, it bounced off at a strange angle. A figure slowly emerged from the darkness, with orange hair and a stern face. And there are also scary black rods covering his entire body.

"Who am I?" Deva Path Pain repeated the Shinobi's question and stretched out his hand towards them.

"Damn it! Die!" One person instantly launched a Ninjutsu, and a raging flame burst out, heading straight for Deva Path.

The other four had also completed their hand seals, sending a barrage of elemental Ninjutsu at Deva Path. But they soon fell into despair, as all their Ninjutsu were deflected by the other party.

Amid the scattered remnants of their failed Ninjutsu, Deva Path spoke slowly, "I am the God who maintains order."

One of the Rogue Shinobi was instantly pulled toward Pain, and his neck was twisted with a snap. Another tried to flee but was sucked over again and his heart was pierced through.

All five died in despair within the dark, abandoned building. Blood spread across the rough floor, flowing down the stairs.

Of the eight teams, only one remained.

At this moment, Tayuya and her team were already blocked by Konan. Two male Shinobi were killed instantly by Konan's paper attacks. The two bodies, which were pierced like hedgehogs, fell straight into a nearby puddle.

Everything happened in a flash. And without saying a word, Tayuya activated her Cursed Seal.

Red Sparrow didn't react but instead smiled. She walked to the side and said, "So, you've finally revealed yourself. Oto, I had long suspected your identity."

"Hmm." Tayuya remained indifferent at this time. She glanced at Red Sparrow for a moment before looking away.

Red Sparrow's face suddenly stiffened, and she finally lost her temper and snarled angrily, "Why don't you react at all? You don't ask anything, acting like you don't care! I hate people like you, pretending to be indifferent!"

"Hmm." Tayuya raised her flute, her gaze fixed on Konan the whole time, completely ignoring Red Sparrow barking nearby.

The situation had already unfolded. She didn't care about the reasons behind it. From the start, Tayuya had been mentally prepared to be betrayed, and simply wanted to see what would happen.

However, Tayuya hadn't expected the enemy to be so formidable and her chances of escape seemed slim.

"But you're going to die now. Heh, I really want to see the look of despair on your face, you..." Red Sparrow ranted hysterically on the side.

"Tenshi-sama, quickly deal with this woman..."

Before she could finish her words, Red Sparrow gulped and suddenly found herself unable to speak. Her neck felt cold, and something seemed to be flowing out.

The world spun around her, and with a thud, she collapsed into the puddle.

Tayuya had no desire to engage in a drawn-out battle with Konan and tried to flee.

Over the years, she had faced numerous life-threatening situations, and escape was always the best choice. She knew this was enemy territory, and reinforcements could surround her at any moment.

Without hesitation, Tayuya used her flute to summon her puppets to attack Konan, while she herself made her escape. A sharp ringing noise echoed, and Tayuya was suddenly pulled back by Deva Path, who had arrived unexpectedly.

She tried to struggle but found she couldn't move. She could only watch as Pain's hand loomed larger and larger in her vision, with her throat as its target.

Realizing her struggle was futile, Tayuya accepted that this might be the end. Under the shadow of death, her heart was surprisingly calm. It wasn't uncommon for a mission to go wrong, and death was just a part of it.

Flashes of memories streamed through her mind like a reel of her life, but there weren't any particularly happy moments. Regrets, it seemed that she has nothing to regret. If she had to say one, it would probably be only one.

'That guy said he would return, but three years had passed without a word. Not that I had expected him to. I had never envisioned living a normal life, as it wasn't something she wanted.'

From childhood until now, the only skill she had learned was killing. Apart from completing missions, there seemed to be nothing else she was capable of. So, it just didn't seem to fit.

But just before dying, there was still a tiny flicker of hope in her heart: She wanted to see the bastard who had led her astray in this life. If she could see him again, she would definitely punch him hard.

Just as Pain's hand was about to grasp Tayuya's throat, a figure descended from the sky, a figure descended from the sky and crashed down with Rasengan.

Without giving Deva Path time to react, the figure used the invisible Flying Thunder God Kunai to teleport and struck Deva Path from behind.
