Chapter 182: Pain is Shocked—Did He Really Just Kill Uchiha Akira So Easily?



The Konoha side had already prepared for this.

So, when Deidara and Sasori launched their attack, even though it was sudden, the Konoha ninjas reacted quickly. Jiraiya immediately rushed out to face Deidara.

Tsunade also appeared, her monstrous strength reducing Sasori's puppets to mere toys, smashing them with a single punch.

If it weren't for her concern for the surrounding civilians, Tsunade would have had an even greater advantage.

Meanwhile, Kakashi and the others stepped in to block the stray attacks and swiftly evacuated the crowd.

Seeing two of the legendary Sannin, Tsunade and Jiraiya, appear, the initially panicked civilians began to calm down significantly.

The title of "Sannin" still carried a lot of weight!

"Akira went into the barrier alone?"

"Is the target Sasuke or Hinata?"

"No... it's more like they're using them as bait to force Akira to come to the rescue!"

Hiashi Hyuga was intently watching the exam field, his expression full of concern.

Though he wasn't sure if Akira had gone in for Sasuke or Hinata, one thing was clear: without hesitation, Akira rushed in to save the people important to him.

That kind of loyalty was truly moving!

Pain was fast, but Uchiha Akira wasn't slow either. In terms of speed, Akira was undoubtedly one of the top in the ninja world.

Both of these nearly Kage-level figures unleashed their full speed, streaking toward the Sand Village like two bolts of lightning!

At that moment, Sasuke and Hinata were unaware of what was happening, but they noticed the arena was now covered by a giant yellowish barrier. Both felt that something was terribly wrong.

"Sasuke, someone is coming! They're moving incredibly fast, and their chakra is extremely strong!"

Just as they were unsure of the situation, Hinata, still using her Byakugan, suddenly shouted in alarm!

Hearing this, Sasuke's expression immediately changed, and he quickly prepared his Chidori, activating his three-tomoe Sharingan.

Hinata's Byakugan could see up to five kilometers! For someone like Pain, that distance wasn't far at all.

Within moments, Pain appeared, rushing toward Hinata at an astonishing speed. Even though Sasuke wasn't the target, there was no way he could just stand by and let the girl next to him -Hinata, Akira's girlfriend-get attacked!

With a burst of lightning, Sasuke's body flashed forward, his Chidori at full power, as he lunged at Pain!

"Shinra Tensei!" Pain raised a hand as Sasuke rushed at him.

A powerful repulsive force surged out, halting Sasuke mid-air and sending him flying backward!

This invisible force was impossible to dodge or counter unless one had enough strength to resist it.

After sending Sasuke flying, Pain turned his hand toward Hinata, activating Bansho Ten'in (Almighty Pull), and Hinata's body was pulled toward him, completely out of her control.

"Am I too late?" Akira pushed his Body Flicker Technique to the limit, the scenery around him blurring as he raced forward. From a distance, he could see Sasuke being thrown aside.

Even though Sasuke had intervened and briefly delayed Pain, it looked like Pain was about to make his move on Hinata. Was he still going to be too late?

But, even though Akira knew he might not make it in time, he refused to give up.

In the blink of an eye, the Kusanagi sword appeared in his hand, chakra surging through it.

While still moving at high speed, the sword extended, thrusting directly toward Pain's raised arm!

Pain glanced sideways, seeing a sharp flash of sword light. He quickly retreated, and the Bansho Ten'in technique was canceled.

Not even kunai could pierce his skin before. How was he injured now?

Orochimaru had experienced Shinra Tensei when he once tried to steal Pain's Rinnegan. From his perspective, this technique shouldn't have been enough to harm Akira!

Looking over at Hinata and Sasuke, though they were injured, they were still alive.

This meant that Shinra Tensei's power hadn't been at a level capable of injuring Akira that

badly.

So what was going on? Was Shinra Tensei specifically targeting Akira? Or was Akira not in top

form?

Or...

An idea popped into Orochimaru's mind, and he smiled.

Akira could predict the future, so he likely knew the Akatsuki's attack was coming.

Was this injury part of some plan?

Orochimaru believed that Akira might be pretending to be injured.

As he pondered this, it seemed more and more likely that Akira was feigning weakness.

Outside, people like Hinata, Sasuke, Hiashi, Fugaku, and even Jiraiya were all worried when

they saw Akira's bloody injury.

But Orochimaru was the only one who suspected that Akira was faking it!

Whatever the others thought, after sending Akira, Sasuke, and Hinata flying, Pain followed up, raising his hand and firing several black rods at them. "Hinata!" Akira shouted, swinging his Kusanagi sword to deflect the black rod aimed at her.

At the same time, he created a shadow clone, which he used as a stepping stone to propel himself toward Sasuke.

Landing, Sasuke's face was covered in blood, his pupils contracting as he saw Akira.

Akira had been pierced through the chest by one of the black rods, blood dripping from the

wound!

To protect Sasuke, Akira had taken the hit for him.

"Akira!" Hinata screamed as she rushed toward him, seeing the black rod sticking out of his

chest.

"Huh? I... I actually succeeded?" Pain stood in place, stunned.

His black rod had pierced Akira's chest, likely even striking his heart.

An injury like that-no one but Hidan could survive it.

Had he really just killed Uchiha Akira, the person he saw as a major threat?

Pain was shocked and confused.

This seemed... too easy!
