The multi-legged centipede took the opportunity to wrap its body around Gamabunta, its huge, twisting force making the giant toad groan under the pressure.

"Damn bugs!" Gamabunta roared, exerting his strength with a powerful burst of chakra in an attempt to break free from the centipede's restraints. Gamahiro slashed with his sword, helping Gamabunta by cutting off several sections of the centipede's body, splashing a sticky liquid everywhere.

The battle between the summoned beasts was brutal and shocking. The roars, collisions, and clanging of swords resounded throughout the valley. The ground groaned continuously under their immense weight, showering the battlefield with gravel and dust.

While Jiraiya assisted Gamabunta in dealing with the attacks, he also kept a close eye on the movements of the Paths of Pain themselves. He knew that these summoned beasts were just an opening act; the real threat came from the six Rinnegan wielders who stood motionless, watching coldly. The battle had just begun.

The fight among the summoned beasts was extremely fierce, but the three great toads of Mount Myoboku were experienced veterans. Their coordination was excellent, and they gradually began to gain the upper hand.

Gamabunta's short sword was powerful and heavy, and every slash made it difficult for his opponents to defend. Gamahiro's twin swords were as fast as lightning, his attacks tricky and ferocious. And while Gamaken spoke modestly, his defense was impeccable, and his counterattacking forked spear was extremely powerful.

Soon, the Rinnegan's summoned beasts began to suffer casualties. Gamabunta found a weakness in the giant rhinoceros and stabbed it in the eye. The rhino wailed and disappeared in a puff of white smoke. All of the multi-headed dog's clones were killed by Gamahiro, and several of its heads were chopped off, slowing its movements. The bull was knocked dizzy by Gamaken's shield and then pierced by his spear. The centipede was cut into several pieces by Gamabunta and Gamahiro, and the strange bird in the sky was repeatedly repelled by Jiraiya's ninjutsu, not daring to approach easily.

"It seems your summoned beasts aren't so tough after all!" Gamabunta said proudly, blowing a ring of smoke from his pipe.

However, the Six Paths of Pain remained expressionless. The Animal Path formed a seal again. "Summoning Jutsu!"

This time, when the white smoke dissipated, it was not a new monster that appeared. Instead, a giant, lobster-like summoning beast emerged. It opened its huge mouth and violently sprayed a thick foam that filled the sky. This was no harmless froth; it had a strong effect that blocked vision and interfered with perception. At the same time, the injured multi-headed dog and strange bird were summoned again, both completely healed.

"What?! They can be summoned again? And their injuries have recovered?!" Jiraiya was shocked. This was simply a battle of attrition.

Their vision was severely obstructed by the foam, and the movements of the three toads were immediately restricted. The strange bird took the opportunity to dive down from a blind spot in the foam at high speed, its sharp claws scratching deep, bloody marks on Gamabunta's back. The multi-headed dog, also hiding in the foam, suddenly leaped out and bit Gamaken's leg.

"Damn it! There's no end to this!" Jiraiya knew that he couldn't delay any longer. He had to take decisive action. He said to the two Toad Sages on his shoulders, "Boss, Big Sister, we have to use that!"

Pain seemed to sense Jiraiya's intention. The Deva Path said coldly, "Stop him."

In an instant, the Asura Path moved. He raised his arm, and its mechanisms opened, revealing several tracking missiles.

Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh!

The missiles shot fiercely toward Jiraiya.

"Don't even think about it!" Gamabunta suddenly leaped up, blocking all the missiles with his massive body. The flames of the explosions burst out on his back, making him groan in pain, his thick skin burned black and cracked.

"Bunta!" Jiraiya exclaimed.
