Naruto 423

Both Pain and Chouza compliment Kakashi's tactical skills. Kakashi states he may have figured out Pain's ability. Pain charges and the gathered ninja launch attacks in response. Kakashi throws an exploding charge for retreat. He determines all the attacks were blocked through some form of attraction and repulsion force, and that it appears to take a short interval to recharge. They can use that interval to plan their attack. A short time later Kakashi bursts from the ground below Pain. He's blown back and Pain comes to strike. Kakashi gives the signal and Akimichi roll in from either side. They're blown back but use the force to pull up a chain from the ground which binds Pain in place.

Kakashi launches towards Pain's head with Raikiri but is suddenly blocked by a damaged Asura. Kakashi tears through Asura and watches on with Sharingan. At Myouboku, Fukasaku asks Naruto if he's ready to practice fusing. Naruto wonders if Konoha's okay with the threat of Akatsuki. Fukasaku dismisses it, saying the village has excellent ninja and that a frog would alert them if needed. In Konoha, a bloodied Kakashi is pinned in rubble while Pain stands triumphant. Pain offers that this Kakashi is no clone and that he must end things quickly. He picks up a nail and states Kakashi must know pain... Kakashi offers that he can't dodge and the nail is launched into Kakashi's head...
