[Mizukage Mei Terumi: "That really had a touch of everyday life to it..."]
[Tenten: "Speaking of which, does Naruto stand a chance against Pain...?"]
[Neji Hyuga: "Hard to say. Pain hasn't recovered his Chakra yet, after all..."]
[Rock Lee: "This video got me so fired up! I'm going to run 500 laps around Konoha!!"]
[Might Guy: "This is youth!!!"]
[Iwagakure Anbu: "You two idiots above, what's the point of training in Taijutsu...?"]
The video continued.
"Surrender quietly. Your death will bring peace..." Pain's gaze was cold.
"Didn't I tell you to stop joking?!"
As he spoke, Naruto decisively hurled the Rasenshuriken.
"He actually threw it?!" Granny Shima's pupils contracted.
"What?!"
The Rasenshuriken sliced through the air,
rushing toward Pain.
Pain and the others scattered, but the Animal Path was a little slow to react.
With no other choice,
the Human Path threw the Animal Path out of the way,
taking the attack himself.
The Rasenshuriken rapidly expanded, and the Human Path was quickly sliced in two.
"Summoning Technique!"
The Animal Path slapped one hand against the ground.
In the smoke,
the Archaeopteryx appeared. With a long screech, it rushed toward Naruto.
Naruto quickly jumped aside, leaping high into the air.
In the distance, the Rasenshuriken continued to expand,
producing a violent explosion.
Everyone was stunned by the sight.
"Just as Deidara said, he seems to be the kind of guy who won't listen to others..." Pain's gaze was cold.
Shikamaru was just as shocked as he looked at the deep crater in the distance.
Is Naruto really that strong...?
However,
worried, Shikamaru still wanted to go support Naruto,
only for his father to stop him.
After all,
if they went to help now, they would only hold Naruto back.
The scene shifted.
The Hell Hound began to roar, its body quickly splitting in two and breaking free of Gamabunta's grip.
The three Toads were in a tight spot once again.
Naruto carefully surveyed the area
and saw that the battlefield had been split into two parts.
Another long screech came from high above, and Naruto quickly jumped aside.
The Animal Path rushed at him, slashing with a black rod in hand.
Naruto pulled out a Kunai to meet her attack.
Clang, clang, clang!
The clash of weapons echoed through the air as sparks flew.
The two quickly landed and faced each other, the tension steadily mounting.
"Your movements have gotten sluggish.
It seems your Senjutsu abilities don't last very long.
Did that move just now use up your Senjutsu Chakra?"
Pain had noticed something, and his voice was cold.
"Damn, Sage Mode is about to wear off..." Naruto panted.
"But...
Before Sage Mode wears off, I have to at least take this one down..."
Naruto stared intently at the Animal Path in front of him.
[Deidara: "Yeah! Naruto's about to run out of sage Chakra. It's only a matter of time before he loses!!"]
[Hidan: "Exactly! Why don't you hurry up and surrender?!"]
[Naruto Uzumaki: "I'm not going to lose, you two idiots!!"]
[Deidara: "Yeah! I could take down an idiot like you without even trying!"]
[Ōnoki: "Enough, Deidara! Shut up already!!!"]
[Sasuke Uchiha: "I've spotted a weakness in the Pain from the video..."]
[Uchiha Izuna: "Damn, a junior from my clan, are you really that amazing?"]
[Sasuke Uchiha: "Of course. I'm a two-tomoe powerhouse now!"]
[Uchiha Fugaku: "Enough, Sasuke, stop talking..."]
[Madara Uchiha: "Two tomoe at twelve, this..."]
[Indra: "You can't rush awakening the Sharingan. You have to take it slowly. I awakened the Mangekyō when I was twelve..."]
[Shisui Uchiha: "Our ancestor is right. I awakened the Mangekyō when I was sixteen..."]
[Uchiha Itachi: "I was twelve..."]
[Uchiha Hikari: "I awakened the Mangekyō at twelve too..."]
[Sasuke Uchiha: "????"]
The video continued.
"Let's cut off the Rinnegan's line of sight, Ma. You know what I mean, right?!"
Sage Fukasaku watched the scene in the distance.
"Got it!"
Granny Shima nodded.
Gamabunta was still locked in a fierce fight with the Hell Hound,
with no chance to break away.
"Little Bunta! Listen up, I'm going to throw you over to Naruto now!"
Sage Fukasaku explained his plan.
"Listen carefully to what I'm about to say!"
At that moment,
Granny Shima leaped high into the air.
"Sage Art: Wind Release: Dust Cloud!"
Granny Shima spewed thick smoke from her mouth,
quickly obscuring the vision of those around her.
Meanwhile,
Sage Fukasaku lifted Gamabunta high and hurled him over!
The Animal Path blinked, and when she opened her eyes again, everything around her was pitch-black...
Wait... What's going on?
[Deidara: "Yeah! What's going on here?"]
[Hidan: "How did it go pitch-black in the blink of an eye?"]
[Tobirama Senju: "I see. Naruto is a child with a high battle IQ!"]
[Hashirama Senju: "To think he used that method to deal with an Animal Path..."]
[Ino Yamanaka: "What's going on? Why didn't I understand it?"]
The video continued.
The Animal Path looked around warily,
the slimy surroundings making her even more cautious.
However,
a moment later, Naruto landed several punches on her.
Outside,
Gamabunta planted his sword in the ground and sat upright, his mouth shut tight.
The Deva Path looked around, but couldn't find the Animal Path.
"Where is she?" the Deva Path asked.
Bang!
Naruto sent the Animal Path flying with a Rasengan in his hand.
Gamabunta opened his mouth and exhaled rings of smoke.
The incapacitated Animal Path appeared amid the smoke.
"She was in his mouth..."
The Deva Path frowned deeply at the sight.
With the Animal Path defeated,
her summons also vanished in puffs of smoke.
Naruto looked at the Animal Path on the ground,
panting heavily.
His Sage Mode had already worn off!
"Has your Senjutsu worn off?"
The Deva Path looked at Naruto in the distance and asked coldly.
"Even in Sage Mode, I can only use the Rasenshuriken twice..."
Naruto answered between heavy breaths.
"Pa, the boy's Sage Mode has worn off!" Granny Shima said anxiously.
"Of course I know!" Sage Fukasaku replied.
"It's dangerous, but we have to fuse while we have the chance!" Granny Shima said.
"That's impossible..." Sage Fukasaku shook his head.
"Now's the time to do it!"
The Deva Path rushed toward Naruto.
At that moment,
without Sage Mode, Naruto was at his weakest.
The battlefield grew tense once more.
"From now on, I'll have to use that method..."
Naruto took the scroll from his back into his arms and sprinted away.
Gamabunta swung his sword,
trying to block the Deva Path.
But the Deva Path had anticipated it and quickly jumped out of the way.
"He keeps darting all over the place, damn it..." Gamabunta said anxiously.
The Deva Path deftly avoided every attack
and quickly landed in front of Naruto.
Just then, Sage Fukasaku shouted anxiously:
"Come over here, Naruto! Leave him to me!"
Naruto nodded and threw the scroll to Sage Fukasaku.
Sage Fukasaku caught the scroll and quickly spread it out on the ground.
Pain rushed over, and Naruto barely managed to fend him off.
The two exchanged blows, the sound of attacks cutting through the air unceasing.
However,
Naruto was visibly running out of strength and was no match for Pain.
"Next, I'm going to enter Sage Mode, so get back!
It'll be dangerous if you get caught in the Rasenshuriken!"
Naruto shouted anxiously.
With no choice, Gamabunta, who had wanted to help, jumped away.
[Hanzo of the Salamander: "I don't get it. How is Naruto going to gather what he needs for Sage Mode now?"]
[Deidara: "Heh, if you ask me, he's about to die and is just putting on a brave front! Yeah!"]
[Sasori: "Idiot, shut up. You're so noisy..."]
(You're so good-looking, could you add this to your bookshelf...?)
