However, the immense exertion had already forced Naruto to exit Sage Mode.
The key issue is that Naruto is not yet able to fuse with the two sages of Mount Myōboku like Jiraiya did.
After all, there's still a "tenant" inside Naruto's body.
At this point, the only way to restore Natural Energy is to return to Mount Myōboku and re-coagulate it.
But Pain won't give him time.
Upon seeing Naruto in a weakened state, Deva Path immediately charged forward.
[Kushina: What do we do? What do we do? Minato, think of something quick!]
Seeing Naruto at a disadvantage, Kushina's worry grew increasingly serious.
[Minato Namikaze: Natural Energy cannot be moved during the absorption process; now it's up to Naruto himself.]
Naruto kept thinking about ways to defeat his opponent.
A full Chakra reserve is only enough to unleash two Rasenshuriken.
However, he still has two more opportunities to replenish Chuck's resources, and he must make a clean break before that.
Because Pain didn't notice the Sage Fukasaku to the side.
"Reverse Summoning Technique!" Sage Fukasaku summoned Naruto that was absorbing Natural Energy at Mount Myōboku.
"What!"
Before Deva Path could react, Naruto kicked Deva Path away.
Without giving the Deva Path any time to react, it immediately threw out Rasenshuriken.
But for some reason, the previously defeated Preta Path stood up again and directly absorbed and digested the Shuriken.
Naruto then noticed that the Naraka Path had summoned King of Hell again from Deva Path, and the Preta Path seemed to have been resurrected within it.
[Nagato: I told you, each of the Six Paths of Pain possesses different abilities, so don't underestimate them.]
[Hozuki Mangetsu: Six Pains, each possessing abilities in attack, intelligence gathering, summoning, defense, and support—isn't that a bit too overpowered?]
Each of Pain's abilities is already at the Kage Level; it's unimaginable what would happen if all of them were concentrated in one person.
I just don't know whether Obito's Six Paths of Jinchūriki or Nagato's Six Paths of Pain are more powerful.
The next battle must begin by eliminating the enemy's healer, who can revive.
Otherwise, the opponent will keep respawning.
If that's the case, then there's a solution.
Naruto began to condense Rasengan and used a smoke bomb to obscure the opponent's vision.
Within the massive smoke, Deva Path was unable to discern the other party's intentions.
Immediately, Rasenshuriken sliced through the smoke and shot straight at Deva Path Pain.
At this point, the Preta Path still considered it a normal Ninjutsu, so they didn't take it seriously.
"Uh, wait a minute!" Before the Preta Path could react, the Rasenshuriken beside him transformed into Naruto's appearance.
"Transformation Technique?"
The Preta Path had just absorbed the Transformation Technique used by Naruto, and now a Shadow Clone pounced out of the smoke and knocked the Preta Path to the ground.
Then came the real Rasenshuriken.
Faced with imminent danger, Deva Path merely gave a wicked smile.
"Pong!"
The Rasenshuriken was shattered by the powerful repulsive force.
I'm sorry, but my strength seems to be gradually returning—not much, but it's useful.
At this moment, the Deva Path Dao tightly protected the Naraka Path behind it.
"It's not over yet." At that moment, Naruto's figure suddenly reappeared above the Naraka Path's head.
"Sage Art: Spiraling Serial Spheres!"
Unbeknownst to the Deva Path, Naruto's true form single-handedly defeated the Naraka Path, who was capable of resurrection, in one move.
[Minato Namikaze: Well done, three-stage attack.]
Minato realized that everything Naruto had done before was to attract attention from various parties; his real target had always been the Naraka Path behind the Deva Path.
[Obito: Naruto's battle intelligence is just too strong!]
You ask why I don't say Naruto's intelligence is too high? Those who know, know.
Even when facing the Six Paths of Pain, they were still able to gain a significant advantage.
[Rasa: In that case, the situation is quite clear.]
[Mei Terumi: Everyone, don't forget, the most powerful Deva Path, Pain, hasn't even made a move yet.]
Because the Deva Path hadn't made much of a move, everyone had forgotten about him. This was the man who had just caused an explosion in Konoha!
"It's barely acceptable." He saw Naruto and his Shadow Clones closing in on him.
The Deva Path stretched out its hands.
"Shinra Tensei!"
All of Naruto's were thrown back by the immense repulsive force.
At this moment, only the Deva Path and the Preta Path remained on the field.
Seeing that the three Toads from Mount Myōboku were about to take advantage of the situation, Pain dodged all their attacks with a few quick movements.
Five seconds later, Pain's ultimate ability was off cooldown again.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Another powerful attack struck, and the three Toads were blasted hundreds of meters away without any chance to resist.
It seems highly unlikely that they will survive.
"You are indeed very strong. You are the first person to have pushed Pain to this point." At this moment, even the Deva Path no longer underestimated him.
"But, the Banshō Ten'in!"
Naruto's body seemed to be out of control as he rushed towards the Deva Path, at which point the Preta Path seized the opportunity to deliver a heavy blow to Naruto's stomach.
Then, a demon pounced and locked Naruto's body in place.
Let's stop here!
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. After all, you're Jinchūriki."
"Hmph, it didn't hurt that much at all. Don't underestimate Sage Mode." Naruto was still being stubborn.
Just as Naruto was about to break free of his restraints, he suddenly realized that the power within his body was gradually decreasing.
Before long, the Senjutsu Chakra in Naruto's body was completely absorbed by the Preta Path.
"Nine-Tails captured successfully."
After all that effort, this operation is finally going to be completed.
Just as Deva Path was about to take Naruto away, something unexpected happened.
The Preta Path, which had just been absorbing Natural Energy, seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.
First, its body gradually began to frogify, and its entire body eventually turned into the shape of a frog.
His body then underwent irreversible petrification.
"Natural Energy is really hard to control." Naruto then forcefully broke free from the stone-turned Preta Path.
It seems that Nagato was unaware of the drawbacks of absorbing too much Senjutsu Chakra.
"Alright, all ready, let's go, kid." Seeing that Naruto was gaining the upper hand, Sage Fukasaku also completed his spell and was about to make his move.
The Toad Genjutsu was now complete.
Suddenly, a powerful suction force appeared again, and Sage Fukasaku was pulled in without any warning.
Then, the Deva Path used Black Receivers to pierce through Sage Fukasaku's body.
Deva Path Pain had suffered from this kind of Genjutsu before, so how could he possibly fall for it again?
[Jiraiya: What?! Even Sage Fukasaku!]
At this moment Jiraiya simply couldn't believe that his disciple had actually Sage Fukasaku...
Regardless of who wins or loses this war, Konoha will suffer too many losses.
[Nagato: Jiraiya- sensei, this... this has nothing to do with me.]
At this moment, Nagato realized the situation was dire; had he offended everyone in Konoha with his actions?
Even Mount Myōboku has been thoroughly offended by him.
Should we run away next?
